Attached with the letter are two gummy worms fused together in a heart.

Hey dummy,

I had that little chat with Caly you told me not to have. She says she still likes you, so I think you've got another shot. Don't screw it up this time, Assborn.

(the letter arrives with a stain on the top right corner in the vague shape of a frog, and then a few stained smears along the top header. The very bottom text is written off to the side with a long arrow drawn to these stains)

You are literally, THE worst!!!!

!!!!!!

But, also the BEST.

Thanks Flo-Ro.


MOTHERFUCKING FROG ATE MY GUMMYWORMS D:

What kind of dragoon can't even protect his letters from AMPHIBIANS??? or perhaps more importantly, are you living in a swamp?? why are you even around frogs while opening your mail???

He was just a cute lil' guy, so he was my friend, until he betrayed me in the worst way. I named him Rupert.

I was laying in a field when the letter came! Y'know, touching grass, it's good for you. Not exactly swampy in King's End, but still plenty of froggies. I like all the lightning bugs here.

IS it good to touch grass? Because it sounds like you made a friend, were immediately betrayed by said friend, lost out on gummy worms, and now probably have grass everywhere. hopefully Rupert enjoyed the sugar high. none of the other frogs are ever going to believe him that he ate a worm that tasted sweet.

idk that I've really seen lightning bugs. We had will o' wisps in the Greatwood which I guess is kind the same if you ignore the occasionally leading you into danger part.

Maybe worms do taste sweet, have you ever tried one?



(there's a smear of dirt on the page)
THEY ARE NOT SWEET.

The more I learn about the Greatwood the more NOPE I feel. See, lightning bugs don't do that, they just float around blinking. It is pretty funny when a frog eats them though because then their belly lights up. Although they usually die, since the bugs are toxic...... so I guess not that funny now that I think about it.

thank the gods I have you so that I didn't need to eat one myself to find out. [insert eye roll emoji drawing here]


oh right, the Greatwood is too spooky, and yet you're casually describing a DOUBLE MURDER like it's nothing??

(attached is a small vial with 3 fireflies in it. Instead of a stopper the top has a cloth that has been taped around the glass edge a zillion times to keep it on)

I know, right? You're blessed.

I dunno, is it murder if it's nature? If so, I must be the apex predator of gummy worms and I'm gonna murder the next bag I see.

the vial is returned filled with sand and seawater, taped to a bag of gummy words with a big X over the name Rupert.
