Get a Message to the Dog Keeper

It is entirely possible to send messages to the Dog Keeper! While the Dog Keeper seems capable of sending text messages to characters, it does not seem like characters can find anywhere to contact the Dog Keeper directly through the phones. How strange! Oh well. Guess you'll just have to send the Dog Keeper a letter the old fashioned way!

Characters will have to write up a letter and put it in an envelope with "TO THE DOG KEEPER" written where a typical address would be printed. It doesn't seem like a return address is required! Characters will then leave their letters in their mail boxes (apartments and dorms have mailboxes in the lobbies that match to room numbers). They may also send the Dog Keeper items of any shape or size. To do this, if it doesn't fit in the mail box, simply set it by the mailbox. Seems like the Delivery Dogs know what to do! No item is too big or small- and the greatest part?

It doesn't look like there's any charge on postal!

To contact the Dog Keeper leave a comment below and the Dog Keeper will respond eventually. Maybe.

The Dog Keeper sends back letters- but they're all typed up. And of course- don't always expect helpful answers. Or any answers at all.

Get a Message to Someone Else!

While you wouldn't technically use this page to send a character letters/packages, you can assume that characters would be able to use the Delivery Dogs for similar functions with each other as well as the Dog Keeper.

Meaning if your characters makes up a package/letter that they want to send to another character, you would execute this by having the character write up an address like they would in the real world on the package or letter and then put it in their mail box with the flag up (apartments and dorms have mailboxes in the lobbies that match to room numbers). For objects bigger than the mailbox, they only have to set it down near the mail box and flip up the flag (if there is a flag to be flipped)! All deliveries are made within a day.

To execute this ICly, you would just proceed with usual inbox interactions as always.

This is just an assumed background action among characters. You do not need to make requests/make it known on this page that you are using the delivery dogs for this purpose.

Get a Message to Another NPC!

Currently it is not possible to send letters/items to other NPCs other than the Dog Keeper. This may change in the future.

If a character attempts to do so, they will find whatever item or letter they have sent in the mail box the following day....

....Only it'll look strangely as if it's aged several hundred years in one sitting.

How odd.

To Sodder

[sinnabon]

Dear J. Sodder,

Here's some puzzles for you. I hope you have fun with them!

- Jack

PS: Thanks for the lion cub guide. I named him Raja, we've been going on adventures together :)

[ along with the note will be two puzzle games, one a sack full of wire puzzles and the other a 3D maze. have fun, sodder! ]

To Jack, Much Later

(It takes quite some time before Sodder responds, but when she does, she does accidentally go a little overboard. Jack will find a simple red string leading to his bedroom, and upon entering, he will discover a whole lot of red string hanging from his ceiling in the corner.

Like a whole lot. Only upon further inspection one would be able to identify numerous string figures throughout. Not only that, but when someone finally looks at them, the numerous string figures will begin to pull themselves apart and arrange themselves appropriately.

Sodder is doing simple string tricks for Jack. Once the tricks have been performed, of which there are dozens, the strings will eventually fall away to the floor.

Hanging from the very middle is an odd looking Red Queen of Diamonds playing card on which a small note is written on the back:

Thank you for the puzzles! Some were really hard! But it was nice to focus on something fresh and new for once.

Red is the best color dont you think? Ramona taught me a LOT of these strong tricks. Arent they neat?

P.S. I am glad you have a companion. Animals have always helped me too. )

so so late fffff i'm sorry

[ when jack gets home and finds the present sodder left, he's overjoyed, watching the string tricks in enthralled fascination, and when they fall, taking the playing card in careful hands, reading the note before carefully placing the card on the shelf above his bed, close to the flower crown she left him before that hangs there too.

before writing her back, he goes around picking up the strings and attaching them back to the ceiling with nails, tacks, staples, tape, anything he can find. he likes having them there and he'll want to try out those string tricks himself. after that, he'll sit down and start to scrawl out a message to leave in his basket for her. ]

Dear J,

I'm glad you liked them! Your string tricks were wonderful! I hung them back up on my ceiling so I can try to figure out how to do it too. I'm not very good with small things like that, so it'll be fun to practice.

I like red. I like blue and gold too. You must miss Ramona a lot, you talk about her often. What was she like?

P.S. I never had animal friends before this, but I always wanted one. Thank you!!
