[At some point in the last week, your character received a letter in the mail. Feel free to open and read it, throw it away, or respond to it in whatever way you see fit.]

voice mail | id reads "power girl"

[boobwindow]

Norman Osborn? My name is Power Girl and when you have a moment to spare I'd really appreciate if you can get in touch with me.

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Power Girl? What would a stranger want to do with him? ...Probably the same thing every other stranger here seems to want with him. Might as well get this over with.

He calls her back as soon as he finishes listening to the message. Ring ring.]

[khajidont]

Hi Mr. Osborn. I'm the Blue Beetle and I'm investigating a couple of crimes.

I know you must be awfully tired of getting questions about it by now, but I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions? It's about your grandfather.

[notyourfathersosborn]

Please, call me Normie.

I'll do my best to answer any questions you might have, if I can. You have to understand, in my universe, he died while I was still a child.

[resipiscent]

Hey, this just occurred to me, so I thought I'd ask. What did you ever make using those microwaves I helped you carry when we met?

[resipiscent]

[When Riku doesn't get a reply from Normie for almost a week, he gets a little suspicious. That's not like him.]

Hey. If you get this, let me know.

text; it begins

[sidecars]

The caretaker lady is on rollers
SHE IS ROLLING ACROSS THE FLOOR LIKE A DOLLY WHY
What is spooky about that?

Why is she even in the closet??

[ Yeah, he's not even naming the title. That is on you to figure out what he's rambling about. SPOILER: It's House on Haunted Hill!! ]

text; bring it on!

[notyourfathersosborn]

That was cutting edge for the 50s.

[Was it? Damned if he knows, but he's going to go with that as his answer.]

I feel like if I said "checking the spot out for Vincent Price for later" I'd be giving that movie too much credit.

[sidecars]

Did you know
That
There is a movie
Called
And I quote
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

This is something that was made
I am watching it
And I have to say
I'm a little scared

text;

[notyourfathersosborn]

Dude that movie is awesome!

And by awesome, I mean it's one of the worst movies ever.

But that's what makes it so great.

text; the time has come

[sidecars]

Hey, I haven't seen you at home in awhile
Are you busy at work or something?

text; nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~

[notyourfathersosborn]

Wait I thought you

No one told you?

[the morning of 12/25]

[timecapture]

[Norman gets a blue scarf! Also cookies. You know you want them. There's also a card with well-wishing and a cheerful in-joke (because you know they have one by now).]

text; 12/25

[sidecars]

Merry Christmas

[ There. That's all you get for now. ]

text

[notyourfathersosborn]

Merry Christmas, Bucky

[He'll take it.]

text, jan 25

[resipiscent]

Hey.

[He wasn't sure what he wanted to say after that, but he pressed the send button by accident. After a moment:]

How're you holding up?

[notyourfathersosborn]

[It's a while before he replies, mainly because using he's not used to using the Network mentally.]

not the first time i've been kidnapped

first time with so many people

or anyone else really

or without my grandfather or father involved

Delivery! 2/14

[timecapture]

[Hello, Normie! You get a batch of cookies, a hand-drawn card, and a sweet note thanking you for your friendship and asking if you want to go see movies again sometimes.]

june 24

[resipiscent]

[Riku's trying very hard to message anyone he thinks might have been worried about him, and he knows Nike had spoken with Normie anyway, so here he is.]

Hey.

[notyourfathersosborn]

Dude where are you? You have people worrying over you!

And yes, I'm one of those people.

Voice, morning of the 6th

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Hi, Normie?

[She can only hope.]

[notyourfathersosborn]

[There's silence on the other end of the phone for a bit, as Normie just stares at the caller ID.

Finally:]

Mayday!?

Letter!

[baetiful]

[ Perhaps it's a bit old-fashioned, but the message arrives for Norman via mockingbird. Sealed closed by a wax mockingbird sigil, the letter is hand-written in careful cursive. ]

Dear, Mr. Osborn -

We have not spoken before, but my name is Petyr Baelish. I serve as the ambassador for Maurtia Falls. I write to you on behalf of a project I am working on within my city. Construction has already begun on rebuilding a much larger library, but I wish for this to be more than simply a bigger structure. I hope to inspire education and the spread of knowledge to the natives of Maurtia Falls as well as provide an invaluable resource to new arrivals here. But more than that, I wish to use it to pay homage to the natives who lost their lives within Maurtia Falls due to imPort related tragedies. Their names will be honored within the library itself and donations will be set up to be made to the families.

For this project to succeed, I need your help. If you are able to donate anything at all to the cause, it would be most appreciated -- whether that is books, money, or simply your time. I plan to put programs into place once the library is finished to have imPorts come in and read to the much younger generation. I believe it would be a great way to strengthen the native and imPort bond.

I thank you for your time, and I do hope to hear back from you soon.

Sincerely,
Ambassador Petyr Baelish


[ OOC: You can feel free to just respond to this OOCly if he would donate anything or not! ]

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Normie quickly sends back a reply--boringly, through the mail. His handwriting is slow and deliberate, mainly because he normally has atrocious handwriting and he's making sure his words are legible.]

Ambassador Baelish,

Though I've never lived in Maurtia Falls, back when I first arrived I frequently found myself there looking for various parts. Additionally, my previous job of genealogist would often take me to the very library you're currently renovating. I know the staff there well.

Enclosed is a check for $5,000, a donation for the express purpose of renovating the library in question. If you require any volunteers either I, or someone from my company, will be glad to lend you assistance.

Additionally, OsCorp has a charity that creates STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) programs for schoolchildren. If you would like to have us set up something once the renovations are complete, I can get you in contact with our coordinator.

I wish you the best of luck on your project, and I look forward to seeing the final result.

Respectfully,

Norman H.Osborn

[glowsferatu]

Normie, this is Kanaya. I meant to call you weeks ago, but our long nap rather got in the way. I've a business proposition to run by you.

[notyourfathersosborn]

It's probably for the best you waited. I... wasn't in the best head space after we woke up.

[The symbiote is such a vital part of him that it had taken him some time to accept the fact that it had never been torn from him.]

What's up?

A text message in April!

[shutterbugged]

Normie? Call me back when you can, please.

[ Because Peter is a neo-luddite who, gasp, prefers phone calls to texting. Also, because this is serious news. ]

Audio;

[notyourfathersosborn]

[The call comes about an hour later. Normie sounds kind far away from the receiver, his voice carrying as if he's in a large open space.]

Hey Pete, what's up?
