Chapter Text

We’re all best friends I swear:

Banned from Mario Kart: Hey guys, barring an actual emergency we aren’t going to be stopping until the hotel, just a heads up.

Princess: Got it!

Ultimate lockpicker: sorry again

Stinky >:(: It’s fine Sora, I had fun on the hike

Salty sweet: Me too! Plus it let me get some gorgeous shots from the trail

Rapunzle: It was nice to sketch in peace with Xion and Terra ^_^

Princess: Oh right you still haven’t shown me those!

Arsonist: Everyone is banned from talking Roxas fell asleep

Ultimate lockpicker: omg no way everyone shut up

Stinky >:(: ?

Salty sweet: Roxas doesn’t sleep until he physically can’t stay awake anymore

Stinky >:(: Isn’t that all of us…?

Salty sweet: Do you fall asleep once every three days? Minimum?

Stinky >:(: Oh.

Evil Twin: Mom tried to get him to try melatonin once and his schedule got worse out of spite.

Rapunzle: Sometimes if I bug him enough he’ll take a quick nap, but never enough to be healthy.

Arsonist: So in conclusion all of you shut up

Ultimate lockpicker: i have a fun game we can play

Evil Twin: Nope. No. Absolutely not.

Rapunzle: Huh?

Rythm addict: Oh wait no he’s right

Ultimate lockpicker: don’t listen to them they’re just mad they suck at it

Evil Twin: The color blue Sora?

Ultimate lockpicker: i was being so obvious

Salty sweet: I feel like I have to play now

Ultimate lockpicker: awesome no take backsies

Ultimate lockpicker: it’s called i spy with my everything eye

Princess: Oh wait I’ve heard of this, a streamer I like played it

Stinky >:(: I’m worried about Ven and Vanitas’ reactions.

Ultimate lockpicker: shhhh they don’t know what they’re talking about

Ultimate lockpicker: anyways so you basically just pick something and have other people guess it using yes or no questions

Ultimate lockpicker: the catch is that it can be literally anything

Evil Twin: This bitch chose 3:30 on a Tuesday afternoon one time.

Ultimate lockpicker: that was a fun night

Rythm addict: No it wasn’t.

Salty sweet: I’m starting to regret my decision

Ultimate lockpicker: too late anyways i spy with my everything eye something starting with P

Evil Twin: Is it something sentient?

Ultimate lockpicker: no

Salty sweet: Is it an object?

Ultimate lockpicker: kind of

Evil Twin: wtf do you mean kind of.

Ultimate lockpicker: ok yes

Princess: Is it something you can hold?

Ultimate lockpicker: yes

Stinky >:): Is it red?

Ultimate lockpicker: no

Rythm addict: Is it man made?

Ultimate lockpicker: yes

Arsonist: I’m already lost.

Rapunzle: So it’s a man made non-sentient object you can hold, and it’s not red.

Rythm addict: You’re a life saver I was already forgetting some stuff.

Rapunzle: I try my best ^_^

Princess: Sora what on earth is this??

Ultimate lockpicker: :)

Princess: ????

Stinky >:(: Does it have the letter A in its name?

Ultimate lockpicker: nope

Arsonist: Ok wait

Arsonist: Does it have any vowels in it?

Ultimate lockpicker: yep

Arsonist: Which ones?

Ultimate lockpicker: yes or no questions Axel

Arsonist: Why was that weirdly threatening??

Rythm addict: Vanitas use your twin telepathy what’s the answer?

Evil twin: Not how that works.

Rythm addict: But you aren’t denying it?

Evil twin: Sora does it have an E in it?

Ultimate lockpicker: yes

Princess: Wait a minute

Princess: Ohhh

Salty sweet: ??

Salty sweet: Don’t leave us hanging???

Princess: Is it a video game?

Ultimate lockpicker: yes

Princess: I couldn’t figure out why he was so confused on the object question

Rapunzle: I’d say a video game is an object.

Evil twin: Is it Pokemon?

Ultimate lockpicker: which one :)

Evil twin: Fuck

Arsonist: Just because Terra’s asleep doesn’t mean you can swear dude

Rapunzle: You haven’t called him out any other time Axel

Arsonist: Wait what

Arsonist: …shit

Princess: Axel!

Arsonist: Woops anyways diamond and pearl next question

Ultimate lockpicker: nope

Rythm addict: Is it one of the mainline entries?

Ultimate lockpicker: yes

Rapunzle: Is it sword?

Ultimate lockpicker: yep

Princess: Wait seriously?

Stinky >:(: Naminé how did you know that?

Evil twin: I thought you said you didn’t like Pokemon?

Rapunzle: I got that one for my birthday a couple years ago. I didn’t enjoy it that much, but I liked the character customization.

Salty sweet: Oh right you did mention that!

Princess: Our aunt isn’t the best at gift giving but she tries ‘^_^

Ultimate lockpicker: since Naminé is the best at this game she gets to pick next

Rapunzle: Oh! I don’t have any ideas though…

Ultimate lockpicker: it can be anything you want

Rapunzle: Alright, I spy with my everything eye something starting with the letter V.

Princess: Is it something living?

Rapunzle: Nope!

Arsonist: Is it something blue?

Rapunzle: Not typically, no.

Arsonist: ???

Stinky >:(: Not to pick the same question twice, but does it have an A in its name?

Rapunzle: Yes it does! Multiple actually :D

Ultimate lockpicker: free advice Naminé try not to give away too much information

Evil twin: Shut up or we’ll be here for hours.

Rapunzle: I’m trying to wrap up the game before we make it to the hotel so we can all head to bed :)

Ultimate lockpicker: fair enough

Rythm addict: Is it something you can pick up?

Rapunzle: No

Arsonist: Does it have a physical form?

Rapunzle: No it does not

Evil twin: Oh god we’re gonna be here all day.

Rapunzle: :)

Rapunzle: I’m understanding why Sora likes this game so much.

Salty sweet: I’m understanding Ventus and Vanitas’ reactions to it :(

Evil twin: Welcome to Hell.

Arsonist: Is it a time?

Rapunzle: Not numerically, but it is time related.

Princess: It’s so fun to watch everyone realize just how secretly messed up my sister is.

Rapunzle: :)

Evils twin: Sick but also wtf

Ultimate lockpicker: Is it red?

Rapunzle: Red is one of the colors often associated with it.

Stinky >:(: Is it Christmas?

Rapunzle: No

Salty sweet: Fourth of July?

Rapunzle: Nope

Evil twin: Wait Valentine’s Day idiots it starts with V

Rapunzle: Correct!

Ultimate lockpicker: i totally forgot the letters tbh

Arsonist: Wait what was up with the blue question???

Rapunzle: It’s not common, but I’ve seen some blue valentines decorations.

Rapunzle: Also I knew it would mess with you ^_^

Arsonist: You wound me :0

Private chat:

Evil twin: Dude Naminé’s kinda cool

Ultimate lockpicker: i mean i’ve been saying that for years but yeah

Evil twin: idk she’s always been nice to me, but not as fun as on this trip.

Ultimate lockpicker: it’s good that she’s letting loose

Evoke twin: What do you mean?

Ultimate lockpicker: it’s not my story to tell but when i met her she was a lot more shy and nervous

Evil twin: Huh.

Ultimate lockpicker: this trip in particular has helped a lot

We’re all best friends I swear:

Sora’s favorite: We’re here everyone! Axel could you wake Roxas up?

Arsonist: Nah I’ll just carry him if that’s alright with you, he needs sleep

Sora’s favorite: If you’re up for it that’s fine :)

Banned from Mario Kart: Everyone grab your bag and wait for us to check in, we’ll show you the room in a minute.

Evil twin: Ok show of hands who’s up.

Evil twin: No way no one is.

Private chat:

Rapunzle: I am, but let’s not wake anyone, especially Terra Aqua and Axel.

Evil twin: Got it.

Rapunzle: So what did you want to talk about?

Evil twin: Idk I was mostly just bored.

Rapunzle: Do you wanna play I spy?

Evils twin: God no you are way too good at that game.

Rapunzle: I’ll take that as a compliment ^_^

Evil twin: That reminds me

Rapunzle: ?

Evil twin: What’s the story behind the name? You already had that when you joined the group chat.

Rapunzle: It’s a bit of an inside joke with me and Sora.

Rapunzle: After we became friends, Tangled was the first movie we watched together

Rapunzle: He started comparing me a lot to her, and afterwards changed my contact name for me.

Evil twin: I can see it. You’re both blonde artists.

Rapunzle: Yeah.

Rapunzle: We have a couple other things in common too

Evil twin: Such as…?

Rapunzle: Well, we were both very… sheltered growing up.

Evil twin: Oh.

Rapunzle: My father is nowhere near as bad as Gothel or anything, but he can be kind of strict and overprotective.

Rapunzle: I was honestly surprised he let me be on this trip at all.

Evil twin: Kairi’s out all the time?

Rapunzle: She and him… don’t really get along.

Evil twin: Got it.

Evil twin: Sorry.

Rapunzle: It’s no big deal, most days are fairly normal.

Evil twin: My grandfather used to be pretty strict too before he died.

Rapunzle: Oh? I’ve never heard Sora mention a grandfather

Evil twin: Him and Roxas didn’t see him as much, me and Ventus took piano lessons from him.

Rapunzle: You know how to play piano?

Evil twin: I haven’t touched one in years, don’t ask.

Rapunzle: Got it.

We’re all best friends I swear:

Ultimate lockpicker: well now i am thanks

Evil twin: My pleasure.

Rapunzle: Sorry Sora!

Ultimate lockpicker: oh were you the one he was texting

Rapunzle: I didn’t want to wake everyone up

Ultimate lockpicker: that’s sweet of you :D

Rapunzle: ^_^

Ultimate lockpicker: so what were you guys talking about

Evil twin: None of your business.

Ultimate lockpicker: well now it is

Rapunzle: Just some stuff about our childhoods.

Ultimate lockpicker: oh

Ultimate lockpicker: i probably shouldn’t be saying this since he’s right next to me but

Ultimate lockpicker: boy do i have some stories about our childhood

Evil twin: Sora.

Ultimate lockpicker: jokes on you if you kill me mom will be upset

Ultimate lockpicker: also there’s too many witnesses

Evil twin: …

Ultimate lockpicker: so anyway as i was saying

Ultimate lockpicker: the first time Vanitas stayed up all night was in kindergarten (dragged me down too rude) to finally beat the ender dragon in Minecraft

Ultimate lockpicker: mom caught us right as the credits started to roll and he started crying

Evil twin: You were crying too, way worse actually.

Ultimate lockpicker: yeah but i was the victim there so it made sense

Evil twin: Fuck off you were just as eager to beat it as I was.

Ultimate lockpicker: too bad we couldn’t figure out multiplayer you were sad about that too

Evil twin: Because I knew you would be whiny about it the next day.

Rapunzle: I dunno, it sounds like you just wanted to share something you liked with your brother. Nothing wrong with that ^_^

Ultimate lockpicker: what she said

Evil twin: Yeah no screw the witnesses I’m just gonna kill you Sora.

Ultimate lockpicker: but Roxas and Aqua and Terra and Axel all need sleep D:

Evil twin: They’ll sleep eventually.

Ultimate lockpicker: what about Naminé >:(

Evil twin: What about her?

Ultimate lockpicker: she knows your secret too

Evil twin: Don’t care, she won’t tell anyone.

Evil twin: You on the other hand, are a liability.

Rapunzle: Thank you for trusting me ^_^

Ultimate lockpicker: Naminé D:

Private chat:

Ultimate lockpicker: “StOp FlIrTiNg In ThE gRoUpChAt”

Evil twin: It took you that long to type that?

Ultimate lockpicker: shut up :(

We’re all best friends I swear:

Rapunzle: Aside from Sora’s imminent death

Ultimate lockpicker: D:

Rapunzle: Thank you for this trip. Both of you, and anyone else scrolling in the morning.

Ultimate lockpicker: :D

Ultimate lockpicker: of course Nami

Evil twin: Don’t know why you’re thanking me but sure.

Rapunzle: You’re part of what’s making the trip so fun.

Ultimate lockpicker: omg i just realized your nicknames match

Ultimate lockpicker: Vani and Nami :D

Evil twin: Sora delete that I don’t want everyone calling me that.

Ultimate lockpicker: D: sorry i was excited

A message has been deleted

Rapunzle: I’m starting to fall asleep, thanks for keeping me company but I’m gonna turn off my phone

Ultimate lockpicker: goodnight Nami, sweet dreams :D

Evil twin: Night.

Private chat:

Ultimate lockpicker: you wanna stay up more or no

Evil twin: I’m good for a few minutes.

Ultimate lockpicker: how you feeling

Evil twin: On second thought…

Ultimate lockpicker: get back here coward

Evil twin: What do you want? It’s only been a few hours.

Ultimate lockpicker: yeah and you’ve talked a bunch since then i just wanted to check in

Evil twin: This is why I didn’t want to tell you anything.

Ultimate lockpicker: Vanitas.

Evil twin: I’m still confused.

Ultimate lockpicker: buuuut

Evil twin: She’s nice. I don’t want things to change.

Ultimate lockpicker: they don’t have to either way

Ultimate lockpicker: me Riku and Kairi still joke around like friends and hang out all the time we just also hold hands

Ultimate lockpicker: but i get not wanting to risk it

Evil twin: Forget it. I’m just going to ignore the problem until it goes away or I die.

Ultimate lockpicker: ughhhhh i don’t wanna deal with it for that long can you just have an emotional confession in the rain or something

Evil twin: In your dreams.

Ultimate lockpicker: why on earth would i dream about that

Evil twin: idk your dreams are weird.

Evil twin: Goodnight.

Ultimate lockpicker: wait seriously

Ultimate lockpicker: just like that

Ultimate lockpicker: Vaniiiiii

Ultimate lockpicker: sweet dreams stinker

Notes:

I spy with my everything eye from my knowledge is just from some Hermitcraft streams recently (could be wrong though, that’s just where I heard of it first) which in case you’re wondering yes that does mean Kairi and Sora both watch Hermitcraft. I may be projecting a bit there. I think Kairi would like Gem’s pov but I’m less sure about Sora. Roxas is more of a life series guy. Why am I going on this tangent? We got some insight into some of their home lives! The boys have a single mom and Ansem the wise is Kairi and Naminé’s dad bc I like that head canon for writing purposes even if I don’t think it’s true. It was surprisingly hard to write the game because I knew the answer but I also had to write believable questions so sorry if it felt unrealistic.

Notes:

Chat fics are so fun actually I don’t know why people have a bit of a problem with them. All of the nicknames do have a bit of a backstory behind them from Sora’s pov (cause he’s the owner of the chat) so feel free to ask me about any of them! I do try to have most people show up as often as I can while it feels natural but some people kinda slip through the cracks, so apologies if your fave isn’t in this as much. Also, sorry to anyone expecting an And sometimes I just can’t help myself update, I ended up procrastinating too much and having to post this instead since it’s been sitting in my docs for a minute
