midnight textings


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!

Ah, "Insufferable Whelp". It would seem they left a few names intact. How kind.

I thought I was abundantly clear, "Worse Than Lahabrea."

How did you even get this number?

Our dear friend invited me to your little "group chat", of which I have promptly muted. To think I had been under the impression your discussions in person were lacking in substance.

It was only prudent I take roll of all those in attendance, wouldn't you agree?

I believe common courtesy dictates that if you're in a group chat with a number you don't recognize, you simply carry on without messaging that person directly to ask their identity.

Then again, what do I know? Surely the Ascians decided on what defined politeness eons ago.

I have a right to know with whom my own information is being made privy to, do I not? Or is that a luxury that only you and yours can be afforded?

Such niceties have woefully gone out of fashion in this age, I will say. We had little need for such clumsy devices to carry on a conversation.

You could leave the group chat, you know.

[ Literally no one asked you to join their party, either!! ]
