Texts From Last Night

Welcome to Folkmore's Texts From Last Night meme! 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. (You also don't have to use TFLN itself as a source for your messages, or you can modify them for your character.) 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 used as spoons for players accepted into the game!

Oh mine's not there. Just love your vision. [ At least the High Calendar is gone and everything that was a part of it. All the terrible deaths. Jedao and Cheris hit the reset button. Inesser, Brezan, and Mikodez can pull something back together. ]

Absolutely. Everyone wants the world to be a better place for those people coming after them.

[velocityraptor]

Right? That's what I think anyway. [ It's a good goal for him, and something he can actually work towards as it semi-aligns with what his handlers want. ]

[untitledshuos]

[ Jedao pulls out a couple of beers and offers Hawks one. The guy ate the ration bar, after all. He may as well get something pleasant to wash it down with. ]

Maybe it'll happen. Someday.

[velocityraptor]

[ He's never been a fan of alcohol, but he smiles easily and accepts, taking a small sip. ]

Thank you! Yeah, I'm hoping things get nicer for the kids coming up behind me. I'm not much of a mentor. [ He says kids like he's not barely out of his teens. ] But they're so precocious and cute!

[untitledshuos]

[ At Jedao's age, Hawks still looks like a kid. Between hundreds of years and how much longer people live in his universe, when they don't die horrible deaths, he cannot help it.

He doesn't say so. He pretty much never says so. ] You're welcome. You don't have to be a mentor to make the world a better place for them. The fact it's a general desire, not because you care about one person in particular, makes it stand out all the more.

[velocityraptor]

[ He gets that a lot. The other heroes see him as a kid too, much of the time. A kid and an upstart, even though he's been at it four years already. ]

Yeah, but a lot of pros have interns and things. I mean, I have one too, but my sidekicks are taking care of him.

[untitledshuos]

[ Plenty of Kel die not much older or younger than Hawks. It's a terrible part of military life in the Hexarchate. Good news is it's gone now. People at least have a choice to obey orders or not. ]

So why'd you choose him if you're leaving him to your sidekicks? [ The hero nomenclature alone is amusing. ]

[velocityraptor]

He's just the cutest thing! He's a bird too. [ He can't help but gush a little bit. ]

When his work study happened, I was able to spend time with him but ah, I'm working on something. I didn't have time for an intern. I'm working close to 21 hours a day...not exactly a schedule for a kid.

[untitledshuos]

[ Jedao raises a curious eyebrow at that work schedule. ]

How many hours in a day do you have?

[ Folkmore and most people from Earth here it seems have twenty-four hours in a day. Only 1/8 of Hawks's time sleeping (much less fitting in anything else) is extremely harsh on typical human anatomy. As a revenant Jedao never slept, but outside the Black Cradle he was attached to a host, who did sleep. Sleeping hours were fairly boring, but he got a lot of thinking done then. ]

[velocityraptor]

There's twenty-four. Never enough right?

[ He's been tired, but he manages with a few catnaps here and there. Ten minute power naps and caffeine. ]

[untitledshuos]

[ Earth standard. Three hours certainly isn't enough. There's something non-human about someone who can work that many hours over a long enough period. Otherwise they'd fall over dead. ]

It doesn't matter how many hours they put in a day, there's never enough. They'll fill them.

[velocityraptor]

[ While his humanity could be debated on some levels, he's very very overtired and overworked. It's just that his handlers don't care. If he's not careful, he'll burn out. ]

Yeah, well there's always more to do, isn't there?

[untitledshuos]

[ Jedao laughs dryly. ]

More than could be done in a single lifetime. At some point, everything becomes someone else's problem. We just might not be there to see it.

[velocityraptor]

Right? [ Hawks laughs, he gets that. ]

Well, here's hoping. I'm hoping that things settle down soon, that's what I want you know? Just a place where the heroes don't have to be so busy.

[untitledshuos]

Bring them all to Folkmore. They'll be set. There's not nearly as much to do here.

[ Jedao deliberately stretches, big and casual. ] Spent so long in the military, not having my schedule dictated to me is a pleasant change.

[velocityraptor]

That might be a plan for the heroes, but it wouldn't help the people we're meant to be saving. [ But, he thinks he can help, even in a strange place. ]

Oh well...I've pretty much memorized my schedule, I'm used to it. Long hours when you work in heroics, you know?

[untitledshuos]

True, but some time relaxing here might make it easier to get the job done back home. Burnout's a problem.

[ Memorizing isn't the issue. Jedao's lived by calendars his whole life, a society-wide schedule required for higher technology to work. He could remember his military schedule with ease, but that's not the point. ] No one's making you keep that schedule here. There's fewer than three hundred Star Children in total. How much heroing is there to do?

[velocityraptor]

I hope you're right and there's not much to do, but I can keep up my patrols and protect people. I'm not gonna slack off.

[ He definitely can't afford getting caught slacking off. ]

[untitledshuos]

There will be trials and plenty of people pulled into them, you included. They aren't usually a threat to people's lives, even less so if you figure out what the point of it is and don't fight it. Even the Wild Hunt, if people listened or went to Kuma Lisa's orchard, wouldn't get you. Course people refused to listen, so it went to shit.

[ Jedao shrugs without much judgment. He's one of the people it got. He didn't follow the precautions either. He doesn't hold his death against the fae. Fae gonna fae. ]

[velocityraptor]

That still sounds concerning to me. Hopefully I can help people with these trials and get them out of them. That would be better than letting people suffer.

[ It's just how he feels, he wants to protect as many people as he can. ]

[untitledshuos]

Well, I suppose many of the problems we face are because of our own stupidity. Wouldn't be any different in the trials. I wish you luck with that. Take care not to get killed yourself.

[ He doesn't expect the guy to listen, but if Hawks is going to worry about everyone else, someone can worry about him. ]

[velocityraptor]

Thanks for worrying about me. I'm pretty clever though, hopefully I won't get killed.

[ He's also very slippery and fast, so he has full faith in his abilities. What can the fox really do to him? ]

[untitledshuos]

The clever ones are the most dangerous ones. [ Jedao laughs. ] You're not much like the typical Kel. Those are the people we call hawks in my world.

[velocityraptor]

What are the hawks like in your world? [ Colour him curious. ]

In our world, hawks are a creature. A bird. [ He ruffles his wings. His codename is pretty straightforward. ] They're birds of prey. Predators.

[untitledshuos]

The Kel are called hawks for the ashhawk, which is the suicide hawk. It's a mythical bird: the bird that burned in its own glory, all fire and ferocity. It's usually surrounded by flames.

And Kel... [ Jedao sighs. He's been fond of quite a few Kel, nearly all of them dead now. ] They live up to the name, and fuck High Command. They deserved their deaths for all the Kel they sacrificed for the stupidest reasons.
