The IC Anon Fanmail Meme

This meme is similar to the Anon Questions Meme, except that the characters get anon fanmail instead of anon questions.

[The Rules]

1. Post as your characters, and write down the name, canon, preferences, etc.

2. Go around and find another character, go anon, and send them IC anon fanmail. The fanmail can be as sincere or insincere as you wish.

3. Tag away, and be excellent to each other! No wank, please.

[ooc: omg the last tag line should read: 'the truth is rarely as pleasant as the story.' So, so, sorry! Cooking and tagging do not mix]

Well I shall have my tea and you can have a root beer, how does that sound? May I inquire as to how old you are?

[(Anonymous)]

[Hee, no worries!]

Seventeen, sir. But an old seventeen.

[j_h_holliday]

Of that I certainly have no doubt, adults rarely give young people their due when it comes to life experiences and strength and what a pity that is. And please, no need to call me sir, my friends call me Doc, come to think of it even people who do not like me call me that. Hopefully I may consider you the former and not the latter of the pair.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you, sir. Doc.

I have a lot of dangerous friends. I'd like to consider you one, too.

[j_h_holliday]

You would like to consider me a friend because I am dangerous?

[(Anonymous)]

No, not, that's not my meaning! I'm...accustomed to being around people others consider dangerous. For one reason or another.

[j_h_holliday]

Ah. Yes. I do suppose some people consider me dangerous. Does your hanging around dangerous people come from the fact that you are a very old seventeen year old?

[(Anonymous)]

Partially, but mostly because some of my friends are alchemists. Or soldiers.

[j_h_holliday]

I cannot say that I have ever encountered an alchemist that was not hawking a potion or ware that did what it actually claimed to do, but painting with a broad brush gets a man in trouble. How do alchemists and soldiers coincide in your world?

[(Anonymous)]

Most alchemists are soldiers in my world. They're called 'human weapons' for the amount of destruction they can do. My friends can destroy a town in just a few minutes if they wanted to. Well, they have in the past, but they set it to rights again.

[j_h_holliday]

That sounds like a very grim title indeed. Where do you fit in among all this? Are you a human weapon?

[(Anonymous)]

[If there was a way to laugh, she might.]

No. I'm an engineer. I give people back their lives. But my two best friends are alchemists.

[j_h_holliday]

That is a much better title, much better indeed. It is a noble undertaking to give someone back something back like that. What made you decide to follow that path?

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you, Doc!

My parents were doctors and my grandmother is an engineer and an automail surgeon. It's the family business, you could say.

[j_h_holliday]

You are very welocome! Is there a way that you would like me to address you, or shall you remain nameless and faceless?

I have an uncle who is a doctor, and my cousin Robert is a dentist, and I can say that the medical profession is a hard occupation to take on, you are strong for doing so.

[(Anonymous)]

Ahh...I'd rather stay anonymous. I know that's rude but I feel like I can talk to you easier this way.

Oh? I didn't know that.

It is hard, and difficult, and sometimes heartwrenching. But there are so many rewards, too.

[j_h_holliday]

Then by all means, please continue to do so. I do not wish to make you feel uncomfortable. I find it easier as well, truth be told.

Indeed, an odd variety in my family.

Does it balance out in the end, the heartbreak and the rewards?

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you, sir!

A lot of healers. That's a good thing. Like my family.

[A pause.]

I think I've had more rewards than heartbreaks. I've helped birth a baby and given people back their lives.

[j_h_holliday]

Perhaps we have more in common than I had previously thought, some of my family were soldiers as were some of my friends.

I am glad that has been your experience, and that sounds like you have had some lovely times in your career. The birth of a child is an amazing thing, what is the child's name?

[(Anonymous)]

It seems that way, doesn't it?

My closest friend is a soldier, but he joined the military to use it for research. He hopes he won't be used as a human weapon before he has the information he needs.

Dominic, after his grandfather. He's walking and trying to talk now!

[j_h_holliday]

I wish your friend well, it has been my experience that when a man slips himself into a den of vipers, even for the best of intentions, he rarely gets out without a few bites. It is much easier to get pulled down into the darkness and sickness rather than rise above it and take people with you.

Well, bless his heart. A fine age indeed!

[(Anonymous)]

He's...doing pretty well. But I'll tell him what you said about vipers. He'd probably say he'd bite the head off of one.

He's really cute. He looks like his father.

[j_h_holliday]

He sounds like a very young, spirited young man. As confident as he is, it is always best to beware. There is only one of him.

What are some of your other proud accomplishments?

[(Anonymous)]

He's lived a lot more in his years than some people ever will. And he has a lot of people on his side. But he...does lead a dangerous life.

Ah...I built my first arm at the age of eleven. And now I have a lot of customers. I'm getting to travel, too. That's...a lot of people who aren't part of the military don't often leave where they were born. At least not where I'm from.

[j_h_holliday]

It sounds like you worry and care about him, are you two in close contact and do you see him often?

You built an arm? That sounds very impressive, I believe we could have used a person like you a number of years ago when everyone was losing limbs and life.
