midnight textings

[cherrytrees]

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!

[thechancellor]

Have you taken in anything I just said?

Now, Noctis.

[reeler]

[ Such a pain in the ass, but.. ]

Ignis is up. We're cleaning up the camp. Ready to leave in about ten minutes.

[thechancellor]

That's better.

Alert me when you are nearing the city.

[reeler]

We're about five minutes out.

Stay in the inn, right? Or outside the city?

[thechancellor]

Park off the road. I will meet you outside the city.

[The less attention they draw the better. Noctis has to finish his tasks, and if someone in Niflheim came to their senses enough to truly expose him to the elites there, then guiding the young king without revealing all would infinitely more difficult.

Ravus likely poses the most immediate threat. And if he tells his sister... it might already be too late.]

You may not recognize me immediately when I approach. A simple pair of blue jeans and a black sweater make quite the remarkable difference.

[reeler]

Didn't think I'd ever see you in regular clothes.

Are you hungry?

[ Mumble mumble something about good manners, or whatever.]

[thechancellor]

Dull, uncomfortable clothes would be a more apt description.

No.

[Ardyn is surprised by the question. But he has no need to eat and doesn't feel in the mood to put on the farce of mortal behavior at the moment. His thoughts are far more consumed by weighing the benefits and drawbacks of revealing more about himself now or later.

He hates that his plan has been so badly disrupted.]

If you and yours are, stop to eat before we meet.

[reeler]

It's fine. For once, I'm not hungry.

They'll eat. We can meet. Fair? Promise I won't even laugh at your "dull" clothes.

[thechancellor]

You shouldn't make promises you can't keep.

[But he almost laughs to himself at Noctis' message. A small bit of levity isn't the worst in such a serious situation.]

And yes. That will work perfectly well. Assuming, of course, that they are aware you are meeting with me and don't believe I've come in the night to steal you away.

[reeler]

Well, have you come in the night to steal me away?

[thechancellor]

No, even though everything would be much quicker and more efficient if I did.

[reeler]

So why not?

Sentimental?

[thechancellor]

Practical. We might make better time, but I doubt you would appreciate being kidnapped and dragged around against your will.

There is so much you still don't know, isn't there?

[reeler]

Not for lack of trying, you know.

How am I supposed to know everything?

[thechancellor]

It... isn't worth arguing over this. We must focus on how to move forward from here.

How much do you know concerning the prophecy surrounding you as of now?

[reeler]

Not much. Less than you, I bet.

What can you tell me?

[thechancellor]

Nothing over the phone. We must speak in person.

[Not just for privacy concerns, but because he would prefer if Noctis didn't turn back straight away before he could even have his say.]

[reeler]

Of course. Guess I'll see you soon.
