Demonic Postal Service
Part A: Setting It All Up
Part B: Letters Between Kianne and Konrad
History of the Demonic Postal Service
Channard...a terror among the cenobites...an abyssal shapeshifter of frightening powers...now reduced to a mailman. Konrad's whims were, indeed, strange. But if all were to be believed, then this woman...this Kianne...his mother...was indeed a dangerous individual. And so Channard was very careful in arranging the delivery of his associate's mail.Channard arranged no less than five hurdles between himself and Kianne in the passing of mail to Konrad. And of those five steps, only one knew his role in it all.
Laird, the Falconer, set up the actual location...a spot not too far from Ygg...an adjacent shadow called Toolitus, technological in nature...that featured one of the most dizzyingly complex bureaucratic systems he had ever seen. The order of it astounded him. There he procured a simple post office box at Central Message Center #345398C.534, and arranged things such that his falcons would deliver messages there and pick up messages. The head clerk was a little annoyed at having to deal with the falcons, but that was all part of her job.
Laird was informed about the danger and was instructed to take the following measures. Every falcon that returned from Toolitus it dropped its message into a special box, and then Laird destroyed the beast. He himself never touched the messages that arrived from Toolitus, rather he closed the box and delivered it to Lucretius.
Lucretius was a rare commodity in the Labyrinth...he was scribe who could not read. His task was to transcribe the message onto a fresh page. He had been given special instructions not to touch the page himself...and had been told to only attempt transcription under the presence of a watcher, who went by the name of Woland. Woland's only role in this was to sound the alarm should something strange happen.
After transcribing the message, Lucretius delivered the new document to a type of postal box within the Labyrinth. With that, his duty was done.
Koines is the only who knows of Channard's role in things, and it was he who arrnanged the whole process (following Channard's orders, and doing it in such a way that none of the others knew of his role). His task was simple enough, to pick up the mail from the postal box in the Labyrinth and deliver it to Channard, who would then wait until Konrad came calling.
That, anyway, was how it was all set up to work.
The Exchanges
Sorry...no mail yet. When I have the first responses, I'll put the text of the letters on this page, so that we can all enjoy the correspondence between Konrad and Kianne.
