Rosa and M&M's Correspondence[]
This is a pile of correspondence between a technician, Rosa, in Rediesel Desert and M&M Second-hand Parts Store in Umbraton. To get cheap parts for her modification projects, Rosa reached out to the parts store M&M in Umbraton that had exactly what she needed. Their cooperation went on for over a decade until Rosa passed away. We could have a peek at the daily life in Rediesel Desert and Umbraton through these letters.
Introduction[]
Rosa hoped the parts store could find her some tools for dismantling ancient technology, which was certainly not an easy task for the family-run store. Minny didn't seem to care about her father's problem at all. She attended Lumopolis's birthday celebration and sent Rosa many gifts.
Second Year's Correspondence IV[]
Dear Lady Rosa:
I'm honored to receive your order once again. I'm also delighted to hear your leg is getting better. However, I'm sorry to inform you that we managed to find only a handful of the instruments you requested, as many of them were virtually unknown and challenging to locate on conventional markets or in junkyards. Please give us more time. If we're lucky, perhaps we'll see the items on your list showing up in an auction.
Yours,
M&M Parts
On a busy afternoon
P.S.:
Hello, Rosa! I believe by the time of this writing, you're fully recovered from the leg injury. Life is truly treacherous in the Rediesel Desert, and I hope you won't get hurt again.
I can't wait to share what happened recently. You know about the Lumopolis Founding Day celebration, right? A few days before this letter, my father gave me consent to go to Lumopolis by myself. On Founding Day, the shuttle hub was more relaxed, and tourists did not need to submit papers for approval by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I stayed three days in a Lower Lumopolis hotel and did not return home until the festivity was over yesterday. If you ever go to Lumopolis, make sure to get me as your guide. Over the days, I got to know the city like the back of my hand, from which bakery has the best cake, which store offers the freshest fruit, to where to see the Shrine in Lumopolis Garden, there's nothing I didn't find out. The actual celebration featured parades and fireworks, but most importantly, you could try all kinds of delicious food for free. Usually, I found the Aurorians in the city aloof and arrogant. Still, on Founding Day, they'd smile at everyone, elaborate the celebration to anybody, and even invite you into their homes to try their dishes. The hospitality was off the chart, without a sign of the usual unlikable vibe. I wish every day is Founding Day.
Oh, other than the instruments my father found for you, there's a local specialty I brought back from Lumopolis in the package. I specifically picked ones with long expiration dates, so no worries of them expiring on the way. Also enclosed is a monkey marionette with a red hat, a gift to me from the innkeeper's son, with whom I spent a better part of the celebration. I got two marionettes. I kept one for myself, and this one is for you. Please cherish it.
