A Formal Request of Records
Posted: Sun Apr 21, 2013 3:06 pm
All three letters might have arrived the same day, one for GOVERNOR GLENN BURNIE, one for COUNSILWOMAN AGNISKA KAZMERRIK, and the final for MARSHALL ARIANE EMORY. The parchment was of Darkenhold stock, faintly yellowed but perfectly cut.
Each folded letter was sealed with a dollop of depressed red wax. The uneven wax had been stamped by way of poorly-carved wooden ring, a thing whose pattern had been etched by a very careful sewing-needle in the likeness of a disproportionate bird with a sloppy 'D' across it. If, of course, examining it so closely was even possible given the writer's lack of mastery for formal letters.
Scribbled on Ariane's letter, an additional post-script:
