network social #1

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
@faithtrustpixiedust Flitter

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!

Is that so? It still does make me worried....

[rainswords]

Hu Tao, this is my attempt to be polite. If between the two of us, I lack concern in my own ability to create a dish then who do you think causes me to worry?

[localweirdo]

You're not talking about me, are you?

Fear not! While I do worry, I am someone who is also easy to please. Just cook up whatever dish you wish and I'll be more than happy to see it tastes well!

[rainswords]

Should I presume that you were never truly planning to help?

[localweirdo]

No.

Not unless you wanted me to.

[rainswords]

What was I supposed to assume from the following?

'Is there anything you want?'

'I don't see why we couldn't!'

[localweirdo]

Oh fine.

I'll help you with the cooking! Here, I was hoping you could do it.

[rainswords]

You failed in your attempt to fool me into preparing a meal for you. Perhaps you should apologize?

[localweirdo]

Oh, I humbly apologize my dearest Xingqiu, for I have forsaken you. Please do accept my apology as I wish to help you in your endeavors to cook for the both of us.

[rainswords]

Perhaps you'll truly repent if you alone prepare the meal.

[localweirdo]

If it I make it suspicious looking?

[rainswords]

Then I shall watch you eat alone.

[localweirdo]

Goodness, that is rather cruel. You wouldn't dare do that to me, would you? You would be pretty hungry to see me eat.

[rainswords]

I suspect not. Not if it is indeed suspicious.

[localweirdo]

Do you doubt my cooking that much?

[rainswords]

No. But there is a chance you could potentially sabotage your own cooking on purpose.

[localweirdo]

You make it sound like it's a terrible thing to do. There's something wrong adding a little spice to my cooking.

[rainswords]

Xiangling adds a little spice to her dishes — sometimes quite a bit more than a little. If you’re so against preparing a meal, I’ll relent and treat you this time.

[localweirdo]

If you do, I shall return it and cook you something the next time around.

Without carrots of course.

[rainswords]

Why don't we go ahead and split household duties? It might serve us best to do so now in the long run.

[localweirdo]

I don't see why not!

What kind of duties do you want to do?

[rainswords]

How considerate of you to offer me first choice.

Let me take over kitchen duties. Let's avoid eating anything suspicious if we can.

[localweirdo]

How troublesome.

You really do think my cooking skills are terrible.

[rainswords]

How about if I say I think your skills are unique? Although I've seen some well-prepared dishes come out of your kitchen, I rather not take things to chance. I am sure you feel the same way. But if you are adamant about cooking for us then I'll step aside and allow you to take over that role.

[localweirdo]

No, I rather you cook.

I think you're much better than me. That and I rather taste your cooking rather than mine. I trust you to always bring me a good meal!
