Chapter Text
Grian has added Xisuma to the chat
Grian has added Scott to the chat
Grian has added Fwhip to the chat
Grian: I bet you’re wondering why I’ve gathered you here today
Scott: Bc we’re all roommates
Grian: Well
Grian: Yeah
Grian: You’re no fun
Scott: I literally just met you
Grian: And you’re so lucky that you have
Xisuma: How were you so quick to make this? We got the email 10 minutes ago
Grian: I have my secrets
Xisuma: Isn’t there someone else with us as well? Fwhip?
Fwhip: Just because you lot have time to chatter on about whatever, doesn’t mean we all do
Grian: Hello Fwhip!
Fwhip: Hello Grian
Scott: You’ve met?
Grian: Yeah, at orientation
Grian: It was friendship at first sight
Fwhip: This man toppled over a single chair and caused a domino effect to such a degree that I, along with many others, ended up in the arms of a stranger
Xisuma: That was you???
Grian: You aren’t whimsical or joyful at all
Scott: I saw it from the other side of the auditorium
Grian: Be that as it may, the fact that you didn’t recognise me says that I can shake this off
Scott: Brownish hair, red sweater and glasses?
Grian: Drat
Xisuma: Why was I roomed with such messes?
Scott: Don’t you rope me in with them
--
Grian: Scottttt
Scott: Yesss Griannn
Grian: Could you grab me pack of maryland
Grian: The blue ones
Scott: We had a shopping list!
Grian: I know! But I was working on my thing for the thing so I didn’t have time
Scott: You’ve been working on this for like, a week straight!
Xisuma: When did you go to sleep last, Grian?
Grian: …
Fwhip: Xisuma! You hypocrite!
Xisuma: I went to sleep last night!
Scott: I could have sworn I heard you getting a coffee at around 4
Xisuma: Snitch
Fwhip: Why do you and Grian have such horrendous sleep schedules
Fwhip: We’ve been here for a month, and you’ve already pulled like 5 all nighters together
Grian: We’ve got very good reasons for it!
Fwhip: …
Scott: …
Scott: Well?
Grian: I didn’t actually think you’d listen, I’ve got nothing
Xisuma: Great job Grian
Grian: Thanks Suma
Scott: So maryland?
Grian: Yes pls
--
Scott: Xisuma
Scott: Xisuma
Scott: Xisuma
Scott: Xisuma
Scott: Xisuma
Xisuma: What??
Scott: What’d you get on the programming test?
Xisuma: The one from last week?
Scott: What other programming test
Xisuma: Sometimes people in this group say stuff without context, and I have to decipher what they mean
Scott: You’re talking abt Grian, right?
Xisuma: Scott: Guys, I don’t think Red Notice is good for anyone
I rest my blimmin case
--
Grian: Fwhip?
Fwhip: Yes, Grian?
Scott: He sounds too civilised, Fwhip, what did you do?
Grian: Why have you duct taped my stationary to the ceiling?
Scott: Ah there it is
Fwhip: What makes you think I did it?
Grian: Scott would laugh in my face about it, and Xisuma is far too nice for that
Grian: And too tired
Fwhip: Fair point, and I did it bc I wanted to force you to take a break and have a sleepover with us
Grian: I have to work on my project
Fwhip: It’s due in a week
Grian: Exactly!
Scott: Grian, are you alright? You usually leave things until the last couple of days
Grian: Its fine, dw abt it
Xisuma: Grian, we’re not forcing you to talk to us, but we’re letting you know that, as your friends, you can come to us anytime
Xisuma: Are you still in the dorm?
Grian: Yeah
Xisuma: Class just finished omw
Grian: It’s fine Suma, you don’t have to baby me or anything. It’s just been a bit stressful
Xisuma: I do whatever I want
Xisuma: So just sit tight, and I’ll bring the snacks
Scott: I’m almost there too, Grian, you better not run
Grian: I fear for my life every day in this house
--
Grian: If finals don’t kill me
Grian: I will
Grian: Just hand me the gun
Scott: There’s no guns here
Grian: We’re learning how to be admins, and you don’t think I spent hours figuring out how to summon items? Items that most server have banned?
Scott: No yeah I don’t think that
Grian: You’d be correct
--
Fwhip: Pls no one bother me for the next two hours
Grian: No see why would you issue me such a challenge
Scott: I don’t think that’s what he said
Fwhip: No he’s right, I dare you to break in, bet you can’t
Scott: Guys please don’t, we can’t keep up with all of the complaints about you
Grian: YOU NEVER LET ME DO ANYTHING
--
Xisuma: Holy moly it’s finally over
Grian: I want to collapse
Grian: Violently
Scott: I didn’t think there was an end to it ;w;
Fwhip: I miss feeling happy
Grian: Me frfr
Scott: Whatre you guys doing over break?
Grian: I dont have anywhere to go, so Imma just stay in the dorm and chill(?) idk I’ve got concepts of a plan
Fwhip: Ooh new piece of Grian lore guys
Grian: You knew this -.-
Fwhip: I celebrate where I can
Xisuma: I’m staying in the dorms too, I usually go celebrate with my brother, but he’s off somewhere doing something
Scott: Xisuma lore? Now that’s rare
Scott: I personally am heading home to celebrate with my family
Fwhip: When do you leave?
Scott: In like a week, I’m finalizing everything now
Grian: Fwhip, are you doing anything?
Fwhip: Nopeee, I’m a free man
Grian: I’ve decided, Scott goes off and does whatever people with families do for Christmas
Grian: And we, the awesome three, have our own Christmas!
Fwhip: :0
Scott: Grian you literally spent it with your family the first five years of your life
Grian: How do you even know about that
Scott: I get bored sometimes
Grian: What does that mean
Xisuma: Grian: And we, the awesome three, have our own Christmas!
Excellent idea Grian!
Grian: Scott what does that mean
--
Grian: Xisuma, pls come back
Grian: We miss you
Grian: It’s so cold
Grian: I fear I won’t survive this cruel winter
Grian: I fear that everything I did to save you… was in vain
Grian: Every waking moment will be spent wondering, what could I have done more?
Scott: What happened?
Fwhip: Xisuma left our sleep pile to go get cookies
Fwhip: That Grian explicitly asked for
--
Xisuma: Scott pls come back
Scott: Oh lord, what happened?
Xisuma: Grian and Fwhip
Scott: Kinda figured, but what’d they do this time?
Xisuma: That’s the thing
Xisuma: I don’t know
Scott: What
Xisuma: But I can hear them
Xisuma: They’re giggling
Xisuma: I don’t know what they’ve done
Xisuma: And it is frightening
--
Xisuma: So
Xisuma: I figured out what they did
Scott: Oh no
Xisuma: They, in fact, set up a glitter trap in the oven
Scott: How in the world did they manage that
Xisuma: I do not know
Xisuma: But they’ve been grounded
Scott: That does explain the strange silence from them
Scott: How do you look rn? I need to see this
Xisuma: I will abdicate from sending photos at this time, as I am still in shock
Xisuma: But the glitter is red and green
Grian: It’s Christmas themed!
Xisuma: GRIAN
Scott: Oh you better run
Grian: Worth it
--
Grian: MERRY CHRISTMAS
Xisuma: Grian it’s 5 AM
Grian: You literally stayed up with me to watch Christmas movies stfu
Fwhip: Guys, let me sleep for 5 more minutes
Fwhip: Scott, you have a normal sleep schedule so I’ll tell you exactly what’s happening
Fwhip: I fell asleep around 3 AM while we watched some hallmark movie
Fwhip: Grian and Xisuma obviously did not
Fwhip: they then decided that 5 AM was a great time to yell and jump around the room
Fwhip: They’re now sitting quietly in the corner with stupid grins on their stupid faces
Fwhip: I didn’t think you guys even liked Christmas
Fwhip: So yeah, these bastards woke me up
Grian: This is nothing but lies and slander I tell you
--
Scott: Merry Christmas!
Scott: Wait hold on I’ll read
Scott: You guys are so lucky I’m not there
--
Grian: SCOTTTT
Grian: I love it
Grian: Thank you
Scott: Aw, you’re welcome Grian
Fwhip: He didn’t even wait a full minute before he sent that
Grian: Scott actually how did you know?
Scott: It was the only time you actually paid attention in class lmao
Xisuma: Also thank you for mine Scott :D
Scott: You’re very welcome Xisuma
Grian: I think you’re like, psychic
Grian: Knocking these gifts out of the park
Scott: I told you Grian, I pay attention to things
Grian: I didn’t realise it was to this degree
Fwhip: While we’re here, thanks mate
Scott: np Fwhip
Grian: How’d you like ours?
Scott: We actually wait to open them until later in the day, after dinner
Grian: The humanity
--
Grian: We miss you
Scott: I get back in two days
Fwhip: Grian wanted to cook Christmas dinner
Scott: Does he know how to?
Fwhip: As we’ve discovered
Fwhip: No
Fwhip: No he does not
Notes:
Here are the gifts Scott gave everyone:
Grian: Book about building techniques, block pallets, and different building styles
Xisuma: Admin manual about managing and keeping up a world
Fwhip: Small hand carved fantasy figurinesThanks for reading, yes I did in fact look at my own college's schedule for inspo/reference, thank you very much
Chapter 2: Peter, the snail is here
Summary:
Grian isn't allowed to be silly :(
Notes:
Heya, I don't have an excuse, I hope you like, bc I do
I make reference :3
Btwbtwwbtw omg whenever I write for this, I try to make it seem like they talk outside of it during the conversations, making a point to not make them text someone standing with them/not making them say something that doesn't need to be said
Anyways, I'll now get back to working on this programming thing, but I'll get back to writing my other fics on Friday :p
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
Grian: Christmas was too short
Grian: Where go?
Xisuma: Christmas leave :(
Grian: Like everyone does :(
Scott: Can you drama queens get out of bed already
Scott: I made breakfast and I am not missing the first lecture of the day
Grian: Why are you insisting we join you
Xisuma: Last semester you couldn’t have cared less
Fwhip: Scott made us pancakes
Grian: Omw
Xisuma: We’re coming
Fwhip: And he doesn’t want them to get cold
Fwhip: You sent that so fast
Scott: Did you guys sleep in the same room???
--
Grian: This is boring
Grian: When do we actually get to learn admin commands and stuff
Xisuma: Well, learning about how they work, the consequences of negligence and the way worlds are structured is important
Grian: Do you know how hard it is to neglect a world?
Grian: I think the only way to do that, is if you straight up leave for months at a time
Scott: Guys shut up, my phone keeps vibrating and ppl are looking at me
Grian: It’s what you get for being a weirdo
Grian: Who doesn’t put their phone on silent
Fwhip: How do you respond so quickly if it’s on silent
Xisuma: He waits
Scott: He waits?
Xisuma: I know what i said
--
Xisuma: Fwhip
Xisuma: Please tell me that you didn’t eat the last of Grian’s cookies?
Fwhip: Was it the vanilla ones with cream in the middle?
Xisuma: Yes
Fwhip: I think it’s best I don’t incriminate myself further
Grian: Fwhip, I just wanna talk
Fwhip: XISUMA
Fwhip: DID YOU SET ME UP???
Xisuma: It was you or me friend
Fwhip: I’LL REMEMBER THIS
Grian: No, no you won’t
--
Scott: Guys can someone come to the dorm? I need help with math
Grian: Me too
Xisuma: I can help you guys if you come to the library
Fwhip: Didn’t you guys finish in the actual class where we worked on it?
Grian: Not all of us are overachievers
Scott: Some of us were very busy discussing which is better, chocolate or vanilla biscuits
Fwhip: The ones with the cream in between? Or smth wildly different
Grian: Yeah those ones
Fwhip: The vanilla ones, obviously
Grian: HAH
Grian: TAKE THAT SCOTT
Scott: THE CHOCOLATE ONES ARE SUPERIOR
Xisuma: Right, I’ll be waiting in the library
--
Xisuma <3
Grian: Xisuma
Grian: Are you awake?
Xisuma <3: Yeah, you alright?
Grian: Could you come over?
Xisuma <3: Want me to bring anything?
Grian: No it’s alright
Xisuma <3: Nightmare?
Grian: Yeah lol
Grian: God Im so pathetic lmao
Xisuma <3: There’s nothing pathetic about surviving an impossible situation and being haunted by it
Xisuma <3: Now, unlock the door, it’s difficult to carry blankets and text at the same time
--
Grian: Fwhip
Grian: Can you get home quicker?
Grian: I wanna play Overcooked
Fwhip: You’re just gonna yell and scream at me the entire time
Grian: Don’t give me something to yell and scream about, and I won’t :))
Fwhip: You’re mean :(
Grian: It’s not my fault that you keep BURNING OUR FOOD
Fwhip: I WAS CHOPPING THE ONIONS
Grian: WE DIDN’T NEED ANY ONIONS
Grian: NO ONE WANTED ONIONS
Grian: NOW GET BACK TO THE DORM, AND DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME
Fwhip: I wanna go live with mom
Grian: I loved her too, y’know?
--
Xisuma: Note to everyone, don’t play Overcooked with Grian
Xisuma: Note to self, don’t use phone while playing Overcooked with Grian, I’ll get yelled at
--
Scott: Grian, have you finished the hw for today?
Grian: No, I was gonna do it later
Grian: Why??
Fwhip: A dog ate his
Grian: What?
Fwhip: Then it ate mine
Grian: wHAT?
Grian: Where’d you guys even find a dog???
Grian: And how’d it have access to your bags??
Scott: I don’t think there’s anything I can do to save this
Fwhip: There were some visitors today
Fwhip: And one of the families brought their puppy
Grian: You guys got bullied by a puppy
Scott: It was a very vicious puppy!
Grian: What breed was it
Scott: …
Grian: What breed was it Scott?
Fwhip: It was a border collie
Fwhip: Scott just hit me over the head for telling you :(
Grian: LMAO
Grian: You guys got wrecked by a cute little puppy
Scott: You weren’t there!
Fwhip: It was very scary!
Grian: Right, I totally believe you guys
Grian: Mhmhmhm
Fwhip: Oh good
Scott: He’s mocking us Fwhip
Fwhip: Oh
Xisuma: Why is Grian cackling
Xisuma: Oh
Xisuma: I give up
--
Grian: Fwhip I’m bored
Fwhip: Grian it’s 11PM
Grian: Yes?
Scott: What he means is that is when people usually wind down to go to bed
Scott: Just like I was about to
Grian: But it’s so early!
Fwhip: Scott you gotta remember that he usually falls asleep at unreasonable times
Scott: I know that, I just wonder how in the world he manages to wake up at the same time as us
Scott: Like, two days ago, I woke up at 6 and check in on him, he’s out cold
Scott: In his chair but it counts
Scott: I make a coffee and get some cereal, and BOOM he’s there at the table
Fwhip: How do you do that, Grian?
Grian: Oh so now I’m here for this convo -.-
Grian: Always talking abt me istg
Grian: And I think it’s bc I’m just used to waking up at the same times
Scott: Sometimes you make sense
Scott: And I don’t like it
--
Xisuma: Scott?
Xisuma: Have you seen my robe?
Scott: Oh yeah sorry I was using it
Grian: What were you using a robe for?
Fwhip: A bath? He’s cold? There’s a lot of things you could use it for
Grian: Yeah neither of these sound right
Scott: I was using it to act out a scene in which I just found out my husband is cheating on me
Grian: There it is
--
Xisuma: Grian, are you in the dorm?
Grian: Yuhs
Grian: Why?
Xisuma: I wanna watch a movie
Grian: Tough day or?
Xisuma: Yeah, Scott, can you bring snacks?
Scott: Sound good
Fwhip: What’ll my job be, Xisuma? :DDDD
Xisuma: You can set up a cosy area in front of the tv
Grian: Fwhip I’ll come help, just gotta finish typing smth
Xisuma: Grian I want you to know, you are not escaping this cuddle pile until tomorrow
Grian: I’m a bit scared now
Scott: God you two are so emotionally attached
Fwhip: It’s actually pretty admirable
--
Grian: No Scott pls
Scott: I’m sorry Grian, but you need this
Xisuma: Could we get context or are you gonna continue this song and dance?
Scott: I was getting there -.-
Scott: Grian accidentally revealed that he wants to go to the carnival
Grian: No it’s alright, it was just a fantasy
Xisuma: Grian it’s okay to want things
Xisuma: Besides, I also want to go
Grian: Pls don’t feel pressured to
Fwhip: OO are we going to the carnival??? I wanna go
Scott: See? It’s not only for you, so stop worrying abt it
Grian: I hate this family
--
Scott: Grian where tf did you go?
Grian: Can’t catch a single moment alone shaking my smh
Scott: I don’t think that’s the correct way to use that acronym
Xisuma: Grian, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be alone, but one moment you’re holding my hand, and the next you’ve vanished
Grian: Sounds like you guys are just jealous of my incredible magic tricks
Scott: Grian is that you sitting by yourself and eating a churro?
Scott: Yep it’s him, bitch jumped up and looked everywhere around him, somehow missing me
Fwhip: A god amongst men
Xisuma: Preach
Scott: Got himmm
Grian: That actually scared the shit out of me
Grian: Scott has traumatised me, guys, send help
Grian: Scott has hit me, guys, call the police
--
Grian: I would like to announce that I will not be dying anytime soon
Xisuma: Huzzah, the king bestows another blessing
Scott: Mhm, and what brought this on?
Grian: My purchase has arrived
Xisuma: Oh no
Grian: You guys need to have more faith in me
Fwhip: Yeah, what’s he done to warrant that??
Scott: We had to drag him away from his laptop, kicking and screaming, to stop him from purchasing an ungodly amount of pickles
Grian: It was a perfectly acceptable amount!
Fwhip: Idk you guys just sound like haters
Grian: THANK YOU
Fwhip: So what’d you get?
Grian: A snail
Xisuma: Like an actual snail? Just go outside
Grian: No
Grian: He’s better
Grian: :)
Scott: GRIAN
Grian: :))
Xisuma: Oh void what is it??
Scott: THERE’S A BIG ASS SNAIL IN THE LIVING ROOM
Grian: He’s not that big :(
Fwhip: You made Grian sad :(
Scott: IT TAKES UP MORE THAN HALF OF THE COUCH???
Grian: His name is Gary, please be kind
Xisuma: How did you even afford this?
Grian: Lots and lots of saving the allowances from school
Scott: WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE FREAKING OUT
Fwhip: Let the guy live
Xisuma: I think I’m in too much shock Scott, I apologise
Xisuma: I’ll be there in a few
Xisuma: And we’ll freak out together
Grian: What’s the big deal?? I’m keeping him in my room
Fwhip: They’re just hating Grian, it’s okay
Scott: WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE YOU???

Fwhip: Grian your plushie is covering the tv
Grian: Oh that’s where he’s wandered off to
Fwhip: What does that mean??
Scott: He’s prolly just trying to sound ominous
Xisuma: Disregarding that for a second, Grian, have you not stepped out of your room for the entire day???
Grian: It’s not that late
Fwhip: It’s 17
Grian: Holy mackerel you’re right
Fwhip: Why would I lie abt that??
Grian: I’ve yet to figure that part out yet
Xisuma: Did you miss all your classes today??
Grian: No comment
Xisuma: Right, Grian, be dressed and ready to go in 20 minutes, we’re gonna do smth
Grian: Am I allowed to ask what your plan is?
Xisuma: I mean you’ll figure it out rlly quickly when we get there
Fwhip: Scott I think we’re the third wheels
Scott: Have you only just realised that now?
--
Scott: So where’d Xisuma take you Grian?
Grian: We’re going skating :DDD
Fwhip: Lucky bastard ;w;
Scott: We all need to go at one point
Scott: It’d be so fun
Grian: Yesssss
Xisuma: Grian why are you texting rn??
Scott: What, is he not allowed to? _._
Xisuma: No I mean I called him over like three minutes ago, but he didn’t hear me and now he’s just stood still in the middle of the walkway
Xisuma: Alr there we go, ttyl :p
Scott: Godspeed
Fwhip: Imma miss those guys
Fwhip: Yknow
Fwhip: When they go
Scott: It’s an inevitable part of life, Fwhip :(
Fwhip: But I don’t think I’m ready
Scott: It doesn’t matter, we have no say in it anymore
Scott: All we can do is be happy for them
Fwhip: I think you’re right
--
Grian: Guys wtf happened there
--
Scott: Guys class literally starts in like 20 minutes, why am I the only one that's gotten out of bed??
Fwhip: I woke up like 2 minutes ago, I’m omw
Scott: X? Gri?
Xisuma: See, I’d be right there, if I could
Scott: Wdym ‘if you could’
Xisuma: Yknow how with cats, if one lays on you, you mustn’t get up, lest you disturb their slumber?
Scott: Yeah, but we don’t have any pets
Xisuma: Yes, but we do have a Grian
Scott: Oh ffs
Fwhip: Awww, sleepy lil guy
Scott: Wait hold on he needs to wake up too!
Xisuma: But that little face :(
Scott: Right, either you do it, or I do
Xisuma: Okay fine, I’ll do it :(
Fwhip: Why do you keep making our weirdly emotionally attached roommates upset, Scott?
Scott: Maybe those strangely codependent roommates need to learn how to manage their clinginess -.-
Grian: Right this is in no way subtle
Scott: Trust me, it was not supposed to be
--
Grian: What the hell is she talking about?
Grian: I’m so lost
Scott: Grian we're all sat beside each other, why tf are you texting
Grian: Bc then I can ask all of you, instead of only one at a time
Scott: You’ve got Xisuma constantly taking notes, I think you’re good
Grian: Scott he’s drawing a crying cat
--
Xisuma: Have you guys seen Grian?
Scott: Can’t you just message him?
Xisuma: I did, but he hasn’t answered yet
Scott: How long ago did you send it?
Xisuma: Half an hour
Scott: Xisuma
Fwhip: Oh X, honey
Xisuma: Okay you guys act like this is another thing of me just being clingy, but he usually responds within five minutes
Scott: That is true, actually
Fwhip: Is he not in the dorm?
Xisuma: No, I checked everywhere, it was only Gary
Scott: Fucking Gary ;-;
Fwhip: Don’t you curse the name of our lord!
Scott: I do what I want
Xisuma: Guys pls he usually tells me if he plans on not responding for a while
Scott: Alr hold on, I’ll ask some of the ppl in our class, he was at the lecture, right?
Fwhip: Yep
Xisuma: Yeah
Scott: It’ll be fine X, Grian’s very capable
--
Grian: Ahs0aidn aI’m so sorry guys, I got caught up

Grian: Sure??
Fwhip: It’s a tra
Grian: What??

Grian: What’s happening???
Scott: Grian I want you to guess what happened after you left Xisuma on delivered for two hours
Grian: Oh shit
Scott: Yes ‘oh shit’ now get your ass back here, cuddle X, and tell us abt this project
Grian: Sir yes sir
--
Xisuma <3
Grian: I really am sorry
Xisuma <3: Grian, stop, it is not your fault, your phone is literally on silent
Grian: Yeah but I still hate that I left you like that
Xisuma <3: Don’t worry abt it, reckon they’re asleep?
Grian: Probably?
Xisuma <3: Roof?
Grian: Yess :D

Fwhip: Whoever packed away my puzzle last night
Fwhip: I just wanna talk
Scott: I know better
Xisuma: I wouldn’t trust myself to
Scott: Grian?
Grian: Gary did it
Fwhip: Gary
Fwhip: The giant not-alive snail plushie?
Grian: Don’t think there’s many others
Fwhip: I want you to know, I vouch for that snail whenever I can, think this through carefully
Grian: I’m so sorry
Fwhip: Thank you
Fwhip: Now get out here and help me redo it
--
Scott: WAS NO ONE GONNA TELL ME THAT OUR DORM IS HAVING A CAKE PARTY??
Grian: THERE’S A CAKE PARTY???
Fwhip: WHAT
Xisuma: Guys there’s a poster for it outside of our door
Xisuma: It’s been there for weeks
--
Fwhip: Scott? Xisuma? We’re in a bit of a conundrum, so to speak
Scott: Right, shovel, tissues, knife, lighter, or cookies?
Fwhip: What?
Scott: Always good to be prepared, what’s going on?
Fwhip: See I was out with Grian
Scott: As one does
Fwhip: As one does, exactly
Fwhip: And I asked for his phone bc he’s got the directions to the coffee place
Scott: Mhmhm
Fwhip: And when I looked up, he’s kind of sort of vanished?
Xisuma: Excuse me?
Scott: You lost Grian???
Xisuma: You guys aren't on campus??
Xisuma: I thought this was a local place!
Fwhip: Well, it started out that way, but someone told us abt this rlly cool place in town that sells amazing coffee, and gave us directions
Fwhip: And now I’ve lost him
Scott: And he hasn't got a phone, this is priceless
Fwhip: So yeah just alerting you guys to that while I search for him
Xisuma: Why would he just walk away????
Scott: He wanders X, y'know how he is, there was prolly a cute dog and Grian lost sight of Fwhip
Fwhip: There actually was a very cute dog, but we’d pet it already
Xisuma: Guys why am I the only properly freaked out one here???
Scott: Do you get deju vu?
Fwhip: We rlly have come far from how we started out
Fwhip: Anyways, I’m off to find a stray Grian
Xisuma: This is why I told you we need those location tracking apps
Scott: And just like back then, I’ll seriously consider it before shutting you down

Fwhip: I have found the Grian
Xisuma: Why is he like this?
Grian: Sorry, it kinda comes with the package, afraid it’s too late to cancel
Scott: No matter how hard we try
Grian: Listen, in my defense, there was an adorable cat
Xisuma: OF COURSE THERE WAS
Scott: So I was like, eerily close there
Grian: You know me so well :3
--
Grian: Let’s think of a hypothetical, for a second
Grian: And let’s say that I
Grian: Or someone
Grian: Like
Grian: Broke a law
Scott: Oh dear void
Fwhip: Surprised you held on for a whole semester tbh
Xisuma: Yeah I’m actually disappointed that it took this long
Grian: Yeah yeah we get it, you have no faith -.-
Fwhip: It’s not so much about having faith, it’s more that you don’t exactly respect authority
Grian: Y’know what, I’m accepting that explanation, nice job
Fwhip: Thank you, your highness
Scott: Hold on, you’re not getting off scot-free, what’d you do??
Grian: Hypothetically, you mean?
Scott: Whatever rocks your boat
Grian: Yeah I accidentally blew up an abandoned warehouse
--
Scott: Fwhip?
Fwhip: Yes Scott?
Grian: Why do we constantly use this gc just to message like, one person, it’s happened so so often, I think if someone other than us was reading this, they’d think we were dumb as hell
Scott: I left my pencil case at the library, do you think you could bring it back with you later today?
Xisuma: You’re so right, actually, sometimes I wonder if Scott even has my phone number. I’ve called him once and he answered with ‘who the hell is this??’, it was like, late last semester too
Fwhip: Oh no yeah ofc, I’ll prolly leave in a few hours. We could go get dinner tonight? All of us?
Grian: Like, you’re all like my best friends, and I want all of us to have a bond, but I’m just constantly doubting if it’s just one-sided or not
Scott: Ohhh yeah that sounds good, thai?
Xisuma: I understand completely, it’s like your mind is trying to trick you, discount and downplay your friendships, but I want you to know, forever and ever, I, and hopefully the others, will be there for you. Sleet and storm, the highs and the lows
Fwhip: Ehh, I’m not rlly feeling thai rn, we had that like two days ago, italian?
Grian: I appreciate it X, I don’t think I’d have made it this far without you, to be honest, you pick me up when I don’t find the strength to, and you support me where my spirit fails
Scott: Italian sounds good, leave at like 7? 8?
Xisuma: I will always be there to do just that, as you have done for me time and time again. A comfort and a voice of reason in my murkiest of moments, a buoy in the storm
Fwhip: Let’s go halfway and say 7:30?
Grian: Where would we be without each other?
Scott: Sound good!
Xisuma: I don’t want to entertain the thought of that universe. Wouldn’t be able to bear it
--
Scott: Guys I’m reading that back, we do sound stupid and/or insane
Grian: Kinda wanted to see how long it’d go
Xisuma: Answer was longer than we were comfortable with
Grian: We will now go hide in our cave to re-gather our spilled emotions, farewell friends
Fwhip: Oh the creatures that they are
Scott: God I miss having normal friends
Fwhip: Aren’t you gay??
--
Scott:Whoever decided that it was a good idea to listen to emo music at 3 AM, shut the fuck up or so help me god
Fwhip: It’s not me, def X and Grian
Scott: I will actually go kick down your guys’ door
Scott: We have neighbors
Grian: You wouldn’t understand us Scott
Xisuma: This darkness inside us, it’s… something you can’t fathom
Scott: Did you just type ellipses?
Grian: See! He doesn’t get it…
Scott: Weren’t you fine earlier tonight???
Scott: ALSO TURN THAT DOWN OMG
Xisuma: We thought so too…
Grian: But then…
Xisuma: The Incident
Grian: The Incident
Scott: Right, so you very much planned that
Fwhip: Scott I’m so tired, pls break down their door
Scott: Yeah alr hold on
Fwhip: HOLY FUCK DID YOU ACTUALLY DO IT????
Fwhip: I WAS JOKING
Fwhip: GUYS PLS ANSWER I DON'T WANNA GET OUT OF BED
Fwhip: WHY’S GRIAN SCREAMING
Fwhip: Ah dang, Imma miss that guy
--
Grian: I’m sorry, I die and your response is ‘ah dang’
Fwhip: It’s okay, I forgive you

Grian: Eyyyyyy sorry abt that guys
Scott: You’re supposed to be resting -.-
Grian: I am resting
Grian: Laying in bed, and scrolling on my phone
Fwhip: Are you sure you don’t want to nap again?
Grian: Fwhip, if I’m forced to go sleep again, I think I’d actually jump out the window, not even kidding
Scott: Xisuma make sure he doesn’t jump out the window
Xisuma: Believe me I’m trying
Xisuma: Istg if he had wings, we’d never see him again
Grian: Don’t go giving the gods any ideas
Scott: Watch me
--
Grian: Can everyone just stay out of the dorm for a bit?
Scott: Give me a good reason, and I will
Fwhip: yeah Imma need a good reason
Grian: Do I have to?
Xisuma: Yep
Grian: Alright, but I want you to remember
Grian: It’s not really my fault
Scott: Oh my god, what did you do???
Grian: I set the couch on fire
Grian: Guys?
Scott: GRIAN
Fwhip: WHAT THE FUCK
Xisuma: Are you alright????
Grian: I mean I’m like, sort of alright???
Scott: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
Scott: WHAT HAPPENED?????
Grian: Okay, well, I wanted to bake cookies for you guys
Scott: DID WE FORGET TO BAN HIM FROM THE KITCHEN???
Fwhip: HE NEVER GAVE US A VALID REASON TO
Grian: Anyways
Grian: I may have forgotten, and when I check the oven again, smoke is pouring out, and I can see that the cookies are on fire
Grian: I panic, open the oven, can almost feel the flames lick my face, grab the tray with a washcloth bc I lost the oven mitt
Grian: The tray wouldn’t fit in the kitchen sink, so in a moment of genius, I think of the shower
Grian: I run over to the bathroom, but I trip, spilling all of the still-on-fire cookies on the couch, and falling with them
Xisuma: I’m in shock
Scott: It just kept getting worse
Fwhip: The shower????
Grian: Listen, it hurts to type, bc turns out dry washcloths aren’t very good choices to handle hot pans with
Xisuma: Did you get hurt anywhere else?
Grian: No it was mostly on my hands
Grian: I did land on the fire, but it rlly just hurt my hands more
Scott: I think I need to get back into drinking
Fwhip: Fuck take me with you
Xisuma: Gri, I’m on the way, I do not trust you to handle this alone ;w;
Grian: Considering the things above
Grian: Valid
--
Grian: WHERE’S GARY??
Grian: WHO DID IT
Grian: WHO HAS A DEATHWISH
Scott: Me
Fwhip: I do
Xisuma: Still figuring that one out
Grian: God you’re all so depressed
Xisuma: That may be one of the more hypocritical things you’ve said
Grian: WHATEVER
Grian: WHERE’S MY SON???
Scott: We just took a lil trip
Grian: SCOTT
Grian: I WILL SET YOUR BEGONIA’S ON FIRE
Scott: You wouldn’t
Grian: YOU’RE RIGHT
Grian: BUT THE THREAT IS THERE
Grian: WHY DO YOU HAVE MY SON????
Scott: I got bored
Scott: So we’re at a movie
Grian: WHICH ONE
Scott: Why does that matter??
Grian: I NEED TO KNOW IF IT’S APPROPRIATE FOR THIS AGE
Scott: Paddington 2
Grian: ALRIGHT
Grian: BRING HIM BACK BY 9
--
Scott: If I ever, in my life, have to analyse block palettes again, it’ll be too soon
Grian: I wanted to die
Fwhip: Well there’s nothing new

Final exams are tough, they cope
Notes:
Well, it's been a bit of a while, I'm so sorry. I've had this half written for like a month
I love Grian, the amount of times I've accidentally written something that makes it seem like he's actually hurt by the situation, is rapidly ticking up. I'm censoring the guy
Btw thank you guys for 1k hits!
Hope you enjoy!
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
Grian: It’s a horrid feeling to look up from your phone to deafening quiet and everyone working on something on their laptops
Scott: Were you not listening at all???
Grian: Scott, I’m not feeling very supported rn
Xisuma: Why are you guys texting in class?
Xisuma: You’re sat beside each other
Grian: Why are you texting in class?
Grian: You’re sat beside me
Xisuma: Fair point, continue
Grian: I didn’t wanna disturb the guys below us
Grian: They shushed me once and I’m still mortified
Scott: That’s valid tbh
Grian: Thanks, Scott
Scott: But yeah we’re just doing today’s exercises
Grian: Thank you Scott :))))

Grian: It’s been an actual hour tho, so we should probably get him down, now
Xisuma: Probably
Scott: Maybe

Xisuma: Xisuma: Is Grian asleep?
Is he??
Scott: Hold on
Scott: Holy dooly yeah, how’d you know?
Xisuma: He’s been ‘typing’ for an hour now and there’s no way he stopped to think about what to say
Fwhip: There’s no one here who has any faith in him
Fwhip: I’ve realised
--
Grian: I’ve done nothing to warrant this
Scott: We’ve got a list
Grian: I think you’re bluffing, actually
Xisuma: 1. Grian is late to a hangout he himself organized
Grian: :(
--
Fwhip: Have you guys finished the programming homework yet??
Grian: I was gonna do it after class
Fwhip: Samee
Fwhip: Study together?
Grian: mhmhm
Xisuma: Grian, you told me you’d finished
Grian: I didn’t want you to be disappointed :(
Xisuma: I think disappointed would be one of the last emotions I’d feel, in that situation
Xisuma: Do you guys want help?
Fwhip: We’ll be fineee
Xisuma: What do you think you need to do for nr 2?
Grian: Like, a class and function thing
Xisuma: Right, omw
Grian: Fwhip, are we children?
Fwhip: I believe so, Grian
--
Grian: The day you guys realise just how much better you are, than me, is the day I learn how to code a gun

Scott: I think Grian’s missing being able to eat
Grian: I’m not a child
Scott: Just let us take care of you, and hush, alr love?
Grian: Bring a kit kat :(

Scott: Oh this cruel world
--
Grian: How mad would you guys be if I dropped out
Scott: Where would you even go???
Grian: Answer the question???
Scott: I mean I wouldn’t be that upset
Scott: I’d just go visit you in your box under the bridge
Grian: Maybe I’ll go back to my original world
Xisuma: For all of our sakes I’m hoping not
--
Xisuma: Programming final tomorrow!
Grian: Why are you so excited?
Xisuma: I’m not, just trying not to have a panic attack about it
Grian: I’ll find you
Xisuma: Any other day, that would terrify me
--
Grian: I think I bombed that
Grian: Genuinely
Scott: I think I did alright
Xisuma: I actually knew a lot more than I thought I did
Fwhip: Guys how did question 4 go for you?
Scott: Which one was that?
Fwhip: We had to link two classes and use stuff from them or something
Scott: Oh yeah that one, I thought it was pretty easy
Fwhip: No yeah me too I swear
--
Scott: Xisuma, tell me why Grian is sulking on the couch
Xisuma: How would I know?
Scott: Xisuma, there’s a time and a place
Xisuma: I actually don’t know!
Scott: Fwhip?
Fwhip: Why don’t you just ask him??
Scott: I tried and he hurled a pillow at me
Scott: My pride is wounded
--
Grian: The store stopped selling my favourite energy drink
Grian: The world must burn
--
Scott: Fwhip we’re ordering pizzas, what do you want
Fwhip: The meat festival one, pepperoni, ham, and minced meat
Grian: Vegetarians fear your power
--
Grian: Xisuma, I require assistance
Grian: I’ve forgotten how to do the math things we did week 4 and 5
Xisuma: Idk what we did in specific weeks, but bring your textbook
Grian: To the library
Xisuma: To the library yes
Scott: No pls I’m studying there
Fwhip: What’s that got to do with anything?
Scott: They make me feel a specific type of alone
Scott: And we can’t have that
Fwhip: Scott, we see couples all the time
Grian: What’s this about couples????
Scott: At least those guys admit it, Fwhip
--
Fwhip: Those guys across the hall suck
Fwhip: Genuinely
Grian: What’d they do this time?
Fwhip: They’ve left like 4 trash bags outside the door
Fwhip: It’s those big ones, too
Grian: We could break into their dorm and replace all of their stuff with trash?
Scott: Pretty sure they’ve already done that to themselves
Xisuma: That’d also be breaking the law
Grian: Like that’s stopped us before
Xisuma: ‘Us’??
Scott: Grian, stop talking
Grian: Sir yes sir
Xisuma: Guys, what’d you do???
--
Xisuma <3
Xisuma <3:Scott and Fwhip are having a study night with some ppl from our floor, think it’s for the assignment for tmrw
Xisuma <3 : You’re done, right?
Grian: Yeah! Pretty proud, actually, took a while
Xisuma <3: Do you wanna come to my room and watch movies?
Grian: Well, do you have snacks?
Xisuma <3: Of course
Grian: Be right there
--
Scott: I think we’ve made a mistake, Fwhip, I can sense a shift in the air
Fwhip: I’m sat across from you
Fwhip: But yes, I believe we have
Scott: I don’t know what your seat has to do with this, but I’m proud of you
Fwhip: I give up on this family
Notes:
I love rambling
This was fun
Desperately hoping this fic isn't one of those fics that make you roll your eyes bc the author is trying so hard to be funny, totally not projecting what??
Anyways, thanks for reading!
Chapter 6: Oh my god, I'm gonna die next Monday??

Enjoy!

Scott: Xisuma, how attached were you to that hat you left laying on the coffee table 6 months ago
Xisuma: Not that much
Xisuma: What’d you do?
Scott: Nothing dw abt it
Xisuma: No see the issue is that I am now worrying about it
Scott: Why
Scott: You have no reason to
Scott: In other news, our coffee table is no longer on fire
--
Grian: Well, half of this gc has now set something in our dorm on fire
Scott: Too soon Grian, too soon
Grian: You bullied me about the couch the day after
Grian: I think I’m entitled to some compensation
Fwhip: You accepted responsibility for the couch and paid for it, a bit too late to have a change of heart now
Grian: Fwhip, I don't expect you to understand, you’ll get it when you’re older
Fwhip: There is a singular year between us
Grian: And what a difference that year makes
--
Xisuma: Fwhip why is there a wanted poster of you in the school cafeteria
Grian: Well it’s about time
Fwhip: What??
Fwhip: I've literally done nothing
Grian: Suma could you send a photo
Xisuma: Sent an attachment
Fwhip: Well damn
Scott: At least they got your good side
Fwhip: I’ve entered the cafeteria multiple times. What's going on??
Grian: I think you should go check it out
Fwhip: Alr X hold on omw

Fwhip: Xisuma, where did you go??
Fwhip: There’s no poster??
Xisuma: April fools!
Grian: April fools
Fwhip: You will rue this day
--
Grian: Where’re you guys?
Scott: Xisuma and I went to go get ice cream, think Fwhip is on his way up
Grian: And you didn’t invite me??
Grian: Betrayal of the highest calibre
Xisuma: I didn’t think you wanted any!
Grian: Suma! How dare you!
Xisuma: I thought you just ate!
Grian: I didn’t! I haven’t even eaten today!
Grian: Shame on you
Scott: Fwhip, you know what to do
Fwhip: Why’s it always me
Grian: What
Scott: Because apparently he won’t do it himself
Grian: Ah
Grian: Guys I just forgot, I'll do it later, Im studying rn
Scott: Too late
Grian: Well damn :(
--
Scott: Oh my good lord
Grian: WE DID IT
Grian: IT’S OVER
Fwhip: I’m just surprised we all survived that
Grian: Me too! The amount of times I threatened suicide was staggering
Xisuma: I lost count of how often Scott walked up to me and started talking about his grand plan, which consisted of all of us running away into the forest, never to be seen again
Grian: He did that to you too??
Fwhip: Hold on, @Scott why wasn’t I included in your escape from society??
Scott: The weak must be culled
--
Xisuma: @Grian, you love me and would never wish me harm, right?
Grian: What’d you do
Scott: What kind of accusation is that??
Grian: The last time he said that, he and Fwhip had accidentally broken my door
Grian: I feel like my response was warranted
Xisuma: Well now I don’t want to continue
Scott: You promised to tell him, it’s too late now
Grian: Guys pls what
Xisuma: I may have
Xisuma: ACCIDENTALLY, mind you
Xisuma: Spilled hot cocoa all over your bed
Grian: Why were you in my bed????
Xisuma: God forbid a man has hobbies
Grian: I’m not paid enough to deal with this
Xisuma: :(

Xisuma
Scott: Hello Xisuma
Xisuma: Hi?
Scott: Couldn’t help but notice that you were carrying something when you got back to the dorm
Xisuma: Yeah, my bag?
Xisuma: Scott what’s going on??
Scott: Nothing, nothing, guess the flowers you were holding were just my imagination
Xisuma: Scott it’s not what you think
Scott: So you’re not buying them for Grian and pretending it's because he did well on his exams?
Xisuma: Okay so maybe it’s exactly what you think
Xisuma: Please don’t say anything
Xisuma: Or imply anything
Scott: Damn, covering all your bases
Scott: Dw, this is more fun

Grian: Xisuma

Grian: Can’t believe that this is how I realise that you HATE ME
--
Grian: Xisuma :(

Scott: Maybe he’s busy?
Grian: The audacity
--
Xisuma: Hi Grian

Xisuma: I’m sorry, my phone died
Grian: No
Xisuma: Grian
Grian: Blocked
Xisuma: Grian pls
Grian: Making me look ridiculous
Xisuma: Yes it was definitely me that did that
Grian: You can’t grovel and be sassy, pick one and stick to it, you bastard
Xisuma: You’re right I’m sorry
Grian: I get to pick the movie for tonight
Grian: And the snacks
Xisuma: :0
Xisuma: You bastard
Grian: Do you want me to pick the next one too???
Grian: That’s what I thought
Scott: You guys make me feel sane
Grian: I’m okay with that
--
Scott: Would you guys still love me if I was a snail?
Fwhip: Depends on the state of your shell
Grian: Pretty sure that’s not the way the question goes
Xisuma: I don’t think so?? Idk how well other ppl would take it if I told them that one of my closest friends is a snail
Grian: Pretty sure that’s not the way the question goes
Scott: Stop being such a hater and answer the question
Grian: Fine
Grian: No
Scott: :(
Grian: Now, a worm on the other hand…
--
Fwhip: Scott are you going back home for the summer?
Scott: Not the entire time, but yeah
Scott: I leave in 2 weeks
Scott: Why? Want a ride or smth?
Fwhip: Oh no, no reason, at all, actually
Scott: You guys make me regret having a healthy home life
Grian: Wowww, no need to flex on us
Scott: I don’t need this energy in my life
Scott: Blocking you all as soon as I leave
--
Fwhip: Who would you guys be in a horror movie?
Grian: Like specific characters?
Fwhip: Roles/tropes, like the main character and the antagonist
Xisuma: The character that dies specifically so that the mc’s take the situation seriously
Scott: the character you hate at first bc of how mean they are, but start liking bc they’re literally the only smart one
Grian: Either the character that doesn’t believe anything that’s happening and dies bc of it, or the hidden mastermind of the whole thing, can’t decide
Xisuma: Both, probably, excellent plot twist
Scott: We’ve got a box office hit guys
Fwhip: How long have you guys spent cooking that up
Fwhip: But yeah I’m definitely the guy that hits all the relevant death flags but defies the odds and survives, somehow
Fwhip: “When we get out of here… I think I’m gonna go to college”
Xisuma: “Hey, in case anything happens, take this pendant I had on me, for some reason, it’s been in my family for generations”
Grian: “If I survive this, I’m going to tell them how I feel”
Scott: We’ve got some banging character ideas guys
--
Grian: Don’t crash and die
Scott: Grian, it’s a portal
Grian: Oh
Grian: Don’t turn into spaghetti
Scott: Thanks
--
Grian: I miss him already
Scott: Aww Grian
Grian: What?
Grian: Ah
Grian: I’ll correct myself
Grian: I miss Gary already
Scott: Should’ve blocked you ages ago
Grian: He’s in the wash!
