RDJ😎 named the group Where's Chris?

RDJ😎 added banner🧪 to the group
RDJ😎 added pointbreak🏄‍♀️ to the group
RDJ😎 added falcon 🦅 to the group
RDJ😎 added renner🏹 to the group

Scar🕷
Hey Rob. Do we really need another new group?

Falcon 🦅
Seriously man?

Pointbreak🏄‍♀️
Come on mate, there's only so many groups I can be in at once

RDJ😎
Simmer down people, this is important. Has anyone seen Chris?

Scar🕷
Not since yesterday on set

Pointbreak🏄‍♀️
Not today

Falcon 🦅
Nope. Why?

Banner🧪
I haven't seen him

RDJ😎
He's gone AWOL - didn't turn up on set today and he's not answering his phone

Scar🕷
That's not like him

Banner🧪
Maybe he's ill

Scar🕷
He seemed fine when he left yesterday

Falcon 🦅
Now you mention it, I texted him last night and he hasn't replied

Falcon 🦅
Just tried to call - it's going straight to voicemail

Renner🏹
Hey guys, just catching up on the posts

Banner🧪
Late to the party again renner🏹

Renner🏹
I think that Chris was going out last night with Scott and Bettany. Maybe he just had a bit much to drink

RDJ😎
On a school night? Besides, you know he doesn't drink that much

pointbreak🏄‍♀️
We need Bettany on here

Scar🕷
I'm sure that he's okay though, right?

RDJ😎 added Jarvis🧐 to the group

Falcon 🦅
Hey Bettany - my man!

Scar🕷
Hi Paul

Jarvis🧐
Hello Americans

Renner🏹
Look out, the Brit is here

Jarvis🧐
Just raising the IQ of the group renner🏹

Pointbreak🏄‍♀️
Who invited the Pom to join this group? I thought it was important people only 😉

Jarvis🧐
Surely the fact that they let an Aussie in would prove otherwise 😁

Scar🕷
Did you go out with Chris last night, Paul?

Jarvis🧐
Yes. How green did he look today? 😖 Because he was absolutely wasted last night

Scar🕷
What?

Captain RDJ😎
He didn't turn up today

Jarvis🧐
Must have been more tanked than I thought then

Scar🕷
Okay, now I'm worried - that's totally out of character for Chris.

Jarvis🧐
Yeah, but we've all been there, haven't we? Depressed about some guy or girl and drank ourselves just this side of alcohol poisoning

Banner🧪
That doesn't sound good

RDJ😎
Depressed about a girl? Has the love boat hit an iceberg?

Scar🕷
What did he say?

Jarvis🧐
I don't know...something about some girl that he'd been messaging and how he'd messed it all up

Renner🏹
Oh God, what's he done now? That guy is a relationship disaster zone

RDJ😎
What did he do?

Jarvis🧐
Not really sure - he was already pretty far gone by the time I got there. He just kept going on about how wonderful she was and what an idiot he'd been

Jarvis🧐
And he just got more and more morose as the evening went on. By the time I left, he'd got to the stage of 'no one's ever going to love me, and I'm going to die alone and be eaten by cats.'

Pointbreak🏄‍♀️
Bloody hell

Scar🕷
Poor Chris 💔

Falcon 🦅
What time did he call it a night?

Jarvis🧐
I don't know - I left just after midnight and they were still drinking then

Scar🕷
Do we know if he got home alright if he was that drunk?

Jarvis🧐
Scott said he'd make sure that Chris was okay

RDJ😎
I'm calling Scott

Jarvis🧐
So he's not normally a big drinker?

Banner🧪
Not really

Falcon 🦅
He usually just has a couple then moves on to soft drinks

Renner🏹
Don't judge the guy - maybe he just had a shitty time and needed to get trashed for once

RDJ😎
Scott says everything is okay. Chris did indeed get wasted last night and didn't come into work because he was suffering from, in Scott's words, 'a motherfucker of a hangover'. Apparently Scott was concerned enough to sleep on Chris's sofa last night to keep an eye on him

Scar🕷
Scott's a good brother

RDJ😎
He says that Chris will be back at work tomorrow, no matter how bad he feels
