Formatting for this fic was designed with mobile devices in mind. The fic will be readable on desktop, but may look slightly strange due to the expanded width. If you don't like that, I'd suggest shrinking the width of the browser tab by half.

This work begins during season 1 of the anime.

Seiun Sky

hey guys guess what

El Condor Pasa

What's up, Sei?

Seiun Sky

🛻🐑🐏🐑🐑🐏

Haru Urara

SHEEP!

Special Week

I love sheep! I knew lots of them in the countryside.

Grass Wonder

they’re very cute, I agree.

El Condor Pasa

My dad makes delicious roasted lamb, I want some now....

Haru Urara

😨

Don't eat the sheep!

Grass Wonder

We've been eating sheep for millennia, Urara. Animal husbandry is a respectable profession for all.

Haru Urara

😱

Special Week

I used to help the farmers herd their sheep when their dogs were sick.

El Condor Pasa

Ooh, that sounds fun!

Special Week

It was!

Seiun Sky

sounds like a nice job

lots of friends, don't have to run too fast, predictable days

Special Week

I've also helped with birthing lambs!

Seiun Sky

I take it back this is for country girls only

El Condor Pasa

Hey everyone! What chapter were we supposed to read for second period’s homework today?

Seiun Sky

you don’t have to say “Hey everyone!” the last message was sent 42 seconds ago

Special Week

It was chapter 4, I think.

El Condor Pasa

Thank you! I’m glad I can message you all here! It’s much more chill than the Rigil group chat.

Seiun Sky

oh I bet

Haru Urara

What do you mean, El?

El Condor Pasa

Here, let me show you.

Symboli Rudolf

Practice will begin fifteen minutes late due to the inclement weather. Please bring umbrellas and dress
accordingly.
👍 Grass Wonder, Narita Brian, and 6 others 👎 T.M. Opera O

El Condor Pasa

Sure thing, President!

Air Groove

As a reminder, please do not post a message in this chat unless you have a question or need to address the entire group.
👍 Grass Wonder, El Condor Pasa, and 4 others

El Condor Pasa

Got it!


First-Rate 1C's

Seiun Sky

oh yeah I see what you mean

El Condor Pasa

Air Groove is chewing me out in a direct message right now! It’s so unfair.

A condor should be allowed to speak wherever she pleases!

Grass Wonder

there’s enough people in there that some sort of rulekeeping is necessary

otherwise it’d be chaos

Special Week

I don’t know, Spica doesn’t have any rules like that....

Seiun Sky

what does that group chat look like, I wonder

Special Week

I’ll show you!

Gold Ship

hey does anyone want to buy my artisanal rainwater

Daiwa Scarlet

no.

Vodka

depends on where you got it from

Gold Ship

you know that one dip in the floor of the audience stands on the track

from when tm opera o jumped so hard that she cracked the concrete and they had to refill it

the water’s collecting there right now

premium quality

Vodka

yeah no thanks

Silence Suzuka

I’ll also have to pass. But you should keep telling me about your business ideas, Gold Ship. They’re all very creative.

Gold Ship

i definitely will (๑و•̀Δ•́)و
💚 Silence Suzuka

Special Week

How many business ideas do you have, Gold Ship?

Gold Ship

as many as i want

the secret to entrepreneurship is throwing products at the wall and seeing what sticks

that's why I sell gum
👎 Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka

Silence Suzuka

Oh, because it sticks!

That's very clever.

Daiwa Scarlet

why did we pick teammates that listen to gold ship again?

Vodka

because they're good runners
👍 Trainer-san

and because we need anyone we can get, really

Daiwa Scarlet

next you're going to tell me that golshi is cool

Special Week

I think she's cool!

Daiwa Scarlet

you think everything is cool

there are specific requirements for coolness

such as, one, vodka not liking it

Vodka

it's actually the opposite but ok :/

Gold Ship

gay

Daiwa Scarlet

trainer can you kick gold ship from the chat
👎 Trainer-san

>:(

 

First-Rate 1C's

Grass Wonder

that makes sense.

Seiun Sky

those two are incredibly gay it’s kinda unbearable

Special Week

Wow, I get to meet actual gay people! Tokyo is amazing!

Seiun Sky

special week

please

tell that to vodka’s face

for me

Grass Wonder

special week please don’t do that.

Special Week

Okay!

King Halo

A first-rate umamusume would never accuse her friends of being homosexual unless it was absolutely necessary.

Seiun Sky

says the homosexual

King Halo

Excuse me, I am bisexual. There is a difference.

Seiun Sky

you probably whisk your matcha don’t you

King Halo

But of course! It’s the only way to ensure it mixes properly in a drink.

Seiun Sky

checks out

Grass Wonder

I also whisk my matcha.

Seiun Sky

well you’re a nerd, we all knew that already
😂 Haru Urara

urara why did you laugh react that

Haru Urara

Because it was silly!

Grass Wonder isn’t a nerd, she’s very nice!

Seiun Sky

two things can be true

Grass Wonder

:/

Notes:

Somehow it's all El Condor Pasa's fault.

This was very much a test of the AO3 workskin system, as well as the product of a realization that I hadn't seen a chatfic in the Umamusume AO3 ecosystem yet. (I can never tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing.) I have no clue if I'll follow it up or not, but hopefully this small snippet is fun on its own!

And yes, if I add updates, I'll probably change this dumbass title.
