The heist was a success. The three Vermeers were stolen and then passed off to their fence who handled the deal from there on out. A few days pass, and then there is money in their hands. This was easy. Child's play. Whether or not they were challenged enough is not an issue. The fact is they succeeded, they got their money. Isn't that all that matters? For some, maybe.

 It is Wednesday, February 13th now. The week seems slow compared to the rush of the weekend. On a table in the dining room in HQ sits a letter. No one is watching it. It seems forgotten, as if it belongs to no one. 

 This is what is on the paper: 

To the RAT

It changes everything.

Hi everyone! We just wanted to say thank you for all the kind words that have been directed towards us. We do appreciate each and every message so, so much. We also wanted to say that ( drumroll please ) our sample application is finally done! Admin Bex apologizes for getting it up a little bit later than intended, but you can all find and read it here!

First of all, we’re incredibly sorry about the delay in posting this. The applications have been long, and absolutely wonderful. But we have made our decisions, and I am pleased to an announce that acceptances will begin posting in an hour, and they will go in the order of our masterlist. Thank you very much for your patience, we greatly appreciate it!

Hi, everyone! We’ve got an exciting announcement to make. After much consideration, we’ve decided to close the submit box on midnight of Tuesday, February 5th (so you have until 11:59 PM EST that day to send in your app) and post acceptances the following day, on Wednesday, February 6th.

As for how acceptances will work, we’ll be posting individual acceptance notes in order of the masterlist. To aid your app writing process, the lovely Admin Bex is working on a sample app that will be released soon, so we’ll make another announcement once it’s up. Happy writing!

And the announcements keep coming! We’ve received a ton of lovely anons over the past couple of days and thus prepared a special treat for you. In order to give your muse a boost and share some more of the world we’ve built, we bring you our locations page! Enjoy!

At last, it’s time! As per our last announcement, acceptances will begin posting shortly. Once again, an immense thank you to everyone who applied. You’ve all filled us with an incredible amount of joy at your love for the world we’ve created, and for that we couldn’t be more thankful. Your support has kept us going throughout the reading and the stress of making these tough calls, with smiles on our faces. You’ve all been so kind to us, and there’s no doubt in our minds that all of you are absolutely wonderful people.

If you weren’t accepted, please know that these were not easy decisions to make, but rather harder than we thought they’d ever be. You’ve all created wonderful characters and it pains us to be unable to have them all join the group. Remember that if you want feedback about why you weren’t accepted, you can always come to us off anon and we’d be more than happy to share our thoughts with you and tell you about the factors in our decisions.

Once again, thank you all for everything! Acceptances will begin posting now.

Hi everyone! This is a little earlier than I intended to post this, but I don’t see much point in keeping the poll open any longer. After 60 votes ( wow! ), the poll was nearly a tie. With that being the case, neither J or I are quite comfortable moving the submit date sooner with so many people wanting those extra days. We hope this doesn’t dampen the excitement of anyone who was hoping that acceptances would be sooner. We promise that we are both still so excited and we have plenty of tricks up our sleeve ... so stay tuned!

Hello! We just wanted to post a reminder to vote in our poll regarding acceptances if you haven’t already! You can find it here!
