(I am unsure if this explicitly counts as "epistolary" if it's Instant Messaging; but wanted to try experimenting. Also sorry if I get the Doctor and Charley wrong)
WELCOME TO THE CAFE! YOU ARE SIGNED INTO THE NETWORK
MsPollard12: Doctor when you suggested we visit a cafe, I was rather looking forward to something more...
Doctor8: Old-fashioned?
MsPollard12: Luxorious. Like the cafe I used to visit when we would visit Cannes. Such exquisite pastries. This place is..coffee and a lot of computer whatsits.
Doctor8: It's a cybercafe, Charley. Meant to resemble Earth at the dawn of the millennium. In less than a century from your time, most households throughout the world will own one of these.
MsPollard12: It sounds absolutely boring. What's the point of communicating like this?
Doctor8: And someone had to have said that about wireless and telephones as well.
(a *ping* sound effect and on-screen text reading YOUR ORDER IS READY ENJOY)
MsPollard12: Rather chirpy isn't it?
Doctor8: Oh! Our coffees are ready :)
MsPollard12: ...Doctor you're next to me. I can see you smile. Did you really have to type it into this?
Doctor8: It's called an emoticon! You can use them too
MsPollard12: :) ;) :( Gosh, there's so many of them..
Doctor8: This tea tastes...rather odd. How is yours?
MsPollard12: Actually, it's quite good. I'm getting a bit more. Do you want any?
Doctor8: No, but I will have one of those scones :)
MsPollard12: But Doctor I wanted that---ooh! :/
