SPADE: See, Tatsumi-senpai can use technology!
Love: Uhm…………I’m going to stay silent on that due to my respect for tatsun as an idol and as our senpai.

Tatsumi: Yes. Did it work?
Love: … @SPADE …please help him…
SPADE: Wait, we’ve got it now!
~ ~ ~ Tatsumi has changed his username to Hallelujah ~ ~ ~
Hallelujah: Happy Easter, everyone!
Love: Good job changing your name, tatsun ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
SPADE: What’s Easter?
Love: Idiot Hiiro!!! Easter is a Christian holiday! It happens every spring! ( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ
Love: Actually….that’s all I know about Easter though…
Phantom: H..HAPPY EASTER, TATSUMI! I HOPE…I HOPE IT’S…UM…???
Phantom: ACTUALLY I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT EASTER EITHER! IM SO SORRY! ILL JUST GO AWAY AND NEVER BOTHER YOU ALL AGAIN!!! IM A SHAMEFUL PERSON!
Hallelujah: Hehe, no worries everyone! ♪
Hallelujah: In my faith, Easter is the holiday at the end of the Lenten season. Lent is a season of fasting and repentance, in preparation for the resurrection of Christ. The 40 day period of Lent reflects the 40 days Jesus Christ spent in the desert. Holy Week is the final week of Lent, and it ends in Pascha, also known as Easter. Holy Week is the week where we celebrate the Passion of Christ - how He came into the city of Jerusalem, how He was arrested, and crucified, and was buried. And how He defeated hell and death, and rose again on the 3rd day! Easter is the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. At my church, we have services every day of Holy Week, and a beautiful midnight service to celebrate the resurrection. Christ chose to die because He so loved the world, and saved us all through His resurrection! Easter is one of the greatest feast days on the Christian calendar.
Love: How does my senpai in Christ tatsun not know how to type or change his name but suddenly can write an SMS essay when he’s asked about Easter (ᵕ—ᴗ—)
Love: Tatsun, have you ever thought about getting tested for autism. I’m saying this honestly, I think your attitude towards your faith qualifies as a special interest. ( ._. )""
Hallelujah: I haven’t considered that! Thank you for the suggestion, Aira. I’ll look into it. I always thought I was neurotypical!
Love: uh…you just wrote an extremely detailed paragraph about Easter after previously not even being able to type a full sentence. That kind of extensive knowledge and excitement when prompted about a particular topic is the textbook definition of an autistic special interest
Love: also….I don’t think any of ALKALOID is neurotypical…. (ㆆ_ㆆ)

HiMERU: I never asked to be born.
RISKY: MERU MERU YOU’RE NOT EVEN GOING TO LET ME SAY ANYTHING FIRST LMFAOOOOO???
Kohaku: “CRAZY BITCHES” is quite the chat name. Is that actually what the B in our group name stands for?
Niki: I waz wondering that tooo!!

RISKY: MERU….HARSH…….
HiMERU: Do not call HiMERU “meru” “meru meru” or any other nickname. Each letter in the name “HiMERU” has a special meaning. It is of the utmost importance to say it correctly.
Niki: So meru..where does that name come from anyway??? And what’s your real name? And why don’t any of us know anything about your past?
HiMERU: wow would you look at that it’s time for my next job to start. I have to go right now immediately

Niki: Waz a good name for the chat? I dunno much about bein in a chat.
Kohaku: Honestly me either. They didn’t let me have much contact with the outside world back when —
Niki: Yea kohaku what the eff is up with your life story too? Ya make it sound like ya were tied up in the basement and forced into a life of crime from age 3?
Kohaku: Honestly…that’s not…far off…
Kohaku: But let’s leave that for another time. I came up with a chat nickname for myself. It’s what aira calls me!

Cherry Blossom: SHUT UP RINNE YOU’RE FAGGY AF
Niki: Kohaku, are you datin aira or what?
RISKY: Or what, LMFAO
Cherry Blossom: ITS HARD TO GO FROM BEING BEST FRIENDS TO BOYFRIENDS. I DONT WANT TO RUIN WHAT WE HAVE. ALSO IM SCARED THAT ILL HURT HIM SOMEHOW. HES SO SOFT AND SWEET. HONESTLY IM HAPPY JUST BEING FRIENDS. FRIENDS WHO CUDDLE SOMETIMES.
Niki: Rinne, are bisexuals allowed to use the f slur?
RISKY: Hell yeah, I’m bisexual and I say it all the time.
Niki: Ok, imma bisexual too. Kohaku, that was the faggiest message I’ve ever read.
HiMERU: I did not ask to be privy to your love lives.
HiMERU: Though, Kohaku, I honestly thought you and the heart suit from ALKALOID were already dating.
HiMERU: My apologies.
Cherry Blossom: ????????????!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?!?!?!?!?
Cherry Blossom: WHAT

Chef: Bone apple teeth
RISKY: NIKI YOURE A FUNNY GUY
RISKY: I LAUGHED
HiMERU: Still unsure if Niki is making a joke or doesn’t know how to spell.
Chef: CLASSISM!!!!! Workers of the world, rise up! All you have to lose is your chains!
HiMERU: I’m going to kill tatsumi next time I catch him reading the communist manifesto in the break room.
RISKY: meruchan, are you going to give yourself a nickname or what
HiMERU: No. It’s annoying enough that I have to be in this chat. I will not stoop to the level of tacky nicknames. HiMERU is my stage name and so it will be in here as well.
Kohaku: Btw what’s your legal name, ?
HiMERU: wow would you look at that, they’re calling me back to set. Goodbye forever.
