TikTok DM-style prank text story: Collab request
A ready TikTok DM-style chat for a harmless prank, seven messages long and about 26 seconds as a video. Load it, change the words and export it as a labelled, fictional mock-up.
The full script (7 messages)
The first four messages open on the Free plan; the rest need a paid plan.
The script: Collab request
Load Collab request and you get seven messages: Ruby starts with "Brand collab for you: a lifetime supply of socks.", Ruby closes with "It is in the post.", and the read-through takes roughly 26 seconds.
Look at message 6, "I accept. Please send a contract written on a sock.", which runs 10 words, then at message 2, "Which brand?". One of the lines is a question, and each one pulls a reply out of the other side.
How the TikTok DM look carries the story
Shared videos are the heart of the real app, but a ChatsRat story keeps to text, so the scene works best when the words are the whole event. You need Standard or above to use TikTok DM; Free accounts will see a prompt to upgrade. Switch on read marks, reactions and an online status when you build the scene; typing dots are not offered for TikTok DM. Short, casual lines in the style of creators chatting about a video fit this look best. Expect the shared ChatsRat layout rather than a dedicated drawing.
Writing notes: prank
Use one running detail, such as a ridiculous reference number or a made-up office name, and repeat it three times. Repetition is cheap and reliable. Give the target the last word: a calm "I'll get you back" turns a one-off prank into a series.
What the Free plan shows
The Free plan opens the first four messages and two people, so Collab request would stop at "Ruby, that is just my socks.". The other three, through "It is in the post.", need a paid plan with a higher message limit and up to four people.
Tips
- Hold message 4, "Ruby, that is just my socks.", a beat longer than the rest.
- A prank story loves a quick payoff, so aim for a video under thirty seconds with the reveal in the last five.
- Change one word of Ruby's closing "It is in the post." so the ending is yours, then caption the video as a fictional chat.
- Rename Ruby and Ned to keep the story original, and keep every character an invented adult.
- Read Ned's answer "Which brand?" out loud; if it takes more than two seconds, trim it.
Questions
Can I use Collab request on the Free plan?
The TikTok DM look needs the Standard plan or above, so a Free account cannot open it. The Plans page lists what each plan includes, and the Free plan shows the first four messages of a free look.
How long is Collab request as a video?
About 26 seconds at a comfortable reading pace, counting seven messages with a short beat between them. Add a second or two for the ending card and a little more if you use a typing indicator before the last line.
What makes a prank story funny rather than mean?
The target should be fictional, the trick harmless and the ending warm. If the story would embarrass a real person, change it.
Is this TikTok DM-style chat a real conversation?
No. It is an invented story between Ruby and Ned, made as a mock-up. ChatsRat is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by TikTok DM, and the name describes a style only. Label the video as fiction.
This is fiction. The people and events in this story are invented. ChatsRat makes mock-ups and fictional conversations for creators, designers and teachers. Do not use it to pass off a made-up conversation as a real one, to impersonate a real person, or as proof of anything. See the Acceptable Use policy.
About the watermark. Exports on the Free plan carry a visible ChatsRat watermark, and every export carries an invisible mark that the verify page can read. Plans list what changes on paid plans.
