constantvigilance added pidgeotto , mattata , shirogayne , adamn , hunkofburninlove , sashayaway , imsoalluring , and romellewoods to the chat

 

constantvigilance: okay

constantvigilance: is everyone here in agreement that rolo is an asshole and treats keith like shit?

pidgeotto: i mean, i dont like him but it seems like he makes keith happy

pidgeotto: i mean the jacket thing was weird but it wasnt like he was /really/ doing anything horrible to keith

hunkofburninlove: idk man, i just get this really bad vibe from him

romellewoods: ditto!

hunkofburninlove: :0

romellewoods: :0

constantvigilance: see! thank you!! hunk gets it!

sashayaway: but also, we dont exactly have any evidence of him /actually/ treating keith bad

hunkofburninlove: ^^exactly

constantvigilance: my thanks have been removed

shirogayne: im not a huge fan of him either, it seems like keith is always coming home crying about something that he did that got rolo upset

adamn: ^^ive seen that too, and when he explains it we're not even sure if keith /actually/ did something wrong to warrant rolo's anger

shirogayne: but theres also days where he'll come home really happy because of rolo

adamn: hes even talked about getting promise rings and telling rolo that he loves him

imsoalluring: i mean they have been together for like,, 2 years

constantvigilance: yeah, their two years is this august

constantvigilance: just...im worried about him. i literally had to talk him out of a panic attack like ten minutes ago bc he was freaking out about the jacket thing

pidgeotto: why was he freaking out so bad??

constantvigilance: idk but he kept looking at his phone so im assuming rolo had been texting him some shit

sashayaway: texting?? i thought rolo had work?

hunkofburninlove: ^^and isnt he a mechanic at Beezer's?? he definitely wouldn't be able to use his phone

imsoalluring: why would he lie about work?

mattata: think about it, why would a scumbag of a boyfriend lie about where they are

mattata: theres really only two main options and somehow i dont think rolo is planning some big surprise for keith right now

shirogayne: you dont really think he's cheating?

constantvigilance: i wouldn't put it past him

 

constantvigilance named the group KEITH PROTECTION SQUAD

 

romellewoods: accurate

imsoalluring: alright, so who's gonna go to beezers and check this out

constantvigilance: unfortunately, i cant. im still with keith and he'll be out the bathroom soon.

constantvigilance: that boy needs a good cuddle and a blanket around him

romellewoods: since lura and i are on campus now, we cant either

imsoalluring: ^^

pidgeotto: i thought you guys were on your triple date?

imsoalluring: we were. but we had to leave early to get started on recruitment prep.

romellewoods: ^^ bid day wont decorate itself!!

mattata: pidgey and i can go

mattata: i can just pretend i need something fixed on my car

shirogayne: matt, you need everything fixed on your car

adamn: if i have to hear your muffler scraping against the pavement one more time so hELP ME-
