Chapter Text
Lauren added Scott, Joel, Lizzie, Joey, Oli, and Callum to the group chat
Lauren renamed the groupchat to Lauren’s Besties
Lauren changed their display name to Galaxy Queen!
Galaxy Queen!: how did we not already have a groupchat???
Scott: probably because I’m new and just met like half of your friends today
Galaxy Queen!: fair, fair
Joey: I still don’t understand how you two are friends tbh
Joey: you constantly act like you hate each other, don’t share many interests, and seem so different.
Galaxy Queen!: We’ve been friends since elementary school! I basically just attached myself to Scott and he went along with it
Scott: …hard not to, when you make friends with someone they STAY your friend, whether they want to or not
Galaxy Queen!: yeah sounds about right
Galaxy Queen!: also it feels weird being the only one with a display name here can someone change theirs pls
Joey: yeah sure
Joey changed their display name to Cheer Captain
Cheer Captain: is that alright
Galaxy Queen!: why do you always rub it in everyone’s faces that you almost immediately became cheer captain after your audition?
Cheer Captain: because I can lol
Scott: wait, you’re cheer captain?
Cheer Captain: uh duh I thought that was pretty clear. i’m assuming you’re gonna ask if i’m gay now, right?
Scott: No, wasn’t planning to
Cheer Captain: most people do. they just assume that every guy who’s into cheerleading is gay, which isn’t true at all. I mean, I am gay, but there are plenty of straight guys on the cheer team. Sausage, for example.
Galaxy Queen!: how do you know that Sausage is straight?
Cheer Captain: I can tell. It’s like a magical ability
Galaxy Queen!: last i remember you were notoriously bad at this kind of thing, when did you gain that magical ability
Cheer Captain: me and sausage summoned a demon and it gave me the ability to read the minds of straight people
Galaxy Queen!: could you read my mind?
Cheer Captain: um
Cheer Captain: sure
Cheer Captain: you are thinking of… bread
Galaxy Queen!: damn you’re good at this
Scott: :/
Scott: what even was that conversation
Oli: hi guys what are we talking about
Galaxy Queen!: Joey can read the minds of straight people
Cheer Captain: yes
Oli: does that mean you could read Joel’s mind
Joel: Yeah read my mind, Joey
Cheer Captain: I AM BEING EXPLOITED FOR MY TALENTS
Cheer Captain: Lizzie where are you i am in need of your help
Lizzie: just watching the chaos unfold
Lizzie: personally i am a big fan of chaos
Lizzie changed their display name to Chaos Incarnate
Chaos Incarnate: :3
Chaos Incarnate: anyway Scott have you talked to my brother yet
Scott: No I don’t know your brother
Chaos Incarnate: so you didn’t briefly date a Jimmy Soldarity-Shadowlady during Grian’s social experiment summer camp?
Scott: Oh no yeah i did. Haven’t talked to him yet though
Chaos Incarnate: he’s been stressing about it for a while
Chaos Incarnate: I’m kinda worried about ajnssihbjiiilksh
Chaos Incarnate: hi this is jimmy. do not believe what my sister says she is lying. also lauren why wasn’t i invited to the gc i thought we were friends 😢
Galaxy Queen!: Jimmy you have not yet reached the rank of bestie. you know this.
Chaos Incarnate: this is Lizzie again i’m very sorry about my brother
Chaos Incarnate: for some reason he doesn’t like it when i tell his secrets to my friends
Meanwhile…

Official Good Boi: I’m hoping he comes to our club meeting tomorrow…
Spooky Bread Girl: OH I KNOW HIM
Spooky Bread Girl: we met once and i said we were twinning because we have similar hair and he rolled his eyes at me
Joey: Am I seriously the only one here who doesn’t know this ‘xornoth’ guy?
Oli: yes
Oli: yes you are.
Oli changed their display name to Better than Joey
Better than Joey: haha
Joey: wowww, real mature
Joey: well, two can play at that game!
Joey changed their display name to Better than Oli
Better than Oli: Imagine if that xornoth guy came back to this
Spooky Bread Girl: he’d abandon us immediately
Xornoth: no i wouldn’t
Xornoth: from what I’ve gathered, you guys are dumb as hell. But I wouldn’t give up my place in the Occult Club because of that.
Xornoth: I have important business to take care of, and the Occult Club gives me the resources I need to complete that business.
Xornoth: Oh, and yes. I will be coming to the meeting tomorrow. See you there, Joey.
Spooky Bread Girl: …
Spooky Bread Girl: why do you get all the attention joey
Better than Oli: bc i’m hot and popular and cheer captain
Better than Oli: that’s why
Spooky Bread Girl: I think you might be taking Scott’s role of “the worst”
Better than Oli: ☺️
Spooky Bread Girl: that is a very condescending emoji
Better than Oli: :)
Spooky Bread Girl: that smile will haunt my nightmares
Official Good Boi: are you guys okay??
Better than Joey: absolutely not
Better than Oli: don’t worry we’re always like this
Spooky Bread Girl: you just don’t know what it’s like in the lauren’s besties group chat
Official Good Boi: the what
Joey and Shrub’s epic messaging chat thingy
Shrub: Joey
Shrub: We need to talk
Joey: ?
Shrub: you joined the occult club?
Joey: yeah, so?
Shrub: one of the other members
Shrub: he’s not a good person, Joey
Shrub: he’s been to JAIL.
Joey: who, Sausage? To be fair he did not know that painting a giant X on his neighbour’s house was illegal. Don’t think he actually went to jail tho
Shrub: no- what? No, not Sausage. The president of the club.
Joey: Lauren?
Shrub: what?? Joey you know she isn’t president + she doesn’t use he/him
Joey: …Oli?
Shrub: Joey…
Joey: Well it’s not me
Shrub: did they not tell you about Xornoth?
Joey: OH YEAH THEY DID
Joey: he’s been to jail? for what? being… emo?
Shrub: being emo is not a criminal offense joey
Shrub: yet
Shrub: hopefully someday
Joey: stop dodging the question
Shrub: I can’t tell you, I’m supposed to keep it under wraps
Shrub: But please, Joey. Stay away from him.
Joey: I’ll try my best
Joey: He really doesn’t seem that bad though?
Shrub: Joey…
Joey: OKAY OKAY I GET IT I’LL STAY AWAY FROM HIM
Joey: its gonna be hard though he’s president of the occult club

Bird Brain: Tim it is midnight why are you not asleep
Fish Boy: i managed to convince scott that everything lizzie said in the gc was a lie
Bird Brain: Good for you, go to sleep
Fish Boy: WELL IT WASN’T A LIE WHAT DO I DO NOW
Bird Brain: Listen, Jimmy, and you know I’m being serious because I’m calling you by your real name, you’ve dug yourself a grave of lies. Be honest with him.
Fish Boy: BUT WHAT IF?????
Bird Brain: What if what? He seemed to care about you plenty during Third Life. He mourned you like you were dead when you got eliminated.
Fish Boy: wait what
Bird Brain: He made a grave for you and everything. Wrote “beloved husband” on it.
Fish Boy: holy crap
Fish Boy: I regret everything
Bird Brain: glad I could help. Now get some sleep Tim, you shouldn’t be staying up this late on a school night
