Crime, Love, and Ghosts. (And others, Probably)

Summary:

Danny is getting frustrated. no matter what he tries he just can't beat Sam at this game! One day while grinding, he comes across the most amazing player he's ever seen, so of course he asks her to teach him her ways.
he's not the only one who's come looking for her assistance either.

The three way crossover chat fic that someone actually did ask for.

Notes:

Welcome to the chat fic I started writing to avoid history homework! I must avoid history homework A LOT because this thing is the biggest fic I've written so far. I had no intention of posting it, but my sister and beta actually begged me to, so I have to now I guess.

You're welcome, sister.

(See the end of the work for more notes and other works inspired by this one.)

Chapter Text

This Is The Beginning Of Your Direct Message History With @ Ghost Boy

 

Ghost Boy

How are you so good??

 

Mouse Bug

Practice i guess??

 

Ghost Boy

Teach me maybe?

I have this other friend whos rly good at video games

And she refuses to teach me

I wanna get good so I can beat her

finally

 

Mouse Bug

Maybe?

I wasn’t planning on spending very much time on the north american servers but I suppose I could

It could be hard because of time differences though

 

Ghost Boy

You’re not from north america?

If you don’t mind me asking

Where are you from?

 

Mouse Bug

No i’m not

And i’m from France

I was hoping to use foreign servers to practice my english

I have a test on friday

 

Ghost Boy

Ugh I hate tests

Valid tho

And France? Dude that’s so cool!

 

Mouse Bug

Anyway yeah I might be able to teach you

 

Ghost Boy

Sweet! She won’t know what hit her!

 

----------

 

Ghost Boy

How was your test? It’s over right?

 

Mouse Bug

Yeah it is

I think I did well

Talking to you has helped!

 

Ghost Boy

Did it?

I was under the impression that you were already fluent

 

Mouse Bug

No

I’m not fluent

I’m using a dictionary right now

 

Ghost Boy

Mood.

 

Mouse Bug

I’m Missing some context on that word

Aren’t I

 

Ghost Boy

Oh yeah whoops

Mood is like, when something is really relatable? I guess?

Like when someone says something like “I stayed up until two doing homework and crying” if you relate to that a lot, you could say mood

If i’m using it right too lol

...you know what lol is?

 

Mouse Bug

I know what lol is

Why did you say mood to me using a dictionary?

 

Ghost Boy

Oh yeah

I like learning languages too, so it was relatable.

 

Mouse Bug

Oh ok

Thanks for the slang lesson

 

Ghost Boy

You’re welcome!

Does this mean you’ll teach me that one combo you used last night?

 

Mouse Bug

I suppose…

 

Ghost Boy

Sweet!

 

----------

 

Mouse Bug

Good morning, thanks for playing with me last night.

 

Ghost Boy

Mouse, I hate to tell you this

But it’s one in the morning over here

I need sleep

But also you’re welcome

 

Mouse Bug

I’m so sorry!

You replied fast

Were you already awake?

 

Ghost Boy

I don’t want to be

But i am.

 

Mouse Bug

What are you doing up?

 

Ghost Boy

Dealing with a pest problem, don’t worry about it.

 

Mouse Bug

Good night ;)

 

Ghost Boy

Goodnight mouse

 

----------

 

Ghost Boy

Mouse?

You good?

Your play style looked even more violent than usual

 

Mouse Bug

Yeah I’m fine

Just some problems at school

 

Ghost Boy

Ahhhh

Yeah I’m no stranger to drama.

Sucks tho.

 

Mouse Bug

Tho?

 

Ghost Boy

Short for Though

 

Mouse Bug

Thanks

 

Ghost Boy

No problem

Anything I can do to help?

With the school thing, I mean

 

Mouse Bug

I don’t think so

Unfortunately

But it is nice to have a friend away from the whole situation

 

Ghost Boy

Then I will gladly be that friend

 

Mouse Bug

Thank you :)

 

Ghost Boy

You’re welcome!

Wanna check out that new map?

 

Mouse Bug

Wanna?

 

Ghost Boy

Want to, shortened to wanna

 

Mouse Bug

Oh

And yes, I wanna check out the new map

 

Ghost Boy

YES!!

 

----------

 

Mouse Bug

Hey

Are you awake?

 

Ghost Boy

Yeah

Why are you?

 

Mouse Bug

Couldn’t sleep

I was wondering if you could give me some inspiration?

 

Ghost Boy

Inspiration?

 

Mouse Bug

Yeah

I suppose that I’m awake

I should be creating

But nothing is coming to me

 

Ghost Boy

I wouldn’t know much about stuff like that, but I could try to help

I would try stargazing

Hey did you know that no star is ever actually green?

 

Mouse Bug

I did not know that

Huh

I might have an idea

Thanks!

 

Ghost Boy

What are you planning to create?

 

Mouse Bug

A jacket

 

Ghost Boy

You sew? 

 

Mouse Bug

You could say that

 

Ghost Boy

Me and my friends tried to learn

I’m the worst at it

Out of the three of us

 

Mouse Bug

Maybe you just need a better teacher

Than whoever was your teacher

 

Ghost Bug

Like you?

Your gonna end up teaching me everything aren’t you

 

Mouse Bug

Is gonna, going to?

 

Ghost Boy

Yep

 

Mouse Bug

I got it!

And I mean sure

It could be hard to teach you over an ocean

But it could work

 

Ghost Boy 

I feel like that’s a ‘maybe’ idea

 

Mouse Bug

You’re probably right

Anyway I’m gonna go get started on that jacket!

 

Ghost Boy

Goodnight mouse!

 

Mouse Bug

Goodnight ghost!

GROUPCHAT - TEAM PHANTOM

 

Friar Tuck

Dude! How are you so good at this all of a sudden?

 

Chaos

Seriously

What the flip.

 

Ghost Boy

A magician never reveals his secrets!

 

Chaos

This is video games, not magic

 

Ghost Boy

You’ll still never know!

 

Friar Tuck

What do I have to give you to learn these ways

I’ve literally never seen that combo before where did you learn it

Dude

Please

 

Ghost Boy

No.

 

Chaos

We gotta cut this short, Technus is attacking the mall.

 

Ghost Boy

What, again?

This is the second time this week!

 

Friar Tuck

The poor mall

Having to endure such abuse

 

Chaos

Can we just. go? Already?

 

Ghost Boy

Omw

 

Friar Tuck

I’ll be there in a bit sheesh

This Is The Beginning Of Your Direct Message History With @ The_Blood_Son

 

The_Blood_Son

I wish to know where you learned that sequence of moves so that I may learn it as well.

 

Mouse Bug

Deja vu

Wow

 

The_Blood_Son

Well?

 

Mouse Bug

I discovered that move

I can teach it to you if you want

 

The_Blood_Son

Very well.

 

Mouse Bug

You have a much different tone than ghost

 

The_Blood_Son

Ghost?

 

Mouse Bug

The other person who asked for my help with this game

Through discord

I have two students now I guess

 

The_Blood_Son

Someone else asked for your help?

 

Mouse Bug

Yeah

 

The_Blood_Son

You must be more skilled than I have seen

To attract more than one pupil through playing alone.

 

Mouse Bug

Yeah

Why are you asking for my help at all though?

Sorry if this sounds rude

But you don’t seem like the type

 

The_Blood_Son

I want to beat my brother at this game

He claims I cannot do it

I will prove him wrong.

 

Mouse Bug

That’s similar to ghost’s reason

Wow

 

The_Blood_Son

What is their reason?

 

Mouse Bug

They want to beat their friend

 

The_Blood_Son

Similar indeed.
