Santos

 

Well happy new year, and commiserations to our current losers

 

Kim

 

Donnie 😂😂

 

McKay

 

Dana currently has three days left on her week

 

Will it happen?

 

Will it not?

 

Stay tuned and find out

 

Donnie

 

Why do I get the laughing faces?

 

Santos

 

Because you were so sure you’d get Hanukkah

 

Donnie

 

Well when I put 50 bucks down I wasn’t expecting Abbot to ask Mohan to move in with him that same week

 

And I definitely wasn’t expecting Whitaker’s dad to 💀

 

Javadi

 

Classy

 

McKay

 

I still can’t believe they got through Christmas without proposing or moving in together

 

Mohan

 

They need to sort their shit out

 

Langdon

 

Genuinely forgot this bet was a thing

 

Still a non interference thing?

 

Javadi

 

Correct

 

And that includes all losers

 

McKay

 

I lost my $20

 

I have no stakes in this now

 

Kim

 

Yeah I’m content to watch

 

Donnie

 

I’m still holding out hope for a courthouse wedding reveal

 

Dana

 

Not a chance

 

They’re gonna make it everyone’s problem when they start planning that wedding.

 

Princess

 

If they get their heads out of their asses I can have them decked out in tuxes and down the isle in ten days

 

Donnie

 

So just in time for your window then?

 

Princess

 

You know it

 

Abbot

 

I have no idea why I took part in this

 

Samira

 

Because I told you to

 

Abbot

 

I knew there was a good reason 😊

 

Santos

 

Whipped

 

Abbot

 

😢

Dennis

 

Text Jack and see if he’s alright

 

Robby

 

Rough case?

 

Dennis

 

Nah all good, stupid drunk people but nobody died

 

Think it’s either a Santos or a Samira thing

 

He’s walking around like a kicked puppy

 

Robby

 

And those are the two people you think would make him look like that?

 

Dennis

 

Either Samira said no to whatever they get up to

 

(not even mentioning the words because I do not need to think about that)

 

Or Trin called him old

 

Robby

 

You call him old all the time

 

Dennis

 

Yeah but he knows what we get up to so he takes that as a compliment

 

Robby

 

So you don’t want to think about Jack and Samira but you’re fine with him thinking about us

 

Dennis

 

I’m sorry, who got me a camera for Christmas?

 

Robby

 

It is not for that!

 

Although…

 

Dennis

 

Down boy

 

Robby

 

Is it really my fault that I’m thinking about all the possibilities of the things I could do to you while I’m in bed all alone 😢

 

Dennis

 

It’s one night shift, control yourself

 

Robby

 

Sent 1 image

 

You really want me to control myself baby?

 

Dennis

 

Lena said you should consider manscaping

 

Robby

 

DENNIS!

 

Dennis

 

I’m kidding, but what did we say about workplace sexting

 

Robby

 

I think you were of the opinion that it was only ok for you to rile me up

 

Dennis


Correct

 

Just a few more hours, then I’m all yours

 

Robby

 

Yeah because I’m really going to do all the things I want to do to you in a supply closet

 

Dennis

 

🤷🏼‍♂️

Are you dying?

 

Trin Trin

 

Yes

 

Of boredom

 

Huckster

 

A trip to the ER is not the cure for that

 

Also how are you bored at Mel’s?

 

Trin Trin

 

Because she’s all over Langdon

 

And Vic is dead

 

Huckster

 

Say what now?

 

 Trin Trin

 

Not DEAD dead

 

Spiritually

 

The soul of the party has left her body

Huckster

 

Again with the marriage?

 

Do you have money on this or something?

Javadi (Bitches I’m legal now)

 

I feel like this is a safe space

 

Langdone with this shit

 

Oh I feel like this is gonna be good

 

Javadi (Bitches I’m legal now)

 

Maybe it’s just that I was brought up sheltered or something

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

 

Definitely gonna be good

 

Javadi (Bitches I’m legal now)

 

But surely there are just some things that should not go on a human body

 

Dennis the menace

 

Oh this a TRB?

 

Langdone with this shit

 

The fuck is a TRB??

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

 

Tattoo related breakdown

 

Keep up

 

Dennis the menace

 

Honestly man

 

Javadi (Bitches I’m legal now)

 

Santos you have tattoos, why?

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

 

I wanted them

 

End of explanation

 

Javadi (Bitches I’m legal now)

 

Ok but they all have some sort of meaning right? Like even the littlest bit of meaning?

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

 

Oh yeah

 

Some are a lot more meaningful than others

 

Wait, am I the only one in this chat with tattoos?

 

Langdone with this shit

 

No

 

Mel

 

No

 

Dennis the menace

 

Nope

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

Langdon?

 

Mel?

 

HUCKLEBERRY?

 

Mel

 

Oh I meant that Frank has one

 

Langdone with this shit

Dennis the menace

Langdone with this shit

 

🤨

 

How would you know about my tattoo

 

Dennis the menace

 

Mel

 

Mel

 

I don’t think so

 

Langdone with this shit

 

Whitaker.

 

Do you have a tattoo?

 

Dennis the menace

 

 …

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

 

WHAT?

 

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS??

 

Dennis the menace

 

Ok it’s not a big deal

 

Or a big tattoo

 

Can we get back to Vic’s thing?

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

 

Temporarily paused. Vic, what did it say?

 

Javadi (Bitches I’m legal now)

 

It was a tramp stamp

 

Dennis the menace

 

Don’t knock tramp stamps

 

Langdone with this shit

 

Does Whitaker have a tramp stamp??

 

Dennis the menace

 

No he does not.

 

What did the tramp stamp say?

 

Javadi (Bitches I’m legal now)

 

Please flip me over

 

Dennis the menace

 

Wow

 

Langdone with this shit

Did you get matching tattoos?

 

Dennis the menace

 

Jesus no

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

 

Hey, you and the old man are weird, it could happen

 

Dennis the menace

 

Don’t call him old

 

Langdone with this shit

 

Yeah don’t call Robby old

 

He’s ancient

 

Dennis the menace

 

Just because the wrapper is wrinkled it doesn’t mean the candy isn’t sweet

 

Mel

 

Huh?

 

Javadi (Bitches I’m legal now)

 

How did this get onto candy?

You started waxing poetry about Garcia

 

She then confiscated your phone

 

We agreed to delete it

Huckster

 

Honesty?

Pretty sure there is money on a proposal

 

Robby

 

And your first thought is to fuck with them?

 

Not to…

 

I don’t know…

 

Talk to me?

Do you want people benefitting from our happiness?

Samira the snoop

 

Why is Robby rubbing his face like he just got told he can’t say the word Jewish because it’s offensive to other religions?

 

Dennis the menace

 

That’s on me

 

Santons (I don’t need a nickname)

 

This a fight or just you being insufferable?

 

Dennis the menace

 

I am not insufferable

 

Langdone with this shit

 

He’s being insufferable

 

Dennis the menace

 

You know I could make your life hell

 

Langdone with this shit

 

Ominous

 

How so?

 

Dennis the menace

 

Remember what Robby was like when he wasn’t getting it on the regular?

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

 

Oh he’s seriously weaponising sex against you

 

Langdone with this shit

 

You could

 

But you won’t

 

Dennis the menace

 

Won’t I?

 

Langdone with this shit

 

You blew him in the bathroom after like a week of not being together, no way are you going on a sex strike now

 

Plus we’ve all heard you talk about it

 

Samira the snoop

 

Still scarred from some of this conversations

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

 

Same, but I did appreciate the hoetry

 

Dennis the menace

 

Oh are we really back to the Notre Dame comment?

 

Samira the snoop

 

I’m afraid to ask but I don’t remember the Notre Dame comment

 

Langdone with this shit

 

Quoting here

 

"I want him to wreck me so hard my prostate is ringing harder than the bells of Notre Dame at Easter mass"

 

Samira the snoop

 

🤢🤢

 

Dennis the menace

 

Oh you have been just as bad

 

Remember when you called yourself coke?

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

 

I don’t remember this one

 

Dennis the menace

 

Because she wanted Abbot to do her in the bathroom

 

Langdone with this shit

 

Ok that one is kinda funny

 

Dennis the menace

 

Not when she says it at Robby’s place at dinner

 

Santos (I don’t need a nickname)

Whitaker- a homosexual with a mullet who lives with Santos

 

He’s up there with a blue haired barista in terms of coffee making

 

Donnie

 

Robby- 20 years in this place and basically held together by the stuff

 

Not a chance he doesn’t make good coffee
