There are plenty of normal person texting memes. Texts from hot messes and mom friends, texts for normal days, texts for booty calls. You know what we don't have? Texts from holy shit we're going to die what the fuck is this. That's right. It's time to chit-chat when shit is going bad. We'll give you some ideas to get you started, but you're not tethered to them! We're not the apocalypse cops. You can make top level texts to give people ideas or leave it blank and let the horror come to you!
TYPES
1. REGULAR TEXTS Whatever is going on, texting still works. You can get hold of loved ones even if it's spotty. Warnings during a contagion outbreak? Messaging mom while being chased by an axe murderer? 2. SPACE TEXTS Sure, you're getting chased by a Xenomorph, but you really need to send pizza hut the pizza emoji so they bring you some food. Maybe you're contacting loved ones via text (or hologram voicemail or whatever) before going to a final battle. 3. NO TEXTS Things are way too fucked up. Every form of texting is down. There's nothing doing to fix it, but you have to get word out somehow. Messages spray painted on walls, notes left in safe houses, letters sent via courier. Do you meet along the way somewhere? Catch someone scrawling a warning? 4. BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE Something a little more light-hearted. Maybe you're stuck at a shitty date and need a friend to get you out. Maybe you're lost in the woods and need help. Maybe your car broke down and you're on the side of the road.
As always, these are just suggestions. Make up anything you want, as long as you're having fun!
[ Early in the war, Lily Potter disappears. It's not long after one of the times You-Know-Who asked the Potters to join him. For a couple of excruciating weeks, it looks as though she is dead. She's spotted though, among Death Eaters: those that don't know her well assume she defected. Those that do know her well believe that she is working for their side still.
They have to believe that. Things have been rising to a fever pitch lately and then, a number of months after her initial disappearance: ]
Good news: he's dead.
Non-news: I'm so, so, so sorry that I couldn't say anything.
Regular scenario: World ending, zombie rising crap's going down. Not sure who's fault but Stark's probably to blame.
No Text scenario: Note left inside a SHIELD safe house: 'Position compromised. Feels like Budapest. In one piece this time thou but almost out of Pop Tarts.'
Bright Side Of Life scenario: I swear this date is a soul vampire, they're sucking out my will to live. Help.
