(I am Hopping in your Asks for the character pen pal game! This letter is from Tooth to Cricket)

Dear Cricket,
Hello, my name is Tooth! In case you wanted to know, I picked out that name myself! I’m 11 years old and I’m 5 feet and 2 inches. I heard you’re 1 foot tall, but I’m finding that really hard to beleive. But I guess I don’t really have room to say that cause I can speak to ghosts. 👻
My school is making us write letters to pen pals and I thought your name sounded interesting because I love bugs! My friends are named Spider, Beetle, and Bee. You could fit right in! My favorite bugs are 🪲 stag beetles, rolly-pollies, and cicadas (I like to scare my brother Morgana with their skins). Here’s a fun fact: some cicadas spend 17 years underground for a huge chunk of their life, which is longer than I’ve been alive! What are your favorite bugs/bug facts? 👀
Do you want to hear about the gang me and my friends made? Too bad! >:p We play with ghosts and sometimes even help them pass on if they’re nice enough to tell us stories. Places like shut down parks, 🏫 schools, or wearhouses are the best place to find ghosts! Personally, if I was a ghost, I wouldn’t want to die somewhere I knew would become empty and boring. Maybe at a 7 11 where everyone goes so that it won’t be hard to find me.
Anyway, I hope you see this letter and I hope I labeled it correctly!
From,
Tooth 🦷
Hi Tooth!
Glad to report that you labeled that letter correctly! Now let’s hope that I did, too. I like your name, too. I didn't get to pick mine, it was just a nickname from my parents that stuck, but I wouldn't pick anything else. I got it because I can imitate a cricket chirp perfectly! Anyway, I’m glad to hear from you! I was afraid I’d get a letter in the program from someone boring who only wants to know why I’m so small and nothing else.
To get that out of the way: yes, I am small! I’m 14 years old and a bit taller than 11 inches. It’s funny what people will believe when it comes to magic and the supernatural. My friend, Auster, runs an apothecary with his family, and they’ll get people calling them snake oil salesmen and calling his magic a hoax—in the cursed town! But I guess it’s different when it’s right in front of you. In fact, I was a bit skeptical when you mentioned ghosts, but then I took a step back and figured that maybe New Royston just doesn’t have a lot of ghosts. Though there have been some spooky things going on, so maybe I just can’t see or hear them. Got any tips?
Anyway! Yes, I love bugs, and I’m so glad to have a pen pal who also likes bugs! I’ve never met a stag beetle, but my friend Monty’s family’s farm raises rolly-pollies! Among other bugs: crickets, dragonflies, and a couple others. I’ve never met a cicada either since the last time our brood emerged was in 1996, so I’ll have to wait a few years yet. I do wish you wouldn’t scare your brother with their skins, since so many people just crush bugs when they see them because they’re scared and so many people think I’m crazy for liking bugs or make faces at me when I try to talk about bugs, but I can understand the temptation. Monty and I scared some people in our elementary school with dragonfly nymphs when we were little. My favorite bug fact is that some ants are farmers. They’ll grow crops of fungus and keep cattle in the form of aphids since they secrete sugar.
I can understand wanting to die somewhere where there’d be a lot of activity. I get pretty lonely with my parents not home a lot, and I wouldn’t want to feel that kind of loneliness forever. Maybe, if I could choose where to die, I’d die at the school, so I could always listen in as generations of students pass through. This school’s been here for hundreds of years, and it’s the only high school in town, so I doubt it’d be abandoned anytime soon. But at the same time, I catch glimpses of those ghost shows with those people walking around screaming “Hello?! Is anyone there?! Show yourself! AAHH DID YOU HEAR THAT?!?!?” and I just feel bad for the ghost. I wouldn’t wanna be annoyed like that all the time. I guess ghosts have it rough no matter which way you spin it!
It’s really nice that you help them pass on. Like I wrote, I don’t think New Royston has a lot of ghosts, but just in case, how do you go about contacting and helping ghosts? Doesn’t it ever get dangerous, like if they’re mad? Also you said you play with ghosts, so what kinds of games can ghosts play? I imagine they’d be way too overpowered in a game like hide and seek. They could just go between two walls and they’d never get found!
Anyway, thanks for writing to me. Hope to read more from you soon!

Have you Been Naughty or Nice?
Swiped from @lil-kissy​
Tumblr media
“Serafina, you’re new here. You should go first!”
Tumblr media
“Okay. Who’s next?”
Tumblr media
“Estrella said we’re going to be going from newest muse to oldest this year.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, that’d be me!”
Tumblr media
There's a reason Santa created a Naughty List. And you're just one of those reasons, Serafina.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Seriously?!”
Tumblr media
“This thing isn’t always right. It put Ghost on the naughty list for slacking off at work last year... And it doesn’t have a job.”
Tumblr media
Annabelle, you must have been EXTRA nice this year. Santa has a smiley face next to your name on the Nice List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Hooray! I want a doll.”
Tumblr media
Way to help that old lady, Valeriya. Santa will certainly add you to the Nice List this year. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I must say, Ekaterina. You've really improved last year's performance and made the cut on the Nice List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Yay!”
Tumblr media
Wow Dmitri, rescuing those Orphans from that burning building got you a free ride on Santa's Nice List for years to  come!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“That’s nice... But I haven’t saved anyone from a burning building.”
Tumblr media
“See what I mean by this not always being right?”
Tumblr media
Little ghost, you must have been EXTRA nice this year. Santa has a smiley face next to your name on the Nice List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aleksei, you REALLY put ex-lax in Santa's cookies?! Don't expect to see your name on the Nice List anytime soon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“No I didn’t!”
Tumblr media
“Press the button again.”
Tumblr media
Ho ho ho! Nice try, Aleksei. Thought you could slip one past the Big Guy, huh? Naughty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“I didn’t, really!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aleksei, do you really think Santa is unaware of your inappropriate Facebook posts? Naughty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“WHAT THE HELL IS ‘FACEBOOK’?”
Tumblr media
*Snickering*
Tumblr media
“It’s just a game, Aleksei. Don’t worry about it.”
Tumblr media
“And don’t laugh at him, Ekaterina.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“My turn!”
Tumblr media
Dyanna, shouldn’t you be working, instead of surfing the web during office hours…?
NAUGHTY LIST FOR YOU!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“I’m only eleven, I don’t have a job!”
Tumblr media
Hmmmm... you've got a couple weeks left to redeem yourself, Elias.  Right now, you are on the Naughty List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Alrighty... Will do.”
Tumblr media
... 👀
Tumblr media
“Can I try?”
Tumblr media
“Have at it, little guy.”
Tumblr media
In the words of Larry David, you've been "pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good" this year.

What does Your Heart Look Like?
Tumblr media
A tangled ball of red strings
Who are you without the company of others? You aren’t sure, but you know that you aren’t fond of whoever it is. You are an actor, a pretty face and a pleasant song. Many idolize you, or love you, but you can never be sure of how sincere it is. Your heart is buried under the letters they leave you, sealed with a kiss. It can’t be untangled from the red strings they’ve attached to you. You deserve to find something, someone, true and faithful to hold your heart in place. You don’t have to be everything to everyone.

“What was that?!”
Tumblr media
“Is it  Xiuying and Ignatius?”
Tumblr media
“We’re right here...”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Oh!”
Tumblr media
“False alarm, everybody. It’s just Elias.”
Tumblr media
“Then what were those noises?”
Tumblr media
“I brought firecrackers for everybody!”
Tumblr media
“What are firecrackers?”
Tumblr media
“They’re little capsules that you either throw on the ground or set on fire, and it’ll make a colorful explosion. The noise came from me dropping a box.”
Tumblr media
“Is it for the new year?”
Tumblr media
“Yep!”
Tumblr media
“But didn’t we already set off fireworks almost a month ago?”
Tumblr media
“It’s tiger new year again!”
Tumblr media
*snickering* “Lunar new year. And it’s the year of the cat this time.”
Tumblr media
“Close enough...”
Tumblr media
“Cat? There’s no cat on the zodiac. It’s the year of the rabbit.”
Tumblr media
“Rabbit?”
Tumblr media
“The cat would have raced, but the rat didn’t wake him up the morning of.”
Tumblr media
...??
Tumblr media
“Xiuying, you’re Gudanese. And Elias, your mother was from Xuyen. Maybe you have different versions of the legend!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“That makes sense.”
Tumblr media
“There’s a legend?”
Tumblr media
“Yea...”
Tumblr media
“Annabelle and Serafina weren’t here last year.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, right!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Thanks.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“‘Back when tigers used to smoke, there was race between the animals. The Jade Emperor, who was the ruler of the heavens, asked all the animals to participate in his birthday on the ninth day of the first lunar month and held a great race. The first twelve animals that came would be given a place in the calendar.’”
“‘Although the rat got up early and ran fast, he became worried when he arrived at the river bank as he was a poor swimmer. After waiting for the come of the ox, he asked the help from the ox to carry him across the river. With the help of the honest and helpful ox, the rat successfully crossed the river. However, he didn’t jump off from the ox’s back until they arrived at the door of the Jade Emperor.’
“‘Just as the ox was about to win the race, the rat leapt to the Jade Emperor before the ox. Thus, the rat won the first place in the race and the second the ox. Later came the Tiger, Cat, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, and Dog. The lazy pig arrived last and got the last place.’”
Tumblr media
“Now come and get your firecrackers, everyone! We’ll set them off tonight!”

“Can we come out now?”
Tumblr media
Yea, come on, you two! :D Come introduce yourselves to the rest of the gang!
Tumblr media
“Alrighty!”
Tumblr media
“My name is Xiuying, I’m twelve years old, and I was born in the year of the monkey.”
Tumblr media
“I’m Ignatius. I’m ten, and...”
Tumblr media
“What year was I born in?”
Tumblr media
“The dog.”
Tumblr media
“Woof woof!” *giggling*
Tumblr media
“Where are you two from? I’ve never seen anyone dressed like that before.”
Tumblr media
“And what’s your gimmick?”
Tumblr media
“Our what?”
Tumblr media
“We all have something special: Aleksei is from a fandom; Annabelle, Dyanna, Katia, Dmitri, Elias, and Serafina are main characters from Estrella’s stories; I kept my story’s main characters from getting themselves killed; and Ghost is... Well, a ghost.”
Tumblr media
“Do you have magic?”
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
“I was a spellcaster...”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Ghost wants you to show it some spells.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, and can you show me how to cast one?”
Tumblr media
“You were a spellcaster? What are you now?”
Tumblr media
“Are you kinetics now?”
Tumblr media
...!
Tumblr media
They’re Fragokinetics! Xiuying’s always had her powers and Ignatius just got his.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“They can blow things up.”
Tumblr media
:)?
Tumblr media
“You can befriend them if you want, they can’t hurt you.”
Tumblr media
“Should we... Go?”
Tumblr media
“No, please stay.”
Tumblr media
“Really?”
Tumblr media
“... So you’re not scared...?”
Tumblr media
“If you keep your powers as under wraps as I do, then I don’t see a reason to be. I’m a Cariesgenetic. Until Katia and Dima showed me how they buried offal in their garden to fertilize it, I had no idea that rot could be anything but disgusting, like my father always told me. I know what it’s like to be afraid of my own powers.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“That does make me feel a little better...”
Tumblr media
“I can ask my friend if she knows a spell to counteract your powers. Would you like that?”
Tumblr media
“YES!”
Tumblr media
“I have a good luck charm, if it would make you feel better to have.”
Tumblr media
“There are things called amplifiers where I’m from that makes powers stronger. I’ll ask my parents if there are reverse-amplifiers.”
Tumblr media
“Those would be very nice, thank you.”
Tumblr media
“And where are you two from?”
Tumblr media
“I’m from Yuan Gudai.”
Tumblr media
“And I’m from Ephesus.”
Tumblr media
“Oooh, tell me all about them!”

How Evil are You?
Tumblr media
Aleksei Oretsev is so evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“For what? Stealing that book?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Is that where it went? You jerk, I failed a test without it!”
Tumblr media
“I didn’t know it was yours...”
Tumblr media
“My mom grounded me for a week!”
Tumblr media
*sigh* “Why do boys have to be like this?”
Tumblr media
“At least they’re not as bad as Salazar...”
And then Elias threw the first punch
Tumblr media
“... I take that back.”
Tumblr media
Annabelle Elsworth is just a smidge evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Well, it could have been worse.” She nervously eyed Aleksei and Elias as Grisha and Valeriya dragged them apart.
Tumblr media
Dyanna Veselovskaya is not evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Yay!”
Tumblr media
Dmitri Sobakin is so evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*cackling* “That’s for making Gospozha Rabinovichia drop a snowman on me!”
Tumblr media

“And that’s for all the snowballs you throw at me and call birthday ‘presents’.”
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Elias Sombratio Liang is pure evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
!
Tumblr media
“You punched first, kiddo. Don’t even start.”
Tumblr media
*pout*
Tumblr media
Little ghost is a little bit evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“We still love you.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Princess Serafina is a little bit evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

(sins of the sea) Little boxes bearing dried mangoes, coconuts, tamarind, and puka bracelets for everyone! "Luna" in particular gets a little gold-chained bracelet with a small carved moon for a pendant! And though Dimitri won't know who is sending this or why, he'd get a specific gift too: a nazar. Hm…..
Tumblr media
"These bracelets are beautiful!"
Tumblr media
“Do you want mine?”
Tumblr media
"YES!"
Tumblr media

“What are these... Bendy dry things?”
Tumblr media
“Mango and coconut. They grow everywhere in Permico.”
Tumblr media
“I like them!”
Tumblr media
“The hard brown ones are tamarind, you have to break the shell and pull off the strings to eat it. My mom gets a pile every time we go to Xuyentown.”

“Mary was sitting in the sun outside her house. It was a normal day; a bit of cooking, a bit of helping around the house. She was having a few minutes rest, when suddenly an angel appeared.
“‘Are you Mary?' he asked.
“’Yes, who are you?' the startled girl replied.
“’I’m an angel from God, and I have a surprise for you. You’re going to have a baby.’
“Mary raised her hand to her mouth. ‘It would be a surprise, I’m not even married.’...”

“... The three wise men were just going to go back home when God said: 'Don’t tell Herod where Jesus is. He wants to hurt him, not worship him.'
"’Right,” they said. 'We’ll go back a different way.'
“They did, and so King Herod never found out where Jesus was.”
Tumblr media
“Alright, now let’s see what everyone got.”
Tumblr media
“A doll! Thank you!”
Tumblr media
“Sweet, a cookbook!”
Tumblr media
“Was that a pun?”
Tumblr media
“Maaaaybe...”
It was a happy little accident, truth be told.
Tumblr media
“A necklace!”

“It’s beautiful.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, tea. What flavor?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“A toy bird... Uh... Thanks”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Turn its tail?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“It flies!”
Tumblr media
“More toy soldiers!”
Tumblr media
“Oh, ribbons! Thank you.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, I got a doll too! Annabelle, maybe we can have a tea party.”
Tumblr media
“Tomorrow?”
Tumblr media
“Tomorrow.”
Tumblr media
“Can I come too? I’ll bring some of Mama’s bloodleaf tea.”
Tumblr media
“You’re a boy...”
