The post office is empty and quiet. The
postmaster is still sitting sadly behind
his desk.

"Have you got anything to mail?" he asks
glumly. You shake your head and look
around the post office.

"Hmm, it doesn't look like there are any
jumbled Proverb Prescriptions to be
found here," you say to the postmaster.
"Don't worry, we'll defeat this evil
Saying Spell Verbal von Doom!"

"Sure," the postmaster sighs. "Write me
a letter about it when you're done!"

You and Lexi smile weakly, and then head
off to another part of Truism.
*155
The post office is deserted except for a
bored-looking man behind the counter.

He points to the Saying Spell
floating above him: "Out of sight is out
of mind."

"No one writes letters to anyone
anymore," the postmaster says sadly.
*156
The post office is still empty except
for the postmaster who is sitting
quietly at his desk writing a letter.

He looks up excitedly. When he sees it's
you, he looks sad again. "Still no one
writing letters, eh?" he asks glumly.
*157
The postmaster signs the letter he is
writing and then seals it in an
envelope.

"As for me," the postmaster says, as he
rips open the letter he has just sealed,
"I've been writing letters to myself."

"We've got to do something!" Lexi says.
"Do you want to cast the Proverb
Prescription you are carrying to try to
undo [CSPELL]?"

The post office is deserted. The
postmaster is playing Solitaire.

"I can't stand this!" you say to Lexi.

Lexi taps the satchel that you are
carrying and says, "Do you want to cast
the Proverb Prescription you're carrying
to try to undo [CSPELL]?"
*164
Suddenly, the post office is filled with
hundreds of people. Packages and letters
are everywhere! A young man comes in
carrying a box of cookies he wants to
mail. Another man is drawing hearts on a
small envelope.

You smile at Lexi and together you leave
the post office.
*165
The post office is back to normal. There
is a line of people all trying to send
mail and packages to friends and
relatives far away. The postmaster is
very busy, but very happy.

You and Lexi leave the post office and
return to Truism.
