Dear Penny,

just a quick line to say I'll be late back from the war; stopped off for a quick snack at Circe's Palace and my men made complete pigs of themselves as usual. Can't wait to be back with you, give Telemachus a kiss for me.

Love,
Odysseus.

P.S. Don't forget to feed Argos!

*sigh*

Really, Odysseus, you stretch a girl's patience! As if it isn't enough that it took you and your men a full ten years just to sack some beastly Asian city. Now you're telling me you can't have the courtesy to come straight home afterwards.

I have to warn you: I can't keep on unpicking this shroud forever. People are starting to get suspicious. And besides, some of the suitors who have been arriving recently are really very wealthy. It isn't fair on poor Telemachus to leave him without a father, and if you won't do the job, there are plenty who will.

Please hurry home before I have to think of some way of picking the best option from the men who are actually here.

Penelope.

P.S. Your dinner is in the Hydra.

Pen,

now look! We've been over this. If that meathead Menelaus had just listened to me instead of doing his usual chest-pounding gorilla routine, we'd have been out of there in six months tops. And furhermore, if that little tart Helen had just managed to keep her toga on for more than five minutes, none of this mess would have happened in the first place - between you and me, she didn't look all that kidnapped when we got into the palace... Besides, you think I like being sat in a desert for ten years, brushing sand out of my arsecrack and listening to Achilles bang on and on about what a great shag Patroclus is ( ... )

Ack, I can't really think of another good in-character reply to this. But you, sir, are a genius! It's the bit about the Charybdis bypass I really like.

Thank you for much easing the woes of my cold...

Dear Penny,

Is life as difficult in 2006 as it is in 3000?

I swear, if you had to put up with colleagues who are such slobs as Fry and Dr. Zoidberg, as old as Farnsworth or as unreasonably cute as Amy, you'd feel as existentially angry as I do. At least Bender excretes *alcohol*.

Still, life isn't all bad - I get to be a ship's captain and I wuv my little Nibbler. I can't believe what Fry's saying about him being some sort of omnipotent being. I think the antigrav pooper-scooper the vet suggested should sort out all those little singularities he leaves as presents for his mom. I just wish he'd stop coughing up ham-balls.

I'd tell you to keep an eye out for good men, but coming from me that would just be a bad joke *sobs*.

We tall, pretty, purple-haired girls have to stick together - come visit sometime, we can take Nibbler walkies past the ham plantation and play with Fry's emotions. And you ought to meet my parents - Mom's tentacle stew is to die for!

Yours,

Turanga Leela.

play with Fry's emotions

Dear Leela,

Oh, believe me, I can think of some great ways in which we could do that... Amy's welcome, too, if she likes.

I might pass on the tentacle stew, though.

See you in 994 years!

Penny

Dear Severus,

In exile and still forced to do marking? Talk about getting the worst of both worlds. I had quite imagined you had swanned off to some swanky hide-out where teaching was the last thing on your mind and you were free to indulge in hot, slashy sex with young Malfoy. Sorry to hear it's otherwise.

As for sitting out the next book, I'm afraid I don't fancy your chances. You know perfectly well that it's your destiny to reappear, be redeemed, and then lay down your life heroically in the final conflict. I suggest you enjoy that triple-quadruple whisky while you have the chance. Don't suppose you'd like a drinking companion, would you?

Yours in essay-marking solidarity,

Penelope.

Gah, the spoilers! Still, it's my own fault for being so slow to read the damn thing, and this is wonderful. Especially "remotest Scotland where, apparently, I am always welcome along with running water and the wheel". I am still snickering over that one. Encore!

Lord Summerisle invites you to:

A celebration of the Coming-in of Summer

With singing, dancing, local produce and traditional crafts on display

Summerisle

strange_complex February 6 2006, 13:10:34 UTC

Dear Lord Summerisle,

What do you think I am - some kind of fool?

Besides, my Punch costume is still at the cleaners' after last time. Burnt goat is a devil to shift, you know.

Yours,

Howie.
