Chapter 7: Secret Agents

Summary:

Interlopers invade the chat...

Notes:

I kept getting writer's block on this cursed chapter, so please accept this short chapter that contains about a third of what I wanted it to as an apology to start off the year :')

Thank you to everyone who has kudos'ed, bookmarked, and especially commented on this story. Though the fire has been burning low, all of your support and kindness has kept it going :) here's a goal for the new year- to get back into writing, and release more chapters without a year plus wait time!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Worst Quirks to Have (and How to Cope)

 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Hey @everyone, it would be nice to touch base on some more light hearted discussion topics after the recent case study and the clusterfuck on the Paraliberation discussion thread. That thread is now closed, and will NOT be revisited. 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: The last time we did a quirk ranking was very interesting and turned out surprisingly good, with the exception of Darkseid89 trying to murder everyone. As such, here is a new discussion thread. Please post your take on a disadvantageous quirk, though please add mitigating strategies to prevent a completely pessimistic outlook. We will collectively rank them at the end. 

BestJeanistInTown: In my defense I didn’t realize the comment on ‘war of ideologies’ would spiral the PL thread all the way back to a quirk genesis war discussion. Blame Darkseid, I’m innocent

13_GoingOn_Thirsty: lol. How do you attempt murder over a server? This site’s already looking promising lol

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: uhhhhh who are u???

CrimsonGal12: New sacrifice to this cult of a chat I see

BestJeanistInTown: *meme* “He doesn’t even go here!”

13_GoingOn_Thirsty: Yeesh way to gatekeep

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: And Gatekeep we shall if you don’t prove yourself. Hello @13_GoingOn_Thirsty. I’m not sure how you found this site, seeing as only EatYourHeartOut has submitted for a new member and didn’t mention this username. Thus, I will assume you stumbled across a user link and somehow scrounged together a password. You are welcome to stay if you can follow the rules posted on the main update thread, and someone will reach out to you with future passwords if you prove to be a true analyst. Until we’re sure you’re good people though - protocol ‘Privatize’ will be engaged.

CrimsonGal12: Letsee if we have another SmallMight on our hands!

quirkalicious: Sacrilege! There is only one mysterious cinnamon bun that I will ever recognize!

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: With uor luck well have another darkseid that we cant kick out on our hands…

BestJeanistInTown: Yikes, don’t jinx it! We only just got the last one house trained :0

13_GoingOn_Thirsty: Y’all are a riot lol

13_GoingOn_Thirsty: Oh wait wtf you closed all the other threads???

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Safety first. Lips sealed about you know what and such, @everyone

13_GoingOn_Thirsty: Jeez you guys seem to think you warrant top notch security lol, what are you, a bunch of villains?

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Strike one. 

13_GoingOn_Thirsty: ???

EatYourHeartOut: Don’t worry, they’ll convert you too.

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Back to the true purpose of this thread: I put forward ‘Conscious Control’. This quirk is best known for its use by pro-hero ‘River’, who used it to become one of the defining heroes of the European Quirk Wars. As the name implies, it grants the user conscious control of all of their body’s systems. The user capabilities include, but are not limited to: strength and agility boosts, high thinking capacity, minor telepathy, basic shapeshifting, extended lifespan, ability to survive harsh environments with little sustenance, and more. 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: At first glance, and with its first user using its abilities so well, it seems like a fantastic quirk. This is not the case. River never had any children, but the quirk has cropped up within her extended family over the following generations a total of 18(?) times. Only 10 survived their quirk coming in as a child, 3 survived till adulthood, and only 1 other was able to use the quirk to even a fraction of the extent that River could. This is because the user loses subconscious processing of their body - they must consciously control all body functions, such as making their heart pump, to survive. 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip:  A method employed by the family to reduce the danger of this is the use of quirk suppressing cuffs, drugs like ‘Supprimere’ to reduce quirk strength, and attempts to marry individuals into the family with strong, dominant quirks that prevent ‘Conscious Control’ from resurfacing. 

BestJeanistInTown: …Wow. And you said this is supposed to be a nice, friendly discussion thread ReallyTiredOfYourShip. Feels kind of hypocritic going after me for the paraliberation thread and then starting like this. 

CrimsonGal12: Lol Best, why are you surprised XD this chat is always like that. Plus Really defs has double standards

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: I would threaten expulsion but you’re actually right. Suffer the hypocrisy :)

CrimsonGal12: LOL

CrimsonGal12: But also Good luck getting quirk suppressing cuffs in this day and age. There’s wayyyy more red tape now. 

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: Yeah ive herd in other circle that all might shut most of the illegal trading down. Still availbel! But hard to find

CrimsonGal12: The only reason I have to dislike All Might… Buddy should keep his way too shiny smile out of my dark market!

BestJeanistInTown: *meme* “One does not simply insult All Might in the presence of SmallMight41”

EatYourHeartOut: Ha! That actually made me laugh

CrimsonGal12: For the love of all that is holy do NOT encourage him

BestJeanistInTown: I just made a private chat and sent you a bunch of memes do you like them??

EatYourHeartOut:

EatYourHeartOut: Too late

CrimsonGal12: RIP

BestJeanistInTown: well, I’ll just go enjoy my memes by myself then!

EatYourHeartOut: Please do.

BestJeanistInTown: :’(

CrimsonGal12: He appears to not be here yet, but regardless- sorry SmallMight, don’t go apeshit on me lol

CrimsonGal12: I just wish quirk suppressants were less impossible to get

quirkalicous: they can be if you have an in with the police :D

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Hypothetically, of course :))

quirkalicious: Yes! Hypothetically :)

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: and even worse i heerd that there might be way more people born with the conscus control quirk! Some estimated on docs I hacked say it could be up 30, and they covered up all the kids dying :,<

quirkalicious: Aaaand it gets even more morbid. Just the way I like it! I’m waiting for SmallMight41 to get here, he likes quirks so much that i doubt he could call any of them bad. I’d love to see a quirk that even he is willing to bash

quirkalicious: Mine is ‘Sludge Body’- kid I went to school with had it, and he dropped out real quick. It's a full body mutation that gives him a body made of sludge, and he couldn’t overcome the stigma. Never felt too bad for him though- he always called everybody else ‘meatsuits’, which obviously didn’t make people want to be his friend, even for the sake of pity. Last I heard he was arrested for trying to suffocate a guy he was mugging. Don’t know of any methods to help with a quirk like that though. Even if you could get them, using quirk cuffs or a suppressor on full body liquid mutation like his would maybe kill him

BestJeanistInTown: Yikes. Cool motive (society stigma), still attempted suffocation…

CrimsonGal12: Mmm speaking of SmallMights all encompassing love of quirks, where is our resident troll exterminator? Its already 6pm, he’s usually on the server right after he gets off work

Melodramatic: Oh! I know! He made a friend :) He was really excited. Apparently he was joining her for an after work activity. He said something about going to karaoke, which put the mental image of SmallMight scrambling to find songs he actually knows lol. With the amount of time he spends analyzing quirks I don’t think he knows any mainstream music xD 

CrimsonGal12: That is probably true XD Go SmallMight!

CrimsonGal12: My proposal is ‘Midas’. If a body part is touching inorganic matter for long enough, it’ll turn to gold. At first glance, it seems like a harmless and good quirk, if rather inconvenient, but then you hear the Rumors. Apparently, the girl who had it back in the 2030s got chopped up into little pieces and sold for scrap- her quirk still worked from her severed limbs as long as she was alive. It’s why gold is worth shit-all now, and it’s unclear if anyone put her out of her misery, or if she had to wait to die of natural causes. 

CrimsonGal12: An easy way to prevent this? Don’t tell the government about your valuable quirk that they will chop you up to profit from. 

Melodramatic: Amen sister

BestJeanistInTown: Wise words from a wise woman

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: DUUUUDE thats one of my favrite quirk horror storeis!! You know so much cool stuff!! HIt me up we Id love to chat abut more, youre so cool :)))))

BestJeanistInTown: And you’re not good enough. Back up a step, mister

Melodramatic: Guard dog says what

CrimsonGal12: Guard dog says what

CrimsonGal12: Shit you typed faster XD

quirkalicious: Good strategy! Unless you get caught lying about your quirk lol. That is some serious jail time. Easily preventable for the right fee though ;)

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: quirkalicious :))))

quirkalicious: :<

Melodramatic: mmm I don’t have as many quirk horror stories on hand, I’d just say in general a quirk that you fear? Like, if you have a water controlling quirk, but almost drowned as a kid, that’d probably suck. To mitigate it, I guess therapy? RIP. 

SmallMight41: hey Guys! Cool thread!

BestJeanistInTown: Hey SmallMight41!

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Good to have you join, SmallMight41. 

quirkalicious: SmallMight has arrived!!!!!

13_GoingOn_Thirsty: ???

Darkseid89: Finally. 

SmallMight41: I took a peek through the quirks! So far I think sludge body would be the worst, by sole virtue of the discrimination. Its a shame society can’t accept the amazing differences that quirks can produce. 

BestJeanistInTown: @quirkalicious you fucking called it XD

SmallMight41: As for Melodramatic’s, I have some semi good news! Its been theorized that quirks slightly alter brain chemistry. Its been proven that children ‘itch’ to use their quirks- its why late bloomers are so rare now, unlike during the dawn of quirks when the danger outweighed the desire to use the quirk. This ‘itch’ isn’t just a desire to use a quirk though- it has been investigated, and studies, particularly on fire quirks (due to them being so common) have indicated that quirks can prevent, or even erase fear involved with using them. Traumatic experiences can still be detrimental, but as Melodramatic mentioned, with therapy, and additionally a willingness to embrace a key part of yourself, most individuals can overcome fear they have surrounding their quirks :)

Darkseid89: In technical terms, these are ‘Quirked Initiative’ and ‘Mental Augmentation’, respectively. 

BestJeanistInTown: What excellent teamwork. I’m sensing :P

Darkseid89: Based on the times that you and your fellow cohort of Melodramatic and CrimsonGal12 have previously used the indicator ‘:P’, it appears to be a cue relating to some discovery originating from Melodramatic. This, along with Melodramatic’s flying by the seat of his pants logic frequently leading to stunning deductions, makes me believe that Melodramatic has an analytical quirk aiding him. Furthermore, the fact that BestJeanistInTown uses said indicator to refer to a supposed connection between SmallMight41 and myself has me curious. 

Darkseid89: So. Do you care to share what you’ve kept secret from the class, you golden trio of trash gremlins?

quirkalicious: ha , you guys finally got called out, and by Darkseid no less

EatYourHeartOut: senpai, watching you get investigated brings me visceral joy. Thanks for the call out, Darkseid. 

CrimsonGal12: Guys, I don’t think I can hide the truth anymore.

Melodramatic: ??????

BestJeanistInTown: WHAT

CrimsonGal12: Darkseid caught us red handed. We have to come clean, before its too late. 

CrimsonGal12: I’m sorry for keeping this a secret from the chat. We never meant for it to get so out of hand. 

CrimsonGal12: I hope you can forgive us. 

ENDeVORE: This. This was the perfect time to join the thread. 

SmallMight41: Darkseid89 you didn’t need to out Melodramatic like that, I’m sure that whatever they kept secret was for a good reason!

Darkseid89: Stop defending them! You were telling me a few mornings ago that you were curious too!

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: wait why are there so many plot twists tody, Crims is revealing secrets and Darkside and SmallMight have a private chat that they actually talk to eah other on???

SmallMight41: I told you that in confidence! And I wouldn’t have talked to you if I hadn’t needed a distraction from a family member who had a phone call that made them upset that morning. 

Darkseid89: Well I wouldn’t have talked to you if I hadn’t had a phone call that made me upset that morning!

SmallMight41: ???

Melodramatic: Ohm y holy crap :PPPPPP 

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: oh man the twists  just keep coming

ENDeVORE: I’m taking a page out of Melodramatic’s book. I just made some instant popcorn, and I am snacking away. This is dinner and a glorious, glorious show

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Keep up and keep quiet. I’ve been hounding Best for weeks to tell me what the hell the three of them have been keeping hush hush, we can ignore this additional DarkMight nonsense for now

BestJeanistInTown: Alas, you’re right Crimson. We should have known that we had to come clean one day.

Melodramatic: Its for the best. I hope we can receive forgiveness. 

CrimsonGal12: Indeed. The truth is…

ENDeVORE: ??/

quirkalicious: 80

SmallMight41: o_0

EatYourHeartOut: ??????

Darkseid89: Spit it out already

CrimsonGal12: Well, if you insist ;)

CrimsonGal12: Best, Mel and I have a private server. Sometimes, random analysis topics will come up that Mel later uses. But more importantly… its where we make crack Ships.

CrimsonGal12: :P is us shipping Darkseid89 and SmallMight41

CrimsonGal12: DarkMight OTP for the win

 

*CrimsonGal12 has been removed from the server*

 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: I hate all of you.

BestJeanistInTown: i am actually crying from how hard I’m laughing XD

Melodramatic: Same XD

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: But especially you three

SmallMight41: … Can we pretend the last 5 minutes never happened and move on?

Darkseid89: Seconded. 

EatYourHeartOut: I’ll get the brain bleach. 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Yes. I’ll scrub those lines later. It’ll be like it never happened. 

quirkalicious: please do :( 

ENDeVORE: Uhhhh questions- yes to the traumatizing mental image that invoked, but also: do you think they were just bullshitting? Maybe there’s another connection between SmallMight and Darkseid that they are theorizing :0

SmallMight41: So! Because the last 5 minutes Never Happened, and will NEVER be spoken of again, I’ll continue where I left off

ENDeVORE: ? but what about the possible connection?

quirkalicious: i don’t even care anymore. Let it lie, so that we don’t have to relive that horror again.

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Exactly. If you won’t do it for yourself, at least do it for SmallMight.

SmallMight41: All quirks have advantages. It just takes a different perspective to see them. So, I don’t know if I’ll enter my own suggestion on this thread - i couldn’t call any quirk ‘the worst’.  

ENDeVORE: He really is just gonna ignore anything to do with that convo topic, isn’t he? 

Darkseid89: Yes. So Drop It, before I add you to my List. 

ENDeVORE: 0_0

Melodramatic: aww, now I feel bad for traumatizing SmallMight. Sorry, SmallMight41!

Darkseid89: Back to the actual purpose of this thread, beyond the meaningless gossip; What a typically weak refusal to answer from SmallMight41! Embrace the anger, the rage within you - go apeshit. I know there’s at least one quirk that’d make you want to.

Darkseid89: But alas, you are too principled to. But I’m not :)

Darkseid89: My addition is ‘Immortality’. As the name implies, eternal life. But, as a haunting and terrible caveat- no eternal ‘youth’, or healing of any kind. Just an endless existence where you continue to age, and wither away- but never die. 

BestJeanistInTown: Classic. Hate to admit it, but this would probably have my vote as one of the worst…

Darkseid89: Indeed. However, as ReallyTiredOfYourShip specified, I must also include a way to mitigate the disadvantages of such a quirk. And I can think of only one.

Darkseid89: If ‘Quirk Transfer’ were used, it could combine such a quirk with other regenerative and youth quirks, making it the only case of true immortality, with none of the the disadvantages from mine and SmallMight41’s talk of pseudo immortals from so long ago.

Darkseid89: If you were willing to admit that Quirk Transfer exists, of course. Unfortunately, according to SOME PEOPLE, such a quirk doesn’t exist… which would mean ‘Immortality’ would have no advantages. In direct opposition to SmallMight41’s naive proposition :)

Melodramatic: The perfect trap :0

SmallMight41: Mm. An imaginary fix for an imaginary quirk. If only you could provide proof of something as obvious as a ‘Immortality’ quirk, beyond simply giving its name

Darkseid89: Why must you always be such a buzzkill?

SmallMight41: Sounds like sad words from a sad loser.

ThatsWhatSmallMightSaid: absolutely

ThatsWhatSmallMightSaid: Ten points to SmallMight41!

BestJeanistInTown: ??

Melodramatic: !!

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: You dramatic son of a bitch

SmallMight41: Youre back!!!

quirkalicious: The squads all back together again!!

BestJeanistInTown: Excuse you

 

*CrimsonGal12 has joined the server*

 

CrimsonGal12: NOW the squads back together again XD

ThatsWhatSmallMightSaid: Awe guys, you’re making me blush

ThatsWhatSmallMightSaid: This is the best welcome back from jail I could have ever asked for

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: !!

BestJeanistInTown: Privatize Protocols in effect dude!

13_GoingOn_Thirsty: I’ve seen enough. You guys really are just a bunch of villains >:(

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Strike 2.

 

*13_GoingOn_Thirsty has been removed from the server*

 

BestJeanistInTown: not that I’m complaining, but its three strikes for baseball?

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Too bad I don’t watch sports. I have no patience for interlopers. 

SmallMight41: …I kind of lucked out that I accidentally roasted Darkseid89 when I first joined, didn’t I?

CrimsonGal12: yeah lol. You probs would have gotten the boot otherwise, just for the safety factor cause Best had tagged illegal camera footage to that thread

Darkseid89: Aren’t you lucky you met me SmallMight :D

SmallMight41:

EatYourHeartOut: Proof that good and evil are always connected…

BestJeanistInTown: Or that :P was always meant to be

 

*BestJeanistInTown has been removed from the server*

 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: No. 

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: Man this had been a wild thread

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: i’m prepping my ‘worst’ quirk cause ive got a good horro storry, share this jail story in the meantime TWSMS! 

CrimsonGal12: Yes- Parch our thirst with the sacred tea!

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Good to have you back, ThatsWhatSmallMightSaid. I kept up to date with your sentence as best as I could, but yours got locked up surprisingly tight. How did you get released?

ThatsWhatSmallMightSaid: Oh you know- my shining personality

quirkalicious: Yeah right XD Who are you and what did you do with TWSMS?

CrimsonGal12: LOL

ENDeVORE: Haha, dude we have got to catch you up though- ReallyTiredOfYourShip, can you open up the other threads? I want TWSMS to go through them and tally the DarkMight score XD

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: >:(

ENDeVORE: Uh. I mean, the online war score 

ENDeVORE: Also, for the quirk thread: I agree with Mel, a quirk you’re afraid is the worst. IDK how much quiirked initiative and mental aug would actually help

EatYourHeartOut: Based on the amount of anxiety I normally have using my quirk, I can’t imagine also having quirk trauma. Thirded. 

quirkalicious: Welp looks like Mel might be the victor today, not SmallMight or Darkseid…

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: It does seem that way, shockingly enough. But more importantly- New rule: no more saying D_kM__t. It’s too… traumatizing

SmallMight41: :( yeah

Darkseid89: Seconded. 

quirkalicious: Thirded…

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: And- surprisingly, I too am curious about the current war tally. TWSMS, I’ll send you some of the better debates threads. Let us know the score when you can. And while you’re at it- please send me a name update. Considering I felt the need to abbreviate for you I’m getting tired of your current one. Sorry for axe’ing your fan, @SmallMight41. 

Melodramatic: *Squints suspiciously at ‘ReallyTiredOfYourShip’, an equally long user name*

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: *Squints at ‘Remove Melodramatic from server’ option*

Melodramatic: 0_0

 

*BestJeanistInTown has joined the server*

 

BestJeanistInTown: Also for the quirk thread- IDK, a kind of pointless quirk, like only being able to grow your nails slightly- like Meg Griffin XD

Melodramatic: Strike 1 for quirkist idealogy

CrimsonGal12: ugghh Besttttt,  do we have to put you through another morality and ethics seminar? It wasn't fun for any of the participants involved the first time around. but also. the referencing!!! Stop it- NO ONE GETS YOUR JOKES

BestJeanistInTown: I was just born in the wrong century! Leave me alone :(

CrimsonGal12: But also also- where’s my tea at, TWSMS??

ENDeVORE: Dude goes MIA for a month, goes to jail, then comes back only to be shy lol. 

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: dont care about TWSSS tea anymore look what i have!!

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: Life Drain: a quirk that allows the user to steal the lifeforce of others to augament their own. Similar to the ability of ‘Jack of Hearts’, but with one exception- its proximity based, not contact based. 

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: And its not imaginary like Darksides, I have proof!

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: At Jakku University, four years ago, during a second year math for accounting course, the class was overtaken by a quirk elitism group. They did a presentation and brought quirkless, and quirkless-supporting students from the class on stage to mock them for going against evolution. The presentor found a suppresor cuff on one of the students. They did NOT like that. They removed the cuff, and injected the student with something- probs a quirk booster like Trigger. Due to the quirk booster ruining the individual’s control, they used their ‘quirk’, which had been listed as something minor… But was actually life drain. 8 people were killed, and more injured by rapid aging. Basically all evidence of this incident was covered up; 

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: I first heard about it as an urban legend at Jakku before I dropped out. TBH, I only recently went looking for the ‘rest of the story’, beyond just the uni horror story version. After the whole True Blue case, I actually got more confident with my quirk, and less worried about Bad Karma. I figured I should use it to find the truth… 

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: I managed to hunt down a video taken by one of the audience members, its really shaky though cause they were secretly taking it, trying to bust the presentors. It got taken down basically twenty minutes after I saw it, and any threads that bring up the event get SHUT DOWN. I wanted to add it to this thread cause from what I’ve learned about the suspected Life Drain quirk user, they pretended they had a much weaker drain quirk that was touch based, and were trying to live a really normal life. THey never wanted to hurt anyone :( 

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: Moral of the story- having a ‘villainous”, difficult to control, and or dangerous quirk (worst of all  all 3) can be the worst. Especially when it backfires like that cause of some absolute dicks putting you on a stage to make a point.

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: mic dorp

ItWasTheOTherGuysQuirk2: *drop

SmallMight41: Wow!! I heard once about this suspected Life Drain quirk you were talking about, on another more public thread, but just vague details that were taken down!! I can’t believe you put together such a cohesive series of events

Darkseid89: I’m more surprised by the mostly accurate spelling. 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Nice work, @ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2. 

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: :D Thanks Really!! 

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: CrimsonGal12, what do you think :D

quirkalicious: This was a really good job! The best connected story for the incident I’ve seen in years. You got basically all the facts right.

Darkseid89: And how would you know that?

quirkalicious: oh Darkseid89, I don’t talk business on the server ;)

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: …literally all the censoring I was just doing says otherwise -_-

quirkalicious: What can I say- a girls gotta get business somehow :D  

quirkalicious: As for the life drain case- I will say that it was a WAYYY tighter case then it should have been. Obviously tragic, but they usually don’t put so much effort to cover up a villainous quirk gone wrong. That kind of News usually gets publicized big to show the danger of ‘bad’ quirks, or illegally falsifying your quirk

quirkalicious: There must have been some big names behind the scenes covering it up. I actually don’t know much of those details, but I do know one: that comparison to Jack of Hearts is ominously correct, cause after this mess he started doing business with the Japanese government >:)

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: quirkalicious you little shit, you were holding out on me!

EatYourHeartOut: woah. He’s able to trade lifeforce from one person to another, right? 

ENDeVORE: lot of old dudes in the government that would be all over that…

ENDeVORE: wait

ENDeVORE: a minute WIAT A MINUTE the vice pres of HPSC????

EatYourHeartOut: ??!!!!!

SmallMight41: O_o

Darkseid89: I knew it! He always did look too good for 78

Darkseid89: ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2, good job putting together the story

Darkseid89: quirkalicious, thank you for solving that particular mystery

Darkseid89: And ENDeVORE- fantastic, quick connection. You’re getting almost as good as Melodramatic.

quirkalicious: asldjf

SmallMight41: !!!!

EatYourHeartOut: ?????????

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: ???

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: w

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: whtat

ENDeVORE: Impostor???

Darkseid89: wow. Dramatic, much?

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: you complimented/thanked someone other than SmallMight

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: to three whole people

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: what did you expect??

SmallMight41: this is something like how you guys felt during our debates, isn’t it? I honestly almost fell off my chair 0-0

EatYourHeartOut: and now you finally understand

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: kkkk i ned a min to recverr

ENDeVORE: I just screen shotted the chat this is going on my wall for ever and ever 

ENDeVORE: Minus the bit that proves quirkalicious is either a hitman or a secret agent of course

quirkalicious: uh. Thanks. 

quirkalicious: I just bounced back hard from feeling so good? To feeling gross for feeling so good about getting mild acknowledgement from Darkseid89

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: A moment that will never be forgotten.

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: … And yet, equally shocking is that the chaos gremlins are not here rubbing this slip up in Darkseid’s face. 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Worrisome. 

Darkseid89: Delete the chat- or at least the last chunk of it

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: And just why should I get rid of proof of your weakness?

ENDeVORE: AKA my greatest moment on this server???

Darkseid89: Please. You’ve all already screen shotted it. Deleting it will just prevent said chaos gremlins from getting to enjoy it. It would be revenge for what they put all of us through.

SmallMight41: … I agree with Darkseid

SmallMight41: They need to be punished for the incident which will not be spoken of

Darkseid89: >:) Finally. You’ve come to the Dark Seid…

SmallMight41: >:(

SmallMight41: I hate you

SmallMight41: So, so much. 

SmallMight41: Why did I watch Star Wars? Now you think you have license to make lame puns at me!!!

Darkseid89: :D

quirkalicious: Really, you can delete the compliments if you also delete Darkseid’s lame pun

Darkseid89: D:

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Deal. But I also want a future favor, Darkseid- you don’t get what you want for free.

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Well, Darkseid? 

Darkseid89: …Fine. But this favor must only be contained to the server.

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Excellent. Also- name change approved. Everyone, please welcome the new and improved ‘Truman’, back from a jail near you.

Truman: Thanks, Really. I ‘Really’ am glad to be back!

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: You won’t be back long if you keep those puns up. But, in the meantime- hit us with the jail story. Might as well leave ‘The Tea’ available for Crimson when those three get back from whatever secrecy they’re up to.

Truman: Got it. No puns. As for the jail story- a big reason I got away scott free was thanks to a new friend of mine. He’s been vetted, and I really think he’d like this chat. Please give him a review for joining while I type this up, Really; I’ll send you his info.

Truman: But more importantly- I got out because I have an animal mutant quirk… and someone recently proved a bunch of us folks were forced to commit crimes under the control of True Blue. I saw the thread- thank you so much. 

Truman: You guys are my heroes :)

SmallMight41: oh my gosh 

SmallMight41: I’m so glad we were able to help you too!

Darkseid89: mmm. What a ridiculously small world we live in…

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: ? uh. I saw the case file, and I know the shit you get up to, Truman. You were definitely guilty of some of the crimes on your write up…

Truman: But the police don’t need to know that :)) 

quirkalicious: Nice.

EatYourHeartOut: …this damn site will be the ruin of me.

Introduction to Sharkbait 1 and 2

 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Hey @everyone - this is a ‘formal’ introduction to the new recommended members from EatYourHeartOut and Truman. The profiles and snooping I did seem fine, but as always, keep the blatantly illegal talk to a minimum until we all decide if they’re cool or not. That, btw, is specifically directed to you, @quirkalicious. 

quirkalicious: I was just trying to market my help to my online friends in case they ever get into a tricky situation

quirkalicious: but fiiiiiinnnnneee

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: As someone who has been forced to use your services, I beseech the rest of the chat to steer clear unless you are desperate. VERY desperate. 

quirkalicious: :’( so mean

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Anyways. Best has hidden the previous threads from their temporary connections by giving them different passwords than ours, and they’ll only be able to see messages after they join the thread, so our dark history, the top stuff, and probably the next few lines are safe (for now). 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Feel free to haze them while they’re on probation; I want to see these newbies' true colors :)

ENDeVORE: Damn Really, you’re such a savage

EatYourHeartOut: my newbie got the link and is coming soon. Feel free to do your worst. Or not. Your choice if he makes the cut. Of course if he sucks kick him out no worries

ENDeVORE: And so is EYHO?? Jeeze why’d you even invite your friend if you were gonna toss him to the wolves XD 

Melodramatic: LOOOOL maybe my little kohai got blackmailed again and didn’t want the newbie here in the first place XD

Melodramatic: wait a second

Melodramatic: @EatYourHeartOut???

LexLuthor: Hey everyone, I’m Truman’s friend from jail. I like analysis, comics, and memes of the 21st century. Glad to be here.

EatYourHeartOut: Oh look a new member 

EatYourHeartOut: better start hazing them Mel

BestJeanistInTown: Me first! *gif of little girl jumping up and down* 

BestJeanistInTown: Ballsy admitting you met Truman in jail. Seems like you’re a narc recklessly trying to sniff out villains with that kind of intro and list of fake interests… 

LexLuthor: *meme: let me innnnn* 

LexLuthor: But then again, cause I’m not THAT desperate…

LexLuthor: *meme: I’ll go make my own server! With blackjack! And Hookers!*

BestJeanistInTown: NVM HES COOL AND HAS IMPECCABLE TASTE

BestJeanistInTown: Sorry for the immediate criticism please keep sending memes no one else ever does with me :,(

LexLuthor: Ha, glad to be in good company. And no worries- hit me with whatever hazing you need to get out of your systems, I’m used to it :)

Melodramatic: Best, you’re so stupidly easy -_-

Melodramatic: I’ve got my eyes on you, you Darkseid knockoff. Tread lightly…

LexLuthor: ? Is there another DC fan? Nice. 

Melodramatic: YOU WOULD THINK DARKSEID IS NICE, WOULDN”T YOU???

quirkalicious: Wow Mel- way to go apeshit when your bestie makes a new friend. Jealous, much XD?

ENDeVORE: Living up to his username…

Melodramatic: Screw you guys, I know he’s sus. Hear that, Lex? I’m on to you!

LexLuthor: I know you’re sus but what am I?

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: pff

EatYourHeartOut: I like this guy. 

BestJeanistInTown: don’t wowwy Mel you’w always be spwecial to me :D

Melodramatic: :b!!!!!!

BestJeanistInTown: lol okay, I get it, but for now its fiiiiinne. He likes memes, after all!

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: That better not be another shipping sign or I will be desperate enough to go to you know who for efficient body disposal

Melodramatic: For the nth time Really, we swear that was just a joke- we made that up!

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: And yet the trauma was real

SmallMight: Trauma? Oh no! That doesn’t sound good :(( What happened?

ENDeVORE: Lol SmallMight continues to preten the traumatizing incident never happened XD

BestJeanistInTown: Yeah, buddy was really wrecked by that… sorry again, SmallMight! You know we have nothing but respect for you!

Melodramatic: yeah XD

Melodramatic: wait 

Melodramatic: a second somethings wrong

ENDeVORE: ?

Melodramatic: Something is really wrong!

LexLuthor: Does he… normally do this? Or did I really set him off this bad? Yeesh. 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: *sigh* alas, no. He’s a bit of a brilliant space case, but nowhere near this presented level of asylum patient ready to rampage.

quirkalicious: wait shit I know what

quirkalicous: he’s freaking out about

quirkalicious: thats not SmallMight!!

BestJeanistInTown: ? what

ENDeVORE: Man, I didn’t realize crazy could get passed on like an internet virus…

SmallMight: I don’t know what is going on :(( Sorry if I offended you somehow, @Melodramatic, @quirkalicious :(

BestJeanistInTown: Wait the name isn’t right

Melodramatic: HE DOESN”T HAVE 41!!!!

quirkalicious: imposter!

Melodramatic: Really who is this jackass stealing SmallMight’s identity???

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: I. am. CRYING. From laughing so hard XD

SmallMight:

SmallMight: I’m confused. What’s going on?

Darkseid89: Ha! SO you finally admit to being lost, SmallMight… if only you had an ally willing to show you the way…

Darkseid89: Wait

Darkseid89: no

Darkseid89: Who the fuck are you

Melodramatic: okay its funny now that Darkseid is upset XD

LexLuthor: Ah- the fellow DC fan. Nice. Hopefully he likes me more than he does this imposter.

ENDeVORE: Yes yes very funny. Can we kick the fake off the site yet?

quirkalicious: yeah!

quirkalicious: Identity theft is not a joke, Really!

LexLuthor: LOL, nice Office joke.

quirkalicious: What? 

BestJeanistInTown: !!!!

BestJeanistInTown: Please stay forever, you can replace Mel as my best friend

Melodramatic: ??

Darkseid89: I have refreshed myself on the contents of this thread.

Darkseid89: I agree with Best. Lex can stay. For now. 

Darkseid89: The imposter has to go though. I only have enough tolerance for ONE All Might fanboy. 

SmallMight: I am sorry for all the frustration my presence has caused… I was just so excited to join an analysis thread, and meet people with similar interests… I’m sure if I met the person the chat believes I am similar to, that we could get along! Especially if he is a true All Might fan :) 

SmallMight41: Oh wow! You really are a similar fan. Love the user name ;D

SmallMight: Haha, I’m sure you do. Cause you’re clearly such a big fan of All Might.

SmallMight41: Yep!

SmallMight: How wonderful. You wouldn’t mind giving me an itemized list of what you think All Might’s greatest accomplishments are then, complete with why he’s a personal inspiration to you, right :)?

BestJeanistInTown: Jeeze you suck. EatYourHeartOut, where did you find this guy?

EatYourHeartOut: I found SmallMight helping the unfortunate at my local soup kitchen. SmallMight is a good, kind person. He is fair and measured, with great analytical skills. I believe that he is a proper fit for this server.

BestJeanistInTown: ? Mel told me about that soup kitchen? Isn’t it the one run by the mafia???

EatYourHeartOut: no. a different kitchen. he is very good.

ENDeVORE: He’s also an asshole.

ENDeVORE: SmallMight (the REAL one!!) don’t feel the need to respond to this jerk’s tests. Im sure Really will boot him soon enough.

LexLuthor: Yeah! As one newbie to another, you suck!

LexLuthor: *pokes fingers together shyly* Was that good, Senpai?

CrimsonGal12: Okay Lex is actually pretty great XD nice find, @Truman.

Darkseid89: Better than the inferior in every way clone. 

quirkalicious: I despise this heathen more than you all could ever know >:(

SmallMight: I just want to discuss All Might with a fellow fan! Besides, if he’s a True Fan, what I asked really isn’t that difficult :) 

Melodramatic: You want to interrogate SmallMight41 cause your a piece of shit!

Melodramatic: Boot him, Really! He’s sus!!!

BestJeanistInTown: SUSS!

ENDeVORE: So sus

Darkseid89: Sus.

CrimsonGal12: Sustastic

quirkalicious: more like sucktastic!!!

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Eh. I like that he pisses you all off. Like an annoying chihuahua attack dog :D 

 

***SmallMight41 has shared a file***

***SmallMight41 has shared a file***

 

SmallMight41: I was a little busy recently, so these are only updated as of two weeks ago. I can send them again once I update them with the latest accomplishments of All Might though!!! Can you send me yours to? We could compare!!!

BestJeanistInTown:

CrimsonGal12: Uh. What?

Truman: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: SmallMight. What the hell is this?

ENDeVORE: Its 38 PAGES?????

EatYourHeartOut: And thats just the personal inspiration essay. The itemized list on All Might’s heroic feats is still loading on my computer, mostly because of the appendix. 

Melodramatic: I always knew you were, like, a MASSIVE fanboy. But I think even with that knowledge I wasn’t prepared for this. Wtf SmallMight

SmallMight41: Oh. Sorry!  I just got so excited, cause no one has ever asked me for my opinions on All Might before

ENDeVORE: People around you have some self preservation…

Darkseid89: Why do you insist on hurting me like this, SmallMight? Why?

SmallMight: You win this time.

 

*** SmallMight has left the server***

 

quirkaliciuos: Ha! So much for being an All Might fanboy! the copy is clearly inferior to my OG

LexLuthor: yes. SmallMight41 is quite the fan. 

Darkseid89: I would have said that before. But after this, I’d say he’s obsessed instead. If All Might ever goes missing, I know whose basement to check. 

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: SmallMight. We love and accept you as you are. But please don’t kidnap All Might to acquire him as the ultimate merch for your probably cult-like collection. 

SmallMight41: Guuuuyyyyssss

Truman: HAHAHAHAHAHHH

Private Chat

“‘DarkMight: The Scariest Chat I’ve Ever Made’, sincerely, the Best Jeanist in town”

 

Darkseid89: So you agree right? The rip-off is a government mole. Because SOMEONE wasted his time on a handmade, sketchy analysis for a known hero student…

SmallMight41: Are you sure you want to play this game again?

Darkseid89: :(

Darkseid89: But seriously.

SmallMight41:

SmallMight41: Yes, that is probably a hero.

SmallMight41: Who do you think it is?? Maybe an underground hero investigating? But why? Do you think they want to hire me to do analysis for them???? Maybe if I wait a bit I could get them to scan and send me an autograph??

Darkseid89: …Stupid fanboy. 

Darkseid89 : This is a serious breach of security, which could send all of us to jail. 

SmallMight41: I hope I get arrested by a good hero then :)

Darkseid89: I never should have apologized to a psycho like you. 

SmallMight41: But you already did anyways. No take backs!

Darkseid89: You little shit

Darkseid89: But you’re my little shit to deal with

Darkseid89: the chat’s I mean

Darkseid89: So I need to know- you have proper encryptions for your connection, right?

SmallMight41: hahaha

SmallMight41: wait

SmallMight41: oh wait you are serious

SmallMight41: Are we going to get arrested??? For what? Analysis is not a crime??

Darkseid89: You naive child

Darkseid89: *sigh*

Darkseid89: Alright, here is a link to an internet security file- it will encrypt all your connections

 

***Darkseid89 has sent a link***

 

Darkseid89: Can’t have my internet rival getting arrested if this spirals like I think it might.

SmallMight41: …oh my gosh im a criminal

Darkseid89: a baby criminal, but yes.

SmallMight41: and a hero thinks I’m one too!! This is awful

SmallMight41: at least that hero isn’t All Might :’(

Darkseid89: Sigh. Yes, at least there’s that. All Might would truly be stooping to new levels to a) investigate a chat such as this himself, and b) use such an egotistical name as SmallMight… I shudder to even think of it…

SmallMight41: …do you think that Lex could be a mole too? ThatsWhatSmallMightSaid did mention he met him in prison, which seems a little off…

SmallMight41: sorry, *Truman

Darkseid89: considering his impeccable taste in usernames, I doubt it. Lex is a true kindred spirit!

SmallMight41: Yikes. What a bad character endorsement...

Darkseid89: I wouldn't say that SmallMight41... I consider you a kindred spirit as well :)

SmallMight41: How could you say something so hurtful???

Darkseid89: : D

Notes:

Melodramatic after this chapter: I actually feel kind of bad for Darkseid, after seeing those pages from SmallMight. Imagine LIVING with that kind of fanboy. No wonder he doesn't like All Might...

 

Sir Nighteye after this chapter: I underestimated AFO... I never knew he would be willing to go to such lengths to keep up a cover story. His personal essay was so touching I actually doubted myself! How heinous of him...
AFO, if he knew Sir Nighteye's thoughts: Excuse you, even I have LIMITS. I would sooner die than fanboy that hard, for ALL MIGHT of all people.

 

All Might after this chapter: Is it weird that I am slightly more frightened of the super fan on this chat that I am of the suspected AFO? Fanboy's are just a whole other breed of terrifying...

 

In other news: I have a new sidestory included in the 'SmallMight41 and Darkseid89' series, titled "CrimsonGal12". It is... a rather dark backstory, but I believe it provides important detail for some of the OCs of this fic- in particular, CrimsonGal12. If you choose not to read it, no worries. Details from it will be included in the next iteration of 'Internet Friends: Server Members', which should be posted within the next few days.

And finally- thanks for reading! Hope you all have a great new year :)

Notes:

Just another fic to get the creative juices flowing. If anyone has suggestions for this please let me know :)
