the texting picture prompt meme.

[acascuse]

THE TEXTING PICTURE PROMPT MEME A picture says more than a thousand words... You're in the middle of something, maybe not something important (though, who can say, maybe it was), but you were in the middle of this maybe unimportant thing anyway and it interrupts you, when your phone beeps and a message ticks in. It's a picture. Someone took a picture and sent it your way. Does it make you happy? Curious? Do you want to know more? If yes, text them back! Inquire! Tell them what the picture makes you think about, how it makes you feel. And on that note, converse! How to play: 1. Top-level with your character. Include prefs and the like, if you wish. 2. Others now leave a comment with a picture their character has sent to yours. 3. Have your character respond with a text, then go tag around as you wish. 4. They text back, you text back, everyone texts like their lives depended on it. 5. Be entertained!

battleship.

[ literally the first game that came to mind that he remembers. ]

almost as strategic as chess in a way.

[cuculidae]

I've never played.

What's the objective?

[proudstars]

you sink the other person's battleship.

[ pretty simple. ]

you didn't message me to talk about board games, did you? what's the chess set for?

[cuculidae]

No, I didn't.

[ would that she had. ]

It's symbolic. Reeva set it up.

[ the mutant underground being white and the inner circle being black. ]

[proudstars]

[ of course she did. battle of good versus...a different type of good? ]

who's winning?

[cuculidae]

Well, you have your queen back.

[ and andy — their knight. hence the image of the reset board. ]

I'd say the game is anyone's, if the right moves are made.

[proudstars]

what piece are you?

[ if everyone had their own specific figure, he's curious as to what she is. knight? bishop? hopefully not a pawn. ]

[cuculidae]

The knight. Well, one of them.

[ but honestly, when you're aligned with someone like reeva payge, who could say? ]

You know this isn't going to end well, don't you?

[ not a threat, just the obvious. ]

[proudstars]

for us or for you?

[ or was the answer all of the above?E ]

[cuculidae]

For all of us.

[ between their war and the ever-looming threat of the purifiers, who knows what the toll will be? ]

[proudstars]

it'd be nice to avoid that all together, don't you think?

[cuculidae]

It would, but it's not possible.

[ not with the finish line so close in sight. ]

[proudstars]

i don't want people to die.
do you?

[cuculidae]

Not unnecessarily I don't, no.

[proudstars]

when it's necessary, in your eyes, to kill someone?

[ deep thoughts with john hour. ]

[cuculidae]

When there's no other choice or when it's a public service.

[ look, some people are just the worst. see: jace turner and moustachio. ]

Being a former US marine, I would think you'd understand at least one of those.

[proudstars]

i do.
doesn't mean i like it.
or want to keep doing this with my life.
i've seen too many of my friends die.

[cuculidae]

It's not about liking it.
It's about doing what has to be done.

[proudstars]

you sound like a robot when you say that. you're repeating someone else's lines.

[cuculidae]

Doesn't make it any less true.

[proudstars]

it does if you don't believe what you're saying.

[cuculidae]

Around here, we all believe the same thing. We have to.

[ the most important rule of the inner circle? be on the same page as payge. ]

[proudstars]

why?

[cuculidae]

Because we made a commitment.

[proudstars]

that's not a great reason.
