15 minutes earlier, various places in LA, Zoom, March 2021:

"Okay, so apparently something came up for the other five people, and they had to leave, but we still have Curt Mega, Mariah Rose Faith, Joe Walker, and Kendall Nicole. Huh? What is Joe doing here? We'll tell you when we reach our first stretch goal. Anyways, how are you guys doing?" Nick asked, more reassured now that people who knew what was happening were there. Nick was staying at Matt's house, and Matt had come home from work, but didn't want to be on the livestream, so he was behind the camera, and nobody other than the rest of the cast knew he was there.
"We're great! Kim wanted to be here, but is trying to fix something in our house, so she can't be here now, although she may join later, but I'm really excited to be here!" Curt said enthusiastically.
"I'm great! Willie is being really loud today, so you might hear him, but we still love him, don't we?" Mariah switched to a baby voice when she talked to her dog, who had ironically just started barking.
Kendall then excused herself for a minute, and Mariah went to go check on something her dog wouldn't stop barking at.
"So, er, Nick, how's the script so far?" Curt asked, breaking the silence.
"It's pretty good, actually. Jeff only has a couple more songs to write, too. Matt and I have been working on it, and we don't think we have much left. Chock full of jokes and gore and fun stuff like that." He answered.
Nick then heard someone, probably Kim, shout something about a toilet, and Curt said, "Sorry guys, our toilet is very broken, so if you'll excuse me for a bit, I need to help my wife keep our apartment from flooding.", and got up. It was just Nick and Joe now, save for Matt who was watching in his living room, keeping an eye on his brother.
"One sec, I need to use the restroom. Curt talking about toilets has made me need to go." Joe laughed and got up. His camera went dark, probably glitching out, for a couple seconds, and when it came back he was gone, going to the restroom.
"Well folks, I guess we're all alone again. Why don't we start things off with a bit of Q and A? Type some questions in the chat, and I'll try to answer them!" Nick was starting to regain a bit of confidence, but that all died when he got another text from the same number. "You're cute. You have so many fwendy-wends, but they're all mine. I'm having fun messing with their mindy-winds. It's time to pway! Will you pway with me?" Nick sucked in his breath, internally cursed, and took another screenshot.
Matt saw concern wash over Nick's face as he glanced at his phone, and so he texted his older brother on their private chat, but before he could hit send, a message from Nick on the Hatchetfield Chat.
Nick
Guys...

Dylan
Did I miss something you guys?
Holy shit, I guess I did.
Matt
Fuck
Nick
Kim, Curt was there.
Kim
Wait what? No, oh fuck. What can we do?
Matt
Honestly, and I wish this weren't true, but I don't think there's anything we can do. You saw the first anonymous text. I'll keep you posted, but I think we have to just wait.
Dylan
Well, we should keep going with the livestream, that's for sure. Pretend like nothing's going on. I was just about to log on, and I'm texting Angela, the Coreys, Brosenthal, June, Jaime, James, and Paul to log on as well, just to keep things running.
