general texting meme
To kick us off with some voice testing, here's a the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.

instructions: What it says on the tin! Leave a comment with your character, any preferences, a start, absolutely nothing, or whatever you want. Run around and reply to others. Lather, rinse, repeat.

You once described him to me as "incorrigible".

That definition has yet to change.

His advances are merely words, however.

Do not trouble yourself or your friendship on my account.

Are you advocating for me to...

Engage in encounters?

[repatch]

i'm sorry to put you in such a difficult position oka-chan.

[Because really he and Eri combined still can't reign him in, but at least Okakou realizes he's harmless. The rest of it... Why does it make him uneasy? Like he could be leading her down the wrong path or making her feel like her situation isn't ideal?]

ah! i would leave that to your judgment, which i trust whole-heartedly! i'll only say just be careful with how much of your heart you give away when it comes to that.

[reshrine]

...it merely circles back to your initial, unintentional comment.

As a young goddess and a successor to a major god, I must account for the expectations of my peers and elders.

I had believed that an unconcerned, virginal image would suit me best.

Truthfully, I am already aware of enough whispered implications of... slatternly conduct to make me wary of fielding such flirtations casually.

I do not have the luxury to collect spouses or romantic liaisons, as a goddess.

Okakou's heart is a secondary concern to the reputation of the Sukunabikona, at best.

[repatch]

goddesses sure have it pretty tough, don't they oka-chan? i can't say that you have to worry about your reputation as my successor since i have already cultivated a prudish one that should protect you for a little while. but in already figuring out how to present yourself, it proves you're already growing well into your title!

if those are your priorities i won't argue, but i will have to pick up the slack concerning oka-chan's heart! i know you will be a great sukunabikona but i also want you to always be okakou as well. it makes me happy to see you sign your texts as 'okakou' with me at least!

and as a quick aside, i've had a few old acquaintances give glowing compliments about your transition into godhood. they said it's been the neatest and most bloodless transition they've seen in a long time lol.

[reshrine]

I must admit, I have perhaps... shielded you, from some less than kind reception to my selection as your successor.

Don't worry, it isn't as though I ever had a lover leading up to our dealings.

I am glad.

I wouldn't have ever wanted you hurt.

[repatch]

give me names oka-chan.

and i should be saying those sort of things to you! it's my duty as predecessor to look out for you, you know?

[reshrine]

I say this with all the affection and adoration in my heart:

No.

[repatch]

i wouldn't do anything to undermine your position oka-chan! but i'm not letting them get away with being disrespectful to my successor.

[reshrine]

With all due respect, your intervention won't make anyone think I slept my way into your title any less.

Quite the opposite, I fear.

1/???

[repatch]

WHAT

[repatch]

[Okay Sukuna's promises not to fight anyone is going to go out of the window. Give him five seconds to seethe, five more seconds to come up with a battle plan, and then five more seconds to start a few incoherent texts of rage to Eri-chan and Muchi.]

3/3 fin

[repatch]

OKAKOU EITHER YOU'RE COMING HERE OR I'M GOING TO COME SEE YOU.

[reshrine]

Did something of concern occur?

Is everybody safe?

[repatch]

YES?! I AM CONCERNED. HOW CAN I NOT BE AFTER HEARING THAT?!

THE BASTARDS THAT CALL THEMSELVES GODS AREN'T SAFE! HOW DARE THEY

[reshrine]

I'm not sure I understand this...

Shocked outrage.

Surely you've heard them speak flippantly of their own conquests and paramours, over the years?

[repatch]

oka-chan don't dodge: am i going there or are you coming here?

[reshrine]

I don't want you traveling while so... perturbed.

[repatch]

i'm going to be perturbed for a long time! but i don't want you to drop anything important if you're busy.

i'll see you tomorrow in the evening, if that's acceptable?

[It'll give him enough time to wring more information out of everyone and be Prepared.]

[reshrine]

No, I'm leaving now.

With all due respect, I do not believe you should be left alone now.

[She's worried he's going to whip up an angry lynch mob.]

to action???

[repatch]

[Oh so she's not giving him enough time to gather a mob? Fair. She could only delay the inevitable for so long.]

okay, i'll be waiting! be careful when traveling.

[And sure as shit, he'll be standing outside of The Hidden Moon, mouth a thin line of displeasure, arms crossed over his chest as he kept his eyes up towards the skies. If this was medieval times, he'd have on armor and two swords tucked into his sash, but since these were modern times it was in the smaller touches. His war gear now was a dark black vest with splashes of red, a red button up long sleeved shirt that was rolled to the elbows, dark black jeans, and metal plated combat boots.

When he spotted her, he only raised one hand in a subdued greeting, eyes humorless behind his glasses.]

Oka-chan, I'm glad you made it. Would you like some tea?

to action!!!

[reshrine]

[If he's waiting for her, he isn't out hunting down possible suspects. And she knows he would never leave and make her wait in an empty doorway.

In a strange twist, while he's dressed up, she's dressed down for once in her life; instead of a fine kimono set or neat, stylish business casual, when she strides up to meet him it is in a long, knit cardigan . hastily thrown over what could be a white sundress, but is almost certainly her nightgown, modest ruffles fluttering around her calves with each quick step. Her hair sways loosely around her shoulders, and her normal towering heels click crisply against the walkway.]

Would the teapot survive the brewing, Honored Predecessor?

[repatch]

[It was strange to see Okakou looking so informal and almost vulnerable looking without the multiple layers of a kimono or a blazer, and if this were any other moment, Sukuna was sure he would gush a bit over her appearance. But instead he felt a twinge of guilt beneath his cold deep rage, to have her scuttle here soley to soothe his feelings when she had other duties to attend to. Maybe some day, Sukuna would stop being selfish.

He opened the door to let her in, the front of the tea house only graced by a few elderly patrons who looked like they were about to fall asleep in their seats. The back of the house, with all the Awakened and spirits, was far livelier, and Sukuna was looking to bypass that portion completely.]

It will.

[He gestured for Okakou to head up the stairs which housed their private rooms and some of their living quarters.]

Or would something stronger be better?

[reshrine]

[She shakes her head, hair shifting as she moves past him. Her eyes slide almost casually around as she pulls her cardigan around herself more firmly and continues along the familiar route upstairs.]

If I say yes, do you plan to ply me with drink until names spill out?

[Normally, she would fall over herself to accommodate him. Normally his selfishness is either charming or selfless in truth. But for once, she has to hold firm.

It's easiest for everyone, that way.]

[repatch]

Oka-chan, whether you tell me or not, I'll find out.

[It would have been light and sing-songy if not for the fact that the smile on Sukuna's face was mostly gritted teeth. He ushered Okakou into one of the better warded private rooms, shutting the door behind them decisively.

While he wanted nothing more than to interrogate Oka-chan, he had already been indelicate in a delicate situation. He settled down in one of the cushions and started preparing the tea, careful to keep his hands steady.]

But I apologize for calling you out here so suddenly, Oka-chan. You're right, I wasn't thinking clearly.

[reshrine]

I honestly don't know what you can do once you have them.

[She settles down across from him, tucking her skirt beneath her shins and sliding out of her cardigan. A soft sigh puffs out of her.]

...you truly never even imagined it would cross their minds?
