I got an unsigned letter on Tuesday. Pretty sure it was Kaeya...

Did you guys have parts of your letters censored...?

[ goes back to zZz now ]

[wisterin]

[ she makes a face. ]

None of my letter was censored, but I was afraid of this.

[ COME BACK WITH YOUR CENSORSHIP. ]

Can you guess the context, or was it all blocked out?

[philandery]

A big chunk of the first sentence was completely blacked out, but he said to start talking to the Staff. There was a name censored too—I think he was referring to Sheila... Said to check up on someone since they weren't with them anymore.

[ sheila coming back from the dead and all... ]

[overruns]

[ cants his head ]

Could you share the entire sentence that had a censored name?

[philandery]

Sure. [ has letter in his pocket i guess: ] Check on █████, as they're no longer here with us.

You think he might be talking about someone else?

[overruns]

[ counts blocks... ]

...Virgo, perhaps.

[philandery]

But they just healed me earlier...

[overruns]

No, I mean... [ hm ] At camp, in the realm of the dead, we had one camp advisor who could still visit us at a time.

I wonder if Virgo was able to go see them, but left recently.

[philandery]

I see... Huh. I'll keep that in mind.

[preowned]

... no.

Censoring isn't that uncommon though. It happened all the time when we sent letters from the camp.

[philandery]

Ah... Guess they can't make things too easy for us.

[preowned]

But it's good to confirm that would happen.

[philandery]

[ he nods ] Glad to be of help.

Do you know of any ways to get around the censorship that've worked in the past?

[preowned]

People try things like making up codes, but it still requires the person receiving it to be able to figure it out.

[philandery]

Like a cipher, right? Or maybe something simpler... Like the first word of each sentence making up secret phrase.

[ he is thinking... ]

[preowned]

Exactly like that! So, we can keep it in mind.

[ :unamused: ]

[philandery]

Heh, let's see what we can do.
