texts at midnight time

[1sts]

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!

Well it's a good thing you'd look beautiful with it then.

That's good at least. Are you allowed to give him any gifts?

Thank you! 💕

[shrikesback]

I might look older than you.

Same as I always can - some, with a lot of restrictions on what's allowed. He liked the painting I did before, though, so I think I'll do another.

no problem :)

[captain_bitterness]

I doubt that.

That sounds like a good idea, it's probably much nicer for him to see the art you make than bare walls and bars.

[shrikesback]

It's not impossible.

Probably. I've got a few photos I'm getting printed out, too.

I really wish I could just hug him. I miss that.

[captain_bitterness]

Yes it is, considering how young you are compared to me.

They don't let you hug him? Why not?

[shrikesback]

You don't really look your age either.

No touching allowed.

[captain_bitterness]

It's because I have a good skincare routine and I'm Asian.

Why not?

[shrikesback]

Yeah I'm pretty sure everyone who met you at the memorial assumed you were at least a decade younger if not more than that.

Depends on who you ask. Officially they have lines about passing on contraband, possible violence, that kind of thing. Really I'm pretty sure it's because they're fascist shitheads on a power trip over denying whatever basic human dignities they can.

[captain_bitterness]

I'm surprised they even really noticed me.

That's probably it.
Hrm.
All right.

[shrikesback]

Tony did.

It sucks. I try not to think about it, but on holidays it's hard not to.

[captain_bitterness]

Mmn. Does that bother you?

It's awful and I'm sorry they are such assholes.

[shrikesback]

Only when he's an ass.

Thanks.

What about you, do you do anything with your friends for the holidays?

[captain_bitterness]

Does he know that we're seeing one another now?

I don't really do holiday things, I'll buy some gifts but that's it.

[shrikesback]

He has his suspicions.

Do Leslie and the others also not do anything or is it just that they can't convince you to join in?

[captain_bitterness]

Do you want to tell him?

Leslie loves holidays and Tommy likes them as well, me and Sadie area indifferent.

[shrikesback]

Kind of. I want to, but I don't want him to be an ass about it. Especially since you prefer your privacy and all.

Leslie seems like the type that loves holidays.

[captain_bitterness]

Ah I see.

She does, she gets very excited about them.

[shrikesback]

Would it be alright if I told Vivienne, though?

Which is her favorite?

[captain_bitterness]

Do you think you can trust her not to talk about me to anyone else?

Christmas and Halloween.

[shrikesback]

Yes. She's good at keeping secrets.

Oh, good choices. Halloween is a good one.

[captain_bitterness]

Then yes.

Do you enjoy Halloween?

[shrikesback]

Thank you.

Yes. I don't usually do anything for it, but it's nice seeing everyone else in a costume for a change.

[captain_bitterness]

You're welcome.

If you had to pick a costume to wear though, what would it be?

[shrikesback]

Probably some obscure literary reference I inevitably have to explain. How about you?

[captain_bitterness]

That would be very charming.
As a general rule I don't dress up in costumes but if I had to I'd go simple and be death.
