TEXTING MEME
You’ve got your TFLN, you’ve got your sexting, now here’s the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. (Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.)

instructions: What it says on the tin! Leave a comment with your character, include preferences, a start, absolutely nothing or whatever you want. Run around and reply to others. Lather, rinse, repeat.

This is why you're the strict dad and I'm the cool dad.
I know you're right, of course. But sometimes I just look at those sweet faces and want to spoil them, you know?

I do and I don't. I know people get like that, but I'm not one of them. I'm not tricked into thinking they look cute. Their treat is to be treated properly, which they should be thankful for. Raptors are always little terrors.

I'm a soft touch, I can admit that.
I get attached. I know we're not supposed to, but I do. Watching their eyes open for the first time, seeing their hand cling to my finger. It all just melts my heart.
We're creating LIFE! It's incredible.

I'll never have human children of my own, but this? This is good.

It is, but you're also creating life that is very good at ending life once it's grown. That doesn't make it any less incredible, but I wouldn't call it sweet. I suppose it's good I'm in charge of feeding and not you. You'd have them much rounder than they're meant to be.

You could adopt, you know. A human or animal.

So are humans, technically. Doesn't mean we stop creating those, does it?
I promise to behave and not pass out treats behind your back. Though no promises that I won't coo at them whenever I visit, and tell them what pretty girls they are.

I could, I suppose.
But I'm also old and cranky, and not home very much.
Maybe one day if I retire I'll get a cat, or something. A tiny predator if my own.

Humans aren't lethal at eight months.
I'll know why you end up with nine fingers without you telling me. Remind me to put an extra barrier up around their pen.

I have never seen you seriously cranky. And I bet you'd be home more if you had someone to look after.

Maybe I don't NEED all ten fingers :(

Well. I have you now, don't I?
Though I think you look after me more than I look after you.

You do. They're useful.

That's a good point. I'd end up looking after both of you.
I'm going to have to learn how to cook better. Otherwise you'll only ever eat steak and curry.

You're no fun :(

See? I don't need a cat, because I'm already yours. Considering you make sure I'm fed and manage some sort of sleep a few nights a week.
It's better than whatever I manage to make for myself, honestly.
I once forgot that you need to boil the water before you put pasta in.
Though in my defense it was almost 3am.

If you think that, you're not thinking about what you can do with your many fingers.

How offended would you be if I got the engineers to rig up an automatic feeder for you?

Oh no, trust me, I do think about that quite often. And to great effect.

ROBERT! :(
Extremely.
Have you ever thought that half the reason I do sit down and eat is because it's time with you?

Then you should know that more fingers mean more fun. Keep your fingers. I want them.

... I hadn't, no.
Maybe I'm not such a bad influence after all

Well. Now I'm just thinking about you and my fingers.
You know I like when you're a little bossy.

It's true! It's more about the experience than it is the food.
You could serve me a plain pb&j and I'd be happy because I'm eating with with you.

Just a little?

Does that mean I could get you to eat a salad as long as I was having lunch with you?

More than a little. Did you forget so easily that I asked you to set traps for me and/or chase me down if I were late for our first date?
YES, I like you bossy.
It's sexy.

You could. You could absolutely get me to eat a salad if you sat down and had it with me.
I'm easily manipulated.

I'll have to remember to put that to good use. And not abuse that power at all.

I'm not sure if it's manipulation if you're so aware of it.

Oh no, I will have to endure the consequences, I suppose :\
Whatever those may be.

Maybe it is because you're using me to get what you want?
Which just happens to be me eating the occasional vegetable.

Your silence speaks volumes, James :(

Honestly that's not a bad idea? Treat myself once in a while.
Why not, if I'm doing most of my drinking here.
(Don't read too much into that.)

The Thin Mints are entirely at your disposal. I like the Tagalongs, personally.
Or Peanut Butter Patties, whatever their current name is.

That's genuinely so sweet? What a good shark dad you are.
Shark uncle? Shark-whatever-title-you-choose-for-yourself!
They really are, honestly. "Shark infested" has always bothered me, as a phrase.
It's not an infestation, that's their home. We don't say people infested houses.

(Also, her name is Sue, after the Chicago T-Rex :) )
