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!

[ she rather likes working with moonlight, but she's feeling recalcitrant and also very comfortable in her chair. and robe. and slippers.

mordred always has the worst timing. ]

what does the spell provide?

[eternalmagic]

Moon murmurs. They're elemental spirits that can act as oracles if you catch them before they dissolve, which is extremely hard to do. Two people have at least a small chance of managing it.

I won't get another lunar eclipse like this one for another hundred years, so I'm not going to miss it.

[ damn it. that sounds enchanting. ]

not sure what makes you think i'd be the right partner for this. i might as well be a repellant for elements of light, given my experience.

[eternalmagic]

If I could be asking anyone else right now, I would.

[And yes that is meant to be at least a little insulting.]

You don't have to do anything except stand there and mirror my hands while I make the runes. Unless, goddess forbid, you decide you actually want to learn something.

[It's said that the more in sync the pair, the easier it is to catch moon murmurs. That being said, Mordred isn't hoping for anything better than luck.]

[reincarnating]

[ she doesn't flinch; somehow she has a feeling he'd sense it.

a pause, and then: ]

only once in a hundred years?

[eternalmagic]

Give or take. A central lunar eclipse on a supermoon isn't so very rare, but the particular planetary alignment syncing up with it makes it much more so.

It's something you wouldn't want to miss.

[ her sigh is heavy enough that the curtains behind her billow with the traces of resignation that trail after her mood shift.

she needs to work on that. the emotional bleeding. but to ask mordred for help when she still can't get a full grasp on his intentions continues to make her exceedingly nervous.

perhaps small doses of exposure under other intents could help her get a bead on him. ]

alright. i'll help. at least i'll try.

[eternalmagic]

[To tell the truth, Mordred had braced for her to put up more of a fight, under the usual refrain of not trusting him or wanting to get caught up in the mischief he brings with him. He would have been stubborn, of course, but time is of the essence, and he wouldn't have been able to argue forever.

So this is more than a pleasant surprise. It even softens him a little - cautiously, not willing to let it put him in a vulnerable position.]

Any help is far better than none. You can play the mirror game, can't you? That's all I ask.
