AN: I started posting this fic on AO3, but when attempting to put it here just...fucked a lot with my formatting. So I hadn't bothered to try and bring it over here until now.
For some reason I decided to start a chat fic for this fandom. But I kept wanting to add characters that I wanted to see in it, and didn't think it was fair if I only had characters from one or two seasons of the anime. I've watched at least some of every season of the anime since it's started back in the 90's, so I feel like I know most of them well enough.
I added and added characters, and soon enough I created a list of like 40 characters I wanted to see in this thing, and I churned out this...behemoth...of a first chapter.
Someone help me.
