"you do realize she's going to find out who you are right"
"well, when in rome."
"we're in new york but okay."
i refer to everyone (aside from people who, to my knowledge, have spoken up about their discomfort with it) as their real names.

____________ THIRD POV
"so alex, what is there to do in new york around christmas time?" wilbur asks alex as they all get ready to do some sort of activity the next morning.
"oh yeah, i have no clue." he immediately responds, not looking up from his phone.
clay starts wheezing, "wha- what! you- you moved to new york and haven't, i don't know, looked up what to do in new york?"
alex shrugs as niki and minx step out of one of the guest rooms.
"hey karl why don't you ask your lady friend for help?" minx smirks out.
the person in question pulls his hat on with a blush, "i don't know her! she could be busy! or just not want to help."
tubbo buts in, "you'll never know unless you ask." everyone hums in agreement.
"what the honk! why are you all coming for me." he puts his face in his hands.
"don't be a pussy." sapnap comments with a "language!" coming from bad.
"cmon karlos ask her or i will." alex starts joking.
"alright! alright! jeez." and with a sigh he steps out in the hall only to see a guy leaving her apartment.
"oh hi sorry jude is inside." morgan, judes roommate if you forgot, says with a small smile.
"how did you-" karls question is cut off by jude herself, who he didn't notice open her door.
"i told him a cute guy with fluffy hair might come by asking for me." she starts with a wide grin. "also bye morgan. don't forget your laptap charger next time maybe?"
at this morgan flips her off as he walks away but all karl can focus on is the fact that she called him cute. to other people AND to his face!
she turns back to him with a smaller smile. "so what did you need?" he snaps out of his dazed state before blinking a few times.
"what? OH right! uhm so none of my friends are really from around here either so we were wondering if you knew any places to go do fun stuff around here?" as he speaks he runs his hand through his hair a few times due to nerves.
"oh yeah for sure! so did you want me to be a like a tour guide?" she responds, hoping he'll say yes.
"only if you want to! we don't really want to get lost, but i- if you're busy that's totally okay too!" karl starts to stutter under her constant stare.
she nods with a laugh. "if you would give me a moment to get my hat and coat i'd be happy to take you guys to some hot spots. oh and make sure to bring money too incase we want to eat!"
and with that she speedwalks further into her apartment.
karl quickly turns back to alex's apartment with a goofy smile on his face.
as soon as he opens the door he's greeted with looks of anticipation. "she said she would show us some places and that we should bring money incase we eat." they all cheer.
"aye thats poggers." alex says with a smile.
as the americans split their money up with the europeans there's a knock on the door that most of them don't hear. oh but don't worry, tubbo does.
"hello! i'm tubbo." he says with a large smile when he sees the girl who stands around the same height as him.
"oh hi tubbo! im jude its nice to meet you! so are you guys ready to go?"
"wow she's hot." minx comments from where she's standing next to schlatt. which makes everyone turn around to look at the girl, seeing she's right and karl wasn't over exaggerating to describe her as stunning last night.
jude immediately flushes hearing that and goes to respond but gets cut off by karl.
"great we're all ready lets go out the door now. " he pauses as everyone looks at him before clapping. "like right now. we can make introductions on the way downstairs." he rushes everyone out to door toward the elevator as they split into groups so they fit.
luckily for karl he's in the same group as jude.
"so are your friends staying until christmas?" she asks, making conversation while they wait.
"new years actually! my friend alex and i moved here for college and figured it would be a nice time to get everyone together!" he internally cringes as he says that, quickly glancing over to alex who gives him a confused look.
as jude turns to look at where karl is looking he pleads with his hands for alex to go along with it.
"no, yeah everyone else leaves a few days after new years but you're gonna be stuck with us for a while!" alex jokes, deciding to ask karl about it later.
jude nods, "how do you all know eachother?"
alex and karl answer at the same time, "online friends."
"oh cool. i have a few of those, like a french girl named celeste."
"heh. cool." karl replies, giving two awkward thumbs up. internally cursing himself for lying again and dragging alex into it.
