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!

You noticed?

I think sneaking off to fuck in a closet would have been bad for your sales numbers. Fun though.

Something to keep in mind for when the stakes are lower.

I'd like to hear what sounds you make when you're trying not to make any.

A lot depends on how hard you're trying.

I'm up for the challenge if you are

It's a date.

You're a local. I'll let you choose what restaurant we may never be allowed into again.

have I mentioned you're very good at this, happy? We should get something remote controlled

Shit

I'm sorry about that, I'm tired and my phone is rude.

[ "Happy" throws him off for a second. It's a nickname of a nickname that a handful of colleagues, on separate occasions, tried to make happen back in his hospital days. He chuckles out a sigh when she tells him it was autocorrect's idea. ]

Thank God.

Pick something out. I'll order it.

[ Has there ever been a man for whom the nickname "Happy" would be less fitting? Just awful. ]

If I ever actually call you that you've got my permission to call me Izzy.

[ Izzy, diminutive for Isabella. She tends to avoid using her full first name, for a number of reasons -- she can't entirely remember at the moment if she's told Hap what Bella is short for. Might have. It would have gone along naturally with conversation about what he preferred to be called. (Hap has certainly not been given her real last name; if needed, she's used Jones, generic and obviously fake. A solid door between her self and her job, past and present, private and purchasable.) ]

I'll do some research in the morning
Don't be afraid to make requests if you see something you like yourself.

[ "Izzy" conjures images of messy ponytails and jeans torn at the knees. It doesn't suit her at all but it might make for a quaint inside joke. ]

You'll probably get to it before I do.

I will say I'd like something a little more fully featured than just an on/off switch.

Come on, you don't think I'd want you to have anything less than fine control, do you?

Mea culpa. I should have known.

You're forgiven. Go forth and only commit interesting sins.

Or dream about them, if you can get some sleep.

You too, Bella.

[ He considers telling her it was nice talking to her, then decides against it. ]

Goodnight.
