this might be really long (+ multiple chapters) but oh well. i just really wanted them to have a group chat. and i've rediscovered that i have the power to do that so yea, i'm going to be doing it!
SOME NOTES:
➢ if  message not sent ! appears, it means they've typed it out but didn't send it.
➢ pls pay attention to the times! i'm not putting them for all messages, so when i do, pls notice them!
➢ their real names are their contact names. you can add nicknames to their contacts but it won't change their contact name. so when a "__ kicked __ out of the chat" pops up, it uses their contact names, not the nicknames. this also goes for single-messaging. their contact names will be their chat name, but inside the chat, they use the nickname.

(if that made sense,) enjoy!

Lauren has made a group chat with Peter and Gally !

Lauren named the chat "The Fantastic Three" !

No

the fact that you don't add
punctuation to your senates

makes it so hard to see if
that's a defensive, angry or
confused no

Could you just add me back
in the groupchat please

sure
Lauren ♡:

You:
Fine.
You:
Please?

Lauren ♡:
woah there, that's two punctuations
Lauren ♡:
someone might think you'll add
them to all of your sentences

You:
That someone would be wrong

Lauren ♡:
well then, you might have to find
a new way in

I hate you

GALLY'S BEEN ACTING STRANGE

You:

Special Bean Laur:
sorry not sorry, caps lock

You:

Special Bean Laur:
he literally got so defensive
(i think)
Special Bean Laur:
because he sent me "no i don't"
Special Bean Laur:
in response to "you don't hate me"

You:
that's cap, he doesn't use
punctuation 🥱

Special Bean Laur:

You:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THIS WAS ACTUALLY SO MUCH FUN TO MAKE—

i think the most fun was creating all of the character's texting personality, tbh

gally's the grandpa with the no punctuation (and/or knowledge) and doesn't have his auto-cap off

lauren's got a strong meme game, also has auto-cap off, and doesn't capitalize anything

and peter needs emojis to convey meaning for anything and everything he says
he also capitalizes important things

but I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
and we're going to have at least one more chapter bc i need to include something very important i hinted at in this chapter

see if you can guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
