1 April Edition TFLN

Welcome to Folkmore's Texts From Last Night meme, April Fools edition! See, Thoth learned about April Fools from reading Chaucer but enjoys that it's an ongoing thing. Thoth's switched things up. Initial messages (aka top levels)—all set April 1st ICly—maaaaay go to the wrong person! So not all hell breaks loose, replies carry forward with whoever you've reached, but you might be texting your innermost intoxicated or sleep deprived secret to someone you don't even know.

If you'd like to opt out of misfires, please include this in your top level (by prompt or overall). Otherwise, enjoy indulging Thoth's amusement and building some new CR.

This meme can be used as a branch off from our Test Drive Memes and be used as game canon or just for casual fun in the setting! You do not need to be in our game or be invited to play on our TFLN. This can be a great way to meet current players for future invites, get a feel for the setting, or just have some fun.

This can be used for samples on our applications and as spoons for players accepted into the game.

[ And Diluc, predictably, orders apple and grape juice. This he even pays for— both his and Kaeya’s drinks, by taking out his spoon. ]

Mm… well, I hope I don’t disappoint.

[ The idea of learning to shift into a dragon, he has to admit, feels rather daunting. It isn’t like using his Vision, or wielding a sword. This is something else entirely. He can’t even imagine undoing the very fibers of his being to rearrange themselves into a new shape. He knows Kaeya wants him to learn and get his footing as soon as possible so he can be safe and Diluc wants to as well, in order to assuage his fears, but he has to be realistic: shape-shifting successfully and easily does not strike him as something mastered in a day. ]

We’ll see.

[apuckalypse]

[Yeah we don't talk about the Great Panic Attacks of '23.]

yeah it's amazing! I think Hunter can make a teleportation glyph down there too, if we can convince someone to let us draw it somewhere permanent.
maybe someday I'll be able to teleport myself down there

[licensetocrane]

high five for us talkative types!!
but honestly i think you should use it to buy a giant playpen full of fake coins we can gently lock the politician in
instead of paying taxes

[iamawolf]

Words?

What kind of... teacher?

[licensetocrane]

you get dealt seven cards and you win by emptying your hand
cards are four different colours and numbered 0 to 9
and some special cards like Skip and Reverse and Draw Four
you draw a card each round! and you can get rid of one card but it has to match either the colour or the number of the one before it
so making the next player Draw Four can lead to violence

i could teach you if you want its a perfectly peaceful game if youre not playing it with four teenage boys

[She's just as bad as they are. But, you know. Siblings.]

[mightysmall]

I guess I could run out and get a pair of heels for myself but I don't want to copy you.

What would you like me to wear?

[licensetocrane]

[I mean honestly, Dee has a point.]

tell him to learn common safety or hes banned from the next bonfire gathering
or something

[shadowsincryo]

You won’t. Today is to get used to finding the magic within it. That’s the first step and it will take time to get used to that part.

[He is a realist. And more importantly he has the ability to gauge something. As a captain and a teacher.]

Let’s go. I’ll fly us out there. [It won’t take long to get everything packed away in a basket. He can carry Diluc and the basket both.]

[agiantbird]

You know what? I feel like I should save everyone the trouble, and just ban him now. It'd be easier for all of us in the long run.

[spktr]

Oh my days.
I'm picturing Scrooge McDuck swimming through a sea of fake coins.

[uncrownedawn]

Hmm.

[ Diluc cocks an eyebrow at Kaeya mentioning flying again. ]

I am beginning to think you enjoy carting me around. Is this my comeuppance for all those times I lugged you around in our childhood?

[shadowsincryo]

[He laughs. He purchases the basket for their goods and carefully packs them away inside.] It does have that feel doesn’t it?

[Diluc did drag him places when they were kids. He was bright eyed and eager to explore with a friend. He makes sure the basket is good and securely bound before he says,] A bit. But, I think my reasons are the same as yours. I’m just enjoying having you here and showing you the wide world I’ve been exploring.

[uncrownedawn]

[ Diluc pauses in his steps at that. It’s a sweet sentiment. Sweeter words than he’s heard pass Kaeya’s lips in quite a while. And so openly sincere and honest. Kaeya really has changed. He’s grown.

He takes the basket from Kaeya, then takes his hand and guides him away from the shops so he can have more space for his shift. He’s still as ridiculously strong as ever and hardly seems to notice how heavy the basket is. ]

[punderworldgod]

Hand built by yours truly. There's bar stools. There's booths. There's even a pair of swings that can swing back through the wall.

[shadowsincryo]

[The space is enough for his scale created form. He takes the scale out with his free hand. It is a good way to show Diluc the first glimpse of the magic within the scale.

He kisses the back of Diluc’s knuckles and lets go of his hand.] So, I don’t always have to use Dvalin as a frame to shift. I have a different frame I can use from all the memories of other lives.

I can make a smaller version on my own. But for the full size? The scale is needed.

[He takes a step back as he focuses on the magic in the scale. He lets it pour out and into him. Icy flames spill out of his mouth and flood the space. Kaeya is no where to be seen but the flames are all around Diluc. They twist into a storm of fire that goes up and up, until a massive western styled dragon body can be seen as the flames condense. He towers over head. His front paw is as large as a small building. His scales seem carved from ice. Sleek, graceful. He is built for speed and magic. His wings spread wide, refracting the light through the seemingly delicate panes of ice that shape them. His horns glow with a soft pale blue light as do the ridges of his spine and tip of his tail. Icy breath spills from his mouth in a puff of cold.

He lifts his hand and turns it, presenting it as a platform for Diluc. His voice is deeper, resonating with power.] Don’t worry, your flames can’t melt the Northern Star.

[The magic filling the air feels ancient. Unmistakably draconic but so old it feels like walking on Dragonspine. Kaeya laughs and the sound is a deep rumble. He possessively curls his vast body around Diluc.] The first step with the scale is finding the draconic magic that is so unlike ours. You let the scale be your vision.

[goodtobebad]

Beats me. Is there a difference? If God is the one who gave you the free will in the first place, then what?

[idkmybffspandex]

Legal emergency sounds perfect. You can hit me with the "Rue is suing Tony for custody of the kids" and I'll escape that way.

[idkmybffspandex]

I'm sure it won't be anything close to well-adjusted.

Lots of cream and a packet of sugar.
How 'bout you?
Maybe we can get Iron Wee Woo to spring for another fancy espresso machine.

[sine_metu]

Hopefully neither are around to overhear.

[ironypoisoned]

...Fine, fair criticism. I was kinda having my midlife crisis when I made you. My uh. Fifth one, or so.

Your argument really falls apart when I recall that you shot one of them.

[supersmashbro]

YES do that
animal homework! you're gonna love em.

[idkmybffspandex]

I know not to put you on speaker and neither of them have your hearing. [ Probably she hopes. ]

[sine_metu]

Can Tony hear past his own ego?

[idkmybffspandex]

I think ego is his only sense.

[sine_metu]

Which might be as sharp as my own.
