Class Groupchat

*1:00am*

PainterGirl: SOMEONE PLEASE BE ON

PainterGirl: SOMETHING BAD JUST HAPPENED

ChaoticBitch: Iroha it's 1 am what the fuck is it

PainterGirl: Mikado!

FireDad: Mikado?

Emmy: Calm down Iroha, explain fully

PainterGirl: I wanted some water so I went to the kitchen and Mikado was on the ground

Rhythm: So that's the scream I heard

Sorta: Hold on

Sorta: Mikado was on the ground?? As in passed out??

PainterGirl: Yeah

PainterGirl: He's out cold

PainterGirl: Mask is off

PainterGirl: He looks terrible

Koko-Puffs: Explain

PainterGirls: Looks really tired

PainterGirl: Like he hasn't slept in days

*PainterGirl sent passout.jpg* (Mikado on the ground, passed out on his back. His Mask is not in the picture as he had bags under his eyes)

EyeforEye: Yikes he does look really tired

Koko-Puffs:...

Emmy: Something up Kokoro?

Koko-Puffs: Iroha, can you check something for me?

PainterGirl: Oh sure, what?

Koko-Puffs: Take off one of Mikado's gloves

PainterGirl: What!? Why??

Koko-Puffs: Just do it and tell me what you see

PainterGirl: Okay

Sorta: What are you getting at Kokoro?

Koko-Puffs: You'll see

PainterGirl: fejhfdejswuidaweu

LuckyBoi: Iroha???

PainterGirl: Sorry I dropped my phone

PainterGirl: His hands scared me

ChaoticBitch: Scared you??

PainterGirl: Look

*PainterGirl sends burns.jpg* (Mikado's hand with dark burns all over it)

Melody: OH MY GOD

Hostess: God that's so bad. How did he even burn his arms like that??

Koko-Puffs: His magic most likely

Koko-Puffs: Alright, Iroha put the glove back on and pull down the sleeves of one of his arms

PainterGirl: Alright

ProteinMom: Kokoro do you think something is going on?

Koko-Puffs: Yeah

Koko-Puffs: Yuki and Sora tried to contact Mikado privately but he seemed off

Koko-Puffs: If what Iroha reveals is what I think, then I have a good idea of what's happening

PainterGirl: Oh my god...

Rhythm: What is it??

*PainterGirl sends ohmggod.jpg* (Cuts on Mikado's wrist. Some look new, while some are older)

SpaceBoi: Are those...?

Koko-Puffs: Cuts

Koko-Puffs: Lots of them

Koko-Puffs: Everyone, I believe I know what's going on

Emmy: What is it?

Koko-Puffs: Mikado is trying to hurt himself, and with that, pushing everyone away.

ChaoticBitch: But why?

Koko-Puffs: I think we should discuss this in the morning

Koko-Puffs: It's quite late

Koko-Puffs: @ProteinMom @FireDad can you two go to the kitchen and help take Mikado to the infirmary?

ProteinMom: You got it

FireDad: We'll be down in a minute Iroha

PainterGirl: Okay

Koko-Puffs: Everyone get some rest

Koko-Puffs: We have a lot to discuss

*10 am*

Koko-Puffs: Is everyone here?

Sorta: I think so, pretty much everyone is shown as online

Hostess: Except for Syobai of course

Koko-Puffs: We can get him in a minute, for now, let us discuss what I know so far

Koko-Puffs: While I cannot make any proper theories, I do have a plan on how we can find out more

Koko-Puffs: And it's going involve everyone

ProteinMom: Alright, so what's the plan?

Koko-Puffs: So as you all know, I can see the past of a person just by looking at them. Usually, I do it with consent, however, Mikado most likely wouldn't consent to it, so we need to do it by force

Melody: Well if he wouldn't give you permission, why didn't you do it before when he wore half of his mask??

Koko-Puffs: Two reasons. One, it wasn't a major issue then, so there was no point in doing so

Koko-Puffs: Second, there are certain people I can't do, even with consent. Syobai and Mikado are two examples of this

Rhythm: So if you can't do it then, how do you plan to do it now?

Koko-Puffs: Mikado seems much more vulnerable at this moment, so if we remove his mask by force, the amount of emotion he'll show will be enough for me to use my skill

LuckyBoi: I see, that makes sense

FireDad: Alright, how do we help?

Koko-Puffs: We need Syobai here first before I explain that, someone get him in here

ChaoticBitch: Got it

ChaoticBitch: @FuckOff get in here

FuckOff: What

Sorta: Scroll up

FuckOff: Too lazy, just tell me what you want

Koko-Puffs: We're gonna need you to help us out with an intervention

FuckOff: What do I need to do

Koko-Puffs: When Mikado comes in, you and Nikei will hold him while one of you will grab his mask and take it off

FuckOff: $100

FuckOff: I'll only do it if you pay me

Hostess: Godamnit our classmate needs our help and all you care about is money

FuckOff: I don't do anything for free or for good

FuckOff: Don't like it, then don't pay

Koko-Puffs: I'll pay for it

Koko-Puffs: I'll bring the money to your room later on

FuckOff: Was that really hard?

FuckOff: If that's all I'm going off

*FuckOff went offline*

Emmy: What about the rest of us Kokoro?

Koko-Puffs: You'll all be there just in case anything goes wrong

Koko-Puffs: It'll take me a second to analyze the information I get so most likely you'll have to calm him down if he starts panicking

EyeforEye: Alright we can do that

PainterGirl: So when are we going to do this?

Koko-Puffs: Unfortunately, our next mandatory class is a while away, so we're gonna have to lie a bit to him in order to do this

Koko-Puffs: Shinji, if Mikado texts you, let him know that the next mandatory class was moved to this Friday due to the teacher having a field trip coming up

FireDad: Alright, but how do you know he'll text me?

Koko-Puffs: You and Hajime did help him to the infirmary, so he'll text one of you two to thank you for that

FireDad: Well then, leave it to me

Koko-Puffs: Emma, can you come with me to give the money to Syobai?

Emmy: Sure, I'll meet you at your room

Sorta: Guess we're good for now

Mikado -> Shinji

Mikado: Hey Shinji

Mikado: Mikan told me you, Hajime and Iroha were the ones who brought me in

Mikado: So thank you for that

Shinji: Ah, no problem. You doing okay?

Mikado: Ah yeah, I think I'm coming down with something. I'll be fine though
