 The thing to note about this avatarmail is that it really doesn't request or demand anything. It is simply stating that Drusilla is applying to become a member of the Arcane Consortium. It expresses a desire to join them, but it is more painting a picture of what she is planning to do. The biggest thing, however, is that it is being written in the first person, and so, the avatarmail itself is in-character. The thing to note about this avatarmail is that it really doesn't request or demand anything.

 PC notes are fundamentally important when creating a paper trail and history for your character. Not only do they allow you to keep notes for things to remember about your character, but also allow avatars to look at your notes and get a better idea about the past, present and future plans your character has going forward. Maybe there is something about your character that is a perfect hook for an ongoing plot an avatar is running. Or maybe by thinking through your notes, you've become more entwined with your character, creating a history and host of memories. PC notes are fundamentally important when creating a paper trail and history for your character.
