The 3am Text Confessions Meme

[pantheraliam]

There’s Something I Need You to Know
Please don’t cancel me

Everyone has their secrets. Some are bigger than others, but it may be any number of things that are weighing down on your conscience. One night, whether it induced by lack of sleep, alcohol consumption, or some supernatural force, you decide to come out with it once and for all. It’s time to confess.

Directions:
1. Post a TL with your character name and canon in the subject line. You can either leave your TL blank for others to come confess, or you can put a confession in your top level. Your character’s confession can be anything from “I killed someone” to “I’m in love with my best friend” to “I’ve never eaten chocolate and vanilla swirl ice cream”. Any and all confessions are welcome - in fact, feel free to put a few different ones in your TL if you want people to pick and choose!
2. Respond to other people’s TLs with either your character’s own confession, or with a response to their’s.
3. Be respectful, follow basic dwrp meme rules, etc.!

Open to all fandom characters, OCs, AUs, CRAUs, etc.. Tagging around is highly encouraged!

1. Imma age Martin down to 17 for this

[the_phobophage]

u neede a hand?

bless u excellent o/

[procidens]

I don’t know.

I don’t know what to do.

[He might be panicking a little.]

:D

[the_phobophage]

Spoken liek somebody whos never killed nebody befor

wher r u

[procidens]

[It’s an odd time to focus on how badly his strange acquaintance types, but here he is doing so nonetheless.

[Bigger fish to fry, Whelk. God, he feels sick.]

I haven’t.

I’m walking. I’m trying to get out of the woods.

I don’t know how to tell you where.

[Czerny’s maps are in his pocket, but he was always better at reading them.

[God, Czerny...]

[the_phobophage]

yea well

Ok. I'll hed that way, see if I can smell u. Probably hard to miss if u smell as scared as u sound 🤤

[procidens]

NO.

Do NOT come here. You can’t.

[There was so much blood. God, there was so much blood...The thought that Czerny might be drained if a vampire saw him makes him pause, thinking he might actually throw up. Aside from that, he doesn’t want Martin to see the scene - he doesn’t want anyone to see it.

[And this forest is a strange and terrifying place. There’s no telling what bringing someone already supernaturally charged into it might do.]

I’ll find my way out.

I just need to fucking talk to someone, okay?

[the_phobophage]

dont tell me what 2 do. I've seen a dead body b4. Made a lot of em before blackwing. I can help cleen up

Ok. If ur shur. Find me when u get back and I'll talk 2 u until then

[procidens]

We’re not cleaning anything up.

Nobody is going to find him.

[He keeps telling himself that, shifting between being worried about the consequences and feeling sick that he’s probably right. This forest might devour his body for all he knows.

[Noah Czerny is just a body now.]

What do I do with my clothes? There’s blood.

[the_phobophage]

[ Okay. Okay. It's commands, and Martin can do commands. Whelk is being in charge, and Martin's okay with that. ]

what's got blood on it

[procidens]

My shirt.

My hands.

[Czerny’s skateboard.]

[the_phobophage]

ok

shirt off. watch your hands somewhere you've got water

[procidens]

Ok.

[He feels as numb as he sounds. It’s starting to rain, but the trees keep it from downpouring. There’s a creek nearby though, so he follows the sound of the water and does what he’s told.]

Won’t it look suspicious to come out of the woods wearing only half my clothes?

[It is late. Maybe no one will see him. If they do though, it will definitely look suspicious.]

A mix of both?

[oriental_dragon]

sometimes i question your sanity, Barry.

I’m gonna go with 2! I pp’d you with details <3

[procidens]

Says the girl texting me at 3am. What have I done to offend you this evening, TenTen?

[Could it be the series of cryptic 3am tweets? “They’re back”, “How am I supposed to sleep when they won’t shut up?”, “I’m going crazy”, etc.. It’s been another long night.]

even at 3am, her sarcasm is still on point

[oriental_dragon]

the list is far too long to recite. and i also didn't think to look at the time.

sorry.

[procidens]

Is there a point to this harassment, or are you just trying to get on my nerves?

[He’s up either way, but too prideful to admit he doesn’t mind the text-based company right now.]

[oriental_dragon]

deny it all you like, i know there's a part of you that likes it. otherwise you wouldn't keep me around

i just wanted to check in on you. hadn't seen you in a few days, and you never respond to normal texts

[procidens]

“Like” is a strong word.

[She’s not wrong though. Whelk rarely responds to anyone’s texts during the waking hours should he even receive them. After leaving Aglionby, his phone number had changed and only a rare few had sought to find out the new number. He’d rejected those rare few. TenTen was insistent when he started public school, so he’d taken her number down and then once texted it in the middle of the night when he couldn’t sleep. Ever since then, it’s been a go to when the voices get too loud. He and his mother’s apartment is a dreary place after 12am.]

Why aren’t you sleeping? It’s a school night.

Not that I care.

[oriental_dragon]

[ Smiling down at her phone, the girl quickly sent him the picture she'd just taken of the city scape from her rooftop perch. ]

Because. There's supposed to be a meteor shower in about an hour, and I've run out of caffeine to keep me up.

[ And she assumed that there was a good chance he'd be up and willing to keep her entertained long enough to last that last hour. ]

[procidens]

I see. So now it’s my job to keep you entertained, is it?

Back again for my thrilling conversational skills.

[oriental_dragon]

why not? it's worked for you, so far.

[procidens]

Worked for you, I think you mean.

You know, I’ve heard about this supposed meteor shower. There’s a group of kids from our class going out to the camp grounds at North edge of town to watch it.

Why aren’t you there with them right now?

[oriental_dragon]

if youre talkin about the astronomy club, theyve already asked. and i said no because id rather not make it a school thing.

besides, i think my view is tons better.

[ As was possibly already proven by the previous picture she'd sent him. ]

[procidens]

Well, that makes sense, I suppose. What with the astronomy club being a bunch of useless nerds.

I’m not quite sure I trust you not to go plummeting off of your rooftop, though.
