~4 Years Ago~

[Online: Aphmau; Laurance; Garroth; Travis; Aaron; Dante]

Dante: Sorry, Aphmau, looks like you got stuck with all of us guys.

Aphmau: It's fine! 😊

Garroth: I need to head off, now, but hey, Laurance, can I PM you??

Laurance: Why..?

Garroth: Just cuz.

Laurance: Sure?

Garroth: Okay!

[Garroth Has Disconnected]

Travis: I wonder what was so private, that he couldn't say it in person~?? 😉😚

Laurance: Shut up, Travis.

Travis: Sorry, Laurance.

Aphmau: He's totally hitting on you, though!

Laurance: Oh my Irene, is that all that goes through your guys' heads?

Aphmau: Yea.

Travis: Pretty much.

Dante: 01010011 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01001101 01100101.

Travis: Wtf?

Aphmau: Dante, you ok???

Dante: Sorry, guys! Computer is acting up! LOL.

Aaron: You know binary?

Dante: Nah. That is just random 1s and 0s. I was mashing them, to try and write.

Laurance: Right...

Aphmau: Anyways, Laurance, your boyfriend is waiting for you~ 😏

Laurance: Whatever.

Dante: Bye!!

[Dante Has Disconnected]

Aaron: How odd...

Travis: Oh, you're one to talk.

Aaron: Excuse me?

Travis: Nothing...

Aphmau: What's odd about that?

Aaron: You're kidding right?

Aphmau: ???

Aaron: That's binary code.

Aphmau: What dat?

Aaron: Nevermind.

Aaron: I have to head out. My sister is visiting. Have a good night.

[Aaron Has Disconnected]

Travis: That guy is so strange.

Aphmau: Yeah... But, still!

Travis: What was up with Dante today? He's been acting so weird lately.

Aphmau: But, that's just this group chat. We're all strange people here.

Travis: Heh, true.

Aphmau: Text you later, Trav?

Travis: Sure thing, hun.

[Aphmau Has Disconnected]

Travis: Another day...

[Travis Has Disconnected]

[Gene Has Connected]

[Dante Has Connected]

Gene: I don't know how to delete messages!

Dante: You are the tech guy here!

Gene: Dude! What the Hell are you talking about?! You literally wrote in binary!

Dante: That wasn't me, I tell you!

Dante: Technology is before my time. I'm still not used to this.

Gene: I figured it out. But, that isn't going to change the fact, that Aphmau, Travis, Aaron, and Laurance already saw it.

Dante: And if one of them knows binary??

Gene: Let them. What can we do? We just have to proceed.

Dante: I see.

Gene: I'll see you back here Saturday, then. Now, I'm going to delete these messages.

Dante: Whatever it takes. Can't allow them to catch on.

[PMs: Garroth/Laurance]

Garroth: Hey!

Garroth: Hey?

Garroth: Hey.

Garroth: Hey...

Garroth: Well, when you see this, text me back, please.

Laurance: What is it?

Garroth: Oh, hey. Did you just get off the group chat?

Laurance: Yeah. Sucks how you can't check PMs, until you disconnect from the group chat.

Garroth: Yeah, they should really change that.

Laurance: Maybe we should message the developers about that.

Laurance: Anyways, what did you want?

Garroth: Just to talk with you.

Laurance: Oh? And, why did we have to take this to private messaging? Trying to hit on me, or something?

Garroth: NONONONONO! ABSOLUTELY NOT THAT!

Garroth: I was just wondering...

Garroth: Why do you not like me?

Laurance: Huh?

Garroth: I read back on some of the conversations you've had, when I wasn't online, and you called me weird...and you don't seem to tolerate me that much...

Garroth: I'm just curious...as to what I did wrong...

Laurance: You didn't do anything wrong, I'm sorry. I was just too quick to judge.

Garroth: oh

Laurance: Hey, I really am sorry. Want to...actually be friends?

Garroth: ...

Garroth: Yeah, sure! I'd love to! 😄

Laurance: 😊

~Present Day~

[PMs: Nicole/Gene]

Nicole: All ready!

Gene: Are you serious?

Nicole: Yup!

Gene: It's almost dawn, you're basically late.

Nicole: Put yourself in my shoes for a day!

Gene: No thanks. You're already annoying, as is.

Nicole: Anything for Dante~

Gene: You freak.

Gene: You do realize, that he's dead right?

Nicole: So?

Gene: This is basically necrophilia.

Nicole: I ain't afraid of dying!

Gene: You are SO fucking idiotic. Too bad we couldn't have kept Vylad around instead of you, he was at least tolerable.

Nicole: Shut up.

Gene: Anyways... Onto phase 2...

~~~

[PMs: Gene/Dante]

Gene: It's all set up!

Dante: Perfect...

~~~

[PMs: Travis/Zane]

Travis: Is Vylad still joining us for bowling?

Zane: Not sure. I'll ask him in a little bit.

Travis: Why not now?

Zane: Because all I'm trying to do, is play Nintendo, and relax, but I keep getting bugged by people texting me!

Travis: Man, sorry for those people who are doing that.

Travis: So, watcha playing?

Zane: 😒

Travis: "😒" Haven't heard of it!

Zane: I hate you.

Travis: Nahh, you love me. 💚

~~~

[PMs: Dante/Vylad]

Dante: Hello.

Vylad: ...

Vylad: DANTE?!

Vylad: Why the heck are you texting me?!?!?!?! WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE!!!

Dante: It's been quite a while.

[Successfully Blocked: Dante]

Dante: 01010101 01101110 01101100 01101111 01100011 01101011 00100000 01000011 01101111 01100100 01100101 00111010 00100000 01000010 01101100 01101111 01100011 01101011 01100101 01100100

Dante: Ineffective, VYLAD. One thing you should remember, from that time under my captivity- I learned a few tricks, after using this body for so long. Thank Irene, for giving me a technologically advanced body.

Vylad: WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?! I SWEAR TO IRENE, I WILL CALL THE POLICE!

Dante: I wouldn't do that if I were you. You'll do more harm to yourself, than anything.

Vylad: ...

Vylad: What do you want?!

Dante: Just a simple request.

Dante: Meet me in O'Khasis Square. At dawn.

Vylad: No way!!!

Dante: Fine. Then, I guess you're going to have to have...ANOTHER one of your siblings perish.

Vylad: You monster!

Dante: See you at dawn.

Dante: Oh, and, don't tell a single soul where you're going, or who you're meeting. Because, your actions WILL have consequences.

Vylad: ...

[PMs: Zane/Vylad]

Zane: Vylad, are you going to come bowling with Travis and I?

Vylad: I can't.

Zane: What? Why??

Vylad: Something just came up...
