A Telegram [Free RP]

[Oishi Shichimenchou]

Telegraphy was all the rage in the more civilized parts of the Continent. It was a communication device that allowed almost instantaneous communication between one person and another person through the usage of a bit of string. There is only one catch; you must know Morse code.

For example the following message was sent from the telegraphy office in the Hidden Leaf Village to the Hidden Sand Village. It could only be read by those who understood Morse code. Anyone else would just see a sheet of paper with gibberish dots. Was there by chance anyone in the Hidden Sand Village who knew Morse code?

[Seki]

On an off day, seki found entertainment reading out going and In going messages from telegraphers. Never having bothered dealing with a tv because the human interest stories more often than not sensationalized. Instead he found the action of reading peoples intimate conversations far more entertain and informative. It only took a couple yen here and couple yen there to provide this often wonderfully juicy piece of entertainment.

The day he slipped a couple more yen than usual was of course a slow "news" day. Nothing more than some boring family conversations about cooking roast had come up. That was until particular message from leaf appeared. Offhandedly potentially asking if he or anyone else would commit treason. Not ever being particularly loyal and very bored he was curious and replied back.

Not too much after the Jounin sent his initial reply did a new telegram appear. It would seem that whoever had sent the first telegram was still in the Leaf telegraph office and had noticed that they had gotten a quickly reply.

 

[Seki]

It only took moments to receive the next correspondence. It was a simple reply and completely validate his suspicion of treason. I took of meanderings back and forth before he'd chosen his course of action.

.. .----. .-.. .-.. / - .... .. -. -.- / .- -... --- ..- - / .. - .-.-.- / -.. --- / -. --- - / ... . -. -.. / ..-. ..- .-. - .... . .-. / - . .-.. . --. .-. .- .--. .... ... / --- .-. / -- .. ... ... .. ...- . ... / -.-. .- .-.. .-.. .. -. --. / ..-. --- .-. / - .... .. ... / .- -.-. - .. --- -. / .-- .. - .... .. -. / ..--- / -- --- -. - .... ... .-.-.- / .. .----. .-.. .-.. / .-. . .--. .-.. -.-- / .-- .. - .... .. -. / - .... .- - / - .. -- . / .. ..-. / .. .----. ...- . / .- -.-. -.-. . .--. - . -.. / --- .-. / -.. . -.-. .-.. .. -. . -.. .-.-.-

after finishing his reply Seki destroyed any trace of his conversation. by simply crumpling up the messages and burning them with a simple fire jutsu. than returned to his previous activity. Spying on the personal lives of his neighbors. Yet again, they were talking about the roast, which resulted in him letting out a frustrated sigh.

No further telegrams were sent. Why they stopped isn't clear. It is possible that the last telegram said something about stopping the telegrams. It is possible that the business between the two people operating the telegraphs had concluded. It was also possible that the person on the Leaf telegraph office had gone to get a bagel.
