i don't think my handwriting is much better than it was last time i worked in the dustbowl anyway.
Candidate Barracks
Perhaps the safest place in the weyr, these barracks: the stonework here is old, perhaps as old as the weyr is itself, for the uncanny cleanliness of ancient stonecutters marks neat corners and perfect arches. Richly-lit by glowlight, tapestries reflect scenes of yore from the walls - dragons flaming, holders farming, and one particularly well-made that depicts the impression of a dark-haired girl to a light-toned gold dragonet, dripping and fierce. The barracks themselves are open-air, with not even a curtain to divide the space of male from female. Bunk-bed style cots line each wall, hammocks strung along the middle for those unfortunate enough to lack the privacy that an adjoining wall brings. There are privies in the back and locker-style item storage in the front, and one especially large table next to a book-case filled with basic Harper texts.
dear tope,
everyone else is writing letters so i am writing one as well in order to make it look like i have someone to send it to. i mean, i do, if i were so inclined to, but it would be pretty absurd if i just sent you a letter suddenly out of nowhere after all this time right?

southern is nice. for the most part. there are some things that are less nice but it is mostly typical weyr things you would know i wouldn't like anyway like having to share baths and
i got searched about oh a bit over a month ago now? i like rocketh, he has a good taste in scents. unfortunately he already has a rider. i don't know how i feel about dragons still, i figured i would accept candidacy to figure out the answer and i … still don't know how i feel about dragons. not about dragons in general, i like dragons just fine but am not sure how i feel about having one.
definitely do not want a gold one. there is a gold one so i have to be sure to stay as far away from that egg as possible. i have not touched it (i hope it isn't offended) and do not want to get too close either. just in case it somehow reads me or something and decides to try to come after me. there are lots of people who do want a queen so i will just also stay far away from them just in case.
not … always. just on the sands.
we do a lot of swimming. several of the candidates like swimming or are learning to swim and i'm sampling deep waters.
got another firelizard. another blue. i think he came from the wildling candidate whose whole name i can't spell's gold. i like him, though. the firelizard and the candidate, rhu, let's go with that.
i'm still terrible at sewing.
i used my sales skills to convince people to do it for me. suggested by the same person who searched me, i have decided he is smart. there are other people from igen here, girls; one from the rokuul enclave-that-isn't and the other one is from the weyr. i don't know if you know them. n probably does but only knows who they are as opposed to knowing them well.
so,
that should probably be it because i'm running out of paper,
you probably won't write back because i am not actually going to send this,
