Midnight Texting

[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!

[At midnight]

[unfatalist]

A riveting tale indeed, Noct. And?

[son are you seriously waking him up with this in the middle of the astrals-be-damned night how old are you even]

I'm sorry ignis

[nocts]

[He already texted Prompto but he didn't help]

It's burning.

this is his life this is the prince he has sworn his existence to

[unfatalist]

Is anything ACTIVELY ON FIRE?

[nocts]

1/3: I suppose the eggshells. There's smoke

2/3: sec

3/3: ok water doesnt help

[unfatalist]

Noct.

Have you turned the stove OFF.

[nocts]

uhhhh


I think?

idk its still warm

the explosion surprised me

[unfatalist]

Determine immediately whether it is still on. If it is, CAREFULLY turn it off.

Contain the flames (if any) by ensuring there is nothing flammable in the immediate vicinity of the stove.

How did you set out to cook this egg, precisely?

[nocts]

[Ten minutes of silence in which he tries to follow the instructions and wonders why he texted Prompto first. Ah, right- Ignis will destroy him tomorrow at training for waking him up. Oops.]

Turned off. Moved everything away from the stove

there's still smoke and it stinks

...I was hungry. Placed an egg in pot with water and waited for it to boil. But it exploded.

[something doesn't match up there...]

[unfatalist]

You might try opening a window.

[he is so tired and his tone is as dry as a boneyard]

An egg submerged in water will neither catch fire nor smoke, Noctis. Try again.

1/3

[...]

2/3

[nocts]

[..............]

3/3

[nocts]

I got distracted by King's Knight and forgot about it...

[unfatalist]

[are we sure we want to allow this boy to be king i mean are we REALLY]

And all the water boiled off, I presume.

[nocts]

[... he's not going to cook as a king! uh, hopefully...]

and the pot melted with the stove

[unfatalist]

Melted WITH, or melted TO?

[nocts]

TO the stove sorry, stove didnt melt

[it was close tho]

[unfatalist]

[Welp. Goodbye, warm bed. Goodbye, comforter and pillow and ten thousand thread count sheets. Duty calls.]

I can see my firsthand presence may be needed. I'll be there shortly.

For the time being, try to ensure that nothing else catches fire and do not allow yourself to become distracted from this again.

[nocts]

I mean I just toss this out and get new one in the morning, you don't have to come

[Toss entire stove out. Simple, easy solution.

Third stove in last six months.]

I just needed help to stop fire

[unfatalist]

You cannot continue simply discarding and replacing your appliances as a remedy for carelessness, Noctis.

[nocts]

[ufffff full name!]

I know I swear I'll be more careful. We can fix this in the morning then, don't get out of the bed for this

[He does feel bad for waking him up. He's not going to say it.]

[unfatalist]

I'm already up.

And as I would prefer that your apartment remain as unhazardous to your health as possible between now and the dawn, I'll be over to assess things shortly.

[nocts]

[...]

Can you bring some food? Gladio ate last cup noodles when he was over and I'm still hungry.

[That's the reason why he even bothered to boil an egg.]

[unfatalist]

...

Very well. Is there space at your table for two, or am I to clean that off upon my arrival as well?

[nocts]

I promise, the table is intact. Clean and sparkly.

[Tablecloth might be charred, but that's not important.]
