[It was a day like any other, the Ocean Queen on her daily walk within her Empire. She was doing a rather large variety of tasks, from visiting the market to simply saying hello to her dear axolotls. It had been a slow day, allowing Lizzie to take her time and relax.]

[All of this was true, of course, until the sound of rockets whoosing through the air caused her fins to perk up. It appears she had a visitor. She paused in her observation of the seaweed swaying beneath the water, and turned her head skyward. She watched as the person landed on the dock beside her, the wings of their elytra tucking into itself.]

[She offered a warm smile, clasping her hands together in front of her. She took a few steps forward, coming up into a speaking position.]

"Ah, hello! Ocean's blessings."

[She gave a slight bow, soon lifting her head up once more to look directly at the visitor.]

"Is there something you need?"

[Mira fizzled into existence behind Lizzie. Her form was still glitchy and unstable, stars glinting under her skin, and her three sets of bright, feathered wings spread wide.]

[She didn’t say anything, preferring to just watch for now.]

@miras-mailbox

[Lizzie was walking on one of her lilypad islands, specifically the one owning her garden. The vegetation was overgrown and honestly unkempt, but had a certain allure to it in its own way. There were blossoms of color amidst the sea of green, a bush of crimson red azaleas here and a patch of snow white magnolias there, among many others. There was a thin dirt walkway among the foliage, the vines and leaves brushed away to make room. Lizzie herself had little to no botanical knowledge and henceforth had spent little time in the garden, but had felt an urge to clean it a bit after a visit to The Overgrown.]

[Lizzie could feel it immediately. An unsettling presence, dread seeping into her bones the very moment Mira appeared. She could feel the hairs on the back of her neck stand up as her skin prickled with goosebumps, a cold sweat already starting to form upon her brow despite the chilled breeze.]

[She swallowed despite her suddenly dry mouth, her muscles tensing. She did not know what awaited her when she turned around, but she did know that she couldn't simply ignore it. She steeled herself as he slowly started to turn, her gaze dragging behind before locking onto the figure in front of her. A startled gasp escaped her lips as she took in the woman before her, from the three sets of wings to the glint beneath her skin. Her eyes finally stopped on the figure's own, sea blue meeting galactic purple. The former flicked back towards the ground mere moments afterward, suddenly filled with uncertainty.]

[There was an uncomfortable silence, stretched thin between the two and filled only with the sounds of the world, and the faint breathing of both women. Finally, Lizzie slowly took a step forward, the crunch of the dirt under her feet far too loud within the tense atmosphere. She momentarily lifted a pale blue hand, but it soon fell back to her side. Her mouth opened, then closed, then opened again. She took a deep breath, and her gaze returned to Mira's once more.]

"Who..."

[She spoke quietly, her voice far more timid than usual. She paused after that first word, swallowing once again as she placed an open hand on top of her chest.]

"Who are you..?"

Haha, I know I know! Just a bit of harmless teasing, no harm intended :)

OOOO-KAY, NO NEED TO BRING THAT UP. I thought we agreed to keep those rants inside of the tea parties?? :'D But yes, you do have a point. Plus, it's not like he doesn't do the same.

That's true, he would probably be able to deduce what we're plotting. And please, for all our sakes, do not leave this to Oli. He almost told Cleo before I did. Many times.

Hmm... I'm not entirely sure who he's close with, outside of you of course. Possibly Joel? I know they co-parented a kid once, plus the two of you have rarely spoken. Seems worth a shot.

hayyyyyyy random question but- DoYouHappenToKnowSausagesRingSizeNoReasonAtAllImAskingAndCantAskHim-

— @mogs-mailbox

I see, I see! I do not know his ring size unfortunately, but I'll be sure to ask the next time I get the chance!

And I'm happy for you! I mean, we all knew it was gonna happen sooner or later i expected later but I'm happy regardless! I will be coming to the wedding regardless of if I get invited or not, by the way. Love you lots Mog!

You know what it means :) And Mog, my dear Mog, you couldn't be more suspicious right now even if you tried.

Oh, good! I was going to be one way or another, but I'm glad it happened willingly! I will be the best best woman. Watch.

How else are you going to learn what size it is though? It'll be much less suspicious if I ask, after all! It's not as if I'm the one who's been watching him with those lovesick eyes all this time.

what do u think abt the ship ldmumbo? aka u and mumbo :)

[I don't know if this is supposed to be answered IC or OOC, so I'll do ooc. It's interesting, but I haven't really looked into it. I myself don't ship it, but I can see the appeal! I do like them as a duo, however. :] -lou]

oli told me not to ask you about his love life so i'm asking you about his love life

what's up with him and ren and martyn? i'm very confused! help!

[@twhnns-mailbox]

Hello there!! I honestly have no idea. Oli normally tells me about all the drama during our weekly tea party, but he seems very adamant on avoiding this topic. I'll do some super secret research into it though, just for you!

I thought you guys were MARRIED???

Alright! Show of hands, who thought Mog and I were dating?

@mogs-mailbox

OBVIOUSLY! you cannot have tea and gossip time without me it is a crime.

<a very crumpled up talon scratches up letter is droop off by a very funky and scruffy looking older parrot with a little hat matching oli’s before flying off with a squaCk!> Ayo since you forced me of set this up wanna head over to my place and gossip over tea like ✨ladies✨? You can invite that dog lady you fawn over btw isn’t my new parrot adorable? Lizzie said she didn’t know what to do with him so I kept him! I named him Scruffy cus look at him<3!! He’s so cute!- Love your bestie Dragon slayer Bard Oli

@orionsound-mailbox

I think that's how you hold them? You should be fiiine... probably.

Yeah, go ahead and take a seat. I'll be back in a moment with the tea!

[ She gives Mog an encouraging thumbs up before leaving the scene to brew some tea. ]

lizzie!! I'm finally hooked up to the mail system!

Katherine!!! Hello hello, so happy to have you here!

[You find a box with holes poked in it, along with a letter taped to the side. The box has a bit of moss and mud on it, likely from where it came from. You open the letter.] Hello, Lizzie! One of my wolves just had puppies, and I thought you might like one! Name him whatever you want :D Have a nice day! -@shubbles-mailbox 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊

Thank you so much Shubble! He's such a sweet little pup. I've named him Meri!

learned the hard way i cannot swim. got a stamp to tell you this -Torchy🕯⟢ ๋

The ocean isn't for everyone! Stay safe, Torchy :]

Hay Liz??? Your husbands attacking the sheriff again and now jimmys in the fetal position sobbing about being called a toy- just thought you should ya know deal with that-

<he slowly pushed her towards the scene then tip toes away before bolting it and returning with popcorn to watch>

Ah, not again... [She sighs, rolling her eyes at Oli before awkwardly patting Jimmy on the back.]

It's alright...

why would you do this to me oli

Why I adore your hair. Lovely color! Tell me, is there anything you’ve wished to Know? I’ve been positively bored out of my mind with striking deals, so I’ve switched to a more generous approach. Anything you’d like, I can most probably tell you!

- Stardust 💫

( @stardusts-mailbox )

Oh, thank you! Anything I wish to know? Hmm... I can't think of much, so how about you tell me about yourself? It's completely fine if not, however. Thank you for your offer!

[ a rose is left in your mailbox, with a letter attached. all the thorns are left on said rose. ]

i'm very much looking forward to meeting you, miss lizzie~

[She picks up the rose, only to pull her hand back with a quiet hiss. She moves it by the petals, holding it up to her face before putting it off to the side.]

I'm not quite sure who you are, but please be a bit more careful with your flower choices next time. The rose you sent had thorns. Moving on, please just call me Lizzie, I'm not one for formalities.

Dawwwwww, that's sweet of you.

Since you have two hands, one for Lizzie and one for anyone. (etho, or jimmy, etc)

And Lizzie also has two hands, one for you and.. maybe for Cleo..?

Basically the question I'm trying to ask, is, what are your opinions on Shadowrot, Joel??

If it makes Lizzie happy, not really any of business. I like Cleo pretty well when she isn’t burning any of my things down.

The-

I'm sorry, the what?

I'm starting to remember the Xornoth situation....

Hello, Miss Shadowlady. Do you like your EYES? :) - Cain (@eyesremain)

Oh, Hello..? I do indeed like my eyes, thank you. It's...nice to meet you, Cain. [She is not attempting to be rude, she's simply put off by the ominous feeling from the letter.]

he also cried

a lot

jimmy and i are married, by the way. dude could NOT wait to put a ring on it.

GURLS NIGHTTTTTT!!!!!!!

GIRL'S NIGHT!

at the pale garden!

@gtwscars-mailbox @lizzies-mailbox @jimmys-mailbox @sincerely-some-guy

[The letter has two flowers inside of it, both of the same kind. They've got a soft white color to the petals, and the insides are colored a deep yet slightly pale red.] It's alright, it's not like it's your fault! It was someone I know, but it's been...mostly resolved now.

Interesting! I'm honestly picturing them to look something like white Russian petunias, though with different colors. I'll send some over so you can see what they're like!

[There are a line of multiple flowers drawn, almost as a section divider. They've all been colored in the middle, similar to the flowers sent.]

Of course! Maybe you could come over and say hi yourself at some point, if you'd like to of course. You're always welcome within the Ocean Empire!

That's good! It's always nice to go for a swim, even if it's just a quick dip. I agree about being careful about opening your eyes underwater. If the water isn't clean, it could be dangerous. I believe I'm able to due to being an axolotl, though it's obviously different for you. No fish? That's interesting. Perhaps I'll send you one someday, if I can find a proper way to do so. Either way, I'm glad you had fun!

[There are four fishes at the bottom of the page, each labeled fish 1-4 respectfully. It seems she's given fish number one and two some friends.]

Oceans blessings, Lizzie

[ the letter that comes through the mail has a peculiar little red sealing on it. within it, as well, is a pressed flower - it looks odd, mostly grey and white. when he had been sending it, guy had been a little amused with himself - that makes the second eyeblossom he's sent to someone. ]

hello, miss lizzie! i hope you're doing well. i've heard of you before, an empress of the sea - and unfortunately, i don't lie close to the ocean, so i don't have any shells or such to give to you, so i hope this flower will do. it's been pressed so that it will last for longer, and maybe if you find a seal for it, it could be used as a bookmark of sorts?

i know this is supposed to be a formal greeting of sorts (or, at least, i try to make my first mails to people somewhat formal), but it's been a long while since i've been able to see other sorts of biomes, so i wonder - how is the sea? what kinds of creatures are there? do you have a favourite kind?

[ next to this, is a little doodle of a fish. ]

it's been a long time since i went swimming. i hope i can do that again soon... ah, but that's off topic. i'm not quite sure where i was going with this, but overall, i hope you're well. :)

sincerely,

some guy.

@sincerely-some-guy

[She picks at the seal, ripping the envelope slightly as she opens it and the paper flutters out, along with the flower. She blinks, taking the flower into her fingers and twirling it around as she inspected it. She smiled softly, placing it down on the desk next to the letter, which she lifts and starts to read.] Hello, Some Guy. Thank you for the well wishes, I am indeed doing quite nicely. I hope the same applies to you. It's true that I am indeed a ruler of the ocean, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy gifts from the land! This is quite the peculiar flower, I'll have to ask Scott about it sometime. It will make a wonderful bookmark for my journal, thank you for gifting it to me! Don't worry too much about being formal; just be yourself. I prefer to see people as they are. The sea is quite nice! It's a deep turquoise at times, and a light cyan at others. It's quite salty though, so you'll get a lot of salt on the breeze. There are all kinds of creatures here, varying from turtles to dolphins to tropical fish. The most common marine life I see are axolotls, however! I try to care for them all equally, but I must admit that my axolotl guards, Sir Strawberry and Lady Marcellene hold a special place in my heart. [She's doodled a pair of axolotls in return, each labeled as Marcellene and Strawberry.] Swimming is rather refreshing, I must say. I do hope you get the chance to experience it once again. Thank you for the lovely letter, and the beautiful flower. Oceans Blessings, Lizzie

*A package appears in your mailbox, with a letter attached!*

Hey Lizzie! Made you some cookies. They’re shaped like sea creatures and fish and stuff, ‘cause I know you love those things.

Hope you’re well!

-<-❀ BigB

Aww, thank you BigB! These are adorable, I almost feel bad for eating them! Thank you so much, they look so cute, and taste even better!

Hello, Miss Shadowlady. Do you like your EYES? :) - Cain (@eyesremain)
