Mira-Bell: Oh dear
invisibleman: what? Faralda!
Light_It_Up: how in oblivion did you not notice that your arms are invisible
invisibleman: excuse you I did notice that my arms are invisible!
invisibleman: I just… thought that the rest of me was invisible too.
Mira-Bell: Before we panic: Drevis, can you dispel it or not
invisibleman: certainly, just a moment.
Light_It_Up: it doesnt look very dispelled to me
invisibleman: IT’S NOT DISPELLING D:
Mira-Bell: Wonderful

Mira-Bell: Not yet, I don’t think. I’ll let you know if it escalates
Mira-Bell: Well, actually, Ancano is being a royal pain in the behind, as usual
Mira-Bell: He’s quite lucky you don’t want him incinerated, because most of the College would gladly do so at this point
Mira-Bell: Myself included
mmmmmagic: Oh, I would love to have him incinerated, but I fear the backlash from the Thalmor.
mmmmmagic: It’s only a matter of time until he interferes in something he shouldn’t, and perishes as a result.
Mira-Bell: I wish I shared your optimism
mmmmmagic: Anything else?
Mira-Bell: Yes, actually
Mira-Bell: It took me several tries to get your username right
Mira-Bell: Are you certain there’s no way to change it
mmmmmagic: Positive, I’m afraid.
mmmmmagic: If it helps any, there are five m’s, just like there are five letters in Savos.
Mira-Bell: That… helps a little. Thank you
Mira-Bell: I’d better check on Drevis
mmmmmagic: Ah, he finally succeeded in his invisibility endeavors?
Mira-Bell: Only partially, and last I heard he couldn’t dispel it
mmmmmagic: That does not sound good.

The Master Race
<Natural_Selection> logged on
Natural_Selection: @ARCANO Report.
<ARCANO> logged on
ARCANO: With every day I spend at this pathetic excuse for a magical institution, I am less and less impressed.
ARCANO: The “Arch-Mage” does nothing but remain in his quarters all day. He is not truly in charge of this College.
Natural_Selection: I cannot say I am surprised, he is a dark elf after all. Who is truly in charge?
ARCANO: Their Master Wizard is Mirabelle Ervine, a Breton who I suspect would pose a significant threat if we moved to secure this College. While their Arch-Mage would not be an issue, this Breton is well-respected here and has significant magical ability for a half-breed.
Natural_Selection: A half-breed? Well respected? This is worse than I thought. Anything else?
ARCANO: Despite their best efforts to conceal it, I have discovered a group chat with the entirety of the College within. I am in the process of gaining access.
Natural_Selection: Continue doing so. You are dismissed.

interrogator: I, ah… are you certain?
Natural_Selection: Are you questioning my judgment, Third Emissary? This is a half-breed we are referring to.

<JusticiarOndolemar> logged on
JusticiarOndolemar: As it happens, it’s remarkably easy to catch visiting Talos worshippers when there is an open Shrine of Talos.
Natural_Selection: Really? They don't even ask the locals?
JusticiarOndolemar: The locals know better, now that we’ve finally arrested that old skald for attempting to. That, and he was a Talos worshipper himself.
Natural_Selection: How surprising. Now, are you almost here?
JusticiarOndolemar: Not quite yet. Due to some inclement weather, our patrol was forced to stop overnight in Dragon Bridge. The locals are understandably wary. I suspect Talos worship.
Natural_Selection: I’ll send someone to look into that within the week. Will you be here in time for the party?
JusticiarOndolemar: Yes. Remind me why this… party is necessary?
Natural_Selection: I'll choose to ignore your insubordination this time, although I will not be so lenient again. It is a way of reminding the Empire that it is us in charge, and that we will win the next war. Understood?
JusticiarOndolemar: Understood. On a different note, the rain outside has stopped, and I believe we can reach the Embassy before sunset if we leave now. Permission to do so?
Natural_Selection: Permission granted. Dismissed.

Skyrim Sucks
<ARCANO> logged on
ARCANO: @all I hate this College.
<JusticiarOndolemar> logged on
JusticiarOndolemar: You think that’s bad? Try Markarth.
JusticarOndolemar: It was built by the Dwemer.
ARCANO: Good point. However, I sincerely doubt the Dwemer have sent a gay Bosmer to mess with you every single time you so much as log in to their group chat.
JusticiarOndolemar: ...what happened?
ARCANO: Exactly what I just said.
ARCANO: How’s the Embassy?
JusticiarOndolemar: Not great. You heard what happened. Rulindil was killed, and he wasn’t the only one. While I personally did not see anything, I did see the aftermath.
ARCANO: Wait, Rulindil DIED?
ARCANO: @interrogator You're not dead, right? Please log on...
JusticiarOndolemar: Did I stutter? Yes. He died. No point in tagging him.
ARCANO: How? When? What happened?
JusticiarOndolemar: You mean Elenwen didn’t bitch at you about it, too?
ARCANO: Not at me. I’m all the way in Winterhold, unfortunately.
JusticiarOndolemar: Not unfortunately. You were lucky to miss it. A Blades agent somehow got an invitation to Elenwen’s party, got into the Embassy, slaughtered every one of us in her path, and escaped with valuable intelligence.
ARCANO: Wait… so how did you survive if the Blade slaughtered everyone in her path?
JusticiarOndolemar: I was at the party, remember? The Blade only slaughtered everyone behind the scenes, minus the prisoners she freed and a former employee working with her. Wood elf.
ARCANO: And you have no idea who this even was?
ARCANO: Ondolemar?
JusticiarOndolemar: No, unfortunately. My apologies for the delay, a citizen just had the bright idea to attempt flirting with me. Charmed, but no thank you.
ARCANO: What is it with Skyrim and flirting? You should see some of the things this damned Bosmer has said!
JusticiarOndolemar: That bad, huh?
ARCANO: He said, and I quote, that “he was the one from my erotic wet dreams.”
JusticiarOndolemar: You have erotic wet dreams?
ARCANO: NO!
ARCANO: AND IF I DID, THIS DAMNED BOSMER WOULDN’T BE IN THEM!
JusticiarOndolemar: Touchy subject, I see, but understood.
JusticiarOndolemar: Say, Ancano. Want to come to Markarth for a change? Root out Talos worshippers, not be up in the freezing north of the freezing north?
ARCANO: And who would be stationed at the College?
JusticiarOndolemar: We could switch places, if you wanted. And if we could get Elenwen to agree.
ARCANO: As tempting as that is, no. Even if Elenwen agreed, which she wouldn’t, this is my job and I must complete it.
JusticiarOndolemar: ...right. What are you doing up there, again?
ARCANO: Ensuring that the College does not pose a threat to the Dominion, and taking or destroying any magical artifacts they might happen to acquire while I am here.
JusticiarOndolemar: Noted. Alright. Good luck with the gay Bosmer.

Chapter 15: (The) Castle (is) Dour
Notes:
Yes, a Stormcloak chatroom is in the works. The Dragonborn in this will not be picking a side, and I'll keep putting up both Imperial and Stormcloak chatrooms as long as this goes for. Which probably will be a while.
A lot of the shenanigans in the Imperial chatroom currently and a lot of the ones planned (especially the bit about spiking tea with dubiously legal drugs) were inspired by the shenanigans of Ask General Tullius.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
(The) Castle (is) Dour
GENERAL: @all any luck recruiting the dragonborn so far
honor: we’re working on it, general
<Just-a-Nord> logged on
Just-a-Nord: I still can’t get over how informal you are in here…
honor: pfft what you thought we were serious all the time
honor: well the general is but he just doesn’t bother with punctuation… or capitalization…
honor: but really, you should see him when he’s drunk.
Just-a-Nord: um.
GENERAL: rikke
honor: yes?
GENERAL: i didnt sign off on this chatroom so you could tell every random soldier all my embarrassing secrets
honor: oh i know.
GENERAL: i could send you off on a suicide mission right now
honor: and i could spike your tea with dubiously legal drugs again so we’re even.
Just-a-Nord: um… I might be able to get in touch with the Dragonborn…
honor: really? nice. you know her?
Just-a-Nord: I… know of her. She was at Helgen, and she’s good friends with a lot of the people in my hometown. Including my uncle.
GENERAL: the dragonborn was at helgen
Just-a-Nord: Yes, sir. She was a prisoner. Was not on the list, but the captain decided to execute her regardless.
GENERAL: without any proof
Just-a-Nord: um… yes, sir. The captain in charge at the moment might have believed her to be a Stormcloak spy.
honor: general, the captain in question died at helgen
GENERAL: well if she hadnt i would have her courtmartialed for that
Just-a-Nord: out of curiosity, sir… would you have had her courtmartialed if the prisoner in question wasn’t the Dragonborn?
GENERAL: what do you take me for of course i would have
honor: coughhedoesn’tbelieveinallthisNordnonsenseanywaycough
GENERAL: rikke by the eight
honor: only stating the facts, general. :)
Just-a-Nord: ...I still can’t believe how informal this is. And why is nobody else talking?
honor: haven’t set up their accounts yet?
GENERAL: sounds reasonable

Fearless: i dont think so
FUSRODIE: ...Rikke wasn’t.
stone-fist: And Tullius was? Huh.
Fearless: wait, Rikke? as in the Imperial second-in-command? you knew her?
FUSRODIE: can we not talk about this right now
stone-fist: Aye. She and Ulfric were fucking.
FUSRODIE: Galmar!
stone-fist: What? You two made it obvious.
Fearless: you were fucking the Imperial second-in-command?
FUSRODIE: ...well, she wasn’t the Imperial second-in-command then.
stone-fist: And you could argue that it was her that was fucking Ulfric!
FUSRODIE: GALMAR!
stone-fist: THIS IS PAYBACK FOR ALL THOSE TIMES, ULFRIC.
stone-fist: THE TWO OF YOU WERE SO LOUD NOT EVEN A MUFFLE SPELL WOULD HAVE HELPED.
Fearless: um… weren’t we talking about the Dragonborn
FUSRODIE: YES.
stone-fist: Nah, we’re talking about Ulfric’s complete lack of a love life after the Great War.

<Fearless> logged on
Fearless: fine, fine, no need to make it personal
Fearless: i didn’t ask when, but i’m assuming during the great war.
Fearless: now if you’ll excuse me i’d like to get back to the stormcloak group chat jarl ulfric just threatened to shout galmar stone-fist into the sea of ghosts if he keeps bringing up rikke
Just-a-Nord: ...I wish I could say the Legion’s group chat was more professional than that.
Fearless: you mean it’s not???
Just-a-Nord: My thoughts exactly. When I left, Legate Rikke was threatening to spike General Tullius’s tea with, and I quote, “dubiously legal drugs”.
Fearless: omfg that’s beautiful
Fearless: well i gotta go
Fearless: see you hadvar
Just-a-Nord: ...you do know this is only going to make it harder when we inevitably meet on the battlefield, right?

redhead: so how did the honningbrew job go?
TheLegend27: psssh honningbrew who the fuck are they
redhead: guessing that means it went well
TheLegend27: yep although it would have been nice to know that poisoning the whiterun captain of the guard wasn’t going to kill him beforehand
TheLegend27: you have to have a certain frame of mind to kill people and it tends to fuck everything up if you don’t actually kill anyone
TheLegend27: fortunately there was a crazy skeever hobo living in the basement
redhead: fortunately?
Jewel_Thief: “you have to have a certain frame of mind to kill people” girl wtf
Jewel_Thief: also brynjolf it’s only a matter of time until niruin goes the same way karliah did
Marksman: I am right here, bitch.
Marksman: Don’t you dare compare me to her.
TheLegend27: who the fuck is karliah
xX_MasterOfStealth_Xx: that’s… not an easy topic for any of us, you know.
TheLegend27: i didnt but im still curious who the fuck is karliah
dont_vex_me: she was the bitch that murdered our last guildmaster
TheLegend27: what
dont_vex_me: before my time but i heard a lot about him from the older members
redhead: yes… it’s even worse when you take into account that karliah and gallus were… involved, if you get what i mean.
Jewel_Thief: Brynjolf we’re thieves you can say they were fucking
redhead: fine. they were fucking.

xX_MasterOfStealth_Xx: I’m pretty sure Mercer did but I’ll check

shadowScale: how come when I do something I always get in trouble
shadowScale: but when Arnbjorn does something he doesn’t

ConjurationYes: Alright…? Why
The_Only_Nord: this is an intervention, nobody should have to listen to that guy ramble for hours on end
ConjurationYes: Oh
ConjurationYes: Thanks
The_Only_Nord: get ready
ConjurationYes: Wait, don’t you have to talk to Enthir
The_Only_Nord: of course not, I got my amulet back weeks ago

<ConjurationYes> logged on
<The_Only_Nord> logged on
ConjurationYes: In my defense, I didn’t actually do anything
The_Only_Nord: in my defense, Arniel was going on and on about Dwemer artefacts again and someone had to bail Brelyna out of there
ConjurationYes: *artifacts
The_Only_Nord: what even is the difference?
ConjurationYes: Um… it’s something
Mira-Bell: An artifact is an object. An artefact is an artificial product or effect. You’re welcome
ConjurationYes: Thanks…?
Mira-Bell: And while Arniel’s complaints, if true, do not actually warrant any disciplinary action, may I offer some advice?
The_Only_Nord: sure
Mira-Bell: Brelyna, if you don’t know anything about what Arniel is talking about, please tell him that before he gets going
ConjurationYes: I’ll try
Mira-Bell: Onmund, while your intentions in helping your friend were noble, I would recommend avoiding Arniel for the next several weeks
The_Only_Nord: oh gods, he hates me that much
Mira-Bell: If it makes you feel any better, he’s still annoyed at me for something I did as an apprentice

Chapter 21: Take A Shot For Every Time A Guard Said "Wait, I Know You..."
Notes:
Are they all drunk? Quite possibly. Clearly some sort of drinking game was going on...
This chapter was partially inspired by the comments section, partially inspired by that one Game of War commercial (you all know the one, it's where I got the Dragonborn's username from), and partially inspired by this gem I found while browsing the Bryn x Dragonborn tag: Liquid Confidence. Needless to say, this chapter was extremely fun to write.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

mane_of_white: Alright. What’s the Dragonborn up to?
The_Huntress: killing dragons I guess
Private Conversation Between <mane_of_white> and <TheLegend27>
mane_of_white: So… what have you been up to lately?
TheLegend27: stuff
mane_of_white: What kind of stuff?
TheLegend27: killing dragons
mane_of_white: And a dragon had a shard of Wuuthrad?
TheLegend27: no some bandits did
mane_of_white: Really. These bandits didn’t happen to be the Silver Hand, did they?

<TheLegend27> logged on
TheLegend27: um no of course not
TheLegend27: sorry tripped
mane_of_white: Are you sure about that?
TheLegend27: yeah i definitely tripped scraped my knees too they kinda hurt a lot
mane_of_white: …
TheLegend27: ok maybe i was going to take down some bandits and then realized too late they were silver hand
mane_of_white: …
TheLegend27: ok maybe i didnt realize too late but they were still bandits
mane_of_white: …
TheLegend27: ok maybe i wanted to avenge skjor
mane_of_white: Skjor has long since been avenged. Attacking the Silver Hand at this point will only cause a vicious cycle of retaliation between us until both are destroyed
TheLegend27: fuck thats deep
mane_of_white: …
TheLegend27: sorry
mane_of_white: Listen. I understand that you, like Aela, take to the beast blood quite deeply.
TheLegend27: actually i just like being more powerful
TheLegend27: not quite a dragon but they tend to be a bit more intimidated by a werewolf than just me
mane_of_white: That’s fine. However, I seek a cure. So do Farkas and Vilkas.
TheLegend27: i mean ill help you out but this is legit only for you and farkas vilkas is a lil bitch
mane_of_white: Will you stop interrupting me.
TheLegend27: sorry what do you need me to do

And The Best Septim Is…
<TheLegend27> logged on
TheLegend27: whoa someone changed the chat name i didnt think it was allowed
mmmmmagic: It’s allowed when I do it. :)
TheLegend27: wait holy shit youre the arch mage
TheLegend27: hi
mmmmmagic: Hello.
TheLegend27: so whats going on
Mira-Bell: Discourse
TheLegend27: what
The_Only_Nord: OK LISTEN
Mira-Bell: You’ll figure it out
The_Only_Nord: TIBER SEPTIM WAS BEST SEPTIM AND I WILL FIGHT ANYONE AND EVERYONE ON THIS
myalembic: seconded
Mira-Bell: @mmmmmagic I still think this is a bad idea but anyway
mmmmmagic: Don’t worry, it’s a great idea
Mira-Bell: Are we really just ignoring the fact that Martin Septim quite literally sacrificed himself to stop the Oblivion Crisis here
ARCANO: The Thalmor stopped the Oblivion Crisis.
The_Only_Nord: right and the Thalmor are in Skyrim to ”””"keep the peace””””
Mira-Bell: Ancano, you don't seriously think anyone here believes that political propaganda, do you? This is a place of learning, and I will not allow the facts to be skewed
ARCANO: …
<ARCANO> logged off
Mira-Bell: Good riddance
myalembic: agreed
myalembic: and Edmund, my boy, it doesn’t matter what they think. Tiber Septim was and is the best Septim. stick to your beliefs.
TheLegend27: who the fuck is edmund
The_Only_Nord: wait do you mean me?
The_Only_Nord: it’s Onmund but thanks
<ConjurationYes> logged on
ConjurationYes: Hello! Why are we not talking about Katariah Septim
mmmmmagic: You’re completely right. Apologies, Mirabelle, but I’m afraid I must agree with this apprentice.
Mira-Bell: Traitor
The_Only_Nord: look, Katariah was pretty awesome, but Tiber Septim was better. besides, she married in
ConjurationYes: Which is what makes her the BEST. People looked down on her because she was a Dunmer, but she went on to be the best leader the Empire has ever seen
The_Only_Nord: okay but she’s still not the best
ConjurationYes: If you don’t believe me, answer this: what is Emperor Mede's ship called?
The_Only_Nord: how would I know?
TheLegend27: the katariah septim
ConjurationYes: Thanks
The_Only_Nord: how do you even know that???
TheLegend27: reasons
ConjurationYes:
Now do you see? Even the Empire agrees with me. So does the Arch-Mage himself
mmmmmagic: Yes.
The_Only_Nord: the ship’s only named that because the Empire renounced Tiber Septim
ConjurationYes: THE SHIP’S ONLY NAMED THAT BECAUSE KATARIAH SEPTIM IS THE BEST SEPTIM. END OF STORY
TheLegend27: hey you know what i think
TheLegend27: i think the dragonborn is the best septim
meow: but the dragonborn isnt a septim
TheLegend27: you never know she might be
myalembic: excuse me, Brenna, as much as I’d like to agree with you, did Katariah Septim become a god?
meow: who
ConjurationYes: It’s Brelyna and no
myalembic: my point exactly.
ConjurationYes: BUT the Empire renounced Tiber Septim’s godhood, and Katariah Septim is still the best Septim
Mira-Bell: But come on
Mira-Bell: You’re all forgetting the Oblivion Crisis
Mira-Bell: Martin Septim
Mira-Bell: He turned into a dragon, alright
<MAD_CHEESE> logged on
MAD_CHEESE: AHAHAHA HE SURE DID
TheLegend27: what the fuck
The_Only_Nord: who the fuck
Mira-Bell: Language
The_Only_Nord: whom the fuck
Mira-Bell: No
Mira-Bell: Why does everyone answer like that
The_Only_Nord: how would I know? :)
Mira-Bell: Now @MAD_CHEESE who are you and what are you doing in this chatroom?
MAD_CHEESE: OH I HEARD YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT MY OLD FRIEND MARTIN
MAD_CHEESE: OF COURSE FRIEND IS A BIT OF AN UNDERSTATEMENT
MAD_CHEESE: IT WAS MORE LIKE FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS ;)
Mira-Bell: Alright, that’s enough from you
<MAD_CHEESE> was removed from [And The Best Septim Is…]
<MAD_CHEESE> logged in
MAD_CHEESE: NICE TRY
MAD_CHEESE: ANYWAY IM JUST HERE TO SAY
MAD_CHEESE: MARTIN WAS OBVIOUSLY THE BEST SEPTIM
MAD_CHEESE: OF COURSE HE DID TURN INTO A DRAGON AND THATS HARDLY SPORTING BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO
<MAD_CHEESE> logged off
Questionable: what the fuck was that
Mira-Bell: I would say language, but I’ve given up at this point
Questionable: ur learning ;)
TheLegend27:
i have no idea what that was tbh
TheLegend27: clearly had no regard for chatroom etiquette tho
The_Only_Nord: wait… isn’t Sheogorath associated with cheese?
meow: THE SKOOMA CAT :D
TheLegend27: ok i need more sleep for this shit
Mira-Bell: It's probably a bad thing that Sheogorath agreed with me, if in fact that's Sheogorath

nighteyes: and for what its worth im sorry you had to get wrapped up in this
TheLegend27: yo its cool
TheLegend27: were going to get that translation get back to the guild and make that son of a bitch pay for murdering your
TheLegend27: uh
TheLegend27: boyfriend maybe
nighteyes: is it really that obvious
TheLegend27: well yes but also i asked around after you tried to get into the chat
TheLegend27: only adds to my motivation that mercer is a despicable waste of space not worth two septims
nighteyes: you wouldnt be wrong
nighteyes: i would have disagreed once
nighteyes: but that was before he murdered gallus and framed me for it
TheLegend27: you seem remarkably not broken up about that
nighteyes: ive had twenty-five years
nighteyes: and what makes you think im not broken up about it
TheLegend27: true
TheLegend27: ive only got your typing to go by
TheLegend27: anyway i can see winterhold up ahead
nighteyes: goodbye then
TheLegend27: quick question first
TheLegend27: are you sure i cant go into the thieves guild chat and expose mercer for the sleazy douchebag he is
nighteyes: youre welcome to try but i suspect it would not end well and would only result in mercer being made aware of your survival
nighteyes: we need to catch him unawares
TheLegend27: right

the.astrid: no
wolfy: I’ll go
the.astrid: definitely not
wolfy: Aww
the.astrid: you’d better be there, or you can consider yourself unwelcome in my Sanctuary from now on, “Listener”
TheLegend27: what why
the.astrid: because we have been planning this for weeks, because nobody else can get to Solitude in time, because this is our big chance… do I need to continue?
TheLegend27: are you absolutely sure i cant take a sick day
the.astrid: this is the Dark Brotherhood dammit, we don’t take sick days
TheLegend27: aight aight fine
TheLegend27: if one of my prior commitments kills me im blaming you
the.astrid: we’ve been planning this for weeks, you should not have made any prior commitments
TheLegend27: fine ill be there
TheLegend27: considering that the actual gourmet was an orc i dont think theyd bat an eye if one of you guys went though

TheLegend27: that and the spectral assassin kept going on about how sithis didnt want me to kill him so i was eventually like fine
BABS: ...spectral assassin?
TheLegend27: holy shit you guys dont know about him
TheLegend27: after the wedding contract astrid gave me this cool spell to summon the ghost of some dark brotherhood legend or something idk
TheLegend27: if we survive this ill introduce you guys to him i definitely wouldnt have made it out of solitude alive without his help
TheLegend27: of course thats assuming we actually survive this

Sands_of_the_Alik’r: Should I be worried about the fact that the coffin is airtight, and therefore our Listener is not going to be able to breathe?
BABS: nah
BABS: well maybe

TheLegend27: actually yes but um
nighteyes: i told you it was a better idea to meet them in person

Do yourself a favor and pretend the video is an audio clip. Just keep it running on another tab or something... or if you're reading on mobile, listen to it and then go back to reading.

Sands_of_the_Alik’r: Okay that’s not a curse in the sense you’re thinking of and also you’re dead.
death_comes: Indeed I am, and as a matter of fact I can confirm that Sithis does not, in fact, have hairy nipples.
death_comes: They’re actually quite smooth.
Sands_of_the_Alik’r: I did not need to know that.
BABS: ...I’m gonna go do the contract in Morrowind now

death_comes: No, you don't.
BABS: you definitely don't we heard what happened even in Skyrim

Sands_of_the_Alik'r: Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't hear about what happened in Cheydinhal.

Chapter 37: Nightingales of Nocturnal
Notes:
Guys, I think we've finally descended into crack... if we hadn't already. You'll see why. (But seriously, if it wasn't crack already it is now. It definitely is now.) Also, this kind of feels like the last Thieves Guild chapter... you'll see what I've got planned once I've finished up all the faction questlines. :) You shall see. And it shall be glorious... hopefully.

Chapter 38: Embrace the Void
Notes:
Yes, I know, you're all going to freak out and be like "WHERE'S THE COMPANIONS CHAPTER???" Just chill, and listen up. I feel like the Companions storyline is pretty much done. The Thieves Guild one... possibly. I might do another chapter where TheLegend27 becomes the Guildmaster. I might not. The Dark Brotherhood questline's pretty much done, so this'll be the last exclusively Dark Brotherhood chapter. I'll finish up the College questline, and then...
Then, we'll get to all the special requests. I need to actually finish playing through the Dawnguard questline, and it's probably about time our Dragonborn actually got her butt up to High Hrothgar... because she hasn't. She heard the call, was like "ok cool" and proceeded to do everything but get her butt to High Hrothgar. She's killed a bunch of dragons, learned a bunch of Shouts through random dungeon-delving, but has she actually gotten to High Hrothgar? Nah.
Needless to say, things are about to get very interesting very soon...
(In other news: TES VI IS GOING TO BE A THING AND I AM HYPED!
Watch it be Skyrim 2: Electric Boogaloo.But in all seriousness, I'm hoping for Elsweyr. I want a game where a biological family can be a housecat, an anthropomorphic cat or two, a couple of furries, and a literal flippin tiger.)

FutureVision: I’ll do it, I miss everyone.
death_comes: Wait, hang on.
death_comes: That’s a thing you can do? You can be a spectral assassin while the people you knew in life are still alive?
FutureVision: as far as I know, ye
death_comes: Well, I missed a golden opportunity to rant at the surviving members of my Sanctuary for thinking I was the traitor for some odd reason…
death_comes: Damn it.
FutureVision: I mean, I might be wrong?
death_comes: @DreadFather Can Gabriella take my place for a bit? The current Listener is… honestly rather annoying.
death_comes: @DreadFather Are you there?
DreadFather: I am always here.
death_comes: ...oh.
DreadFather: I see no reason why not, although Lucien, I must warn you that if you remain in the Void for any period of time, you may have a visitor.
death_comes: What.
DreadFather: An… old friend of yours, I believe.
death_comes: I have literally no idea what you’re talking about.
DreadFather: Oh, you will.
DreadFather: ;)
death_comes: ...I’m so confused right now. All my friends are dead, this has been established. Most of them are here.
DreadFather: Depends on your definition of death… but you shall see. Do remind our mutual friend that the Void is still waiting for her. :)
death_comes: Sure. Alright. I still don’t know who you mean…
DreadFather: You will. In any case, Gabriella.
FutureVision: ye?
DreadFather: Do you wish to temporarily take Lucien’s place as the Spectral Assassin of the Dawnstar Sanctuary?
FutureVision: ye sure
DreadFather: It is done. Let me or Lucien know when you’re ready to switch back.
FutureVision: got it!
FutureVision: wait hold on what is this

Chapter 40: College Main Chat
Notes:
This chapter was also inspired by the comments section, as well as my own personal desires for Ancano to have a much, much more painful death. No hard feelings, but he murdered both halves of one of my favorite ships
that also is one heck of a rarepair but shhh, he's gonna die. Slowly. And painfully. No hard feelings, indeed.

TheLegend27: fuck that bad
myalembic: the Arch-Mage and Mirabelle are dead, so I’d say so.
TheLegend27: nooooo i liked mirabelle
myalembic: did you at least get the Staff of Magnus? because if not, Dibella won’t be able to compare to the amount of fucked we’ll be.
TheLegend27: holy shit you cursed
myalembic: in case you haven’t noticed we’re having a bit of a disaster here.
myalembic: did you get it or didn’t you?

myalembic: he certainly can’t mess things up any more. go ahead.
TheLegend27: great ill get him to meet us by the bridge in a few min
myalembic: he’s… that close by?
TheLegend27: that and hes really fast when assassination is involved he probably gets a hard on from it

Chapter Text
TALOS YO!
stone-fist: Can we all agree that my brother is a prick
Fearless: yeee
FUSRODIE: I mean, he’s a prick but he pays his taxes…
stone-fist: He’s still a prick.
Fearless: ok but what I want to know is
Fearless: why am I still the only one on besides you two
FUSRODIE: I don’t know, I gave everyone instructions on how to log in…
<StormCrown> logged on
FUSRODIE: FINALLY! Welcome, Stormcloak! Good to see a new face around here! What’s your name, son?
StormCrown: ummmm
StormCrown: Hjalti
stone-fist: Bit of a Talos fan, aye? Don’t worry, we’re all dirty Talos worshippers here.
StormCrown: you could say that, yeah
StormCrown: speaking of Talos, though…
Fearless: what about him
StormCrown: wouldn’t he be pissed off at the way the Dunmer are treated here? I mean, there are stories about an aspect of him meeting their Nerevarine on his way to fight Dagoth Ur, and I mean…
stone-fist: I never heard those stories…
Fearless: yeah me either
FUSRODIE: Look, Hjalti. We’re here to discuss battle tactics, not economic issues. I’ll gladly deal with that once the war’s over. In the meantime, Talos would want us to fight the Aldmeri Dominion. If you want to do something on your own, feel free.
stone-fist: Aye, please beat up my brother. He has it coming.
stone-fist: And wait, talking about your lack of a love life since the Great War is battle tactics?
FUSRODIE: GALMAR.
StormCrown:
you’re right, Talos would want you to fight the Aldmeri Dominion, but he wouldn’t want you to do it at the cost of your own people. all of your own people. Dunmer, Nord, Argonian... everyone
StormCrown: that, Ulfric, is why your war is doomed to fail if you don’t begin changing things right now
StormCrown: and while I’d rather you not fail, the Thalmor are doomed to collapse eventually. I can wait. it’s up to you whether you’re around for their destruction or not.
FUSRODIE: EXCUSE YOU JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE???
FUSRODIE: THAT’S JARL ULFRIC TO YOU!
StormCrown: maybe you should get your head out of your arse and start acting like one, then
stone-fist: I like this kid.
<StormCrown> was removed from [TALOS YO!]
stone-fist: Awww…
Fearless: …
stone-fist: Well I think we know why nobody else is joining the chat now…
FUSRODIE: Galmar.
stone-fist: Ulfric.
FUSRODIE: You’re lucky I couldn’t do this without you.
stone-fist: You’re lucky I haven’t brought up Rikke yet. :)
FUSRODIE: OKAY THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR.
<StormCrown> logged on
stone-fist: Lol what the fuck?
StormCrown: removing me from the chat certainly was. I am trying to help you, Ulfric. don’t blow this for yourself

Fearless: HOLY SHIT
FUSRODIE: WHAT IS IT NOW???
Fearless: DO NEITHER OF YOU KNOW WHO HJALTI EARLY-BEARD WAS???
FUSRODIE: WHO THE FUCK WAS HJALTI EARLY-BEARD???
stone-fist: ULFRIC ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
stone-fist: HJALTI EARLY-BEARD WAS TALOS YOU DAFT BUGGER
FUSRODIE: WAIT WHAT
FUSRODIE:
WHAT THE FUCK I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST A LEGEND
stone-fist: THE DRAGONBORN WAS JUST A LEGEND A FEW MONTHS AGO
Private Conversation between <StormCrown> and <SKYnareth>
StormCrown: I still can’t believe you made your username a pun
SKYnareth: i did this ages ago bitch and im still not sure what i was thinking tbh
SKYnareth: like if i was gonna do anything i should have done skyne
StormCrown: that’s worse
SKYnareth: ya true
SKYnareth: so howd the talk with your champions go
StormCrown: well I’m hoping I freaked out Stormcloak enough to get him to be at least a little more concerned about how everyone not a Nord is treated in Windhelm :/
SKYnareth: u r in no position to talk bitch u were the same way
StormCrown: ...okay listen everyone makes mistakes and I grew from them
SKYnareth: >:)
StormCrown: if I’d known that Kyne was like this I would never have wanted to become a god tbh
SKYnareth: too late now u r stuck with us
SKYnareth: forever
StormCrown: way to be creepy, but you’re not wrong.
StormCrown: anyway, I’m gonna go back and see what happens
SKYnareth: lol aight
TALOS YO!
<StormCrown> logged on
stone-fist:
So Ulfric’s still having an existential crisis right now but otherwise alright.
stone-fist: Wait fuck you’re not Ralof.
StormCrown: no, I believe he’s also having an existential crisis, although a lesser one
stone-fist: Oh. Okay.
stone-fist: I just… are you actually, you know…?
StormCrown: Talos?
stone-fist: Aye.
StormCrown: the short answer is yes
stone-fist: ...I’ll see what I can do to get Ulfric to be less of a general and more of a Jarl, I’m the one person he can’t replace.
StormCrown: too right
StormCrown: but I do believe the Stormcloaks can win, and drive out the Thalmor. nothing against the Empire, but… well, it’s kind of been dying since my line ended
stone-fist: You know, for a god you’re really reasonable.
StormCrown: it gets better with age
Notes:

Fearless = Ralof
FUSRODIE = Ulfric Stormcloak

honor: why wouldn’t you be able to, this is a public chatroom for the entire Legion, you're supposed to be asking questions
Just-a-Nord: Right.
Just-a-Nord: So… I heard from a friend of a friend that his cousin is a Stormcloak.
GENERAL: traitor
Just-a-Nord: I’m… not done yet.
GENERAL: continue please im curious
Just-a-Nord: Got it.
Just-a-Nord: In any case this Stormcloak cousin apparently swears up and down that, uh…
honor: what is it, soldier?
Just-a-Nord: I’m not sure this is a good idea…
honor: oh no

titties: so i tried
LoveYourself: Any luck?
titties: luck had nothing to do with it
titties: my tits mara that romance is completely frigid by now
LoveYourself: But they’re both so ALONE!
titties: theyre also on opposite sides of a war
titties: and mara dear this particular war will most certainly end with one or both of them dead
LoveYourself: :’(
titties: mara you are not doing this to me
titties: if you want to fan the flames of a love that hasnt been there in decades be my guest
titties: youd be much better off picking one side of the war or the other
titties: or you could just stay out of it entirely thats the smart thing to do
LoveYourself: It’s still SAD!
titties: mara i know trust me
titties: if it makes you feel any better theyre both nords and theyll most likely meet again in sovngarde eventually and possibly fall in love again there assuming the dragonborn actually does her fucking job
LoveYourself: !!!
titties: mara did that not occur to you
LoveYourself: Um.
titties: things like this are why we need two goddesses of love
titties: one like you to be altogether too sappy and oblivious
LoveYourself: This is true.
titties: and one like me to handle the other side of things
titties: we balance each other out
titties: but anyway
titties: trying to set up ulfric and rikke is a terrible idea mara
LoveYourself: :’(
titties: at least wait until theyre both dead and cant fuck up the world any more
titties: in the meantime you should try making the dragonborn fall in love with someone
LoveYourself: But then it wouldn’t be genuine!
titties: my fucking tits mara
titties: if you pay attention its quite clear who has feelings for her and unless shes a really good actress she reciprocates them
LoveYourself: So you’re saying…
titties: go for it mara
titties: make love happen its what youre best at
LoveYourself: :D
LoveYourself: Be right back!
<LoveYourself> logged off
titties: yep seeya in a month or so

Chapter 43: Nightingales of Nocturnal
Notes:
Remember how I said that last Thieves Guild chapter was going to be the last Thieves Guild chapter? I lied. I may have poured some of my own frustration at a certain line of Brynjolf's into this chapter, as well... not to mention things escalated very quickly. Also, whoops. My hand slipped and I might have put some actual plot into this. I might actually need to give TheLegend27 a legit name at some point... any ideas? :) I'm open to suggestions.

nighteyes: lets just say she was badly wounded enough that mercer thought she was dead and leave it at that
dontvexme: yet another reason why mercer fkn needed to die
nighteyes: well lets just say someone might have posthumously stabbed him like thirty seven times in the chest and leave it at that
nighteyes: not naming names
redhead: Karliah
redhead: that was you and we all know it
nighteyes: he murdered gallus and framed me for it
nighteyes: my only regret is that i didnt get to kill him myself
dontvexme: hey good on u girl

Greybeard: ...that’s a no.
shavingisforposers: yeee
BEARDBOY: we’ve been checking
BEARDBOY: not that we have to, the dragonborn’s the only one who would actually come in without thinking we were going to shout them to pieces :)
Greybeard: I hate to admit it, but you’re absolutely right.
Greybeard: Remind me why we haven’t corrected those rumors yet?
BeardOfGrey: bc we dont talk to people
BeardOfGrey: ever
shavingisforposers: well except for Arngeir
BeardOfGrey: tru
Greybeard: In all honesty, I’m… concerned.
Greybeard: She hasn’t been back since she learned the final word of Unrelenting Force.
Greybeard: I fear… she may be straying from the path of wisdom.
shavingisforposers: Arngeir she’s a baby compared to us let her live her life
Greybeard: There’s living her life, and then there’s associating with the Blades.
BeardOfGrey: they still exist
BEARDBOY: idk
BEARDBOY: we should ask the dragonborn

<The_Librarian> logged on
The_Librarian: If I had one, I wouldn’t let you near it.
TheLegend27: but im the arch-mage
The_Librarian: Because everyone remotely qualified for the job either didn’t want it, like me, or died, like Mirabelle.
TheLegend27: look if she showed up alive id gladly give her the job after giving her a hug i miss her :(
TheLegend27: but anyway
TheLegend27: i desperately need to find an elder scroll im the dragonborn and i need to read it at the throat of the world to go back in time and learn a shout to defeat alduin
The_Librarian: Most of that made no sense to me, but that’s more explanation than I’ve gotten from you in the past on anything.
The_Librarian: Fine.
The_Librarian: If you come down to my Arcaneum, I’ll let you read what I have on Elder Scrolls, although I don’t have one myself.
TheLegend27: of course not its never easy

BABS: that’s literally ALL you’ve been talking about lately
x_WIZARD_x: Babette, my girl, you’ll understand when you get your first contract for someone in a Dwemer ruin.
BABS: what makes you think I’ve never had one in there?
x_WIZARD_x: Because you don’t know how, pardon my Daedric, exceptionally shitty Dwemer ruins are. If the machinery doesn’t kill you, the Falmer will.

Chapter 48: Nightingales of Nocturnal
Notes:
Next chapter is Season Unending, and it's going to be great. Mainly because it's over chat instead of in person, which is our first and (probably) only bit of canon divergence. I wanted to give it its own chapter
and I'm not writing a different chapter because it's 1 AM and my nieces are getting here soon and I want to sleep nope what do you mean.So, next chapter: Season Unending over chat, ft. Nightingale Tech Tricks.
Also, let's be honest: TheLegend27 would throw the leadership of two opposing sides of a war into a chatroom together for shits and giggles.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

The_Greater: Is this really necessary?
TheLegend27: yes
GENERAL: so let me get this straight rikke and i are in a chatroom with who exactly
honor: the leadership of the stormcloaks for one thing
FUSRODIE: ...Rikke.
honor: ulfric.
stone-fist: By the Nine, I can feel the sexual tension from here.
FUSRODIE: GALMAR FOR THE LOVE OF TALOS

NobodyImportant: See my username. It’s there for a reason.
dragondance: she’s Delphine, I’m Esbern, we’re Blades!
NobodyImportant: ...Esbern, why.
The_Greater: Well, I’m Balgruuf, and it’s an honor to meet you both.
GENERAL: well the blades are supposed to be disbanded
GENERAL: but we dont have any thalmor agents here and i dont feel like inviting any so i dont really give a shit

FUSRODIE: @TheLegend27 LET’S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH DAMMIT I HAVE A WAR TO WIN
stone-fist: And what am I, chopped liver?
GENERAL: lets be honest the only reason your little rebellion hasnt fizzled out already is because that dragon attacked when it did
TheLegend27: that dragon was alduin the motherfucking world eater and i hate to break it to you general but i would also be dead if he hadnt attacked when he did
TheLegend27: ironically enough
GENERAL: the captain in charge at helgen was convinced you were a stormcloak spy had she survived she would have been courtmartialed
TheLegend27: tell that to the guy who tried to run and was shot in the back for also being a stormcloak spy apparently
TheLegend27: which he wasnt
FUSRODIE: that man was a thief and a disgrace to all Nords.
TheLegend27: fuck you some of my best friends are thieves and i know quite a few people who would consider you a disgrace to all nords
TheLegend27: and anyway
TheLegend27: i dont care how it happens but i need a truce until i can defeat alduin
TheLegend27: unless of course you want him to eat us all :)
honor: look, I don’t like this anymore than you do and I would have much rather done this in person, but she’s right. it won’t matter who wins if alduin eats us all in the end.
GENERAL: very well
GENERAL: im willing to order all troops to stand down until the dragon crisis is resolved
FUSRODIE: I want Markarth
The_Greater: ...seriously?
stone-fist: Ulfric, if we actually do negotiating we’re going to be here all night, and I don’t know about you but I need my beauty sleep.
GENERAL: no way
honor: actually, how about markarth for riften? a large city for a large city. or, you know, we could not trade away holds without consulting their jarls first.
GENERAL: rikke
honor: I’ll explain later.
FUSRODIE: fine. you can have riften, we’ll have it back within the week of the truce’s end anyway.
TheLegend27: ummm guys i live in riften
TheLegend27: could we all just please just agree to stand down and not attack whiterun until im finished saving all your asses thanks
GENERAL: ive been trying to say this the entire time
FUSRODIE: no.
TheLegend27: look im still undecided about what side to support and jarl ulfric with all due respect youre not making a good case for the stormcloaks
FUSRODIE: you know what? fine. we’ll stand down until we receive word of Alduin’s defeat, but no longer. we’ll be ready.
GENERAL: oh believe me so will we
GENERAL: i look forward to lopping off your head in person

dragondance: yes! we’ve found the name of the dragon believed to be Alduin’s second-in-command, and you’ll just need to Shout it to summon him.
dragondance: his name is Odahviing. that’s pronounced, I believe, like Oh-dah-ving.
TheLegend27: great thanks esbern knew i could count on you
dragondance: :)
<dragondance> logged off
TheLegend27: that went surprisingly well

NobodyImportant: Kill Paarthurnax.
TheLegend27: what
TheLegend27: youre kidding right
NobodyImportant: No, I am not. He is a dragon, and he is a dragon that has served Alduin in the past. He needs to be put down.
Greybeard: Truly a pity that the Thalmor didn’t finish their job, and that you weren’t among the Blades that were purged.
NobodyImportant: Have you been here the whole time?
Greybeard: Yes, actually.
Greybeard: Now, Dragonborn. You’re not going to listen to her, are you?
TheLegend27: of course the fuck not paarthurnax is my friend i dont murder my friends

TheLegend27: yeah weve got a group chat with his ghost
TheLegend27: i promise it makes sense in context
dragondance: ...okay.
dragondance: but yes, the chatroom name was my idea! seeing as Delphine decided to drop her ultimatum on you before we could get any actual recruits…
TheLegend27: esbern youd make a way better leader than her you should lead a revolution
dragondance: it’s not a revolution if there’s two people… and in all honesty, her heart’s in the right place. she just… really despises the Greybeards a bit much.
TheLegend27: wait you dont
dragondance: they’re a bit too pacifistic for my liking, but they are wise and I think there might be a reason they’re still around and the Blades… aren’t really

Chapter 51: Fin
Summary:
This is not a chapter, and it'll make sense when you actually read this.
Chapter Text
So, I'm sure you're all wondering, why in Oblivion am I stopping writing this?
Well, it's simple. As I haven't played very far in Dawnguard, and haven't even touched Dragonborn yet, I don't feel like I could do the DLCs justice at this time. So, for the time being, this story is going on hiatus, until I've finished playing through both sides of Dawnguard. Which... might be a while. But I'm definitely not done with the Chatrooms universe, or the Dragonborn from it. Oh no. Both the Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLCs are coming, although they'll probably be in different fics so I can leave this one as completed. Once I start either story, I'll update this one again so you can find it more easily. :)
In the meantime, if you liked this, why not write your own Skyrim chatfic? If you do, you should definitely put it down as inspired by this one so I can find it and enjoy it and possibly get more ideas for the eventual continuation of this one, and so everyone who enjoyed this fic can find it and enjoy yours!
Of course, if you liked this, why not read more of my writing? At the moment, I'm currently working on three other fics, all in the Skyrim fandom, although if you're interested in my work for other fandoms feel free to check out my profile.
From the Journal of Lora Jorius follows the Thieves Guild questline as well as the main quest, and features an Altmer Dragonborn who likes fire a little too much, has a slight fear of the dark (at least to begin with), and really, really hates the Thalmor. The story does eventually go on past the main quest into an arc that involves the titular character finally fighting back against the Thalmor, and she's got the Thieves Guild at her back by then, so what could possibly go wrong? Lots of things. I try to update this story daily.
Tail of the Dragonborn follows the main quest and the Companions questline and a very, very socially awkward Khajiit Dragonborn going through them. He also becomes a werewolf at some point, and I'm still not sure how that works. This story typically updates on Sundays.
Ziist Grozein is probably the story I've been putting the most work into. Like, if you read nothing else by me, read this. It's a story where Alduin's about to return, and the Dragonborn's coming is imminent.. except he's already dead, because his name was Gallus Desidenius and he was murdered. So, Akatosh pulls a few strings. If you ship Gallus and Karliah as much as I do, or if you like reading stories where the main character has amnesia, or if you're just curious, this fic's for you. Currently, it updates on Saturdays, although I'm hoping to finish writing the rough draft before summer's end. If I can do that, updates will definitely increase to at least somewhat more often.
That's probably enough self-promotion on my part, but in any case, I won't be able to play Skyrim again until... I think Wednesday. And even then, I'm about midway through the Dawnguard questline and I haven't even started the Volkihar side of things. So it might be a while.
In the meantime, if you need to read about Skyrim characters chatting each other up in chatrooms, feel free to write it yourself! In fact, please do, I want to read it and the Skyrim fandom seems to be the one fandom without an abundance of chatfics. Let's fix that.
Until then, I wish you all the best. :)
~SoulStealer1987
(And yes, that Daedric Princes chat will be happening in either the Dawnguard story or the Dragonborn story. Probably Dragonborn, to be honest, because I kind of want to have Hermaeus Mora complaining about Miraak. If you need it now, though.. chatfics, as it happens, aren't that hard to write. All you need is to have a distinct typing style for each character and stick to it... that, and a pretty good grasp on the characters' personalities. Which, admittedly, is a lot harder than it sounds.)
(Seeya!)
