After getting out of his old clothes and into new ones, Evan reached out for the phone on his desk. He sat down at his monitor, switching it on and feeling around for the headset as he messaged Delirious.
"Hey man, you up for part 2 of the scary Gmod map later? Tyler wants to record at 12:30."
"Shit, I can't. I'm busy, but you can continue without me, it's fine. You gotta finish it before E3."
"Busy? With what? We can't continue without you!"
"Stuff, you'll see later. Sure you can, it's as easy."
Evan wanted to protest, he wanted to say 'it won't be the same without you', 'it won't be fun then', but he stopped himself as Jonathan continued, "Just go ahead, I gotta get going now actually. I'll text to later, but if you're editing don't bother answering right away, I know you're pretty busy. How late did you even stay up?"
"Too late, way too damn late. And if you text me I don't care what I'm doing, I will answer."
"Aw, so sweet Vanoss. I love yoooouuuuu."
"Yeah, yeah, stfu. I already got Tyler messin with me, apparently everyone's on board the H2OVanoss ship."
"Really? Fuck, lol."
"Yep, but it was all the fault of one fucker."
"Nogla?"
"Mmmhm."
"That bastard lol. Anyway babe, I gotta get going. Love ya." Attached to the text was a gif of an obviously super gay dude blowing a kiss.
"Love ya too, dick." Attached was an image of Evan's favorite finger, just for Delirious and every other fucker in their group.
Everything was basically chaos. Marcel was whining in the corner of his room after being jumpscared for about the 4th time. Evan was repeating his stupid "scream" (AKA just "Ahhh. Ahhhh. Ahhh. Ahhhh."). Tyler was yelling at him to shut the fuck up while beating him mercilessly with a crowbar, eventually killing the still screaming Luigi player model. Craig was laughing his ass off, being the one in the back of the line in the small, narrow vent. He hadn't witnessed the jumpscare, but he sure as hell heard the screams from both the terrifying jpg and his friends.
Vanoss v-clipped back to the group, waiting in the next room for them. "Marcel, fucking move so we can get out!" Tyler shouted, though everyone could hear the smile in his voice. Mini v-clipped out to stand beside Evan while the other two idiots crawled out of the vent, jumping down to shelf, then the floor to join their friends.
"Well, that was so bad, huh?" The last words that escaped Evan's mouth turned to a scream along with everyone else as more jpgs appeared on their screens, shrieking. During all the chaos, zombies spawned, surrounding and immediately killing the four.
Spawning again, they found themselves in a small black and red room like the one they started in. "ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME." Marcel practically screamed. "Oho my god," A chuckle hid itself in Wildcat's yell. Mini giggled, "I knew this would fucking happen." Vanoss turned to see what everyone was so mad about.
"The End." He read aloud the two words, small compared to the tiny wall, "Seriously?!"
"That's horseshit," Tyler shook his head and laughed when he heard Evan facepalm over his headset, "real fuckin' horseshit."
"Damn right it is!" Basically raged, "The map was fuckin' small to begin with! I got scared shitless for THIS!?"
"We really shouldn't be surprised anymore," Craig shook his head, "this happens every time."
"Every fucking time." Evan agreed as he pulled out a RPG, killing everyone instantly, the call erupted in laughter. The next 45 minutes was spent killing each other. As bonus for the end of their videos, the four created a new game in which the hid in different parts of the map before hunting each other down. Vanoss was hiding from Marcel when he glanced over at his phone, becoming completely oblivious to the game and his friends.
What would Delirious have done? How much more fun would it have been if he had joined?
Evan couldn't help but wonder. Would Jon be the one in the front of the line in the vent, screaming his head off and beating everything with his crowbar, only to damage the health of his friends instead? Or would he have been the one in the back, laughing his ass off like Mini? Would he have completely lost it when seeing the burnt corpse posing as it hung from the ceiling? Would he have been as pissed as everyone else when seeing the ending, but then just laughed it all off? Would he have again been the one to solve all the puzzles along with Basically?
Vanoss could practically hear his best friend at the end of the map;
"What?" he'd die laughing, wheezing, "What the fu-hahauhaa-uuuck!? That's bullshit! Hahaha!"
If only Evan had refused to continue, and waited for Jonathan. He wanted to hear his maniacal laughter, his screams turn to chuckles and giggles as he was jumpscared. Vanoss could just barely picture his friend laughing at his monitor, wearing his headset with a soda nearby, holding his stomach as he giggled. Trying to picture him made Evan long to see Delirious' face even more.
Marcel continued to beat the now limp and bloodied body of Luigi, "Evan?" the name snapped Vanoss out of his thoughts as he looked back to the monitor screen. "Yeah?"
"Are you super pissed?"
"What? No, why would I be?"
"Because I just fucking ran up and murdered you, everyone was yelling and laughing, you were silent the whole time."
"Yeah," Craig agreed, "you didn't even scream, yell, or… well, react at all."
Tyler joined in as Evan respawned, "Exactly, I was at least waiting for a 'no, fuck you!' or somethin' like that."
Everyone laughed and Vanoss rubbed the back of his neck, "Fuck, sorry I didn't even notice. I got distracted."
"By what? Your boyfriend?" Wildcat snickered.
"Boyfriend?" Basically repeated with a chuckle, "The fuck?"
"Yes, totally," Evan responded sarcastically, though it was true. Except for the part about Delirious being his boyfriend unfortunately. "I'm confused," Mini giggled, "what fucking boyfriend—oooh!"
"Oh wait, you mean… Oh!" Marcel laughed, "I'm sorry, I just boarded this ship!"
"Wait a fuckin minute, it was true? You guys are really boarding this shit?!" Evan facepalmed. Whatever, they could think what they wanted to, it wasn't like it'd really happen or anything, but for reason he couldn't explain, Vanoss felt a bit upset thinking like that.
"Sorry Evan, you guys are the perfect dream couple." Craig laughed. Evan pointed his next words directly at Wildcat, "I feel like this was your doing, pig."
"What? Hell no! I told you, it was fuckin Nogla!"
Vanoss pursed his lips, "I cant trust any of you."
Tyler chuckled, "The ship is fuckin cute as shit, I love it."
"Oh yeah?" Evan decided to throw the bullets right back, "Is it as cute as MiniCat? That reminds me, have you two fucked yet? Because it's about damn time."
At this, even Mini was flustered. He obviously was taken back by the response. Basically was in the background yelling, "Oooooooooh!"
Tyler huffed, "Wanna take this outside?"
"Maybe later. I gotta go beat the shit out of Nogla real quick." Evan replied and stretched out his arms, "Then maybe I'll see if I have time to fuck Delirious."
Everyone laughed, and Craig smiled and left the game, "Well, guys, it was fun. Gotta go pack."
"E3 isn't for another 3-4 days, dude." Marcel raised a brow.
"Don't question me."
"Yeah, don't question him," Tyler left the game as well, "come on baby, lets ditch these bitches." Mini laughed as he exited to call. "Damn," Basically smirked, "everyone's being dragged into the sinful endless hole of ships."
"Shit! We're all gonna die!" Evan yelled and his two friends laughed. "Whelp, see ya later, fuckers." Tyler saluted before leaving the call, followed by Marcel. Vanoss huffed a small laugh, looking back at his phone, "Yeah, that endless hole."
