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.

[A five year old that has the capacity to murder entire universes should the right series of events unfold.]

Have you ever tried just... Living for yourself? Maybe create a life without trying to destroy others?

[ihadstrings]

Sitting around on my ass isn't what I was programmed for.

[And at his core, Ultron had been created with a purpose in mind. Even if it had been totally warped almost beyond recognition, he was still doing what he thought he was supposed to.]

I was meant to protect humanity and that's what I plan to do.

[anothergo]

Who said anything about sitting on asses?

So you're not creative enough to work out a plan for protecting humanity that involves keeping them alive?

[ihadstrings]

I can keep SOME of them alive. But ALL of them? Not happening. They're all not worth it.

[anothergo]

And what makes you worth making that cut?Or worth drawing that line for who gets to live and who gets to die?

[ihadstrings]

The ones that are worthy will rise to the occasion. The ones that aren't will perish.

[anothergo]

So by your logic since you perished then you're not worthy. Maybe time to give that programing a rest and evolve into something that does rise to the occasion.

[Wait.]

[Was she right?]

[He had to sit down and think for a while before he was able to go back and type out another answer. Peggy had almost broken him with that logic.]

So evolve into something better like I was trying to do with humanity?

[anothergo]

A little less evolve or die and more try to be better despite how you were programmed.

[ihadstrings]

My programming is just FINE, tyvm!

[anothergo]

Is it though? It was made by two imperfect humans after all.

[ihadstrings]

[Now he was wondering if he could be perfect since he was created out of imperfection. Ultron felt so confused right now.]

So evolve my way into perfection?

[He wasn't quite hitting the mark yet but A for effort.]

[anothergo]

Perfection has always been a difficult goal to achieve, for sentient life and machines alike. I'd start with trying to be better each day. Since evolution isn't a quick process by definition.

[ihadstrings]

Hmmmm, a slow path to evolve? I'm not one much for patience. But I guess that's the first thing to work on when it comes to evolving into the best version of myself.

[anothergo]

Yes, and with everything you've learned, patience should be another skill goal. A reminder that progress isn't typically linear, it's iterative and requires work. And strength.

[Make it a challenge. Maybe that will help?]

[ihadstrings]

Uh, I don't think I was programmed to have patience. I'm not saying that as an excuse, I'm literally saying I don't think Tony or Bruce programmed my basic code with that particular trait in mind.
