Leo Valdez has changed their name to badboysupreme

badboysupreme: welcome to the chaos

Several people are typing…

galaxybrain: leo what is the purpose of this???

givemeyourbones: we don’t need another group chat

givemeyourbones: im already in like 5

givemeyourbones: against my will, i might add

kingofnewyork: amature, im in at least 10

barnacleboy: awww, nico! i thought you loved us!

givemeyourbones: debatable

barnacleboy: :[ 

barnacleboy: im wounded

galaxybrain: im pretty sure you’re fine

givemeyourbones: also how did you even get my contact info

givemeyourbones: i definitely didnt give it to you

badboysupreme: blame jason 

itssuperman: sorry nico 

sadiethegreat:   not that this isnt entertaining...

sadiethegreat: but why am i here 

sadiethegreat: i recognize @galaxybrain (nice new name btw) but who are the rest of y’all 

badboysupreme: i thought it would be cool to invite as many people possible from that meet up we had

badboysupreme: (because wow, you guys were fun!) 

badboysupreme: you gave me your number sadie, but sadly none of your friends did, and so did alex 

badboysupreme:   speaking of, @coolguysdontlookatexplosions , where you at?

coolguysdontlookatexplosions: hello peasants  

coolguysdontlookatexplosions:  thank you leo, for an excellent opportunity, i vibe with this chaos 

theVibeChecker: alex did you rope us into this? 

coolguysdontlookatexplosions: welcome to the chaos @Maggie, @mr.president, @merida, @theROCK, @magicman, @fashionman

Maggie: ALEX PLEASE STOP CHANGING MY NAME 

coolguysdontlookatexplosions: :) :) :)

merida: ill fix it  

sadiethegreat is typing....

Maggie:  NO!

merida has changed Maggie ’s name to rapunzel

rapunzel: yeah… that’s worse

rapunzel has changed their name to moralsupport

mr.president: i hate to say it magnus, but youre … not very good at that 

moralsupport: tru, but i AM good at yelling at you to not die

moralsupport: and sometimes it even works! and then i get to heal your asses before you go off to get yourself killed again!

theROCK: when you put it like that, it does make sense 

doctorman: @moralsupport are you also a healer?

moralsupport: yes. i cannot fight well, so i make sure everyone else doesnt die 

doctorman: i feel you, i also have to wrangle idiots on a regular business 

givemeyourbones: i resent that remark 

doctorman: then STOP DOING STUPID THINGS 

barnacleboy: ha! 

doctorman: this applies to you too, percy. annabeth will vouch for me 

barnacleboy: ok fine, i do make less than sensible decisions sometimes, thats fair 

kingofnewyork: if you and jason will stop challenging each other to duels maybe we wouldn’t have this problem

galaxybrain: i second that motion 

barnacleboy:   why do you wound me so???

galaxybrain: if you and thalia could stop that too, that’d be great 

barnacleboy:   yeah no

ispeakforthetrees:   yeah annie, thats not gonna happen

barnacleboy: backup!!! 

itssuperman: thalia!  

itssuperman: when did you get here?!? 

ispeakforthetrees: ive been lurking

ispeakforthetrees:  valdez ur on thin ice 

ispeakforthetrees: ive only decided to spare you my wrath bc i get to see this chaos 

badboysupreme: yeah thats fair, youre a busy woman 

reyna:   we are all busy

badboysupreme:  well you are both doing important administrativey things, frank too but he wont mind as much, so im just gonna apologize for causing chaos in your life at this trying time

frank: yeah Leo, it’s cool

reyna: dont be absurd, this is an entertaining break from logistics of cross-camp exchange programs, so thank you 

badboysupreme: wow…. i’m moved

Islandgetaway: can confirm, im right next to him

barnacleboy:   calypso! where have you been!

Islandgetaway:  here the whole time, just been looking over leo’s shoulder 

barnacleboy: so is that everyone? I think that’s everyone but hazel 

frank: yeah hazel’s with arion. somewhere in the wilds of america 

sadiethegreat: what i am about to do, i do with no regret 

sadiethegreat: i had a big speech but it has since disappeared :( 

sadiethegreat: @coolguysdontlookatexplosions thank you for the idea, i look forward to causing chaos with you 

coolguysdontlookatexplosions:   same, i feel this will be better than the camel

sadiethegreat: ooh yeah

givemeyourbones: we do not talk about the camel incident 

mr.president: I really doubt we can control them

givemeyourbones: i can certainly try

sadiethegreat:   k, here goes

sadiethegreat added carter, Ms. Fahrenheit, anotheronebitesthedust, and 3 others to the chat

sadiethegreat: suffer 

callthemedic:   Sadie. What is this?

goldmine:   uh oh actual punctuation 

barnacleboy: hazel you typed like this until like 2 months ago

goldmine: i don’t see how that’s relevant to sadie’s impending demise

anotheronebitesthedust: that’s accurate

badboysupreme: hazel your name game is … not great today

goldmine: alright fine 

goldmine changed their name to thatonehorsegirl

thatonehorsegirl: better?

badboysupreme: hmm, adequate

callthemedic: i demand answers sadie 

sadiethegreat:   ITS A FUN CHAOTIC GROUP CHAT WHERE WE CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT THE GODS MESSING UP OUR LIVES!

sadiethegreat: the rest is just straight up vibing

coolguysdontlookatexplosions: sure, but im just vibing

sadiethegreat: what, oh yeah, same tbh

sadiethegreat: just viBIng

carter: sadie your puns are terrible

badboysupreme: how dare you say something like that

badboysupreme: i think they’re great

sadiethegreat: yeah!!! ur my brother now

badboysupreme: sweet

callthemedic: aight, im out

callthemedic has left the chat

carter: me too

carter has left the chat

sadiethegreat: NO MERCY FOR YOU

sadiethegreat has added carter to the chat

sadiethegreat: jaz can only leave bc shes the medic and also I value my life too much to force her to deal with this

sadiethegreat: you dont have this excuse

sadiethegreat: i guess @doctorman and @moralsupport could leave too if they wanted

doctorman: why would i leave? this is free entertainment 

moralsupport: i thrive on chaos

mr.president: you said that tuesday during free-for-all and immediately died

Ms.Fahrenheit: i really hope that was a metaphor 

theVibeChecker: nope 

theVibeChecker: welcome to hotel valhalla 

anotheronebitesthedust: i keep forgetting most of you are dead, that’s why that meet up felt a bit off

givemeyourbones: ha same

givemeyourbones: the weird vibe has been explained

sadiethegreat: I refuse to believe either of you forgot about that 

givemeyourbones: and you will never know the truth

givemeyourbones: oh hey, @anotheronebitesthedust did you know about that beforehand?

anotheronebitesthedust: yeah, vaguely 

givemeyourbones: i accidentally shadowtraveled to muspelheim in the early days

givemeyourbones: that was a Not Fun way to find out

itssuperman: oh hey @moralsupport we should have a rematch sometime, since you pretty much threw it last time

moralsupport: you underestimate how bad i am at fighting, i was actually trying there

carter: if im stuck here

sadiethegreat: you are

carter: ive been thinking, and have made some decisions 

givemeyourbones: anyone else suddenly apprehensive

galaxybrain: relax, it’s carter, it’ll be fine. probably

carter: im honored by your faith 

carter changed the chat name to “please solve your own problems”

carter changed their name to thefalcon

barnacleboy: hmm

theonehorsegirl: ah, so im not the only one with bad name skills

thefalcon: what how does it not make sense

sadiethegreat: i hate to admit it but hes right 

sadiethegreat: you just probably dont have the right context 

sadiethegreat: ah the good old days when i could be a bird

fashionman: im sorry what

galaxybrain: ok carter’s statement makes sense but that does not

Ms.Fahrenheit: because they were the hosts of Horus and Isis they could turn into their sacred animals, a falcon and a kite respectively

thefalcon: ah the good old days when I could be a 30 foot tall power ranger

sadiethegreat: technically you still can, ur just a coward

thefalcon: the gods have gone back to the heavens, we can’t be hosts. use their powers sure, but not like we used to 

sadiethegreat: yeah im just hearing that ur a coward

sadiethegreat: i for one, do it all the time

thefalcon: sadie that’s illegal 

sadiethegreat: uh huh, says who?

sadiethegreat: you literally MAKE THE LAW

sadiethegreat: YOU CAN CHANGE IT IF YOU DONT VIBE WITH IT

ispeakforthetrees: OOH @doctorman we may need some assistance 

moralsupport: all our lives are so vastly different and so similar in the exact same ways

kingofnewyork: you speak the truth

barnacleboy: has your life been affected by gods? life changing quests? prophecies bearing the possibility of imminent destruction of all civilization? if so, you may be entitled to compensation! Call this toll free number now!

galaxybrain: percy you’re a comedic genius 

Islandgetaway: I’m definitely missing something

kingofnewyork: on tv there’s a lot of ads about being injured of made ill by working conditions or products, and sometimes there’s court cases about it and people who were affected get money

Islandgetaway: oh right, tv is that box where all the tiny people live, 

moralsupport: do you not know how the tv works?

coolguysdontlookatexplosions: well maggie, i don’t on the best of days. click button, see cartoon, presto changeo

moralsupport: yes but the modern century is confusing for time-displaced persons

givemeyourbones: hmm, @Islandgetaway and @thatonehorsegirl we should start a club

thatonehorsegirl: ooh sounds fun!

Islandgetaway: yeah sure

Islandgetaway: no i do know how the tv works, that was a joke

Islandgetaway: mostly

Islandgetaway: ive gotten several speedruns through history to catch up, its very entertaining 

kingofnewyork: why are all of us… so funny, all the time

givemeyourbones: everything’s funny when you’re sleep deprived

kingofnewyork: ah very true

itssuperman: i believe it’s the desire to have fulfilling lives when there’s the possibility of dying young, at least for demigods

barnacleboy: if you bring things called “logic” and “common sense” into this here chat i will find a way to kick you out

reyna: yeah jason, didn’t you know better than this 

itssuperman: reyna why are you and percy ganging up on me

kingofnewyork: would you like another outside opinion

itssuperman: yes please piper 

kingofnewyork: they are Correct

badboysupreme: oh hey, speaking of kicking people *cough* jason *cough* out

badboysupreme: which, will not happen as of yet

barnacleboy: aww :(

badboysupreme: i have executed my great wisdom and given @galaxybrain, @reyna, @coolguysdontlookatexplosions and @sadiethegreat all mod privileges

galaxybrain: was that really wise 

sadiethegreat: likely not

badboysupreme: definitely not

coolguysdontlookatexplosions: but it will be super entertaining 

moralsupport: … this will not end well

This is done purely for my enjoyment, but I’d still love to hear what you think. If you have ideas for what to include, (general chaos causing things, nicknames, interactions, random bits of funny dialogue) I’ll do my best to include it at some point and chances are good that the next update will come sooner.

Thank you!
