30. Chapter 30: Group Chat Redux

== Cavdit: Observe your hive

You walk back inside to notice there is a number of… alterations to the walls. Not structures that Firyut put in, but text appearing next to the previous writing. And they all appear to be some form of computer codes. Damn, this is hard to read in stone. Alright, if you have this right then… you need to get everyone on the group chat. This is some serious shit actually! At least for the moment.

== Cavdit: Go to the chat

quadriclopsRapper [QR] had been made an admin

Cavdit: A\/\/eso/\/\e possu/\/\.

Cavdit: O/\/e seco/\/d please.

You abruptly close down the entire chat and go into the admin section. You then open up the command link and start typing the code on your wall. A small pop-up flashes in the center of your screen that reads "Inter-Time Period Access Enabled". Nice. You also decide to actually name this fucking chat since Saylen and Jazz didn't. Now, what can you name it? "Rai/\/bo\/\/ Ru/\/\pus Partyto\/\/\/". Best name ever. Nobody's ever came up with that before, you are certain.

Ridams: keep goiing

Cavdit: /\/o\/\/ hold do\/\/\/ ctrl.

All: Done.

Cavdit: Alt.

All: Done

Cavdit: A plus \/.

Everyone goes quiet for a minute as they follow your instructions before you hear a couple of gasps and 'huh' come their ends. You decide to do the same and you bring up your game screen, which is stuck on the Vampires hive. You hold all the buttons and a number of tabs appear on the side of your screen, each with a specific symbol on it. The orange mouse looking symbol for Firyut, bright-blue circle with antlers for Yttrim, and so on. To test it out, you move over and click on Jazz's. You are brought to a scene of another human and some pure black character smoking something next to a vehicle. Inside the vehicle, you see a sleeping Jazz. Ok, that's creepy, let's check on someone else.

Firyut seems like someone not crazy to check up on. And she's sitting there drawing. Well, can't blame someone for doing what they love. You almost click on another tab before you hear a ding come from the chat. Someone else must have joined from the future. You switch back to the chat and see another version of Yttrim crying. Not just a normal Yttrim cry, she was fucking bawling. You could even hear Ridams on the other side panicky mumbling to himself.

Jazz: to see why Yttrim was bawling her eyes out?

Cavdit: Right!

Cavdit: Tha/\/k you Jazz/\/\y/\/e.

== Cavdit: Switch screens

You close down the chat screen and go back to the game screen. Hovering the cursor to the green triangle for Mistuo and click. You are now met with a fairly grisly scene. What looked like Saylen but with large, red wings was pacing and panicking over… holy fuck. She was pacing over the body of Mistuo. Dead body, you feel you should say. His body was completely limp from what you could see and his neck was bleeding. Not like a knife slice across the neck, no this was extremely thin and surrounded the entire skin. His face was a pale green too, probably showing signs of strangling. Saylen wasn't really doing much aside panicking, which is weird to you. She said she was from the future, so she would have known this was gonna happen. Why is she freaking out like this? Something doesn't add up here.
