1220 changed their name to Kylian
Kylian: I need to do a research project for my culture and communications class about whether proper friendships can be formed online. So I combined random phone numbers into a group chat who all have the same area code.
Kylian: If you don’t want to participate then leave now. Also if you’re a minor then please leave right now I’m not involving kids in this.
1225: You know what this sounds interesting. I’ll stay.
Kylian: Yay!
1224: I’ll stay but I need to know some things about everyone on the group first.
Kylian: Ok if you plan on staying change your contact to your first name, and if you feel comfortable sharing things (age, work, city you live in, country of origin, exc) then you can.
1225 changed their name to Sergio
Sergio: Much better!
1224 changed their name to Gerard

Kylian: Arra, nice of you to finally show up. Btw you’re the only person deliberately put in this gc, everyone else is coincidental

Achraf: so i’m achraf, kylian’s best friend, i’m 22 and i live in real madrid. pronouns are he/him and if you want you can call me arra actually i’m just going to put that as my name now.

Neymar: LEO TF ARE YOU DOING HERE
Leo: idk i was added tho sounds fun
Kylian: so do you two know each other in real life?
Neymar: Yup! Lionel, or more commonly known as Leo, is my best friend ever! He’s 25 and also lives in Barcelona, but he’s from Argentina. He works in some science shit and is super crazy smart. He also never uses capitals or punctuation in his texts, so excuse him if he sounds dry
Leo: why did you do my introduction for me
Neymar: Because you would’ve never done it properly!
Kylian: what are you two’s pronouns?
Leo: I use he/they, it really depends on the day. if you find it easier to use he/him, that’s what most people do because they find it easier than alternating or asking
Arra: bro i’m not gonna misgender you just because it’s “easier” for some people.
Neymar: and i’ll literally use anything. idc if you want to cycle through some sets or if you just want to stick to one pair anything feels fine.
Neymar:[leoconsentedtothispic.jpeg]
Neymar: that’s Leo
1227: sorry for asking, but are you Lionel Messi?
Leo: yup that’s me, why
1227 changed their name to Cris
Cris: i’m fairly sure that our works are constantly being compared to one another.
Leo: you’re cristiano ronaldo????
Cris: The one and only.
Cris: some of your work on genetics is extraordinary, i’ve cited some of your research in a few of my works.
Leo: likewise. some of your breakthroughs are extraordinary, and your work discovering the science behind the brain had helped my research more than you’ll ever know
Neymar: omg Leo being cilvil and actually talking to people he’s just met :O
Leo: shut up ney
Cris: Anyways i’m Cris, i’m a 27 year old neuroscientist in madrid, but i grew up in portugal. he/him pronouns.
Sergio: how tf do you guy’s brains work.
Cris: ????
Sergio: I just googled both of you and read some of your work. your brains should not be able to figure that shit out. I can barely identify parts of a cell
Neymar: me too, i’ve known Leo for eight years and i still zone out every time they start talking about science.
Arra: ok, but aren’t we still missing a member of our group?
Kylan: yeah, @1226, where are you?
1226: Oh, I’ve always been here. I just hadn’t responded yet.
