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!

Caleb...I know it has been a little while. I hope you are well.

I wanted to tell you that I've left the outpost.

[volstrucker]

[ caleb's heart leaps into his throat the moment he reads those words. is he safe? has something happened? ]

i am as well as i can be, given the circumstances.

did you leave of your own volition? or did you catch wind of something worth following?

[thelyss]

I was able to leave without much trouble, but...I will not be able to return there. And certainly not to Eiselcross, at least for quite some time.

[volstrucker]

i understand.

[ and he does. still, he worries, the anxiety twisting in his chest. is essek safe? ]

where are you now?

[thelyss]

I am safe, for now. I know you will understand that I cannot say more for the moment.

[ Although time will tell if that safety is false. He will have to keep moving. ]

I do hope that...I can see you again...sometime soon.

[volstrucker]

i do.

[ he does.

a long pause passes, full of anxiety and uncertainty. ]

why have you decided to tell me of your departure?

[thelyss]

Because I wanted someone to know.

Because I wouldn't want you to try returning to find me there again only to possibly put yourself in danger.

[volstrucker]

[ whether essek intends it or not, caleb picks up on a hidden meaning: try. find me. ]

i see. i understand.

i will see you very soon, essek. i’ll make sure of that.

[thelyss]

[ They will find one another. If nothing else, he has faith in that. ]

Are you well? Have you recuperated yet from our misadventures into Aeor?

[volstrucker]

i am... trying to do so, yes. veth and her family provide the best of comforts.

you could come here, you know. to rest.

[thelyss]

[ there's a pause before the next reply. ]

Perhaps, after a little time has passed. I would not want to intrude, nor possibly bring more danger to her door.

[volstrucker]

i understand.

[ he does. but. ugh. ]

have you been able to stop thinking about the runes we found in the journal by the fissure?
i haven't.
