Family Disappointments
Amy has added Summer, Kenzie and Finn to the group chat
Amy: So sorry guys! We meant to add you to the gc when you first joined, but then all the drama with Angela happened, so here we are
Kenzie: Amy chill! It's fine
Summer: I'm more concerned about the name of the chat anyway
Piper: Best not to question it, I think it was...West (?) that did it this time
Summer: How many people are here???
Noah: Considering this is the a-troupe chat that has everyone that's joined in the last 5 years or so, around 30+
Lola: Be warned, everyone pretty much is on crack the entire time
Amy: Perfect timing. New peeps, this is Lola, she was on the team that made the qualifier video for Regionals
Lola: Yeah, my mom ended up getting a new job in Paris, so we had to move there after everything. So nice to meet you all tho :)))
Richelle: She's so sweet it will make your teeth rot, so ig you'll get on with her Summer
Lola: You love me really
Richelle: Sure sure...
Noah: I'd say take it Lola, it's the most you're ever gonna get out of her
Richelle: Piss off, you!
Heather: Okay, why was it as soon as I quit working at Neutral Grounds that they turned into a milkshake parlour?!
Heather: That sounds so much more fun to work at!
Ozzy: They also have board games too, which is great...if only I knew how to play them
Piper: I'm partial to darts
Heather: That sounds ominous
Finn: It's because instead of a board she decides to use me as a target
Josh: SHE WHAT???
Piper: Pipe down
Piper: They were ball-darts, not the sharp kind, unfortunately...
Finn: UNFORTUNATELY???
Amy: These are Heather and Josh btw guys. As Heather said, she used to work as Neutral Grounds, which was the cafe under the studio a few months ago
Heather: It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life
Richelle: In a coffee shop?
Heather: Why don't you go work in customer service and see if you still think I'm being overdramatic?
Heather: I'm studying Law now in college anyway, and Josh is my roommate
Josh: Anything was better than still living with my parents
Amy: Awe parents. Don't we just hate them?
Piper: Are any of our parents actually good at, you know, parenting???
Henry: My two moms are fine. Which I guess is why we all usually either hangout at my or Richelle's place
Richelle: Don't have to worry about shitty parents if they're never around
Zara: Are you all good? I just came back from my physics lecture to find this
Jacquie: And here everyone is the Math nerd of the group, ZARA!
Zara: She says as if she doesn't rant about anything to do with chemistry when we have our weekly video-calls
Ozzy: Everyone's a nerd about something
Richelle: That can't be true
Ozzy:
You and Noah = Dance
Piper = Literature
Amy = Circuses/Clowns/Mimes
Henry = Art
Myself = Gaming
Kingston = Acting
Jacquie = Chemistry
Lola = Skipping-Ropes
Zara = Math
Josh = Ice-Skating
Heather = Murder Mysteries
Summer = Botany
Kenzie = Baking
Finn = Aquatic Animals
Piper:...I feel really called out right now
Kenzie: Wait, why skipping-ropes???
Lola: Because they're fun, you get to bounce around and be active!
Lola: I will not apologise
Richelle: Yeah, I made the mistake of asking the same question once
Finn: I'm more interested to learn that Josh does ice-skating
Josh: Yeah, it was actually how I first got into dance. I was able to use the ice-rink whenever I finished practice at hockey
Josh: I kept it on after I left the studio cause it was similar to both dance and hockey, cause I still liked the sport, but my family had just ruined it for me
Kenzie: I'm sensing a-lot of bullshit "guys that dance are gay" vibes
Josh: Yep, you'd be correct. Didn't help when they caught me with a guy once when I thought they'd be out
Piper: It's times like this we are all glad that all of us are queer
Zara: Who was even the last cishet person to join that team???
Piper: Alfie, I think? Though, he came to visit, sadly, a couple months ago. There were some weird vibes going on between him and Daniel
Noah: Yeah, I think they hooked up when Daniel came to Internationals
Piper: So, I may stand corrected
Finn: Does anyone have a list if that is alright or?...
Ozzy:
Noah = Trans + Bi
Richelle = Bi + Ace
Piper = Lesbian
Amy = Queer
Henry = Bi
Jacquie = Pan
Myself = Bi
Kingston = Pan
Lola = Lesbian
Zara = Aromantic (not ace)
Josh = Gay
Heather = Pan
Summer = Lesbian
Kenzie = Bi
Finn = Gay
Richelle: Why TF have you just started making these organised lists???
Ozzy: Because Kingston is studying atm and I'm booooooooooored!
Kingston: Correction, I'm trying to study and you are pestering me
Henry: The boyfriends are fighting
Ozzy: Not fighting. Just wanting mine to stop for at-least a few minutes, since he hasn't had a break in several hours
Kingston: I have a test this week! I need to ace this or else.
Noah: Kingston-
Kingston:...Fine MOM! I'm stopping for a few minutes ig
Kenzie: Oh, so we're all in agreement that Noah's the mom of the group?
Josh: Is he cool with us saying that tho?
Noah: Yeah, I know you don't mean it in a gendered way. Just a way that makes me want to slap you all!
Richelle: GASP! OUR MOM HAS BECOME ABUSIVE TO US
Noah: Rich, I swear to fuck-
West: Sorry the rest of us were busy, but what have you A-Troupers been up to?
Richelle:...I think it's time to stop texting for the rest of the day
