She turned the letter over between her fingers, considering it with interest. It had been slipped into her backpack, and it was so utterly delicate and cute she almost didn't want to open the envelope. Pale pink paper, delicately perfumed (the Chimera had lifted it to her nose to smell it) and sealed with a delicate lacy gold foil sticker. But she was so curious about what was inside. So carefully, trying not to damage sticker or envelope.
The paper was just as delicate and pretty, and she found herself giggling just a little. Someone had gone a long way to make this as cute as possible!
To the prettiest chimera I've ever seen, the letter began, in elegant handwriting,
I wasn't sure how to say this to you, so instead I'm going to write it down. Every time I think about talking to you I get nervous and flushed, and I don't want to mess this up - but I think you're wonderful and clever and beautiful. You're so confident when you answer questions, so sure whenever you turn in a test. I think I may be in love with you.
Sincerely, the girl behind you in Language Arts.
She felt her face turn bright red, and she let out a little, delighted giggle. Oh, no wonder it was done up so nicely - it was a love letter! She had never gotten one before, but it made her heart race. She thought back to her class - to a pretty girl a row back. The chimera had never thought of her that way before, but now that she knew she was interested -- well.
She would have to talk to her admirer, for certain.

"Where did I put that pencil?" He muttered, his brows flexing as he dug through the many pockets of his school bag. Curse this thing for having so many storage spaces, it was a mess trying to find anything once you shoved it inside, and he really needed his lucky pencil! Math class was next up and without his lucky pencil, he was sure to fail! The fallen fussed and whined, before finally grasping onto the thinness of a familiar object, and thrust his hand into the air. What a relief, he'd found it! ... But what was this letter attached to it? He blinked, detached his pencil from the tape, and opened the letter.
"Dear Zephyr,"
Oh dear, he recognized the handwriting right off the bat! It was a letter from his roommate, Beta! A blush of embarrassment crossed his cheeks and he tilted the letter toward himself, out of fear that anyone might be watching.
"I'm really sorry about arguing with you last night. It was terrible of me to yell at you for something as trivial as that. I mean, it's not trivial to you, of course, but still... I'm really really sorry."
Zephyr paused and sighed, his hand sliding down the edge of the letter. He knew what Beta was apologizing for and that the next sentence would only serve to further his mixed feelings. Despite this, he continued.
"I hope you can forgive me for loving you, or... Liking you, I guess. I promise I won't be so intrusive from now on, and I won't fuss over you like a mother hen, like you said. ... But I hope you'll at least give me... Or us, a chance?
I'll see you back at the dorm tonight! Dinner's on me! How does pizza sound?
Sincerely,
Beta! <3"
The fallen closed the note carefully, as if the very touch of his hand would break it, and reached for his lucky pencil. He'd deliver this note himself during science, but he hoped that what he wrote would be well received.
"Dear Beta,
I understand your feelings and I'm glad that you apologized for what you said last night. However, I have apologizing of my own to do and I would love to talk to you more about this over pizza tonight. Try not to worry about this until then, okay?
Love,
Zephyr~"

Shepherd stared blankly at the note they'd found crammed into the side pocket of their rucksack. It was bright pink, reeked of something sweet, and... Looked as though it had been through an entire cafeteria line's worth of food splatter. This made the handwriting difficult to read, espescially since their eyes were watering from the smell. However, once they figured it out, it was more than worth the read.
"Dear Nice Baphomet guy,
Thank you for helping me find my lost plushie yesterday! Mr. Sprinkles was super duper lonely without me! I sent this note with my big brother who said he knew you, so I hope you got it! You are very nice and I like you lots! Thank you very very much!
Lots of love,
Melanie!!!
P.S. Also, my big brother says he likes you! Don't tell him I said so, though! It was Mr. Sprinkles' idea!"
The Baphomet nearly doubled over with laughter as they came upon the the last line and squinted through the smudges. Oh, her big brother liked them, huh? They stifled a snort and grabbed a pen.
"Dear Melanie,
I'm glad you and Mr. Sprinkles are happy to be back together again! You have very nice hand writing by the way, but please try not to eat when you write next time so you don't get smudges all over the place, okay? It's very hard to read through all these chocolate stains!
Also, tell your big brother that he can meet me in the cafeteria tomorrow after classes! I'd like to talk to him!
Your friend,
Shepherd"

Gwen pondered opening the letter as soon as she'd found it, but decided that it was better to leave it until she was safely back in their dorm and in a more private setting. She skipped going to get her usual snack with classmates and opted for the fastest route back to her room, before slipping inside and locking the door. From there, she made herself a cocoon of blankets, shimmied against the backboard, and tore open the letter.
"Gwen-Gwen,
I hope you don't mind me being a little late with this letter! I got tied up with work again, no surprise, eh? Uh, anyway, ... How are things going for you in Arkham? I went to Eldritch so I wouldn't know how they do things there, if they do things differently at all. Are classes alright? Any new friends?
... I just want you to know, I understand why you aren't writing back. Me leaving you alone there wasn't very thoughtful of me, Gwen. But please, don't forget that I love you and I will always love you. You're my baby sister, and I never meant to leave ill feelings between us. This is why I still send letters along with your friends, so I can tell you that I still care about you. You're always going to be my first priority, which is why I got this job, even if it takes me far away from you. I'm still here, just like mom always said."
"Even if you can't see me, I'm always right by your side." Gwen muttered, curling further into the blankets as she read.
"Please, send me a small note, anything will do. I really want to know if you're okay, Gwen. I promise that I'll find the time to come see you soon, don't you worry.
Love you forever, like you for always!
Your big brother, Alexander"
Gwen lowered the letter slowly and watched it slip off the bed from behind her glassy eyes. She was still resentful of her brother graduating and moving away in such a short time, leaving her here without a family to cling to. But, if Alex was that worried about her, she couldn't let him be as miserable as she was. Shakily, she began to write a reply.
"Alexander,
I'm doing alright. Classes are good, but tough. No new friends, just the same old ones who never change. I like it that way, though. Things that stay the same are really nice.
I miss you and I hope you can find the time to visit me soon. I know work is tough and you need to pay for a lot of things, so it doesn't need to be right now. Please feel free to surprise me, though! I wouldn't mind that.
Love you forever, like you for always.
Your baby sister, Gwenytth."

Kaleo wasn't sure what to do with the note that he found, no matter how many times he turned it around. It was slipped into the folder for his science class, almost like it was intended to be a bookmark for something important. However, when he opened the envelope and flattened the letter out, all that seemed to be there were scribbles and faces. What did it mean? Was it a map of some sort? Maybe one that lead to treasure? He paused each time he turned the page around and mercilessly scanned it for clues, as if he stared at it enough it would begin to make sense.
Then, he had the bright idea to flip the page over, and found the actual letter scribbled on the back. Well, at least now he'd have some idea about what the other side meant!
"Dear Kaleo,
You are the wind in my sails and the sun on my sands. You are the roses in the fields and the-"
"Socks on my feet? Kudos for creativity!" Kaleo chimed, giggling.
"Because of this, I hope you'll accept my invitation to a tea party this Saturday afternoon. The directions to the room it's being held in are included below so you don't get lost! Just make sure you should wear your finest clothes and bring your favorite tea, if you have one! We can brew a bunch of tea to share! Does that sound like fun?
Please let me know at your soonest convenience! Ta-ta for now!
Sweetly yours,
The purple imp that knows the answers to all the Science homework you haven't done yet!"
"Oh no! They know all the answers? I can't say no to that!" He laughed, waving the letter about. "But... A tea party does sound nice, and I do have the perfect outfit... Why not?"
"Dear Imp friend,
I'll be there, save me a spot! I don't have a favorite tea, so brew me whatever you think is best!
Also, please don't tell Professor Dax that I haven't finished the assignment for this week yet! I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out the answers to numbers one to four, and I really don't want to make a mistake! ... Maybe you could help me figure them out?
Your friend,
Kaleo"

Felix chewed at his pencil idly as he read over the note. He had no idea why this person seemed so intent on writing letters to him, or why they found him attractive at all. Sure, he could acknowledge his good looks, but to go as far as to write them down and send them to people? Nah, he'd never go that far. So, why would this person stoop to something like this?
"Dear Felix,
You are the most gorgeous Baphomet I've ever met! Your hair is like a million blades of shiny grass and your eyes remind me of water! I wish you would tell me how you got so pretty, I'm a little jealous! I wish I could be as pretty as you, Felix!
Please write back soon, okay? I think we're meant to be together! Our kids would look so pretty when we're older, don't you agree? I even drew them for you!"
Oh, Nine. Felix nearly threw up at the sight of the stick figure family scrawled out for him on the torn leaf-lit attached to the note. This was the last straw, no more ignoring and hoping this would go away! He had to do something and he had to do it now!
"Dear whoever you think you are,
I do not appreciate your advances and, quite frankly, I never will. Please stop writing to me this instant and cease all hope of having children with me in the future. That will never happen, you're delusional, and you should seek the help of one of the school counselors immediately. You're scaring the heck out of me.
Sincerely,
Felix"

Aliyah had forgotten all about the mysterious letter until she'd long since settled back in her dorm. Luckily for her, her roommate had her headphones plugged in and couldn't hear the rampant giggling coming from Aliyah's room once she'd pried the letter open. Honestly, she was glad she'd waited this long to read it, now she could have a proper reaction!
"Aliyah-Bo-Beeya,
This may be super weird, but do you wanna go on a date on Sunday? I know this awesome place and I could totally get us a table. It has your favorite soup noodles! (and my favorite kind of boba tea, too!) But, like, if you didn't want to make it a date, I totally understand. I just think you're super cute, okay? Please don't be grossed out!
Love you, girl!
- Ita"
Now, Aliyah had always known that Ita had a bit of a crush on her, but never seemed to be open about it. The Imp set the note aside and slipped out of her room, before wrapping her arms around her roommate's shoulders from behind.
"I got your letter! It's totally a date!" She exclaimed, nuzzling into the fluff that was Ita's hair. "And if you think I'm cute, then you're the most precious thing this side of adorable town!"

Roslyn couldn't believe their eyes when they pulled the note from their purple sequined pouch bag. How, in the name of Nine, did someone sneak this into their bag with them noticing? This was grounds for a thorough investigation! Snooping through another student's belongings had to be a crime, at least a minor one, right? Oh, where was Ava when they needed her? This was an outrage!
The Geist folded their arms and let out a huff, before turning to look at the letter. On one hand, it was evidence that they needed to keep intact just in case any of their things were missing and they needed to have proof that it might've been stolen. However, on the other hand, it was a gorgeous sparkling envelope that was just begging to be opened! It wasn't long before they gave in and dumped out the contents of the envelope. There were some heart-shaped stickers included with the letter, but nothing else too interesting.
"Well, this is obviously a love letter... But from who?" They muttered, peering over the lavender parchment with scrutiny.
"Dear Roslyn,
My name is Amelia and I sit behind you in class every day. I really like your bag and how much you like sparkly things. You and I both have a taste for sequins, it seems, so... I hope you like the stickers I got you! They're little hearts that you can put anywhere you like, even on your face! I have the teal and green version and I wear them on my cheeks sometimes. I think it makes me look cute!
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I think you're really smart and pretty, and that maybe we can go shopping for sparkly things together sometime! There's a store in town with lots of new sequin stuff for sale and I think you'd look really cute in one of the dresses they have in the window! Please let me know, okay?
Your friend,
Amelia! xoxoxo <3333!"
Amelia? Wasn't that the Chimera girl with the blonde ringlets and sequin hair bows? Roslyn was so jealous of those bows! ... It couldn't hurt to let a little space invasion go for the sake of gaining a new fashion friend, right? They paused, glanced back and forth, and grabbed a pen from their bag.
"Dear Amelia,
I would love to go shopping with you! I have always admired your outfits and I would love to know where you got those super cute bows! You have great taste!
However, not to be rude but just for future reference, would you mind coming and talking to me in person instead of leaving a note in my bag? This bag is very special to me and I don't like the idea of people touching it without my permission! (Not that you'd take anything from it, I'm not saying that! I'd just like people to ask me before they touch my stuff)
