If you go back in time, many OP rules come from my previous play style. No encryption being one of them. Well, I still encrypt, but in riddles instead of code. Don't worry guys, I got more plans, lolz.

The red flag is up at open. I trimble inside and out while thinking about what is inside. Shall I wait a day to delay my fright? It matters not yet I wait to see my fate. Tomorrow, yes Tomorrow I'll wait to see what is inside that frightful box.

Sorry for my mutterings... I was just a tad bit scared... let me start over and be as clear as possible what has been happening today... let me start when my eyes first opened...

I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring, jolting me from my restless sleep. It was another day as a mail courier for the government, and I couldn't shake the feeling of trepidation that had plagued me lately. Today, like every other day, I would be entrusted with delivering unsealed letters, devoid of any personal details about the sender. It was a strict policy that had been drilled into us, a precaution to prevent sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands.

As I stumbled out of bed and went through my morning routine, my mind was fixated on the events that awaited me. But what unnerved me the most was the thought of my own mailbox, standing just outside my house, with its ominous red flag raised. Today, I had to face my fear head-on, as every mail courier did. I had to open my mailbox and retrieve the post before embarking on my daily rounds.

Stepping out into the brisk morning air, I approached my mailbox cautiously, as if it were a ticking time bomb. I took a deep breath and forced myself to lift the lid, half-expecting a deluge of personal secrets to come pouring out. With slight relief, there it was—just a single unsealed envelope, waiting patiently inside. The envelope was pristine, without any hint of its contents. But I dared not open it this morning. As I closed the mailbox and contemplated lowering the ominous red flag, I couldn't help but wonder about the lives of the countless people whose letters I would handle today. What secrets lay hidden behind these unassuming envelopes? What stories were etched upon the pages, concealed within the boundaries of government-mandated transparency?

As I embarked on my route, my mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. The morning sun cast a golden hue over the streets, but my focus remained on the letters clutched in my hands. Each house I visited held a mystery, a piece of someone's life that had been entrusted to me. I couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility and privilege in being the one to deliver these messages, even though they were stripped of personal details.

The streets bustled with life, yet I walked in solitude, my thoughts my only companions. I wondered about the lives of the recipients, how they anticipated their daily correspondence. Did they find solace in the letters they received? Or did the absence of personal touches leave them longing for more?

As I dropped off letter after letter, my mind wandered further. I contemplated the purpose of this stringent government policy. Was it really for security reasons, as they claimed? Or was it a means of exerting control, limiting the connections between individuals, and suppressing any trace of dissent or rebellion?

The weight of these thoughts bore down on me, making each step heavier than the last. I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had consumed me since the beginning of my career as a mail courier. Delivering these sealed, impersonal letters felt like an exercise in isolation, a constant reminder that I was just a cog in a vast machine, devoid of personal connection.

As the day drew to a close, I returned home, weary and burdened by my thoughts. I opened my mailbox one final time, retrieving the solitary letter waiting inside. It was a reminder that even as I traversed the city, delivering messages that were void of personal details, I was not immune to the isolation and the fear that accompanied this job.

Tomorrow, another day would dawn, and I would once again become a conduit for faceless communication. But as I closed my mailbox and leaving the red flag up, I made a silent promise to myself. I would find a way to forge connections, even in the absence of personal details. I would strive to bring a touch of humanity back into the realm of impersonal correspondence.

I can see the future now...

The next morning, as I prepared for another day on my mail courier route, I carried with me a small notebook and a pen. I decided that I would jot down brief, anonymous messages of encouragement or kindness within each letter I delivered. It would be my way of injecting a spark of warmth into the otherwise sterile process.

As I walked the familiar streets, slipping envelopes into mailboxes, I carefully composed my hidden messages. Words of encouragement, simple reminders of love, or even a whimsical joke. Each note was carefully chosen, intended to bring a smile or a moment of connection to the recipient. It was a small act of rebellion against the system, a silent protest against the impersonal nature of my job.

I imagined the surprise on their faces when they discovered these unexpected treasures. Would they pause for a moment, wondering who had taken the time to uplift their spirits? Perhaps they would feel a glimmer of connection, a reminder that even in the strictest of systems, there was room for compassion.

With each letter I delivered, I felt a sense of satisfaction. I might not know the individuals behind those doors, but I hoped that my small gestures would remind them of their shared humanity. That despite the faceless bureaucracy, there were still people who cared, even if they remained nameless.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. The routine of my job remained unchanged, yet my anonymous messages continued to bring me solace and purpose. The fear and isolation that once plagued me slowly dissipated, replaced by a quiet determination to make a difference, no matter how small.

One morning, as I approached my own mailbox, I noticed something different. The red flag that had once symbolized my anxiety was replaced by a small, vibrant bouquet of flowers. Someone had taken the time to bring a touch of beauty to my daily routine. A note attached to the flowers read, "To the mail courier who adds a little magic to our days."

Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized that my efforts had not gone unnoticed. Someone had recognized the anonymous acts of kindness I had been scattering like seeds. It was a reminder that even in a world of unsealed letters and impersonal connections, there was still room for compassion, for shared moments of humanity.

From that day forward, the weight of my job no longer felt burdensome. It became a reminder of the power we all possessed to touch the lives of others, even in the smallest of ways. As I continued my rounds, I knew that my unsealed letters would carry not only official messages but also hidden whispers of hope and empathy.

The strict government's rules remained intact, but within the confines of their system, I had found a way to make a difference. And as long as I remained a mail courier, I vowed to keep the spirit of connection alive, one unsealed envelope at a time.

Oh the world it changes... this is not like the other... where speech be free... I am some where else... I must remember the day... let me remember... I must try... before the world changes again before me... This Liquidia I am in now is not Liquidia... it is a New Liquidia... okay I must remember... let me recall the day...

I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring, jolting me from my restless sleep. It was another day as a mail courier for the Master, and I couldn't shake the feeling of trepidation that had plagued me lately. Today, like every other day, I must deliver unsealed letters without revealing anything personal about the sender. The Master's strict rules echoed in my mind, commanding obedience and secrecy.

As I stumbled out of bed and went through my morning routine, my thoughts were consumed by the demands of the Master. I must deliver every day, says the Master. No exceptions. The weight of the responsibility bore down on me, filling me with a mix of fear and anxiety. The consequences of failure were unknown, but I knew they would be severe.

Stepping out into the brisk morning air, I felt the Master's eyes upon me, watching my every move. I approached my mailbox cautiously, as if under the scrutinizing gaze of the Master. The red flag was raised, a stark reminder of the Master's watchful presence. I must lower the flag, says the Master. It was my duty, my signal to the world that I had fulfilled my obligations.

But as I reached for the red flag, a surge of fear coursed through my veins. What if I lowered it too soon? What if the Master's wrath descended upon me for some unknown transgression? The fear of the unknown gripped me tightly, and I hesitated.

With a trembling hand, I withdrew, leaving the red flag untouched. I would wait. Yes, I would wait until tomorrow. Surely the Master would understand. Surely a single day of delay would not warrant their retribution.

As I went about my daily routine, the thought of the raised red flag weighed heavily on my mind. The fear gnawed at me, but I convinced myself that it was a necessary precaution. I must protect myself from the Master's potential wrath. It was a gamble, a small act of rebellion against the oppressive grip of the Master's control.

Throughout the day, my thoughts were consumed by the red flag. I became hypersensitive to the glances of passersby, convinced that they could see my defiance, my wavering loyalty. The Master's power held me captive, and I felt like a pawn in their insidious game.

As the day wore on, my resolve wavered. Doubt crept in, mingling with my fear. What if the consequences of my delay were far worse than I anticipated? What if the Master's retribution was swift and merciless? The weight of my decision bore down on me, becoming almost unbearable.

With a heavy heart, I returned home, knowing that the red flag still stood defiantly outside my mailbox. The Master's gaze seemed to penetrate the very fabric of my being, leaving me trembling in their shadow. I knew that tomorrow, I would have to face the consequences of my defiance, whatever they may be.

As I lay in bed, sleep eluded me. Thoughts of the Master and the raised red flag swirled through my mind. Fear clung to me like a suffocating shroud. I questioned my decision, my feeble attempt at resistance. Perhaps it was all in vain, a futile gesture against an indomitable force.

But as the night wore on, a flicker of determination ignited within me. I would face the consequences, whatever they may be. The red flag would be lowered tomorrow, a testament to my strength in the face of fear.

With that resolve, I closed my eyes, finding solace in the knowledge that tomorrow would bring a new day, a day in which I would confront the Master and the consequences of my actions.

I was told that I appeared too townie last game, so I will work on it this game. I will try not to highly convince everyone that I am a certain role. I will try and be multiple roles in multiple realities.

I will deliver my post everyday to prevent the master from killing me. However, I must warn you. The master will kill whoever doesn't post everyday.

If everyone does post, someone still must go. For the master will make us choose who must go. Then they will be no more.

The morning arrived, casting a soft glow upon the world as I stepped outside, my heart pounding with anticipation. Today was the day I would confront my fears head-on, the day I would open the letter waiting patiently in my mailbox and lower the red flag that had taunted me for so long.

Approaching the mailbox, I took a deep breath, mustering every ounce of courage within me. With trembling hands, I unlatched the lid, revealing the solitary envelope resting inside. It was as if the letter held a hidden power, a secret that could change everything.

Gingerly, I withdrew the envelope from its enclosure, feeling the weight of its contents in my grasp. The paper felt delicate, as if it held a multitude of untold stories within its fibers. The Master's rules echoed in my mind once more, reminding me not to reveal anything personal about the sender.

I carefully slit the envelope open, revealing the neatly folded letter contained within. Unfolding it, I held my breath, unsure of what I would find. The words that met my eyes were unexpected, a departure from the sterile nature of my usual deliveries.

"Dear Courier, I know the burden you carry. The fear, the isolation. But remember, there is strength in unity, even in the face of an oppressive regime. Do not let the Master's control extinguish your spirit. Take solace in the small acts of rebellion, for they hold the power to ignite change. Lower the red flag today, reclaim your freedom. Together, we can defy the chains that bind us."

As I read those words, a surge of hope coursed through my veins. It was as if the sender had understood my turmoil, my yearning for connection and liberation. Their message was a call to action, a rallying cry that resonated deep within me.

Determined, I closed the letter and slipped it back into the envelope. The weight of the Master's gaze and the consequences of my actions paled in comparison to the flicker of rebellion that had ignited within me. Today, I would defy the Master's control, even if only in a small, symbolic act.

With renewed purpose, I reached up and gently lowered the red flag, its descent a defiance against the oppressive grip of the Master. The symbolic act sent a surge of exhilaration through me, a sense of liberation that I hadn't felt in so long.

The raised red flag had represented fear and subservience, but now, as it stood lowered, it became a beacon of hope, a symbol of resilience and the possibility of change. I had taken a step towards reclaiming my identity, towards forging a path of my own in the face of an oppressive regime.

As I closed the mailbox, a newfound sense of empowerment filled me. The journey ahead would not be easy, but I had found allies, kindred spirits in the shadows. Together, we would continue to resist, to sow the seeds of rebellion, and to fight for a future where personal connections and individuality were celebrated.

With each step I took on my mail courier route that day, I carried with me the words of the sender. They fueled my determination, reminding me that I was not alone in my struggles. I would continue to deliver the unsealed letters, but now, I would also carry within me the invisible threads that connected us, the whispers of unity and defiance against the Master's oppressive rule.

I don't think it's plausible that you are both red so I'm going to trust you both when you say it's reasonable for CC to trust Rayn in this game. I'm trusting you two to know each other better than I know you. CC isn't completely off the hook with me, she's still probably most red, but not deep red like she would have been if Rayn answered differently.

I'm gonna go to bed, I expect tomorrow we can resolve these claims about lying etc. with some slower posting if need be.


Dont worry it has been good shit already, will get better when the US ppl (who cant fake shit as mafia) come along
