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.

I doubt that, Sansa. But I appreciate the help - maybe it's more that people don't take time to tell you that.

[ He offers her a hand to help her onto the parked bike, and also helps Lady to strap into the sidecar before he gets on. ]

It goes pretty fast, you'll want to wear this.

[ He offers her a helmet which is red white and blue. ]
dohaeris: (hah)

[sansa settles into place a little awkwardly, unable to totally disguise her discomfort at sitting bestride. she gamely puts on the helmet––it crushes her small braided bun into her head a little painfully. she fumbles with the buckle.]

You're very kind; it's only that I haven't found very much to help with––it's so peaceful here, and everyone can summon whatever they need with magic. I'm very glad to be able to spend the time on my studies instead, but I should like to do what I can.
pursuitofcappiness: (i'm free friday)

[personal profile] pursuitofcappiness 2024-04-27 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
There's plenty of time to figure out what you want to do that isn't something you think you're supposed to do, but I understand. Took me over a year to figure out myself.

[ He starts up the bike and he'll go somewhat slowly at first for her to get used to, a horse's speed, but a very quick one. The ride's a lot smoother. ]

You were offering alterations, weren't you?
dohaeris: (growth)

[personal profile] dohaeris 2024-04-27 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[sansa is less concerned with speed than with staying on the motorcycle, but thanks to her ninjutsu training she can use chakra to stay firmly attached. lady pants happily like a dog hanging out of a car window.]

Yes, I'm studying fashion, and I've been helping Rue with their shop. I did very good trade as a dressmaker in the last city I was in, and I should be glad to make anyone anything. I can do alterations and most other kinds of sewing.

[she hasn't stitched a wound before but she knows the basics!!]

What did you figure out that you wanted to do?
pursuitofcappiness: (but i cannot fool my heart)

[personal profile] pursuitofcappiness 2024-04-28 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
That's good -- fine motor skills come in handy a lot here. Great for magic casting, too, believe it or not.

[ Magic or not, that's now an option for her! ]

I'm a painter. I opened up a studio in Epiphany.

I was gonna do it before the war - but then I became a soldier.

[ Which - it definitely looks like he keeps up with his training, just in case he needs to fight again. In case she was confused - he definitely doesn't look like a painter. ]
dohaeris: (actually)

[personal profile] dohaeris 2024-05-01 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[most grown men sansa knew in westeros served in one war or another. she might think it strange this should preclude a painting career, except she knows all too well how war can change things.]

That's lovely. I had a studio in Trench, I suppose. I made clothes for performers, as well as anyone else who might need them. I liked it very much. I like studying fashion and enchantments, but I don't feel I do very much else, here. In Trench I helped to make sure everyone had enough to eat, and clothes to wear, and I helped to treat corruption, which is a dangerous sickness of that world.

[sansa believes this is only a magically physical manifestation of people's inner demons, but that isn't especially relevant right now.]

I have thought that people would be better, if all their needs were met, but all I've become here is a better designer, and I don't know if that's my potential.

[her mouth curves up at one corner.]

I would like to learn more spells, though, if I can.
pursuitofcappiness: (little smiles)

[personal profile] pursuitofcappiness 2024-05-01 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, all I know is that I haven't reached my potential yet and I've been here going on two years, so I don't know if I'm the right person to give you advice.

But - if you're enjoying the journey, then I don't think there's a problem. Maybe the Fox wants you to slow down and enjoy life a little. That might just be your potential, or what you need to achieve it.

[ Sometimes people who give away too much of themselves don't stop to take a little, all hosting and no enjoying. ]

And you should definitely speak to Hawke. He teaches me magic.
dohaeris: (sick burn)

[personal profile] dohaeris 2024-05-01 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I have spoken to him! He has a very sweet dog. He told me I could come by for lessons. It's only that I'm studying magic with Rue, and their magic is much more complicated than they let on.

[actually she got distracted with skating lessons...and skating practice...]

I must go visit him and his dog sometime.
pursuitofcappiness: (demotion)

[personal profile] pursuitofcappiness 2024-05-01 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see. Yes, Rue does have a lot of magic too, I wasn't even aware they took students -

- And Hawke's Mabari is very sweet. I'm not surprised you get along.

[ He hadn't expected Sansa to have a literal giant wolf either, but, hey.

It's not that long of a drive, and they get to the buildings quite quickly, whereupon Steve parks and gestures to a building.
]

I think that's where they're keeping them. The ducks.
dohaeris: (ummm)

[personal profile] dohaeris 2024-05-02 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
They hadn't before. I asked for an apprenticeship, but they wanted to pay me for my work and teach me anyway.

[she looks at the building, and then looks at the ground. sansa is tall, and the motorcycle isn't so high as a horse, but there are no stirrups, and she has never attempted this before.]

I'll need to be somewhere that won't be disturbed, but that isn't too far from the house.

[she hasn't really warged blind before, but she's been able to locate nearby creatures and even people by their chakra before, so she's confident she can do it.]
pursuitofcappiness: (pic#16695058)

[personal profile] pursuitofcappiness 2024-05-02 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like Rue, alright.

[ She does well with the dismount, but Steve is also there to lend a hand if she needs. ]

Is behind a tree okay? They've got a couple ones in the back that aren't tall enough to be seen over the roofline.

[ He makes haste, lightfooted even though he's quite tall and broad. ]
dohaeris: (amusement)

[personal profile] dohaeris 2024-05-02 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[she does, in fact, need a hand.]

That will do very well. Lady will listen for your knock.

[which sansa will be able to hear through her, but baby steps. she keeps pace well, and so does lady (who appreciates the exercise).]

Who are these neighbors, anyway?

[not that stealing poultry birds is anything unusual in westeros, but usually people prefer to kill the wild ones before bringing them into their home.]

pursuitofcappiness: (what are you looking at)

[personal profile] pursuitofcappiness 2024-05-02 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
They mostly keep to themselves, actually. We haven't really met aside from this.

[ And it's hard because Steve doesn't speak spirit. ]

I don't think they like star children much.

[ So, that might explain some things. Once they split, he waits for a bit for Sansa to get into position, and then knocks. At first, nothing happens. Typical. So he tries again.

Eventually, the door opens a crack. The child of the family has opened it, and is peeking out with one eye.
]

Um - hi, are your parents home?

[ The ducks quack in the background. ]
dohaeris: (in darkness)

[personal profile] dohaeris 2024-05-03 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[sansa sits behind the tree with her legs folded beneath her; lady stands over her, guarding her human body. sansa closes her eyes. upon hearing the knock, she reaches towards the building for anything duck-shaped.

she slips into the lady of the pair, and proceeds to chase the other duck through the house and out the door, over the spirit child and past steve. once the ducks are safely out she returns to her body, blinking her eyes open and standing up.

the ducks seem to be headed around the back.
]
pursuitofcappiness: (you expect me to believe that?)

[personal profile] pursuitofcappiness 2024-05-04 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, he had no idea what she did but he's pretty impressed. The ducks are all safe, and he helps to guide them away from the house. ]

--Thank you.

[ The ducks really ought to be outside. Even the duck family seems to be thankful about it. ]
