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 rings and dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this time? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? 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 with a midnight text-- it can be anything you'd like for any reason you want.
• Have fun!

[She lets out a light scoff, not dismissive but amused.] You mean to say you have one? And I'm the lucky one who gets to capture it?

[Nope not smiling right then, nope, not at all.]

[darthvaderfanboy]

When you put it that way, you make it sound like I'm a love-struck nek.

[He was a Knight of Ren, not a little harmless puppy dog.]

[talentedscavenger]

I know you're the farthest thing from it.

[Yes, yes, he's not a harmless puppy dog.]

I didn't mean to have it come across like that. I meant...[Forgive her, she's trying to figure out the best way to say this...]

I didn't think you would care for anyone else but yourself.

[darthvaderfanboy]

[There's a long pause and a sigh before he answers.]

I thought I couldn't. That I wasn't supposed to. Attachments like that are a weakness for those on the Dark Side.

[talentedscavenger]

[Rey falls quiet, unsure of what to do in this situation. So she just speaks her mind. ]

I've been told Jedi aren't supposed to form attachments either...yet here we are.

[ Happy Ren? She admitted in her own way that she liked him too. ]

[darthvaderfanboy]

Of course we would both end up in a situation where neither one of us are supposed to act on what we feel.

[A forbidden love? This sounded familiar. Like grandfather, like grandson.]

[talentedscavenger]

We can act in what we feel, if we choose rondo so. [ There's a pause, pulling the comm away from her face to let out a soft yawn she couldn't stop. ]

It depends on what you really want in the end.

[darthvaderfanboy]

I'm not sure I know what that is anymore.

[He hears her yawn and looks at the clock on the wall. It's a wonder she's still awake to hear him with how late it is.]

I swear to god I shouldn't rp from my phone anymore gdmit

[talentedscavenger]

You can choose to act on your feelings or not to. You...can make any choice you want.

[ And she's rambling, she knows she's doing it. But she'll continue to talk. ]

Do what makes you happy, Ren.

Heh it happens to me all the time.

[darthvaderfanboy]

[Ren goes quiet for so long that's it possible he just hung up. When he speaks again, he sounds tired and lost. He hasn't been unsure of himself like this in a long time.]

I don't know what to think anymore. I've worked my whole life towards one goal. I can't just give that up.

[talentedscavenger]

[ In the silence, Rey thought he did hang up on her only to hear him speak again. ]

You may one want to reconsider that goal, Ren. Especially if you ....[ Shebstarts to mumble, thinking she's saying 'be happy' but instead what comes out is something else. ] want to kiss me.

[darthvaderfanboy]

You're not worth turning my back on everything I've known.

[Then he cringes, physically shrinking from his words. What was wrong with him? There had to be something broken in his brain.]

Sorry. That sounded less harsh in my head.

[talentedscavenger]

Huh?

[That wakes her up a little more. What was he talking about?]

I wasn't asking you to do that.

[darthvaderfanboy]

[There's a groan from the comm as Kylo facepalms.]

Forget what I said. I'm drunk and tired.

[talentedscavenger]

That you are. [She sighs. The comm picks up the sound of sheets rustling, making it sound like she's back in bed.]

But...you called for a reason...and I'm talking..and listening. Not sure to what, but...I'm here.

[darthvaderfanboy]

I do like the sound of your voice.

[He's repeating himself now, he knows, but it seemed like something worth repeating.]

Just keep talking to me till I'm ready to fall asleep.

[Which won't be very long, judging by the long, drawn-out yawn he gives out.]

[talentedscavenger]

Yours isn't bad either....when we're talking, not fighting.

[So keep him busy until he falls asleep, which shouldn't take too long. Okay, this is easy. She can do this.

Rey starts to list off things, like parts on a ship, or what she would find when she was a scavenger. He likes the sound of her voice, but he didn't give her any direction on what he wanted to hear. If he listens, carefully, he might be able to hear an actual sentence out of her, 'I don't think I can hate you.']

[darthvaderfanboy]

[Kylo is lying down in bed and listens to the sounds of Rey's voice drone on. Occasionally, he mumbles.]

Mmm-hmmm.

[It isn't long before his eyes are beginning to close. He thinks he hears her say that she can't hate him, but it could just be a product of his brain hearing things as he drifts off. It's clear by the sound of heavy breathing that he's finally fallen asleep. He's going to have such a hangover tomorrow.]

[talentedscavenger]

....Goodnight, Ren.

[Rey ends the comm there, finally able to go back to sleep. In the morning she'll strongly consider everything that transpired last night to be a dream. There was no way Kylo Ren would have reached out to her because he 'likes the sound of her voice'.

Nor would she recognize his frequency if he tried messaging or calling her again. The morning should be fun for both of them.]
