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:

The Fae

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:

<b style="width:100%;">
<font color="#fff">✿</font> Character Name<br>
<a href="journalname" style="color:#838A92;text-decoration:none;"><font color="#fff">✿</font> @username</a>
</b>

<a href="" style="color:#fff;background:#b37165;text-decoration:none;padding:12px 20px;border-radius:30px;">Flitter</a>

</div>
<br>
Write your character's Flitter post here! The character limit is 280 but we won't tell anyone if you go a little bit over. add #fablenewbies if you're a game member!

</div>

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!

What is the purpose of this? I thought this would contain more information, but it seems it's just another useless, mindless, waste of time. #fablenewbies

[ DAIN?? Please calm down. ]

It's to keep in contact with friends and have a little fun. Give it a chance? I sent you a friend request by the way.

[ Aether of all people telling him this makes him go a little less feral, at least. Fun isn't part of his vocabulary, Aether!! He has business back home that is kind of important!! ]

Very well. I'll...give it a chance as you say. Though I see little reason to use it when talking in person is just as easy.

Sometimes it's easier to message someone. Like if I'm in the middle of a commission and running late, I could tell you right away. Convenient huh?

I suppose when looked at that way it is more convenient.

[ Even if this flitter thing is annoying with the constant notifications. ]

Are there others from Teyvat here? I'm assuming we're not the only ones.

Sometimes trying new things isn't so bad.

A lot actually. It's got me thinking why there's so many of us here. It can't be a simple coincidence, but that's left to something more private and in person to discuss.

Trying a new device given to us by a bunch of beings who stole a part of our souls isn't exactly too welcoming a thought. [ Dain is just putting it out there is all. ]

Agreed. Perhaps if you would like to meet in person I can lend an ear to whatever theories and thoughts you may have.

Did you have to put it that way? It's your choice in the end. It'd just be nice to keep in touch more easily.

I'd like that. Your place or mine? Or we can maybe go somewhere new and explore this place together.

[ He did not have to put it that way but, well, this is Dain we're talking about. He's grumpy on the best of days...but especially now having been dragged to this strange new land during his own missions. ]

Perhaps not. But it doesn't change the core issues of the situation. Either way, I will continue to monitor this...device to see if any ill-effects come from it.

If you wish to explore then I don't mind. It's probably for the best to get a better understanding of our surroundings.

I'll let you know if anything seems strange too. Even in this world, it seems like we'll be working together.

Good! I saw a seaside café that looks like it has some interesting dishes that I want to recreate on my own.

Even I know how to let go and have a little fun here. It may be mindless information, but at least there's a sense of community.

[ Wow, rude? He knows how to have fun. It involves murdering abyss lectors and stuff! ]

Community, of course. Because that's something he cares about?! He has things to do back on Teyvat he doesn't want to be here!!! ]

This isn't the ideal situation, I know. But making the best of it is your best bet. You should stop complaining and do the same.

[ It's not ideal at all. ]

Did you also have something important to tend to back home? Being taken when one is in the middle of something is not the most ideal of situations.

I did, and I hate our current situation as much as the next person.

[Interesting... This one's a little pragmatic, isn't he?]

Things like this are usually just something lighthearted for the sake of getting to know each other. Figuring out what makes people tick isn't always a waste of time, is it?

Sometimes people don't wish to divulge much about themselves. It's more prying than it is anything else.

Besides...I often charge a sum of money for those who wish to ask me questions.

[?!?!?!]

Sounds like a pretty lucrative business.

But still, you shouldn't reveal anything deeply personal about yourself if it makes you uncomfortable. Would you consider something smaller like food preferences to be prying as well?
