It's been like a year and I want to get my mind back into writing so I'm hoping this goes somewhere, I'm up for some ideas!

(Oh ok. Not sure how this would work with three people, but here goes:)
(Three explorers, travelling separately but chronicling their discoveries in a series of letters written to each other. The letters are sent by [insert bird or other fast creature here]. Essentially, pure worldbuilding, with plot happening in the stories recounted by the letters)

@FallenSinAza

(yes you can write short responses just not too short. The replies can be as long as you want them.)

@FallenSinAza

(I mean, it's your rp! If you want 3, that could work just fine. Maybe they're members of an explorers guild or something)
(And I'm glad you like the idea :)

(sorry I took so long but we can try a guild. And for the story your idea is that these guild members discover these letters and they set out to figure out what they mean?)

On the RP? Like I should make my character talk to another character of mine or should my character react to everyone else's characters?

@FallenSinAza

(No, but I would like for you and Chillicheesy to provide a writing sample because I've never seen you're rping before, nothing special I just want to see how your writing style is and how you character interacts with other characters (so something with dialogue)

@EldritchHorror-Davadio health_and_safety emoji_events

(Probably a good idea, Lily. If you watch how it goes and decide to try again later, I'm sure you'd be welcome)
(As for the letters, I was thinking the explorers are all exploring completely different places, but send letters to each other. What we write is the letters, essentially telling the story through the letters. Lots of opportunities for worldbuilding. I'll give an example)

My dear [insert your character name here],
I was excited to hear of the remote tribe you came across in your desert travels last week!. How exciting to find a culture untouched by civilization!
For myself, I am still exploring the ruins I discovered in the Silver Peaks. To date, I have found 6 artifacts of religious importance to the ancient people that were here. I am still investigating the remains of the Palace, looking for the treasury. I hope to be able to cover the cost of my trip out of my findings.

Until the raven next finds you,

@FallenSinAza

(Yes I like that idea, I've never tried it this way but I'm excited to try. Is there going to be more story in between the letters or just the letters describing events along the way.)
