Chapter Text

GROUPCHAT - Mouse Sensei And Students

 

Ghost Girl

@The_Blood_Son

I love all of ur animals

I would die for jerry

 

The_Blood_Son

Good. 

 

Ghost Boy

I, too.

Would die for Jerry.

 

Mouse Bug

Same.

 

Ghost Girl

We should form a club

The WDFJ club

 

Ghost Boy

The Would Die For Jerry Club?

 

Ghost Girl

Yes

 

Mouse Bug

I’ll join that club

 

The_Blood_Son

I don’t know how to respond to this.

 

Ghost Girl

We love your turkey

 

The_Blood_Son

I can see that, yes.

 

Babababs

It’s a compliment

Take it.

 

The_Blood_Son

If so it is an odd one.

 

Mouse Bug

it is yeah

 

Ghost Girl

Hey Bloodson

Are YOU part of The WDFJ Club?

 

The_Blood_Son

Naturally.

 

Ghost Boy

We’re up to four members

Babs!

Are you gonna join??

 

Babababs

You know what?

Sure.

I would die for Jerry. 

 

Ghost Girl
5 members.

Now all we need is robot and Notactuallyanerd!

 

Mouse Bug

@My Little Robot

Would you die for Jerry?

 

Ghost Girl

@Notactuallyanerd would YOU die for Jerry?

 

Notactuallyanerd

Naturally.

 

Ghost Girl

We got 6!

 

My Little Robot

I would die for him.

 

Mouse Bug

All 7 of us

Perfect

 

Ghost Boy

You know what this means

 

<Ghost Boy changed the chat name to The WDFJ Club>

 

Mouse Bug

I remember the last time the name was changed we talked about how much people would be confused if they saw it on our phones

This one is much weirder.

 

Babababs

Agreed

Though it is better for the war because if one of the enemies were going to look over our shoulders, they would see ‘Mouse Sensei as part of the chat name and would get another clue.

 

The_Blood_Son

They would never get a chance to look over my shoulder.

 

Ghost Boy

I wouldn’t doubt it

But just in case ya know?

 

Mouse Bug

Have a plan for everything.

My Little Robot

If they were going to look

They would see Mouse’s username anyway

I could make something to prevent that

Make it so that the screen would turn off if certain people looked at it

 

Babababs

Oh that’s a good idea

Can I help?


My Little Robot

I’ll DM you

 

Mouse Bug

We’ve lost them

 

Notactuallyanerd

At least it means we’re going to get a cool new phone feature soon?

 

Ghost Girl

Heck yeah

 

Notactuallyanerd

Ellie eat.

 

Ghost Girl

Thx

 

----------

 

Mouse Bug

I’m making The WDFJ Club shirts

I need your measurements

Robot I already have yours don’t worry

 

Ghost Boy

Sweet

I’ll DM them to you

 

Ghost Girl

I do not know my measurements

I’ll go buy a tape measure and get back to you

 

Notactuallyanerd

I’d have to ask my mom what mine are

 

Babababs

I have mine and Bloodson’s

 

The_Blood_Son

Is this necessary?

 

Mouse Bug

Yes.

I’m going to need a place to ship these too as well

After I’m done, of course.

I’m also going to do all of the shirts in different colors

Any base color requests?

 

The_Blood_Son

Black.

 

Ghost Girl

That was fast

And also basic

I’m basic too I want white

 

Ghost Boy

Can Ellie and my shirts be inverts of each other?

 

Mouse Bug

Invert like negative colors or invert like her stitching color is your base color and vice versa? 

 

Ghost Boy

The second one

I want to match

 

Ghost Girl

I like that idea yessss

 

Mouse Bug

So besides white, what do you want your other color to be?

 

Ghost Girl

Neon green

If Ghost Boy likes it

 

Ghost Boy

Lol

Yes

 

Mouse Bug

I can work with that

What color do you want your stitching? @The_Blood_Son

Or can I choose?

 

The_Blood_Son

I will let you choose if you don’t make it some ridiculous color.

 

Mouse Bug

I take it you don’t want bright pink, then.

 

Babababs

I would PAY to see Bloodson in a bright pink outfit

 

Mouse Bug

I take paid commissions

 

The_Blood_Son

Don’t you DARE.

 

Babababs

I won’t

Well I won’t get something for YOU

Depending on the craftsmanship of these shirts I might get something for Dick.

 

Ghost Boy

Is Dick a person?

Because it is capitalized…

 

Babababs

Yeah Dick is Bloodson’s oldest brother

 

Ghost Girl

Tell him that’s a fabulous name

 

Babababs

I will don’t worry

 

Mouse Bug

OK so I’m going to choose a sensible color for you, don’t worry.

Babs, any requests?

 

Babababs

I would like a dark purple base with yellow stitching.

 

Mouse Bug

Ok ok

@Notactuallyanerd

What about you?

 

Notactuallyanerd

I’m back! 

I have my measurements now.

Oh right

Blue and red?

I don’t care which is which.

 

Ghost Girl

You’re basic too!

But in a more fun way than me and Bloodson lol

Primary colors rather than grey scale

 

The_Blood_Son

This is twice now you’ve called me basic.

And yet, I’m not mad.

 

Ghost Girl

I haven’t been phrasing it as an insult

And I’ve also been referring to myself the same way

So like

I’d hope you weren’t mad

 

The_Blood_Son

If Zombie_Bird had called me basic, I would have attempted to stab him.

 

Notactualllyanerd

This is true

Not even hyperbole

He has a sword

 

Ghost Girl

Man I want a sword

Oi Ghost Boy

Do you have a sword I could use?

 

Ghost Boy

I could ask Aunt P

And also @The_Blood_Son that’s a mood

 

The_Blood_Son

Wanting to stab those who insult you is a ‘mood’?

 

Ghost Boy

Yes.

 

Ghost Girl

Specifically the Froot Loop

 

Ghost Boy

Especially the Froot Loop

 

Notactuallyanerd

Ellie told me about him

I hate him too

 

Ghost Boy

Really?

Ellie how much did you tell?

 

Ghost Girl

My whole life story

Plus context

 

Ghost Boy

EVERYTHING then

Yeah the Froot Loop is the worst

 

Mouse Bug

Wait isn’t he the creep crushing on your mom?

He’s important to Ellie’s mysterious backstory???

 

Babababs

Wait really?

 

Notactuallyanerd

Wait Babs were you even here for most of Ellie’s vague hinting about her tragic past?

 

Babababs

Well no but I did read through the chat history.

 

The_Blood_Son

Of course you did.

Elaboration? 

 

Ghost Boy

Remember how Ellie said her first father figure tried to kill her?

 

Mouse Bug

...yes.

 

Ghost Boy

That was the Froot Loop.

 

Mouse Bug

Oh so he’s worse than we thought

 

Babababs

So he’s graduated from lusting after a married woman to attempted murder.

 

Notactuallyanerd

He’s actually done worse than that.

 

Ghost Girl

Indeed…..

 

Mouse Bug

Now there’s three of them.

More hints though.

 

Babababs

Wait NAAN didn’t you say she might be like your brother?

Was that ever confirmed??

 

Mouse Bug

NAAN?

 

Notactuallyanerd

Not Actually A Nerd

I’m guessing

 

Ghost Girl

Yeah that was confirmed

 

The_Blood_Son

Really now?

And if he was your first father figure

Then he really has done worse.

 

Ghost Boy

Wait NAAN, your brother is like Ellie????

 

Ghost Girl

Apparently

 

Ghost Boy

Oh wow

 

Mouse Bug

I feel like I’m missing some massive piece of context.

 

The_Blood_Son

You are.

 

Mouse Bug

Feel like explaining?

 

Notactuallyanerd

It’s kind of my brother’s secret?

I’m not sure if I should share it…

 

Ghost Girl

I could say what I am

And then you wouldn’t be saying anything about your brother

The context of your brother is how Bloodson and Babs figured it out anyway so I might as well just tell her

 

Mouse Bug

So what are you?

 

Ghost Girl

I’m a clone

 

Mouse Bug

A clone???

 

Notactuallyanerd

It’s a long story

I know because I heard the whole thing

 

Mouse Bug

I thought cloning wasn’t a thing yet??

 

The_Blood_Son

Not to the public.

All of those with access to the technology are keeping it firmly under wraps.

Only those affected by its existence are aware of it outside of its creators.

 

Mouse Bug

Ah

Ok then

 

Babababs

Ellie if you don’t mind me asking

Who’s your original?

Is it Ghost Boy’s other sister?

 

Ghost Girl

I don’t mind

And nah it’s not Jazz

See, the Froot Loop made his cloning tech himself, and there were a lot of problems with it

I’m actually Ghost Boy’s clone

 

Ghost Boy

Creep wanted me to be his son

Tried cloning me when I said no

Got mad when he couldn’t make a “Proper” clone

 

Ghost Girl

Just because I came out a girl

Seriously dude

 

Mouse Bug

That is

EXTREMELY messed up

 

The_Blood_Son

Indeed.

 

Babababs

And from the way you talk about him

I’m guessing he’s not in jail

 

Ghost Girl

Nope!

 

Mouse Bug

That’s even more messed up.

 

Notactuallyanerd

Yeah he should really be put in jail

But from what Ellie told me

He wouldn’t stay there

 

Babababs

?

 

Ghost Boy

The dude is Meta

 

Babababs

Oh

 

The_Blood_Son

Meta enough to escape jail?

 

Ghost Girl

He can walk through walls

 

Mouse Bug

That would do it alright

I’m adding him to my list of people I hate

 

Notactuallyanerd

But you’re so nice??

Who are the other people on the list?

 

Mouse Bug

Well this guy is the might be the most horrible so far

Maybe

 

The_Blood_Son

Who could you have met that would top him?

 

Mouse Bug

Oh boy

I forget that people outside of France don’t know 

 

Ghost Boy

Don’t know what

Don’t know what Mouse

 

The_Blood_Son

Mouse Sensei?

 

Mouse Bug

So Paris has a supervillain

And heroes

 

Ghost Boy

Wow really!?

 

Babababs

It does?

I feel like we would have heard about that…

 

Notactuallyanerd

Yeah I mean

Isn’t Paris a huge tourist city?

 

Mouse Bug

It’s been kept under wraps by a combination of magic and the mayor restricting the media. Also a lot of region specific websites and information.

If you have a VPN set it to france and look up “The Ladyblog”

There should be a tab with a rundown of the situation.

 

Babababs

Holy…

I looked it up.

I would say it’s a roleplay blog for my own sanity but

The videos aren’t edited more than a few jump cuts.

 

Notactuallyanerd

I also looked it up?

Is this seriously real??

That’s terrifying…

 

The_Blood_Son

I have to agree.

 

Babababs

And everyone thinks Gotham is a bad place to live…

Sheesh.

 

Ghost Girl

So it took me a hot second to download a VPN

But I did

And

Wow

 

Ghost Boy

I haven’t looked it up yet

But those are some somber reactions

 

Ghost Girl

Dude

Look it up

It’s a frickin miraculous fight.

 

Ghost Boy

Wait seriously??

 

Mouse Bug

You’ve heard of the Miraculous??

 

Ghost Boy

My parents are obsessed with the paranormal

They have a ton of old books and tomes

Along with Chaos

Because she’s goth

And yeah, the Miraculous are talked about in a few.

 

Babababs

Really?

Because I can’t find anything about them other than stuff from Paris

 

Ghost Boy

They’re REALLY old books.

 

The_Blood_Son

Even then the Parisians don’t know much about the actual miraculous.

What can You tell us about them?

 

Ghost Boy

They’re jewelry inhabited by small deities embodying concepts of the universe called Kwamii

Without a miraculous as a conduit, the Kwamii can’t be seen or touched by mortals.

A Kwamii’s power is so immense that they need a further human conduit in order to use their abilities safely.

Lol I’m actualy just paraphrasing the book

I have it right here

 

The_Blood_Son

While that is very interesting

#10

 

Ghost Boy

FRICK

 

Notactuallyanerd

That’s terrifying.

 

Babababs

Seconded.

 

Mouse Bug

Well then.

Those books know more than Paris does, that’s for sure.

 

Ghost Girl

I want to meet a kwamii

The illustrations make them look adorable.

 

Ghost Boy

They really do

 

Babababs

You would think that the heroes would have contacted the Justice League by now though, right?

In the videos they look like kids!

 

Mouse Bug

Well…

They tried

They were told not to prank call the Justice league.

 

Babababs

What. 

 

Mouse Bug

Well it’s not like there’s much physical proof when an attack isn’t happening!

You’ve seen the videos of the Miraculous cure!

 

Notactuallyanerd

That cure is awesome by the way

 

Ghost Boy

Wait cure??

Like

The Ladybug Miraculous????

 

The_Blood_Son

Indeed

Is there something wrong with that?

 

Ghost Boy

none at all

Continue.

I’m going to look it up for myself now.

 

Mouse Bug

And anyway it’s for the best, really.

Can you imagine an Akumatized superman??

 

Notactuallyanerd

I can

I don’t like it.

 

Mouse Bug

Exactly.

So anyway the other people on my Hate list are Hawkmoth and this one pathological liar without a moral compass.

 

Ghost Boy

Yeah I can see how that would make it onto your hit list.

 

Mouse Bug

Not a hit list

A Hate list

 

The_Blood_Son

Not for me.

I’m adding both the Froot Loop and Hawkmoth to my hit list.

 

Notactuallyanerd

Oh boy.

 

Mouse Bug

This was fun

I’m going to leave to work on the shirts now bye

 

Notactuallyanerd

Bye?

 

Ghost Girl

Bye

 

Ghost Boy

Bye

 

Babababs

Bye

 

The_Blood_Son

Farewell.

 

Ghost Boy

You’re doing that on purpose now aren’t you.

 

The_Blood_Son

And if I am?

 

Ghost Boy

If you are then you’re fabulous

Keep up the dramatics, my dramatic friend.

 

The_Blood_Son

I will do my best.

Notes:

ahaHA! They know about the Akumas now!!!!

So about Danny's reaction to the miraculous, in my version of the episode "Infinite Realms", Danny was time travelling for a lot longer than one afternoon, but since time travel everything worked out. During that time he met and worked with several groups of miraculous holders against the Tyrant Plasmius. Yes that means Tikki would totally recognize his ghost form, Sam, and Tuck. while the Fentons do have books that mention the miraculous, they have nothing on Danny's personal experiences, that he told Ellie about. obviously.

ALSO!!!!!
my sister recently published her Webtoon!!!! she's been working on it for a really long time and I personally think it's AMAZING. this might be because there's a character based on me, and I also have writing credits (under the moniker "Nameless Ghost") BUT STILL! It's called "Cass Kingdom" and it's a high fantasy about a sarcastic human adventurer, a bubbly fairy girl (me!!), and an adorable amnesiac genie. GO! AND GIVE MY SISTER THE HAPPINESS Y'ALL GIVE ME!!!
