Texts from Late Night

[matchbreaker]

[ Posted sometime around like four in the morning: ]

Has anyone else found themselves falling in love with someone in those memories we all get? That might feel a little extreme, but the face has been sticking with me for a while now.

Heh. It won't be what keeps me up at night, trust me.

[matchbreaker]

Well I hope nothing will!

[burndownforwhat]

Someone has to keep the super late crowd entertained, right?

[matchbreaker]

Are you appointing yourself the hero of the night people?

[burndownforwhat]

Yes, absolutely.

They call me

The Occasional Insomniac

Not the most impressive superhero name, I know.

[matchbreaker]

It is a fun one though! I laughed a little at least.

I don't know what mine would be? Something with bats I suppose

[burndownforwhat]

Bats are surprisingly cute.
I wouldn't say I'd go out and pet one but. They're not as intimidating as I used to think.

[matchbreaker]

That's exactly how I felt when I first got them! They smell like the dickens but they really are endearing.

[burndownforwhat]

Haha, well so do most pets, don't they?

[matchbreaker]

Yes and no, if I'm not managing it they're way worse than cats

[burndownforwhat]

Oh, seriously? That's hard to imagine. And I've met someone who kept ferrets and they were... something else.

[matchbreaker]

The issue's in the poop - bats poop a lot

[burndownforwhat]

[ one quick google later. ]

Oh

Wow

You were NOT kidding.

At least it can make for good fertilizer?

[matchbreaker]

Mmmhm, so I've heard! I've done what I can to collect it, but as much as a bat expert as I might be now, I don't think that was her field.

[burndownforwhat]

Oh, you mean your other self kept bats before, too? I wonder how she dealt with it... They didn't give you any memories to go with them?

[matchbreaker]

She did yeah, and I think they were mostly outdoor bats, for her. I could do that here - I do that for some of them - but... I'm not as deft at it all.

[burndownforwhat]

I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.
Or the bats will. One or the other!

[matchbreaker]

Oh, bother, I'm sure I will.

I've gotten more used to bossing them around.

[burndownforwhat]

Does that make you a bossy bat lady?

[matchbreaker]

I suppose it does, yeah!

[burndownforwhat]

Hahahaha!

[ she. doesn't know if she should be proud of herself for that joke being well received, or just disappointed that she had to be This Tired to make it. ]

I think that's it for tonight. My jaw is starting to hurt from all this yawning. I guess I'll be skipping the gym today after all.

[matchbreaker]

I was about to say, you're closing in on five AM here.

Goodnight!

[burndownforwhat]

Thanks for keeping me company.
Or. You're welcome? One of those.

Goodnight!
