nightcord at four in the fucking morning

Summary:

Every night, at 1:00 AM, the members of Nightcord at 25:00 meet to create music together. Some nights, at 4:00 AM, the members of Nightcord (mostly Ena and Mizuki) end up disagreeing over (what Mafuyu considers to be) the stupidest things.

Or: the niigo chatfic literally nobody asked for

Notes:

i think it should be obvious who is who, but just in case:
K = kanade
Yuki = yuki
enanan = ena
amia = mizuki

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: is ketchup a smoothie?

Chapter Text

Yuki Today at 4:00 AM

What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?

 

enanan Today at 4:00 AM

why are you asking us this

 

Yuki Today at 4:00 AM

I’m working on the song lyrics.

 

enanan Today at 4:02 AM

knowledge is the stuff you know

wisdom is the stuff you should know that you only learn from experience

 

K Today at 4:03 AM

knowledge is information that you have, wisdom includes the ability to make good judgments

 

amia Today at 4:03 AM

hang on i have the perfect analogy

<Alt text: A Tumblr screenshot. It reads as follows:

||||| knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit

||||| wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad

|||| That was deep

||| philosophy is wondering if that means ketchup is a smoothie

|| That was deeper.

| common sense is knowing that ketchup isn’t a damn smoothie you nasty>

 

Yuki Today at 4:03 AM

I see. Thanks, everyone.

 

enanan Today at 4:03 AM

how would ketchup be a smoothie

 

amia Today at 4:04 AM

idk personally i think it could be

if you drank it

 

K Today at 4:04 AM

i used to drink ketchup on its own

so i think it’s like a smoothie

 

enanan Today at 4:04 AM

k... why were you drinking ketchup

 

Yuki Today at 4:04 AM

What does ketchup taste like?

 

amia Today at 4:05 AM

really good

best condiment ever

especially with fries

 

K Today at 4:06 AM

it’s slightly sweet and sour, with a smooth texture and a slight hint of vinegar

 

Yuki Today at 4:06 AM

Thank you, K.

 

enanan Today at 4:06 AM

K STOP DODGING THE QUESTION

WHY THE FUCK WERE YOU DRINKING KETCHUP

THATS SO GROSS

 

K Today at 4:07 AM

enanan Today at 4:07 AM

amia Today at 4:07 AM

enanan Today at 4:07 AM

Yuki Today at 4:07 AM

Who is Sans Undertale?

 

enanan Today at 4:07 AM

K I TRUSTED YOU

 

amia Today at 4:08 AM

k ur so real

 

K Today at 4:08 AM

okay but also i just liked drinking ketchup

 

enanan Today at 4:10 AM

......... moving past that

nobody answered my original question

how the hell would ketchup be a smoothie

 

K Today at 4:11 AM

because i drink it like a smoothie

 

enanan Today at 4:12 AM

okay but that would make every edible liquid a smoothie

which is not true

 

K Today at 4:12 AM

oh

i didn’t think of that

 

amia Today at 4:15 AM

well, you see, a smoothie is a thick, smooth drink created by pureeing fruit and other assorted ingredients in a blender. although it commonly has a liquid base, not every smoothie has milk or yogurt. as long as it includes pureed fruit, it is a smoothie. and since tomato is a fruit and ketchup is made by pureeing tomatoes with other ingredients to form a thick, smooth liquid, it is a smoothie as long as it is treated like a drink.

 

enanan Today at 4:15 AM

amia wtf

 

K Today at 4:15 AM

thank you, amia

 

amia Today at 4:15 AM

ur welcome :3

 

enanan Today at 4:15 AM

enanan Today at 4:16 AM

COMMON SENSE

 

K Today at 4:16 AM

enanan Today at 4:16 AM

amia Today at 4:17 AM

enanan Today at 4:17 AM

I NEVER SAID THAT DRINKING KETCHUP WAS GROSS

 

amia Today at 4:18 AM

<Alt text: A Nightcord screenshot. It reads as follows:

enanan Today at 4:06 AM

K STOP DODGING THE QUESTION

WHY THE FUCK WERE YOU DRINKING KETCHUP

THATS SO GROSS>

 

enanan Today at 4:18 AM

ok so maybe i did say that

BUT I TAKE IT BACK

K PLEASE

 

K Today at 4:18 AM

sorry, amia wins this one...

 

Yuki Today at 4:18 AM

I’m back.

I was researching ketchup because I was curious.

And I learned that the process of creating ketchup involves simmering the tomato mixture.

However, smoothies do not involve the process of transforming the ingredients by cooking them, as they are typically cold drinks.

Therefore, although ketchup does include a puréed fruit, it cannot be classified as a smoothie.

 

enanan Today at 4:20 AM

i cant believe im saying this

BUT THANK YOU YUKI

FOR BEING THE ONLY ONE WITH A BRAIN IN THIS GROUP

 

Yuki Today at 4:20 AM

I was only stating the truth.

 

enanan Today at 4:20 AM

UGH JUST TAKE THE COMPLIMENT

 

amia Today at 4:20 AM

warm smoothie

 

enanan Today at 4:20 AM

AMIA NO

 

Yuki Today at 4:20 AM

Smoothies are not boiled, Amia.

 

K Today at 4:21 AM

hey yuki?

 

Yuki Today at 4:21 AM

Yes?

 

K Today at 4:21 AM

wouldn’t that make ketchup a soup?

 

amia Today at 4:21 AM

KETCHUP SOUP

 

enanan Today at 4:21 AM

SOUP???????????

 

Yuki Today at 4:21 AM

Soups are typically boiled liquids, but can be served cold. So yes.

 

amia Today at 4:21 AM

SOUP

SOUP

SOUP

 

K Today at 4:21 AM

soup!!!!

 

amia Today at 4:21 AM

KETCHUP SOUP

 

enanan Today at 4:21 AM

TOMATO SOUP IS SEPARATE FROM KETCHUP

 

amia Today at 4:21 AM

KETCHUP IS SOUP!!!

YOU CANT HIDE FROM THE TRUTH, ENANAN

 

K Today at 4:22 AM

what do you have against ketchup soup?

 

enanan Today at 4:22 AM

TOMATO SOUP ALREADY EXISTS AND IT IS NOT KETCHUP

 

K Today at 4:22 AM

but ketchup can also be soup

 

amia Today at 4:22 AM

ketchup is a smoothie soup

 

K Today at 4:22 AM

a soupthie?

 

amia Today at 4:22 AM

smoup

 

K Today at 4:22 AM

smoup!!!!!

 

enanan Today at 4:22 AM

this is the worst timeline

i refuse to live in a world with smoup

 

amia Today at 4:23 AM

im sorry you fear the truth

 

Yuki Today at 4:24 AM

Ketchup soup versus tomato soup is like orange juice with the pulp versus without the pulp.

I have never had orange juice, but based on my knowledge of ketchup, orange juice, and tomato soup, this makes sense to me.

 

amia Today at 4:24 AM

seems legit

 

K Today at 4:24 AM

as an orange juice liker this makes sense

 

enanan Today at 4:24 AM

AS AN ORANGE JUICE LIKER I HATE THIS

HOW IS ORANGE JUICE. LIKE KETCHUP.

i am HORRIFIED. i cant argue because i get the analogy

but just know that my soul hurts

 

K Today at 4:25 AM

i'm sorry the truth hurts you like this enanan...

 

amia Today at 4:25 AM

LMAO??????????????

 

K Today at 4:25 AM

you’re laughing... enanan is hurting and you’re laughing…

 

amia Today at 4:25 AM

enanan laughs at me all the time i dont wanna hear it

 

K Today at 4:25 AM

fair enough

 

enanan Today at 4:25 AM

HEY

 

Yuki Today at 4:25 AM

Not to change the subject, but I still have a question.

I searched it up and got confusing results.

Who is Sans Undertale?

Notes:

idk how to do formatting on ao3 so i just stuck with basic formatting. taking constructive criticism on how to make it look nicer

dedicated to the backrooms, specifically k, mercy, and nikki. thanks for letting me blatantly plagiarize parts of our ketchup conversation and for the idea in general

ALSO KETCHUP IS NOT A SMOOTHIE. OR A SOUP. OR LIKE ORANGE JUICE. JUST SO YOU ALL ARE AWARE
