Writing Fan-Mail for a Rock Star Traveller PC

MortalPlague

Adventurer
Hello folks! I'm running a Traveller game, and one of my characters is an entertainer. She's fairly well-known, sitting at Social Standing 11, and we've decided that she was quite successful. Not a superstar, but definitely a well-known artist.

The ship is just pulling into port, and I'm going to hand out some messages to each character. I want to put a stack of fan mail in front of our rock star PC. Mostly funny, some of it meaningful, but mainly I want a quantity.

If anyone would like to write a quick 'fan message' to our beloved PC, I'd love to use some from a number of different voices. Here are some quick facts about her:

Name: Isla Deerbrook
Genre: Alternative Rock
Hit Song: "Liar, Liar" (feel free to make up names of other songs she's done)

She has long blue hair, and has cosmetic flowers tattooed beneath her skin that bloom and fold. She also has a pet rabbit named Victoria.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. :)

As a quick example or three, here are some that I've already typed up:

From: Cyndel Chaine

OMG I just listened to your song ‘Synthesized Sex’ at 200% speed and I heard the secret message!

That was sooooo smart of you to put in there! I can’t believe I found it. I mean, I listen to all your songs at that speed but what are the odds?

In any case, consider the message RECEIVED. I’m going out right now to buy all the cantaloupe I can find.

P.S. If you ever do another show on Leonora, I will be first in line to buy tickets.

Love you!

Regards,

I find your lustrous blue hair absolutely enchanting. I cannot get it out of my mind.

It is more blue than the sky.

It is more azure than a crystal.

It is more cyan than the engines of the transport barges that service the fueling stations.

It is more sapphire than a sapphire.

It is more indigo than a flag.

It is more teal than a huskertooth’s nose.

It is more iris than the lid of the jar of protein powder on my shelf.

It is beautiful.

It is serene.

It is majesty.


Blue.

Hey Isla,

I just wanted to say I love your music. ‘Liar, Liar’ helped me get over my breakup in a big way.

What are your inspirations? Where do you get your ideas from?

I know you’re busy and you probably won’t read this, but thanks for doing what you do and making music like yours.

Iambic pentameter? REALLY?! You've raised the bar quite high, fair maiden, but mark my words... I WILL best you at this penmanship game. Prepare for my next track - it feature an all-Latin aria complete with three score of ordained Chanting Monks.

Keep up the amazing work!

Some extra ideas for sources:

look at the comments on any popular performer's facebook and leverage heavily

Buy a pack of multi-colored womens panties and insert into envelopes (singularly, not the whole pack)

Buy a pack of multi-colored men's underwear and insert into envelopes (singularly, not the whole pack) (no need to be sexist)

Isla,

Every word you say

Every game you play

Every night you stay

I'll be watching you.

Sincerely,
The Police Man

Dear Isla,

Your music totally changed my life. I got into this real bad funk, and I didn't know where to turn. Then I heard your music. It awoke something inside me. Now I listen to your music all the time, even before I do a show.

I would love to do a record with you.

You are amazing.

Love,
DMC
