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:

<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>

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!

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's this? Does that mean you are somebody who knows how to tame such creatures?

Perhaps I should call you miracle worker! Or better yet, I know who to call should I ever see them around.

I don't know that I'd say I could tame them, but I can handle them safely.

So yes, if you'd ever like any removed, I can do that for you, though you don't seem frightened by them, either.

No. I just wanted to see if there was someone who could help me get rid of them should it ever happen.

At least now I know I'm not alone!

I see. Well, yes, I'd be happy to help, in the event that it should happen.

My father is an entomologist, so I grew up surrounded by insects and arachnids.

I see, then it seems that you shall be known as an insect whisperer to me!

Insect whisperer..

I'm far more well-versed in plantlife, if I'm honest.

Then would you prefer to be called a plant whisperer?

I do believe that would be rather helpful for my business! Obtaining certain plants can be rather difficult when clients ask for it at the last minute.

I would prefer to be called Tighnari.

What's your business? I'd be glad to form a formal partnership, under the correct parameters.

[ they need zhongli to write up a contract. ]

It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Hu Tao!

My business is a funeral parlor! I certainly hope that won't deter you from this partnership.

Not at all. I quite admire funeral directors, in fact. It's a necessary business.

I see now why you might require plants.

Glad to see that someone agrees with me.

For I'm afraid it can be a dying profession to some!

[hur hur hur]

About dissolving our freshly birthed partnership..

What's this?

Does someone not like puns?

[Oh the horror....!!]

Eh. Let's just say, I'm used to hearing far too many of them.

You make sound like it's a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with making a few puns here and there!

Agree to disagree.

Nevertheless, I'm curious, I wonder if the fae have different funereal rights than we're used to. I imagine they do, considering even all across Teyvat, things are different.

Wait, did you say Teyvat?

I wasn't aware there was someone from my world here. Goodness, suddenly, I don't feel so alone anymore! How wonderful!

You're in for a surprise, there are actually a decent amount of us here. I can't say why, but the Fae must have a fondness for Teyvat.

Is that so? And could I ask who these people from our friend are?

Who knows, maybe I might even find one from Liyue!

Hmm, I don't believe I've come across anyone from Liyue..

A few from Inazuma, and quite a few of my friends from Sumeru.

That is a shame but I suppose that isn't a bad thing.

I could always expand my horizons and see what kind of friends I could make! Wouldn't that be something?

I can't disagree with that. I have a few choice opinions about being brought here, but every cloud has a silver lining. Getting to meet people from all across Teyvat has been a real plus.

And what have you learned so far?

Surely, it must be something eye opening!

What have I learned from the people I've met, you mean?

Well.. I suppose I've learned that tanuki are playful.

Oh, you better watch out. They are rather mischievous little creatures!

If anything, I think they're ones you want to befriend unless you want to suffer their terrible pranks! Unless...you have fallen victim to it already.
