private chat: adrikins and marinara

adrikins:
are you feeling better yet?

marinara:
idk
not really
I think I've got a cold

adrikins:
well
yeah?
you are sniffling

marinara:
you're sniffling
fuck you

adrikins:
it's not an insult!
no wonder you got sent home
angry girl

marinara:
I want to die

adrikins:
pls don't

marinara:
I'll think about it

adrikins:
just
cancel stream?
they'll understand

marinara:
nah
I'll cut it a few hours
make it a short one

adrikins:
you really don't have to!

marinara:
I know but
like
it's my job

adrikins:
you've got two jobs

marinara:
we barely count the other one
ignore that

adrikins:
want your parents to know you think that?
how dare you!

marinara:
I'm a good daughter
let me keep it that way

adrikins:
you could always
quit, right?

marinara:
trying to make me jobless?

adrikins:
i'm
trying to think of your well-being!
you're always tired, mari

marinara:
I like sleep

adrikins:
that's not a good response

marinara:
!

adrikins:
why don't your parents
hire someone else?
you're usually busy
so like
it's not like it would be a waste of money

marinara:
I guess but
it's a whole process trying to get someone good
that they actually like and can trust
that's why I started working more there after school

adrikins:
what was the plan if you went to uni then?

marinara:
cry
idk
I was working with someone at first but
they quit after a few months for another job

adrikins:
rip

marinara:
mom has been asking me about that
so
maybe
I really will think about it
I'm not just saying it this time

adrikins:
promise?
i'm not trying to make you poor
so i can be the sugar daddy here

marinara:
pay for me

adrikins:
ok!

marinara:
nah I do make enough with streaming
no flex there
I swear
but like
I want to help my family too?
I didn't think it would work out like this

adrikins:
but you're so lovable!
i'm glad other people see it
and then you've got luka too
a dream team!

marinara:
a dream team
you say
but I'm the third wheel here

adrikins:
i have chickens to care for
ok!
i love you but i also love them

marinara:
love?
you dare say you love me?

adrikins:
yeah!

marinara:
such lies

adrikins:
but i do!

marinara:
prove it

adrikins:
ok
can i come over

marinara:
I mean
sure?
but I might sneeze on you
and need to blow my nose every few minutes

adrikins:
that's fine!

marinara:
I'm not in
prime kissing condition

adrikins:
then i can kiss your forehead!

marinara:
sure
you do that

adrikins:
i will!
be there soon!

marinara:
not my fault if you catch my cold

adrikins:
it's worth it to see you!

marinara:
don't try and butter me up
I'm still going to sound like shit

adrikins:
i'll bring medicine!

marinara:
you don't have to
I've still got some
I think
somewhere

adrikins:
you can't stop me!

ninny:

i dont want your germs

Thani:
Hi, Mari.
Feeling better yet?

marinara:
not really
but I've got today off again
so I'm still in bed

Thani:
Oh, sweet.
Planning to stay in there forever?

Alyarr:
can I join

marinara:
this bed is mine
I paid for it

Alyarr:
I bet you'd let adrien in it
traitor

adrikins:
no!
i'm not allowed over any more

marinara:
I don't want to get you sick
this is a no entry zone now

ninny:
are you meaning your home
or what

marinara:

Alyarr:
it's a legit question

Thani:
The answer is very much needed.

marinara:
I hate you all
you can't bully me when I'm weak
that's mean

Thani:
It's out of love and affection.
You've got all the medicine you need, right?

adrikins:
yes!

Alyarr:
he was asking mari
not you

adrikins:
but i bought it!

ninny:
ok show off
calm down

adrikins:
i'm a good person!

marinara:
the more you say it
the more I start to suspect it's an act

ninny:
a permanent roleplay
youre right

Thani:
He must be a good actor.

Alyarr:
or we're all just dumb
there's also that

marinara:
it could be either

adrikins:
i'm not acting!
i'm really bad at lying

marinara:
in person

adrikins:
i'd like to think i'm bad everywhere

ninny:
youre a real bad boy
its true

Thani:
Emotionally stunted?

adrikins:
no?

marinara:
little bit

adrikins:
what do you mean
little bit?

marinara:
xo

Thani:
Tragic backstory that only your love interest can unlock?

Alyarr:
no to that one

ninny:
hell tell anyone thatll listen

adrikins:
anyone that i like!

ninny:
same thing

adrikins:
there's people i don't like!

Thani:
Name one.

adrikins:
i
can't think when you put me on the spot?

marinara:
is that it
are you sure

adrikins:
yes!

marinara:
I dunno, man
I don't think you're capable of hating anyone

adrikins:
i hate you

marinara:
wrong
you hate that you can't come over right now
that's different

adrikins:
!

Alyarr:
it's okay to admit your flaws adrien

ninny:
we can't all be perfect, man

adrikins:
disliking someone is being perfect?

ninny:
flaws mean youre not a robot

marinara:
we accept you for who you are
idiot and all

adrikins:
you're all evil!

Thani:
Going to go and cry to your new best friend?

adrikins:
no!

marinara:
sad news
luka's on his way over now so he won't be farming with you

adrikins:
?
why can he come over?

marinara:
I don't care about him

Alyarr:
that's
an interesting answer

marinara:
already infected
who'd you think gave me it in the first place
he was to atone for his sins
by watching shitty films with me

adrikins:
i'm the third wheel now

Thani:
Third wheel implies that you're there with them.

adrikins:
ow
right in the heart!

Alyarr:
someone had to break it to you

marinara:
he's all mine for now
sorry

adrikins:
the betrayal...

marinara:
I'm sure you'll get over it
but maybe not cry to chloé
she's fed up with you talking about me

adrikins:
but she brings you up first!

marinara:
as she should

Alyarr:
that implies that you're not supposed to answer
about marinette

adrikins:
but that's
what a conversation is?

ninny:
let her vent at u instead

adrikins:
but it's not complaints!

Thani:
Let her moon over her, then.

marinara:
yeah
let her moon

adrikins:
am i gonna be the third wheel with chloe soon

marinara:
what do you mean soon

adrikins:
no...
already?

marinara:
I'm marrying her soon
sorry

Thani:
Are we all invited?

marinara:
yeah, totally
I'll stream it
nath, you're my best man

Thani:
I deserve it.

marinara:
you do

-x-

private chat: Thani and marinara

Thani:
You know I don't agree with that.

marinara:
you don't agree with anything
get over it

Thani:
It's against my beliefs.

marinara:
I believe you're an idiot
now watch the dang video

Thani:
Fine.
But only because I like you a little bit.

marinara:
oh, only a little bit?
how refreshing
finally
someone that doesn't fawn over me

Thani:
Maybe we'll get there someday.
But right now, I only tolerate you.

marinara:
I donated to you yesterday

Thani:
Donated?
Is that what we're calling it?

marinara:
yes
it makes me sound good

Thani:
You paid me.

marinara:
for hand services

Thani:
For a commission.

marinara:
yes, that's what I said
same thing, right?

Thani:
It's really, really not.
It makes me sound dirty.

marinara:
don't you want someone to think of you like that?
Otherwise you'll get lonely.

Thani:
It doesn't make me feel anything good when it's you.

marinara:
what
who would you rather have?
I'm all you've got, babe

Thani:
Don't babe me.

marinara:
what
babe why

Thani:
I hate it.

marinara:
no, you don't

Thani:
I hate you.

marinara:
no, you tolerate me
scroll up

Thani:
You're horrible.

marinara:
horribly tolerable.

Thani:
Mari, that's not a thing.

marinara:
it is
gonna put that as my bio now

Thani:

Go ahead.

marinara:
done
now the people know

Thani:
How does Adrien tolerate you?

marinara:
my beauty makes up for my brawn

Thani:
Right.

marinara:
idk
I've somehow tricked him into thinking I'm a good girlfriend
so we're keeping it that way

Thani:
Impressive.
Is he aware that you're an actual idiot?

marinara:
I think so

Thani:
You've got your work cut out for you.
Are you offering him any hand services?

marinara:
oh, yes
the gaming kind

Thani:
Of course.

marinara:
sneaky
stealing my jokes

Thani:
Sharing is caring, right?

marinara:
yes
like my money
take more

Thani:
When a slot opens up.

marinara:
there should be a slot just for me
I'm your most loyal customer

Thani:
I mean, if we're going be quantity, that's Luka.

marinara:
fuck off
I'm going to beat him

Thani:
Are you?

marinara:
yes
tell me when I can throw money at you for like
ten emotes

Thani:
I'll get back to you.

marinara:
good
because I want them exactly like luka's to piss him off

Thani:
I can do that.

marinara:
for a price
right?
I'm hilarious

Thani:
I'm considering blocking you.

marinara:
lies

Thani:
My hand services aren't worth this harassment.

marinara:

Thani:
You heard me.

marinara:
big fan of your work
but not your words

Thani:
That's mildly offensive.

marinara:
only mildly?
I need to work on my delivery

Thani:
You've gotten gentle in your old age.

marinara:
nath
I'm younger than you

Thani:
My knees click when I get up.

marinara:
that's nice
thank you for telling me

Thani:
You're welcome.

marinara:
I'll be thinking of your old knees now
whenever I walk

Thani:
In just a few months, you'll be like me.

marinara:
I look forward to it
I'll make a song to the clicks

Thani:
I'm a little bit worried about you.

marinara:
same
but I have a question

Thani:
Go for it.

marinara:
are you busy tomorrow night

like
do you have to be up the following morning

Thani:
No.

marinara:
that's not
very clear

Thani:
Sorry, no plans.
Unless Alya springs something on me.

marinara:
sweet
wanna stay up stupidly late

Thani:
You're really selling the idea here.

marinara:
no need to be rude about it

Thani:
Sure, let's do it.
It's been a while.

marinara:
well
that was easy

Thani:
My old age has made me a pushover.

marinara:
true
does that mean I can make you do all sorts of things now

Thani:
You already get my hand services.
What more could you want?

marinara:
true...
but maybe a bit of love

Thani:
Maybe.

marinara:
a little bit

Thani:
That depends.

marinara:
what does it depend on
oh wise one

Thani:
On what you want to watch together.

marinara:
something
bad

Thani:
Okay, I'll love you a little.

marinara:
!
