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!

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.

[shrikesback]

You just want to watch me get more and more exasperated with other people as I am faced with the consequences of my own actions.

Cloak and skull mask and plastic scythe or something more stylistic?

[captain_bitterness]

Not at all, I know you have good taste in literature so you'd pick something clever and attractive.

Cloak, face covered with black fabric so no one can see it and a real scythe.

[shrikesback]

Well now I'll have to look into actually doing something.

A REAL one? Won't that scare people or get you in trouble?

[captain_bitterness]

Do you have a favorite literature character?

Of course a real one.
And it's Halloween, aren't you supposed to scare people?

[shrikesback]

That's like asking if someone has a favorite child.

I'd say the cops aren't likely to buy that excuse but I imagine getting their attention is something you're good at avoiding.

[captain_bitterness]

All right, what are some of your top ones?

Of course.
