DPP: Written Word

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

I loved this challenge from twelvecolonies and thought I would bring it over here for today.

Write a letter from a BSG character to another BSG character Kara to Lee or Lee to Kara (or Kara or Lee to someone else if you so desire), as if you are the character. It can be about whatever you think they would write about. You can type it out in the comments or create a graphic with it.

Rules:

1.       It must be Battlestar Galactica related.

2.       It must be FROM a canon character to another canon character. You may not make people up for this challenge.

3.       Only one entry per member.

4.       It must be posted to this entry as a comment.

5.       Team name must be included.

6.       Letter must be 100 words or less.

7.       If you make it into a graphic, it should be no larger than 400x400 pixels

Okay so most of these rules really applied to the challenge community, but I thought it would be good. In case you need some help thinking up ideas I yoinked a few non-K/L examples from the comm.

Example 1:
Dualla,

Ballots in aft compartment 1701-D - between hangar deck and polling station; should be easy to execute switch. Will call you if needed.

Remember, this is on us. Our idea. Anyone finds out, Roslin never knew - anyone thinks she did, say hello to Baltar, President for frakking life.

Burn this.

Tigh.

Example 2:
Dear Head!Six,

I would prefer not to appear to be speaking to myself right now, so this is the only other way I could think of to gain your attention. Please leave me alone today. I can’t be seen speaking to myself in front of the Quorum. It’s not particularly good for my image. Starbuck is still giving me strange looks after that incident in the lab.

Also, I have no idea what’s going on as I’m writing this to you instead of paying attention. So I’m useless anyway.

Sincerely,
Gaius Ba-oh there you are.

Example 3:
Dear Felix,

I'm sorry you lost your leg. I'm sorry you tried to commit mutiny on the Demetrius against me. I'm sorry Dee died and made you crazy, so you locked up my friends, my husband and a little girl. I'm sorry you were mad at the Admiral about our Cylon alliance and you wanted to kill everyone who thought staying alive was a better plan. I'm sorry one of your supporters shot Sam and took him from me.

Most of all, I'm sorry I didn't flush you out the airlock when I had the chance.

Good riddance,
Kara

Oh, I am SOOO coming back later to write a letter. Stupid job.

[thrace-adama.livejournal.com]

Lee,

"I couldn't have done it better myself." There, you have it in writing. Happy now, you smug bastard?

Kara


(I know, not the most original letter. But there you go. It needed to be here, I think. :) )

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

Awwww <3

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

HA! That's awesome!

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

Perfect!!!

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

LOL!!

[eugis.livejournal.com]

Hee, this is awesome! :D It truly needed to be here.

[cosetteferaud.livejournal.com]

Hee, so cute!

[damao2010.livejournal.com]

LOL.
Originality is overrated, anyway.

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha ... Love the Baltar one!

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

I really can't write this stuff guys, so apologies in advance if these are lame. Just wanted to contribute :-)

Starbuck,

When I say report to my office at 0-800, I mean report to my office AT THAT TIME. This is not a debate. It's an order Lieutenant and in case you want to spend more time in the brig, I suggest you follow my orders next time.

Captain Adama
CAG

(handwritten) PS Hated that we didn't have time to finish what we started this morning K. I'll have to make it up to you next time. Love you. L.


Captain,

I believe you are fully aware of the reasons for my being late Apollo.

Starbuck

(handwritten) PS I know you have your doubts about my hygiene, but even I'd like to take a shower after four hours and six times in a dirty storage locker Lee. Love you too.

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

That's very cute! I'm grinning. I love the banter. Well done.

Some pre-academy happy:

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Kara,

Okay. Time's up. I need an answer. Two weeks, three days and seventeen minutes are too long to keep a man waiting. Graduation is in five days and I'd like to introduce you as my fiancee. Is it happening or what?

Lee

--------------------

Lee,

You are such a pain. And impatient. I should say no just because you are bugging me about it.

But I won't.

I'll see you in two days.

Love, Kara

Re: Some pre-academy happy:

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

See? You just rock at this. Love.

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

Here goes my horrible attempt at this:

Lee,

How could just abandon me like this? I'm stuck here Cottle yelling me. So when are you finally coming to give me that sponge bath? I've got all kinds of ideas running in my head thanks to you.

Kara

Kara,

I'm the CAG, damn it! I just can't run out from a meeting to give a bath. I'll be there in 30 minutes, just gotta ditch the President and my Dad.

Lee

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

HEEE!!! I'll be there in 30 minutes.

I LOVE IT!!

These letters are making me SOOOOOOO happy!

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

I know they are fun! It was either 30 minutes or I'm right outside but that wouldn't have worked.:D

[eugis.livejournal.com]

Dad,

Please, don't ever make me have dinner with Ellen Tigh again. EVER.

Lee

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

LOL

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

Ellen,

Please, stop groping the boss's kid. It doesn't help my chances of going to work drunk and not getting in trouble.

Saul

Saul,

You're pissed because you don't want the wrath of Starbuck for me eyeing her man.

Ellent

[thrace-adama.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha, oh, those Tighs! You just gotta love 'em.

You're pissed because you don't want the wrath of Starbuck for me eyeing her man.

Damn straight! :)

[olaf47.livejournal.com]

Apollo,

Next time I walk in the head to find a toilet seat up, you are not getting any sex ever. (Okay probably for only like a week, or a few days, or however long I can take it, but longer than you want, okay?)

-Starbuck




Starbuck,

Problem should be taken care of. I threatened to throw Hot Dog out an airlock.

-Apollo

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

hahahaha!!! Starbuck and her "threat" to withhold sex. Perfect.

[helikedmyshoes.livejournal.com]

Lee,

If it's a boy, we are naming him Leland Jr.

-K



Kara,

NO.

Love,
Lee

[jeebs83.livejournal.com]

lolz.

[zenzero42.livejournal.com]

Kara and Lee,
my beloved kids,
the president found a used condom in my office and she is driving me crazy because she thinks I'm cheating on her with Ellen. Go figure!

Now, you listen to me very carefully:
1. My desk is not for that use! (unless it is between me and the president...)
2. You will spend the night in the brig as a punishment.
3. Two separated cells, this is suppose to be a punishment.

Love you both also if you are making me crazy,

Daddy

p.s.: I really want to be a grandpa so, if you really need to have sex on my desk, at least make it worthy.

[ninjamonkey73.livejournal.com]

LOL

Post-finale, Lee collects messages for Kara

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

Good morning, my love.

I have some messages for you -

Helo says he understands.

Cottle says you're an idiot, and the next time some disembodied presence tries to lead you to a higher plane, you should pay more attention to not crashing the one you're in. I've gotta back him up on that.

Hera says you look beautiful.

Narcho says he's sorry about the mutiny and the supply closet. (Never tell me).

Kacey has a little sister, now. Her mom let her choose the name. It's Kara.

Tigh says he's sorry if he gave you bad advice one morning. He sends his best to you, and to Sam, too.

Ellen hugged me, nicely. I attribute that to you.

Romo told me a long and convoluted story, but honestly he would have done that anyway.

Hot Dog says thanks for teaching him to fly.

My dad...*our* dad says he's with Laura at dawn, like I'm with you. He says not to be afraid for us.

I don't think about all we might have had. I think about all we did have. Thank you.

- Lee

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

*sniff* Beautiful.

Post finale, Kara collects messages for Lee

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

Good morning, my love.

I have some messages for you -

Zak says you're still his hero. He also says you're getting uglier every day and you should totally lose the beard. I've gotta back him up on that.

Billy and Dee send their best. Billy says he may have to punch you on principle, but all's well that ends well. Dee says to hug the Old Man for her, and to take care of yourself.

Sam says hey. He's sorry you two lost touch over that last year, but he says thanks for being there when he needed you, and for teaching him that trick with the Tauron double-loop. (Never tell me).

Your mom says she's sorry, and that she loves you more than you'll ever know.

Gianne says to tell you it's a boy, and they're both okay. They send their blessings.

Laura says you were born to be smarter and righter. She's so proud of you.

And me...what can I say?

You know I'm yours.

~ Kara

[damao2010.livejournal.com]

Lovely.

[ninjamonkey73.livejournal.com]

Lee,

I apologize for my atrocious behavior at the card game the other night. I've done some thinking and I really should have seen it coming, what with cutting in on the two of you at the dance and all. Anyway, in case Lt. Thrace doesn't return from Caprica with the Arrow of Apollo, I thought you should know that she may have ended up in my bed on Colonial Day, but it was your name on her lips.

You over-achieving, pompous son-of-a-bitch.

Sincerely,
Gaius Frakking Baltar, Vice President of the Twelve Colonies

~~~~

Lee,

Don't be mad. The president asked me to, and I decided to just do it before I changed my mind. I really wish I didn't have to leave before we patched things up, but... I really am sorry.

K

PS: If Baltar says anything about me, try to remember the man talks to the bulkheads. He's out of his frakking mind.

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

Hee! Very cute. Thank you!

[ninety6tears.livejournal.com]

Mister Leland-

I came by to frak you. You were not home. Therefore, you are gay.

-K

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

I have no word!:D

[girl-islanded.livejournal.com]

Hello! I'm a frequent lurker/visitor, but never post... But this is too much fun to pass up! Hence, my sorry attempt as follows:

"Lee, I just want to let you know that since you placed me on double CAP and I'm exhausted, I'm in no frakkin' mood to be on top tonight. So you're just gonna have to use your big manly man muscles to flip me onto my back and pound me senseless until I come. I'm also so tired I may not be able to emit any coherent sounds apart from some breathless panting, moaning, and whimpering, but perhaps you'll get a scream from me. Just so you know. ~K"

"Kara, thanks for sending me that lovely and descriptive missive as I was meeting with the PRESIDENT OF THE FRAKKIN' COLONIES. Thankfully, I carry around a notebook with me, that's only just large enough to hide my excitement behind. I may have developed a crick in my wrist from holding said notebook *just so* to provide the greatest coverage. Which may prevent me from administering suitable punishment for your sauciness. Suck it. ~L"

"L, promise? K"

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Ha! That is very cute! I love his reaction and IN A MEETING!! So great!

And welcome - I'm glad you de-lurked!! Hope to see you at the next re-watch! (Tonight, I believe.)

[olaf47.livejournal.com]

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,

Remember when Zak and i used to drunk call you???? Welllllll I know how much you liked it so i thought i'd send you a drunk note!!

SeriousLee (hahahahahaha) we never drink together anymore. The worlds ended and you became CAG-with-a-stick-up-his-ass. LET'S GET DRUNK. Kay, deal.

LOVE! (no takebacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
-K

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

I envision Lee sitting there trying to make out the scribbles of this drunk letter.
