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.

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.

1/2

[getscooperation]

...Steve.

[getscooperation]

You got "water powers" out of going to the hot spring? What do "water powers" entail? Why did you get "water powers" out of going to the hot spring?

[ DUDE! At least this is likely positive, but like. OMG. WHAT.

You gotta TELL your paranoid BFF these things, man!

[pursuitofcappiness]

Helped a guy out at the hot springs. He said I might get powers. It was fun moving the stream out of my sink the next day. Also, now it's easy to heat up water for tea.

[getscooperation]

[ Only you, Steve, she swears. ]

Was there also a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for you?

[pursuitofcappiness]

What, 'cause I'm Irish?

Things like this just happen here.

[getscooperation]

[ She has talked to many other people and none of them have reported being able to turn into a dragon or suddenly acquiring water powers!

...well, actually... ]

Fire powers too?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Surprisingly, none. But it's still April.

[getscooperation]

[ Heh. ]

I didn't mean you. I meant did people randomly get fire powers too? But I have to admit, I am shocked, shocked to hear that you do not have fire, earth, and air as well.

[pursuitofcappiness]

They do. And - wow, I know the powers Thirteen chooses to give me are kind of a random set, but, they all did make sense at the time.

[getscooperation]

[ Natasha's spoken to enough people at this point to know that Steve's attitude toward Thirteen is not necessarily representative. And his attitude toward attaining powers is...

...you do remember we fought a whole dramatic tarmac scene ostentatiously around the basis of people with powers and their role?

Context matters and the context here is drastically different, but... it's like the flowers in his beard. ]

I was teasing. I guess you haven't seen that TV show.
Well. I did leave out HEART.

[ But that's because she knows you have that. ]

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ He also remembers fighting for having powers and being able to use them responsibly. But she'll see - those who are unpowered are in the minority here, only because everyone eventually gets something. In that regard, too, Steve likes being here. He's just... some guy here. ]

I'm gonna need you to send me a link on the relic.

[getscooperation]

Gasp. Is this *doubt*?
OK, but I warn you
Vinnie Pooh was better
link

it's the smart quotes!

[pursuitofcappiness]

Vinni Pukh *was* better.

Is this what people think of me?

I *thought* they looked funky; thnx Apple

[getscooperation]

…do people think of you as a magical force made out of the combined powers of the elements contained in a bunch of teenagers’ rings?

No.

No, they do not.

[pursuitofcappiness]

You know what I mean. Wholesome, but cheesy.

That is what it was doing my USO tour. Can't believe that's the lasting impression.
