Get your gen texts here
 texting meme You’ve got your TFLN, you’ve got your sexting, now here’s the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. (Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.) instructions: What it says on the tin! Leave a comment with your character, include preferences, a start, absolutely nothing or whatever you want. Run around and reply to others. Lather, rinse, repeat. |

In addition to getting other people to do her work for her, and being a bit of a con artist. Oh, oh! And being the most powerful, beguiling witch on the planet!]It's not the compliments I live for, it's the art. Well, that and being paid well for it.
[You know, that's not a bad idea. But she's not sure you're seeing The Vision.] No no no, that's all wrong! This is more of a nature documentary.
[There's a brief pause... the calm before the storm, really. Then a series of short messages come, all in a quick burst.]
Wait.
WAIT.
We can use dramatic license and craft these pengyons into popular archetypal characters! You and Rokurou are a pair of committed pengyons, and he's almost died for you in the past. And now, he's willing to do the same against a ferocious, evil daemon. It's brilliant!
[You can only blame yourself for this, you know.]
no subject
She is a multitalented little witch~!][ Poor Magilou, she'll never hear the quiet chuckle that slipped out at that remark. Text to the rescue! ]
I see...
[ Not realy ..but more importantly, she had momentarily ignored that little sense of -dread- that had surfaced briefly during that pause between Magilou's texts. She should have paid attention to it because she's staring at the message incredulously. ]
Wh...
WHAT?
[ OH GOD WHAT HAS SHE DONE. ]
...
[ She's actually stumped for words for a moment there. ]
How.. is any of that part of a nature documentary? [ now it's just performance art~! ...although it'd probably appeal more to the kids. ]
no subject
Why hasn't she found a wealthy patron to support her art? It's a mystery.][She never heard the chuckle, but Velvet doesn't see the fiendish grin that's now crossed her lips. Is she really serious about any of this, or is she just reveling in getting a reaction? Or could it be, *gasp*... both?]
The facts educate the kiddies, but the story keeps them interested and invested. I'm sure this technique will be HUGE in a few years.
Though that means Eleanor would have to be the evil monster? I wonder if she could pull it off.
[That would probably get some major points on the Unintended Comedy Scale, at least.]
no subject
It clearly is a fault of the patron, and in no way because of anything Magilou has said or done.][ Velvet would probably bet both. Leaning more towards reactions though. ]
... if it's an evil monster you need isn't it be more likely that I should have that role?
[ Too obvious? Of course it wasn't like she disliked Rokurou, he was the first person she met - after Magilou and Seres obviously - after escaping the prison. But having a 'nice' role w hen she was convinced she was anything but..? ]
no subject
Yes, and any stories about her taking the money and leaving town in the middle of the night are a scandalous lie by people who are jealous of her talent![...you know her well.]
You're playing against type in this piece. It's a time honored fictional technique.
[That... and she already
stolebought your costume.]I've got it! You're ALL THREE pengyons! A great big adorable pengyon family!
And I, Magilou, shall play the tragically misunderstood daemon whose tragic fall will bring tears to the eyes of even the most jaded person in the audience!
...or I'll just ask Dyle to do it.
no subject
Never change, Magilou!][ As much as she might like to deny it, Little Miss Witchy Poo :D ]
You're... not going to take "No" for an answer, are you.
[ Of course not, silly Velvet. ]
Heh - I bet he'll love that. [ ... actually he might. Or he'll complain about it. With him, he liked to complain but still volunteered for stuff. Weirdo. ]
no subject
even though she'd never do such a thing because she respects Velvet too much... WHAT HAVE YOU PEOPLE DONE TO HER??]You're catching on now! And here I thought you were going to make me beg. Dignity saved!
I bet there's a great performer hiding under those scales. [The trick is pouty face. Eyes wide, maybe throw in a little lip quiver, he'll do anything. Not that Magilou ever used that to get food from him...] I guess I could just sit this one out and watch from the crowd like a proud stage mom!
no subject
Quick, cover it up!].... fine, fine. ... but maybe I should have held out a little longer, just for the unlikely possibility of seeing you beg. [ Gasp, teasing? Surely the world is ending. ]
[ Is there no level to which you won't sink, Magi? For shame! ]
... are you sure you'd be able to do that?
[ She somehow thinks Magilou might watch the first few minutes, and the moment the actors started ad-libbing off script she'd jump right in to try and restore control to the mess they'd make of it! ... that and can she REALLY resist the spotlight?
Also she can't imagine Magilou as any kind of mom. ]
no subject
[That's a stunned (text) silence in response. Is Velvet feeling well? Does she need some daemons to eat?] So, you'd enjoy even MY suffering? You really are every bit the monster they say you! [Though now she'll do it when Velvet least expects it, make a big production number out of it. Maybe in the middle of a town.]
Don't worry, I'll be sure to bask in the adoration of the crowd when they give a standing ovation! [Plus if she's not in it and it bombs, she can just slink out the back door and deny everything.]
[Just ask Bienfu, she'd be a WONDERFUL mother!
Actually, don't. The thought of a Little Magilou to torment him might just make the poor Normin run away again.]no subject
Every bit and more. I should think you'd remember that, as long as we've traveled together.
[ ... ohgod if Magilou did that, Velvet would just..WALK AWAY and try to pretend she didn't know her. Just. Magilou why are you so weird! ]
That's... about what I thought. Fine fine, just, let the others know beforehand. And I don't mean on the day of this performance. [ Like usual. ]
[
Poor poor Bienfu. He puts up with so much~ ]no subject
And here I thought after everything we'd been through, I might be spared your terrible wrath! You really know how to make someone feel unappreciated.
[You can just see Velvet grabbing Laphicet by the hand and saying loudly, "Stay away from the strange witch, young man." As for why... well Velvet, you HAVE met her adopted father.]
What do you take me for? [Wait, don't answer that.] They've got to start memorizing their lines, don't they? And then there's rehearsals, workshopping, test performances... It's not like there's anything else we have to do, is there?
[
C'mon, in return, Magilou... um... er... well... yeah, he puts up with a lot.]no subject
Meh. If I really thought you were useless I would have consumed you by now. You're fine.
[ That's Velvetspeak for, 'I value you as an ally and friend.' Kinda.
She'd totally do that. Or Eleanor would. Though really, Melchior having anything to do with Magilou being... Magilou? -.o ]
... workshopping?
[ A slight pause. ]
Well... not at the moment but... [ STILL. ]
no subject
[That true, Eleanor's gotten a lot harder to trick lately. They've been
greatterrible influences on that poor girl. As for Melchior, well... probably not, but it gives her something, or someone, to blame it all on.]You know, read the script out loud and see how we can improve it. It's all a very important part of crafting a hit show!
So... relax and have fun for a change! Don't worry, we won't tell anyone and ruin your rep.
no subject
[ Well she can allow Magilou having someone to blame for everything. It was valid, probably everything she blamed him for he likely was responsible for it. Melchior to Magilou was kind of like Artorious was to Velvet. With some differences. ]
*sigh* I can't shake the feeling that you're putting too many hopes onto something as frivolous as this.
[ It's not going to end the way you want it to, Magi! ... Unless that's your plan for amusement to begin with! ]
no subject
I was hoping you'd at least respect my privacy! We'll have to put "lack of manners" at the top of the list of your transgressions!
[She'd never admit as much, but Melchior IS the reason she can be a little... odd. But even Magilou would admit she'd not lost nearly as much as Velvet.]
One can't go on playing the greatest hits forever! If you don't take chances, you'll never grow as an artist.
[She'll find the humor in it, should things go poorly! But, deep down? Maybe she's just a teeny tiny bit proud of this.
Don't laugh at her baby, Velvet!]no subject
[ Gasp, you actually got a laugh out of her! (more than that, actually, she might have even smiled! ]
I've done much worse than breaking and entering.
That actually makes sense. [ Pause. ] Are you feeling okay?
no subject
Yes, but entering the room of your bestest besty without her permission? That's beyond cruel! I'll have you know, I'd never invade your privacy. [Let's... forget that she once encouraged Laphicet to do just that, shall we?]
Of course I am!
[WAIT.]
Actually, I'm feeling very sick. *cough cough* Perhaps you could be a pal and bring me some soup? And bread? And maybe something sweet for dessert?
[Yes, she really did type out her "coughs".]
no subject
When did we ever become bestest besties, exactly?
[ Clearly, the day they met. IT WAS FATE. And she's about to point out that Magilou wouldn't hesitate to do just that, when she pauses at the (clearly fake) confession of illness. ]
[ Long silence at that too, debating just how to respond. MAYBE she'll be nice this one time and humor the fake-sick. Or maybe she'll make something extremely bitter and godawful to teach her a lesson.. yeah.. YEAHHHHH... MAYBE THAT. ]
Sick, huh?
no subject
Somewhere between the different performances and trying to save the world. I mean, get your vengeance. Those things have a way of bringing people together.
[Poor, trusting Magilou.]
Very! It's a sudden bug, but who knows how long it might last?
no subject
I devoured the last 'best bestie' I had.
[ Ignore her Magilou. Velvet's just being difficult. Then again, it may be one sided Magilou! What if! WHAT. IF. ... well Velvet actually likes Magilou fine - enough to go along with the lunacy anyway. Even if she won't admit to being best besties. ]
You poor thing. Maybe I should come and check on you. It'll be inconvenient for me, if it's serious.
no subject
Well, worse because she's still totally and really VERY SICK.]I suppose you're right, but I'll take my chances. [Magilou's not going to come out and say it's not her fault, but... she's actually not scared.]
Oh, you really are a KIND Lord of Calamity. Just make sure you bring lots of food. It's getting worse, I'm having trouble getting out of bed now!
no subject
Kicks herself]Suit yourself. [ She appreciates it Magi. More than she'll admit to. ]
Yeah yeah. I'll even tuck you in -nice and tight-.
[ You..... you may not be able to move or feel the circulation in your body afterwards... ]
no subject
You're got to have to work a lot harder if you plan on getting rid of me... and by that I mean, earning the money you'd have to pay me to leave.
That's so sweet of you! ...are YOU feeling okay?
[That's okay, um... Bienfu will save her. Right? RIGHT??]
no subject
... I'll keep that in mind. [ Not that she'll actually try. She kind of likes having someone around - even if she does drive Velvet batty and try to get devoured. Weirdo. ]
Oh? Now which bet was that again? [ Yes, feign ignorance. That'll totally work. ]
I'm fine. I just would find it inconvenient if you got worse. You might infact Laphicet, or anyone else.
[ And one of THEM would infect Laphicet. Though she paused -- right, malaks probably don't get sick.... ]
Bienfu? Save Magi? Hahahaah, Not if he values his life. >:) Patients should have Peace and QUIET, and bienfu was anything but when he got going! MWA. HA. HA. ]
no subject
Or cut her off before they happen... that's why she really, legit likes you, Velvet.]There... might've been a few bets, actually. [She DID NOT get tricked into betting on your success. LIES!] But you'd have to pay me at least triple to consider forfeiting it.
Maybe more.
Okay, probably more.
[You can't see it, but she's clutching a hand to her heart in agony.] But how did you know one of them didn't give it to ME? You know how stoic Rokouru can be! And Eleanor wouldn't want anyone worrying about her. So what I'm saying is, I'm probably also the most honest person you know.
