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!

[Has Bob been avoiding him? He hopes not. Things have been pretty intense around here, though. Maybe he's been intense too. He's just like that sometimes, though.]

I'm not actually sure. Mel set it up for me.
I'm not great with internet stuff.

[He's just terminally anxious sometimes and trying to navigate making amends with his traditional "making cards and cakes for shoving people in personalized torture rooms." he's unsure how to manage that or if he needs to or if he just keeps working on powers or.]

Damn. There's like five around they're all some variation of "OXE.Tower" and I can't get ahold of anybody. Is she like, your assistant too? Do we ask her for things we might ...need. I'm hesitant to go out.

[Bucky knows the feeling. Maybe not in the exact same way, but a form of it. His amends weren't so straightforward either.]

She said we can ask her for things we need, yeah. I try not to, but she's in charge of things like that.

The password was changed from oxetower though. It's something more generic now.

[Why is having superpowers hard. Especially world shaping ones that break reality. He stares.

Then. Ten minutes later.]

I have no right to ask this, but I was gonna ask if we could get a subscription to one of the streaming services? They kind of help me calm down. Like. Hulu or Disney Plus or HBO. I'll do extra work. Sweep or something. Normally my roommates and I would split the bill on that but since I don't know how you guys feel about it I'll like. If you give me something to do I'll do it.

[In addition to working on his abilities.]

You've got every right to ask it, Bob. I think we've got the Netflix one, and HBO. If you want the others we can probably get those too.

We all get a stipend. You're a part of that too. The streaming services are for everyone though, so don't even worry about it.

[...Of course it's not just room and board.]

Great!

[...He can fly anywhere he wants. And do...anything he wants. Holy shit money is kind of pointless unless it's for streaming services or like. Cartoons.]

I guess I'll ask Mel for the passwords then. My Disney Account and Hulu accounts are probably dead but I'll make new ones.

[He considers this.]

What do you watch?

[ Bucky hopes that Bob doesn't just fly off anywhere he wants to, though. He should at least stay in the vicinity of the tower. ]

Yeah, she'll know it faster than it would take me to figure it out.

Me? Uh. I like those renovation shows.

[Like he's going to leave. Like he wants to leave. Like he's not panicking every time he stares outside man.]

Oh! Like Property Brothers? That's about my speed. I'll give it a shot. Are you good with Baking Shows? Is it like the competition Or is it just the...the guys building things in the middle of nowhere stuff? Cause if it's about renovating stuff or making something cool you should try SYFY's Face Off.

[That's making something cool and competition.]

Yeah, that one. That's the best one. They're very talented.

[Maybe he could've done something like that, back in the day, if he hadn't fallen to his near death and didn't become a prisoner of war for decades. But hey, who knows.]

I like them building stuff. I haven't watched the competiton ones, but I'm always up for checking another one out.

...So like. You like building stuff?

[Look at him. Talking like a person. He's so proud. They're almost people. Wowee.]

I mean the baking ones and food ones are cool. Gordon Ramsey's a little upsetting. Avoid him. He's uh...He's kinda...hard to watch.

[All the yelling.]

I used to do more of it... back in the day. Odd jobs and things like that.

[They're doing good!]

I don't like the mean ones. A lot of the cooking ones are intense.

[So great!]

So like. Odd jobs. Never really had something you wanted to do specifically. I can relate to that.

[He nods]

See Face Off is cool because people dress up as aliens. Ink Master's good. Just enough anxiety to like, make it exciting but not too stressful to watch plus the art's really cool.
