Quote: Prompt 9 (Mysterious Mail): The mail is always bad this time of year, but it seems like something's gone a little extra wrong. You’ve received something that’s not quite right. Maybe it’s a box that looks like it’s from a completely different era, wrapped in brown paper and tied with dark twine. The box has scuffs and scrapes and a yellowed name tag--with your name and address on it. There is no return address and no indication where it came from. If you open it up you will find some sort of timeless item that feels as though it is easily decades old. It may not be particularly valuable, but this item seems to have been lost to time--and somehow ended up in your possession. Any time you look at it you are filled with the same sensation of timelessness. Maybe it’s an old letter with no return address, no name on it; it's impossible to tell who it is from or how it got there, given that it might have arrived in your mailbox, your front door, or maybe it even just showed up inside your house. If you open it, the letter is dated from decades ago and contains some surprising information; it is a letter lost to time and contains some secret. The content of the letter is up to the player; it might contain a confession of love, an admission of guilt, the secret of some crime--no matter what the letter contains, it leaves you with news to reflect on. Do you try to seek out anyone mentioned in the letter? Do you investigate or try to hand the letter over to someone else? Does the content of the letter reflect your life in some way? ...Do you have to worry about someone breaking into your house to leave strangely coded messages? Maybe you’ve gotten both and really need to phone up the post office to see what’s going on.

Vela had a really weird package that had shown up at her apartment and she was so confused, so she decided to take it out with her as Vela on her patrol, she was thinking of taking it back to the post office to drop it off. She didn't really care if anyone thought her outfit was weird a lot of weird people lived in Desity City. She was kind of worried about the paper getting ruined as she moved but there wasn't much she could do about that anyways as she walked along towards the post office. She was glad her senshi outfit helped to keep her warm as she snow was still around on the ground.

She always received a ton of mail this time of year. Since she had family all over the globe ranging from a few towns away to continents away. She looked forward to receiving cards, letters, and packages from her loved ones and was always grateful for their support. She loved to catch up on news and stories from her family and friends and felt especially thankful for the extra time she had to talk to them.
The only thing was that she looked through the letters and packages. She saw an odd one with a scuffed box with scrapes and a yellowed name tag. The tag said her name on it, but it had no return sender. After being a Senshi for some time she knew this was odd. So she quickly placed the box down. She grabbed the other boxes and letters and placed them on the table. She needed to find out who sent this one immediately, and then once she did she could figure out who sent this one.
With that in mind she quickly grabbed the ratty package and headed out the door. Before she left she quickly transformed into her Senshi form Ascella. Also, she threw her violin on her back so no one would think anything of her outfit during winter. "Well here goes nothing. I hope I can get some answers," she said as she headed towards the post office.

Vela didn't really care what anyone thought of her senshi outfit Desitny City was strange enough that it really didn't matter what anyone wore. She was heading to the post office as well and she got in line to try to figure out what the deal was with this strange package. She didn't understand why it had been left at her apartment but she was determined to find out. She quickly got in line and waited with the weird package under her arm.

Ascella arrived at the post office pretty quickly. She was surprised but then again this was a first for her walking to the post office. Normally she would ask others to do it, but this seems suspicious to be just a normal package. At least that's what she thought. Ascella's suspicion grew as she noticed the lack of return address and the package's unexpected appearance.
As she joined the line she noticed what she sensed to be another senshi. She got right behind them and saw they had a package too. "Excuse me. Did you also get a strange package?" she questioned politely.

Vela turned to the sound of the voice and then she said "Yea you did too?" She asked looking at what the other figure had as well. She frowned and then said "What is this some kind of weird joke or a scam?" She pondered out loud. She was klnd of worried now that there was a horse head in her box or something. Nah if that were the case it would be leaking blood right? No way would it be this clean and yet be old. It couldn't just be lost mail or maybe it could for someone who lived in her apartment long before she did. Problem with that would be was her building old enough for that and she didn't think that was the case either. "Well it dosen't matter I don't want to keep it so I'm going to leave it here and let someone else deal with this thing. The weird tapistry I saw this week was weird enough." She said shaking her head. "I don't need a weird package from another era in my apartment."

Ascella spoke, "Ya me too. Honestly I'm more concerned that this package may be from the other side. It just seems suspicious to me." This package was way too suspicious. How did it look that intact for being that old? Ascella couldn't help but wonder if the package's pristine appearance was a deliberate attempt to deceive. It raised questions about its true contents and the intentions of the sender, making her even more cautious about accepting it. Plus she had heard of chaos doing some crazy things. Sending things to suspected order members' homes did not seem that far-fetched.
She quickly shook her head and held the package even tighter. "I agree, I do not want this thing anywhere near me. I think leaving it here seems like a very logical option. Since my house does not need anything strange either." As soon as she finished speaking she saw some tellers open up and realized it was finally their turns in line. She truly hoped the office would just take it back - no questions asked. Since she wanted this thing gone. So she could go back to opening her cards and packages from her relatives.

Vela frowned "Otherside? What you think it's a ghost package? Is that even a thing? How would that work since we are able to hold it?" She asked the questions quickly. Vela gave her package to the teller and was met with a strange frown. They asked her why she was bring this in and Vela shoved the package to them. "It's not mine and I don't want it, so you take it." She said firmly. They sighed and put the package off to the side. Vela wanted nothing to do with the thing. She moved to the side and waited for the other person to do the same. She figured they could talk a bit before she headed back to her place, or just say goodbye before they parted.

Ascella heard their confusion and wondered if maybe she had spoken wrongly. She never knew if it was okay to say chaos or negaverse around non-magical people. So she decided just to wing it and go with their assumption.
"Well you never know. I've seen some weird things happen around here," she said as she quickly ran up to the teller. Which was true. One thing she had learned as a senshi was that anything could happen here. More literally than she ever thought possible.
"I'd like to drop this off please. I think it was a mistake. Thank you," she said as she quickly passed the strange package to the teller. Once the teller had the package steady, she watched them place it in a pile and told her to have a nice day.
With that she moved over to where the person she was speaking to was. "Well good thing those are gone. I really did not want to risk opening it. Oh and I'm Ascella by the way. Pleasure to meet you," she said extending her hand towards the person.

Vela nodded and smiled at the other person and then said "Nice to meet you Ascella, I'm Vela." She paused and then shivered "Yea I don't want to think on what might be in that package and I don't want to open it to find out, it might be kool or it might be a head I don't want to take the chance or maybe it was monster ginger bread cookies who knows." She said with a shrug. She looked out from where they were and then said "Well I guess I better get back to my apartment it was nice meeting you and perhaps we will run in to each other another time without creepy old packages."

"Vela that is such a pretty name. It's nice to meet you as well," she said kindly before nodding.
"Yeah I think I'm good with the post office having that unopenned box too. While part of me is curious, the other part knows it probably just trouble." Even the thought of what could be in that box made her shiver. All she wanted right now was the pretty gifts or giftcards that her family should be sending her. Not heads never heads.
She had to shake her head for a moment at just the thought of pulling a head from the box. She didn't like it. As she heard Vela mentioning heading home. She realized that might be a good idea, after all she had a lot of non-creepy letters and packages to open.
"Same and I hope we can meet up again. It was a pleasure getting to know you even in this weird situation," she said with a smile as she waved and began heading home. "Until next time!" and with those words she headed off.
