Wednesday, August 21st - 4:46 pm
Kirby: OMG!!! MARCO BERTIE ANNIE HI HI HI HI HI!!!! HELLO! HI! BI HELLO EHI
M.bodt: oh my goodness.
Hello, Sasha! I didn’t think our arrivals would be such a big deal.
Mysterious wlw: tsk tsk tsk look who finally decided to show up
You three
HooverDam: it’s not exactly our fault our parents are extremely strict
I swear I wanted discord so bad but I was afraid of what would happen if my parents found out I was using it behind their backs
🙁
Buff guy: look what you did Ymir, you made him upset
Mysterious wlw: oh boo hoo
He’ll get over it
Right Bertie?
HooverDam: no
🙁
Leonhart: I had no intention of using this crap. I saw it to be a waste of my time.
For some reason, I have to use it now. So.
M.bodt: wait, you can italicize your words?
Leonhart: yeah
M.bodt: how?
Leonhart: an asterisk at the beginning and end of each word. Two asterisks for bold. Three for bold and italics
M.bodt: thank you Annie!
Leonhart: it’s the least I can do after leaving you for dead
M.bodt: I’m sorry?
Leonhart: nothing. Just another one of my odd dreams again
Buff guy: you’ve been having a lot of those lately. Are you sure ur good?
Leonhart: yes. I just have a creative mind
HooverDam: “a creative mind” she says as she dreams about us all dying and/or murdering each other to an insane degree…
Leonhart: my recent dream was Reiner, Bertholdt, and I leaving Marco for dead in the mouth of a giant human
M.bodt: oh!
Wow!
That’s!
That is certainly something alright!
Leonhart: if it’s any consolation, I’ve dreamt of Eren committing mass genocide on multiple occasions
M.bodt: that makes me feel worse, actually!
Stallion: the genocide one seems like a premonition w/ the way eren acts like a fucking psychopath
Edgy ass: hey man go fuck yourself
Stallion: just saying man
No need to get all angry
Also hi Marco welcome to hell
M.bodt: hello, Jean!
Although, you could’ve just said hello to me in real life considering I’m literally on the other side of the room.
Stallion: where’s the fun in that?
M.bodt: human interaction is much more sufficient than technological.
Stallion: nerd
M.bodt: I’m deleting this app.
Stallion: no please I take it back ur my only hope in this hellscape
M.bodt: how romantic.
:|
Crispy boy: yknow @Leonhart you should probably keep a log of your dreams
They’re very interesting
It’d make for a good anime or something like that
M.bodt: yes, because me getting left for dead to be eaten by a giant human is “good television”.
Leonhart: my dreams are influenced by darker media. That’d be plagiarism
Mysterious wlw: lowkey fart jizz facts
Leonhart: be quiet.
Mysterious wlw: I’m sorry.
Springtrap: @M.bodt @HooverDam @Leonhart
Ahem

Springtrap: I mean my family was mean sometimes they lowkey bullied me
Mikasa: my parents were almost murdered right in front of me.
Springtrap: how the fuck do you expect me to compete with that
Stallion: my dad checked in every now and then but didn’t really care about me check
Freckles: I have extremely religious parents who don’t respect me for who I am and often send me religious quotes hoping it will “save” me from my “mental illnesses”.
Crispy boy: my parents randomly disappeared

Buff guy: right
Mysterious wlw: been to and fro the foster care system. Almost got roped into a cult. Too old for foster care now

Crispy boy: we’re scaring away the noobs
Too much trauma dumping and it hasn’t even been a day
Freckles: yes, because I’m very scared right now? Somehow?
I don’t see why you feel the need to speak for the three of us. We’re not scared of your antics. This is just another thing we cannot escape.
Stallion: I’m sorry bro

────────────────
After Bertholdt turned off his phone with a gentle ‘click’ following the motion, he placed his device screen-first on the dresser and sank into his mattress. The mattress squeaked under his weight, and the bedsheets shifted with each and every turn of a mere lanky limb.
He twisted and turned, trying to get comfortable. But most nights, he didn’t see the point in trying to indulge in a picturesque slumbering position. He knew he was going to wake up with his neck contorted at an angle that shouldn’t be humanly possible without major injury to vital parts of the body and his legs five inches away from landing on the moon. But tonight, he could indulge.
It wasn’t like he was going to sleep much anyway, the anxiety was clawing at his insides until they became chopped liver and plunged into his stomach acid like a bunch of soggy little meat cubes.
With a stereotypical sleepy sigh, he weaseled under the sheets. Not even bothering to close his eyes.
He simply stared up at the ceiling.
And stared.
And stared.
He grasped the blanket draped over his body—his feet peeking out from the cloth because he’d rather have his torso be warm than his toes. He tried to listen in on the world. But it was quiet. No noise. Not even the distant chatter of Jean and Marco from beyond the walls; ‘they must’ve fallen asleep already’, Bertholdt thought. ‘If only it were that easy.’
He didn’t know how much time had passed. Perhaps it was an hour. Perhaps it was nothing at all. But he heard a grumble from across the room, followed by rustling bed sheets and a mattress squeak that could rival the masses.
“Bert. You good?” Reiner asked. His voice still gruff with sleep.
Bertholdt nodded; still feeling horrendously guilty for waking him up under all the blank expressions. He’d left the room in the middle of the night, after all. “I’m alright. Just…” he trailed off. “I’m- nervous. I’m nervous.” He reassured. More-so himself over Reiner.
“… if you say so.” Clearly too tired to question or pester, Reiner sank back into bed—grabbing his blanket and draping it over himself.
And then. The room went quiet again.
Bertholdt melted back into his own bed, looking up at the ceiling gently illuminated by the moonlight sky peeking in through the gentle fabric of the curtains.
With a sigh, he tried to close his eyes.
“So what was that thing you deleted in the chat…?”
“Haha I don’t know what you’retalkingaboutReinerI’m asleep.”
“…”
Reiner blinked.
“… what?”
