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!

Then shall I show you how to properly brew tea? It takes some skill but if you do it right, it'll taste great!

[Nevermind that she may or may not do it right but...!]

Do me the favor. It'd do well business wise.

[personal profile] localweirdo 2023-01-30 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Very well!

What kind of tea do you wish to know more about? Black or green tea?
dejabrewed: (sandalphon-san!)

[personal profile] dejabrewed 2023-01-31 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Both. I'm clueless on all of them.
localweirdo: (Juicy)

[personal profile] localweirdo 2023-01-31 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Very well!

Do you want it in bags or regular leaves? It depends on which one you want as you have to use a certain temperature and for how long too!
dejabrewed: (joining lowain trio)

[personal profile] dejabrewed 2023-02-05 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
The leaves. I'm well aware as to how the tea in bags works. I see it often enough back home.
localweirdo: (Insane in the Brain)

[personal profile] localweirdo 2023-02-05 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you would need to leave it a little bit longer compared to the ones in bags.

The longer it sits, the stronger the flavor! Of course, you can add in some milk too depending on what kind of tea is it.
dejabrewed: (oh?)

[personal profile] dejabrewed 2023-02-12 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Is it because they’ve been prepared for less time or is it simply because of the style of brewing?
localweirdo: (pic#15964848)

[personal profile] localweirdo 2023-02-12 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the style of brewing! And I haven't even gotten to how you need to make sure it's the right temperature or else it wouldn't taste all that great.

I suppose it's not too different from coffee?
dejabrewed: (nonsense.)

[personal profile] dejabrewed 2023-02-19 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Interesting.

Not at all, from what I’m hearing. The difference is the process in which its formed, correct? Tea leaves are dried while coffee beans are roasted.
localweirdo: (pic#15964848)

[personal profile] localweirdo 2023-02-19 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
More or less.

But I'm not an expert in this. Alas, you are merely talking to someone who is more familiar with roasting bodies.


[Take that however you will.]
dejabrewed: (excuse me what)

[personal profile] dejabrewed 2023-02-21 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ excuse me what. ]

Are you... a mortician of sorts, then?
localweirdo: (pic#15673314)

[personal profile] localweirdo 2023-02-21 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
You can say that. More that I work in a funeral parlor.

[Pause]

Does that scare you?
dejabrewed: (nonsense.)

[personal profile] dejabrewed 2023-03-27 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
My kind rarely experiences death-- for most, it's a hibernation of sorts in order to recover, so no, I'm not scared.
localweirdo: (Insane in the Brain)

[personal profile] localweirdo 2023-03-27 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that so?

Care to tell me a bit more?
dejabrewed: (sandalphon-san!)

[personal profile] dejabrewed 2023-04-15 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
What exactly do you want to know? I can tell you a lot.
localweirdo: (pic#15964682)

[personal profile] localweirdo 2023-04-16 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm surprised that you don't experience death. I'm curious as to how that is possible.

...Unless you're immortal. Which is both an amazing and scary thought!
dejabrewed: (writing)

[personal profile] dejabrewed 2023-04-17 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You hit the nail on the head. I am immortal— my kind was made to last a very long time, as long as our cores have the power to do so. However if on the off chance we were drained, we are to enter a slumber not too different from a human’s coma in order to recover.

[ nbd. ]

[personal profile] localweirdo 2023-04-17 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.

And you are okay with that?


[After all, she can't imagine how difficult a life it must be to live forever.]
dejabrewed: (what the hell....)

[personal profile] dejabrewed 2023-04-23 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't matter. I have to be, by the nature of my species. I know death exists, but knowing how my world works, we need to be constant figures, lest things go to ruin. That observation is part of my own role.
localweirdo: (pic#16268901)

[personal profile] localweirdo 2023-04-23 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Even so, it seems like it might be difficult to live a long life. I can't imagine what kind of things you have been through.
