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.

That's what happens when you drink too much. You learned a valuable lesson.

You know Zack Fair or Cloud Strife by any chance? [ Yo. He didn't look like the man from Cloud's memories but... Oh no. What if this is a younger version of him? Thirteen is a right bitch sometimes. (Or is this Cloud's punishment for saying he'd stop her from killing the kids from her world if they showed up here? Like a hypocrite challenge.) ]

Lesson learned: the 18+ laws exist for a reason and that reason is apparently people's taste buds die on the onset of adulthood.

I have met Zack? He decided we're friends. I don't know the other name, should I?

It's not our tastebuds that die, it's our will to continue sober. Adulthood can be a bummer.

[ Zack decided they're friends? All right then. Cool. ] Nah, he's just a friend of Zack's. They're both from the same world that's all.

Ah. The horrors persist, but so do we.

It would be nice if it tasted better.

I didn't know others from our world were here, but that's on me; I haven't really been looking. Thank you for telling me.

There are delicious alcoholic drinks out there.

So you are from the same world. You a SOLDIER, too? [ Her and Zack had butt heads in October over Sephiroth. She'd related a bit too hard to the whole 'burn a town down and murder a bunch of people because family shit' so she's got some lore knowledge, just not a lot. ]

Ones I'm allowed to have?

I am. If I'm honest, finding out there's adult ones around is a surprise, but with all the time troubles going on it really shouldn't be. I don't suppose you've heard the names Matt Winsord, Lucia Lin or Glenn Lodbrok as residents here anywhere?

You're not very rebellious, are you?

Afraid not, though that doesn't mean they're not here. It's not like I know everyone. I'll keep an ear out for them. Friends of yours?

Rebellion is pretty strongly punished. Anyone who might may not be here now, but that doesn't mean they won't appear.

They are important to me. I'm not sure they would like to be called friends? But I enjoy their company; I think they'd be happier here.

Harshly punished how? And even if they appear, you're your own person here.

Are you happier here?

Various ways. I don't really want to dwell on it, if you don't mind.

It's nice in some ways, it's a very lovely world.

Only a real dick would take issue with that, kid.

Yeah, it is. I imagine most people who've lived tough lives would find themselves happier here. It's like a fantasy vacation. You know, if you ignore all the shit the fox does.

I meant no insult. I'm sorry.

I haven't been here long enough to experience much of the Fox's whims. Are they bad?

Wasn't insulted, don't worry.

They can be. Sometimes it's dangerous, a couple of people I knew died in November, but other times it's just... digging into the things that hurt you. Putting your past on display for others. Making a game out of your struggles. Forcing you to face things you're not ready for. It's a real mixed bag.

And to think all I've gotten to see so far was a science fair. The next one's not likely to be so kind, is it?

Probably not. Sadly, there's no obvious pattern beyond the date shit tends to get weird on (usually starts around the 13th). We could have two easy trials in a row, or the trial could be kind to you and rough for someone else.

13th makes sense I guess.

No real preparation can be done if it's so random. I heard foxes are just like that. Is it easier when people don't stay dead?

It's considered bad luck where I'm from so... Yeah.

Sometimes. It helps knowing you won't lose someone but... Death sucks. It's still a fucked up, traumatizing experience. Some people handle it better than others.

Bad luck fox. Have you died here, yet?

Yet? Shit, no, and I'm trying to keep it that way.

Yet.

Well... I did die in an alternate universe but it wasn't like dying-dying is here. And I died in the world I was in before this one where death was also impermanent but coming back was different.

I guess it's a bit callous to think of it as 'yet', but at least it's not forever.

Especially since you've already done it twice!

I don't really count my second death. Never had to deal with the rebirth mechanic, just woke up in a new life.

Lucky for us, death doesn't happen too often here.

I see. I'll have to wait and experience it for myself to know how it really works, I suppose!

This place seems unusually peaceful, occasional disruptions and science fairs aside. Everything is built on socializing.

Let's hope you never have to.

And, yeah, this place is almost frustratingly peaceful and idyllic until it's not. The not doesn't happen often but when it does, it's nasty.

No, I should like to. Under controlled circumstances ideally. It's easier to face something in a real situation once you've faced it in an orchestrated one.

These changes happen with some regularity, right? Then soon there should be something to see, for better or for worse.

...you want to die to experience what it's like to die? It's death. It won't make facing the possibility any easier because it doesn't get easier.

Yeah, fingers crossed it's for the better.
