[ethos-archival-mailbox]

hey. hey my guy. my dude. What the hell are you and Joel doing

just having a conversation, just a chat between two boat boys

[his ears are not slightly pinker than usual, no, you are imagining that, for sure]

[docs-mailbox]

[the handwriting is very neat]

hello there,

this may be a stretch, but based on what little I've heard, you are good with machines, yes? I may need some help... though I would like confirmation that you know what your doing first.

sincerely,

The Rose Witch, aka Speak No Evil

p.s. please don't tell Deamon I used the mailbox, I'll never hear the end of it from her since I said not to mess with these...

I’m well versed in redstone mechanics, but it all depends on what you’re looking for.

If you are looking for someone to make you something that breaks reality— eg. sending you to the farlands, generating spawners, bringing the dragon to the Overworld, or duplicating sand and string en masse, I’m your guy. That is my favorite thing to do, and I would love to help.

If you are looking for someone to help you optimize and automate your machines, I’m your guy. I have the knowledge of the Hivemind at my disposal, and I’m certain our efforts can assist you.

If you are looking for someone to cause chaos, I might be your guy. It all depends on how mighty the chaos you want to cause is. But there are other redstone engineers as well, if you’re looking for something else.

@cubs-mailbox is all round just a talented individual. He’s good at just about everything, if you want something that doesn’t really “fit” into anyone’s speciality, I bet Cub could figure it out.

@ethos-mailbox is a true innovator, he coined a lot of contraptions that we all use to this day. He also made Ravager Rush, which has become something of a craze on this server. Talented lad.

@impulses-mailbox makes great farms. You need a farm? Consider Impulse.

Everyone knows @mumbos-mailbox is a prodigy. He’s not just the doors guy, he’s made some stylish contraptions of big and small scale.

@tangos-mailbox is brilliant. He’s amazing at making minigames. Decked Out and its sequel were fantastic, and Hungry Hermits is just a work of technical genius. Did I mention he came up with all these by himself? I don’t know how he does it.

With all that considered, I hope you find someone who can do what you’re looking to do. I know this sort of turned into a rec letter, but believe me, if there’s automation to be done or if there’s world-bending activities taking place, you have got to count me in.

P.S.: I won’t tell Deamon.

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

Hi Etho! Hope all is well with you. Finally got this thing up and running, so I got you some maple cream cookies. You know, the ones shaped like maple leaves that you love so much! Hope you like them.

[etho responds with a book & quill, maple scented crumbs between the pages, almost as though he decided he couldn't wait to write back or to eat the cookies]

bigb (@bigbs-mailbox)-

glad you got it working! wish I coulda been more help, but I'm still not sure what world you're in, I'm just impressed the instructions made it to you, to be honest

thank you for the cookies, they were very tasty! ^_^

Are you sure about that one

Are you SURE. It feels an awful like like barely disguised flirting

You guys are close enough to kiss, people don’t have normal conversations that close usually

yeah, well, apparently I haven't been keeping him close enough, 'cause now he's out there getting me involved in legal battles with bdubs

[he anxiously rakes a hand through his hair]

okay, who can I ask for help, who would know what to do here...

aha! I know! I'll go ask cleo what to do, they'll know what to do

[he tucks away the notes again, instead grabbing a book and quill to hastily scribble a note and package it up]

[as he presses the button and the shulker box drops into the mail network, off to cleo's, he takes a deep breath]

okay, okay, that should get there before I do...

[he turns and heads out the door, swapping his rockets back into his hand]

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

“ETHO! What’s this I hear about you being Joel’s lawyer!”

- @bdubs-mailbox

[etho retrieves the second message from his mailbox, immediately recognizing bdubs' handwriting and groaning]

[he quickly reads the message, noticing how hard the letter were written on the paper, and sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose]

[after a moment, he brings joel's note back out as well & stares at both of them, mumbling to himself]

I really don't want to be a part of this, I really don't...

maybe I can fake my death and change my name and go live with doc...

no, no that wouldn't work, there wouldn't be a death message... and doc might still be living in skyblock...

okay, so, I stash my good gear and set my spawn on skyblock and then kill myself in a totally cool way somewhere somebody'll find my dropped items before they despawn, just as extra proof, and there'll be a death message and I'll respawn on skyblock and just live there forever and no one will find me 'cause doc'll never give me up and I won't have to go to court with joel and bdubs and everything'll be hunky dory! yeah!

[he looks between the two notes, processing his plan, and sighs heavily, shoulders dropping]

I, uh, I might need some help with this...

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

Eefo, I’ve got a bit of a problem. I need you to be my lawyer, I’ll owe you big time! If Bdubs asks you, you’ve already agreed to be mine, so you can’t be his

- @joels-mailbox

[he pulls out the shulker and pops it open, grabbing the note before tossing the box in the appropriate chest]

[reading through this message, his visible face goes on a whole emotional journey, occasionally mumbling out a few of the words as he reads them]

[staring at the note he thinks outloud] ohnononono I do not like this, oh I definitely do not like this....

[as he's tucking the note in his inventory, the mailbox's light turns on again] ooooh boy....

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

[etho finishes sorting his inventory out to go check on bdubs, but as he's about to leave through his front door, the light in his mailbox turns on]

[he stares at it for a moment before deciding he better check it, it might be about someone needing help with the mailbox updates]

[tucking his rockets back in his inventory, he opens the barrel to find a white post office shulker box]

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

it's actually been a bit since I updated bdubs' mailbox, he's probably finished renovating and switched it back on by now

I should check up on him...
