texting at midnight

[1sts]

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!

Blinded, no, made optimistic by, yes. Not so much that I haven't put in safeguards and kill switches which I hate on a fundamental level but if junior finds a way around the programming we've got options to make sure he goes down and stays down.

I'm sentimental, not stupid.

hey, your words, pal. not mine.

I'm honestly more surprised Erik didn't decide to fuck him up all over again right after you fixed him

[nonstopnarcissist]

I built him with nonferrous metals. Magneto can't crush him like a tin can again- which is a security concern we've talked about in full already.

[counterstep]

okay, so who's supposed to...incapacitate him if he goes crazy again?
or is this where one of your failsafes kicks in?

[nonstopnarcissist]

Silicone melting nanites auto deploy if he hard pivots to genocidal maniac again.

Jesus


brutal

[nonstopnarcissist]

I believe in his capacity to change and grow eventually.

But I'm not under any illusions it'll happen quickly, and if he makes a break for it I need to be sure there's no chance he can hurt anyone again.

[counterstep]

well it does sound like a much sounder approach than what he'd been before

you didn't come from the same universe though, right? I think I overheard something like that
that he's from one where he hasn't been destroyed yet, I mean
and I don't think he was around in your or you probably wouldn't have been so surprised when he showed up out of the blue

( along with everyone else, that is. )

[nonstopnarcissist]

...There was no real chance to rehabilitate him, back home. Too many variables, too many risks, too many lives at stake.

Here, at least, he can do some good.

[counterstep]

I'm glad you were able to fix him though

having another support around always helps

[nonstopnarcissist]

We honestly need more, but I don't know who to submit a complaint to. I'm almost glad Wade can be one if he wants to but that's...

being glad Wade is here. I'm not desperate enough for that yet.

[counterstep]

you and me both
guy's a menace


and can probably read this and will mock me for it later but I don't really care right now

[nonstopnarcissist]

he just KNOWS things and I hate it?

Sometimes he starts making sense and that is a real mindfuck, let me tell you.

[counterstep]

that's horrifying

we need a baseline test, if he's gonna stick around
or we're all gonna be nutty before the next anniversary comes around
and not from the random giant and tiny people

[nonstopnarcissist]

Smile, nod, and keep a diary of what you know is true from your own timeline.

Though I'm not above taking notes about shit he lets slip because who knows, it might be relevant to someone someday.

[counterstep]

pretty sure he has some way to unexist a diary like that though, considering how he just changes his whole kit in a blink

I heard him talking to Galacta once also? at least I think it was Galacta? dunno who else he'd be talking to

[nonstopnarcissist]

He's having a conversation with someone, I've had Jarvis scanning every audible frequency in normal, sub normal, and super enhanced ranges but nothing.

[counterstep]

if I didn't already know he had weird shit up his sleeve, I'd probably just chalk it up to schizophrenia
but even Marc doesn't do shit like that
I mean he isn't schizophrenic either, but he'd have the most reason to probably end up talking to himself in whole conversations I meant

[nonstopnarcissist]

Do you think ancient gods deliberately look for people with fluid mental states or was it a happy accident?

Well. Marc's not always happy about it.

[counterstep]

I mean maybe that's why HYDRA thought I'd be a good host for an eldritch god too, then

( womp womp. )

[nonstopnarcissist]

...yeah that might've been it. You being a host for Cthulhu would've been awful.

[counterstep]

well I doubt Cthulhu would even care to be bonded to a human

so it's some kind of less god

or he'd take over my brain already
