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!

Or you could like both.

[dejabrewed]

You can. But one is still wrong.

[veardant]

Ah, you're one of those.

[dejabrewed]

Oh my, what gave it away? I didn't spend millennia perfecting the craft just for it to be dismissed with a simple comment.

[veardant]

I quite like coffee, in fact, I drink it often. I think if you found the right tea, you might even be able to enjoy both. The flavors are limitless.

[dejabrewed]

When someone bothers to find me the right tea, then I'll consider liking both. Not many around me bother to bring up the idea of tea anyways.

[veardant]

Well, at least you're open to the idea. Now I'm curious. Maybe I'll bring you a few different blends, from time to time.

[dejabrewed]

Oh, please do. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to do the same, but with coffee blends to return the favor. A mutual agreement of sorts.

[veardant]

I think that's a fair exchange. I'll never say no to good coffee. Karkata will enjoy having something new to brew.

[dejabrewed]

Wonderful. I can finally try some new blends I've been working on... if I can get the same beans here as I can back home.

[veardant]

I'm sure you can ask Prism for them, when you give him your fruits.

Even better, you could ask for seeds, and grow them here, though I know there are complicating factors in growing coffee, like altitude and soil acidity.

[dejabrewed]

... I may never have enough, but I will keep that in mind.

[ by choice!!!! he doesn't want to talk to people more than necessary! ]

[veardant]

I see, well, that might make things difficult.

Is your coffee so good that it's worth socializing for?

1/2

[dejabrewed]

2/2

[dejabrewed]

I suppose so.

[veardant]

I understand. I wouldn't call myself a 'people person' either, but it isn't so bad, getting to know others.

[dejabrewed]

If getting to know others means experiencing what kind of nonsense humanity gets up to, I suppose it can't be all that bad.

[veardant]

Spoken as if you're not a human. Not that I mean to pry, but consider me curious.

[dejabrewed]

I'm not. I'm an angel, put simply-- I'm simply able to put away my wings if necessary.

[ he would've gone more in depth, but that would probably confuse tighnari a lot more than necessary.c ]

[veardant]

An angel.. I've seen that term used in some texts from Mondstadt. Some sort of.. spiritual being, an emissary of the gods.

[dejabrewed]

That is the gist of it back home as well, however in my world we’re also overseers of a natural thing of our world, such as the elements. If anything, the term means little here, so consider it only my species than any sort of grand ideal.

[veardant]

I see, so you're not so unlike an Archon.

But all right, understood.

[dejabrewed]

Now you've got me intrigued-- what exactly is an Archon?

[veardant]

Archons are gods, though not all gods are Archons. In Teyvat, there are seven nations, each nation ruled over by an Archon aligned to a specific element.

For instance, Sumeru, where I am from, is overseen by Lesser Lord Kusanali, the Archon of the dendro element.

[dejabrewed]

I see... I definitely see the comparison. Not many of my kind are gods, but they can be called as such in some regard.

I suppose other worlds can be similar in some regards.
