You lie down

Chatterbox: Inkwell

You lie down

You lie down on your bed, opening up your favorite book to re-read for the twentieth time, when you hear a knocking on your house outside. Curious,you go to your window to see what the matter is. You see a kingfisher with a letter tied to its back pecking on your wooden wall, then flying in fromt of you expectantly. You open the window, and the bird flies in. You untie the letter and read its contents:

What an odd invite, you think to yourself. How could something be both superstition-centered and scientific? Were these people mad? And most importantly, why send such a superstition - centered letter on Friday the thirteenth?

A CRUMPLED LETTER FOUND IN THE TRASH BIN OF SUMMER ON THE EVE OF THE THIRD NIGHT

My dearest, beloved guests,

It has come to my attention that your experience at White Oak have begun to be less satisfactory than I promised in the letter I wrote. In response, I arranged time to write a new letter to those recently perturbed. Make no mistake: I never expected this to happen. If I did, why would I send you the invite? And yet, despite the obvious fact that I have no part nor blame for the recent incidents, I find an abnormal wish-no, a responsibility to beg a pardon of forgiveness from each roomer- yes, even those unaffected by the recent catastophes. For I know that being unaffected by negative happenings does not warrant someone unwounded, especially in the recent calamity

So, I am unbeliavably sorry. I say this on behalf of me, Wren, and anyone else this letter's recipitents hold grudges against.

Signed, 

Estella Opafru

Uh.... I wrote down all the letters in italics and got this:

Whatwrngithnyyousponnrinmindnamyourphoneacandanweryo-ullfind

I found very few actual words in this, the best I could do was:

What wrng it hny you sponnrin mind n am your phone a can d an wer you'll find

What it you mind am your phone a can an you'll find
And here's a random guesswork bit, with stuff added in, that still makes no sense:
What's wrong it honey do you mind I am your phone at canan you'll find
This is probably wrong but hey I tried.

Sorry, I've been gone! But, er, I've had looooots of drama and weird stuff happening. Soooo, I'M BACK PEEPS! Anyway, here's what I got from it. So if you go to the second thing Nyx wrote;

What it you mind am your phone a can an you'll find

So, if you write it normally, like a poem...

What it is you mind 

And in your phone, you'll find...

That's what I got.. So... ;/;

I'd ask you to try again and look a bit closer, but I'm told I'm not allowed to speak with you.

@Nyx I got:

"What's wrong with Nyx? You ponder in mind name your phone ace and answer you'll find..."

Ace is the name of Fleet's phone!
