Chapter 7 - GROUP CHAT - bonus side story

TENANT GROUP CHAT

Sheldon Cooper: Greetings, fellow tenants. I have expanded this group chat to include all current residents for the purposes of efficiency, coordination, and the reduction of chaos. Please acknowledge. — S.

Max: Expanded? Sheldon, this chat already feels overcrowded.

Leonard: At least he didn't call it mandatory.

House: Give it time.

Penny: Oh wow—hi everyone! Is this, like… a building thing?

Max: Welcome, Penny. You've joined the circus.

Penny: Cool. I've been in worse auditions.

Brenda: Who made this chat? And why do I already regret joining it?

Chloe: Morning, Chief—uh, Brenda.

Brenda: It's Sunday. Brenda is fine.

Sheldon Cooper: Your informal address preference has been noted. Welcome, Brenda Johnson, Chief of Police.

Brenda: …You're already profiling me, aren't you?

House: He does that. I fake medical charts just to upset him.

Helen: Hello everyone. Is this where the noise is coming from?

Trixie: HI HELEN!!! <3 <3 <3

Helen: Oh. That answers my question.

Mike: Wait, why am I in this chat?

Raymond: Because you live here, Mike.

Mike: Right. I keep forgetting that part.

Max: Sheldon… you made a group chat for our building? What's next, a mandatory dress code for breakfast?

Leonard: I mean… not a bad idea.

Sheldon Cooper: Negative. Dress code is irrelevant. This chat is purely functional.

House: Functional, huh? So I can text "I'm taking over the grill" and everyone obeys?

Sheldon Cooper: Incorrect. This is not a command hierarchy. It is a coordination tool.

Sheldon Cooper: This chat will be used for announcements, emergencies, and structured communication.

Max: Structured. That lasted thirty seconds.

Penny: So if I, hypothetically, lock myself out again… this is where I ask for help?

House: Hypothetically, yes. Realistically, we laugh first.

Brenda: I'm already concerned.

Trixie: I can put emojis! 🦄 🦄 🦄🦄 🦄 🦄

Trixie: NEW GAME!!! Who can send the most unicorns in one minute???🦄 🦄 🦄

Brenda: Is this a prank? Because if it is, I respect it.

Sheldon Cooper: This is an experiment.

House: That's worse.

Penny: I'm in.🦄 🦄

Helen: I don't know how to do emojis.

Trixie: I'LL TEACH YOU!!! 

Mike:Please don't.

Chloe:Sheldon, are there rules for this?

Sheldon Cooper:Yes. I will be moderating.

Max: That's adorable.

Chloe: Wait… so every time Max burns a cupcake or someone floods a toilet, we report it here?

Max: Exactly. Sheldon, you made my life easier AND harder at the same time.

Raymond: Sheldon, if this chat gets out of hand, I'm deleting it. That's an order.

Sheldon Cooper: Noted. But orders are irrelevant. I'm the administrator.

John Wick: Administrator? Are there permissions? Can I ban someone for posting memes?

Sheldon Cooper: Yes. You may be demoted for excessive meme usage.

Trixie: I just sent 100 unicorn gifs!

Leonard: Sheldon…

Sheldon Cooper: Punitive action is now in effect. Trixie, consider this your first warning.

House: This is better than Netflix. I'll be following for entertainment purposes only.

Max: [Image: A very burnt cupcake] As a warning to all tenants. You're welcome.

Trixie: Ha!

Chloe: Can someone make a poll? I vote on "Who ate my coffee?"

Raymond: No polls. Just peace and order.

House: Fine. I'll just anonymously blame it on Sheldon. Works every time.

Sheldon Cooper: House, I see your strategy. It will not succeed. Evidence must be documented.

Trixie: Oooh! Can we make a game? Every time someone breaks a rule, we give them Sheldon a sticker!

Sheldon Cooper: This… is actually… acceptable.

Max: I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to this group chat…

John Wick: Me neither. I mean… maybe just a little.

Raymond: Alright, everyone. Let's not destroy the building with this chat before dinner.

Trixie: No promises.

Trixie: New idea! Competition—who can send the most unicorn gifs in one minute?

Max: Trixie, you realize Sheldon's going to calculate the exact number and declare the winner before the timer ends, right?

Sheldon Cooper: Incorrect. Probability and combinatorics are part of a controlled experiment. I will ensure fairness.

House: Controlled experiment? I've been burned by your experiments before, doc. Count me out.

Leonard: I'm just here to make sure Sheldon doesn't break anything… or us.

Raymond: Sheldon, this chat better not lead to a emotional damage or I'm deleting the app.

Trixie: I will send 50 unicorn emoji! Wait, I can do more!

Chloe: Sheldon, what happens if Trixie sends 500?

Sheldon Cooper: I will have to invoke a digital cooldown protocol. Ten minutes minimum.

John Wick: Or we could just mute her for a second. Problem solved.

Max: Muted? Noooo, we can't stop the chaos now! It's entertaining!

Trixie: VIDEO CALL TIME!

Everyone: WHAT?!

[Incoming Video Call from Trixie] [ And Invite 3 of Her Friend Into The Group Chat]

Trixie: Look everyone! My friends want to join the chat! Say hi!

Kindergartner 1: Unicorns are the best!

Kindergartner 2: I want cupcakes!

Kindergartner 3: Who's that grumpy man?

House: Is this… real? She's really doing this.

Sheldon Cooper: This is an egregious breach of quantum social protocol! I demand an immediate containment!

Leonard: Sheldon… it's just a video call… calm down.

Max: Oh no… Trixie is teaching them to spam gifs too!

Trixie: Everyone! Send your unicorn gifs! NOW!

Chloe: Oh my god… why am I supervising this?!

Raymond: I should've installed a firewall in this building for my own sanity.

Helen: [Waving in background] Hi kids!

John Wick: I feel like we're all trapped in some weird kindergarten dystopia.

Sheldon Cooper: This is a catastrophe of unprecedented magnitude!

House: Sheldon… lighten up. It's adorable chaos.

Max: Adorable? I'm going to need wine after this.

Raymond: Or a lobotomy.

[Sheldon Remove the Kindergartner kids]

Sheldon Cooper : I have already remove the kindergartner.

Trixie: Okay everyone! Next challenge—who can name all the planets in order!

Sheldon Cooper: Finally, a challenge worthy of my intellect!

House: I'm going to lose on purpose… just for fun.

Leonard: I think I'm going to need a nap.

Trixie: Wait… I have one more idea…

Max: Oh no…

Raymond: I think this group chat just turned into a daycare… permanently.

Haley : What is going on in here?

Max : Scroll to the top, honey. And enjoy the chaos.
