First stop, Ms. Lara Elliot. Her large house lies on the cliff of the tallest point in a nearby District of Drusilla family land, the Dova District. Dova's highest point is Nesti Hill, known for its nature preserve. As the smallest of the 44 Districts it makes it easier to deliver the ivy unnoticed.
It's a great place for Lara to inspire herself. As a poet ,like everyone else in her family, her words must flow from nature and it's beauty which makes her house a perfect place to live. Though being alone for such a long time has made her senile.
It becomes very apparent as Lara's hair came into view. The bird's nest that rested on her head was none other than her hair. Her red eyes and brown hair made her look truly insane.
As Sage flew closer to her, Lara's ears began to twitch. " Ahhh, YES!" She yelled," It is FINALLY here. I needed an EDGE in my writing game."
This startled Sage causing him to land unevenly, scratching his underbelly. Scars were not a good thing. You would think he would be used to this.
"Damn it", Sagittarius cried. Lara rushes over to Sage's aid. "Sorry,Sorry, didn't mean to. Just SO excited. Do you KNOW how long I have been WAITING for this delivery. I couldn't find ANYONE in the WHOLE Saki family who come HERE of all places. Then there was tax and delivery fee and..." Lara rambled on and on while Sagittarius patched up his wounds. Then suddenly a clock struck.
Ding Dongs echoed throughout the sky. It was midnight, he was running behind schedule. Yuro was going to kill him.
"I'm running so late, now much did you order.", Sage asked. "FIFTY IVY LEAVES!", Lara unnecessarily shouted. "Shhh!,"Sagittarius stressed. Such a loud woman but she did meet his expectations. Sage counted the leaves and was on his way to the next stop as Lara waved him off.
As Sage left her view Lara began combing out her hair and sipping tea. She cleaned up her staged house and sat on the couch waiting for a certain letter from a certain employee.

The poison ivy patch lies west in a district called Ungar. It is located in a mysterious place called Hidden Leaf, a patch of ivy grows there and it is one of two places in all Drusilla land that can successfully grow poison ivy.
The land is large and mysterious hence the name but there was another thing strange about it that Sagittarius couldn't put his finger on.
Hidden Leaf is a name no ones says out loud, not unless you want to be killed. The police are divided, humans against night critters. That is the only reason this is possible. While they are distracted.
To the general public the Saki family sold medicine. It's the only way they legally own that piece of land.

Southwest of Dova, in the Aria District is a mailman named Phibian Marshall known for working long hours and winning employee of the month, 24 months in a row. Little did anyone know, he used ivy to give him a jolt during his night shift.
Sagittarius shifted into his human form and used his jacket to cover the crate. He didn't want the top buyer getting arrested. Yuro would murder him.
Sage moved around the window trying to get his attention but he was purely focused on his job. "That's employee of the month, for ya", Sagittarius sighed. He moved toward the rear door and entered the passcode. "9737",Sage mumbled.
He entered only to be greeted by an eerie silence. Was he the only employee there? Curious, Sagittarius circled the room looking for an explanation. Besides the files, couch, blood dispenser and mail there was nothing out of the ordinary except the bizarre cubicles.
There were 4 cubicles even though Sage vividly remembers 6 people working here. All but one desk was completely cleared, Phibian's. The desk was a mess with papers and pictures flying everywhere. In the corner of Sage's eyes he caught a wax stamp. Very strange, he thought. The post office didn't use those any more.
He picked it up and looked at the detailed picture on the back. It was a leaf and vines with the letters H and L in the center. The leaf reminded him of poison ivy.
Suddenly Phibian rushed into the room causing Sage to pocket the wax stamp on instinct. His blue round eyes grew wide as he saw Sage standing next to his desk. "Sagittarius?", he asked.
Sagittarius lifted the crate onto the desk. "I'm here with your delivery," he said.
Phibian grew too ecstatic as he saw the poison ivy. Phibian coughed and then quietly asked," May I please have my order?"
"How many?," Sagittarius asked. "200 leaves."he replied. Sage began his counting as it reared 3:00am. "Done!",Sage exclaims. It took Phibian five seconds to realize a problem. "You're off Sage"
Sagittarius saw his error, a leaf was cut down the middle causing confusion. "Sorry.",he whispered. He began compensating the broken leaves. He seemed very angry at himself. Sagittarius may have high expectations for others, he has higher expectations for himself.
As Phibian received his due, they both felt a jolt in their muscles. It must be 3AM. The time when all night critters are at their strongest. He could cut his trip time in half.
Sage said his goodbyes and left the Aria District to the last place on his route, close to the Capital in the Oman District.
The early morning sky began to shimmer meaning it was time for the post office to close. Every door locked and secure as Phibian began writing his report in code. He needed to get it to Lara before dawn.
Phibian searched around his desk to no avail. He began to worry. Where is it, he thought, where is the WAX STAMP! Yuro was going to kill him. So was Lara and all of Hidden Leaf! He's so clumsy, too clumsy.
