hearing music

Summary:

Ah! You are here!
Is More More Jump safe or not?

Uh.

Or: Minori invites everyone to a group chat and immediately goes offline. Eventually it is uncovered that MORE MORE JUMP! might be in danger... a rapidly escalating one so to speak. One involving around urban legends about trains.

Notes:

does this remind you of a certain station? hearing music that no one was ever meant to hear?
(enable creator style, unless for mobile users it appears wonky — i attempted to get the same look as the Nightcord app excluding the profiles and nearly everything else, just the chat. Also if you have saw this fic before, I remastered the first chapter so it aligns well with what I want to do, sorry for such!)

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

Chapter 1: 65 bpm

Chapter Text

Ichika 今日 20:42

Eh?
Minori, why did you invite everyone here?
“20 minutes ago…”

Emu 今日 20:42

Ichika-chan!☆

Ichika 今日 20:42

Hello Otori-san!

Emu 今日 20:42

Wonderhoy!☆

Ichika 今日 20:42

Yeah
Wonderhoy!

Emu 今日 20:42

So
what seems to be the problem?
Oh wait oh

Ichika 今日 20:42

Well
that
Minori-chan just added everyone into this group for some reason
and then she… like
went without any further notice?

Emu 今日 20:43

Heh
that's
quite mysterious!
slightly concerning too!

Ichika 今日 20:43

I know it too, right, Otori-san?

Emu 今日 20:43

Where's Hinomori-senpai though?
I don't see her in the list

Ichika 今日 20:43

Wait
where is she?

Emu 今日 20:43

Do you think Hinomori-senpai wasn't added in due to her
not being familiar with smartphones that much?

Ichika 今日 20:43

Eh
probably.

Emu 今日 20:43

So what's all of this about?☆

Ichika 今日 20:43

I don't know either Otori-san, just as lost as you are

Emu 今日 20:44

what do you think about it right now then, Ichika-chan?

Ichika 今日 20:44

Maybe something about
Hold on
what if it's an emergency?

Emu 今日 20:44

Emergency?
About what, though?

Ichika 今日 20:44

Don't know
maybe just an emergency in general?

An 今日 20:44

Australian concert preperation?

Ichika 今日 20:44

Night, Shiraishi-san!
And what do you mean by an “Australian” concert?
Huh?

An 今日 20:44

Just said that out of my head
apologies!

Ichika 今日 20:44

Okay then ig…

Emu 今日 20:45

Hello?!
@Minori?

Ichika 今日 20:45

It seems off that Minori hasn't told any one of us about whatever this is yet
Why would she just
add everyone here and become inactive after that a few minutes later?

Emu 今日 20:45

@Minori
@Minori
@Minori
Hello? Minori-chan?
You there?
Earth to Minori-chan?

Ichika 今日 20:45

Mentioning her isn't going to work
Minori's probably not on her phone now at this point

Tsukasa 今日 20:45

GREETINGS!
IT IS I!
TENMA TSUKASA!

Ichika 今日 20:45

Yeah, hey Tsukasa-san.

An 今日 20:45

Yo! Tenma-senpai!

Emu 今日 20:45

TSUKASA-KUN!☆
THANK FOR THE PHEONIX WONDERSTAGE!
Can you help me with this one?
Emu is stumped about it

Tsukasa 今日 20:45

Sure can do!
Albeit, why was I invited to this group chat?

Ichika 今日 20:46

That's what we are trying to solve
Minori just added everyone and after that she went silent.

Tsukasa 今日 20:46

Hmmm…
You'd think that Hanasato wanted to do it like those group chat conversations?
Like you would get everyone in one discussion place
And then you watch as it turns into chaos?

Ichika 今日 20:46

I mean
plausible but there's not enough to back that up
We aren't that crazy.
Yet.

Emu 今日 20:46

If that's the case, Emu can start the chaos right now if you want too!☆

Ichika 今日 20:46

We have a case to solve, Otori-san, don't get carried away
We can hold off turning this group chat into a cursed pit until we found out why
Minori did this entire thing in the first place

An 今日 20:46

Maybe it was all for jokes?
Minori-chan maybe wanted to pull a prank?

Ichika 今日 20:46

I want that to be the case
But it seems unlikely the more she is silent and not answering anything

Tsukasa 今日 20:46

Hold on
I think I have something

Ichika 今日 20:46

?

Rui 今日 20:47

Salutations, everyone!
Is there a reason as of why I was invited to this group chat?

Tsukasa 今日 20:47

Ah!, Rui!
Welcome to the detectives agency, friend!

Rui 今日 20:47

Huh?

Tsukasa 今日 20:47

We are currently trying to solve on why one of our fellow friends at More More Jump!
decided to invite all of us here, before she went away like a magician's trick!

Emu 今日 20:46

Tsukasa-kun meant that Minori-chan
added all of us here before suddenly going inactive
plaguing all of our minds!!
OoOoOOoOooOo☆☆☆

Tsukasa 今日 20:47

Heh, nice translation.
Although I don't get on why you need to translate that.

Emu 今日 20:47

Not everyone knows your language of stage! Of course I had to do the honors!☆

Tsukasa 今日 20:47

Fair enough then.
Wait what do you mean by language of stage

Rui 今日 20:47

So Hanasato-kun added everyone we know of here before she went?

An 今日 20:48

Ehm
Yeah, that's what were guessing currently

Rui 今日 20:48

So what did Tsukasa Mr. Tenma wanted to say before I graciously interrupted it?

Tsukasa 今日 20:48

Had nobody noticed the group chat name, yet?

An 今日 20:48

Oh

Ichika 今日 20:48

I completely forgot that existed…

Emu 今日 20:48

Did you have the group chat name collapsed, Ichika-chan?

Ichika 今日 20:48

It's collapsed on default settings
I didn't knew what it said beforehand until Tsukasa-san pointed it out

Emu 今日 20:48

Well to be fair
logical conclusion, I guess!
Developers can get really coocoo crazy when it comes to their design!

Akito 今日 20:48

Ah
What's the purpose of this about?

An 今日 20:48

Akito!
We don't know either!

Akito 今日 20:48

Is this a prank?

An 今日 20:49

Something seems like it, but Minori-chan hasn't ever attempted something like this

Akito 今日 20:49

Strange

Tsukasa 今日 20:49

Akito! Can you do a check on Ena, please?

Akito 今日 20:49

She's fine
just in her SEKAI with her friends
That's why she's active in Nightcord but not present with us currently

Tsukasa 今日 20:49

Alright, we can scratch Niigo being gone off the list.

An 今日 20:49

This feels quite… odd?
The fact that literally all 19 of us are on the same group chat together
Kind of makes me happy! Wonder why we haven't attempted something like this before

Emu 今日 20:50

It also makes EMU HAPPY!
WONDERHOY!
But we shouldn't let that get away from our current problem here!

Ichika 今日 20:50

Yeah, despite the fact this might be the first time everyone was really together
we still haven't really so
oh my actual
wait
i forgot to read the group name

Emu 今日 20:50

Yeah!
Why does it say “SOS”?

Akito 今日 20:50

SOS?
Is Hanasato in danger?

Tsukasa 今日 20:50

Hm. That's even more strange.
Oh yeah, just incase we do a check on everyone
I believe Nene is off on homework problems for the Wonderlands X Showtime side, Saki is just…
doing Saki things
Hanasato, Kiratani, and Momoi Airi all aren't active however since we were here
Every other group has an active member (or s) currently

Akito 今日 20:50

that screams something is wrong though
the MMJ part

An 今日 20:50

Your right!
More More Jump! are the only peeps not here!
Well
Wait, @Ichika can you call Shiho real quick?
“More More Jump are the only peeps that are not here”
I think that might be a sign or something

Ichika 今日 20:50

Eh?
Shiho?
I'll go call her now

Akito 今日 20:50

Anyone have the rest of their numbers besides Hinomori-san?
I don't

An 今日 20:50

I don't either
And Shizuku-san probably won't even call the phone even if I had her number

Tsukasa 今日 20:50

Same for me

Emu 今日 20:51

Not on my end either!
Hm
Why does it feel like what I think it is going to be…?

Ichika 今日 20:51

Let's not think it's actually what you are thinking, and instead be optimistic
This won't turn into a…
Missing persons case.

Tsukasa 今日 20:51

Having SOS on the group chat name?
The fact she just went away without warning?
Not even any MMJ members are active on Nightcord

Ichika 今日 20:51

Let's not think that's the case
Until I phone call Shiho
She absolutely knows where More More Jump! went

Emu 今日 20:52

Do you all want to consult Miku-chan on this?
She might have something we can do to alleviate it!

Rui 今日 20:52

When the stars and planets align, Emu-kun
We still don't know if it's actually doomsday or not
Besides, maybe this could just be some error on behalf of More More Jump!'s end?

Emu 今日 20:52

Hopefully it is!

Tsukasa 今日 20:56

@Ichika?
Did she respond?

Shiho 今日 20:57

Hey

Tsukasa 今日 20:57

Ah! You are here!
So is More More Jump safe or no?

Shiho 今日 20:57

Uh.

Ichika 今日 20:57

Yeah…
Welp.

Tsukasa 今日 20:57

?
Wait…

Emu 今日 20:57

Eh?!
No
way, you…

An 今日 20:57

Don't tell me, Hinomori-san
It's…

Akito 今日 20:57

Oh crap, it's actually happening.

Rui 今日 20:57

Oh no was it
Oh dear.

Ichika 今日 20:57

Yep.
Shizuku
is nowhere to be found.

Shiho 今日 20:58

I was wondering on why Onee-chan was late
Then it turned longer
and then nighttime began to bloom
none of the More More Jump! members were picking up my calls

Tsukasa 今日 20:58

Oh. That's
not good.

Shiho 今日 20:58

I have called them multiple times
None of them answered.

Emu 今日 20:58

MMJ IS ACTUALLY MISSING?!

Shiho 今日 20:58

They aren't missing
but
it feels like it
I don't like to think they are missing.

Tsukasa 今日 20:58

Do you remember the events leading up to this point?

Shiho 今日 20:58

I do
I know that they were going on a little train trip, Onee-chan told me in the morning earlier
After that Minori said to me on behalf of Onee-chan that they were going to be later than usual during the early afternoon
For practice i think

Rui 今日 20:58

Afterwards?

Shiho 今日 20:58

That's where it stopped.
Onee-chan was supposed to come home by around 18:30-ish
but she isn't here yet.

Rui 今日 20:58

Train trip…

Shiho 今日 20:59

They were heading out of Tokyo today
to Kanagawa if I remembered correctly
Don't know if it's the prefecture or the city
After that, they would take the train again
back to Tokyo

An 今日 20:59

Was the train a Shinkansen or a normal train?

Shiho 今日 20:59

Normal railway.
I think Minori didn't like how fast Shinkansen trains usually go according to Onee-chan
like
she was absolutely terrified of the thought of riding a Shinkansen train.

An 今日 20:59

That's…
So Minori-chan.

Ichika 今日 20:59

So where do you think they are now, Shiho?

An 今日 20:59

Eh?
I thought Hinomori-san already told you everything.

Ichika 今日 20:59

She was late by like a few minutes
Once I told her about the news she decided to end the call and message it here instead
so everyone knows about the news.

An 今日 20:59

Ah, clever enough.

Shiho 今日 21:00

I believe they were supposed to be on the train like 3 hours earlier
But…
I haven't heard from them after Minori messaged me.

Tsukasa 今日 21:00

That…
is absolutely not great.

Rui 今日 21:00

Quite obvious suspicion, Tsukasa-kun.

Emu 今日 21:00

Oh dear
What are we going to do now?
Emu isn't liking this outcome.

Shiho 今日 21:00

Get everyone else here.
We need to make a plan.
If they are
missing missing
I hate that word so much
then we need to commence preparations just in case.

Rui 今日 21:00

Report to the police?
Seems the most obvious solution here

Shiho 今日 21:00

That's what I'm going to do
If Onee-chan hasn't arrived by 2 hours from now
We report them 4 to the police

Akito 今日 21:01

You are going to be the one to call them then?

Shiho 今日 21:01

Yes.
I'm the closest enough to More More Jump! after all.

Emu 今日 21:01

I thought I was!
Wait, why the wait for 2 hours, though?

Shiho 今日 21:01

I don't want to report a missing persons case during the time Onee-chan came home
What if I report to them now to the nearest station and Onee-chan arrives to my house by then?
Gonna be a little awkward for me and everyone else…

An 今日 21:01

Understandable.
It feels weird to wait a few hours though
They can be in danger right now

Akito 今日 21:01

The SOS part really ain't helping that much too

Shiho 今日 21:01

Look
I
I'm just as worried as everyone is here
I just need to make sure first
I dont want an awkward conversation and a potential barring from ever reporting again…

An 今日 21:01

Eh, fine
But it still feels off to wait
Like
They could be actually in genuine danger right now

Shiho 今日 21:01

Please stop saying things like that, Shiraishi-san.
It makes me even more worried.

An 今日 21:01

Alright, gotcha
Sorry, Hinomori-san.

Tsukasa 今日 21:01

So
Wait
What about calling MMJ's parents?

Shiho 今日 21:01

My mom and dad are also worried.
We all three plan on going to the police if the time is up.

Emu 今日 21:01

I'm
Emu is wondering on why everyone is so calm like this.

Ichika 今日 21:01

Otori-san
Panicking won't work at all
we need to be calm and collected
and think of a positive side or any options possible until we've exhausted all of them.

Emu 今日 21:01

Oh
Oh that's why
Silly Emu, me!

Akito 今日 21:02

I've checked up on Toya and Kohane, they are both okay and safe

Emu 今日 21:02

What about Nene-chan?

Nene 今日 21:02

Homework
I'll help all of you once I'm done with it
I just need to focus on this first

Emu 今日 21:02

I just forgot that you were doing homework
Eheheh…
Let's forget about that for a second or so!

Akito 今日 21:02

Nightcord is fine too, Niigo, whatever
I think they are almost done talking about whatever they were

Tsukasa 今日 21:02

How do you know so?

Akito 今日 21:02

I made it up actually
BUT
I THINK
they will be done in a minute or two

Tsukasa 今日 21:03

Do you think Akiyama would be
rather devastated upon hearing about it?

Akito 今日 21:03

She won't
Until we explain it to her that is

Rui 今日 21:03

She would 100% figure it out by then though, no explanation needed
She lurks at times after all
Probably

Rui 今日 21:03

Soooo
The plan right now is to wait until 23:00 passes if they don't arrive by then?

An 今日 21:03

Yeah

Shiho 今日 21:03

I'd suggest everyone right now to start preparing if the worst happens
Can you all do a favor with me and not go offline though when it hits?
If the worst of the worst happens, we need to be quick and prepared for any problems that would arise

An 今日 21:03

It's pretty important to see our friends being gone right now,
I'll stay up.

Emu 今日 21:03

Wonderlands X Showtime also agrees!

Tsukasa 今日 21:03

No objections here nor Rui this time, I will be up just in case.

Emu 今日 21:03

Wait Rui-kun objected to my ideas before?

Rui 今日 21:03

Don't recall one
or maybe time traveling shenanigans made that reality?

An 今日 21:04

Wait
HUH
Time travel?
THAT WASN'T A DREAM O MINE?
I SWORE THT OTHER “ME” WAS JUST SOME FEVR DREM
HHHHHHH!?!??!

Rui 今日 21:04

Errr
it was a joke!

Tsukasa 今日 21:04

I forgot that happened

Rui 今日 21:04

Because it didn't happen!
Shiriashi-kun?

Akito 今日 21:04

Guess we are playing the waiting game now
See you all later
I'm hoping that this mess gets averted today

Tsukasa 今日 21:04

I hope too, Akito

Rui 今日 21:04

Tsukasa-kun, what are you doing?

Tsukasa 今日 21:04

?
Nothing?

Rui 今日 21:04

Eh

Akito 今日 21:04

What if we do… “If you don't reply by 23:00 you love eachother” sort of thing?

An 今日 21:05

Maybe we shouldn't do that.

Shiho 今日 21:05

Do you really think Kiratani and Minori-chan's relationship is… actually platonic?

Akito 今日 21:05

Well
No...?

Ichika 今日 21:05

Let's not dive in into that territory.
Anywho, see all of you by then.

Amia 今日 21:26

WAIT
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH?!
HUH
HUH
HUH
HUH

Enanan 今日 21:26

Amia, what are you panicking about?

Amia 今日 21:26

MMJ IS MISSING?!

Enanan 今日 21:26

Eh?
What?!

K 今日 21:26

They are?

Amia 今日 21:26

READ EVERYTHING HERE
MMJ IS MISSING.

Enanan 今日 21:26

This isn't a joke?

Amia 今日 21:26

THE GROUP NAME IS CALLED SOS
IT ISNT
CHECK SHIHO-CHAN'S MESSAGES
SEARCH BY HER MESSAGES

Enanan 今日 21:26

That's
oh that might not actually be good.

Amia 今日 21:27

I'M SORRY FOR NOT TYPING EARLIER I GOT COOLDOWN

Enanan 今日 21:27

Why are you saying sorry to that?
That isn't required

Amia 今日 21:27

I'm just
Girl
More More Jump! are missing
Four pivotal members just gone like the wind?
That
That's scaring me out

Enanan 今日 21:27

I know from personal experience too.
Just stay calm, Amia
It isn't those times anymore.

Amia 今日 21:27

Eh
shut up Enanan, we don't need to go further on that

Enanan 今日 21:27

Kay kay!

K 今日 21:27

?
Oh
Nevermind

Enanan 今日 21:27

So, what are we going to do?

Amia 今日 21:27

Do you all want to stay up today?

Enanan 今日 21:27

That's not even a question, Amia
We are called 25:00 for a reason

Rui 今日 21:28

Ah
Niigo finally woke up?
Speaking of that, where's Asahina-san?

Enanan 今日 21:27

Maf
Yuki is at K's house right now
I'll go tell K to notify Yuki too.

K 今日 21:27

So here?

Amia 今日 21:27

Hehe, Ena
Everyone knows our real names now, no need to cut the username thing

Enanan 今日 21:28

Eh
wait your correct actually
but still shut up, Yuki

Amia 今日 21:27

Ehehe! Wrong person, Enanan!

Enanan 今日 21:27

Shi
I mean
Screw you, Amia

K 今日 21:27

I'm too busy with personal things right now
Can you tell me what's the big picture right now
Amia? Or Enanan?

Amia 今日 21:28

Minori-chan made a group chat and added all of us
she then named it SOS and then became inactive
Shiho-chan told everyone that More More Jump were going out of the city today
but More More Jump haven't went home yet.

Enanan 今日 21:28

Good grammar, amia

Amia 今日 21:28

It's online text
I say whatever I want, Enanan

K 今日 21:28

I see
I'll tell Yuki after this

Amia 今日 21:28

Hopes up for a MMJ comeback!
K, do NOT doompost!

K 今日 21:28

?
What's a doompost?

Amia 今日 21:28

Oh
Oh right I forgot you aren't in-depth on that lingo yet
Doomposting is like
Trying to comment on the internet with negative outcomes in lieu of the positives?

K 今日 21:28

Hm
I see.

Rui 今日 21:34

Sooo
anyone want to lighten up the mood?
No?

Notes:

(i plan on deleting this note by the way once chapter 2 releases)
19/3/25 edit:
ty for the support btw!! (and the totally notso threatening messages!!) — for future plans currently, I plan on finishing hearing music before I go on other projects; and I have also begun writing the majority for the next chapters because I realized that pantsing is not the greatest way to tell a story (there's like a few plotholes and details in the revised chapter 1 that makes me angy), so yeah, see you soon!!

special credits to the project sekai wiki for all of the event transcripts, character dialogue, and character honorifics that i used as reference to make this fic more grounded and what YOU THINK they would actually do in this situation instead of like emu going insane or smth idk — it was hell putting the list of everyone's honorifics into one spreadsheet for organizational purposes but it was worth it nonetheless!

12/05/2025 edit: chat
please
i will finish this :sob:

11/07/2025 edit:
I PROMISE. I'M IN A WRITER'S BLOCK I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO END THIS AAA
