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!

[ And, a few minutes later-- can you hear him yelling and cursing loudly a few rooms away, Colin? The sort of creative string of obscenities that would make even sailors blush.

Finally:

Oh ha fucking ha.

I can't even say which is worse: the fact that I yet again still clicked the damn thing, or that it was also a fucking terrible article. Utterly incomprehensible.

Well, that's the beauty of it. You really have to admire the efficiency of the packaging.

And, you know, half of it winds up being porn anyway.

Now what's all this about pornography?

[ He has clearly abandoned his texting letter-style format by this point but that requires effort, you see, and talking to Colin is always, er... draining... ]

You mean to tell me you've linked to pornography and I bloody missed it?

There's some very interesting speculation that the switch from tabloidism in printed form to its use on the internet came from the success of sensationalized titles attracting clicks to some videos over others in the porn community.

[and the link he attaches will, in fact, just be to a porn library with particularly ridiculous names attached to the videos.

because Colin Robinson is sort of a friend. sometimes. (also full, so.)
