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.
(exact use is not required, you can modify them for your character, you can use other sources/random text generators/shower thoughts!)
no subject
They can come. However, we should first check and see if the other me has plans. Oh, and you're going to need more than one cake with that many super soldiers.
Fries are more than fine. But, if you'd like to continue refining your steak and fries, I'd be happy to assist you. Strictly as a taste tester. I'm no good at cooking.
no subject
But if you want to have a guest list, you'll have to work that out with her. I'd hate to invite everyone and you have to be polite to people you don't like at your own party.
Anyway, you know I just want you to have a good time.
no subject
( Peggy's never liked having any sort of fuss made about her. including parties. even as a child. celebrating others, though - even if one of them happens to be a version of herself. oh, that she enjoys doing. )
No. No guest list. Not unless anyone from home also finds themself here.
no subject
[ Coming from anyone else it might sound a little passive-aggressive, but he's being earnest. ]
Where are you now? I'm about to close up at the studio.
no subject
( what better way to familiarize herself with this place than to go exploring? )
Are you close?
no subject
[ Clearly he typed that quickly so he can make his way over fast. ]
no subject
Who, or what, is Greg?
( she doesn't budge from her spot, but does turn her head in his direction when she hears him approach. )
no subject
Greg's a mud creature who tries to kidnap anyone who comes too close to the lakes to marry him.
[ So, yes. He's very much trying to keep him away from Peggy. ]
Might've been successful. I haven't seen him in a moment.
no subject
And you learned of this how? ( she half-teases, biting back a smile.
while noble of him, there isn't any reason for him to worry. Peggy's going to steer clear of the lakes from now on. she has no desire to be anyone's bride. now or... well, never say never.
sliding over, she gives the space beside her a tap. signaling for him to join her. )
Good lord. Can anything be done if he has?
no subject
[ He crosses his arms over his chest. ]
Wanna be on standby in case I shrink a foot?
[ Because he'll go in, but, also no one's been missing as he knows. But, he does warn her: ]
Do me a favor and don't tell Tony. I'm banned from the lake. For Greg reasons.
no subject
she swallows the lump and exhales softly. lighter, )
Besides, who said it had to be you to go searching? ( never mind the fact that she settled on not going anywhere near the lake just moments before! ) I might not have the serum, but I'm one hell of a swimmer.
no subject
[ He softens, thinking about how she might not want to see him in danger again. He'd had to relive that recently, for a trial. It hadn't been a good time. ]
Why don't we just steer clear? If you'd like, we could sit outside the entrance to the Tides. There's a whole ocean.
[ And they don't have to go in to enjoy the salt air and a nice walk. ]
no subject
Only if you're certain you aren't missing anyone.
( if all the people he cares about are accounted for there's no reason to tempt fate. otherwise, she'll be right alongside him.
tilting her head in Steve's direction, Peggy's brows raise. )
Has it got any nasty creatures meandering about? ( a beat. ) Or given anyone a reason to advise you not to go there?
no subject
Especially if you bring him baked goods.
[ Is he joking? Is he serious? ]
But we don't have to go all the way there. And we can take my bike, if you'd like.
no subject
Are there any bakeries we can pop in on the way there? ( because yes, she wants to go. )
I would, actually. I've had my fill of walking long distances for the day. ( hell. maybe the rest of the week. standing she brushes past Steve to make her way towards the bike. ) The last time I was on one, Dum Dum was riding. ( she admits, smile returning. ) He's not half bad, if you can believe it.
no subject
[ He'll hop on his bike and scooch up so that Peggy can take a seat behind him, and offers her his helmet. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it looks like an Iron Man helmet, only it's in Steve's colors. ]
Dum Dum was always a lot more talented than he ever let on.
How is he?
[ Steve is trying not to say how much he misses the Howling Commandos, but aside from Bucky, he hasn't talked to any of them in ages for obvious reasons. ]
no subject
( taking the proffered helmet from him, Peggy turns it over and around. her mouth opens – whether to insist she doesn't need it or to remark about the color scheme or style, he'll never know because she thinks better of it – and immediately snaps it shut. pulling the helmet over her head she climbs up behind him. her hands settle on his waist, steady.
he doesn't need to. she knows. the same way she knows he, and Bucky, are missed by the others. )
He's good. ( there's a tinge of guilt in her voice, though. it's been a few months since she'd spoken to any one of Steve's former team. there'd been more pressing matters (namely zero matter and Whitney Frost) taking up her time. ) He and some of the others are still in Europe. They aided me on a mission involving Howard, and an organization called Leviathan in Belarus, last year. ( '46. )
no subject
[ He starts up driving, and it seems from that little tidbit that they're letting her take on more of a leadership role - he'd always thought she'd be good in such a position, better than most who wind up in it.
It's a little odd hearing Peggy's voice through the modulator, but it's also much easier to hear her as they zip through the streets, being some of the only vehicular traffic on the road. ]
Where are you working out of now?
[ He just assumes that she'd have left to go back to England and when she says Europe she means continental Europe. There's all these gaps in Peggy's story that are missing because it's not like he asked her to recount them year by year. It's lovely to get to hear. ]
