Reflections
Dearest Dadums,
Hey Daddy. How are you? I'm great. I'm learning a lot.
Just so you know, Captain Fletcher could give you lessons on glowering. Yes, we're talking professional level dad-disappointment. It reminded me of you, so I thought I'd write.
Also, can you do me a favour? If you're dealing with House Solaris now or in the near future, can you be extra careful and have the research team do some real deep digging on them, please? Sorry, I can't tell you anymore: pirate stuff n' all. You know…
In my travels I haven't had a lot of time for love, but I've heard stories that dating is generally terrible. Well, fellow traveler, I'm here to tell you they're all true.
I was very excited to attend a party, and I took the opportunity to bring a date! My hands were sweating like a frost giant in a sauna. I asked, and I was pleasantly surprised (and subsequently terrified) when she said yes!

BOUNTY OF BRAITHEWAITE BREAK-INS
Bother Braithewaite reports that numerous copy-catburglars have been making themselves free of his offices, likely as a result of the persistent rumour that the late Captain Smee entrusted him with a map of great value as part of his estate. Braithewaite comments “There are no more maps. No more maps! I barely have furniture left.” The Volos Volunteer City Watch reports…

DUNCAN’S DRUBBING

Dear Mr. Gnat King Cole,
