TEXTS FROM LAST NIGHT GENERATOR

[white_widow]

My plans are to do what is necessary. I can hardly accurately guess what that would be at any point in the future here.

[scalesbalance]

You keep saying that-- a North Star. What does that mean exactly?

It's pretty clear you're interested in each other.

[stupidpigeon]

You think I am incapable of introspection, worm?

I, who have stayed alone among your kind while all others of my kin have receded? How often you prove your egocentric nature.

[decohere]

that's inappropriate.

yeah, now you just have annoying neighbors.

[scalesbalance]

You clearly care what they think.

I do. And so do you.

[scalesbalance]

You're the poster child of deflection.

You were banished. It wasn't staying so much as you have nowhere else to go.

They should have kept you sealed in stone. Maybe cemented you under some casino.

[ricochetingbullets]

You unfortunately have a point. People can get away with a lot when they're attractive.

[As he fully well knew. Julie hadn't given him a second chance just because of his heartfelt apology after all.]

[white_widow]

That is not quite my meaning, but yes. That is very, very true.

[rememoror]

He was too gentle to be annoyed for too long over it. I did feel a bit guilty for laughing as hard as I did.

A hard lesson to learn and to hold onto. Particularly when one must watch others utilize their freedom for the wrong things.

Many here seem content to ignore the situation at large and focus on the time between trials. Whether or not that is a skewed priority is somewhat difficult to say entirely.

[ricochetingbullets]

You've got a point. Trying to predict what's going to happen to us next is an exercise in futility.

[ricochetingbullets]

It's a term my mom came up with to describe a good person whose example I can follow, to help keep me on the right path since I don't have a conscience of my own to do that. She did that for me until she died and told me to find another one after she was gone.

[First off, good sir, how dare you. Secondly....actually Dex couldn't think up another counterargument.]

I mean she is very pretty but do you really think the feeling is mutual? Sometimes I feel she doesn't like me at all.

[ricochetingbullets]

Know that firsthand, do you?

[white_widow]

Especially in a place with magic. I hate magic.

[white_widow]

It has been a very useful fact for me many times, yes.

[scalesbalance]

That's... a nice model. She sounds like she was a nice woman.

[ SIGH...

How does he keep ending up in this conversation? He's aware he's been just a little nosy at the going-ons of the neighborhood, but still. ]

...Do people not talk to each other anymore or something?

In a previous conversation she may have mentioned you as someone of interest. Would that be enough to get you to talk to her?

[decohere]

well of course i have a vested interest in any rumors being spread about me

you're not so bad, i suppose. other than not easily giving over intel. not enough to fully interrogate you for it.

[scalesbalance]

It sounds like a good memory though.

Right. I'm trying to keep my stakes low when it comes to dealing with people's personal freedoms. Being uninvolved seems impossible, but I try to meddle less.

[ Emphasis on try. ]

Downtime should help keep people sane; instead people get occupied by little things. I have two neighbors right now who are clearly interested in each other but they won't tell the other how they feel. Since I know them both they keep asking me questions about the other person.

After enduring a conversation like that, I'd almost rather deal with the basilisk from that Trial you mentioned.

[scalesbalance]

People's opinions of you don't have to involve rumors. Are you worried you'll hear something potentially good and not know what to do with it?

You didn't know me at my worst. I could really wreck someone's day.

Thank you for not going the full interrogation route.

[decohere]

if it's good why would they be saying it behind my back

my worst isnt all that particularly pleasant either, but i think it's how we treat each other now that matters more

i can be quite convincing with my fist through somebody's throat.

[ricochetingbullets]

I never had any experience with it before I came here.

[He didn't come from the witchy corner of the MCU.]

[ricochetingbullets]

Yeah, I can see that.

[white_widow]

Sorry that your luck ran out on that front, then.

[white_widow]

Now that is a more open for interpretation comment than anything you've said yet. Should I be insulted or complimented, or 50/50?

[scalesbalance]

People can be shy. Have reservations.

That's a good way of looking at things.

I'm sure you could... but that's not how neighbors treat each other.

[ricochetingbullets]

She was the best. Without her, I probably would have ended up as a serial killer.

And since the tone doesn't really transfer that well through text: That last sentence was NOT a joke.

[This was what happened when you were the only sane man in the trailer park, Arthur.]

We talk! All the time actually. Just...not about that. But hearing that she mentioned does make me wonder if I should bring it up.
