[007] Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools~

[likesottlyfab]

An ominous bright pink envelope has mysteriously appeared in your mail slot.

Should your hands stop trembling long enough to open it you will be greeted with a horrifying note inside.

It is written on a terrifying shade of light pink stationary and faintly scented with the frightening aroma of strawberries.

A chilling message is scrawled on the stationary in an unsettling shade of hot pink ink and cute handwriting.

Do you dare read it?

[A. Victim: Crowley]

Now that you have started reading this message you're totally cursed!
This is not a joke. For serious, this letter is way cursed!
Your only hope is to send it out to a 100 people or suffer the really bad consequences!

Take Czeslawa. She was like a pretty lucky girl, up till she got this same letter.
When she got this in the mail she didn't pay any attention to it. She just thought, no big deal and threw it out.
The next day her dad got fired and her mom died in a freak pierogi accident! If she would have sent the letter none of that would have happened and her mom would be completely alive and junk eating delicious pierogis.

Now she has to live with her horrible guilt for like...ever! Send this out before it's like way too late and you regret it!!!

[B. Victim: Gawain]

This letter has been in existence since 1832. In human years that is like a really long time or something. So that should totally prove that this is legit and that the effects of this letter are seriously real.

You need to send this letter to 50 people or all the girls in town will turn into flowers!

If you still haven't sent them by tomorrow then a frost will settle upon the town.

All the girls will totally wilt and die!

Send this letter out or you'll be responsible for killing all the girls in Mayfield!

[C. Victim: Oerba]

Send this letter to 5 people or your capital will become Warsaw!

If you can read this its already too late.

[D. Victim: Keith Goodman]

Think of a wish! Got it? Good! Now hold your breath!

...

Little more!

...

Keep going!

...

You're totally almost there!

...

Are you still holding it?

...

Okay like, breathe! Did you make a wish? You'd better of, I mean I totally told you to!

Send this letter to 9000 people and your wish will totally come true!

If you don't then your wish will NEVER come true and you'll be afflicted by a horrible curse!!!

[E. Victim: Maladict]

Send this letter to 25 people by the next hour.

If you don't your coffee will totally turn to ash.

Like forever.

And ever.

(Continued on the other side, flip over for the rest of the message please! -->)

And EVER.


[F. Victim: Anyone]

[With these five chain letters circulating around an unintended target could have also received one! Or more! Will you continue the chain or... suffer the consequences of your inaction?]

[Well, Crowley does indeed open up the threateningly pink letter. He reads it, stares at the page, sniffs the paper, and then reads it again.

He bursts out laughing.]

[likesottlyfab]

[Poland decided to stick around outside Crowley's house in the bushes with a pair of binoculars to see how totally traumatized he'd be once he read the letter.

Seriously if you have to prank someone you might as well stick around and reap the benefits right?

Problem was this Crowley guy totally wasn't taking it serious! He was laughing even! So not cool! Didn't he understand the intense seriousness of little Czeslawa's blight?!

Rude. ]

[likesottlyfab]

[Enjoy this rock with another envelope tied to it going through your window Crowley. Mayfield will just fix it by tomorrow anyways no biggie.]

Stop laughing this is like totally serious!

If you don't send those letters something SERIOUSLY BAD will happen!

See! SERIOUS!

[eyesofaserpent]

[Crowley looks at the broken window and then the rock and the cloying pink. He opens the envelope and reads the note.]

Well isn't this just precious.

[likesottlyfab]

[Poland's getting the feeling this isn't going to work on this Crowley person no matter how many follow up notes he writes and launches at his house.]

Aw man... way lame.

[Poland loved pink, but pink polkadots blemishing his skin was too much even for him. He's moving on to the next victim on the list.

Hope you don't choke on a pierogi Crowley.]

[eyesofaserpent]

[Considering he doesn't typically eat pierogis, that's highly unlikely.]

[white_knightin]

[ After reading the letter Gawain is a little freaked out. But, who writes a letter in pink writing and expects someone to take it seriously. ]

I don't want that to happen to a good chunk of the town but I don't know that many people.

[likesottlyfab]

[If Gawain hasn't sent any letters out, Poland will be forced to enact the curse! Of course even if Gawain had sent letters out Poland would have done it anyways because this weird green rash is hella itchy and it seriously needs to go.]

[likesottlyfab]

[The next day Poland has collected flowers from gardens all over and meticulously placed them around town. Discarded blouses, skirts and dresses from the tailor shop lay next to them as if a person had once been there and suddenly vanished...]

...

[Gawain will receive another pink letter in his mail slot.]

YOU TOTALLY FAILED! THE CURSE HAS BEGUN.

Send the letters before the frost... or all the girls in Mayfield will die at your hands!

Like. I'll be watching.

[mal_addict]

[She's just staring at this.

Now comes a conundrum. Obey the letter, and not risk the thing that keeps her sane or...understand that anything that pink is probably not an actual threat]

[likesottlyfab]

[Poland's just going to hang out underneath Maladict's kitchen window and wait the hour out to see how she'll proceed.

Choose wisely~]

[mal_addict]

[She finally decides, as stupid as it is, the coffee is too big a thing to risk.

Off go all those glorious chain letters]

[likesottlyfab]

[While she's doing that then, Poland will climb into the kitchen holding a coffee can of ashes. Then dump them into the coffee filter and any ground up coffee she has lying around before sneaking back out the window again.

He's just going to assume she won't make it to twenty five people's mailboxes within the hour. He didn't spend all morning scooping ashes out of the fireplace for nothing afterall.]

[mal_addict]

[And when the coffee was discovered, there was a great cry, which could be heard all the way through Bilko Boulevard.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY]

[likesottlyfab]

[Polish victory!]

D

[kingofhero]

[It's such a pink envelope. . . though he knows, now, to be wary of envelopes from the town, he'll open it carefully.

And he'll make that wish. After a long day of being pranked, he really wishes John were here, and all of the other heroes too. That would make him feel better.

He has no trouble holding his breath, either, even though he liked the air a lot.]

9. . .9 thousand. . .

[And with the saddest sigh ever, he'll just lay his head on the kitchen table., staring at the wood. Keith just wanted to go home.]

Poor Keith. lol

[likesottlyfab]

[Alright maybe that one had been a little mean, but Poland was totally giving you an opportunity for something good to happen right? No one else had gotten that opportunity, so yeah a little more work needed to be involved and you're a pretty sociable guy right?

Hey it could have been worse. It could have been over 9000!

Poland's being pretty generous here.]

[vytis]

[Lithuania is standing out on his porch, looking at his mail. Or trying to--he's been feeling increasingly awful (and he's not sure if he's just hallucinating those polka-dots all over his skin), and he can't really tell if he's actually reading what the letters are actually saying or not.]

...My coffee will turn to ash?

[It takes him a lot longer than it really should have for him to connect the dots. He blames his pounding headache.]

Poland.

[likesottlyfab]

[Lithuania might be hear some clamoring around in his kitchen right about now. He should ignore that and not check it out at all. That was not Poland climbing in through his kitchen window and dropping a container of ashes really loudly on the counter top while he's in the middle of swapping out your coffee grinds.

Nope.

Just stay on the porch.]

[vytis]

[Lithuania turns as soon as he hears that clamoring, and makes it almost back into the kitchen before he wobbles and has to lean against the door frame so as not to fall over. When he looks up there are about six Polands, so he's really not sure which one to talk to and just addresses the room in general.]

What are you doing?

[likesottlyfab]

[Oh no! Caught in the act, this could compromise the entire prank! Poland didn't want to end up with polkadot blotches again, they were like totally detrimental to his complexion! Granted that wouldn't actually happen since he's been pranking people for days so he's safe, but he doesn't know that.]

So he'll quickly shove the canister behind his back and try to play it cool.]

N-nothing!

Oh. This isn't my house? Um... whoops! You know they all really look alike and stuff! I should like totally get going!

[Trying to maneuver some ashes into his coffee grinds as discretely as possible so he can make a clean get away.]

[vytis]

I saw the letter--ugh.

[Lithuania takes a step forward, realizes he's not going to make it across the kitchen without something to hold onto, and stops again. Also there are still six Polands.]

You know where my house is.

[likesottlyfab]

Oh you mean the super scary chain letters going around town that I had totally nothing to do with? [Have six Poland's flapping their ashy hands back and forth in your face.] Yeah they're freaky, you'd like better pass it on before something bad happens!

[Wait.]

Um... what's wrong with you?

[vytis]

[Whoa that is a really weird effect, Lithuania will just wobble a bit and nearly fall over.]

I'm not sure, I think it's Mayfield, or something...

[At least, no disease he knows of involves polka-dots.]

[likesottlyfab]

Oh!

[Polkadots! Lithuania must have gotten that weird letter in the mail that told people they had to prank others.

... Wow really Mayfield? You picked Lithuania to do this too? Why don't you just kill him right now, he is terrible at this sort of thing.]

You're totally lucky I came in through the wrong window then! Although seriously, your luck has like run out you need to send that chain letter to people later.

But first where's that letter you got days ago with all the names on it?

[vytis]

About the April Fools' Day thing? It should be--

[Lithuania turns to lead the way to the living room and falls over. It takes him a second to reorient himself.]

[likesottlyfab]

[Crouches down to Lithuania's new level. Aside from the polkadots and being completely out of his freaking mind--he seemed okay.]

Wow. This is going to be a total disaster if you do this by yourself.

[vytis]

Do what by myself?

[Slowly trying to get back to his feet.]

[likesottlyfab]

[Sighs and helps him up.]

You have to like prank someone on the list they gave you or you'll get sick. [Points at him.] Case and point.

Plus knowing this place you might die from whatever it is too, so like we seriously need to get on this.

[vytis]

[Leaning on Poland just a little bit. There aren't six of him anymore but his hair does look like it's on fire.]

Is that how you get rid of it? I'm sure I can do--something...

[likesottlyfab]

[He has been told his hair is like the sun. Granted he's pretty sure they meant because of the golden color, not the whole on fire thing.]

Yeah, I had this really grody green rash and little polkadots until I did my pranks. I didn't wait for forever like you did.

Way to procrastinate! [April Fools is serious silly business Lithuania.]

You should do something really simple just to knock it out and get your brain to focus again.

[vytis]

I suppose as long as it's nothing too mean.

[Attempting to head to the couch now.]

My letter should be on the coffee table. Ah--

[Why is the whole coffee table covered with letters? Spoilers there is really just the one letter Lithuania is seeing things again.]

[likesottlyfab]

[Will just be picking that up for him while side eyeing him.]

Do you like know any of these people?

[vytis]

The letters won't stay put so I'm not sure.

[It takes him much longer than he'd really like to admit to realize how ridiculous that sounds.]

[C!]

[tofightfor]

[When Fang sees the envelope, her heart actually feels like it stops for a moment. Not only does it stop, it stops in her throat. This is the same shade of pink as... No, no, it can't be. Someone would have seen... But that sweet smell. It's not quite the great outdoors, sweets, wild flowers and honey but... It IS familiar and.... This... The pretty hand writing.... could it? It, it has to but... Why would she be... How could she? Fang had talked to so many people how had no one...

Wait...... Wait.

......................]


Capital? .... [Fang's eyes narrow.] Warsaw?


[This letter wasn't in the Gran Pulse Alphabet either... How the hell had she taken so long to realize that?]

The 'ell is this? [Yup, Fang's confused. She's got no idea what the hell this is but she did at least figure out it sure as hell isn't from Vanille.]

[likesottlyfab]

[Hanging out safely in a tree outside Fang's window with a pair of binoculars, Poland bursts out laughing.]

Wow, I wish these things had a camera built into them. She makes like, the best confused faces~!

[tofightfor]

[The confusion turns to a frown and a heavy sigh as the letter is... Almost reluctantly... discarded. She looks rather grumpy now actually as she walks away from the bright pink and sweetly scented note.]

Don't even know what the 'ell a Warsaw is. [Yup, hello grumpy pants.]

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

[Somehow or another, Feli's gotten his hands on a prank letter. And it's the one which threatens to turn his coffee into ash. His eyes just grow wide with fear.]

M-mio caffe!!?? Noooooooo~!!!

[And off he goes to quickly post all of them pink letters.]
