Open Call for Papers [Telegram]

[Oishi Shichimenchou]

To whom it may concern,

The Yasha Sojoboy Library is having an open call for submissions to its collection. Aspiring poets, writers, and historians are encouraged to submit their works to us. This is a fantastic opportunity for those interested in entering academia to submit their work for peer review and publication.

Those who submit a paper will receive a free Sherlock Shellingford plushie regardless of whether their work is published.

You may submit your work to either the Yasha Sojoboy Library in Takayama, the Akechi Mugen Room in Leaf City, or the Republic of Letters in the Hidden Cloud Village. Entries may be sent via telegram or courier.

Thank you for your attention,
-The Oishi Family

The above was sent from the Leaf City telegraph office.

Nani enters the telegraph office carrying a stuff frog, when a message came in. She was curious how the contraption worked and watched as the telegraph office staff translates the message. The message did not hold any importance to her until she saw that one line. “Those who submit a paper will receive a free Sherlock Shellingford plushie regardless of whether their work is published!” Like a mad woman she runs around looking for pencil, pen, crayon, chalk, anything you can write with. As a kid collector of stuffed toys, she must have that plushie. She frantically scribbles down a poem:

Little child
Friendless but not
Stuffed animals
Secret keepers
Their silent mouths
Shall not be cracked
Sleeping buddies
Soft and furry
Never dieing
Never aging

She had the poem to one of the staff asking them to telegraph it to leaf. She hopes it will not take long for her to receive her precious plushie.
