previously: mari and chloé had a sleepover, mari agreed to train her replacement(s) for her parents, and nath almost finished the commission for chloé. this is it! with this, mdr has come to a close. the aim had always been to view the group chat from mari's pov as she becomes better friends with everyone, opens up, and makes a better life for herself. thank you for reading this.

private chat: marinara and Thani

Thani:
I might have a dilemma.

marinara:
and you're
coming to me about this?

Thani:
You're making me regret my decision already.

marinara:
no no
this is the greatest day of my life
tell me more

Thani:
Well.
You're friends with Chloé, right?

marinara:
what do you mean right
why are you talking like that
she's also your friend

Thani:
Sorry, I got nervous.
So.

marinara:
what did she do

Thani:
Well.

marinara:
I'm waiting

Thani:
And I'm deleting my message before sending it.

marinara:
come on, pussy
tell me all about it

Thani:
That's not how you comfort someone?
Who would ever tell you their problems?

marinara:
you

Thani:
Good point.

marinara:
wanna sit on my knee?
will that help the atmosphere

Thani:
It's April, Santa.

marinara:
premature
gotta get my practise in

Thani:
Can I stroke your beard?

marinara:
babe, you can do anything you want on my knee

Thani:
Thank you for your permission.

marinara:
you're welcome

Thani:
So.
Chloé tipped me.

marinara:
why is this a dilemma
get that cash

Thani:
A hundred.

marinara:

get that cash

Thani:
And when I told her it was too extreme, she sent another.

marinara:
you didn't complain again
did you

Thani:

marinara:
okay
so she gave you
three hundred?

Thani:
Yes.

marinara:
what's the problem
she loves spending money

Thani:
It's a bit much to be a tip, don't you think?
And I offered to do more commissions for her, but she said no.

marinara:
don't offend her
accept it

Thani:
Don't offend her?

marinara:
ye
think of it like a gift
I mean, that's what a tip is anyway
be grateful

Thani:
This advice isn't why I'm telling you.

marinara:
I'm not your accountant

Thani:
You're bad with money.

marinara:
?
since when

Thani:
You bought five pairs of shoes online that don't even fit you.

marinara:
how's that my fault

Thani:
You didn't try them on.

marinara:
let me put my foot against the screen then
?

Thani:
That's just one example of your spending.

marinara:
okay
who made you my accountant

Thani:
Me.

marinara:
give me advice
what am I doing wrong

Thani:
Buying things online for looks over practicality.

marinara:
let's get back to your problems
instead of calling me out

Thani:
For now.

marinara:
yeah, yeah
you can call me an idiot later
it's your time to shine

Thani:
If I bought Chloé something, would you give it to her?

marinara:
am I a pigeon

Thani:
I don't know when I can come visit.

marinara:
ye sure
get it shipped to my address or whatever

Thani:
You're saying yes that quickly?

marinara:
what
did you expect me to say no

Thani:
I hoped not.

marinara:
what is it
do I get to know
what if I open it and ruin the packaging?

Thani:
I don't know yet.
What would you even get someone that has everything?

marinara:
cake

Thani:
That was quick.

marinara:
what
I know her
and what she buys
if you send me the money I can just buy it?

Thani:
That would be great.

marinara:
or have her milkshakes paid for
whenever she comes in

Thani:
...I'm not setting up a milkshake fund.

marinara:
why not
that's an amazing idea?
my parents wouldn't even say no

Thani:
Isn't that... weird?

marinara:
I mean
she did the weird thing by tipping you extra
whenever you complained

Thani:
You're not even working there any more.

marinara:
that doesn't mean I'm not welcome
what the fuck
I'm not being banished because I hung up my apron

Thani:
Did you actually hang it up?

marinara:
it's in my washing machine

Thani:
...Still?

marinara:
I haven't washed it yet
shut up
I have a routine

Thani:
I'm sure you do.

marinara:
and now so do you
a milkshake fund

Thani:
How are you going to make that happen?
From what you've said, your parents work in the kitchen.

marinara:
easy
you know those mugshots you see on tv
I'll put her face behind the counter
they'll never get her confused with anyone else

Thani:
Ah, making her a wanted criminal.

marinara:
wanted for milkshake crimes

Thani:
I'm sure that'll work.

marinara:
you gave me a glow up
so I want to ruin your skin from the sugar

adrikins:
when do I earn free milkshakes

marinara:
when you help me pick out a new wardrobe

Alyarr:

or he'll think you mean the actual wardrobe

adrikins:
shut up!
