A letter. Another. Is that all?

by your local faceless scutoid studios — don't click or like die or something

The M.E.G. team Postal Delivery arrives once again. Another letter!

Ah, I wonder who that is…

Click the envelope to open it

My dearest, Sarah,

I'm still waiting for you here in Level 267. Why don't I take the time today to tell you a little more about the place, eh? Well — back in 2020… or, I suppose, my clock radio's 2020 — never can tell the time in here! Strange how the time flows differently on the different levels. Oh, right, as I was saying, back in 2020 I discovered this place. An island untouched, it seemed. A home for us. I knew it when I saw it.

4/2/20 - the lake!! miss u

The beauty of this place, though incomplete without you, nearly brought me to tears. My love for you motivated my exploration, and so I discovered many new things.

The mountains' height makes me miss you more. When we separated for the first time, I had no idea what to do with myself. But when I found this place, I finally had a direction in life. Others came, too! Now we have communities here, and we can be together again maybe? Come find me here. I know this realm breaks people apart, but we're stronger!!!

8/2/20 - still here, sunny day

The landscape is beautiful — it's a massive island with rivers running right through it and pooling into lakes. Everything is green here! Well, other than the dirt. And the tree trunks, I guess. The sun comes out on some days, and the water goes blue. Blue makes me think of you.

The flora and fauna of the level shouldn't go without mention either, they are a wonder! Why don't I give you some examples?

animal example:
ANTLERDOGS!!

Here is an example of an animal that would make a great pet! They're labrador-sized puppies twice the size of full-grown labradors, but with ADORABLE little antlers!! I don't have any photos, though. I hope you don't mind, I don't have much film. We should have one of our own. Y'know, once you come back :D

plant example:
BLUE BLOSSOM!!

Hmm. I don't really know what to call this one, but it sure is a blossom and it sure is blue… I'm sure you get the thought process, right Sarah? These remind me of you, and they're everywhere!

I should probably tell you about the outpost, huh… well, some MEGgies did end up here about 2 months into my own habitation of this place. I was so glad to see them, because I knew they'd let me send you letters! I don't have anyone else to talk to, you know… the MEGgies aren't much for chat. They do give me food other than what the land provides me, which is useful considering I'm actually kind of allergic to most of the stuff here. I managed, it wasn't like I went into shock or anything, but my lips would swell up and stuff. Wouldn't reccomend recommend, haha!

There's another small community, I think. I've never met them, but there are some signs of other people here. It's useful for me I suppose, that these exist — some of the work of making this place easy to live in was done for me! Trees cut to make clearings, even one dam was built by people here before. I wonder where they went.

I like that we'd be alone if we were here!

Swim into a lake on Level 10, and try digging into the bed at the bottom.

That's how I got here. You won't drown. Come find me.

~ Daron!

You discard the letter, like the fifteen others this man has sent you in the last 3 years. You barely remember seeing him in person, you only ever saw him once at some M.E.G. training thing.

…does the M.E.G. do restraining orders?
