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!

[ Oops. Not the intended recipient. Well that's embarrassing and doesn't happen often. ]

A hunter.

[ BE GOOD AND FORGET THIS EXCHANGE, STRANGER. ]

Of humans?

[ Eizen could forgive and forget, but it's alarming enough that this stranger got his number in the first place that he isn't just going to let it go. ]

If necessary.

Does that bother you?

Not necessarily. If anything, I'd wonder why it was humans specifically.

There's more to the universe than humankind.

I'm well aware. My question still stands. Do you have a vendetta against humanity or something?

[ Stranger is too curious or too defensive for their own good. She should not even be humoring this or at least be asking more questions but that is a question that begs a strong if succinct feeling. ]

My vendettas aren't so superficial. Humans are capable of great good and great evil.

So are daemons and malakhim.
Since your message clearly wasn't meant for me, who was it meant for?

Another hunter.

Not of those two species if it's any comfort. Unless it pays well enough.

It doesn't make much difference to me.

So when you say hunter, you mean bounty hunter.

Depends.

Are you hiring?
outtaluck: (047)

[personal profile] outtaluck 2021-09-21 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah.

I can clean up my own messes.
raisedbybirds: (z018)

[personal profile] raisedbybirds 2021-09-21 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Implying you also make them.

It's part of my job.
raisedbybirds: (z051)

[personal profile] raisedbybirds 2021-09-21 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
So you're bad at your job?
outtaluck: (018)

[personal profile] outtaluck 2021-09-22 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
I meant making the messes, not cleaning them up.
