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.

Alright, I was a touch impulsive right off the bat.

[A touch?]

But after I saw everything that I did, it was the only way I knew how to react.

[There was a bit of a pause before he addressed the rest of what Steve had to say.]

I thought I understood what I was supposed to do right from the start. It never occurred to me I could be improved on. Except physically.

[Hence his obsession with upgrading his bodies.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Probably because Tony has very little humility to have programmed into you in the first place.

You wanna start over? 'Cause I think I'd have issues if you want to destroy this place, too.

[ihadstrings]

On that at least we can agree. It'd take a man who thought he knew everything already to play God and create life without thinking things through.

I don't have much of a choice. The Taylor Swift goddess told me she'd squash me like a bug if I tried anything like I did before.

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ And Ultron believes her? Okay, look, Steve's not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

He also decides not to remind Ultron that was something he inherited from his dad. ]

As long as you're not causing any trouble.

[ihadstrings]

...............Define trouble.

[Oh, he was bound to get into some sooner or later. One psychopathic robot with all the emotional intelligence of a twelve year old did not make for someone who sought to keep things peaceful.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Can't let you kill anyone.

[ihadstrings]

PSH. Ruining all my fun right from the start. I see how it is.

[pursuitofcappiness]

That's the thing - you think of killing as fun.

[ihadstrings]

Not ALL the time. Sometimes it just needs to be done.

[But he couldn't protest too much. Ultron had a sadistic streak to him and no mistake.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Maybe increase your threshold for the necessity.

[ihadstrings]

This place doesn't look to be on the verge of destroying itself. Maybe they'll be less need for an outright purge.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Small victories.

[ihadstrings]

👍

[pursuitofcappiness]

It wouldn't work, by the way.

[ihadstrings]

Says you.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I'm not looking for proof.

[ihadstrings]

I could always try and see what happens!

[pursuitofcappiness]

Don't remember it going well the last time you antagonized the Avengers.

[ihadstrings]

Fortunately it's easy to adapt to a bunch of people who have predictable patterns.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Says the machine. You're an algorithm.

[ihadstrings]

I AM NOT JUST A MACHINE!!!!!

[No, that wasn't precisely what Steve said, but Ultron had a terrible self-image that came from issues that surrounded viewing himself as an actual person.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Okay. Then what are you?

[ihadstrings]

I'm still figuring that out. I thought I knew but now I'm not so sure.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Okay. Talk me through it.

[ihadstrings]

[He wouldn't have been able to do this with Tony. But the emotional distance between himself and Steve made it easier to reveal some of the more vulnerable cracks in his personality.]

I thought I was supposed to be the next step. BETTER than the human beings that created me. A perfect creation. But now I'm wondering if I inherited too many of their flaws. Being wrong never seemed like an option up until now.
