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.

I love fighting Jen in court.

[ He loves doing other things with Jen too. ]

It wouldn't be relevant anyway.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Anyway, there's plenty of unconventional entrances to homes here, so, try again.

[ He shovels some mac in his face. ]

Thought she practiced out of California? What were you doing together in court?

[sine_metu]

It doesn't matter how conventional the entrance if it's locked.

[ Matt will argue just to argue. He's a lawyer that way. ]

She does. I have a client there and he needed me to defend him. It's how I met her.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Again, I didn't break a lock, you let me in. That's not breaking in, that's being invited. If I was a vampire, I wouldn't be dead.

[ He knows Matt's just being a little shit, but he's stubborn as all get out too. ]

Well, how'd it turn out?

[sine_metu]

Vampires can't enter a home unless invited it. It doesn't kill them.

[ He is amused by the confusion. Or perhaps Steve knows different lore than he does but well, it's entertaining. ]

It's good. [ Matt takes a bite just to make Steve relax. ] You're not bad.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I meant your client, against Jen.

[ But he'll take the compliment. With his cooking? He'll take any compliment he can get. ]

[sine_metu]

Oh, I won the case.

[ And there's the smugness. ]

She was good but her client was not.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Sounds like you might be due for round 2.

[ And it sounds like they might be in the courtroom the way Steve likes to be in the gym. ]

[sine_metu]

If the opportunity or need arose, sure. We'll go another round.

[pursuitofcappiness]

You know, you two seem like really good friends.

[ He's. Not good at picking up on these things. ]

[sine_metu]

[ Amused. ]

We get along great.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Both lawyers, both superheroes... I can see that.

It's hard finding someone else who really understands your line of work.

[ He's still not getting it. ]

[sine_metu]

That's why you and Tony work so well together I assume. You both understand the work.

[ Now Matt's just having fun. ]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Oh, are you and Jen --

[ Ah. ]

Damn, that easy to pick out, huh? Guess it's good we're not keeping it a secret anymore. But you know how it is. At home he'd be eviscerated in the press. And I don't think America's ready for it. So, I think that's why he's just a little bit sensitive here.

You understand that, right?

[sine_metu]

It's easy for me. I can smell him all over you. And your heartrates change around each other. He gets excited when he sees you. No one else is picking up on those things.

[ He shakes his head. ]

Your secret is safe with me.

[pursuitofcappiness]

...Thanks.

Though, I'm pretty sure Loki figured it out.

[ Anyway. ]

Won't tell anyone about you and Jen. It's not my business. Neither's your identity, though it'll be difficult keeping that a secret here. Not a lot of superheroes.

[sine_metu]

It's hard to lie to a guy who calls himself a "god of lies".

[ Matt's very skeptical about that god business of the Asgardians. ]

Hey, you can tell people. Jen and I have our fun but I'm not sure we're anything serious. It doesn't bother me at all if people know.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Meant about the other thing, mostly.

And - oh. Well, sure.

[ He speaks nothing of his own status. Not Matt's business. ]

How often do you patrol?

[sine_metu]

When I hear a reason to.

[ It's not often given this place is very peaceful unlike the Kitchen but Matt gets restless. ]

It's quiet here.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Yeah, which is why I'm concerned about all the bruising, Matt.

[ He raises an eyebrow, because Matt doesn't see him. He might be able to feel a little judgment. ]

[sine_metu]

[ He hears it in his voice, mostly. ]

It was a big fight and I'm not a super soldier who heals fast.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Yeah, well, that's why next time you call in the super soldier who heals really fast.

[sine_metu]

We're talking in circles about this. I'm not going to have you fight for me just to avoid a few bruises and cuts.

[pursuitofcappiness]

It's more than a few.

But fine. We can talk about something else.

[sine_metu]

I know your history. You used to get beat up in alleys. You don't really have a leg to stand on for arguing with me about how much I put myself through.
