OTHER NERD: She's upstairs working on the ritual. Same place she's been all day.
TOP DAWG: I didn't ask.
OTHER NERD: Yes, you did. Literally.
TOP DAWG: stfu
KNOTHEAD: REGINA! HIGHLIGHT THIS MESSAGE IF THE BOOKS ARE HOLDING YOU HOSTAGE.
SEXY WITCH: I'm not being held hostage. I'm researching. Stop blowing up my phone lol
KNOTHEAD: SHE LIVES!!!!!
TOP DAWG: Just checking you're safe.
SEXY WITCH: Wait, who changed my name? Sexy Witch is even worse than Top Dawg.
TOP DAWG: Guilty.
OTHER NERD: Haha
TOP DAWG: Wait, what’s wrong with Top Dawg??
SEXY WITCH: Never mind. lol I’m literally in your attic, not in the wilderness. I'm fine. Unless your great grandma's ghost is somehow a threat??
TOP DAWG: Hey, she had a mean right hook.
KNOTHEAD: Are you hungry for anything? Food? Coffee? Cock?
SEXY WITCH: Rowan brought me coffee and snacks from the vending machine you guys have in the basement for some reason. I'm good.
KNOTHEAD: Vending machines don’t have real food. And I'm pretty sure it doesn’t serve cock. I HOPE
OTHER NERD: Seeaaannnn
SEXY WITCH: Haha well the "everything" ramen you made last night with Doritos in it wasn’t real food either.
TOP DAWG: She's got you there.
KNOTHEAD: That was brilliant and you know it. I’d win Kitchen Nightmares with that dish.
OTHER NERD: Wrong show, dude.
TOP DAWG: Actually, no, maybe it isn’t the wrong show.
I smile, typing out a quick message.
NERD: Hey Regina. Are you regretting joining the chat yet?
SEXY WITCH: Sean has texted me 33 pictures of dogs in hats. Rowan keeps "casually" walking outside where he can see the window.
OTHER NERD: I was just walking by!
SEXY WITCH: In the middle of the yard?
OTHER NERD: …
SEXY WITCH: When are you coming home, Micah?
