Notes:

firstly, yes, i know the games happen in 2027/2028, please let me live and use memes from 2016

secondly, i got the idea for this from this fic http://archiveofourown.org/works/8691349/chapters/19925938

Chapter Text

junpuns: hey akane, i have an idea

Kanny ^~^: is this going to be as bad as the time you tried to make that stupid elevator joke

junpuns: a) no

junpuns: b) that was funny and also partially your fault leave me alone

Kanny ^~^: if you say so

junpuns: anyway, you know how we have a bunch of chats with other people?

junpuns: well, we should make a group chat with everyone!

Kanny ^~^: that is the worst idea i've ever heard

junpuns: okay i know a lot of the nevada game people kind of hate you but come onnnn

junpuns: would be easier than messaging people individually every time you want to have a party

Kanny ^~^: jumpy i really don't think this is a good idea

junpuns: well that is just Too Bad

Kanny ^~^: i swear to god

 

junpuns added Kanny ^~^, Σ, ~*~pink princess~*~, h.kashiwabara, 500 snakes in a trenchcoat, Seven, pretty fly for a bi guy, CarlosAndalucia, Mom Friend™,  Eric~, Sean!, and golden girl to the conversation

junpuns renamed the conversation to schrödinger's chat

 

pretty fly for a bi guy: junpei i swear to fucking god im going to murder you when i next see you in person

junpuns: that's a pretty empty threat considering i've died at least 10 times

~*~pink princess~*~: omgggg i cant believe you two are threatening to kill each other again

~*~pink princess~*~: its almost like old times!

CarlosAndalucia: who the hell are all these people, junpei??

CarlosAndalucia: i only recognize about half of them

junpuns: relax

junpuns: you'll figure it out eventually

Mom Friend™: I recognize Sigma, Akane, Carlos

Mom Friend™: Eric, and Sean

golden girl: wow mom i cant believe you didnt even recognize your own daughter

pretty fly for a bi guy: holy fuck

pretty fly for a bi guy: i dont even know who you are but that was a high quality burn

Σ: oooh boy diana you just got Roasted(tm)

golden girl: name's phi, junpei knows me from the decision game

golden girl: sigma and diana are my parents apparently

golden girl: due to some really bad decisions and the ability to time travel

Kanny ^~^: can we please stop talking about getting burned and roasted

500 snakes in a trenchcoat: Can you all stop talking so fast? My text-to-speech app is having trouble keeping up.

h.kashiwabara: Junpei why did you add me to this

Seven: I second the question

pretty fly for a bi guy: jesus everyones trying to talk so fast can we pause and actually introduce ourselves

junpuns: i need no introduction, i'm sure all of you know who i am

Kanny ^~^: yeah, likewise

pretty fly for a bi guy: im aoi. akanes my little sister

pretty fly for a bi guy: in both senses of the word

Σ: wait holy crap your parents named you red and blue???

Σ: and i thought my parents were ridiculous

golden girl: YOU NAMED ME PHI

Mom Friend™: We thought we were naming you after the person we knew!

pretty fly for a bi guy: first of all sigma (? i'm assuming. akane's mentioned you before) no we arent named red and blue im named after a plant

pretty fly for a bi guy: secondly christ akane you didnt tell me that phi was sigmas kid. or that she was named after -herself-

Kanny ^~^: i didn't know that either at the time!

Σ: guess i'll go next. and yeah aoi (lmao plant man) i'm sigma, genius work figuring that out from my username

Σ: phi's golden girl and the most ungrateful daughter to ever live

Σ: Mom Friend is diana she's my gf

Mom Friend™: Thank you for doing that so that I didn't have to, Sigma.

pretty fly for a bi guy: call me plant man one more time i dare you

500 snakes in a trench coat: I'm Light Field, though I'll also accept Snake. I was in the Second Nonary Game along with my younger sister Clover, who seems to be going by tilde asterisk tilde pink princess tilde asterisk tilde.

500 snakes in a trench coat: Also, I'm blind, so excuse me if it takes a bit longer to respond than it apparently does for the rest of you.

Σ: "tilde asterisk tilde pink princess tilde asterisk tilde"

~*~pink princess~*~: bro omg it looks so much better than that typed out

500 snakes in a trench coat: I'm sure, but, unfortunately, I can't see anything.

h.kashiwabara: Im Hazuki, though Junpei keeps calling me Lotus anyway for some reason. I was in the 2nd nonary game 2

golden girl: do you always type like a middle aged woman

h.kashiwabara: I am a middle aged woman how dare you!

Seven: Hazuki, please calm down

Seven: Seven's all you need to know about me, I'm a detective so I'd rather keep it on the down low what my real name is

CarlosAndalucia: wait are you that guy who junpei broke into the free the soul headquarters with?

Seven: That would be me yes

junpuns: that was rad as hell actually

pretty fly for a bi guy: who says rad in 2029

junpuns: i will actually fight you right now let's go

Kanny ^~^: jumpy why did you do this? this was such a bad idea

~*~pink princess~*~: honestly i think it was a great idea!!! it's been so long since we all talked to each other

CarlosAndalucia: that's nice but can i introduce myself

pretty fly for a bi guy: going off of your name i'm guessing youre that guy carlos who junpei wont shut up about

junpuns: AOI I AM GOING TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE

pretty fly for a bi guy: we're literally in the same house right now come upstairs

CarlosAndalucia: i'm flattered junpei

CarlosAndalucia: didn't know you liked me so much

junpuns: @aoi i will later, mark my words, and carlos i swear to god i mean that in a "you're such a good friend" way

CarlosAndalucia: anyway, yeah, i'm carlos. i was at dcom with junpei and akane, i'm a firefighter so if i'm randomly awake at 4 AM, that's why

CarlosAndalucia: i'm kidding, i know that

~*~pink princess~*~: that's everyone right??

Σ: yeah, i think so

Σ: minus eric and sean, but that's not that surprising in all honesty

500 snakes in a trench coat: This is going to be a challenging group chat to keep up with, I can already tell.

pretty fly for a bi guy: i can take you off if you want

500 snakes in a trench coat: No, it'll do. I'm honestly flattered that you want to introduce me to all your friends, June Pay.

junpuns: oh lord it doesn't recognize my name

junpuns: light you should probably just tell it individual letters your text-to-speech isn't responding properly at all

junpuns: that's a thing you can do, right?

~*~pink princess~*~: surprisingly no this text to speech app just ends up spacing it so it would read like j u n p e i

junpuns: i'd prefer that over "June Pay"

Σ: idk i have absolutely no idea how his screen reader is going to read my chat name

h.kashiwabara: Can someone please tell me how 2 mute this chat

Seven: I would but I would rather you see everything these numbskulls have to say

junpuns: don't call my friends numbskulls

CarlosAndalucia: junpei chill it's a term of endearment

500 snakes in a trench coat: If you could, please spell that like n u m skulls. It reads out the whole word otherwise.

pretty fly for a bi guy: light your screen reader doesnt even do that ive heard it from the other room

golden girl: jesus christ

golden girl: i can already tell this is going to be a nightmare

Chapter 2: in which junpei and akane publicly argue about their netflix queue

Notes:

i wrote this whole chapter on an airplane with just my phone and a notetaking app, my thumbs are dead, please help me,

also there is Minor nsfw in this chapter, it's not Explicit or anything but it's pretty well implied, it happens in the private chat part w junpei and akane if you want to skip over it

Chapter Text

junpuns: hey guys, can someone help me

~*~pink princess~*~: what's up??

junpuns: someone please tell akane to stop filling our netflix queue with conspiracy theory documentaries

too fly for a bi guy: do it yourself asshole

too fly for a bi guy: youre the one whos at home

junpuns: see, i would, but then she would just stare me dead in the eye and go "they're real, jumpy"

~*~pink princess~*~: thats rough bro

CarlosAndalucia: junpei just tell her? it can't suck that much

junpuns: why are you on her side? the last time you two disagreed she went after you with a chainsaw

pretty fly for a bi guy: wait wtf akane did that

pretty fly for a bi guy: that seems both wildly out of character and hilarious

CarlosAndalucia: let me tell you, it was way less hilarious in the moment

CarlosAndalucia: that said, junpei, seriously, just talk to her, she is your fiancee

junpuns: but what if she just goes silent on me

~*~pink princess~*~: junpei omg she trapped you in a death game???? and this is what you're concerned about???

junpuns: heck off clover we've made peace with the death game thing

junpuns: besides you were there too

golden girl: how did I become surrounded by weird hetero morphogenetic field soul mates

junpuns: first of all I'm bi not straight

CarlosAndalucia: oh thank god

junpuns: secondly phi i didn't even know you were here this whole time

golden girl: lurking is what i do best

junpuns: thirdly, carlos w h a t

CarlosAndalucia: nvm

junpuns: don't nvm now you jerk what do you even m e a n

CarlosAndalucia: i said nvm

golden girl: *magic school bus voice* CARLOOOS

golden girl: im just doing that so junpei doesnt have to

-

golden girl: and both of you have disappeared. Fantastic

junpuns: no I'm still here, i don't know where carlos went though

h.kashiwabara: Junpei as someone who has been married just don't question it let June have her fun

junpuns: or aoi, for that matter

h.kashiwabara: Akane* sorry still not used to that

junpuns: lotus that is a terrible idea, because now I can't find anything I actually want to watch on netflix

junpuns: it's just full of crap like "search for bigfoot" and "kennedy: alien or man?"

~*~pink princess~*~: that second one actually sounds good tbh.......

golden girl: seconded it sounds hilarious

junpuns: i hate both of you

golden girl: seriously though i know im the fourth person to say it but just tell her it annoys you

Kanny ^~^: yeah, jumpy, just tell me

junpuns: shit

 

junpuns has left the conversation.

 

golden girl: i dont think so

 

golden girl has added junpuns to the conversation

 

junpuns: phi, let me live

golden girl: for someone who's died around twenty times that sure is a bold request

junpuns: don't give me that you've died at least that much too

pretty fly for a bi guy: alright im breaking from doing stocks whatd i miss

Kanny ^~^: me

pretty fly for a bi guy: o shit junpei whatve you done now

junpuns: made the worst mistake of my life, apparently

junpuns: but honestly akane the constant conspiracy theory talk gets so oooold

junpuns: all of it's fake anyway

Kanny ^~^: conspiracy theories are REal jumpy. maybe not the lizard people ones those are all antisemitic but. Bigfoot? Real

junpuns: look what I have to deal with, folks

~*~pink princess~*~: tbh im w akane on this one bigfoot is incredibly real

junpuns: NOT YOU TOO

golden girl: of all the conspiracy theories I gotta admit that bigfoot is the realest

CarlosAndalucia: i'm back and what the hell, guys

CarlosAndalucia: obviously nessie is the realest cryptid

junpuns: i'm holding my head in my hands how do you people believe this crap

~*~pink princess~*~: says the guy who solved a sudoku puzzle for his gf 9 years in the past lol

junpuns: shut the hell up clover I don't need this right now

junpuns: kanny for the love of God take all the cryptid documentaries out of the queue

junpuns: i don't even care if you watch them but it's making it hell to find anything else I wanna watch

Kanny ^~^: i could say that of all those goddamn gundam shows you watch

junpuns: that's different they're clearly made up

golden girl: this is such a funny conversation oh my god

junpuns: also carlos watches them with me

CarlosAndalucia: i refuse to be brought up as a point of contention in you and akane's arguments

Kanny ^~^: jumpy private chat now

~*~pink princess~*~: OMG IT JUST GOT REAL

-

Private conversation between junpuns and Kanny ^_^

Kanny ^~^: i'll take my queue out if you eat me out later

junpuns: kanny that's extortion

Kanny ^~^: technically it's blackmail

junpuns: now is not the time to be arguing about this

Kanny ^~^: i'll throw in a handjob if u want ;)

pretty fly for a bi guy: you dont wanna know

 

-

 

IceCream: What is this

golden girl: a mistake

Notes:

*thumbs up emoji*

sigma and diana didn't show up in this chapter bc i couldn't figure out how to get a sigma sign or a (tm) to appear in the notetaking app, that's the only reason, they'll be back for sure though

i will make an effort to have at least-once-weekly updates but College so no guarantees

im eventually going to figure out how to get rid of the text box below but now is not that time

Chapter 3: too much salt

Summary:

there is discourse about pickles. also sean shows up finally

Notes:

sorry i havent updated this in forever, bad brain times and also college happened. im on summer break so it might be a bit more regular again but chapter ideas don't come to me regularly so don't expect much from me.

based on true events in the ze discord

junpuns - junpei
Kanny ^~^ - akane
Σ - sigma
~*~pink princess~*~ - clover
h.kashiwabara - lotus

junpuns: bad post op

junpuns: @clover drop the jar on the ground that'll open it

~*~pink princess~*~: any other suggestions from anyone who isnt junpei

Sean!: Brute force. This technique simply requires you to use your manly strength to twist open the jar lid.

~*~pink princess~*~: quick question

~*~pink princess~*~: who is sean

junpuns: sean holy shit is that you

pretty fly for a bi guy: wh

pretty fly for a bi guy: who*

Sean!: Yes! Hello! Sigma managed to connect my central processing to his local server, so I should come by occasionally!

Sean!: I will usually be online when he isn't, since the server is set to turn off when there's any voluntary input.

pretty fly for a bi guy: a) sigma this is cool as shit

pretty fly for a bi guy: b) this is going to get so out of hand later

pretty fly for a bi guy: c) sean are you connected to google

junpuns: turn him into google bot and I will fight you

Sean!: Yes, I am!

pretty fly for a bi guy: can you google “how to get clover to go the fuck to sleep”

pretty fly for a bi guy: with quotes

~*~pink princess~*~: aoiiiiiiii

Sean!: Go the F*** to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world.

pretty fly for a bi guy: sean cancel search

junpuns: o h my god

h.kashiwabara: I know im supremely late to this conversation but pickles are absolutely fantastic. Clover I applaud you it might have been 3 am but I wouldnt have made it through motherhood without pickle jars

pretty fly for a bi guy: first of all, pickles aren't that great, hazuki

pretty fly for a bi guy: secondly, what the fUCK do you mean you raised nona and ennea on pickles

golden girl: pickles are goddamn disgusting

junpuns: please god let us stop before we get into pickle discourse

Kanny ^~^: pickles are edible, that's my god-given opinion

CarlosAndalucia: ….....god-given?

CarlosAndalucia: also, gotta agree with hazuki here, pickles are pretty great

Kanny ^~^: god-given as in I gave it to myself

Σ: i can't believe i'm waking up to this garbage, pickles can burn in hell

Σ: well, not burn, i guess, since they're like half water at least, but

junpuns: pickles are kinda blegh tbh

junpuns: akane for the last time stop calling yourself god

500 snakes in a trenchcoat: Pickles are absolutely horrendous and I, for one, cannot believe my sister is a pickle loving fiend.

Kanny ^~^: i can do whatever I want jumpy

500 snakes in a trenchcoat: They are low calorie, pure salt, and provide absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever.

CarlosAndalucia: i support akane and she can be whatever she wants

pretty fly for a bi guy: are they just as salty as junpei

junpuns: i definitely feel like you've made that joke before but I honestly cannot remember

junpuns: also akane you can most definitely not be a god and carlos if you defend her i am breaking up with you

~*~pink princess~*~: pickles are great fuck all of you

~*~pink princess~*~: hahahaha

CarlosAndalucia: but we aren't dating

CarlosAndalucia: and can't, for that matter

junpuns: itsjoke.png

Σ: you sure about that, tenmyouji

Σ: *junpei

junpuns: very sure

golden girl: all of you who like pickles can come out and fight me

golden girl: i'll dropkick all of you 'til you learn common sense

Mom Friend™: Okay, I wasn't going to say anything, but I have a confession to make

pretty fly for a bi guy: lmaooo if sigma finds out you like pickles he's going to have an aneurysm

Mom Friend™: I like peanut butter and pickle sandwiches.

Σ: you what

golden girl: i really thought both of my parents were going to be reasonable for once

golden girl: but no

golden girl: my goddamn mom likes pb & pickles

Kanny ^~^: that's the only acceptable way to eat pickles honestly

Kanny ^~^: aoi couldnt get me to eat them otherwise

pretty fly for a bi guy: okay thats literally just bc youre a fiend for peanut butter

junpuns: i cannot believe I know two people who like peanut butter and pickle sandwiches

Σ: diana, my room. now.

CarlosAndalucia: minus the pb and pickles, I gotta agree with diana on this one, pickles are great

Mom Friend™: Sigma, I'm at the grocery store!

Σ: you'd better not be buying fucking pickles

Sean!: The nearest grocery store is 5.5 miles away. Would you like me to call a cab, Sigma?

golden girl: i hate this goddamn family

pretty fly for a bi guy: i thought he didnt work when you were online

Σ: it doesn't count if im on my phone

Σ: cell tower works differently

Σ: also no, sean, i would not, but thank you for asking

pretty fly for a bi guy: well thanks for the education mr know everything about electronics

junpuns: this is why I don't discourse

junpuns: it always ends like this

~*~pink princess~*~: i didnt mean to cause this much strife, i just wanted someone to open my pickle jar!!

Σ: alright, everyone, log off now

Σ: i know I cant make any of you stop but this has gone on for too long

h.kashiwabara: I know I havent said a word but Im sorry for causing this

Kanny ^~^: its my fault I let junpei make this group chat

junpuns: glad to see we're at the point where you're not blaming me for it

golden girl: okay can everyone just like

golden girl: be quiet

golden girl: shhh

golden girl: no more pickles or discourse

 

golden girl: excellent that did the trick.

 

500 snakes in a trenchcoat: This is the biggest mess I've ever seen.

500 snakes in a trenchcoat: And that's saying something, because I've been through two nonary games and got stuffed into a coffin once.

~*~pink princess~*~: you forgot the car accident bro

500 snakes in a trenchcoat: Fair enough.

Eric~: I know i'm late, had work, but pickles and ice cream are great

junpuns: eric, i really don't want to be mean to you after everything you've been through

junpuns: but shut the fuck up

 

Notes:

...........yep.

Notes:

i just realized i should probably explain two of the usernames so here we go

phi is golden girl bc phi is a symbol used to represent the golden ratio a lot
carlos is CarlosAndalucia because that's a character from a gundam show from the 90's and carlos is canonically a fan of giant robot shows. i haven't seen any gundam but *shrug emoji*

...yeah that's it. i will try to update this regularly but i'm going back to college in 4 days so no guarantees. i swear next chapter will be funnier than this this was just Setup for the most part
