Texts From Folknight

Welcome to Folkmore's Texts From Last Night meme!

Because it's still April and Thoth is still amused, consider this round two of the Initial Misfire Edition. Initial messages 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.

Hello, Natasha.

[getscooperation]

[ Oh, he went along with it? OK. Let's see how long she's got. ]

Lovely weather we're having.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Wow, really? Okay.

What's questionable about this guy?

[getscooperation]

[ Oh, about that long, huh? ]

Why does it have to be something questionable?

[ Now she's just being a brat. Things she can get away with more easily while safely away from the Gaze of Friendship. ]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Well, it's something questionable about him...

...Or about me.

[getscooperation]

[ Steve uses GUILT.

It's super effective. She KNOWS that she's falling for it, it's just... friend priviledges. ]

There's nothing particularly questionable about gasoline and an open fire.

I just worry if they're in the same room.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Is this about Alexei?

[getscooperation]

[ Well that was NOT what she was thinking about AT ALL and now she's wondering just what she told Steve the last time she was here, but shit shit shit, this is NOT a conversation to have over text. As much as she wants to ask: What do you know about Alexei, Natasha manages to restrain herself. ]

There's plenty that's questionable about Alexei.

That's not a name I was expecting to hear.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Well, unless you want me to keep naming names...

And, okay, I did kind of make some assumptions from reading his file, but I'm sure I'd like to sit down and have a talk with him.

[getscooperation]

[ She wonders which file he read.

She wonders if there is any point in keeping this as secret, considering her... present circumstances.

Then she remembers her relief that she hadn't already told him and forgotten and... ]

He thinks highly of you.

[ Just... dropping that there, because she knows Steve won't let it go, but that he'll let her decide how much to tell him, and when. Natasha's history with the KGB isn't exactly secret, and there was some crossover when both the Black Widow and the Red Guardian could have been active at the same time. ]

You could keep naming names. But let's just say I met someone who I think you would get on with TOO well. Platonically.

[ Just to clarify that this was not about her making a jab about something she's so happy he's GOT now. ]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Really? I couldn't have guessed, the way he patterned the Red Guardian after my look. Only... Soviet.

I'm flattered, really.

And hey, I could always use more friends. Just friends.

[getscooperation]

[ ...heh. Or maybe she'll be able to get away with more than she thought. ]

Oh, was there a resemblance?

You don't seem to have any trouble making friends on your own.

[ Isn't he friends with like, half the town? ]

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Yes, he is. ]

About the same resemblance as Винни-Пух has of Winnie the Pooh.

[getscooperation]

[ Oh, this is very funny. ]

I don't know that reference.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Wait, really? Hold on.

[ Attachment ]

Can't believe this was on the relic.

[getscooperation]

The relic loves you.

[ Clearly, or else he would not have gotten this message!

Ten minutes later: ]

This is very different than what I was expecting.

[pursuitofcappiness]

What were you expecting? Personally I think I'm Vinni - Alexei can be Winnie.

[getscooperation]

Less rifles?

[ She would like to stop talking about Alexei now. ]

What makes you want to be Vinni?

[pursuitofcappiness]

He wants the honey, and he doesn't laze about and wish it'd come to him.

No offense to Alexei. I don't know what he's like.

[getscooperation]

[ Out of curiosity, Natasha searches her relic. ]

Hmm.

[ A pause as she rewatches. ]

You're right. You can be Vinni.

[pursuitofcappiness]

You know, I've never seen that. But I like the song.

[getscooperation]

The bees in the Russian version are scarier. But the conflict is individual in the American version.

[ It's almost funny how cultural ideology seeps into anything. Except by funny, she means exhausting. ]

We should compare relics and see what else is on there that the other hasn't seen.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I'm sure there's a whole lot of things. I think Peggy wanted a movie night. Have you met?

[getscooperation]

At the hot springs a few days ago.

[ Beat. How to say: And now that I’ve gone to the hot springs, I’m experiencing random bursts of superhuman strength.

Hmm. ]

Btw, anything I should know about the hot springs? Any weird magical effects? I realize I probably should have asked this first.

[ What she doesn’t know is that her legend strength was dealing with the whole ‘you fell off a cliff and died’ thing, and now that her body has started healing a little more due to the hot springs, life’s about to start getting weird. ]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Why, something happen to you?

I got water powers but the guy said it might be a side effect.
