flitter!
Buzz buzz buzz! That's the sound of your network device receiving a social alert. Maybe you've poked around your device a little bit already, or maybe you haven't, but either way - you're about to have the chance to take part in one of Fable's social apps!

The notification chimes directly from Flitter (the fairy version of Twitter!) And this app is exactly what you would expect. Mostly nonsense scattered among hundreds and thousands of Fleets (Tweets) from the mystical creatures of Fable (and beyond!)

Your device pings you to the following post:

New Fable villagers!!!!!! Give us ur most spicy take! GO!!! #fablenewbies

While as fun as they are kind, no one can deny that the Fae have a tendency to be quite mischievous. Giving them access to social media only seems to enhance these feelings! Looks like they want the new inhabitants of Fable - or just anyone who receives a magical notification - to post to Flitter with their spiciest take! Do you have certain opinions on how milky a cup of tea should be? Do you think sprinkles on cupcakes are essential or pointless? No matter the opinion, the Fae want to see it and strike up discussion!

Time to grab the popcorn.

Copy and paste the following code into your comment section to make a Flitter post:


Welcome to Fable's first network social! Please read this before participating!

This social post is open to everyone! This means that you do not have to be a member of Fable to participate! You can think of it like a fun TDM, since network socials like this will happen every month within the game.

We ask that non-Fable residents mark that they're not in-game in their subject line, and that Fable residents use the hashtag #fablenewbies in their posts so that the Fae can find them! After all, they wanted to see some exciting conversations brewing within Fable, but outsiders are more than welcome to chime in as well. Feel free to assume that Flitter is just as big of a dumpster fire as real Twitter. The code is only required for a toplevel, but replies can be written in a text font (like courier.)

Lastly, while we love IC banter, please remember to be civil and familiarise yourself with the game rules. Have fun!

It would indeed. In the daytime, the easiest way is to tell them something has come up, or that there's something else you need to do, even if it has to be a little white lie~

I'm glad I could help, Ms. Kamisato~! Though I imagine a celebrity like you must be in a tight spot to turn to the internet for help. Is everything all right?

Ah, everything is alright. I appreciate your concern.

I must admit, I was a bit... curious, as to what answers I would get, too. So I wanted to try posing my own question...

Oh? You've got me curious now, too! Did you get anything particularly interesting out of this little endeavor~?

Someone has suggested preparing plenty of food, ensuring leftovers, and packing that food to give to guests as a parting present. The act of packing the leftovers signals to the guests that it's about time to head home.

I see! That's an interesting practice as well~
But what happens if your guest isn't able to read such a sign? Wouldn't you still have to explain it to them?

I suppose I would, but in that case... Perhaps the offering of food would be enough to "soften the blow," so to speak.

Perhaps~
In your particular case, I wouldn't worry too much about offending anyone. You're much too popular. Your visitors are more likely to worry that they've offended you by staying too long!
