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!

Without notice? I'm struggling to find space in the conversation to bring up the time and such...

Ah, well.. come to think of it, I suppose you're often bound by far more societal restrictions than I am. I suppose it's not always easy to be.. straightforward.

Hmm. Do you want me to call you to interrupt the conversation? Or is this a more "in general" question?

My days were quite full at home. The best reason to end any particular engagement would often be to see to the next appointment...

It was a general inquiry, but I appreciate your offer, Tighnari. I'm certain that there's a balance to be struck, here. I only hope that it doesn't offend any of the Fae.

I'd think you'd be well versed in politely ending a conversation, in that case. You're really very kind.

Let's see. You could always try giving a few physical tells, if you can't get a word in edgewise. Fidget, smooth your skirts like you're about to stand up, pile up your papers in a very Final sort of way. Body language speaks volumes.

Thank you... It just feels... Different. I cannot exactly say "If you'll excuse me, I must see to my next engagement," with so much free time all of a sudden...

But these are all very sound suggestions, Mister Tighnari. I appreciate them. Perhaps in time, I'll adjust to this very new lifestyle, or otherwise busy myself with different things...

I'll admit, I'm not exactly used to having so much free time either, my work always kept me quite busy.

Still, it's all about finding new ways to spend your time. I'm sure you'll figure it out. I opened a shop, recently; if you're in need of things to do, you can always stop by to help out every once in awhile, and I can teach you what I know, since you'd seemed interested in learning.

Oh! Would that really be okay, Mister Tighnari...? I would hate to take up your time when you might be busy running your business.

Perhaps... In exchange, I can offer a few arrangements from time to time? I'm trained in the art of ikebana.

It's no trouble at all. I'm good at multitasking.

That would be an excellent trade-off, I think, I'd love to see what you're capable of.
