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.

That's when you have to teach them a lesson or two. Because fuck that. And if you want backup, give me a holler.

Fine fine, leave the inflated egos to the rest of us.

[licensetocrane]

hah! ill remember that if i need backup. whats your name?

[punderworldgod]

Fighting is srs shit.

Baphomet. Yes/no that Baphomet.

[licensetocrane]

youre gonna have to give me context before i yes/no you about that name

[Yup. Hangs around with ninja, knows yokai, is woefully ignorant in many other regards. But she's betting famous figure and/or god at this point.]

[punderworldgod]

Underworld god. Sometimes doubted to be a god (elitist scum). Very real in my world.

[ Baphomet sends a selfie: shirtless with an open leather jacket and black pants, a huge belt buckle of a goat's head. There's fire around his hand, just to show off. ]

[licensetocrane]

hey ive met all kinds here im willin to go on faith that you are indeed a god
underworld as in ushering souls to death etc etc?

[punderworldgod]

Generous of you.
Underworld as in power over death and the dead. I have my own underworld here, but I don't require people to be dead to come to the bar.

[licensetocrane]

youre an underworld god with a bar? thats pretty badass

[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.

[licensetocrane]

oh swings in a bar sounds like its askin for trouble
i hope you have a no drinking and swinging rule

[put April on a swing while drunk and it's immediate regret]

[punderworldgod]

When I was building the place, these little spirits forced a dude I'd never met before and I together. Like clooooooose together. The swings was how we escaped them. Plus they were pleased once we sat on swings with each other long enough.

But uh, no swings without the bartender's permission.

[licensetocrane]

seriously? this place has such weird trials
though i notice most of them are like Be Friendly types, its weird
maybe were all secretly in summer camp

[punderworldgod]

Also had a sphinx show up in the bar one time when I was avoiding too much of the trial (or so I guess) hanging out down there.

I wasn't here for it, but I heard there was a summer camp, the summer before I showed up.

[licensetocrane]

oh yeah thats right i did hear about the actual summer camp
SUSPICIONS INTENSIFY

but srsly a sphinx?? did it have riddles?

[punderworldgod]

You can take the summer camp out of folkmore but not out of the star children?

A sphinx. Took up a huge ass amount of room. It asked uncomfortable questions you wouldn't want to answer upon threat of mauling.

[licensetocrane]

uncomfortable questions like about your life choices? or about stuff like 'are you sure you should be caught dead in that' and 'when was the last time you took a shower'

[punderworldgod]

Pfffft, haha, no about your life. Whether it's to share part of your background you'd rather not, the worst experiences you've been through, and so on and so forth. The real deep hitting shit that makes you consider whether the claws might be better.

[licensetocrane]

...is it just me or are all these trials basically about overshare?

[punderworldgod]

Not all of them, but so many. Good news: if you're someone who overshares, you can blame it on Thirteen now. Blend right in.

[licensetocrane]

lmao on the bright side i can think of a few people who could stand to overshare a lil more

[punderworldgod]

Oh yes, it is made for them. Poke and prod and trap them til they talk. It's definitely made me talk about shit more often. Probably even healthy for me.

[licensetocrane]

fox mandated therapy
with a side order of more trauma if you dont behave
i mean
interesting angle
no worse than homeopathy

[punderworldgod]

Therapist-free therapy. Not certified and not recommended by the NHS.
The water ~*~remembers~*~ (the fox remembers) ha
Dumb thing might be it works sometimes, and I don't think it's the placebo effect.

[licensetocrane]

well some people can stand to get a bunch of shit off their chest ig
sometimes thats all thats wrong too much pressurised bottling

you live in england before this?

[punderworldgod]

Too true. You have to release the pressure to keep calm and carry on.

Indeed. You must be from somewhere with an England if you recognize the NHS.
