The Midnight Texting Meme It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? Do they need help hiding a body??? Pick up your phone and find out! Rules: ● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed ● Tag others ● Have fun!

There's a contract out for your murder.

[varium]

Oh, who is it this time? :D Did the Sontarens get all funny about the bananas I stole from them? Are the Daleks going for contract murder again? You'd think they'd prefer to do it by their own hands -- or implements -- but I guess they get a bit desperate sometimes.

[menuki]

I'm not going to pretend I know what those are.
My old employers. Millennial Consultants.

[varium]

Really? I've managed to make an enemy without ever meeting them? Well, I guess it's not the first time that's happened, but still! It's a bit rude! :/

Are you sure it's for murder? And not... I don't know, a contract to bring me in for a cup of tea and a nice chat? Or something about a capture contract for an endangered species? That's happened before, too.

[menuki]

Don't think so linearly. I'm sure you'll do something to aggravate them eventually.

It might be for capture, but I doubt it. Reps aren't usually called in for normal asset acquisition.

[varium]

Ah, of course. It does sound like me that I'd eventually annoy a company consulting in the use of time travel to protect capital resources. Because, really? Using time travel for capitalism?

Well, thank you for warning me! :D I'll approach this in the same way I approach every other threat of murder: ignoring it and hoping it goes away. And if that fails, incessant chatter.

[menuki]

Good, you're familiar with them. Saves me the the Time Travel 101 speech.

[varium]

Yes, luckily I am in fact familiar with time travel!

Can I still hear the speech anyway, though? :D I'm curious now.

[menuki]

Let's not.

You're unsanctioned?

[varium]

Boo! I was looking forward to hearing it.

By "unsanctioned", I assume you mean, "a time traveler who hasn't gotten permission from Millennial Consultants to do so"? If so, yes. Do they really think they own time travel?

[menuki]

They're doing their best. I've seen what happens when they get their way.

So I'm keeping you alive. Thank me later.

[varium]

Oh, I'm quite happy to thank you now. Thank you for the warning! Really quite generous of you, considering I don't know what it cost you.
