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!

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.

[oriental_dragon]

are you actually worried about me, Barry?

[procidens]

It was meant more as an insult, actually.

[oriental_dragon]

too bad, im choosing to take it as concern!

[procidens]

What if I just called you obnoxious?

[oriental_dragon]

a hard-won compliment.

[procidens]

You're obnoxious.

[Let's see the reaction in real time.]

[oriental_dragon]

thank you! :D

[procidens]

I truly mean it when I say that I don't know why I keep talking to you.

[Probably because he is very lonely, and very mean, and TenTen keeps letting him talk to her anyway, which is a hard thing to find these days now that he doesn't have money to make up for his shitty personality.

[She could also definitely kick his ass, which makes his stomach feel a little weird.]

[oriental_dragon]

well. youre welcome to stop any time if its such an inconvenience.

[ She's not gonna make him do things he doesn't want to. But she has a feeling he has nothing against continuing their... friendship? ]

[procidens]

[He types out "don't tempt me", but then deletes it, because sometimes he feels like he gets dangerously close to actually ensuring she'll never want to speak to him again. He then, of course, feels like a pathetic moron for even considering being upset at the idea that that might happen. His feelings toward TenTen (pronounced: himself) are...complicated.

I'm still talking to you, aren't I?

[oriental_dragon]

indeed you are.

[procidens]

Yeah, whatever. You said you needed someone to keep you awake.

You should really be thanking me.

[oriental_dragon]

should i bring an extra cookie to lunch tomorrow? is that what you want?

[procidens]

No need to get testy. It's like I said, I'm helping you out, right?

[He feels like he might be starting to piss her off, which kind of makes him want to keep going, but he decides to pull it back anyway.]

Do you have a telescope up there?

[oriental_dragon]

[ And how kind of him to grace her with his aid. So humble, too. Really. The sarcasm speaks for itself. Though part of it might be the lack of sleep waiting for this shower to start. So it's not all him. ]

only the one ive been using for the last three years.
