MISFIRES

a rambunctious duo in salt has stuck their nose where they shouldn't and now you can all reap the rewards! this is a MISFIRES meme. post a header for your character, and receive accidental texts from your local saltburntian guests. nudes, nasties, confessions of a certain persuasion? things you'd otherwise never write or send? they're all on the table. (meme threads aren't game canon, but they're not not game canon either, right)

I like being intimate with you. So I can't imagine I wouldn't like something related to that. I don't think I'm too demanding, though, I just want to spend time with you.

Who were you plotting with?

[mygoodsir]

You're not demanding at all. I just felt it ought to be something special.

Why? So you can tell them what you really want and they can give me the hint?

[holyposition]

I know it will be, if you're there. The effort is sweet, though.

So I know if they'll give you good advice!

[mygoodsir]

It's been difficult for you. I wish only to ease your mind and celebrate your person.

Very well. Theo. He is often a great help to me.

[holyposition]

I know you do. I'll be looking forward to it, whatever it is. :)

I don't know how good his advice will be though, since we barely know each other.

[mygoodsir]

I will endeavour to spoil you.

No, but for general etiquette and ideas he's very helpful. And I thought that if I became truly stuck I would ask Hawk.

[holyposition]

Hawk will keep his best ideas for himself. Try Koby.

[mygoodsir]

Oh, I suppose that he might, yes.

How old are you now, my love?

[holyposition]

I'll be turning 25.

[ Don't have a crisis about being old! ]

[mygoodsir]

A fine age.

I must congratulate myself for keeping up with you at all!

[holyposition]

A milestone.

You underestimate yourself. You keep up perfectly well.

[mygoodsir]

It is! Worthy of a celebration. I am honoured to witness such an event.

Well. Most days.

[holyposition]

I know things have been tough lately, but I really am happy. Thank you for that.

Well, I'm very sorry if me always wanting more of you makes things a little too hard. 😉

[mygoodsir]

Tim, it is my greatest pleasure in life to give you any happiness.

I don't mind. I've not dropped dead of exhaustion yet!

[holyposition]

You're gonna make me blush :)

Try not to. Dying making love might not be worst way to go while we're here, but it would be awfully traumatic for me.

[mygoodsir]

You are very fetching in pink. ;)

I shall take care not to do so, then.

Tim, if money and location were no object, what would you want for your birthday?

[holyposition]

If I could have anything, it would be to see my family. About a week after my birthday, I'll have been here for a year. The last time I spoke to my parents it was an argument.

And I guess the next time, it will be too. But I want them to know I'm okay.

[mygoodsir]

It is amazing how strangely time passes when you are trapped somewhere.

You are a good son, Tim. Even if they cannot see it. I wish you could speak to them again.

[holyposition]

I'm gay and I betrayed McCarthy, I don't think they could imagine a worse son in their wildest dreams.

But maybe we can move past it, in time.

[mygoodsir]

Nonetheless, you are good.

I hope it is so.

[holyposition]

I try to be. But they want grandchildren.

Maggie might understand. We've always been close.

[mygoodsir]

Do they not adopt children in the 1950s?

One's siblings are frequently more understanding than parents. And from what you've said, she sounds very fond of you indeed.

[holyposition]

Gay men don't. It isn't allowed. We'll "corrupt" them.

What about your family? You've been away from them for even longer.

[mygoodsir]

I see. Would they check that you were a couple?

Oh, yes. I do wonder if any of my letters ever reached them, particularly my brother. But I admit it would feel strange to see them.

[holyposition]

It wouldn't be acceptable for men to raise a child together, even if we were platonic. But living together at all is enough for people to assume we're not.

Robert, right? Have you read much yet about what came after?
