Monday 9:12 am.

The second exit.

Kurin: rip to Aay's statue but apparently the head falling off gave the PE teacher a concussion

Aay: :( it served its purpose well

Kurin: also I now know the names of everyone the AO knows at my school

Kurin: and I've made a bet with the smartest person alive

Kurin: and I'm going to fucking win

Riot: wait what

Riot: what the fuck did we miss in this past half hour?

Magnus: And what's this about a bet?

Kurin: so while they were telling me who everyone is

Kurin: I may have called some guy cute

Magnus: Wow, it seems like you definitely learned people's names. Where do they come from with a name like "some guy"? I'm intrigued.

Riot: I was gonna say it looks like your lesson went well

Kurin: fuck you both

Kurin: the guy's name is Chet

Kurin: anyway

Riot: tf kinda name is Chet

Aay: i dont think u can comment on names riot

Magnus: You're named after the first letter of the alphabet, you can't comment either.

Kurin: yeah..

Aay: rude

Aay: i chose my name myself and it is absolutely beautifull

Riot: wait wait gen question

Riot: did you and your friends pick all your alphabet names at the same time to match?

Aay: yeah we did

Aay: we all realised we were trans at the same time and decided to pick matching names

Aay: it was fun

Aay: we considered naming ourselves after numbers originally but like nah

Magnus: If you did, would you have been called One?

Aay: probably woulda changed the spellin but yeah that was what I was thinking of

Kurin: Aay, you could've been One-One from Infinity Train

Aay: omg yeah 😲

Aay: i was thinking of spelling it wun or smthn tho like the sosciety in that book series you like

Aay: number names were too difficult though so we went for alphabet ones instead

Kurin: all names are difficult tbh

Riot: that's so fucking true

Aay: the trans gang all hate the struggle of choosing names

Kurin: tbh I just ended up using a name generator until I found one I liked

Magnus: Do you even know what your name means?

Kurin: no, I was going to find out but in the end I never actually bothered to look it up... :/

Riot: I know what my name means >:)

Magnus: Your name has the most obvious meaning though.

Riot: fine it does

Riot: whatever though, we all know the only reason you're so obsessed with name definitions is because your name means great

Kurin: hang on, Magnus did you also choose your own name?

Magnus: What?

Aay: wait yea did you???

Magnus: Why are you asking this?

Kurin: idk I just thought of it

Magnus: So, there's no reason you're asking?

Riot: there is definitely a reason as to why you're dodging the question though

Riot: we're not going to judge if you did change your name for fucks sake, everyone else here did

Magnus: Fine, yeah, I did.

Magnus: Before you ask, it was because I didn't want to keep the name that asshole called me.

Kurin: Okay, that is totally fair. I can relate to that.

Riot: guessing Black isn't your last name either then?

Magnus: No, it's not.

Aay: you 🤝 Kurin, changing both your first and last names

Kurin: Kurin Kravitz > REDACTED REDACTED anyday

Riot: LMFAO THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY TYPED REDACTED REDACTED

Riot: fr though, chosen names > given names all the way

Aay: agreedddddddd

Riot: wait we're insanely off topic

Magnus: Oh, yeah.

Aay: what were we talking abt again??

Riot: ok Kurin what were you saying about your crush with the weird-ass name?

Kurin: weird-ass name, sure. but I do not have a crush on him

Riot: are you fr, you called him cute ffs

Kurin: yeah?

Kurin: ok Riot, I know you're fresh out of kindergarten so you may not know this, but you can call people cute without having a crush on them.

Kurin: recognising that someone is cute ≠ romantic feelings/a crush

Magnus: I don't fucking care if you have a feelings for him or not, I want to know what kind of bet you made.

Kurin: well everyone started yelling at me for calling him cute because apparently his personality is shit

Kurin: and ngl I can believe that

Riot: wait what hold on

Kurin: What?

Riot: I can't tell if you mean you believe he has a shit personality or if you misspelled something and you think he doesn't have a shit personality

Kurin: oh

Kurin: yeah I fully believe he has a shit personality

Kurin: literally never spoken to the guy but I do sort of trust the judgement the AB have on people??

Magnus: You shouldn't.

Magnus: I don't know if I ever told you this, I know I told Aay though but when we were all still working for AAAnimus I was supposed to disguise myself, give a fake name and try to join the AO so I could gain information on them.

Magnus: I somehow managed to fuck up when giving a fake name and introduced myself as Magnus, which wouldn't have been an issue if my disguise had been better, AAAnimus had a low ass budget for disguises, I swear, they just told me to wear my casual clothes, then put a pair of glasses on my face and sent me off. As if they hadn't already met me a few days before with Riot, Aay and strata.

Riot: censor that name please. I do not want s*rata's name said here

Magnus: Fine, I will do that in the future.

Magnus: Anyway the AO didn't even fucking notice or realise. They just let me try out to join their team and even though Shun got in instead of me, I swear they still haven't even realised to this day that I was the other Magnus too.

Magnus: TLDR: The AB have really shit judgement.

Aay: LMFAO I REMEMBER THAT

Aay: u came back to aaanimus and you were literally FUMING lololol

Aay: istg I had to stop you from punching a hole in the wall or smthn

Kurin: holy shit where was I when this was happening

Riot: idfk were you even a member at the time?

Kurin: oh fair point

Riot: where was I when this went down though?? I was DEFINITELY a member

Aay: im not sure

Aay: i remember seeing you that day.. idk when tho

Magnus: You definitely were not a member Kurin, this was at least two weeks before you joined.

Kurin: right, okay.

Kurin: so wait are you actually saying you think the ao are wrong and that this guy doesn't have a shit personality

Magnus: No.

Magnus: I'm saying you shouldn't just trust their word. Find out for yourself if he's an asshole or not.

Kurin: oh well that was the plan anyways

Aay: are you finally gonna explain the bet u made??

Kurin: Yeah

Kurin: Athena told me that I'd take back what I said about him looking cute if I ever got to know him

Kurin: I took that as a challenge

Kurin: then when Ajit told me that Chet's best friend is super positive and nice, I told Athena that if he's friends with someone so positive then he can't be as bad as she thinks

Magnus: So now you've made a bet over something extremely stupid?

Kurin: yeah basically

Kurin: and I'm going to fucking win

Kurin: I do not CARE that everyone thinks I'm wrong I am going to be correct about this

Riot: hold up I'm confused again

Riot: is the bet about whether or not you'll still find him cute after you find out his personality is shit

Riot: or is it about whether or not his personality is actually shit

Kurin: ...

Kurin: I

Kurin: I have no fucking clue

Magnus: Did you hear that?

Magnus: That was the sound of me facepalming and sighing loudly.

Aay: lol i heard nothing

Magnus: Imagine that sound then.

Aay: oh god

Aay: u sound fustrated

Magnus: I am.

Magnus: I am extremely frustrated with Kurin's bullshit.

Kurin: WHAT BS???

Magnus: You made a bet but you don't know what it's about.

Kurin: okay give me a second

Magnus: It's not even a bet, you've just taken someone else's words as a personal challenge.

Kurin: ok well true but jfc calm down

Riot: I mean Magnus is right it is pretty dumb of you

Riot: but also I'm not surprised

Kurin: ugh

Kurin: so basically there's two challenges

Kurin: one I want to prove his personality is not actually trash

Kurin: but two if I'm wrong and it is trash, I've got to try not to eat my words and not take back saying that his appearance is cute

Riot: ok that makes so much more sense. two challenges

Magnus: The second challenge only exists if Kurin looses the first one.

Magnus: So really they only need to focus on the first one. If they win, there's no second challenge to even think about.

Kurin: that's a good point

Aay: how can you even win tho

Aay: like u can't control whether or not the guy is an asshole right

Kurin: yeah idk.

Kurin: I'm mostly just hoping that I'm right and that I can prove that through getting to know him or something

Riot: so basically you're fucked.

Kurin: if I'm wrong then yeah, I absolutely am

Kurin: I may be stupid for this but I don't think I'm wrong

Kurin: it's like I already said, if he's such close friends with such a positive and well liked person, he can't be completely terrible

Riot: fair point but there has to be a reason as to why everyone thinks he's a dickhead though

Aay: maybe he's like Magnus

Aay: acts mean but is actually a big softie

Magnus: What the fuck.

Riot: LMAOOOO

Kurin: kahsjhsjsbsj

Kurin: yeah maybe

Magnus: Aay where the fuck did you get that assumption from?

Magnus: I am not a "softie".

Aay: sureeeeeeeee

Riot: wait ok actually I wanna ask a question

Riot: because I'm really curious now

Riot: Magnus, you said Black isn't your actual last name, does Emily know that???

Magnus: No and she doesn't need to know that.

Magnus: AAAnimus actually did us a favour and got us registered legally under the names we go by rather than our names given at birth.

Magnus: According to legal documents, mine and Emily's old identies actually died on the streets.

Kurin: holy shit you've technically faked your own death?

Riot: I love AAAnimus for that

Riot: like I wouldn't go back there but also despite some of the things they did being boarderline illegal, they really did get us all legal name changes and even changed Magnus's entire identity for him <3

Aay: no some of the things we did were definitely illegal

Aay: not just boaderline

Kurin: oh like that fucking volcano stunt?

Magnus: Don't fucking remind me about that.

Magnus: I told that bitch to get the fuck out of the volcano but did he fucking listen? No.

Kurin: ah fuck, sorry everyone, I set Magnus off on another "Dan Kouzo is the most annoying mf in existence" rant

Kurin: somehow despite the fact they're friends now

Riot: ffs

Riot: every fucking time we mention the volcano ughhhh

Aay: tbh i hated that whole plan

Aay: like that volcano was STINKY

Kurin: ew yeah it was

Riot: no actually like the volcano incident was so weird anyway like???? why did we need to do that in the first place???

Riot: the saving people from actual issues and pretending to be heroes thing was going so well without needing to create issues to save people from

Magnus: Exactly. The plan would've kept on working if it wasn't for the volcano idea.

Aay: idk why either tbh

Aay: who's idea even was that

Kurin: Philomena's I think?

Riot: damn.

Riot: omg wait speaking of illegal AAAnimus shit

Riot: remember the time Kravitz tricked Dan into playing a VR video game so Magnus could temporarily steal his identity???

Kurin: YEAH I DO REMEMBER THAT BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

Magnus: That day was hell.

Aay: they made me rob a burger shop :(

Kurin: we know Aay

Aay: I didn't wanna do that :((

Kurin: we know

Aay: I like that burger shop :(((

Kurin: yeah, we know

Riot: oh oh speaking of shops

Riot: how's the process of buying that cafe going?

Aay: oh!!! were meeting w that person today!!! :DD

Aay: ill update yall on how it goes 🥳

Kurin: oh good luck

Riot: yeah good luck Aay

Magnus: I hope it goes well.

Aay: thanks!!!!

Aay: oh btw if it does go well and we get the cafe then I wanna like redecorate the place so would any of you be open to helping paint stuff??

Kurin: idk if I'd be any good at it but I'd be willing to try

Riot: same here but I'm actually a god at painting

Kurin: omg what's your area of expertise, finger painting or color by numbers??

Riot: fucking die

Magnus: I'll think about it.

Magnus: You should ask Emily, it sounds like something she'd want to join in with.

Aay: wait fr? I might ask her then thanks :))

Aay: I'm thinking of asking Trey to help too

Kurin: wait what would you paint the cafe to look like?

Aay: idk i want it to match the vibe of the group but also im thinking of having an entire wall dedicated to memes where people can just stick images of their favourite memes on the wall

Kurin: oh my gods that sounds fun

Riot: it actually does

Riot: what kinda food would you be selling there?

Aay: regular cafe stuff

Aay: like cakes cookies and other sweet stuff + sandwiches soups and other basic foods you get at cafes like pizza and sausage rolls plus stuff like coffee tea and hot chocolate

Magnus: Now you've said that there'll be tea, Riot is probably never going to leave the place if you get it.

Riot:🖕

Kurin: I really hope you get the place Aay, I'm looking forward to the update later

Aay: thanks brooooo :))))

Riot: genuinely invested in Aay's cafe quest and Kurin's dumbass bet

Kurin: I'd genuinely forgotten about my bet for a moment and was about to ask what you were talking about

Magnus: A dumbass bet made by a dumbass.

Kurin: fuck you

Kurin: but also you're not wrong

Aay: this gc was a great idea

Riot: ikr

Kurin: I'm not sure the gc was a great idea but it is a lot of fun

Kurin: also the amount of shit that has happened since it's been made

Kurin: oh my gods

Kurin: honestly, I feel like dramatic things only ever happen when a group chat has been made

Aay: do you think that's why that alien guy showed up? because someone added him into a gc???

Riot: omg imagine

Riot: what if that was why the Bakugan appeared too, all because someone made a group chat

Kurin: it would explain the great collision

Magnus: No, stop. The almost world ending events that have happened had nothing to do with group chats.

Aay: do u really know that tho???

Aay: new conspiracy theory

Magnus: Oh fuck no.

Kurin: I mean some of it is plausable...

Kurin: istg that alien guy knew how technology worked

Magnus: Yeah, he once ran away from a battle against me and Ajit just to watch cartoons.

Kurin: wtf

Riot: wtf

Kurin: uh anyway. that implies he knows how to use a phone at least so he COULD have a number and he COULD get added to gcs

Aay: it'd be so fun to find out his number omg

Magnus: No.

Riot: nah bc he was dangerous as hell

Riot: I swear the AB didn't even defeat him in the end and he only left bc the space police showed up

Kurin: I think so

Magnus: Yeah, along with wanting to destroy the world he once threatened to kill me and Ajit during a battle against us.

Kurin: WHAT

Riot: WAIT WHAT

Aay: WTF???

Magnus: That was when I found out he watched cartoons because he decided not to kill us because if he did he'd be too late to catch the beginning of his favourite cartoon.

Riot: holy shit

Kurin: are you in need of therapy Magnus?

Kurin: genuinely like... it might help

Kurin: you have been through a lot of shit.

Magnus: I'm fine.

Aay: lies

Magnus: Well at the very least, I don't need therapy.

Magnus: It'd be one thing speaking to a therapist about how I had to run away from an abusive home at the age of six.

Magnus: But talking about how I was turned into a puppet for Tiko and how multiple people including an alien have tried to kill me would probably lead to the therapist needing therapy.

Riot: MULTIPLE PEOPLE??????

Magnus: Damn, is that the time? I have to go.

Kurin: Are you fucking serious?

Magnus: No.

Magnus: I just don't want to have a conversation about the amount of times I've almost died in the past.

Aay: understandable

Aay: o shit I actualy have to go

Aay: have to meet the others soon but I haven't even eaten yet

Kurin: oh my gods get offline and hurry up

Kurin: and good luck!

Riot: you can do this

Magnus: Yeah, let Dee do the talking.

Aay: thanks! and will do :))

Riot: so Magnus are you actually okay?

Magnus: Yeah I am. Stop worrying so much.

Kurin: I'll take your word for it.

Kurin: but like, if you're ever not okay then we are here for you

Magnus: Yeah, thanks. I know.

Magnus: Same if any of you aren't okay.

Riot: aaaand you just proved Aay's previous point about you being a softie

Magnus: Fuck this shit, I'm out.

Kurin: LMFAO

Kurin: MADE EVEN BETTER BY THE FACT HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT'S A MEME

Riot: FR FR LOL

Riot: so what are you even doing?

Kurin: hiding out until I get a chance to escape the school, then I'm going home to play music and read books

Kurin: what are you doing?

Riot: idfk, probably gotta do homeschool shit in a bit but currently I am doing nothing

Kurin: ah cool

Kurin: well, I might get some reading done

Kurin: talk to you later Riot

Riot: oh ok see ya

Monday 12:27 pm.

Aay: we got the cafe!!!!!

Aay: we actually got it!!!

Aay: so like we looked around the place and Dee did some double checking w the paperwork and the store

Aay: then she made an offer and the conversation went back and forth w like prices but eventually there was some more paperwork done with documents and discussion of payment

Aay: we've gotta wait a while for some solicitor dude to help w some more paperwork but it's actually happening!!!!!
