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!

Hypothetically, Prompto?

nvm I figured it out

Unrelatedly, how much does it normally cost to replace an oven?
unfatalist: followed by a course of praying to your impotent astrals (ENGAGE ⚔ i recommend pissing yourself)

[personal profile] unfatalist 2017-12-17 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
That would depend on the oven in question.

What variety are we referring to, precisely? A standard conventional oven? A specialized piece of equipment?

The one in Noct's kitchen, perhaps?
photoshooter: (GUILT 📷 Sorry about the car)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-12-17 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
No it's mine I learned my lesson last time noct's microwave blew up. No touchie Iggy's kitchennie.
unfatalist: how am i gonna be an octopus about this (DOWNCAST ‎⚔ bastille on the earbuds)

[personal profile] unfatalist 2017-12-17 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, dear.]

I...see. Can you tell me what happened to it, precisely? With slightly more specificity than "it blew up", or somesuch.
photoshooter: (INHALE 📷 You guys...)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-12-17 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
Well it didn't blow up! That's the good news. it uh

Soooo you know how there's a self-cleaning feature?
unfatalist: on days like this men like you should be burning in hell (PROFILE ‎⚔ nothing but blue skies)

[personal profile] unfatalist 2017-12-17 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
I am familiar with that particular feature, yes.

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-12-17 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
I thought it'd be like i dunno a car wash inside, but actually it just get really, really hot.

Anyway I put some foil down on the bottom of the oven so I could make one of those frozen pizzas without getting burnt melted cheese caked down there and then I kind of left the foil in when I turned on the self-cleaner? and that was bad.
unfatalist: not that we're going to stick to it but you know (ASSESS ⚔ okay chums here's the plan)

[personal profile] unfatalist 2017-12-17 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
That does have all the makings of a decidedly bad outcome, yes. I presume the foil melted and is now coating the bottom of your oven.

ಥ_ಥ I don't know what to do
unfatalist: a bold choice that no one will applaud you for (OBSERVE ⚔ those shoes with that shirt)

[personal profile] unfatalist 2017-12-17 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
[siiiiiiiigh]

The first thing to do is remain calm. It's entirely possible that it looks worse than it is in practicality.

The plate at the bottom of an oven is typically removable. Is the oven cool enough that you'll not harm yourself? If so, see if it will detach.
photoshooter: (SKEPTICAL 📷 No seriously. What?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-12-17 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
it's still hot i bet but what if I use oven mitts?
unfatalist: fuck you and fuck your molecular gastronomy (FOLDED ‎⚔ that's not even real cooking)

[personal profile] unfatalist 2017-12-17 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
Only if you can be certain not to touch any part of the heating implements or the foil itself. Those will be dangerously hot and may well ignite the fabric of the mitts.
photoshooter: (EUGH 📷 THAT'S your plan?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-12-17 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
( 〇□〇) No dude i'll wait!!

What do I do after I get the plate out?
unfatalist: not that we're going to stick to it but you know (ASSESS ⚔ okay chums here's the plan)

[personal profile] unfatalist 2017-12-17 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
At that point, we perform a damage assessment — whether to attempt cleaning it manually or to simply discard it and buy a new plate entirely.
photoshooter: (ALERT 📷 Do I hear chocobos?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-12-17 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
oh. That's not so bad! So I don't have to buy a whole new oven??
unfatalist: and every time i step up in the building errybody's hands go up (TRIUMPH ‎⚔ all i do is win win win)

[personal profile] unfatalist 2017-12-17 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
There is a reasonable chance the oven may be salvaged. I'm assuming you only put the foil on the bottom, as opposed to lining the entire interior with it.
photoshooter: (REGRET 📷 Should've stayed home today...)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-12-17 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah no i couldn't think of a way to do that. Also melting cheese just drips straight down you know

Iggy thank you so much you're a lifesaver!!! m(。≧Д≦。)m if i ever have children you can have my firstborn if you want, I'm serious

[personal profile] unfatalist 2017-12-17 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, just what I've always wanted. More children to take custody of and be responsible for.

[He's probably being humorous but also it is VERY EARLY in the morning.]

...We would have taken care of it, you realize. In the worst case scenario of an unsalvageable oven.
photoshooter: (HAND 📷 So I says to him...)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-12-17 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
What? no way dude lol it was my mistake!! And it's not like I did it to Noct's oven or anything
unfatalist: for chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool (SMILE ‎⚔ saving all my summers)

[personal profile] unfatalist 2017-12-17 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm saying you are not without resources, Prompto, and you shouldn't forget that.

Fortunately, it doesn't sound as though such extreme measures will be necessary.
photoshooter: (FRAME 📷 Who's puny now?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-12-17 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, sure he does. He has the resources he can use to pay for his stupid dumb stupid actions himself.]

thanks to you! o(〃^▽^〃)o

Sorry for waking you up, your next coffee's on me okay?

[personal profile] unfatalist 2017-12-17 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
In the future you might try parchment paper instead of foil. And being more judicious about your use of the clean function.

But if the crisis is summarily averted, then yes, I'll thank you to allow me to return to sleep.
photoshooter: (SANKYUU 📷 Ever at your side)
