Letter Bee
In a world with a dim artificial sun,people still send and recieve letters using Letter Bees,members of the Amberground National Postal Service. While most letters are paper,anything with the proper postage and correctly filled out shipping label is carried. Thus begins the relationship of Gauche Suede and Lag Seeing,the "package" with a properly filled out label stuck on his arm,the correct postage paid and left chained to what once was a mailbox at the address of a recently destroyed home in the remotest of part of the postal route.
