Honest Mail by Metsuki

Metsuki and I decided to be a little more extensive with this one. In that we decided to see if hand made postcards stood a better chance of being mailed than a prepared one.
We took a notebook page full of random drawings a non-player friend I did during one of our health lectures. After tracing a notecard sized rectangel on the back of the page, we did a little cut 'n paste and created our postcards.
Next came the decision of what to write on the back of them. The chance to spread randoms insights was too good to pass up. For our regular postcards I had Metsuki chose three different songs he was infuated with, and I pulled quotes from three different books lying around my desk. Kudos to you if you know any of the songs, or which person I quoted (fictional or real).
Once we had our postcards all ready to go, Metsuki and I headed to SW Portland. We figured our postcards would have a better chance of being noticed by anybody in that part of town. As we wandered around we left them in various places we discovered. All was going good, till we ran into him. Mister Portland litter collector. We had planned to leave on our final postcard in that area, but as we watched him we feared he would mistake our postcard as trash and throw it away. To undermine any suspiscioun of us watching him, and trying to take his picture, Metsuki and I pretend to be very interested in photographing the nearby buildings. Finally coming to the conculsion that this area was no good, we moved onto to leave our last postcard in a safer place.

So far two of our postcards have turned up. Neither of them being the hand made postcards to my dissapointment; Metsuki could have cared less. He was more interested in seeing if someone had wrote anything on our mailed postcard.
Both postcards seem to be in the same condition as they were when we left them behind. Though the "Seattle" looks like was stuck to something then been ripped off whatever it was stuck to.

No postcards today. I've come to the conculsion that no one found our postcards or that if they did, they kept them for themselves. I know I would. Metsuki is still holding out hope that someone will mail it to us, or send us some sort of randomnized response. But seeing as we left for home today, we won't know if we've recieved any more till early Januaray, (when we return).

wow, this is such a great task! well done. they'll come eventually i'm guessing, unless the postman has stolen them.
I think you need to wait a bit longer - more postcards may come!
