midnight texting

[lowlaw]

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!

Oh, you know. It's a lot greener than New York.

[androcidal]

is that sarcasm? ;)

[pascere]

No, it would have to be untrue to qualify as sarcasm.
I grew up here, you'd think I'd expect it by now, but here we are.
Or here I am, I guess. Tell me, does New York still smell of piss? I've already forgotten the delicate subtleties of the aroma.

[androcidal]

piss and smog, just like usual
and the vague undercurrent of disdain for anyone not from new york ;)
how's the book coming?

[pascere]

God, I hate that fucking question.

[androcidal]

poorly, I take it? 😂

[pascere]

You remember that feeling in college like you were never really done so whenever you did anything that wasn't studying you felt guilty? Being a writer is like that but forever.
Anyway, I'm still settling in. I'm sure it'll come to me.
How's Bingo?

[androcidal]

I still feel that way constantly, so I sincerely apologize for asking
he's good
keeping cal warm while I work ot at the office

[pascere]

I guess your work is never done either.
How self-absorbed of me, Jesus. Another hallmark of all the great writers so I'm sure I'll be considered in their ranks in no time.
Don't you make a salary?

[androcidal]

salary, yes
more work than there are hours in the day? also yes
and don't worry about it
you've got your mind on other things, I'm not offended at all 😉

[pascere]

Oh, I see how it is. 😒

[androcidal]

what??
I meant your book
unless something else came to mind?? 👀

[pascere]

Isn't this leading the witness or something?

[androcidal]

and that's dodging the question

[pascere]

I regret ever telling you anything.
Nothing's happening.

[ She thinks about that for a moment. ]

Nothing's going to happen.

[androcidal]

nothing at all??

[pascere]

Is it really that surprising? That's not why I'm here, and I don't need the distraction.
Besides, we haven't been in each other's lives since we were kids.
