Not another tma chatfic

Summary:

Sasha.J: Jon give me my pen back

J.Sims: i dont know what youre talking about

T.Stoker: what happened to punctuation Jon

Sasha.J: give me back my pen Jon

J.Sims: uh

JonathanSims left the chat

Sasha.J: did he just

Sasha.J: I didn’t know he knew how to do that

 

This is just a rip-off of every tma chatfic ever (except that it starts earlier because we adore research era fics) and you’ll just have to live with that

Now with angst!

Notes:

(See the end of the work for other works inspired by this one.)

Idonthaveahome: ivy i love you 

 

ErmAchtually: everybody loves me Jon you’re not special

 

Idonthaveahome: [image attachment: close up photo of Jons face. The photo is blurry, and the lighting is generally bad. Jon face is so close to the camera that you can barely see anything other than his forehead, eyes and a bit of his nose. His expression is that of someone who has just even told you broke into their house at three thirty am, stole their spleen, shaved their dogs hair, and replaced all the buttons on their clothes, before gently spraying cranberry juice in their face. He is distraught.]

 

ErmAchtually: i take it back you are very special Jon 

 

bastard: stealing this

 

Idonthaveahome: NOOAIASSUDVAWHnopleasesiranoo

 

bastard: @TallShipLesbian new Image, add it to the folder

 

FuckedTheShip: added

 

Idonthaveahome: the deepest of betrayals 

Idonthaveahome: my own blood

 

FuckedTheShip: what blood 

FuckedTheShip: not mine

FuckedTheShip: [image attachment: the one Jon sent]

FuckedTheShip: [image attachment: screenshot: a folder in Nastya’s photo gallery titled “stupid times for stupid people”, featuring a wide array of images of the mechs, (both sent and taken) in either bafflingly stupid situations, or with incredibly silly expressions. Jons photo is now in the top left corner, with a red circle around it.]

 

Idonthaveahome: im at tears how dare you
