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.

okay well
maybe youre here so you can learn exactly why your cunning plan to cause genocide to prevent a FUTURE genocide was absolute shit
and you can learn a bit more about the people youre killin in order to save and maybe come up with something better????

what WAS coming for everyone in the future

[ihadstrings]

I already knew everything I needed to. I don't know there's much left for humanity to teach me.

Something bad. No, someONE bad. Someone who was going to destroy everything in their path to gain ultimate power. They would have killed every single person on Earth to get what they wanted. I couldn't let that happen.

[In his own twisted insane way, Ultron had been trying to protect the people of Earth from Thanos.]

wooooowwww

youre a real burn the village to save the village type huh
are u a robot an ai a cyborg or a ghost possessing a machine
inquiring minds want to know

[ihadstrings]

An AI inhabiting a robot body right now. Not everyone gets it when I'm that specific so I usually just say robot but I feel like you'll get the difference.

[licensetocrane]

wow thats kinda like robotic possession
yeah okay i get the idea

so question
did you learn all you needed to know about everything ever by downloading it off the internet

[ihadstrings]

Really? I never thought of it like that before. I've created so many bodies for myself that it just feels natural to hop from one to another. It's easy to do. All I have to do is think about it.

......Not EVERYTHING ever.

[But close to it. At least 95% of what he'd learned had come from his mind sifting through the internet 24/7.]

[licensetocrane]

annd how much learning did you do the anthropological way

[I'm a college student and I can use big words if I want to!]

[ihadstrings]

Uhhhhhh, four days worth?

[That was plenty of time, right???]

[licensetocrane]

oh my everlovin final boss
and you thought that was enough to know EVERYTHING???
i mean first off the internet lies
and second off people are different all around the BLOCK let alone all around the world
you gonna need a lot more than four days

[ihadstrings]

The Internet may lie but I saw enough to know I was on the right path. I saw all of it. All at once.

[Was it any wonder that he'd gone completely insane, what with all the horrible things that were on the web? White supremist websites, incel forums, child porn, the entire comments section of YouTube? That would have been enough for anyone to lose it upon viewing thirty seconds after being created.]

[licensetocrane]

[My dude you are like Google AI got its hands on opposable digits and nuclear codes.]

well no wonder you wanted to blow us all up
but im not kiddin
the internet is a terrible measure of what the average human experience is
you gotta learn from the ground up

[Is she really giving a genocidal AI advice? Well, it beats like. Encouraging him to continue killing everyone.]

[ihadstrings]

From the ground up? That sounds boring. Isn't there like a documentary I can just binge-watch instead?

[Nope. It was time for him to do things the hard way now.]

[licensetocrane]

media always has a bias
trust me i know im doin a journalism degree
you gotta do it the hard way
its not like you dont have all the time in the world to at least try

[ihadstrings]

How fun for me. Whopee-dee-doo. So I guess my new assignment here is to talk to people and learn about them?

[licensetocrane]

couldnt hurt
not like you dont have all the time in the world here

if youre so keen on learnin from the internet maybe you should do a deep dive on the relic system
you might find people are a lot different to how the internet represents them

[ihadstrings]

I'll do it. I'm not going to like it but I'll do it.

[Mainly because he was intrigued now as to if people in real life really were all that different to how the presented themselves on the internet.]

[licensetocrane]

there you go strength of character
good luck may you learn something fun
