Me: who is this
(249) 115-2098: it's your number neighbour!
Me: my what
(249) 115-2098: it's this trend that was going around a while ago where you message the number that's one off from your own number, which is your number neighbour, and how i got this number :3
Me: how old are you
Me: didn't your parents ever tell you talking to strangers was dangerous
(249) 115-2098: i'm 20!
Me: i would've thought you were 12 with how you follow trends without any sense of worry for your own safety
(249) 115-2098: well, would you consider yourself dangerous?
Me: am i? you figure that out for yourself, i'm not about to lead you by the hand on the internet
(249) 115-2098: ooh, aren't you sassy?
(249) 115-2098: i don't think you're dangerous. you seem pretty normal to me
Me: how the fuck are you this naive
Me: like geniunely
(249) 115-2098: it's not like i told you anything about myself yet!!
Me: ... anyway, what happened to 2491152100?

Me: i don't even know your name
(249) 115-2098: giving your name out to strangers is dangerous, you know!!
Me: i didn't realise i was talking to a hypocrite.

Me: carmen? what kind of a name is that?
(249) 115-2098: it's not my real name you idiot!!
(249) 115-2098: since you're gonna harp on about online safety or whatever...
(249) 115-2098: i stole it from latin, since everyone steals words from them all the time. it makes me sound mysterious
(249) 115-2098: (this is where i fling a cloak around me like that tuxedo mask meme)

Me: you talk as if i intend to speak with you in the future
(249) 115-2098: well, i'm procrastinating right now, and i don't have anyone to talk to, so entertain me for a bit!! please?
Me: procrastinating?

(249) 115-2098: im trying to compose something right now but my head is completely fried from trying to come up with an original chord progression that isn't I V vi IV
Me: you're giving out an awful lot of information for someone that barely knows me
Me: what if i'm secretly part of the mafia and sending my bodyguards to kill you right now for finding this number?
(249) 115-2098: well, you're satisfying my ennui, so
(249) 115-2098: besides, who's fault is that? :( i know nothing about you other than your number. you could at least tell me your age and what you do in return for me telling you mine
Me: ... i have work in a bit.
