My dearest Zatanna,
Is one truly necessary? I find there's a personable quality to writing letters. I should hardly think it should serve as a barrier to communication between the two of us.
Sincerely,
The Shade

To Mr. Black;
Your assistance wasgrealty greatly appreciated in the acquisition of what is now being called the Marian Manor. Of course, our dear friend the Earl of Millennium Adam was so kind enough to hand it over to me that I simply kept his name on the lease and now you have to select his name to be called up to the suite.
Though, should you wish to call upon me, I suggest that you perhaps give me some prior notice. I doubt that walking in while my face is between the breasts of a lovely wome an would make me a good host.
Your friend,
General Cross Marian
Apostle of God
General of the Holy Dark Order
Lover Extraordinary
The Great Devirginator
The Ginger Messiah
Should I arrive, the world would be over. Disregard that last title.

General Marian,
I am certain that should the opportunity arise, I would be loathe to find myself with the sight of you in any state of undress. Should the need arrive that we must speak, I shall certainly be at least finding some way of letting you know I shall be by shortly.
-Mr. Black

It has recently come to my attention that I know not of any of those delightful establishments that seem to lack the ... proper foundations in regular business society. I, of course, speak of those rather unique addresses that one can only come by if one knows a certain passcode.
Should you have any sort of remedy for my predicament, I would always be in your debt (do try to take this as metaphorically as possible, you know how I am with money) or perhaps, you could credit me for a wonderful business proposal.
Yours always,
Earl A. Millennium.

Mr. Millennium,
I am terribly sorry to hear that you've had some difficulty with some addresses. I do know how tricky it can be to gain entrance into certain gatherings. Perhaps if you allow me the time, I will be able to assist you in finding what you seek.
Your dear friend,
The Shade

Shade, The ;
It has occurred to me that these past few weeks have been quite serious. Being a gentleman of a very unique constitution, I must say that my sensibilities are quite wrought. So, I propose this to you my dear friend, that the only cure for this ailment is that we seek out as many cures as possible. Preferably in the bottom of a very, very tall bottle.
Cross Marian.
How does The Shadow view this brave new world?

Christine, what a pleasure to hear from you again.
I will admit, I find this world to be only just above the last. The atmosphere is a bit of a change, isn't it? I never thought the fifties would honestly return. I trust your time thus far has been enjoyable?

[ So... Gil hasn't been back in a couple of weeks now. He's been putting this off for too long, so the guilt is laced heavily in his tone as he leaves this message. ]
Hello... it's me, Gilbert.
Um, I know we haven't spoken or seen each other in some time and I apologize for that. Some things came up and I didn't want to trouble you at the time.
I hate to impose as well, but I have a favor to ask. When you have a moment, I'd like to talk to you.

We hope to see you there.

Hey, I hope you check your phone. Can you teach me how to fight? Or is that a thing you don't do? I've been practicing my invisibility and I can stay invisible for a long time now. Figured it's time I learned how to defend myself.

Fighting? I suppose I could do that, depending on what you wish to learn to do.

I don't believe I caught your name last time we spoke, but if you recall our little discussion about favors, perhaps you'd like to know something's come up. I could use your assistance with something...minor.
Get back to me at your earliest convenience if you're interested.

You were right about the ice cream, by the way. Peanut Butter Fudge Cluster was worth the trip alone.

Excellent, excellent. I find my taste in food is worth recommending. Perhaps the next time, you won't have to make such a long journey, if you wish to have company.
Why Gilbert! How nice to hear from you. I thought you knew, I got into a bit of trouble in September.
[ Hope you're in the house Shade, cause Hime's totally yelling for him from the kitchen. ]
MISTER SHADE! HEY, MISTER SHADE, ARE YOU IN?

There's no need to yell. Is there something you need?

[ There's a clock sitting outside the door to Shade's house. It isn't as old or as fancy as the one that Klarion had mangled (and it almost certainly hasn't been paid for!), but the replacement is probably as close to an apology as he's gonna get. ]
[ Later on, Klarion will find a scripted note somewhere in his home, it simply says: "Thank you", complete with a dish of fish for Teekl. ]
