GC: 118 A-Shift Work Chat (Bobby, Chimney, Hen, Buck, Eddie, Ravi)
Bobby: Good morning, team! Looking forward to a smooth 24 to kick off the month. As a quick reminder, please remember not to keep food in the lockers. We have a fridge and cabinet space in the loft, and I would prefer not to call an exterminator due to a pest problem. There’s enough space for everyone. -Bobby Nash
Buck: it was one time!
Hen: One time too many, Buckaroo
Eddie: Why was there food in your locker, Buck?
Buck: i may have shoved it in there when i was in a rush to get changed and forgot to bring it to the fridge
Chim: and how long did you forget about it for, Buck?
Buck: …
three weeks
Eddie: Three weeks?!
Hen: The locker room smelled like moldy peaches for another week after that, too.
Eddie: There was a moldy peach in our locker?!
I hate peaches
Buck: which is why i had it while you were in texas!
Eddie: I can still smell it in the locker, Buck.
Buck: no you cant
i bleached the entire locker
and the one under it when it leaked
Chim: Leaky peach?
Buck: oh my god
pls never say that again
Hen: Chimney.
Ravi: why is this what i open my phone to
leaky peaches🤮
Chim: 🍑
Buck: stop
Bobby: This has migrated from the original issue, please remember this is a work chat. -Bobby Nash
Chim: Sorry, Cap!
Ravi: yeah chim go take your leaky peach somewhere else
Buck reacted 👎 to: yeah chim go take your leaky peach somewhere else
GC: 118&co
Karen: Hey guys! Hen and I were wondering if anyone was up for a beach trip this weekend. Denny and Mara have been wanting to go for a few days so I figured we could make a group out of it. Let us know!
Maddie: yes! Chim and I will come!
Athena: Count Bobby and I in as well.
Harry, too.
Eddie: Buck, Chris and myself will join.
Buck loved: Buck, Chris and myself will join.
May: I have to work this weekend, but I’ll miss you guys!
Athena: I’ll miss you too, baby.
Ravi: i will join the beach trip
Buck: literally no one invited u
Ravi: excuse me i am in this groupchat
Buck: wasn’t my choice
Eddie: Buck.
Be nice.
Ravi: ooooo ur in trouble
Eddie: Nevermind.
Private messaging between Karen and Eddie
Eddie: You are evil.
Karen: May I ask why or should I assume this has to do with Buck
Eddie: A beach trip?
Really?
Karen: Eddie I have no idea what you’re implying.
Eddie: Do you want to know what people don’t wear at the beach?
A shirt.
Or clothes that cover them.
I had a heart attack ten minutes ago because Buck took off his turnouts.
And now I’m supposed to go to the beach?
Karen: Oh.
Oh!
C’mon, Eddie. You’ve seen Buck shirtless before.
Eddie: That was before I knew I was gay!
Now I want to swallow him.
Karen: Okay, ew!
Eddie: Sorry.
Just.. what do I do?
Karen: I have no idea what to do about your desire to consume Buck.
Have you told anyone else yet?
Eddie: No. Just you, Chris, and my sisters.
I think I will soon, though.
Karen: Yay!
Eddie: Thanks again, Karen.
GC: Boat, no captain (Chim, Ravi, Eddie, Hen, Buck)
Buck: where did everyone go

Hen: We’re in the loft.
Chim: just turn the light on
Buck: but then it will hurt my eyes :(
Eddie: And your phone doesn’t?
Buck: no

Eddie: But we’re watching Great British Bake Off
Buck: without me!

Eddie: Fine, I’m coming.
Buck: yay 😍

Eddie: Ok, saved you a spot on the couch.
You can have Ravi’s spot.
Buck loved: You can have Ravi’s spot.
GC: idiot4idiot (Ravi, Hen, Chim, Maddie, Bobby, Athena, May, Karen)
Ravi: lobotomize me
Maddie: ???
Should i be concerned
Hen: I’d say yes, but I’d like Chim to do me first.
Chim: nuh uh, I call dibs on first lobotomy
Ravi: didn’t you already get one
Hen: Ravi is right. I call dibs.
Chim: that was a completely different part of the brain
unfortunately
Maddie: will someone please tell me what’s going on
Athena: I would also like to know.
Ravi sent a screenshot
Athena: Wow.
Bobby: I was going to advise against lobotomizing each other, but I think I may need one as well. -Bobby Nash
May: Flirting in the group chat is crazy.
What episode of GBBO are you guys on?
Hen: I’m not sure. We all fled the room.
Ravi: buck literally has his head in eddie’s lap while he strokes his hair
Chim: did you hear what they said before that
Ravi: you mean eddie telling buck he needs more rest
and that he’ll protect him from the harsh lighting
and then watch him bury his face in eddies stomach
no
Maddie: oh my god
Bobby: Wow. -Bobby Nash
I was not prepared. -Bobby Nash
Hen: Eddie just told Cap to be quiet😆
Ravi: im gonna go pour water over them both
idgaf
Chim: i’m not apart of this
Maddie: Ravi, don’t
Eddie will actually lobotomize you if you disturb bucks rest
Ravi: good!
GC: Boat, no captain (Chim, Ravi, Eddie, Hen, Buck)
Eddie: Ravi.
Where are you.
Ravi: nope
Buck: 🙁
GC: 118&co
Eddie: Uninvite Ravi from the beach trip.
Ravi: hey no
Karen: Why are we uninviting Ravi?
Buck: he dumped water over me and eddie while i was asleep
Hen: The loft couch is soaked.
Bobby: Though I’m unhappy about the couch, Ravi did dry it. -Bobby Nash
Ravi: see! no harm no foul
Buck: except my sleep
and my head where it hit the floor
Eddie: You hit your head?
Buck: yeah but im fine!!
Eddie: Come here. Let me see.
