The Counselor - A Group Chat Story

(Semi-Excerpt from Novel) Jacob wearily reached for his phone as he felt it go off in his pocket. After another day of job searching he was hoping for some good news as he glanced at the screen… ‘New Invitation to Group chat.’ “Huh, must be some of the guys.” Giving a quick shrug and settling into his car he let a small breath of air out, resting his tired legs. [New Group chat, ‘Multiverse Counselling group’, entered , name set to, ‘The Counselor’, by ‘Admin’.] “What???.... ohh shit. Was this the job I applied to when I was drunk?” He wanted to face palm in that moment, after so long, he might have finally caught a break and he couldn’t actually do his job! There was a slump in his shoulders as he clicked into the group, expecting to see some information about the job he had applied for, but instead it was empty. His eyebrow quirked for a second at the descrepency before finally letting out a small chuckle as he figured it out. His friends were messing with him….A sigh left his lips as he lowered the phone, he knew he shouldn’t have gotten his hopes up. Rolling his eyes he reached forwards, he may as well roast some of the guys before he heads home and has his nice hot shower. There were 4 new messages in the chat. [Darth Vader has Joined the group.] [Ruin Princess has Joined the Group.] [Phoenix has joined the group.] [Dark Knight has joined the group.] Ok now he knew it was a bloody joke. He could only shake his head as he started typing. -10 minutes later- I get paid for giving out some stupid ‘life counselling’? My Arse, I’ll give your ‘characters’ some life counselling! The Counselor: (Fine I’ll start with the easy one, Yo Anakin, Palpatine is a Sith lord, he’s been playing you for years and guess what turns you to the dark side, oooooh soo scary. Lock him the fuck up or kill him who cares, leave the Jedi, get your wife pregnant and go be an actual dad you prick and have a nice life.) Darth Vader: (I don’t know what game your playing, but you should know Jedi don’t have relationships.) The Counselor: (Rias, pull your finger out of your ass and start training, the fact that some pervert with a sacred gear is what saves you in the end from your arranged marriage is honestly embarrassing, seeing as you’re the little sister of the bloody devil in charge. Get your shit together woman.) Ruin Princess: (What?!?!?!?!) The Counselor: (Jean, I mean I can’t fault your problems, you’ve basically got a split personality because the bold bastard screwed around with your head, not to mention your husband having a Psychic affair later in life. Get your mind sorted out then come and talk to me.) Pheonix: (What is a Psychic affair? And who was my husband…) The Counselor: (Bruce, honestly not much wrong with you, well other than you beat the shit out of people in a giant bat suit, but honestly a lot of good work, if you don’t include all your protégés either dying or leaving you and how most of your contingencies usually come around to bite you in the arse. Ehh I guess stop being so paranoid and shit might work out, You’re welcome.” The Dark Knight: (…) The Counselor: (There you all got some ‘life counselling, now fuck off you’ve had your fun I’ll talk to you guys later!) -12 hours later- Jacob Stared at his bank account gobsmacked. “Holy shit I got paid!!!!” **************** Ok fellas new novel, I have writers block on my other ones, so not much has changed. Writing this for fun, DO NOT expect updates, I just want to relax and have some fun with this. Please give me suggestions in comments for people to add to the chat group, I will consider ever person listed. Because I know some are wondering, SINGLE PAIRING, NO HAREM. (Let’s be honest guys any chat group novel is generally ruined by a Harem, it’s just a fact, at some point it just devolves into adding girl to chat group will end up with MC, honestly a turn off at this point.)

Application Successful - Part 2

There was a small loading screen as the app loaded up before finally opening. Resting back in his chair, Jacob started the engine so the air conditioning could do it's job. As he looked through his new app.

At the top left of the screen was a [User ID] and [Photo] both blank at the time, while underneath were 4 headings.

The First heading was [Chat].

The Second heading was [1 on 1 Appointments]

The Third heading was [Pay]

And The final heading was [Log In]

As the user ID and 3 of the headings were all shaded out Jacob's eyes instantly gravitated to the [Log In] heading at the bottom, the only one lit up. Pressing on it the screen changed with some new text and an input box.

[Please enter phone number.]

[Back] [Confirm]

These words alone set warning bells ringing in Jacobs head as he instantly became suspicious, the first rule when you think you're being scammed, don't give away personal details, no matter what. With his guard up Jacob almost closed the app right away to delete it.

But he stopped to think for a second, with the VPN still up and the fact he already got a message from the Reinbeck group, the most likely already had his phone number, now that he thought about it he did remember having to input his mobile number when he was applying for this job.

Letting out a small sigh of defeat knowing it would already be too late if these guys were scammers he slowly put in the number and pressed confirm.

Nothing happened for a second as a loading bar appeared.

[Confirming]

Waiting for it to slowly tick up, when it finally finished his phone let out a small beep and went back to the main screen.

[Application Accepted]

Jacob furrowed his brows as he took in the changed screen. Well everything was the actually the same except all the headings were now lit up, that and his User ID had Changed.

Now it read.

[The Counselor]

Jacob stared at the words for a few seconds as his mind drifted back to the night he had drunkenly applied for the job. Slowly his head started to lower into the steering wheel as he let out a groan.

'I'm a fucking idiot. Please for the love of god, please don't tell me I applied for a counselor position. I don't have a psychologist degree… who the fuck gets psychology degrees!'

'Please tell me this is a bad dream, please tell me I'm not about to lose this job because I bloody applied for the wrong position!!!'

Panicking on the inside, Jacob quickly tried to click on his new User Id, but got nothing back other than a single message that quickly disappeared.

[User ID name set by Admin.]

Wanting to slam his head into the steering wheel again he quickly switched over and clicked on the chat function, surely he could sort everything out with the admin in chat. Believing that the [Consol] APP was some internal company software and it's chat function a company-wide message board or chat function, Jacob quickly looked for who he could talk to.

Hoping it was not too late to clarify that he was looking for a management position and hoping that they had one, even though he could try and pretend to be a counselor he wasn't that type of person.

But he stopped dead in his tracks when he got to the new screen, a suspicious gleam in his eyes. There was only one other person in the chat group, the [Admin], that was the first red flag. His eyes flickered to the group chat name, [Multiverse Counseling group chat], that was the second red flag. Finally there were no offline members to the group when he checked, meaning they weren't just 'offline', that was the third red flag.

Three Strikes and you're out. His whole body deflated in his chair as he slumped back.

'I can't believe I fell for this shit. Probably one of the guys fucking with me, I didn't think they would go this far though.'

*Ding*

As that thought crossed his mind his the phone once more made a sound as it lit up, opening the group back up again Jacob looked on with dispassionate eyes as the text in the chat changed.

'Ok now they are fucking with me'
