midnight texting


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!

Because no one planned for your scurrying.

[ evidently. ]

Befriending vermin is a poor habit, Vash.

Seems like an oversight.
Like other less good with directions people might get a little lost in them.

[ 'like... other less... good... with directions... people'... ]

You think yourself an intuitive navigator.
Tell me where in this tower you have squirmed, then.

( Only one of them has eaten the dictionary, okay! )

Hang on.
I have to find a grate.

The kitchen.
You have a kitchen, right?
I can see a sink and a kettle.

[ ... an interlude to think it through and rationalize: yes, there is indeed a communal kitchen for the lessers in this tower to waste time doing things like 'sipping tea' and 'munching.' ]

Yes.

You won't move from this location.


You'll give me time to find it


[ somewhere on the sixth floor-? fifth? an annex to a conference room, but which...

either way, that final full stop is lost to Knives' hurrying through the halls and peeking into every space to find this alleged kitchen.

( HE SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING.

Either way, Vash goes ass above head in an attempt to roll back away from the kitchen grate, phone clanging when it slips out of his pocket.
)

Heyheyheyhey.
You don't have to come find me! You're busy, right? So go back to whatever you were doing.
I'm not even in here for nefarious purposes!!!

What purpose, Vash?
To what end


[ a pause hefty with the clamor of searching. and perhaps, if he's getting warmer at all, Vash can hear it -- the quick open-and-shut of doors, one after another. ]

are you crawling around with the spiders?

What is above that I did not provide you with down below?

I PANICKED, OKAY?


( Wow.

Why does there need to be so many doors in this place? Who needs all of them? Guys who have people-sized vents, apparently.
)

Your buddy was coming and I just.
Saw the vent. Hopped on in. And then I was already there, so I decided to check the space out. You know I'm not good at being in one place, I was just wandering.


( Also he's starting to think that Legato is a weird bastard, so. Hiding. )
