Texts From Last Night

Welcome to Folkmore's Texts From Last Night meme! This meme can be used as a branch off from our Test Drive Memes and be used as game canon or just for casual fun in the setting! You do not need to be in our game or be invited to play on our TFLN. This can be a great way to meet current players for future invites, get a feel for the setting, or just have some fun.

This can be used for samples on our applications and used as spoons for players accepted into the game!

TEXTS FROM LAST NIGHT GENERATOR

[volantes]

Good, me too.

As much as I want it back I don't know if I want to risk seeing what the fox might do to it.
It's not like it's going to get me very far without nav coordinates anyway, I've pulled off some stunts before but even I'm not flying blind into the unknown.

Right, yeah you probably don't have those on Earth. They're mech units built to do specific jobs, anything from translating to engineering work. Mine's called an astromech, they're made to work on ships.
But he's not some default model, I've rebuilt him from the core processor up and he's got a lot of personality even for a BB unit.
I think you'd like him.

If anything, it might end up being a very cool lawn ornament.

[A robot with a personality? Steven has seen enough bad sci-fi movies to be wary about that, though he keeps the silly thought to himself.]

Well, you're already on your way to build the spoons to bring him here one day if you so please! The more people you talk to, the more likely it'll be to see him again.

Yeah? What makes you say so?

[volantes]

My baby deserves better than that.

[ If it's just a matter of talking to people, well, he can do that. It's not like he's got a busy schedule here. ]

Everybody likes him. He's cute and he's friendly.
He only speaks in Binary, but he understands plenty of other languages so you could talk to him. He could also show you holos of things back from my galaxy, so you'd know what I'm talking about.

For now I guess I could try to sketch some things out, if you were curious about what these these things actually look like.

[spktr]

That sounds like fun! I'd be happy to meet him if you ever do get to bring him around. That is, if we're both still here too.

[volantes]

There's no way to know how long anybody will be here, is there?

[ Whatever the fox says or thinks about all this, or him, he's got way too much unfinished business to stay here. That said, there's a part of him that's inherently curious about what it's like to live here, to not have the weight of the galaxy on his shoulders and, more specifically, the whole Resistance looking to him to be confident, to still have hope.

Lately he's almost managed to forget that he might have a life after the war. ]

[spktr]

If only. People have been here days, weeks, months... some over a year. You can't know how long it'll be for anyone.

[volantes]

I'm used to that.

[ He definitely shouldn't elaborate. ]

That just means we have to make the best of what we've got, right?

[spktr]

[It kind of is like death except you know sometimes the person has returned home somewhere safe and happy. Other times not so much. It's a different kind of loss.]

Exactly. We don't have to like it but it could be so much worse, honestly.
