[Bobby renamed chat to 118 Tick Tock]
Bobby: Okay team, Ravi has asked if he can set up a station 'Tick Tock' account to boost morale and our presence in the community. I have run it by the chief and he thinks it will be a good idea. Please use this chat to plan out videos and remember to keep it all work appropriate. - Bobby Nash
Ravi: thank you cap
[Ravi renamed chat to 118 tiktoks]
Ravi: okay so I've got some ideas already but feel free to make any suggestions
for the first one I will be requiring everyone's participation - no excuses

Trauma Candy Salad
Buck: sounds perfect for Eddie
Eddie: ?
Ravi: of course that's where your mind goes
Eddie: I don't understand what this has to do with me.
Buck: you have trauma and you like candy
it's got Eddie Diaz written all over it
Eddie: Thanks?
Hen: What exactly does "Trauma Candy Salad" entail
Ravi: basically we get a big bowl and we all take it in turns to pour in a candy and share a trauma we have experienced
Hen: With tiktok?
Ravi: with the world hen
via tiktok
Hen: Is this not a little heavy for the first video
Ravi: it's perfect, between us we have enough trauma to send therapist frank's great grandkids to college
it'll be captivating
Buck: i for one think its a great idea
Hen: Of course YOU do
Ravi: it'll be fun, we'll practice what everyone's going to say in here and then I will do a candy run and we'll film it in the loft between calls when we’re on shift tomorrow
Hen: Okay, I'll hear you out
Buck: can we match the candy to the trauma?
Ravi: YES

Harry: give them time
Ravi: it's been 3 minutes harry
Harry: Fine, whatever. What do we need to do
Ravi: so you introduce yourself, share your trauma, and what you're putting in the bowl
extra points if the candy is on theme with the trauma
Bobby Nash: Maybe you could give an example Ravi. - Bobby Nash
Ravi: no I need to go last for mine, someone else go first

Buck: great now the salad is going to have licorice in it
Hen: Yeah, that's kinda the whole point Buck
Eddie: Plus, it was your idea to do themed candies.
Buck: who's side are you on Eddie?
E: The side of eating candy.
Ravi: how about you go next eddie
Eddie: Okay.
Hi, I'm Eddie and I was in the army and I brought warheads.

Buck: no but its Eddie so it's inevitable that his will be
Chimney: Anything to say to that one Cap?
Bobby Nash: Buck is entitled to keep his opinions out of work chats. - Bobby Nash
Buck: im being silenced
Harry: If only that was true
Buck: if this conversation is SO upsetting for you then give us your salad pitch harry
Harry: Too afraid you’ll call my trauma sexy
Buck: nothing about you is sexy harry
youre 9 years old
Harry: That’s just not true
Ravi: can we just get back to business
give us your trauma grant
Harry: ugh
Hi I’m Harry and I walked in on Ravi naked.
Ravi: WHY IS THAT YOUR CHOICE
Hen: Now I know you’ve been through something more traumatic than that Harry Grant
Harry: If you had seen what I had to see you’d disagree with that
Buck: I’m with harry on this, sounds like my worst nightmare
Ravi: WHAT IS HAPPENING
Eddie: This was your idea Ravi
Ravi: I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION I WORKED WITH DECENT CULTURED PEOPLE
Eddie: Well that’s on you for thinking that. You have met Harry before.
Harry: Why am I catching strays????
Buck: deserved

Chimney: He’s not pretending.
Buck: I-

Harry didn’t even put a candy in his answer
Ravi: HE DIDN’T GIVE A VALID TRAUMA EITHER SO IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT CANDY HE WOULD’VE CHOSEN TO REPRESENT SEEING ME NAKED

Buck: see THIS is the level of juicy trauma i was encouraging
Hen: Don’t you dare call me sexy Buckley
Ravi: pretty sure that’s only reserved for eddie
Buck: it is reserved for situations where it is relevant thank you
Harry: I fear it’s too good and people won't believe it
Chimney: It’s tiktok, they’ll believe anything
And you can just google it and see it’s real
Buck: plus Hen gives off an aura of someone who's done something incredible like that
Eddie: She can’t help having the coolest trauma out of all of us.
Buck: NOW IT IS MY TURN
Ravi: okay abrupt transition, go ahead

Eddie: Don’t push it Buckley.
Buck: 🙁
+ Buck and Eddie +
Buck: do you not think my trauma is sexy
Eddie: Will it make you feel better if I say it is?
Buck: it will make me feel better if say it and mean it
Eddie: Yes Buck watching you die was very sexy.
Is that what you want me to feel?
Buck: fine fine i get it
was it sexier when i was in the tsunami?
Eddie: You mean when you and my son were in danger and I knew nothing about it?
Buck: what about when I was crushed by the ladder truck?
Eddie: Buck. I am never going to find you being in danger sexy.
Buck: that’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me
Eddie: Your standards are too low for how you let people speak to you if that’s true.
Buck: STOP youre going to make me CRY
Eddie: For what it’s worth. You’re much sexier when you’re like this than when you’re in a hospital bed.
Buck: EDDIE
