The second exit

Kurin: gods

Riot: yes, hi? you called?

Kurin: no, I said gods not satan

Kurin: Callie PI might just be my new favorite show

Riot: wtf is that

Kurin: a series of YouTube videos where Callie investigates if Faustus and Short are a couple

Kurin: you make an appearance actually

Riot: WAIT I DO???

Aay: lol i wanna see this

Magnus: So were they?

Kurin: yeah, they used to be married actually

Aay: why'd they devorce :(

Kurin: Faustus got possessed or something

Riot: oh shit I remember that lol

Magnus: That was really fucking weird.

Aay: werent you also posesed before???

Magnus: Not technically, I was being controlled like a puppet, I wasn't actually possessed.

Magnus: But what happened to Faustus was seriously weird, he fused with his Bakugan Wrath and was completely under his control.

Riot: it was mega creepy

Kurin: it sounds it tbh

Aay: yeah that sounds terifying

Kurin: also Magnus please get therapy

Riot: ^

Riot: please

Magnus: I don't think I will.

Aay: when given the choice betweeen getting theapy and stying traumatised magnus chooses trauma

Magnus: No, I just don't think any therapist is qualified to help with trauma from being turned into a puppet.

Magnus: I think I said that before.

Riot: yh but like... that sucks because genuinely you DO need help

Magnus: Well, I can't do anything about that.

Aay: so lik e wait

Aay: kurin wht did you come here to say about that??

Magnus: Yeah, Kurin, continue talking. I'm done with being told to get therapy for now.

Kurin: okay (but like fr you do need therapy)

Kurin: so many people make appearances and she even finds Short's wedding ring in a desk drawer in his office

Kurin: this though was what I wanted to talk about, it's so fucking funny I genuinely can't not show you all

Kurin sent a video!

Riot: LMFAO WHAT

Aay: broooooo omg

Magnus: I don't know, the evidence certainly isn't conclusive or anything.

Aay: WDYM INCONCCLUSIEVE THEY KISSED ON SCREEN

Magnus: I was joking.

Aay: oh

Aay: WHEN DO U EVER JOKE??????

Riot: quite a lot actually I just don't think u pick up on it lololol

Aay: liek when????

Riot: remember when he told you to imagine the sound of him facepalming?

Aay: yes he sounded very annoyed

Kurin: don't try to explain it Riot

Kurin: I think he'd understand irl but over text? no chance.

Magnus: Yeah.

Riot: fine

Riot: icl though I thought he was joking back w his response to Magnus the other day

Magnus: Maybe he's just acting dumb to make us laugh?

Aay: idk what you mean :(

Magnus: You pretended to be a flat earther just to piss me off the other week.

Aay: lol

Kurin: lmfao

Magnus: All I'm saying is he could be acting stupid on purpose while actually being, maybe not intelligent but definitely more intelligent than he lets on.

Riot: nah I think ur overthinking it

Riot: I mean he once stuck French fries up his nostrils to pretend he was a walrus

Aay: 😊

Aay: i was such a cool walrus through

Kurin: LMFAO I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

Magnus: Yeah I'm overthinking it.

Riot: YEAH RIGHT IT WAS HILARIOUS

Magnus: So you're saying that was the conclusion of the series?

Kurin: no the conclusion was another episode later

Kurin: I think my favorite part was this though

Kurin sent a video!

Kurin: like... what the fuck was even going on there in the background while she's talking to the camera

Riot: ARE THEY FIGHTING????

Aay: omg civil war

Magnus: Nothing civil about it.

Riot: LOL I KNEW ATHENA DIDN'T LIKE CHET BUT THAT'S SO FUNNY

Kurin: I was watching it this morning and I was literally late to school because I couldn't stop laughing over it

Riot: WAITWAITWAIT WHAT THE FUCK I'M THERE TOO???

Riot: I DON'T REMEMBER THIS??????

Aay: kinda wish i was able to brawl because i woulda loved going there

Magnus: Very glad you weren't able to brawl because I would not have wanted to put up with you there.

Riot: LMFAOOOO I FORGOT U WERE A TEACHER THERE MAGNUS

Kurin: AAAnimus employee, detective, teacher.. Magnus has had so many careers I think we should start calling him barbie

Riot: BARBIE MAGNUS???? HELPPPPPP

Aay: im a barbie girl in a barbie woooorllddd life in plasticccc is fantasticcccccc

Magnus: Die.

Riot: no <3

Riot: idk how I don't remember that though

Riot: oml wait isn't that Chad in the bg too??

Kurin: yes and he's SINGING

Riot: 😭

Riot: icl sometimes I miss going to school with others just because of chaotic shit like that

Kurin: honestly Riot, you should sign up to school it's awful but idk you'd probably like it more than homeschool because there's people you can talk to

Riot: yeah idk though bc homeschool is good and all and if I went to a normal school I'd only be in classes with that trio of triplets and idkkkk I mean they're nice and all but I'm not friends with them and also I think I'm working at a FAR higher level than they are

Kurin: I don't want you to get an inflated ego about this but you are right, you're a lot more intelligent than most 9 year olds are

Kurin: tbh I think you could probably go in Trey's class at school, he's in the first year at my school which would be two years above where you should be based on age but I think you could 100% do it

Kurin: like if you wanted to I'd say you should apply to go there, it's still early in this school year + there's people you know here at the school

Riot: you've definitely got a point idk I'll think about it

Aay: it's absulutely awful you would LOVE it

Magnus: I can't say anything because I've never been to school but maybe talk to Emily about the idea and see if she thinks you'd like the school?

Magnus: Kurin probably doesn't have the most reliable judgement of it.

Kurin: and what is that supposed to mean exactly??

Magnus: It means you didn't know anyone's names until Monday so the opinions of someone who keeps to themself will be entirely different to the opinions of my sister who talks to and befriends literally everyone.

Kurin: that's.

Kurin: I can't argue with that

Riot: yh I'll ask Emily about it

Riot: speaking of Kurin not knowing anyone

Riot: how the fuck have they managed to make so many friends this week since learning people's names?

Kurin: one friend.

Kurin: literally one friend

Kurin: the AB are a different matter because I already knew them

Kurin: oh except Athena so I guess two friends

Kurin: but I'm pretty sure Athena doesn't like me so maybe not

Magnus: She's just bad with people, she probably thinks you're nice, if a little stupid.

Kurin: oh

Kurin: well to answer your question Riot I made one friend because I have an excellent sense of style

Riot: lmao you fucking do not

Riot: I have seen you call the worlds most awful outfits cool

Kurin: like what?

Riot: you saw the words ugliest pink sweater with a French bulldog on it and I shit you not you said "need"

Kurin: fuck off it was so cool

Aay: omg i remember that one chrustnas jumper u wanted

Aay sent a picture!

Aay: this one

Kurin: ok ok I wasn't serious about that one

Magnus: Everytime I learn something new about any of you I regret my life decisions that led me to become friends with you all.

Aay: HOKY SHIT DID U GUYS HEAR THAT

Aay: HE CONSGIDERS US HIS FRIENDSSSSSSS <333333

Riot: aw that's so sweet Magnus

Kurin: I can't believe it, he finally admitted it.

Magnus: You're all assholes.

Riot: love you too bestie

Aay: BESTIES FOE LIFEEEEEEEE

Magnus: For fuck's sake.

Magnus: Kurin, how did you convince Callie to send you her YouTube series after only befriending her yesterday?

Kurin: literally I did not do anything

Kurin: like five minutes into the conversation she just offered

Riot: I wasn't done teasing Magnus but ok actually I did want to ask you something Kurin....

Kurin: if it's something stupid I get to steal your fancy teapot

Riot: no deal

Riot: did Callie ask about the situation with Chet thinking you've got a crush on him?? like does she know about that??

Kurin: idk if she knows, she hasn't mentioned it at all. I kind of hope she doesn't know because GODS I hate the situation

Magnus: That's your own stupid fault for calling someone cute without thinking.

Kurin: pretty sure it was your sister's fault for talking too loud

Magnus: No, you wouldn't have been there in the first place if you hadn't made that dumb bet.

Aay: OOOOOOHHH THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTINGGGGGGGG

Riot: LMFAO AAY

Kurin: then maybe if Athena hadn't challenged me it wouldn't have happened

Magnus: Did she challenge you or did you just assume she challenged you?

Kurin: Do you really have to do this rn?

Magnus: I do because I think you're being completely fucking stupid and blaming everyone else for something you caused.

Kurin: you know what, I think that was the bell for end of lunch break, goodbye.

Aay: bye :(((

Riot: what the fuck was that like a serious argument or what

Magnus: That depends.

Riot: and now they're both offline, great

Aay: thats awekward

Aay: do u wanna play roblox riot?

Aay: i wanna play bee swarm sim

Riot: like rn? after watching the others argue possibly seriously for the first time like ever??

Aay: sure

Riot: .

Riot: alright

Riot: I'll join you

Aay: :) ok!!

Friday 3:29 pm

haha cheeseburger

Dan: GUYS GUYS GUYSSSSSSSSS

Lia: what is it?

Dan: so Trey just sent me a picture lol

Dan sent a picture!

Dan: can't believe he found the one thing Athena isn't amazing at

Shun: Chess?

Dan: YEAH LOL

Lia: why is Trey sending you pictures of him playing chess with Athena?

Dan: me and Trey are practically besties

Lia: and once again but with honesty?

Dan: idk he just sends me random stuff sometimes

Lia: may I stress that I said HONESTLY??

Wynton: no you said honesty not honestly

Lia: Wynton that's not the point

Wynton: just saying

Dan: fine

Dan: I checked in on him once when he seemed to be feeling pretty down and I think he appreciated it or something because now he'll occasionally message me things he thinks I'll find funny

Lia: oh that's actually pretty sweet

Dan: yeah! he sends some really good memes sometimes

Lia: I meant you looking out for him that time

Shun: Yes, that was really nice of you Dan, especially since you and Trey didn't always get along.

Dan: oh

Dan: it was nothing really I mean previously being rivals with someone in Bakugan battles doesn't mean anything outside of battle you can still be friends right??

Shun: That's true, I mean, I am friends with Noah.

Lia: yeah and Riot's like a sister to me

Lia: and Wynton has the world's biggest crush on Jenny

Wynton: STOP

Shun: I suppose we could say Kurin used to be a rival too but they're our friend now.

Dan: yeah!! and Magnus and Athena too

Dan: oh and Aay we get along with him too :)

Lia: not Dan mentioning Magnus in a message where he also mentions Athena as if that's going to stop us from mentioning how down bad he is for Magnus

Wynton: LMFAO yeah Dan mentioning the group's lesbian does not hide your crush on Magnus

Lia: trying to hide his crush by mentioning him in the same message as my girlfriend lol

Shun: He's quite bad at hiding it.

Dan: shut upppppp

Dan: and I'm not that down bad for him

Lia: I distinctly recall you saying multiple times how you want to kiss him

Dan: THAT'S NOT DOWN BAD THATS JUST A CRUSH

Wynton: "and his frown was so cute but I just wanted to kiss it off his face because his smile is absolutely gorgeous and I want to make him smile like that again."

Dan: SHUT THE FUCK UP

Dan: actually two can play at that game

Dan: "she's so smart and sweet and her laugh is like little bells ringing and god everytime she comes up with a new idea for an invention or a program she just gets this sparkle in her eyes and I love it so much"

Lia: DID HE ACTUALLY SAY THAT????

Wynton: DAN SHUT UP

Dan: you exposed me first

Wynton: the difference is with you it's not really exposing you since everyone knows you say that shit

Dan: tbf everyone knows you'd marry Jenny in an instant if given the chance so you're not exactly subtle either

Lia: bi on bi violence

Athena: What on earth did I open this group chat to?

Dan: ATHENA

Dan: I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE BAD AT CHESS

Athena: I'm still better than you at it, didn't you lose to that dog?

Dan: can u please call Lightning by his name for once?

Athena: No, no I can't.

Dan: istg why not?

Athena: No comment.

Dan: fine then maybe you'll comment on how it felt to lose to Trey in chess?

Athena: It was far more justifiable than losing to you in anything could ever be. He has talent and he's won actual awards for playing chess, it would be presumptuous to even assume I could win against someone who's put in the hours of work and practice and become incredibly skilled at the game.

Wynton: LMFAOOOO DAN'S GOT NOTHING TO SAY TO THAT LOL

Lia: Athena?

Athena: yes?

Lia: I love you so much

Shun: Aww.

Dan: damn lol me and who???

Athena: You and nobody, keep dreaming of the day you finally manage to get yourself a partner.

Dan: BRO????

Dan: ATHENA CAN U STOP ABSOLUTELY DESTROYING ME????

Athena: You've fallen for the least attainable person possible, maybe when you stop chasing after Magnus and find someone else you might be in with a higher chance.

Lia: I mean she's got a point Dan

Lia: even if Magnus likes you back he'd probably never admit to that and you're too scared to confess to him yourself

Wynton: tbf confessing isn't easy

Wynton: I still haven't been able to confess to Jenny all this time and I see her almost everyday at school and we text all the time too

Shun: That's a good point, Dan doesn't exactly see Magnus a lot in person and they've only recently started talking again over text. Before that they only ever saw each other when our Bakugan visit and we all battle.

Athena: Well, on that note, if they never see each other, how can Dan be certain he actually still likes Magnus?

Dan: ???????

Dan: excuse me what the fuck does that even mean??

Athena: Don't get me wrong but if you so rarely see each other how do you know you actually like the current him and not the past him you used to know?

Athena: I mean this genuinely, I'm not trying to accuse you of anything.

Dan: idk I just know

Dan: besides I talk to him over text often now and yeah idk I feel the same way I always have

Dan: but ig fair point

Dan: maybe I should try meeting up with him irl sometime

Lia: seriously?

Lia: since when did you take Athena's advice?

Dan: since it benefited me to do so?

Wynton: not true bro, previously you've ignored Athena's advice because you're stupidly petty even though it would've benefited you to take it

Dan: if her advice involved you hanging out with Jenny, you would take the advice right??

Wynton: yes?

Lia: DAN YOU ARE BLATANTLY DOWN BAD

Dan: LISTEN

Dan: who am I to ignore good advice from your girlfriend??

Dan: I mean especially since you know your girlfriend has a girlfriend which is you which means if she has a girlfriend then that surely means her advice on relationships should be good because she has a partner and I don't so I should listen to her advice if I want a partner

Wynton: yeah but her girlfriend is Lia

Lia: and what does that mean??

Wynton: just that you're very different to Magnus so Athena's advice based off her relationship with you might not be helpful if Dan's trying to use it for his potential relationship with Magnus

Athena: You know, I wasn't giving advice, I was asking a question.

Dan: YES but it was a GOOD question :(

Dan: like it's a fair point literally like I rarely see him outside of battles and it'd be nice to see him and spend time with him idkkkk

Lia: okay so he's not taking Athena's non-advice, he's desperate for a date.

Dan: STOPPP THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT AND YOU KKOW IT :(

Wynton: that was totally what he meant

Athena: Definitely.

Dan: OKAY FINE

Dan: but BE FAIR TO ME y'all haven't seen him without his mask

Dan: like holy shit he's so pretty, his eyessssss <3333

Dan: like his mask is cool and all but tbh I kinda hate it because it hides one of his eyes and some of his really beautiful features and aaaa I wish I could see it more

Wynton: screenshotted

Lia: what did I say? down bad

Dan: at least I admit it

Ajit: that felt targeted

Dan: ohh hi Ajit!!!

Dan: lol it was targeted at Wynton

Ajit: oh

Ajit: of course lol

Athena: Did you think it was targeted at someone else?

Ajit: no

Shun: Ajit, where have you been? Usually you're active in the group before I am haha :)

Ajit: oh just doing my Genshin dailies lolol

Dan: waitwaitwait please don't do any main quests without me :(((

Ajit: dw!! I won't

Wynton: tbh Dan I think you should go for it

Dan: ??? go for what? playing Genshin with Ajit??

Wynton: I meant asking Magnus to meet up but absolutely you should play Genshin with Ajit too

Wynton: I just think it sounds like a good idea for you to spend some time with him irl

Dan: I see Ajit irl all the time lol

Lia: he meant Magnus

Dan: OH right of course lol

Athena: It wasn't my idea though. It was your own idea. My words keep getting misinterpreted like that.

Dan: stop using fancy words all the time and maybe they won't be

Athena: Just because you people have zero reading comprehension.

Athena: Honestly, between you and Kurin.

Dan: hey speaking of Kurin everyone's online rn except them lol

Shun: Oh, I meant to say, they seemed quite irritated when I saw them in class after lunch, I didn't get a chance to speak with them about it though.

Dan: oh :( I hope they're ok

Lia: I hope so too

Ajit: yeah same :(

Friday 4:21 pm

Private messages: Magnus - Kurin

Magnus: Hi Kurin, I'm sorry about earlier, I know it's not entirely your fault you ended up in such a stupid situation.

Kurin: since when did you apologize? I thought we were just ignoring each other until tomorrow when everything's chill again

Magnus: You weren't annoyed?

Kurin: oh yeah, I was

Kurin: but you had a good point honestly, I did cause most of this myself

Kurin: and if I hadn't made that comment calling him cute, Athena wouldn't have said what she said then I wouldn't have turned it into a challenge and gone to the library and then your sister wouldn't have made that assumption

Magnus: Exactly.

Magnus: Even though I was correct though, I probably shouldn't have called you out on it or been rude about it.

Kurin: stop it

Kurin: you apologizing is genuinely weirding me out

Kurin: like who are you and what did you do with Magnus?

Magnus: That's ridiculous.

Kurin: to be fair, it's happened before when you pretended to be Dan that one time. It could happen again with someone pretending to be you.

Magnus: That is not what's happened though.

Kurin: shame

Kurin: also I haven't checked the gc with the AB all day but I just got a notification from there and Dan's complaining about you leaving him on read???

Magnus: I have my reasons.

Kurin: go reply to him, I'm going to backread that chat to see what I missed

Magnus: I might.

Friday 4:27 pm

Private messages: Magnus - Riot

Magnus: Hi, I'm sorry if you got worried over me and Kurin arguing earlier. I just messaged them, everything is fine now.

Riot: I wasn't fucking worried I thought the whole thing was stupid

Riot: like why the fuck did you both start an argument over smth so dumb smh

Magnus: I see. So you weren't worried.

Riot: not at all, why tf do you think I was???

Magnus: I don't know why I thought that.

Riot: well you shouldn't have thought that!!

Magnus: Sorry again.
