Not rain not snow not sleet not hail...

Lu Ri and Su Ge deliver the mail.

Chapter later today!

Ohmagah, I would totally read slice of life that centers around Lu Ri's many struggles to set up a mail system 😆

I have changed my mind. I still say choice of outfit for any postal person, but now I want pants for Gou and Xianghua (tight pants!) and skirts for Biyu and girl-type Yun. Hot + cute! (It's possible I've been watching too much of the Ranma reboot.)

Also old - as long as either outfit is available to any mail person, it's all good. (Though I'd still rather see Yun than Gou in that skirt. Unless Biyu and Xianghua decided to rock the pants and complete the set.)

Given historical trends, he posts about 9:30pm my local time, so about a half-hour from now.

And yet Team Fa'Ram are the ones with proper pokemon. Some of the spirit animals map across almost exactly (ex, Washy = Gyrados) but the rest still map closely enough to actual pokemon to make them work as Regional Variants to get the typing right.

Funny thing: the Pony Express was only operational for about a year before the telegram was invented and put them out of business shortly after. They've had a HUGE cultural footprint for how small a thing they really were.

There's a comic series on reddit about a mail delivery order in a DnD world. It's called "The Pos'Thal Order".

Nine hours… N I N E hours… I’m getting more than a little anxious here.

Why does this give me Cells At Work vibes? Oh well, still love it!

Back in the 80s, there was a TV show, I think called Young Riders that was about the Pony Express. Was riding the success of the Billy the Kid movies that had come out.

GTRoid

2024-10-23 01:50:28 +0000 UTC

It'd be like those Pony Express stories, with cultivation world spice. I'd read 'em.

Seaspike

2024-10-23 01:48:05 +0000 UTC

Eight hours... E I G H T hours... I'm getting a little anxious here.

Seaspike

2024-10-23 01:45:53 +0000 UTC

This... might actually be a good read for a one shot. Mail delivery street by street might be boring, but when you've got to go through spirit beasts and bandits and maybe demonic cultivators to get to the next province...

Well, I was replying to an earlier post, in which someone quoted Terry Pratchett's Going Postal, but I muffed up on clicking the correct reply button. By the time I learned that, I'd already started accumulating likes, so I shrugged and kept my head down. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Andrew Denton

2024-10-22 22:40:21 +0000 UTC

So this is what Pokemon's next villain team will look like, huh?

Not rain nor snow nor gloom of night (do not ask us about Mrs Cake)

My mailmen/women have never been this cool!

2024-10-22 22:05:51 +0000 UTC

My sister wears skirts with skin tone leggings/ tights (not sure which). The warm ones with the woolly lining.

Dwayne Parker

2024-10-22 21:36:25 +0000 UTC

Awesome picture. I imagine in a fantasy world with super-humans “realism” is relative. Excellent examples of why I avoid the comments section so often here as well.

Will B

2024-10-22 21:35:54 +0000 UTC

I'm looking forward to Su Ge and Lu Ri getting better acquainted with Bi De. Really all the Elders of the CSS will likely be impressed by our clucky, plucky hero boi.

John D Jones

2024-10-22 21:15:20 +0000 UTC

Thanks for this. I’ve only read Going Postal via audiobook so I had to look it up to place it even though it’s my favorite Pratchett 😜

Cranky Otter

2024-10-22 21:05:47 +0000 UTC

Agree on the outfits. If all the men are covered, the women shouldn’t be dressed like Aeon Flux. I pictured Su Ge would be in buckskin britches, and, if needed while in company, a Cheongsam or Ao Dai over it. Which got me thinking that leggings under pants or skirts are very insulating, but woolen or silk knit leggings are probably kinda saggy without elastic. So maybe Chyuo & Wa Shi’s trip south can also find latex for elastic?

Yeah, the not drinking at all during pregnancy is extremely new. Can confirm that a glass of wine or beer now and again was recommended (and likely still isn’t a big deal in small quantities).

Cranky Otter

2024-10-22 20:49:44 +0000 UTC

Yeah, you guys are right, but I still have a visceral reaction to impractical clothes for the woman while the man is covered comfortably and thoroughly. Call it too many hours of freezing waiting for a school bus! Plus a large heaping of annoyance at women having to dress revealingly and impractically. Call it latent feminism. 😅 But we're not dealing with issues from my youth, fortunately! I will point out to our wonderful author, though, that I believe his youth was showing from two things unrelated here but related to Meimei's pregnancy: 1. The term "baby bump" has only been used for less than 20 years, and 2. Women not drinking at ALL during pregnancy has only been stressed for the past 25 years or so. When my daughter was born, the most popular baby book suggested the pregnant mom have a drink in the afternoon to help her relax! 😬 Times have really changed! 😨

What's it from? It kinda reminds me of Letter Bee, but it's more than a decade since I've read that manga.

Qahlz

2024-10-22 20:12:47 +0000 UTC

Those are cultivators though. They could probably go nude in subzero temperatures and not be bothered at all.

In my mind he was a slightly tired middle manager.

Omg , I pictured luri as a 40 year old dude with grey streaks in his beard and hair. Kinda like a sage but not there yet haha

Patanahi

2024-10-22 18:52:16 +0000 UTC

That's a great picture, but as a fellow female, it seems like Su Ge's legs would absolutely freeze in cold weather! Any chance the winter uniform for females includes a longer skirt? As a kid, I about froze my legs off in cold weather wearing a skirt to school -- back in the day, it used to be mandatory, ugh! -- so I always sympathize with women in impractical uniforms! Yeah, I'm the resident Old Lady here...

Laura Hemly

2024-10-22 18:43:29 +0000 UTC

I think it’s her hat that really gives the same vibe, to me at least

Leon

2024-10-22 18:39:54 +0000 UTC

Just thinking something similar. Reminds me of the town of Durence, from There's No Epic Loot Here, Only Puns, where every single resident is a legendary hero or legendary monster that's gone there to retire.

To be fair, BoC's version of Mrs. cake is Old Lady Shiyun, and she's a lot less problematic.

The GrandMage

2024-10-22 17:37:33 +0000 UTC

Neither bandits nor young masters nor demonic invasions nor unorthodox sects stays these Imperial couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. Don't ask us about: Secret Realms, Slumbering Land Spirits, Shen Yu, The Heavens, Demonic Realms, Shen Yu.

An image of the sect elders is due. We already know what Shen Yu looks like but I want to see Tsuus take on Elders Gr, Ran, Shou, and Yukong

2024-10-22 17:14:01 +0000 UTC

So cute!!! 🥰 And from one artist to another, the art itself is fantastic! The line quality, composition, perspective and just downright, hard-won skill is a pleasure to receive, thank you Tsuu!!!

Angel

2024-10-22 17:12:48 +0000 UTC

That art and the clothing make me think of Air Gear. This version of those 2 wouldn't look out of place pullin a sick trick.
