Notes:
The age of this fic shows as I started writing this in the summer of 2022
Chapter Text
—Water is Wet—
Barbara: Hey has anyone seen Kokomi?
Xinqui: No? isn’t she your roommate?
Barbara: Yeah, but I can’t find her…
Mona: But why do you need to find her?
Barbara: I left for like 30 minutes and within those 30 she left and locked the door
My Keys are still inside.
She keeps Her phone on DND all the time so I cannot get ahold of her
Childe: How do you set your Phone to Dungeons and Dragons?
Mona: DND like do not disturb
Childe: :(
Barbara: is anyone else in this dorm right now?
Mona: Nope
Xinqui: Nope, I’m hanging with the Bois
Childe: You aren’t hanging with the Bois, you’re hanging out with Chongyun
Xinqui: AND? You're with Zhongli your point?!
Barbara if I were you just climb through the window it’s easy
Childe: and you have a lot of experience climbing threw windows?
Xinqui: Listen here you little shit
Childe: I’m taller than you
Xinqui: I could beat your ass any day
Childe: Bet
Let’s fucking go
Mona: Get his ass
Barbara: Guys the window is locked too.
Mona: I don’t believe that you went through with it.
Just asked yelan if she has a lockpick
Yelan: I do not
and I’m not at the dorm anyway.
Barbara: Do any of you actually even sleep at the dorm?
Mona: Everyone but Xinqui and Childe. But yes no one is at the dorm but you right now.
Barbara: Ok :,D
Mona: Yelan, if you are at the mall can you please get a video of Xinqui and Childe fighting
More specifically, Childe getting his ass kicked
Yelan: I am not at the mall
Mona: Awww
:(
—Water is Wet—
Ayato: I just heard a large crash come from down the hall, what happened?
Barbara: Fun fact throwing your whole body at a door with a running leap, does not break down a door :)
Ayato: Ayo
That was you?
Barbara: You’re still in the dorm?
Ayato: Yeah
Barbara: Have you seen Kokomi?
Ayato: Nope
Why do you need to get into the room so badly?
Barbara: Cause, I Only have my phone with me and I’m in my pyjamas still.
Childe: if this helps, Kokomi is at the mall in the bookstore.
Barbara: Can you tell her I’m locked out?
Ayato: How do you know that?
Childe: I’m at the mall.
Xinqui: With Zhongli,
Childe: And you’re with Chongyun???
Xinqui: Gay
Childe: You are too???
Mona: I’m pretty sure nobody in this dorm is straight.
Childe: well we are hydro for a reason
Yelan: What is that supposed to mean?!
Childe: Pasta is straight until it gets wet 😛
Yelan: you’re on cleaning duty now
Childe: what is it slander childe day or something
Xingqiu: No tortellini that's everyday every day
Chapter 2: The fire Part 1
Notes:
I think by writing (or at least) posting this fic, I'm covering two very different ends of the spectrum for fics.
Chapter Text
—Water is Wet—
Mona: GUYS DOES ANYONE HAVE THE MATH ASSIGNMENT, I FORGOT !!!!!!

Xinqui: Busy

Yelan: I’ll help you.
—Water is Wet—
Xingqiu: Barbara
Barbara: ??
Xingqiu: Yelan said it’s my turn with the brain cell
square up!
Childe: No, it’s my turn
Barbara: I’m Sorry
do you
have an assignment due in 5 hours?
You can all survive without it for 5 hours
Mona: I’m pretty sure It’s my turn
Ayato: Can I have a turn with the brain cell, I’m trying to cook
Childe: No You're not!
Kokomi: You’re sure as heck isn’t cooking at all even with the single shared brain cell
—
“Kokomi...” Said Mona “You do realize we need to pay for it now,”
“To be fair I didn’t know that the whole Cupboard would collapse, I thought it would be properly hung on the wall. It would be able to support the weight of the Pan,”
“But even so? The pot is far too heavy to be put in a floating cupboard,” Said Ayato
“Now we need to clean up the cupboard, and where just trying to make breakfast!” said Barbara.
“Guys the stoves are on fire!” Yelled Childe “Why weren't you watching it?”
“No, you where supposed to be,” Said Xingqiu.
“YOU’RE READING A BOOK IN THE CORNER!”
—Announcements (it's not used for announcements)—
Jean: Okay, who in the Pyro dorm set off the fire alarm this week?
Xaingling: This week it wasn’t us.
Yanfei: Yeah it sounds like it’s coming from the hydro dorm.
Yea Miko: I thought I heard a crash from there a few minutes ago.
Amber: I’m sure one of them just burnt toast.
Venti: Then why is it still going you would’ve thought someone would’ve turned it off by now.
@hydro_dorm
Hutao: Honestly just let it happen, they have hydro visions so I’m sure they can deal with this.
—
“OH MY GOD, GET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER!” Yelled Mona
“No, don’t worry you just gotta smack it with a towel,” said Ayato
“NO! THAT’S JUST GOING TO SPREAD THE FIRE!”
“Good Morning everyone at 3 am, I would like to know why- THE KITCHEN IS ON FIRE?” Yelled Yelan
—Announcements (it's not used for announcements)—
Yanfei: Should we check on them? Make sure they haven’t (accidentally) Set themselves on fire
It’s been going off for a few Minutes
Amber: I’d like to believe that they are smart enough to not let that happen
Hutao: if we see smoke coming from the building, then maybe.
Venti: Hydro, you have visions use them if something is on fire
Xaingling: I’m going to go check on them.
Venti: I’ll come with you.
—Announcements (it's not used for announcements)—
Venti: and then they had the audacity to be surprised
Yoimiya: at least the Pyro dorm has a reason to be set on fire on a weekly basis
Hutao: we have, both Bennett and Klee.
Itto: bro everyone in th epyro Dorm is a walking fire hazard
Hutao: And yet we don’t need to be told how to put out a fire
Jean: That's not something to be proud of!
—Water is Wet—
Childe: We are being slandered in the group chat
Mona: :(
Barbara: :(
Ayato: I’m hungry, i might ask Thoma to bring something over
Mona: Will you share?
Ayato: no find your own food
Mona: Rude
Barbara: Mona, I’ll go out and get some food.
What do you want?
Mona: Just a salad
Barbara: What do you want?
Mona: chicken sandwich
Barbara: Okay
Kokomi?
Kokomi: I’m good.
Barbara: Okay
I’m going now
Childe: ????
Barbara: YOU DON'T GET FOOD YOU BRUNT HALF THE KITCHEN
Childe: That was a team effort.
Chapter 3: Play volleyball with the shared Brain Cell
Notes:
Good morning :)

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

—Water Is Wet—

Barbara: add that to a list of poor 4am ideas

Mona: am I no allowed to come because I’m broke?
Xingqiu: you can come, childe can pay.
Childe: I will?
Xingqiu: yep
Childe: okay
Mona: Ty <3
Kokomi: you know after the whole fire incident, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be impossible to leave to go somewhere without someone trying to surprivse
Xingqiu: I mean we could always just jump the fence
Mona: I say we go to the beach
Childe: beach and resort
we need to win who had the most epic break every
I will Pay extra for everyone to do this!
Barbara: I don’t think there was any competition
Xingqiu: planning session Common room right now :)
—Announcements (It’s not Used for announcements)—
Venti: Well i got permission
Jean: For what?
Venti: To hold a party on the grounds the night that break starts :)
Only 2 rules, do not be too loud and The hydro’s are not allowed to bring food
Childe: COME ON WE SET THE DORM ON FIRE ONCE!!!!
THE PYRO’S SET THERE DORM ON FIRE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK
HECK LAST WEEK THERE WAS 3 DIFFERENT ACCENTS
HUTAO SET THE KITCHEN ON FIRE!
BENNETT SET HIMSELF ON FIRE!
KLEE CAUSED AN EXPLOSION! RESULTING IN A FIRE!!!!
AND WE SET THE KITCHEN ON FIRE ONCE! ONCE! AND WE’VE BEEN GROUNDED FROM EVER COOKING AGAIN!
Xiangling: but you didn;t put out the fire and you can
Childe: :| i realize i cannot win
it’s 7 people verses like 35 it’s unfair
—Water is Wet—
Xingqiu: Emergency Meeting!
Mona: It’s gonna look wired if all 3 of us leave, they already don;t trust us
Barbara: Cover for Me and Kokomi Then.
Mona: but i wanna come too.
Xingqiu: no time, all of you come now!
Yelan: Is the dorm on fire?
Xingqiu: No! Did you see the group chat?
Yelan: I’ll cause a diversion
—
“When Yelan said she’d cause a diversion. I didn’t expect her to flood a school bathroom,” Said Childe
“And they’ll never find out how it happened,” Said Yelan
“They won’t?” asked Kokomi
“I made it look like the pipe burst,”
“Why?”
“Because we’ve already spent the money for this trip i do not want it to go to waste,” said Yelan.
“You do know that they’ll be able to deduce that the pipe was likely tampered with? Right” asked Mona.
“None of you did it and if they ask me, I won’t tell them I did it,”
—Announcements (It’s not Used for announcements)—
Venti: Eyo, I didn’t plan an entire event to not have the entire Hydro dorm just not show up
Xinyan: Have y’all even seen them since like 3?
Hutao: No
Amber: Should someone go make sure they didn’t burn to death or Sm
Hutao: nvm, i’m pretty sure i saw them get on a train going the opposite direction i’m going
they were running, with suitcases
Venti: and where were they going?
Hutao: i don’t know i didn't ask them
Venti: Oh yeah talking about the hydro dorm i saw an application for a few new students.
they are getting a new Dorm-mate
Yanfei: That’s the one way to summon them
Xingqiu: *0* One of us!
Barbara: *0* One of us!
Mona: *0* One of us!
Childe: *0* One of us!
Kokomi: *0*
Ayato: *0*
Yelan: *0*
Venti: Are you done?
anyway where are you guys going to?
Yanfei: You are aware that the hydro dorm probably has some sort of bot set up to do that?
Hutao: Yeah… they may play volleyball with a single shared braincell. But they are all definitely smart enough to do something like that
Yanfei: Nobody is that in-sync with each other.
Ayaka: From what i heard from Ayato, when he and Yelan showed up for the first time everyone dumped buckets on water on them.
Venti: How come I didn’t get that kind of welcome when i showed up?
Xiao: you’ve been here since the start of the term thats why
If you really want everyone in the anemo dorms can just get a bunch of fans and point them at you.
Venti: I meant to the hydro dorm…
The welcome i got last time was Fire, which is more appropriate for pyro.
Sayu: Do you wish to be surprise every time you enter anemo?
Venti: No
At least in electro i get greeted by beido offering me alcohol
It the opposite in cryo dorm, if i ever go there i get glared down by diona
Diona: Thats just how everyone acts in the Cyro dorms we all just don’t talk.
Also because you are always drunk >:|
Ayaka: And some of us have murderous entent
Xiao: that’s only shenhe
Venti: No no, cryo dorms could all absolutely find a way of murdering someone and leave no traces
shenhe is the most likely one to go through with it.
Sucrose: may i ask how?
Venti: Ice
however accidentally i’d say diona
Diona: Who would ever say it’s accidental?
Childe: See Ya later!
Jean: Where are you going?
Childe: to the beach
Hutao: Just you?
Xingqiu: No everyone in the hydro dorm
Yanfei: Even Mona?
Mona: HEY!
Childe: Yeah! Everyone in the hydro dorm includes Mona.
Xingqiu: together strong
Jean: Is Yelan there?
Yelan: Hello yes, i am Yelan. I am also on the plane. Soon to take off.
Childe: Y’all have a grade kindergarten reading level
Jean: And Barbara is There?
Barbara: I certainly think so?
I seem pretty solid right now
Mona: She’s right
Thoma: Just making sure Ayato is there right?
Ayato: YES!
Childe: Yall really don’t trust us?
Venti: YOU SET YOUR DORM ON FIRE!
Mona: We’ve learned our lesson!
Jean: Yeah, go ahead
Childe: I mean you can’t stop us, we are all on the plane
Hutao: Well as long as you all learn your lesson, I guess the 6 of you have fun then.
Jean: as long you all double up the 6th of you should be fine.
Childe: ?
Mona: …… dude
Barbara: I hate to say it but..
Childe is proven correct
Yelan: …..
Ayato: 👁️👄👁️
Xingqiu: *Smacks Lips*
Jean: Did you all lose Someone already?
Hutao: Is someone missing, did you lose someone?
Childe: Nope
—
“I can’t tell if i’m upset and offended or proud that i finally achieved becoming invisible,”
“It’s Okay, Kokomi,”
“Hang on I wanna see how long it take to figure out we have seven people,” Said Childe
“Maybe they just trust you more,” asked Mona
“Wait until they find out I accidentally set the kitchen fire and few days ago,” Said Kokomi
“What?” asked Yelan
“You were all out,”
“That was you?” asked Barbara
“Yep,”
“I thought I heard the fire alarm when I was over at the geo dorm,”
“I mean it was a grease fire, and i couldn’t find the fire extinguisher but i turned off the fire alarm,”
—Announcements (It’s not Used for announcements)—
Yanfei: Why was Childe proven correct?
Xingqiu: Guys Count
Jean: So you are missing someone
Ayato: 👁️👄👁️
Try again
Venti: You guys can’t go into double and you've all been separated on the plane
Childe: Alright Then
Source: Trust us we know what we are doing
Xingqiu: We need to put our phones on airplane mode
Barbara, Mona, Childe, Xingqiu, Kokomi,
Yelan and Ayato
Cannot currently send or receive messages
Hutao: …
I don’t get it.
Notes:
Trying to remember when I wrote this chapter and it was probably right before Sumeru released. Enough that I was aware of Nilou and Candace.
So those two soon.
Chapter Text
—Announcements (It’s not used for announcements)—
9:45 am
Venti: Goodmorning Everyone, I am wickedly hung over.
Hutao: You were the one who spiked the punch!
I have massive headache thanks
Diona: That why you shouldn’t drink Alcohol it poisons you!
Eula: Aren’t you a bartender?
Diona: Let Me Ruin the wine industry!
Amber: So hows the hydro dorms vacations that you all went on?
Ayato: Pretty good, The 6 of us got pizza that barbara won from a karaoke competition
Childe: She wiped the floor with everyone else
Barbara: :D
Mona: Me and Xingqiu got some neat books and other things from a neat book store
I’m going to go broke
Xingqiu today we are gonna go to the water park we are headed their soon
Hutao: Next time bring us
Venti: i was going too say something about hydro going to the pool but…
Childe: Don’t slander our cooking
Amber: Fine,.
Jean: Stay doubled up or as a group at the water park, so the 6 of you don’t get lost
Childe: Please just trust us, we all went out at first by our selve last night and we are All still here
Mona: !
Childe: What?
Wait…
Xingqiu: OH SHIT
Barbara: Never mind
We are not all here
Amber: YOU LOST SOMEONE!
Childe: Funny Story
Yes
Yanfei: who’d did you lose? I wouldn’t be worried if it was Yelan.
Yelan: No kokomi
Hutao: Wait thats right you are 7
Yanfei: are you sure she isn’t in her room
Mona: I mean that’s where I’d expect she’d be but
I only just realized cause we were getting ready to leave from our hotel and realized she wasn’t here since I went back to look for her.
Jean: when was the last time you saw her?
Mona:….
Yesterday when we first got here
Barbara: in our defence she normally disappears at school and we can’t find her
Ayaka: but? You would’ve also last night then?
Childe: that’s on Mona, we have 4 hotel rooms and Mona and kokomi are sharing
Ayaka: I thought Barbara and kokomi were roommates?
Barbara: the situation wouldn’t have improved, I lose track of her at least once a week for more than 24 hours
Mona: also it doesn’t help Yelan often leaves and goes missing as well.
Yelan: She could be somewhere in the forest reading a book
Ayato: Or she’s been kidnapped
Xingqiu: Let’s go ask the hotel staff
—Announcements (It’s not Used for announcements)—
Childe: Well…
Kokomi is definitely not inside the hotel
Ayaka: So she missing
Yelan: and we are the prime suspects :(
Xingqiu: the only alibis we have are the stores we were in at 5 o’clock and the pizza place at 630 ish
So the police are checking the footage at those places
Mona: So we are stuck in our different hotel room
I’m lonely!
Xingqiu: You are right now? I don’t have a roommate?
Mona: Dude
My roommate is missing.
Xingqiu: ???????
At least you have a roommate at school
Mona: Also i’m not in my room, i’m in a different room, so the investigators can make sure there was no fool play or sm
—Announcements (It’s not Used for announcements)—
Barbara: Good News
We are no longer suspects :D
Xingqiu: Bad New
Kokomi is still missing
Barbara: D:
Yanfei: you don’t seem to concerned
Childe: We are using humour to cope
Venti: …..
Mona: since our whole day was wasted, we are going out to get dinner.
Barbara: Also like i said before this isn’t the first time Kokomi has gone missing
But it is the longest
Amber: Should i be worried that, this si the first time.
Or today is the first time i’m hearing about the fact that Kokomi goes missing regularly and nobody is ever informed.
Barbara: She’s always come back in the past.
Xingqiu: Most of the hydro dorm is aware, most of the time too.
Jean: MOST?
What do you mean by MOST of the Hydro dorm knows when Kokomi goes missing.
Childe: It depends who is at the dorm.
Mona: Considering that Xingqiu and Childe are rarely at the dorm unless it’s to go to sleep, Yelan can also be gone for days. Barbara Spends most of her time also not at the dorm, either working in the library with me and ayato or with other people in the dance/music wings.
Mona: Or helping in the health office
Hutao: But wouldn’t barbara realize her roommate is missing.
Barbara: It’s a common occurrence so i don’t question it.
Ever
Hutao: But you two are in almost every class together
Barbara: and your point?
I’d be more worried if, Noelle or Bennet or Razor or Fischl went missing.
Noelle: Thank you
Venti: Would you fly home Immediately if one of them went missing
Barbara: Yes
Venti: Would you be worried if you didn’t see or hear from them
Barbara: Of course
What kind of friend to you take me for? :(
HuTao: But you aren’t worried about Kokomi
Barbara: Right now i am cause we are in another city
But at school, i don’t cause she always comes back.
I trust
Barbara: Wait… I’d be more worried if Noelle or Bennett went missing. Cause Noelle is always there and i’d be worried if she had gotten sick or collapsed and Bennett could have fallen down a hole or into a river.
Noelle: Thank you for worrying about me, but i’m fine.
Bennett: thats a fair assessment… yeah
Itto: you just fall down holes like they just appear?
Bennett: Yeah, Pretty much
Jean: Electro?
Beido: I’m not at the dorm have the time anyway, nobody is really. But Fischl has her raven oz and razor also runs off into the forest and always comes back.
I’m not worried
Jean: I’m keeping closer tabs on hydro and electro now too.
Childe: We are fine, and electro is fine
Leave us be.
—
Yelan: Good new Kokomi wasn’t kidnapped
And she’s not dead
Amber: where did they find her.
Childe: She went and sat down on a rocky part of a beach, which is quite isolated to read a book.
she lost track of time and then fell asleep
For nearly 24 hours
Mona: She walked into the hotel, when we were out for dinner and was confused by the police being there.
Jean: Where is she now?
Xingqiu: She’s with, Ayato and Barbara, they went out to get food.
Xingqiu: (Ayato wanted to go to the specialty boba tea place and convinced Barbara by saying they had a spicy flavoured one, Kokomi went cause she wanted dinner)
Yelan: I didn’t know there was a spicy one, he didn’t tell me. :(
Notes:
Don't worry next chapter or two should go back to Just Hydro or mostly Hydro, it will get less as it goes. (The reason why I don't know is because I'm deciding where each of the chapters start and end as I post) I have about 14k written so far.
If I were to not care about character deaths? would anyone want me to put the previous hydro archon Egeria in this fic? This is framed as a question but I probably will, but that won't be relevant until I catch up to where I've written to.
Chapter 5: More of them
Notes:
I think I wrote this chapter before Sumeru Came out.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

—Announcements (It’s not Used for announcements)—
Zhongli: Just letting everyone know we have some new students now, coming in to the school now. I hope that someone from each dorm is in and can help and welcome the new students.
Venti: WOOOO! The dendro Dorms aren’t gonna be abandoned!
Amber:
Thats now?
One of my friends said she was coming and i said i’d help her move her things.
Yelan: Can someone please check on the dorm for us please, we are stuck in traffic right now.
Xiangling: I thought you were suppose to come back two days ago.
Xingqiu:
well a storm moved in and our flight was cancelled, TWICE and redirected once.
so we are a little late coming back.
Childe: And we got stuck two different airports and our phones got back power just now since we all left our chargers in our checked
Jean: well atleast that makes sense that we couldn’t get ahold you guys
Venti: but we also didn’t hear about any missing planes or crashes.
but don’t you guys normally welcome new people by way of surprising them?
Barbara:
We had planned but now… I don’t know
Childe: I’m not saying anything cause I still would like to do something.
—Water is Wet—
Xingqiu: Hey guys?
Mona: what?
Xingqiu: we are suppose to get another person in right?
Childe: we are but I never saw anyone.
Xingqiu: You also were at the dorm for 2 minuets and then left to meet up with Zhongli.
Childe : How would you know either
Xingqiu:
… I wouldn’t
is anyone at the dorm?
Mona: No, I went out with Yelan to get some things like Milk and eggs
Barbara:
Sorry, I’m not either. Kokomi and I were asked by the nurses office to help Move things around and restock a few things.
But I don’t think it should be too long, Noelle, Qiqi and Bennett are here helping
Mona: Isn’t Baizhu a volunteer there, and I thought Noelle and Bennett didn’t.
Barbara : since the dendro dorms are getting 4 new people he’s off helping them. Noelle and Bennett are here cause they wanted to help.
Mona: Ayato are you at the dorm?
Ayato: Nope
Mona:
And you are all to busy to really keep up a conversation
….
—Nilou arrives and all other hydro vision holders get banned—
Venti Added 7 people (Nahida, Collie, Tighnari, Alhaitham, Dori, Deyha and Nilou)
Venti:
This is the school chat, this is suppose to be used as a place for announcements.
but we just use it to share memes
Jean:
Welcome to the academy
I hope you all have found your dorms okay
And i should also mention each dorm has it’s own group chat, but you’d need to talk to someone in your dorm to give you access
I suppose the Dendro dorm needed to make one still, but look for someone who is in the student council.
Venti: They are also suppose to be used for announcements but, there mainly used to plan things with the dorm in protest or something.
Mona: and if you keep bringing up the fire, and us not going to your party. We will continue to protest.
Hutao: Legend says if you even slightly bring up the incident they appear
Childe: Says you?
You can’t cook!
Hutao: My point is proven
Yelan: I just want to point out, I wasn’t involved with the initial fire that was the the other 6.
Venti: You didn’t put it out though.
Xingqiu : The Fire was caused by childe and we all know that.
Childe: you where suppose to be watching the stove?
Xingqiu : No
Childe: Well at that point i wasn’t worried about the stove cause Kokomi caused the cupboard to collapse
Kokomi: I thought it was properly anchored!
Barbara: Initially the reason why we were all in the kitchen was to prevent Ayato from burning down the dorm.
Venti: and you failed.
Ayato: :<
Venti Timed out 7 people (Xingqiu, Mona, Barbara, Childe, Kokomi, Yelan & Ayato) for a week
Venti: Okay now I can continue to slander them without getting rudely interrupted.
Amber:
ok for context for the new students, The hydro dorms accidentally set fire to the kitchen a month ago.
And then venti told them they weren’t allowed to cook for a party, so they all left on a vacation where they presided to lose Kokomi and they didn’t realize for over 12 hours.
—Water is Wet—
Xingqiu: rude
Childe renamed the “Water is Wet” to “Everyone else is mean >:(”
Barbara : ah yes we get bullied and then We get timed out
Kokomi: it sounds worse when you say it like that.
Mona: So did we get a new student?
Yelan: I have no idea, and we now can’t see any messages
Ayato:
This time they can’t blame us if something happens, cause we wouldn’t know.
I also got back awhile ago i saw no one
Barbara: We are both coming back now, and i don’t see anyone either.
Yelan: same here, we didn’t see anyone either and we walked all the way through the to our building.
Mona:
In case you haven’t guessed, Both Childe and Xingqiu are not going to be at the dorm tonight.
Or maybe they might be Idk
Kokomi:
:|
Aight i’m going to go read, and hopefully pass out
Ayato: I can confirm childe is not here.
Barbara: I am also going to go to sleep.
—
Nilou:
Hi
I can’t find my dorm
Jean:
You’d be in hydro
Why did nobody from hydro help you?
Venti: Message Deleted
idk, hydro being hydro
Spite
Xiangling:
everyone in hydro is so nice :(
they wouldn’t propose fully do that
Hutao: are you only saying this cause you timed them all out?
Venti: No i would say this even if they were here
Thoma: Is it apart of your Daily agenda to slander Hydro now
Venti: yes
Diona: Can’t you just take them out of time out and ask them?
Venti:
When someone gets timed out in this group chat I can’t undo it until the time period is over.
Ehe
Xinyan: Hey xiangling if Nilou needs to she can stay in out room until we can get in contact with hydro.
Xiangling: If that would work for Nilou.
Jean:
Just bring her to the hydro dorm
I can text them individually see if someone can unlock the door
Xiangling: did anyone do what Yelan said or did you all ignore her?
Jean: oh right they were stuck in the traffic jam.
Venti: I just figured someone else would do it
Jean: Nobody is answering
Hutao : what do you expect it’s 12am
Jean:
the only response I got was from kokomi, which was an automatic response.
Nilou I guess get your dorm tomorrow
—Announcements (It’s not Used for announcements)—
Nilou: I don’t know if i can ask this here but…
Ayaka: Ask away.
Nilou:
I’m walking to my dorm and i see two people leave the building, but one is pratically dragging the other?
I found my room, but i’m just confused.
Yunjin : you Just saw Barbs with a half awake kokomi
Nilou: I take it, that this is a common occurrence?
Xinyan:
yeah
Me and yunjin will be outside the dorm, since you are in the same building as us.
Nilou: Okay
Xinyan:
Also barbs will be in our building later on after her classes finish.
She’ll be able to give you access to the dorm group chat
—Every one Else is Mean >:(—
Barbara:
i’ve been informed by jean that we do have new student in our dorm
And she was stuck outside at nearly midnight and nobody told us :<
Yelan: we didn’t know cause we can’t currently see the group chat
Barbara: I’m looking for her now
Xingqiu: You could’ve left Kokomi in the classroom to continue to sleep instead of continue to drag her around half asleep
Barbara:
She asked me to try and keep her awake this morning, so thats what i’m doing
For now, I’m bringing her back to dorm after this.
Alright i found her
Barbara Added Nilou to Everyone else is mean >:(
Xingqiu: Hello
Childe: we normally surprise people when they first come through the door but
Mona:
Hello
-Hang on each of you are in the student council don’t you all have a group chat too?
Xingqiu:
can someone please go get Kokomi from barbara, I’m worried she might collapse
we do but, no one uses it.
Barbara:
I’m bringing her back right now
I’m also bringing Nilou back to help her put her things away.
Nilou:
Why is the group chat name everyone else is mean?
Childe:
The main group chat keeps slandering us
Nilou:
is this because of the fire?
But we have hydro visions?
Barbara:
It looks bad when in retrospective but they keep dragging us it’s been a month
Mona: :/
Childe : They still let the pyro dorms cook and they cause fires weekly
Xingqiu : May I ask why kokomi was so tired
Barbara
: When she said she was going to read last night and pass out she indeed did not pass out and read 2 books
also her sleep schedule was already messed up, i think she was on like 4 hours of sleep for the past 3 days
I just hope she doesn’t wake up until tomorrow
Xingqiu: I read that as I hope she doesn’t wake up 💀
Yelan: Nilou can you let the school group that you found your room, and that you are okay
Nilou:
Yeah
I already did
Mona: what about the other group chat.
Barbara:
honestly I forget it exists we have it only for emergency meetings which never happen.
the last message that was sent there was the schedule for the meetings like 8 months ago.
Nilou: wait how many of you are in the student council?
Mona:
literally everyone but me
Which is why we don’t have a dorm head
Xingqiu: Mona is apart of the student council through Osmosis
Childe:
We aren’t the only dorm with out one
Both Cryo and Pyro don’t have a head student really
Yelan: They do
Childe: Oh yeah i forgot that.
Yelan:
They only exist to speak for everyone else in the dorm and requests that should be made to the dorm or school.
So we have that covered
Xingqiu: We are the student council and we speak for the hydros
Barbara: and what do they Hydros say?
Childe: The Hydros say fuck you
Barbara: I might use that later
Mona:
At what point is that useful?
Barbara:
Group chat
Mona:
I see
Understandable
Notes:
Like I said at the beginning of the chapter I wrote this before long before 4.0 So I guess I can say I was right.
I have the tendency to be right when I'm joking about the lore.
Thought about putting in a short theory, but given I exceed 1000 words with even short theories or lore tidbits. I'll have mercy, today.
tomorrow or next week. :)who knows.
(because who am I accept the girl who wrote 12k words on something that I don't even think is going to happen or at least not completely what is going to happen I think I'm at least correct about a few things (probably barking up the wrong tree on others), and someone who reads far too much lore for her own good)
Chapter 6: Huato tries to get more customers and a Spider
Summary:
Look the plot relevant spider :}
Notes:
:)
hey guys, I'm doing okay :)
:)
Any way the spider is relevant now :)
:)
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

—Every one Else is Mean >:(—
Childe: our time out expires soon :D

Venti: SHIT!!!!!
Bennett: i just saw, venti getting chased by Mona and xiao, and childe in hot pursuit of them dragging Barbs, kokomi, Nilou and Xingqiu
Yelan: I feel like alot of our problems would be solved if we just removed venti from this group chat
Jean: I agree but unfortunately i cannot do that
as He is head of the anemo dorm
Yelan: May i ask a question
Jean: Yes
Yelan: Why?
Jean: I don’t know! He just is!

Itto: who’s gonna win?
Noelle: Kuki just ran out of the class now
Kuki: i need to provent itto from doing something stupid
Bennett: Uh Should we leave to?
Sayu: Whats going on?
Noelle: Barbs, Kokomi and Kuki are out their already, nobody should get seriously injured
Yelan: I’ve seen xiao fight, someone will get hurt.
Hutao: which class is this again?
i’m not familiar.
Jean: Thats one of class’s for people who’s visions which have to do with healing.
Hutao: Eww

Cause people aren’t out here watching i’ll narrate
so hutao isn’t fighting with venti, she just fighting the healers it’s literally 9 v 1 and a 3 v 1
and she’s losing lmao, badly
i’m fearful now, I didn’t know that some of these people knew how to fight.
Also who gave the short tanuki a claymore?
Hutao: I’ll take the L
i’m not winning
but the offer of 10 coffins for the price of 5 is still available :)
Jean: Please don’t burry them.
Diona didn’t even fight you.
Hutao: but she is still apart of the class
The class which brings down my sales >:(
Bennett: I’m sleeping with one eye open for the next week, Hutao is only like 3 doors down from me. And i don’t want to get buried
Sayu: Itto you should sleep with both eyes open tonight.
Itto: What-
I already do that
—A Spider and Candance arrives—
Childe: Summon circle by the door
All lights off
Nilou: what?
Im kinda glad you guys didn’t welcome me like that.
Mona: It was actually barbara who accidentally started this traditions
Xingqiu: Yeah she was here like an hour before us
Barbara: I accidentally Hit them with water as they came through the door i was trying to kill a spider
A rather large spider
Mona: did you ever kill the spider?
Barbara:....
*Smacks lips*
Childe: I got a bunch of cups of water on the floor all the way to our hallway
Kokomi: Water balloons
Yelan: Ayato and I got buckets of water
Xingqiu: what happened to the spider
Barbara: Ran away, i live in fear
Mona: Maybe if we did burn down the dorm it wouldn’t be so bad…
Childe: how big was the spider?
Barbara: Size of my Hand
Xingqiu: chunky
Mona: Hairy
Barbara: Fast
Xingqiu: Menacing
Mona: And it disappeared
Kokomi: :|
Barbara: Have fun sleeping :D
Nilou: Your telling me a large spider is just living in the dorm somewhere?
Mona: Unfortunately yes
Nilou: fun
Ayato: Do I have permission to set the dorm on fire under the pretext of destroying the spider and it family
Childe: Yes, if you must.
—Announcements (It’s not Used for announcements)—
Ayato: Due to incidents that occurred before i got here, one day we might set the dorm on fire.
Don’t worry, we know what we are doing
if we set the dorm on fire, It was necessary
Venti: Stop trying to validate you accidentally setting the dorm on fire
Jean: No what Ayato is talking about is a incident that occurred when we all first got here
Itto: ?
Jean: There was apparently a very large spider in the common area.
Which Barbara, Mona and Xingqiu didn’t kill, as it ran away
Hutao: that seems reasonable.
Ayato: i was only informed of this spider as of earlier today.
we discussed this, and decided if we find out it spawned more spiders
will need to burn the dorm down
thank you for your time.
—Everyone Else is Mean >:(—
Yelan added Candence to ‘Everyone Else is Mean >:(‘
Candace: Was a summon circle necessary?
Xingqiu: yeah, we welcome new people to the dorm like this normally
Candace: I see
Childe: Also a fair warning the main group chat keep dragging our dorm cause we accidentally set it on fire a month ago
Barbara: Also there is a large spider, somewhere in the dorm
If it made more of it’s self
we need to burn the whole place down
Mona: Also Kokomi and Yelan go missing like once a week, sometimes for more than 24 hours
don’t worry they are fine
Kokomi: And if Ayato tries to cook, don’t let him
unless the spider has been seen and it has reproduced
let him burn the building down
Yelan: Mona is broke
Mona: Hey!
Xingqiu: Book club is on wednesdays and fridays
we discuss books and fanfiction
Nilou: I don’t have a lot to say, i’ve only been here for a week :\
Notes:
The only good thing is that past me no longer needs to be thoroughly trashed :)
:)))))
The only good news is that I will now be able to write a fic that I've had on the back burner since mid November.
heh

Childe: lol

Nilou: I thought Yelan and Shenhe?
Yelan: nope
Barbara: girlfried
Ayato: you know what i meant
Mona: but seriously i need advice
Kokomi: Didn’t you like that one edgy anemo boy
Childe: you gonna have to be a little more specific
Kokomi: the short one?
Yelan: Kokomi…
they are all short
Jean Is the tallest in the dorm.
Ayato: don’t let sayu hear you say that
Kokomi: Ei’s brother
Ayato: not Childe’s ‘I swear it’s a theatre group, not a criminal organization’ ex member 😭
Childe: It’s Not 😔
Mona: No
One of new transfer students
Barbara: Cryo??
Or Candace
Mona: A fellow astrologist

Candace: Just talk to her?
Mona: I’m to broke to be in a relationship
Kokomi: Bruh

Mona: no <3
Childe: the why did you ask us?

Mona: you are all very helpful
Childe: your welcome :)
Candace: do you want help like this?
—Candace > Layla—
Candace: Hey Layla I’m adding you to a group chat
Layla:?????
Candace added Mona and Layla.
Candace left
—
Candace: there you go
Mona: Ayo
wtf
Candace: a thank you would be nice
Xingqiu unmuted the conversation
Xingqiu: I care now
i want an update
Mona: she’s as sleep deprived as I am broke
Xingqiu: oh
so you’re prefect for each other
Mona: I still stand by my statement of before
I’m too broke to be in a relationship
Xingqiu: Now that does sound like a thing i can help with
I’ll give you 100 if you go on a date with layla
Childe: I’ll double it
take 200
Barbara: I’ll give you 50
Kokomi: 50
Yelan: take 50 and buy her a coffee
Ayato: 75 as well
Candace: You are aware you guys are the reason mona doesn’t have a job
Barbara: Mona has a job she just blows all her money on astrology shit
Mona: 🫠
Barbara: ???
it’s true
Mona: yeah don’t call me out like that
Xingqiu: okay have fun on your date :}
Mona: I haven’t even asked her out?
Yelan: Consider this, you’ll only get my 50 right now, and if you don’t take her out on a date
than all the other money is void
you don’t get it
Xingqiu: I agree
Childe: I second this
Kokomi: Yeah, it only has to be a coffee shop date
Xingqiu: Coffee shop AU’s are pretty good
Childe: Dude when do you ever read fluff? Or comedy? Or a slow burn?
Xingqiu: I’ve heard?
At least i’m reading something with sustenance, not angst and no confront only hurt
Childe: there is no plot in anything you read, it has the tag pwp for a reason
Barbara: I can attest to coffee shop au’s being nice very cozy :)
or any AU at all
Kokomi: Got any new recommendations?
I don’t have any preferences, send them all
Mona: there are 4 types of people.
Nilou: I’ve never read anything online before
story-wise
I’d like some recommendations
Mona: There are 5*
the only difference is 3 of them know what Xingqiu reads
and nilou doesnt
Nilou: What does Xingqiu read?
Kokomi: one of main genre’s of fanfiction
Ayato: Okay, but Xingqiu makes chongyun read the fics to him
Barbara: That doesn’t make it any better
Some how worse
Kokomi: Our dorm is next to his :(
Nilou: what are you all talking about
i’m confused
Xingqiu: would you like some recs?
Nilou: Sure :)
Mona: GUYS WHAT DO I DO?!
LAYLA AGREED TO GO WITH ME TO A COFFEE SHOP AND NOW I”M GOING TO DIE!
Ayato: go on the date? Lol
you asked her out ?
Barbara: Xingqiu, don’t scare nilou away from fics before she’s even started reading them
But i’ve seen and read some pretty wired fics years after i started reading fic and they still scare me
Kokomi: ah yes the weekend we spent seeing who could find the strangest fics on AO3 and Wattpad
Childe: who won?
Barbara: Kokomi
Kokomi: Me
Nilou: Xingqiu?
whats this
Kokomi: why did you send her that one!?
you had to send nilou one of the most hard core ones first
Nilou: but what is it
Kokomi: 😐
Nilou: but these are characters from a tv show?
did the writers really write this?
Barbara: no, its a fan work
thats why its called fanfiction
Nilou: Oh i get it
i don’t want to read anymore
Barbara: I can send you recs instead
all of them are very nice and not nasty
Xingqiu is the only one who (publicly) reads stuff like that
Xingqiu: what do you mean publicly? 🤨 📸
Barbara: you’re the only one who sends us that stuff in our fanfic/book club group chat
also i’m aware kokomi reads it to but she reads anything anyone sends in the group chat
Xingqiu: Says the girl who sends at least five coffee shop AUs a week
Barbara: But hear me out The SAME characters are Meeting a coffee shop this time 🥹
They’ve been through so much so they deserve the best and happiness 🥺
Xingqiu: They’ve been through so much so they should be aloud to fuck
Childe: they haven’t been through enough and suffer worse each time >:)
Xingqiu: Okay but hear me out
Barbara you get your wholesome fluff but they still fuck
Barbara: But why not just them being cute
Kokomi: all above are very good combine them and it’s still chef kiss
i’m willing to read everything so im not starving :)
Just read everything
(I have seen some shit)
Childe: NO
Barbara: NO
Xingqiu: NO
Mona: Ah yes, a typically Friday in book club 😞
Nilou: are other dorms in it?
Kokomi: no, it’s just Barbara, Xingqiu, Myself, childe and Mona
Xingqiu: we agreed to not let anyone into book club unless they are hydro.
Nilou: Why
Xingqiu: to keep the purity of the group chat 😌
Childe: there is nothing pure and holy about that group chat
Xingqiu: it keeps the quality good
Meme fics are okay, only if they are of the highest quality
Kokomi: Also we have a collective fanfic group chat for all the dorms
that's where you find the really weird stuff
Childe: we have one?
Kokomi: Yeah, the main group chat
Childe: So a typical day?
Barbara: I found the one hutao sent last week started my villain origin story
Xingqiu: is that why you’ve been so aggressive recently?
Barbara: yes
—Everyone else Is Mean >:(—
Xingqiu: Okay Mona, I wanna know how your date with layla went
Mona: She was really quite, and seemed really nervous
Xingqiu: Okay, You guys should go on another date to the park
and buy her another coffee
Kokomi: <3
That’s very cute
Xingqiu: and what do you know about dates?
You;ve literally never been on one.
Kokomi: Theres a thing called books
Just because i’ve never been on a date doesn;t me i can’t call one cute
Xingqiu: Lonely
Childe: What did Kokomi do?
Xingqiu: she told me yesterday morning that my hair looked like shit
Childe: THATS BECAUSE IT DOES,
WHO CUTs HAIR THAT LOPSIDED!!! 🥴
Don’t worry Yelan you make it work 👑
Xingqiu: Any way, Kokomi your lonely and make a effort to isolate yourself
You literally don;t have any friends
you’re gonna die alone lol
I only speak the truth <3
Barbara: You made Kokomi cry
>:(
—Announcements (It’s not Used for announcements)—
Bennett: I’m in the nurses office cause i fell down 5 flights of stairs and Xingqiu came in with a two black eyes and a bloody nose that looks broken.
and then barbara came in and said she thinks she broke two of her fingres???
I’ve literally never seen barbara look so mad
can someone please explain
Childe: Kokomi told Xingqiu that his hair looked like shit
Xingqiu told her she has no friends and she’s gonna die alone and she started crying
Hutao: Xinqgui, your hair looks like shit.
L
Venti: lmao, What?
Barbara broke her fingers punching Xingqiu in the face?
I’m terrified
Nilou: I’m so proud <3
Xingqiu: My nose is broken and i have two black eyes :(
Diona: Thats deserved for bullying Kokomi
kokomi is one of the nicest people in the school
And your hair does look like shit
Xingqiu : Says you?
Bennett: 🙂
Bennett: I’m terrified right now
Just So you know and you have it writing Barb, you are one of my best friends and I would never say anything mean about anyone of your friends
Barbara: I know <3
Hutao: Why did you write that, what happened
Bennett: Xingqiu is unconscious
Barbara: Xingqiu is unconscious
Ayato: Bennett praying for his life right now
Barbara: 🥺 I wouldn’t ever hurt Bennett
Amber: The only two good people left in this world are these two right now
Childe: Rosaria taught Barbara well apparently
Chongyun Keep a leash On your boyfriend, or at least stop him from bullying other people
Shenhe: Xingqiu bullies Chongyun daily
Thank you Barbara, You probably did less damage than I would have
Notes:
I typically don't post direct links to my other fics, but I'm determined to take as many people down with me.
It's based on one line of artifact lore :D, and is Egeria/Rukkhadevata In Remembrance of You, (Forget Me)
Chapter 8: The Fire Pt 2
Chapter Text
—it’s 3am, and a brief glance at the other dorms—
-Electro-
Keqing: Fischl Please stop yelling It’s 3am i’m trying to sleep
Fischl: Never
Miko : Don’t worry keqing everyone is still awake, not just you
Cyno : What do you call a fish with no eyes?
Sara: I will end you
Cyno: Fsh
Sara: Get back here
Razor: slep
Dori:
I have a good technique for sleeping
But it will cost you
Fischl: The wolf boy makes a point i will sleep
Keqing: FINALLY!
–Cryo–
Kayea:
The Non-verbal understanding I just witnessed between Ganyu and Layla
Was beautiful
It was ✨ immaculate ✨
Shenhe
: That understanding is literally universal
Nobody Ever sleeps in this dorm for one reason or another.
Kayea:
I would be asleep but your nephew is meditating or some shit in the main room of our dorm
and I can’t get in
Shenhe: then my point still stands
Ayaka: I can agree, I needed to go to a meeting and came back late and see eula, rosaria and Diona all sitting in the common area all awake. Trying to help qiqi with homework
–Anemo–
Venti:
Does anyone want to go out drinking?
Any takers
Xiao: Your are 1 door down from me, give me reason I shouldn’t end you
Venti: Cause you never sleep anyway
–Dendro & Geo–
*silent, everyone is sleeping*
–Pyro–
*Silents, but that is because they are throwing a rave*
–Everyone Else is Mean >:(–
Kokomi:
is it really our luck that we got put in the same area as pyro
They need to move them to the middle of the field
this is the 3rd time this week, they’ve had a rave
I can literally see their strobe lights from here
Childe:
*flame thrower’s*
Those are Flame Throwers kokomi
Nilou: !?
Yelan: why do they have flame throwers?!
Childe: IDK
Ayato: How tf are we considered a bigger risk than the pyro dorm
Childe: I DON’T KNOW
Barbara: IM IN TEARS
Mona:
EYO
I’m literally pilling shit into bags so fast right now, I’ve spent to much money on this stuff.
Xingqiu: Same, I cannot lose my notes for the books i’m writing
Yelan: well depending on the ultimate result, we might not have to pay for the damages
Kokomi: At least the spider will be gone
—Student Council—
Jean added Mona, Nilou and Candace
Jean removed venti from ‘Student Council’
Jean:
Nobody blames you all for the dorm burning down
your all going to be moved to the cryo dorm for the time being (if anything to save any other dorm from Xingqiu, they’re used to him too)
while the roof is being repaired
Luckily, your hallway was mostly spared with only smoke and Water damage
Mona: most of my stuff survived?
Jean: I thinks so
Mona : :D
Jean:
as for the pyro dorm the school will be doing a dorm search for any other possible fire hazards, before their dorm get burnt down
too
Childe:
Wrong time to say this, but the pyro dorm are a fire hazard
Why wasn’t anything done before?
Jean:
The a giant wall exists between the two buildings and the rest of the dorms
of course no one could’ve predicted fire starting on the roof.
or the fire alarm failing to go off
Kokomi:
🙃
that’s right I unplugged the fire alarm system well cooking one day and accidentally starting a grease fire
Jean: what?
Barbara: at least the spider is no more ✨✨✨
Notes:
but perhaps the spider still lives on?
Chapter 9: The After Math?
Notes:
Hey guys I'm back!
Nothing bad happened to me, it was just finals for University and Exams then I started working so I've just been busy and forgot to post this chapter for like 2 or 3 months :3
oops.
Chapter Text
Yelan Created A new group chat and added 19 people to it
Yelan: I know Cryo probably already has a dorm chat, but I figured it would better to create a new one that for us to joining your’s or verse versa
Ayaka: Yeah, that makes sense
Ganyu : Yelan does the Hydro group chat have any rules we should know about?
I can implement them here
Childe: You guys have rules
Layla: You guys don’t?
Kokomi : Our group chat and dorm is lawless land
anything goes
Diona: that sounds more fun, we aren’t aloud memes in our group chat
Rosaria : You also won’t let me ask if any one in the dorm wants to go drinking
Fair exchange
Diona: >:(
Xingqiu: May i ask how that happened?
Ayaka : Diona liked to send memes but got mad at rosaria for asking is anyone wants to go drinking
Diona threatened her and any one else that went drinking that she would incase their organs in ice
So Ganyu banned all mentions of drinking alcohol in retaliation rosaria told ganyu that she finds memes offensive and got them banned from our group chat as well
Kayea : and thus we now have three group chats for that incident alone :)
the asks if anyone wants to go drinking chat and memes are banned. The meme chat, but alcohol memes are banned still and the everything goes meme chat.
Kokomi: implying that there are even more group chats
Kayea: you don’t even know
Diona: I still will incase your organs in ice if anyone comes back drunk
Ganyu : The only thing we don’t have rules about is time when we all sleep.
None of really sleep in this dorm
Barbara: Are you guys okay?
Ayaka: No
Mika: But at least you always have someone to talk to
Diona: you never talk
Mika: :(
Diona : Don’t :( me
I’ve literally seen you scale a 10 meter high wall to avoid talking to someone outside before
Childe : Dully noted Cryo dorm rules are?
No Dank memes
Bed time is whenever
Murder is okay, and may be encouraged
Don’t talk
don’t mention alcohol in fear of facing diona’s wrath
All of your are really strong, so don’t anger anyone
Ganyu : there are a few other ones
i’ll link you to the google doc
Candace : THE
WHAT
Ganyu: Link: Rules for cyro dorm
Barbara: why is it 10 pages?!
Diona : because we aren’t allowed to have fun.
When the hydro dorm is rebuilt i’m moving in with them
They seem more fun, and I assume they all sleep.
Nilou : I’m sorry but that depends on the day
If you want to woken up by Ayato making charcoal pancakes at 4am, be my guest
Diona: Never mind i chose life
Ayato: :<
Ganyu: Will this be a problem?
Kokomi : depends
Just don’t let ayato near the kitchen unless it is to get something from the fridge
Layla: And you don’t have rules in your dorm because of???
Childe : We were only 4 people at the beginning of the year and Ayato has only ever caused like one fire
burnt many things
made many thing inedible
but only caused one fire
Ayato: :(
Nilou: we also don;t have dorm rules because I don;t think any of us would follow them.
Ayaka: aren’t you in hydro because of Justice?
Xingqiu: Justice for no rules <3
Diona: That sounds like Anemo
Mona : I believe its actually justice for the arts
for you guys it just is duality, which is kinda sad
‘The Element of tragic contradictions’ if you will
Childe : and Anemo is dead or lost friends aka therapy
Dendro is Wisdom and Dreams
Pyro is a war for passion or passing the torch
Layla: Electro is eternity??
Diona: Yeah something like that
Barbara: Anyway a few month ago we had some of the staff members in our dorm to check how we were doing and the condition the dorm was in
And they talked about how we didn’t follow the rules or something (like pyro doesn’t exist)
and said we should follow rules and stuff more strictly and tried to enforce more rules on us.
That ended after Ayato, Mona and I continued doing what we were doing (and not listening)
Yelan kept sneaking around
and Xingqiu, Kokomi and Childe started to plan a rebellion
Mona : I only follow the bare-minimum of dorm rules cause I’m broke and can’t afford it. Ayato and Barbara do it Cause don’t they care enough to break the rules but don’t follow them to a T either
Of course that all goes out the window if either wake up and decide to ‘have a little fun’
Shenhe: Whats that suppose to mean.
Mona: For barbara it’s disturbing the peace of the dorm with music at 6am and Ayato is cooking setting off the fire alarm at 5am
Shenhe: I see…
Chapter 10

Last chapter with the Cryo Characters, I think I COULD make a group chat fic with the Cryo character as I am only slightly less unwell about characters when ice themed then characters who are water theme.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
Ayato Renamed ‘Combined Dorm’ to ‘Slushie’
Ayato: I’m right
Ganyu: Ok
Just letting everyone know we do have a new person joining the dorm
Childe: 0v0
Ganyu: We already added her the other group chats and she’s been here for an hour
We didn’t want you causing chaos
Childe: It’s literally a welcome party???
It’s not just us being weird we bring cakes and food
we just like having fun
Candace: Yeah, I got a summoning circle but the food was good.
Ganyu: by all means you are welcome to throw a party are your dorm when you get new people but we don’t want a party
Or the mess
Diona: Another example on why I will be leaving the Cryo dorm and moving into literally any other dorm
you all are boring
Childe: Don’t be so cold :(
Don’t you want to be welcoming
Ayato: Cold
Heh
Diona: We aren’t allowed to have a good time here why do you think anyone here would be welcoming
Childe: Does anyone know when we can go back, I want to commit arson
Yelan: Should be a few more weeks
Barbara: :<
I miss my room
Ganyu: Please don’t commit arson
Kokomi: Childe, We can go commit arson in the forest down by the river.
Barbara: 🥳
Ayato: I think Kokomi and Barbara have a bad influence on each other
Xingqiu: I think childe
Nilou Mona? are you coming?
Mona: Sure
Nilou: Should I bring anything
Yelan: check other group chat
Nilou: Alright
Ganyu Added Charlotte
Ganyu: This is the temporary group chat we have with the hydro dorm
Charlotte: oh are those the people i saw leaving from my window
Ganyu: Yeah
They’ve gone and to commit arson
Diona: Campfire
Charlotte: what! arson?
Diona: Campfire
Ganyu: how do you know?
Diona: They told me
They planned it before since it’s the last nice weekend before the weather gets cold
Kayea: why weren’t we invited?
Diona: cause most of us wouldn’t go?
safe for you and maybe chongyun but only if xingqiu dragged him there
and he didn’t
I’m sure we would’ve been invited but ganyu doesn’t allow fun
Ayaka: :( I’ve never been to a campfire before
Nilou: Diona, Kayea and Ayaka are allowed to come
Childe: Charlotte you are also allowed to come if you want
Kayea: Is this just an after thought?
Childe: Yeah, but your allowed to come
Diona: I just said I wouldn’t go
Childe: you were complaining about no fun
Diona: Fine I’ll go
Notes:
Fontaine crew next chapter, I've decided that Egeria gets to be here I know she's dead and I don't care.
Furina is my favourite character.
Chapter 11: It returns(and disappears) *panic ensues*
Summary:
Fontaine Crew be upon thee!
Spider also returned (much to dismay of everyone)
Notes:
Here's a longer chapter as an apology for my absence. (it will happen again)
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Ayato
: Kokomi, I’m sorry for saying you were a bad influence on Barbara

Childe : Rude
Yelan
: yet it’s true?
Possibly the truest thing ever said.
Mona:
At least this week.
But I agree that Cryo dorm was stuffy
Xingqiu
: I got the vibe they wanted us gone
Childe:
that was because of you
Almost Exclusively because of you and Chongyun

Yelan:
You were so loud I heard you outside the dorm
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Geo dorm heard and they at the other side of campus
Xingqiu : 😛
Ayato : I will unleash Barbara on you again
Xingqiu
: She broke my nose last time.

Ayato
: I would
@Kokomi Give Barbara back her phone and tell her it’s okay to send Xingqiu flying
Kokomi : Will do
Barbara
: Do you want another broken nose?
Xingqiu
: No?
Barbara
: Then stop please. 🙂

Candace: aight
Candace added Neuviellette, Furina, Egeria and Siggewinne
Kokomi:
Hello
Don’t tick off barbara, Don’t let Ayato cook(please), Childe goes feral once a week, Yelan and I go missing occasionally, Mona is broke as hell, Xingqiu is well you’ll find out…
there is a spider somewhere in the dorm unless the fire has destroyed it (which is a good thing)
Yelan:
Neat…
Ayato i need you :/
Ayato:
????????
why
Yelan:
I_Found_It.png
light switch for scale
Kokomi:
😃
WHAT
Ayato: WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO?
Nilou: I refuse to believe that has been living in the dorm with us.
Childe:
I UNDERSTAND WTF
THAT IS NOT A SPIDER THATS SATAN HIM SELF
Xingqiu:
😟
Barbara: 😰
Mona:
I have
very bad news
for you guys
Thats not the spider
Kokomi:
😃
WHAT
Barbara: It was bigger than that
Nilou:
Okay, I don’t care if i’m murdered by Diona or Shenhe.
My ears will bleed in either this dorm or cryo I’m rejecting hydro and becoming ice
I’ll some how figure out how to be a tragic contradiction.
Yelan:
…
I have worse news
Ayato: 👁️👄👁️
Yelan: There is More than one
I see a nest on the ceiling
I’m trapped in the kitchen by like 10 spiders I require assistance
Barbara: Just hit them with water!
Xingqiu: it just made it run away last time
Barbara: 😖
Yelan: I’m not angering them
Mona: The spiders can have everything i own im not coming back until there all dead
Siggewinne: I have a gun :D
Childe: You’re gonna fit very well into this group
Siggewinne: 😊
Furina: shut up you nearly killed me
Yelan: Childe does that weekly get used to it
Furina: But I nearly died!
Childe:
you’re fine
Xingqiu is who you really want to worry about
Furina: why?
Childe:
well like Kokomi said
You’ll find out 😓
Yelan:
I have worse news
Nilou:
🫡
Ayato:
..
Yelan:
The largest spider ran away behind the kitchen cupboards
and I can’t move it…
But shining my phone light behind the cupboards I can see it and a larger spider.
Nilou: 🫡
Furina: 🫡
Barbara:
We are coming back with a vacuum and Bug killer.
Yelan:
THATS NOT GONNA HELP THERE TOO LARGE
EVEN WITH ONE CAN OF BUG KILLER IT ONLY MAKE THE SPIDER A BIT DIZZY
Furina:
😭
What?
Yelan : AND THE VACUUM WON’T BEABLE TO SUCK UP THE SPIDERS THERES TOO MANY
Childe:
😏
WAIT
wrong one
Mona:
childe what was the right one?
???????
Childe what the FUKC was the right one?
Childe:
😞
There right next to each other in in my emoji history
Kokomi: who? Are you sending both 😏 and 😞to?
Xingqiu:
It’s childe he’d send
😩
To anyone
Mona: ….
Xingqiu:
Wrong one as well but he would send
😫*
🥵*
🤤*
Mona: how do you mess up 4 times
Xingqiu:
🤪
This one 😏
Kokomi: I don’t think Xingqiu is 100% wrong with the former 4 emoji’s
Mona: You’re right
Barbara: Xingqiu did you use your emoji history to type that out?
Xingqiu:
yeah, you got a problem?
Barbara:
Holy water
If there wasn’t a NEST of spiders of kitchen right now
I’d go and boil the Hell out of water to make more holy water and Splash you with it
Kokomi:
and with that I will be taking Barbara’s phone away again
Barbara said she’s going to get pure spicy and put it in your water tonight
In other news we bought a flame thrower 😀
will spray the spiders with the bug spray and then will have a nice spider roast
😊
Yelan: It’s always the quite ones
Mona:
I think they both decided to try and one up our chaos by becoming the more violent ones
or we are rubbing off on them
Or kokomi has been around albedo too much recently
Furina: It gets worse?
Childe:
Barbara has broken Xingqiu nose, and has threatened him on multiple occasions at this point
all because Kokomi Said Xingqiu hair looked like Shit and then he made her cry
Ayato:
Far cry from the crimes everyone else has committed though so…
:D
Childe is apart of a criminal organization or something
Childe:
😭
It’s not it’s a theatre group
Ayato:
Then when do you perform?
Cause thats what you’ve told me before and you can never tell me what you do.
Thus the logical conclusion Probably crime or a cult.
Egeria: a brave thing to say when there is now 2.5 law students this chat?
Ayato: wdy 2.5
Furina: i’m the .5 or something because i’m only minoring in it
Mona:
Anyway
Barbara has a reason to threaten Xingqiu daily
Furina:
Is this?
because of the reason I’ll find out about
Kokomi:
yep
🙂
Candace:
Backreading
Ignoring Childe may be a criminal
Kokomi why do you have a flame thrower?
Kokomi: The Spiders need to burn thats why
Candace: are we going to be forced to become a tragic contradiction again after not even a day?
Kokomi:
it is a possibility
Try not to think on it too hard
K?
Candace:
So we don’t have more of a reason to not be trusted
How about we don’t?
Ayato: The spiders
Yelan: Come down here and see for yourself
Candace:
I believe you
But Isn’t there a better way to get rid of the spiders?
Without burning the dorm down
Furina:
???
Suggestion?
Candace: no i have nothing
Childe:
Yelan, catch a spider
Then will set it on fire and see if it’s even capable of being burned
Given they survived the first fire.
Furina: The First? Fire?
Yelan: If I lose my arm it’s your fault :(
- Sent at 3:27pm
—3:56pm—
Mona:
Well I can now check off my “before I die list”
Accidentally set a flaming spider lose on campus and discover some spiders are resistance to fire.
Before it explodes from the heat and send flaming bits of spider raining down
Furina: Personally I am glad that I live on the opposite side of the dorm.
Ayato: what do you think the spiders aren’t in our walls?
Furina: key words there is dry wall and I do not think the spiders can fit through the floor vents
Barbara:
You saw how big the spider was?
It could chew through the walls if it wanted
No floor vent needed
AND WE NEARLY ARMED THEM ALL WITH FIRE
Furina: 🫡
Mona:
If anyone needs me i’ll be at the cryo dorm.
I’ll come back when the spiders are gone.
Candace: so kokomi?
Kokomi: Yep
Candace:
Now that we’ve figured out that the spiders can’t be burned
What are you gonna do with the flame thrower?
Nilou: what were you gonna do with it after even if it worked
Kokomi:
idk
Defend the dorm?
Notes:
lmao I got nothing to say I was trying to get this posted before I left for a family function.
