#No shaders I die like a man.

[candycryptids]

Searching through old tomes, the smell of dust and lingering magic heavy in the air. The book it's seeking must be deeper in the library, past more abandoned guardians. Nothing its Carbuncle, Louis, can't handle though.

[yakumtsaki]

Welcome back, beloved readers! Things have finally calmed down for me so it’s time to inflict this update on the world. When we last left off, BATSHIT FELINA SMASHED VICTORIA’S URN

-WHY IS IT NOT BROKEN?!?

Because it turned out there’s a cheat to repair urns, HA. In your face!

-I BROKE THAT THING FAIR AND SQUARE

Felina seriously, GO TO HELL. I freaked out thinking I’d have to either quit without saving (hadn’t saved since before SUGAR DIED) or I’d have to deal with Victoria’s missing character file. You’re not allowed anywhere near the mausoleum again! 

-THAT’S FINE, I’LL JUST TRAP MYSELF IN THIS WALL UNTIL I DIE AND THEN YOU’LL BE SORRY

Bruh. I’ve had enough of this house, between the walls of death..

..the eternal yard fire..

..and the fact everyone is afflicted with a gross cold they keep passing around despite the fact I gave them medicine-

-I, a retired Mayor, was clearly the right choice to make medicine.

Well I thought you might do something useful for once, Shajar, but joke’s on me. Point is, it’s time to gtfo..

..to our new gigantic house! Look at all our crap on the lawn, and yes, I’m referring to the sims. 

I unpaused for 1 second to check something and Barf and Failina (Barflina?) have re-become enemies?? Did you stop being enemies at some point because I completely missed it. 

-We did but new house, new us!

It’s done! I went all out on this house for no discernible reason, let me give you the grand tour:

First floor! Man this house is a nightmare. 

Foyer! 

Luxurious pet room!

Kitchen!

Dining room!

Gambling room Library!

And living room!

Moving on to the second floor, Cyn and Sophie/Shajar’s bedrooms I kept the basically same as in the last house. The unfinished bedroom is Sugar and Sandy’s for reasons that will be explained shortly. 

I really feel I made this house too nice for the Unions but what can you do. 

Felina and Barth’s rooms in their ~signature colors~

And Liz and Sophito’s bedroom which is clearly all Liz.

Finally, on the little rooms on the third floor are the music room that @microscotch​ decorated❤️, and a lame room where we keep all our career rewards!

The mausoleum, which is unchanged other than I moved the pet graves in it and put them under each generation..

..and this is the yard! I kept it pretty much the same except larger-

-and I added a lake! We’re all done, time to unpause and enjoy long, safe lives in our new house..

OMG WTF

-YOU CAN’T ADD A FLAMETHROWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUNTAIN, MORON -EVERYONE KNOWS WATER CATCHES FIRE 

BRO. When I tell you guys the entire family almost perished in a FOUNTAIN FIRE. Incredibly fitting cause of death. Thankfully the firefighter heroically saved us and all is well! Now I can’t wait to play a billion sims and pets on this gigantic cc-filled lot with no further problems whatsoever!

Alright then! I had a feeling it might come to this, Sugar take Sandy and gtfo.

-I will but be warned, our absence won’t solve anything! 

Ya, it sure DIDN’T. GROSS. Finally I turned off shaders and it went away, ok Sug, you and Sandy can move back in..

..and we can begin the ENDLESS task of getting all the skill points you lost to zombiehood back. And once you’re back at the top of your career and Sandy tops hers you are OUTTA HERE, you hear me???

-Ya ya, how many times are you gonna kick me out and move me back in? Admit it already, you LOVE ME. 

Ok ‘love’ is a strong word-

-YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT ME.

LET’S MOVE ON

It’s our first night in the new house and this is how Sophie and Shajar sleep. 

-Close enough for me. -I’d like another wall between us, actually.

#itsover

-Ah, nothing like that first sip of whiskey before school!

Ya Barth, I’m a little concerned about your aspiration bar.

-Ah, nothing like the first four glasses of whiskey after shcool!

Ya ok, we’re calling the matchmaker this weekend.

Jimbo (the puppy we adopted to mate with Veronica, I don’t remember if I introduced him) grows up and he looks ICONIC

The difference between their necks LOL

It’s Sophito’s birthday and Liz’s is in a few days, so it’s time to get started on their death portraits. What a cheerful gift, Cyn! 

Family reunion! Look at everyone all together, getting along..

..even Gunther came but completely ignored the party and went straight for the ballet bar, which legit made me emo, idk if you guys remember during generation 1 how obsessed he and Daniel were with the ballet bar, awww❤️ Alright, back to the party, go on Soph, blow your candles-

OH FFS

-SCREW YOU, FAILINA, IT’S BEYOND TIME TO HAVE OUR FIRST FIGHT IN THE NEW HOUSE  -AGREED, AND I CAN THINK OF NO BETTER MOMENT THAN THE ONE RIGHT BEFORE OUR FATHER BLOWS HIS CANDLES IN FRONT OF OUR ENTIRE FAMILY

Ok are you done?? Is this over?? Let’s try the cake again, Soph-

-Sorry, it’s time for me to finally reconnect with iVan, huhu!💗 -Awww, I’m so happy for you, grandma Cyn!

-DON’T BE TOO HAPPY, FAILINA -FUCKING BRAT, I HAD MY BACK TURNED

OK YOU KNOW WHAT, FORGET IT

HERE, HE’S GROWN UP. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SOPHITO 

-WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS FAMILY~👻

Ya idk, Victoria, you tell me, it’s your amazing DNA at work. 

-YOU’RE AN EMBARASSMENT, BARTHOLOMEW  -Well that hurts, grandma! 

-Thankfully nothing a drink won’t fix!

Oh my- I’d like to clarify at this point that this goddamn party is still going on-

-when this simultaneous pet and human fight occurs:

It’s Jimbo vs Shinok..

..and Barflina vs human dignity.

-Oh no, babe, I can’t look! -How could this happen, we were such involved parents!!

And at the moment where Barth throws his sister through a window, the matchmaker rewards us with a genie lamp for treading the arduous path of excellence. I don’t know about you, but what I take from this is we are perfect and should never attempt to improve ourselves in any way!

Outsiders, Krowfangs POV, episode 1.

These are hours long, so I might get through maybe 2 a day. This specific episode is 4 and half hours long, so I doubt it's all important, I'll try to keep the notes fairly short for everyone's convenience, theories might be saved for separate posts. Enjoy

Edit: I've looked through the playlist, and the channel I found the vods on, and episode 12 is gone. Is it fully gone, or can I find it elsewhere?

Krow seems overwhelmed, obviously

It doesn't think they want to know what it's been eating for the past 2 months.

It's been told no one else has survived and is understandably upset and in denial. It's been told about the lever and has moved from denial to anger, just speed running the stages of grief rn

Krow is really leaning into anger in the stages of grief. That and denial, which honestly is different from everyone else, I believe, so that's fun.

Soup is hitting the sound barrier right now, queen lower your mic please.

Krow really hates Beks, I think I could tell in Owen's POV, but I didn't really know how much.

It sucks that Krow and Soup didn't get time to grieve before they had to leave, clearing 2. Like, I get why they had to leave so quickly, but it still sucks that they didn't even get a minute.

Krow seems to mesh well with Mohwee and kinda meshes well with Oeca.

Krows planning to destroy clearing 1 from the inside out

"That's what I'm saying!" - Mohwee about literally anything Krow says. Love a hype man

Mohwee, Oeca and Krow are making fun of Ori

Gracie is being sweet at least, she does say that people care even if it doesn't seem like it. Krow has just been told Apo was an elected leader, elected after the levers were flipped, so now it doubts everyone's judgement. Which makes perfect sense to me.

Krow is just bullying Oeca, I love this so much. Krow really doesn't like Ori. Krow has acquired Mohwees shoes.

Owen has called Krow twisted for not trusting those that voted for Apo. Squidney has offered Krow a place to sleep in her kitchen until it makes a house.

Ori is going to jump off his tree and is trusting Krow to catch him. Apparently, he's done this with everyone. Why? Krow tried, Ori caught himself, but Krow still tried. Krow thinks Ori is smart.

Krow really likes the denial and anger stages. Planning to throw Apo into the maze to die from Grievers.

It's noting that Owen puts a lot of trust in people and knows a lot.

Krow is quite observant. Clearing 2 had a stocked shooting range underground, so if they had things underground, there are probably some things there left to scavenge.

Some of the chat head cannoned Krow having bad vision because of its hair covering its eyes (and irl being from shaders), which is so funny, but Krow having generally bad vision could be perfect for angst or just generally funny moments.

Krow walked onto a lit bonfire, which is certainly something.

Dramatic flashback time - Soup is coming to give Krow leather so it could make books for Percival. Bek broke a fence and released cows, then didn't fix it. Griever! They get in the cave and there's a screech then the sound of rocks falling!

That was actually really good, I love a flashback, even if it's only from earlier in the maze, arguably I love them more as it expands character especially for people we didn't get to see at the start of the series. It provides enough info about all characters named while also being fast-paced.

I don't think I missed anything, but let me know if I did. As much as I'm sure I'll try, videos that are more than 2 hours can start to drag for me, so I'm trying to spread the videos out throughout my day to keep me engaged. So I might have missed something lore wise or just interesting about maze Krow. Please remember I'm here for the characters, so unless I've accidentally crossed a boundary or messed up a pronoun, please nothing about the content creators.

LIMEADE by AudieoVisual

LIMEADE is a level I'm surprised I don't like more, because there's a lot of elements that I really love, but there are some parts of the level that, ironically, sour the experience for me. "Sweet and sour" is actually a very appropriate way to describe the level, funnily enough. I'll start by describing the sour half.

As I saw a little bit of AudieoVisual's WIP streams for this level, I was a little disappointed to see the use of the pixellate shader for the background of the first ball part. It's very reminiscent of how iTMG uses a pixellation effect for backgrounds in their videos, so much so that honestly could be a point of inspiration. But where it works for iTMG and where it doesn't for AudieoVisual is the context. iTMG makes videos about Minecraft, so the pixellation integrates the motion graphics in a really cool way. This isn't a review of an iTMG video though, so I'll say that it doesn't fit in LIMEADE at all, even as a contrast. LIMEADE is poppy, smooth, and fluid, and to me, the pixel shader breaks up that flow.

There are a handful of details I dislike, like how the Blast Processing blocks (for lack of a better term) used towards the middle of the level have an abrupt cutoff that looks intentional, but my biggest gripe is the gameplay and difficulty progression. The first part, the upward ship, is a really cool opening, but after playing it for the tenth time, it gets a little stale in terms of gameplay. It wouldn't be out of place in a 2-4 star level, and this is an 8 star level. This is something I've noticed in another of AudieoVisual's levels, CUT DEEP, where the first wave is impossible to die to, so while it looks cool, it gets very boring for a demon level.

This wouldn't be as much of a problem if the dual towards the end of the level wasn't such a big difficulty spike. I understand the choice to use a mirror portal for this part, because I think the level definitely could have benefited from a direction change--making the first ship part go up was a great decision that made the level stand out, but the mirror portal ain't it, man. I think it, or a camera rotation to make the part go up or down, would have been more effective if the part wasn't quite so hard. Despite the click indicators, the readability is a little tough, and I encountered a few bugs where I shouldn't have died, which was somewhat frustrating. This dual is definitely what brings the level up to an 8 star, and I think nerfing it to bring the level down to something like a 6 star would've improved the experience.

Onto the sweet part of the review! AudieoVisual's foray into art levels has been great to watch, I love the various art components and how they've been integrated into the level. The citrus fruits, obviously, are used heavily and are used as obstacles for a few parts, which I thought was really cute, and I really like the martini glass that you drop into and float out of; it really enhances the flavor of the level, in more ways than one.

Another detail I like, though less flavorful in one aspect, is the very tasteful yet impactful use of particles. I love the rotating stars that splash onto the screen in the first part, and the floating background particles in the background of the first ball are such a perfect emulation of a bubbling drink--it almost makes my mouth water.

Since this is AudieoVisual we're talking about, there's a lot of kinetic text, and I think this is always a really nice detail to include, but it's executed very well here--in particular the squash and stretch on "zesty", it is absolutely delectable. Besides that, not much else to say here; great as usual.

I could go on describing every individual component of the level, but I don't want to write that much, so I'll zoom out to a bigger picture perspective. If I were to describe LIMEADE in one word, it would be "juicy". While I'm not the biggest fan of the song, the level synergizes with it extremely well; it's so poppy, colorful, and saturated. I feel like I'm a kid in the early 90's on a hot and humid summer day cooling off with an intensely sweet can of lemonade--the vibes are excellently communicated.

The single piece of media this level reminded me of the most was a poem from the character Selmers in Night in the Woods, and I'll conclude with that:

Sometimes I like fruit snacks Out by The train tracks A juice box And headphones I enter The juice zone.

[speaker-of-the-void-cats]

This is not regret, this story I tell. It is but a ripple.

That whisper of ideas beyond swords is here to stay: I have ensured this. Even among us, such things die by slow inches, excruciating and unquiet. Possibility remains, a secret woven into the blank spaces of dogma. That what was defeated may rise again; that the shape of all shapes is not yet settled. That the worms need the Hive more than is reciprocal. Even between the lines of the Books of Sorrow themselves is this written.

Got a serendipitous drop after studying the Weapons of Sorrow all week: Solipsism with Necrotic and Synthoceps. Always have loved Thorn and Necro, but have never felt like a build is complete with them until now. So of course I had to go all out on fashion. I tried to make every little bit mesh and mean something, including shader names (which was a fun little challenge). The build leans into melee hard, with Arcane Needles and Lightning Surge, plus a glaive with Close to Melee, it's a blast

"The Weapons of Sorrow are not the endgame, but a road map. Each evolution, every advance in the delivery of pain and the mastery of destruction feeds the Hive's hateful weapons research. They will map every scream, harness every aggression, until they understand every method by which to ravage the hearts, minds, and flesh of man. And in doing so, they will turn us against ourselves—feeding our lust, our greed, our fear, until we become a threat unto ourselves like none we could imagine. So, wield these, angry reaper. Strive to know the darkness in your own heart. Walk in the shadows of fallen heroes. And know that you are an enemy of hope."

OnG its a TOYTTINN

(Not his ref sheet, I just wanted to post this and obesse over him. Also i dont know how to explain my ocs, so this is gonna be unorganized. )

So he's my oc, Toytin. And I love him very much. And he is literally physically incapable of being rude.

I made him 7'1 (big.) and the son of Baphomet. In my universe, there is layers upon layers of lore that can differentiate my hell from the hell in the bible. In this case, Baphomet is the pure embodiment of hell (his presence keeps it alive.) And is basically a copy of Lucifer.

Anyway.

He's half goat, you really can't tell because he is a doll- Like literally, his family was knitted and sewn by Baphomet himself. The only person besides Baphomet in his family that's organic is his mother, who was a angelic species used as tools

He's very special, and when I say special I mean he's autistic.

Toytin is infamous for his energetic behavior. He accepts anyone, actually. Well, besides food. Specifically meat, and that's because for the majority of his childhood/teen years (he's 16.) He grew up as a puppet. He's -quite literally- is crochet. His family dynamic was very dystopian. More joblike than family. And he had a big use in it.

The reason why Baphomet went to earth in the first place was his plan of conquest of earth. You see, between heaven and hell theres only one earth. And each fight over it to gain the bigger resource.

This is why he created a makeshift family to fulfill his greed. Toytins' role in the family is only a role for one. He's supposed to stay locked in a forest, in a trance, until a being approaches him. He befriends the person and takes them to his home, usually getting them to stay the night. Then they go missing in the morning.

He was obvious to what he was doing. and he always did this once a week. He just thought his friends left early, unaware his friends were his breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (Baphomet grew a nasty habit of eating people.)

After finding out the real reason why they go missing- After breaking the cycle and finding his friend nearly butchered-His family turned into a guards system, protecting Baphomet. Toytin had no other choice but to fight them, as either they'd kill him or he'd kill them.

In the end, he banishes/sends Baphomet back to hell-By killing him..- yet Baphomet didn't permanently die. He just couldn't go to earth until the 'portal' was opened.

He's able to escape the forest-Barely alive due to his injuries.- And is taken to a hospital (He's found by a passerby known as Caleb.) Caleb stays with him, mighty curious as to what the thing is he found and takes great pity on him.

When Toytin is finally discharged Caleb takes him into his hooves (Caleb's a Llama.) And finds a man who can fit Toytin into his home. A manticore in the shader aprtd of town named Mars, he's around Toytins age aswell, making the meeting perfect.

So Caleb, a close friend to Mars, Gets Mars to take Toy in. Mars home situation isn't the best for Toy to live on. The home is a wooden antique shop, shut down a decade ago or so. It was practically given to Mars for free, and it has Mar's own shine on it now.

Now, for a short character bio, Mars is a short (5'11) Albino manticore. He works at a small diner nearby (where he met Caleb.) And nobody seems to really know where he came from. Not as if it mattered to them though, Mars had many enemies and little friends due to his sharp temperament. Which, in a way, was the polar opposite of Toytins.

But despite holding a grudge Mars grows close to Toytin. Mars immediately disliked Toytins loud, joyful personality but they had similar experiences in life. It caused them to grow strongly connected.

But even with such a strong hate, after a while of being together, Mars finds himself attracted to Toy. And when "sick" for a month, he advances on Toytin, and sleeps with him. (ALSO. Now both of them are 18 atp.)

For once, knowingly sinning, Toytin has a existential crisis. And tries to redeem himself by using magic -incapable of accepting his flaws.- he creates a near-death experience he has eith his father.

Now, let me explain his deep connection to Baphomet. Because Baphomet made Toytin, Baphomet has the "doll" that controls Toytin. Yet, when he was killed and the doll was lost the connection between them broke (This connection was similar to a hiveminds, their consciousness connected.). The "experiment" Toy performed rebonded this connection. And in a need for vengeance and power, Baphomet ate at the potential.

First, he'd wake up in the middle of the night at the spot where his old home was. After, He nearly killed Mars in a accident at school. And finally, jumping at the chance, when Mars and Toytin were playing a video game together Baphomet sucked both of their consciousness into the game. That game he turned into a vessel, straight to hell.

Okay, okay, let me explain how it works. In this universe, or my theory is that the consciousness can be broken and ascended different dimensions. Your consciousness is the only thing in your body that doesn't go by pattern, it's ideas are completely natural. So, with a disconnected consciousness. A force in another dimension could possibly take you -If your mind broke enough.-

What about Mars however? How did he get in? It was a simple error on Baphomets part, and if I ever post his lore it'll explain it.

-

Thats kinda all of the lore I want to share/have the mental capacity, too. Sorry if it's generic. Anyway, boombayah.

[willowser]

Videogame Question Time

Who is the number one person in the game industry and why?

Kiana Kaslana. Has the best character design, best story arc, follows god, has a gun and a sword, has an evil avatar too.

Who is the second?

Seele from Honkai Impact 3. Most powerful character in the game. Stronger than Kiana and Mei.

What is the strongest vehicle in the entire game industry?

The sub in GTA Online.

What is the strongest character with non magical attributes?

Doom guy.

Who composed the best soundtrack in a video game?

Shadow of the Colossus

Who is your favorite character?

Sam from Metroid Prime or Raiden Mei.

If you could change any videogame storyline what would you do?

Half Life 2 Ep 2 Alyx’s dad dies and they don’t have a person to give her directions in HL 3 so they never made it… I would’ve changed it to the combine just trap him or something instead and doggo has his coordinates but Gordon has to fix him bc he gets injured by the combine when her dad gets taken and he tries to help him then they fight g man and it ends with him telling them they created black mesa to fight gladOS and the aliens were their friends bc gladOS was trapping Cave Johnson’s employees underground so Gordon would have to infiltrate their base with Alyx to try to stop her and that’s what causes the beginning of Portal 2 where the whole place has collapsed bc in the end of the game Alyx would have a baby with Gordon but Gordon and Alyx run out of food and die but that baby is the prisoner that gets out of the Portal 2 chambers and sends Wheatley to the moon which then triggers half life 4 where he and the bad aliens there form a pact and they come back to earth and now Alyx’s baby is fighting the combine and the aliens at the same time and in the end she wins by infiltrating black mesa and stealing the dna of the zombie crab aliens and using it to make stronger and smarter aliens than them.. so it becomes like alien warfare that eventually becomes halo 2 but only the covenants story arc and you end up realizing that master chief was against the prisoner of portal 2 and say nah fuck Microsoft and that’s the ending of Half Life 4 bc Gabe Newell worked there and I’m pretty sure that would be the best ending and reason they actually created Halo… to compete with Valve but the main reason he created that game and never finished it was bc those are probably the correct storylines to HL3 and HL4.

What is your favorite videogame and why?

Sky children of the light, has a social system that should exist on social networking platforms so we wouldn’t feel harassed by community members or like randos.

What is your favorite videogame memory?

Sakura Miko playing Pokémon on the Switch and she finally gets a pink one she’d been being wanting for days. She was crying and screaming it was running to her and fell asleep by her.

What do you think about the videogame industry as a whole?

I don’t like it. I think Valve publishes good titles and so does Apple but Microsoft and the rest of them have like bad boy status to upkeep and it’s like Todd from Bethesda fucking up Fallout 76 Online just to say yeah we made this online game you can drop props in.. like nobody was asking for that. Skyrim with mods was good but it was good bc it had enb shaders and good looking clothes with like 4k textures and nexus support. Fallout with Forge creator was not and nobody that made that game understands the roleplay aspect of games.. like you will not have ppl RPing dying in a wasteland in the 1950s… that’s weird but ofc ppl would roleplay The Witcher series or Cyberpunk.. Todd from Bethesda is weird and those MS ppl bought a weird studio too.

Eret 29 JAN 22

Rescuing Michael Part 1/1

I forgot liveblogging was a thing

I was messaging my friend I got in dsmp

Maiming Eret with Techno on my iPad.

They’re going to beat up Eret. Please. If Eret loses a life during this.

“They took your stuff. They took your baby. You got nothing man.” -Techno

Ope Sam joined

Alright Eret’s stream is delayed compared to Techno.

Eret honey please don’t die.

It’s so quiet. We aren’t in VC

“Should we start stabbing or talk to them first?” -Techno

Eret on his throne. We love a queen.

Alright Eret made a bad decision again.

I’m happy Stimming I love Eret lore.

To be fair tubbo is making good points.

So is Eret.

Techno. You keep standing there you’re doing fine honey.

Let’s not stab.

Oh yeah Sam doesn’t live in the prison.

Scuffed. It’s Technos scuffed.

Oh they’re making references to the Discord.

Discord is only a book

Get vengeance. Do it.

I mean yeah. Dad in lots of armor would scare a kiddo.

“A team up of Tubbo and everyone who’s murdered him in the past.” Oh it is.

I understand Tubbo being sus of this event.

Eret’s apologized?

Oh Eret’s skin has a new crown? Sorry I glanced at Technos stream and got distracted.

Trying to take turns apologizing

Wherever Techno comes from they don’t have multiple lives

Someone write that down the one life theorists were correct.

Alrighty good apology.

Anyway off to beat to Sam.

“The uneasy alliance” and tubbo is the ghost.

Oh was Eryn afk??

I glanced down.

Water break? Hydrate.

Oh only Eret prepared to hydrate.

Prime path (and channel members y’all can be here too)

Spooky scary prison.

ERET PUT ON SHADERS!

Eret’s shader pictures of the SMP are the best.

Oh the player Michael.

Oh tnt dupers. Spotted by Tubbo.

And no one else with render distance up.

This trio is my favorite. I can’t wait to learn their trio name.

Bell!!! Hooray!!

Follow/Sub! Do it!

I’m going to get a noise complaint from listening to this where half the people can’t keep a reasonable level of volume.

Bell from god.

Techno standing on the boat. I glanced at the other stream and my audio isn’t caught up yet.

Slowly sail.

3 man boat!

Trident and boat. What a group.

Judging Techno’s Uber etiquette.

Thing in the horizon.

Tubbos stream is render distance. Eret’s stream is shaders. Technos stream is technos stream.

I glance at Technos stream and they’re doing group screenshots?

Oh now conversing.

Eret starting off by calling Sam and bastard.

Sam I can’t hear you kid?

Tubbo seems to have a habit of hiding behind Eret at various times.

Techno left and returned.

BLOOPER! Robot stream on Technos end.

Deep voice people. And tubbo.

Gib da Baby.

“Everybody back up!” Everyone steps closer.

Tubbo please don’t die for not having your armor on.

In the corner like a bad kid.

There he is! There’s the baby!

Gotta wait for day.

Piston door trapped in a boat. Wow.

Sam’s on his supervillain arc.

Trying to prevent escapes.

This was a messy plan. It’s like the theorists said. He can’t fathom a plan going wrong.

Didn’t want to kill Ranboo? Honey. No.

I swear Eret is here for cinematic shots.

Oh no. Tubbo and Eret have the same idea.

Tubbo? Who the hell are you talking about?

Dad a what’s he called is according to Technos chat.

Prisoning Sam?

Sams options are be killed, or have to let them into the prison to put him in it.

Why is the prison a bad idea?

Technos discord trash.

Blooper filled stream. Our favorites.

Sam I swear to FUCK stop whispering.

I swear I’m impressed that Eret can mine dirt and such in character.

Sam having to swim because he can’t follow Uber etiquette.

Coming back for Michael later. Good.

This is going to take 20 years.

Sams tipping and rating now.

I love jokes like these that are slightly meta.

Uber sponsor the DSMP.

Sam and Techno standing up to face off for a sec.

Oh yeah. Sam’s worldeater.

Built world eater to collect blocks and such?

This isn’t Sam neg. I just think it’s funny they keep calling him a super villian.

Turning technos stream away from me so I can avoid spoilers.

A single raw potato from Eret.

Sam pressed the button. Is everything going to work?

Sam?

Alright Techno in and stab.

Through the portal.

Whoops. They messed the timing. 2/3 of them have never been in.

Tubbo?

Abandoned stuffs.

What? Why free him for giving stuff back?

Eret with TnT to mess up the redstone.

Makes sense.

Sam has armor again too btw

Oh they noticed.

Sam on half a heart. I swear the bloopers.

“No one breath on me for the next several minutes.” -Sam

Stuff missed in the locker.

Oh Ranboo’s “Do Not Read”. But we’re not reading it?

Poking Sam through the prison.

Sam for the love of god speak up.

Sam first.

Tubbo took the access card.

Good heavens this is a mess.

Laggy. Whoops.

Techno stream is yelling at him to get Eret.

Please techno and Tubbo. Stop reminiscing and get the dude.

Eret yoinking the gold. Sigh.

Eret thinking. Everyone else thinking.

They aren’t sure what tower they are going to.

Primes and members!!!

Shaders our beloved.

Noisy pumpkin farm.

Oh the Do Not Read book. Right.

They’re giving it to Ghostboo.

Techno placing back the snow.

Ghostboo just accepting the book. Being polite.

Hello Techno raiders.

Makes sense this has been planned since November. Techno was short an arm for December or so.

Eret and Sam wrote most of it. 🥺

Alright time to start looking for Manatreed’s stream.

[windfighter]

Apparently we're fighting the hermits now? Okay then, I'll go too!

Keralis - Keralis is great at escaping and I am great at missing. We'd be in a stalemate until he realizes he can fight back. He'd call me sweetface and ask why I'm doing it and I'd die from regret (or from a creeper that sneaks up on us while we're fighting). He has a pretty but punchable face. Might fight him, but would rather just tour his base. 3/10

Rendog - Have you seen his wrestler-skin? I stand no chance, but maybe I can use the opportunity to unlock hidden background lore for my own character. 5/10 because we always need more lore

False - No one raises a sword against the queen. 0/10 but I'll enjoy watching her fight the rest of you.

Ex-eye-suma - People say he's punchable but I just want to hug him. 0/10 because even if I tried he'd just look at me and I'd put away my sword again.

cubfan135 - Mr 135 fan of the cub has it coming. I love him but holy carp does his grinding put the rest of us to shame. 8/10 I would get completely destroyed but it would be worth it.

B of the double of the O - This man is feral. He carries knives hidden under his shirt every day. Little does he know I also always carry hidden knives. Our defeat will be mutual and everyone watching will wonder what happened. 4/10 because I don't actually want to fight someone with that much feral energy.

Beef - Would fight him only because the shaders. Would proceed to get completely destroyed. 7/10

Mr Goodtimes - I would win but at what cost? At least he would laugh in confusion while it all goes down. HIs laugh would distract me and his right hand enemy bdubs would come in and slay me at the last second. Oh looks lite I didn't win after all. 0/10

Tango - This man regulary handles ravagers. No way in Hel I'm fighting that. I'd try and he'd sick his iron golem/ravager army on me. My only hope of escape is that the ravagers and iron golems get distracted by each other. 4/10 because at least it'd be an amazing sight watching that army march against me.

Iskall - We'd both be too busy laughing our asses off at the squeakies on top of pacific. Also they're a former hitman and I can't even hit a bale of hay. 0/10 would much rather just hang out with them

Impulse - Would absolutely fight. I'm going to deck him so he finally gets some sleep. Will challenge him to a pillow fight in hopes that it'd help. He would build a pillow fight minigame and proceed to completely wreck me. I will lose but at least there'll be a new minigame for everyone to try. 10/10

Grian - Not as feral as bdubs, but definately chaotic. I stand absolutely no chance and when I try to fly away I'll wreck myself against a wall. Our battle will be quick, unspectacular and forgetable. There's no reason for such a battle. 0/10

Welsnight - Something about him makes me want to fight him, no matter how awesome he is. He will defeat me twice - once in battle and once with a great disstrack. What did I do to deserve that? I'll love him for it. 6/10

Mumbo - Only one I stand a chance at defeating because even if he's secretly buff he's a disaster and a spoon and he'd be distracted enough by something for me to land the killing blow. If we fight near his redstone machinery I will lose tho, because I'd be too busy trying to see what's going on. On the plus-side he'd be too busy explaining it to actually fight me. 0/10 because there wouldn't even be a fight.

ZombieCleo - No, just no. She would kill me with her sarcasm and I would thank her (and then she'd proceed to kill me with her sword just to get my head). 2/10 because it would be fun to see my head in her armor stand scenes.

Etho - Ladders might not be as good at PvP as he once was (his own words) but I have never actually done PvP and I can barely defeat a zombie. He would stand still and I would miss him. He would teleport away and then proceed to headshot me wih a firework. 4/!0 because at least my demise will be colorful

Joe Hills - We'd start fighting then it'd turn into a poem writing marathon. He'll tell me I made a good attempt at rhyming and then teach me about the history of poetry. I didn't know I was interested in that but I can't stop listening. His dogs will tear me apart while I'm distracted. 7/10 because honestly poem writing marathon with Mr Hills sounds like a great time even if it will kill me.

Zedaph - eeeeeh... I'd try but then Tango will arrive to either help him or help me and I'm not prepared to take that chance. There is also a chance that Zedaph just straight up feeds me to Bone Apetite and I'm not sure how good my remains are for bonemeal. 1/10

Hermitcraft recap - will absolutely fight. I have no chance because they will tagteam me and I can't even hit the broad side of a barn in daylight. They might be too busy with making the next recap show and that'll allow me to take them, but that would be dirty and I would rather not. 9/10 because it'll be pretty hilarious.

•| Violacea I. chp. 4 |•

„So you won't tie me up to bed today?” I ask doctor Mahler as she is getting ready for my examination.

„Andreea, don't be rude.” My mother frowned at me.

„That's alright.” Smiles doctor Mahler. „I heard from Katherine you are having some troubles with nightmares lately.” She looks at my legs as she is trying to sound like it wasn't her the last time who tied me up to bed in some weird dark room. „Maybe I could write you some prescription for sleeping pills, what do you say?”

„No, I'm good.” I bark in her direction.

„I feel like that's a great idea.” Says my mom.

„Mom?!” I look at her surprised about her statement.

„Okay then.” Nods doctor and goes to one of many cabinets as she takes out the syringe as she sucks in some weird clear liquid. „Don't worry, Andreea, you are not the first and neither last that is a bit paranoid.” She walks back to me with the needle in one hand.

„Mom, you can't let her do that…” I look at her with tears in my eyes. „You can't!” I starts yelling and tries to defend myself from doctors hand. „Please mom! Say something… Mom!”

My mother just looks at the doctor as she pushes me back into the hospital bed.

„Say something!” I scream at her, tears streaming down my face. But she just plainly looks at me. I can feel the stress overwhelming me once again and my body feels like exploding at any second.

„Put her to sleep.” She whispers simply at the doctor as she notices how I clench my fists.

„No! Please don't!” I scream as a wave of energy blasts through me and throws back everyone from me. All glass in the cabinets shaders to the ground and a computer standing on a table starts smoking a little before it's screen cracks. Doctor Mahler is the first one to stand up with fearful eyes as she tries to get to me quickly. I tries to stand by myself, but my legs just can't do it on their own. Doctor catches me quickly and one of the assistants jumps to her side and helps her hold me. I tried to defend myself, crawling on their clothes, screaming at them to let me go before a small pain appeared on my neck. I can feel my muscles go limp and doctor Mahler is helping me to lie down on the bed as everything around me slowly goes dark. But before I close my eyes completely I turn my head towards my mother who lies lifelessly on the floor with a huge shard going through her neck.

„I killed her.” A woman's voice sounds through the speakers in common room.

Everyone jumps up, looking around. „Friday, what is that?” A man with weird beard asks first.

„I'm sorry, Mrs. Stark, that's none of my programmes that you uploaded.” Says AI's voice.

„Can you run the voice through databases?”

„Of course, sir.” She says again and everything goes silent for a minute before she speaks again: „No one with a voice like that is at any of the databases I have access to.”

Stark scratch his bear before he shrugs hopelessly and says it was probably just some malfunction in the system.

„Alright enough!” A red haired woman stands up and throws her hands in the air. „Are we really gonna act up like it's nothing? She killed someone! Wanda has these weird visions about someone suffering, then there is the blast of energy in Romania. And we will just leave it at that? Because last time, if my memory serves me right, you toys started talking, we were dealing with Ultron! Who tried to make world peace by killing the human race.” She points at Stark like even that was one of his things.

„We can send some agents to look into it. In Romania.” Says Stark surprised by her reaction.

„I will do it myself.” She barks at him.

„Natasha, wait…” Tries to catch up with her Wanda.

„What?” She turn at her still pissed.

„I will come with you.”

„Ne, Wanda… I will call Clint, you stay here, okay?” She smiles at her. „But maybe I could use someone really fast.” She turned her head towards me.

„Hey, Wanda…” Says a man's voice through my lips.

„Pietro, your eyes…” Says someone in the room.

„What is it, Pietro?” Wanda jumps to me quickly.

„I can feel someone looking through me.” He starts explaining.

„Okay, Romanoff, you are right.” Says Stark immediately. „I'm calling Clint to get ready and you will pick him on your way.” He starts pulling something out of his pocket and steps out of the room.

„W-what do you feel?” Wanda asks me quietly.

„She's mourning.”

A lot of voices are bringing me back to my consciousness.

„Look at the brain activity.” Says someone.

„Impossible.” Says someone else. „That's like brain activity of-... Of three people! Look at the curve.”

I can feel weird things being attached to my head.

„Look how it gets up.” Says someone.

„That's because she is awake.” I see what some of the doctors say.

„That's weird. Do you think that activity could have been from her dreams?” Asks one of them.

„Definitely not.” Says other. „But why won't we let her tell us?” He smiles down at me as he pushes a weird button in his hand.

But the place there was supposed to electroduce me just tickles slightly.

„Wh-what…? Why is it not working?”

But the more he lets the electricity go through the more awake and full of energy I feel.

But before anyone else speaks up, doctor Mahler runs through the door and as she sees the scenery she starts screaming at them: „You idiots! She literally gains her energy from electricity and all torture you can think of is electroducing! Give it to me!” She takes the button out of his hand.

I'm not completely sure where my brain started processing all this information, but all I could do was to focus all the energy I just headed right back through the cables with all the power I could find in myself. Everything that is powered by electricity starts flashing with sparkles, before it flames up or just goes black. I can see one of the doctors as he was holding onto something that was powered by electricity, screams out in agony as his hands go black and he falls to the ground. And after that a loud red alarm goes off.

Doctor Mahler takes out her walkie-talkie but it's not working, so she screams something at other doctors in language I know nothing about and they immediately runs out of the room.

„I have no idea how they found us, but you are going with me!” She starts untightening all the strips that hold me in place. With one swift move, she pulls me up to my legs but before she realizes I'm falling back to the ground. She takes one of my hands over her shoulders and starts taking her out of the room.

„I'm gonna shoot you if you say a word, clear? I'm not gonna die in here because of some failed experiment!” She hisses into my ear as I can feel a barrel of a gun pressed right to my side.

I can hear screams in the whole building and everywhere around me is chaos. I can hear a gunshots right in the hallway in front of us and we steps out behind our corner right for me to see one of the doctors holding a kid in front of him and when I realize that he is using him as human shield I can feel my urge to vomit. And as a three bullets goes right through the doctors body and even though the kid is unharmed I turn my head to the side throws right at the doctor Mahler.

„Are you kidding me?!” She screams out.

Doctor is pulling me through the hallway, away from all the gunshots. If she wasn't about to save her life I would be touched by her carrying me with her. We stand in front of a door that are secured with number code. She starts pushing the numbers with a shaky hand.

„Let go of the girl and hand surrender.” Speaks up a woman's voice behind us. Doctor Mahler pushes me away from her and I end up lying on the ground but the gun is still pointed at my head.

I can feel myself trembling but as I realize who is standing in front of me I feel a wave of calm coming over me.

„Natasha Romanoff.” I whisper, when I realize that is her name. But that is a mistake I shouldn't have done, because she turns her attention towards me and the doctor quickly points her gun at her and pulls the trigger. Natasha quickly jumps behind the corner, as her senses kick in quickly before the bullet is shot. She looks behind the corner, trying to analyze the situation but before she can do something an arrow is shot through the air and it ends in the doctor's chest. I can see the tip drill through her and coming out from her back and I have to hold myself to hold all my intestines in once again.

Natasha stands up in front of me and before I even say thank you a small dart ends up in my neck.

„Don't take this personally.” She says before my world goes dark.

Chp. 5

TAG LIST: 

@littlegasps

[ranmanjuu]

not a request but can you imagine oda forces trying to play smash against the anti-oda or they all play minecraft together

i’ll expose myself here. i have never ever played smash (although minecraft steve being announced is super pog) so i can’t tell ya that part bud. but i can with the blok game. (disclaimer that this request was made after i closed it yet my heart said No, you actually Want to do this so here i am. most probably will be short).

‎

welcome folks, to SengokuSMP.

oda forces:

—nobunaga:

would be the one that steals your iron and shit. commits thefts willy nilly, and no one is exempt from this. if he needs it, he’ll get it with or without your consent.

would kill an iron golem for the few iron it gives

before he got his own base (cause i think he’d just spend most of his time mining and getting materials to protect himself) he’s probably just barge in the nearest bed and sleep in it, regardless of the owner.

his base would probably be built by hideyoshi or sumthn.

he prefers playing pvp more than just survival. since mc placed a kind of restriction for the end (and therefore blocking them from completing the game), he goes onto servers and practice his battles even in a block game.

1.9 axe-shield pvp. he’s tactical in knowing when to strike and block and to back down, and is immaculate with his crits.

—hideyoshi:

probably spends the first few days around nobunaga to protect him. he always fights off the mobs near him even if nobunaga can handle himself.

always reminds people to sleep every night, so that the phantoms don’t come. even though a lot of the players prefer to just stay up.

built a base for nobunaga near his mine cause he needs A Place and not just mooch furnaces and beds from other people.

spawned iron golems for “protection” but nobunaga keeps killing them cause it just gets in the way

would be the one to make mines 4 blocks high so you don’t Bump your head thing, probably like 3 block width and even staircases. would also be the one to make a safety railing across any bridges he finds.

if an ally, he’d greet new players and give them some extra stuff so that they have Something to start off with

i feel like he’d be a pve player idk why

—mitsuhide:

no one knows where he is most of the time. nor his base.

unless you see his nametag (which, most of the time, he’ll see yours first) it’s kinda hard to find him when he’s off and alone.

mf is the black market of the server. whatever potions, potion ingredients, or shit like that, he has. he probably owns like several wither skulls enough to summon a wither.

he would sneak around when mc is mining and just like. scare the shit out of them. the cave noises don’t help.

(the newest screenshot hasn’t been released yet but,) y’all know the warden? the new mob? cause it’s reliant on sounds, if anyone is ever in its proximity he’d throw like snowballs at them so that it goes after them. little shit.

bow skills?? perfect. even in a game his accuracy is spot on. you know those obstacles people make with like slime blocks and maybe mlg 360s? mf can do that

he probably knows enough redstone to make traps, too.

somehow knows what everyone has/doesn’t have.

—masamune:

prank ass bitch.

he probably has like a Source of tnts in his base or something. if anyone is moving out of their old base, he’ll either blow it up or burn it, whether they wanted to or not.

fuck it. he’ll do it even if you’re not moving.

probably doesn’t often sleep and would rather fight off the phantoms than anything.

he probably wants to defeat the dragon quick, cause it’s supposed to be the game’s ultimate goal. but because of the previous restrictions you put, he just goes off and fights other players (cough kenshin, nobunaga)

and when he does kill you, expect like half of your items to not be returned.

also one of the casual thieves in the server. he just doesn’t care that it Belongs to someone and just yoinks

also a pvp player, although i find him leaning more to 1.8 style. he will jitter click you out of existence.

has dogs because idk he gives off that vibe also they Attack.

—ieyasu:

does not log on much lol. he got on once and then Never Again. it’s only when you ask him that he begrudgingly does get in in his own contrarian way.

definitely goes wayy far out for more isolation cause he doesn’t want to get caught up with whatever shit masamune has.

the only major thing he did besides mining and everything was that he got a cat. and almost no one knows about it, other than you because:

“ieyasu has made the advancement [Best Friends Forever]!”

“mc: :OOOOO!!!!”

yeah, you never told anyone.

the longest time that he logged in at first was probably when he found out that cats sleep in beds and just. sat there as the night goes by in his bunker just watching and hearing it purr. he’s a bit irritated when the others tell him to sleep, but then see that the cat went and slept on him that secretly made his heart soft.

and then you insisted on going to his base which took a considerable amount of time, and even with his denying, you decide to decorate and expand his base! you also got to name the cat, but you never knew since you just said like “i’d name it [...]!” and later ieyasu found a name tag and actually did name it that.

—mitsunari:

he doesn’t run a lot i don’t feel. primarily because he was wonky with the controls from the start.

i feel like he’d have the brain to be a redstone engineer. he spends more time like, making those cool machines than anything (probably those that’d help out everyone like an automated farm, etc.)

thing is he forgot that he could die, so most of the time he’s just starve to death without even noticing it.

much like in real life, he always forgets to sleep. and that’s why phantoms are his number 2 in his cause of deaths.

doesn’t have an actual base. hideyoshi built a small one for him, but mitsunari kind of never uses it and just logs off on the spot. at this point it just became a part of the main buildings for everyone or something.

he doesn’t do an awful a lot of collecting and often asks others for some. and when he is given it, he goes “thank you ^^ <3″ and does like the happy-shift thing. it’s honestly too cute for it to be just pixels.

probably knows a lot about minecraft stuff too, it’s just that he never uses any of it.

—ranmaru:

he was so excited the first time you told him that he was invited to the smp of sengoku warlords! would probably frequent the most.

i think he’d just vibe really. not exactly going extremely into pve or pvp or redstone or building, he plays it at a very slow place and more like an animal crossing player would.

like, he builds a small farm and stuff. it isn’t as efficient as mitsunari’s, but it is what it is. also has an animal pen with loads of one animal category and he tends to let people use it with the exclusion of some (coughs masamune) as long as they breed them again or something.

and while he doesn’t go for the big projects, he is kind of a builder? he has the Aesthetic sense while building his house and stuff yk. would maybe lean into the cute, cottagecore stuff.

favorite food in game is probably cake! it takes more effort than most other foods and it just looks cute so he likes making them.

totally has shaders on.

is scared shitless of cave noises at times. you could play 11 near him and he’d just straight up panic and log off.

‎

uesugi-takeda forces:

—shingen:

i find him to be maybe one of those builders that stick to large projects and stuff idk why

he does other things too, mainly pvp (he likes to just head over to nobunaga’s base and kill him sometimes. not that the man doesn’t accept the challenge). would probably also be more into 1.9 pvp because he’s a very calculative person in fighting. yes even in block game.

but the first thing he built once he’s set from collecting materials, was a “restaurant”. for what, you ask? why of course he takes you on a minecraft date. that was the top of his list the moment you even told him about the smp

once the others found out (which was not that long) he just started bragging. kenshin burnt down the building later on.

but he always escorts mc or some shit while spewing out his Lines in chat, sometimes doing the bow in game thing. in response, there are several barfs in chat, and a list of people coming to kill him.

mf likes to combat log on kenshin when he’s on a Killing Spree for the shits and giggles.

—kenshin:

first time you told him about it, he was very happy to learn something about mc’s modern times, even if it’s a children’s game. unfortunately, he didn’t know what an ‘smp’ meant.

so when he logged on and saw that there were Other people, his smile turned into a deadly frown as he just began punching them to death. he only stopped when they ran off and you intervened.

he tried having you stick around longer when you were giving him a tutorial of how to play the game.

at first he only collected material to get stronger. and by that only sword because he sees no need in getting armor (he doesn’t die in battle irl, he can’t die in a simple game). but WRONG cause he got killed by shingen who, even though he had a stone axe, had iron armor while kenshin got nothing but an iron sword.

he doesn’t make a base (why do so many here don’t make bases istg). in fact, he doesn’t log on much.

at first, he only goes on if mc is on. it’s only when he sees that mc appreciates some of the work the others have put into things (like shingen’s builds, mitsunari’s redstone, etc.) is when kenshin tries to Do Things Too and kinda fail.

this man kinda has no aesthetic sense in the block game. but you give him a for effort.

1.8 pvper. he can definitely do 1.9, but more the former mostly cause his deadly anger makes him jitter click like crazy. often challenges others (consented or not) which mostly includes masamune and nobunaga, and he often surprise attacks shingen and sasuke.

—yukimura:

honestly a normal player in survival.

he makes a decent house, has some pretty strong gear, and just helps around his allies a lot (mostly {try to} drag kenshin away from trouble, scold shingen for being too close to mc {though it’s a him problem ngl} and just being a messy caretaker).

i feel like he’d enjoy tekkit tbh. sasuke would probably introduce it to him and he’d just generally enjoy it.

but this is about the smp

he got lucky the first drowned he killed dropped a trident and it’s been his favorite weapon.

probably tried at one point to build kenshin a small base but he wouldn’t listen so like. shrugs.

he’s a bit iffy with playing alongside the enemies in the same server, but they are kind of divided into two. and mc did say it was just for fun and games and they didn’t want to see actual wars be dragged into this, so he just lets it go and has fun.

he looks forward to beating the enderdragon a lot, when the end is available.

—sasuke:

oh Boy he’s having a field day. his adored sengoku warlords? playing minecraft, his childhood game??? absolute pog.

even though it was you who proposed the idea, the one who set up the server in the first place was sasuke, since he has more knowledge on that stuff.

since he got his bearings quicker than the rest from experience, and he was earlier to log on due to testing and stuff, he mostly helps you with building like the main hub, like the center place for everyone and generally things that involve helping the overall smp.

can mlg water bucket, through a lot of trial and error. he uses it mostly to make dramatic entrances where he drops from a hill and just not take damage.

^ speaking of Dramatic Entrances, he probably has a chest full of ender pearls for those specifically.

although he helps a lot with guiding everyone, at times, he pulls out the ol’ “sleep in the nether :)” suggestion just to troll

ngl he’d stick to his ninja thing and successfully make a redstone-wired door and has his banger secret base in it

—yoshimoto:

the s in smp doesn’t exist to him.

he’s just a collector, really. one of his first priority isn’t even materials like stone, the moment he finds any kind of flowers he’ll pick it up. it’s only when yukimura and sasuke actually Give him shit does he start living a not broke life.

probably dies a lot to mobs and stuff

but like legit, this man spent a long time collecting all 13 discs and almost every flower (yes, even the biome only ones) because he wants to take it all in. nevermind the fact that he can just listen to the discs online and all.

he’s immaculate in his aesthetics. even with just wood he makes his base look really cool ngl. 

some parts of it are plastered with every painting there is in minecraft, or just item frames, or flowers in their pots. every decoration you can think of, lamps, campfires, even armor stands, he has them.

you gotta give him credit, it’s a lot of effort.

he often afks just to listen to the music even though, again, he could just listen to it online.

got into a bit of a spiel with ranmaru, since he unknowingly dyed a lot of his sheep (he did categorize it with color though). and so they made an agreement to just have every color sheep, and put them in different pens. so they just shared it now

he saw the cave updates and went silently bonkers because how pretty some look (like the lush caves? hello??)

he has like. 14+ texture packs and 4 different shaders ready at his settings.

[smpetechnoblade]

Conquering the World: Day 1 - SMP Earth

Duration: An absolutely ungodly 7:40:04 what is this man doing

TDLR at the end, if you really have no time to read sorry

Our story begins in Africa; and with Technoblade immediately proclaiming his master plan world domination.

After gathering resources (diamonds, emeralds, iron, etc.), he exits pursued by Jamakattack.

He sets his course for Antarctica. As he begins his journey, he enacts his first foolproof plan to gain world dominance -- placing dibs sign on each continent he visits.

Techno then gets into VC with TommyInnit, who’s opener is literally “I've made a lot of enemies in a short period of time”. While trying to butter Techno up, he is interrupted by Junky Janker telling him to stop making enemies. Tommy says that Techno and him aren’t enemies, but Techno says that Tommy is in the middle of geopolitical conflict that Techno doesn’t want to get into by association with Tommy.

Tommy tries to explain why he has so many new enemies made within the hour, but it just makes Techno more concerned.

He finally arrives in Antarctica, makes his faction -- the great “AntarcticEmpire” -- and P1lza offers to join.

Ph1lza teleports to the newly set faction home, and the two immediately murder the incoming Jamakattack.

After death, Jam is quick to claim he simply wanted to deliver Techno some much needed steak to sustain the pig in the harsh Arctic climate -- but Techno believes Jam was far too dedicated and far too heavily armored for it to be a mere Death Stranding escapade that spanned multiple continents.

VoiceOverPete joins the VC.

The two teammates start exploring the South Pole. Underneath the mountain, they find a "stronghold". Air quotes are used here because it’s not naturally generated — it’s the ruins of an ancient civilization and is littered with paintings containing memes and strange symbols. They notice that the stronghold seems to hang above an absolutely massive cavern, and because of shaders and distance, they can’t even see the floor.

Due to popular demand, Pete gets added to the faction with one requirement: Bring one singular leather piece. This marks the start of the complete AntarcticEmpire.

Phil and Techno explore as they wait for Pete to complete his task, and they find that the cavern floor is actually layered -- much like an onion or an ogre. Except not like either of those things because it only had two layers.

They find nothing but snow and ice on either layer.    

Techno explores some more, and finds the portal room. He claims the area, and finds that there’s an Eye of Ender already in a portal frame and another in a barrel inside the room.

After discussing the recipes needed to get to the End, they realize they can’t actually ruin the moon for everyone immediately :(((

Turns out they have hella faction power, and Technoblade proceeds to claim a massive chunk of Australia

Tommyinnit enters the vc, and offers an allyship again. Techno asks about what kind of alliance it would be. Tommy decides that it would be a defensive agreement, and both Techno and Phil’s chat floods with messages not to ally with Tommy.

Many, many people then join the vc (the vc almost got full and ItsAsaii, Sneegsnag,and Antvenom were all at the base)

Tommy gets roasted. Tommy tries to justify the alliance with a scenario of AntVenom declaring war on AntarcticEmpire, and tries to say how much Techno would regret not teaming with Tommy and his “pvp prowess” when Techno asks about his credentials. Tommy claims that he’d once killed TimeDeo and TapL in duels. Techno doubts the TapL part, and it turns out that Tommy completely lied about that part.

Fit offers himself up as a guinea pig to test out how much power/land you lose when you die, and also bears sugarcane as a gift.

Tommy greets Fit, to which Fit replies “Hello, who are you”. Tommy gives an offer to Fit for an alliance, and Fit gives a hard no. Tommy tries one last time with Techno and Phil, and they also refuse. He then gives a veiled threat of a war and tells them to keep an eye peeled. Techno and Phil brush it off lightly.

Fit finally arrives at the base. He types his last words “I SACRIFICE MYSELF TO THE BLOOD GOD IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE.” Before he gets killed, Techno offers an alliance, to which Fit readily accepts.

They find out that they only lose 100 power.

MichaelMcChill travels to the base, only to die of fall damage from falling off a small ledge on the mountain.

Techno flies over to Australia to unclaim some unnecessary land ,and chat is quick to tell him that Michael has returned and is now in their base.

Michael joins the VC as he flies above their base-- asking for confirmation on the information his chat is telling him about being shot on sight

Neither Techno or Philza have actually made any such claim, the chat is being dramatic

Michael says that he’s simply there for allyship, representing the nation of Northern California

When asked what exactly is in Antarctica, since the only visible resources are the becon marking the South Pole and a single tree, Techno says that they have a “cool stronghold” but denies having an end portal.

This is also where Michael makes the infamous “Technoplane brings the Technopain” meme

Techno then begins engaging in Plane vs Man on a Mountain warfare with Michael

Techno wins, killing Michael

Michael, James (whos not online but joined the call with Michael), Techno, and Phil continue to chat as Techno tries to leave Antarctica

Techno makes it to Greenland (which he insists on calling Iceland) and finally finds an unclaimed volcano

Techno mentions that he’s running on one hour of sleep, as he was trying to slowly rotate his sleep schedule so that he went to bed later and he was going to bed at 9 am when the time that SMPearth would begin was announced. Someone help this tall child dear Lord.

Having been forced to make a small stop in Ireland, he finds some animals. He then puts into motion  his master plan — taking a chicken named Alfred from Ireland to Antarctica in a boat.

It takes so fuckin long.

Pete rejoins the VC with Techno and informs him of a tip he’s gotten

In the bottom left of the map, there is a strange symbol that was originally believed to be something akin to the compass found on real maps

However, Pete has found out that it is actually a landmark on the actual server.

Techno and Pete also make note of how similar the symbol is to some of the paintings found in their stronghold base.

While Techno is still oceanbound, he explains to Pete how to buy and fly a plane

He heads over to investigate, finding beacons marking a chest. After Techno deposits Alfred, they both head back and investigate the loot — a single broken, enchanted music disk titled Octangula (worth noting that, according to chat, this is also the name of the symbol in the ice).

They snatch the resources surrounding it (nine diamond blocks, 32 iron blocks, and 5 beacons) and head back to base

Using a jukebox, they discover the disk they collected, named “Octangula”, is a distorted version of the Garfield intro music with morse code

They then move on to looking at leads on the other end of the map

They look at the “Chien” engraved in the ice. It offers nothing, simply being a signature from the creator of the map.

Techno takes a look at the “chip was here” in the ice, and underneath the eye shaped portion of it. He claims the area, and digs in the center of a large ball of dirt, and places some signs so that water will not flow inside it. This later gets him called a bitch by IAmSp00n, who got stuck down there and had to wait for a while for Techno to let him out. He couldn’t get out because the area was claimed.

Pete drowned, while Michael and Kara were nearby. They also end up drowning trying to help get Pete’s items, and Techno finally gets their stuff back. He spends nearly the rest of the stream holding it hostage, until finally agreeing to give it partially back.

The stream ends. TL;DR: Techno makes a guild with Ph1lza and VoiceOverPete, they take over Antarctica and become popular. They find lore to the server.

Amanda 3 - Hammer

Third canon-deviant fic about Amanda Holliday and her journey to being greater, from a mini-series of four.

"This one would be pret-tyyy cool…"

The burnt-blonde Shipwright scrolls through the 'Collections' of Exotics Guardians found in their journeys, analyzing their perks as she patiently waits to be called inside the most envied library in the City.

For some seconds, her emerald eyes fall on a pair of knightly silver Gauntlets that could be what she looks for. She ‘hmm’s to herself for a second, trying on some shaders, and nods in approval.

"Amanda, let's go."

Her head moves to pay attention to the Warlock that has just arrived at her usual spot at the Bazaar, greeting her with a nod as she stows her tablet away and is transmatted into the library. She makes a mental note of the name ‘Stronghold’. Shaxx would probably appreciate her dedication to swordplay.

Other pieces like Fr0st-EE5 and Transversive Steps, which do not require Light usage, would also benefit her while she fought. Good to know, good to know. So many loopholes to be exploited.

Ikora Rey had devoted the day to silent studying and rewriting of her books, still not completely updated after the Traveler’s awakening in recent times. In order to focus better, she does most of it quietly and alone in the library, save for the Hidden that appear to report to her on occasion. Today was an exception, for she allowed the Tower’s Shipwright to keep her company under the pretension that she wanted to learn, and there was no better teacher for that than Ikora.

Ikora’s library has dim, yellow lighting and a rustic aesthetic, with bookshelves and flooring made of dark wood covered with blue and white tapestry. The overall layout of the place was circular, the center having her desk and simple chairs and couches disposed about.

"So, Amanda." Ikora begins, making herself comfortable at the table and suggesting Amanda to do the same, across from her. "What do you seek?"

Amanda quietly taps her fingertips at the table, fidgeting as she tries to formulate a good reason.

"I wanna learn how to… to fight. Like y'all Guardians do."

Ikora doesn’t turn her head, but smiles.

“Is that so?”

“Uh… yeah?”

Ikora gives a chuckle as she finishes rewriting a page.

“I think not.”

“...Why not?”

Not faltering, Ikora turns her head to face her friend as she hovers her hand above the book. “Because if you wanted to learn how to fight, you would have asked Zavala. And, if the words I received are true... you already did.”

Amanda doesn’t have an answer to that, only looking at the desk and pressing her lips together, the inquietude only building up. She observes Ikora using an emanation of Solar heat to dry the ink on the pages.

“Ikora, I… want to be a Guardian. I thought I could ask you to teach me how to think like one.”

As the Warlock turns to the book again, she turns a page and looks at a previous version of the book, also spread open on another part of the table, for reference. “Okay. And why aren’t you?”

She is caught off-guard by this question. She struggles to let out her answer, and the next sentence comes out a bit more condescending than she’d hoped.

“Because I’m not a Lightbearer?” Amanda replies as if it was something obvious.

“During the Red War, we weren’t either.” Ikora says as she starts writing once more. “And I went through the same dilemma. I was lost. I looked to the ashes emanating from the City, and vowed… never again. And since I had nowhere left to go, I found myself on Io, in search for answers. As time passes me by, I realized I was left without answers, without Light, without my team... without anything to hold on to.”

“And then?”

“A Guardian found me. One of those who had made the pilgrimage to the Shard of the Traveler and recovered their Light. They could have refused, but they didn’t. They could have quit the fight, but even if they knew they were going to die, they didn’t. And their very presence reminded me that, while the terms are, indeed, very associable to the outside observer, they are not the same.”

The Shipwright listens intently as Ikora recounts her tale. There were many angles to this. Most, she didn’t consider. Multiple viewpoints are a virtue Guardians must possess.

“It took me some introspection and some... unprecedented incidents, for me to believe that I am more than just my Light, and in being greater than the Light, protecting it and the people who live through its influence is what made me who I am. So, as long as you strive to perfect yourself, you’ll always be one."

Ikora eyes her friend without turning her head this time. Her eyes are amiable, as fierce as they looked.

"A Guardian, Lightbearer or not... is always a Guardian.”

The Warlock delivered each part of that sentence in a very light, but thorough manner, a way that Amanda didn’t even think was possible. It was a nail she still had to hammer, that Guardians are more than just their Light.

During the Red War, Amanda had argued with Zavala after the Traveler was imprisoned and the Light lost. “There are thousands of people like me stranded down there in the City", she had said; “We're all the same now, Holliday. The Light is gone.” She was too angry to realize at the time, but looking back, she realizes she had taken the Guardianship for granted.

While she still didn’t like having to obey Zavala and leave citizens to die, it was paying off, in a way. Everything they did, they did for mankind. And it was beginning to thrive again, the best they could. She could feel it, even if her mission was far from over and new threats were still bound to come.

With a deep breath, she promises to face them gladly.

"Thank you, Ikora." The Shipwright says, eliciting a smile and a deep nod from the Vanguard that was still focused on writing the page.

Amanda pulls out her sketchbook and starts drawing over a sketch of herself. But before she continues, she has an idea for the final part of the 'secret-unnamed-project'.

"Can I, ah, look around for a book?”

“Do you need help with anything?”

“Yeah, actually. Wanna know where the name ‘Leviathan’ comes from.”

Ikora pulls up her own tablet, doing a query search for the word on the archive. It narrows down to multiple editions of a religious book from the old world, called ‘Bible’. Taking a break from writing, she hovers over to a particular section of the library, taking an intricate, gold-foil crafted book, meticulously turning its pages to where the query told her. “Job 41:1–34”, it said. She floats back to Amanda, laying the open book in front of her, before going back to her own seat.

She devours the verses, at first barely making heads or tails of what was on the pages. 'Why'd people back in the day write so weird?' She thought to herself. But eventually she managed to understand what it was about, and suddenly the name of Calus' ship made much more sense.

"Did you gather something new, my friend?"

Amanda recaps in her mind, making sure to try not to miss anything.

"Right, so- uh...” Amanda begins to explain her thoughts, trying not to let anything pass her by. “There was this man named Job, whose faith in this god couldn't be waived. In this part, the god is tryna teach Job how questioning a powerful being is futile by presenting him beasts so powerful that only he can control, one a them being a sea monster called, you guessed it, the Leviathan."

"How awfully appropriate."

"Yep. Apparently there were two beasts, a sea one, and a... land one."

Realization came into Amanda's mind as a name for her project finally snuck through her hands and into the paper.

"Reminds me of the World Serpent..." She adds nonchalantly, having doing some reading on the Edda in her free time back at Hiver’s place.

Ikora finally perks up from her book, stretching her writing hand. "You've been doing some homework."

"Hard not to, when you date a Warlock."

"And you are going to tell them about this… when?"

The one question Amanda dreaded, and it shows. Her 'Lightless Guardian' idea was nothing short of life-threatening, it's amazing she's got this far without being stopped.

Amanda had survived her whole life on the road, fighting off Fallen and hiding with hers and other families, but she would never, ever get rid of the pain of losing them. She survived and is happier than she's ever been, even if it's not a perfect life. Now, she was Hiver's family, and cannot bear the image of her lover having to go through the same — because of her own incompetence, nonetheless.

There was no telling how Hiver would react, the woman is already being a pile of anxieties, but of one thing she was sure.

It wouldn't be pretty.

“I don’t... know.“

"I can help if you'd like. But remember that this is your responsibility — and your burden."

She nods with a nervous face and gives a deep sigh.

“I’ll think of something. Can you take me back to the Tower?”

“Yes. And Amanda?”

“Yes?”

“Congratulations on finding love. Hold on to it. It is powerful.”

As nervous as she is, she nods smiling.

“Ophiuchus?” Ikora says to no one. Her Ghost, white and red and with spiking protrusions on the back of his shell, appears in the air next to her shoulder.

“One second.” He replies, spinning.

With a flash, Amanda is back at the Tower’s bazaar. Eyeing the drawing she has just finished, she runs to the Courtyard, in search of a person who could help her make it look much better.

Trying to ignore the built-up tension, she runs.

The Awoken woman stationed at the Tower Courtyard is, as usual, cleaning up dust and reorganizing her inventory, because it’s not home yet, but it would be. Then she hears a familiar voice calling to her.

“Tess!”

“Oh! Hello, Amanda. What can I do for you today?” Tess greets the Shipwright, assuming her usual hands-behind-back posture and giving her usual, welcoming smile.

“See, I got a lil’ project o’ my own, and wanted an expert’s opinion on how ta make it look the sharpest it can.”

Amanda presents the sketchbook with her sketch to Tess, who analyzes it meticulously.

It’s a suit of armor. Titan armor, to be more precise.

“Gothic knight inspiration… baroque decor… exquisite. Practical, but carries a lot of elegance. This looks incredible. Also, you draw extraordinarily well.”

“Thank you,” The Shipwright says, blushing. “But it lacks color. What would ya say works?”

“Excuse me.“

Tess takes the notebook into what appears to be a scanner, converting Amanda’s drawing into a digital projection that can easily be colored, and bringing it to the desk where they both could see it.

“Right, in my opinion the ornaments and trim should definitely be gold.” She says, quickly selecting the decorative parts of the plates and changing their colors to a light golden color. “The style reminds me of Gjallarhorn and the old Iron Lords’ armor. Maybe we can make it a bit more orange…”

“Would black fit with it, maybe?”

She changes the main plate colors to black. Tess and Amanda look at each other in disapproval.

“How about…” Tess changes the color to a deep blue.

“Can you try dark gray?” Amanda asks, and Tess obeys. However, it still seems to not fit, and they experiment with a midpoint between blue and gray.

“What do you think?”

“I like it.”

“Me too.”

Amanda scratches her nose, taking some time to think. The girls mix and match palettes for a while until finding one that fits the armor well.

Dark gray plates with crimson details, gold ornaments, and a white, gold-trimmed mark.

“Whew… Thank you, Tess. Anything I can do to repay ya?”

“The pleasure is mine. Although if you have some Silver on you…” Tess says, smiling smugly. “Just kidding.”

“My girlfriend does. She’ll probably come by again, she wants that duster you’re selling. Says she wants to look like a cowgirl.”

Tess laughs at this, eliciting a grin from Amanda, who picks her sketchbook and transfers the colored illustration file from the Awoken vendor to her own tablet, almost walking off and ready to send it to Crux/Lomar for forging.

“Oh, Amanda.”

“Yeah?” She turns back to face Tess.

“Does it have a name?” She asks in genuine curiosity.

Amanda smiles contagiously in pride, remembering what she read from the Bible in Ikora’s library. She had the perfect name for her project, given what was going down on the System — and how she’d fight it, if need be.

“The Behemoth.”

Their Dragon Guardian

Requested by Anonymous: Could you do a version of "Dragon Rider" with Caius Volturi?

Yes I'm gonna be using Toothless as the Readers dragon.

3rd Person POV

"It is nice to see you two again." A figure said as to kids, one boy and one girl, smiled at the figure. "Well you come back again mother?" The little girl with blonde hair asked as the figure chuckled. "If the kings let me. But we must go." The figure said as their dragon stood on the railing.

"I'm sure they'll let you if you show them." The boy started only for the figure to place her finger on their lips. "Someone is coming. I must go." The figure said as they place a soft kiss on the kids forhead. "Lets go Toothless." The figure said as they jumped on the dragon and flow off.

"Jane. Alec. What are you two doing?" Felix called out as both Jane and Alec look at each other. "It nothing." Jane said as the two walked off to their shared rooms.

Time Skip

"A Dragon Rider?" Aro said as both Jane and Alec look down at their feet with Felix behind them. "She doesn't mean any harm." Alec said then someone knocked on the door. "That's only if you threaten my kids." They heard causing Jane and Alec to turn around to see their mother. "Ma?!" They said and quickly attack her with a hug.

(Y/n) chuckles as she hugs her kids back before looking at the three kings. "Who are you?" The blond king asked causing her to look at him. His eyes slightly widen as their eyes met. "The names (Y/n) (L/n). I'm the said Dragon rider." (Y/n) said as Jane and Alec look at Caius and their mother wondering what had happen.

Marcus smiled slightly as he gave Aro his hand showing him that Caius has found his mate. "Magnifico! May we see your Dragon?" Aro asked as he walked toward (Y/n). She narrowed her eyes slightly as she holds Jane and Alec's hands. Caius slightly tensed up as Aro took out his hand wanting to see (Y/n)'s Past. "May I see?" He asked causing (Y/n) to look at Jane and Alec confused.

"Master Aro can see your future." Jane said causing (Y/n) to nod her head. "Theirs not much to see." (Y/n) said as she lets go of there hands and gave Aro hers causing Caius to glare and growl lowly. Aro moved his hand away as he looked at Jane and Alec.

"Can you take off that Skull mask." Caius order as (Y/n) hummed forgeting she was wearing the skull with long horn still on her head. "Oh, sorry, how rude of me." (Y/n) said as she slowly took off the skull and put down the hoodie letting her (h/l) (h/c) hair show.

"Where is your Dragon?" Aro asked as he went to seat back to his throne. "He only shows up at night." (Y/n) said then the glass shaders as Toothless stood between the three kings and it's owner. Toothless growled and snarled until (Y/n) gently placed her hand on Toothless instantly started to purr.

"Or if I'm endanger." (Y/n) added with a soft chuckle as her laugh sounded like music to Caius ears. "Magnifico." Aro said as he clapped his hands. (Y/n) chuckled as she sat on her knees and started to pet Toothless causing him to fall on the floor and stick his tongue out. "He sometimes act more like a dog then a dragon." (Y/n) laughed still scratching Toothless in a playfully manor.

Jane and Alec smiled as they started to pet Toothless who seemed to enjoy it. "I would like you to join us." Aro said causing me to look at him with a frown. "You can be our guard." Caius said causing me to look at him. "Do that mean we get to see you every night?" Jane asked excitedly along with Alec as they stop petting Toothless.

Toothless eyes widen as he stares at me blankly waiting and confused. "Am I able to have sometime with Jane and Alec?" I asked as they both look at Aro. "Of course." He said causing me to nod my head. Toothless growled softly causing me to look at him. "For right now I must be going. Toothless is hungry." I said as I put back on my hoodie and skull.

"We well see you tonight yes?" Caius asked as I hop on Toothless. "Sure." I said winking at him before riding off.

Few years later

"What are you thinking about my love?" Caius asked as I felt him gently kiss my shoulder. I hummed softly as closed my eyes and leaned closer to him. "How we first mat." I said with a sigh as I opened my eyes to look out the window. "You where already so possessive over when you first saw me." I added chuckling under my breath as Caius gently places kisses on my shoulder.

"Your my mate." He said causing me to smile softly. "Its bad enough you had children with another man." He growled causing me to chuckled. "That other man was a bastard. Left me and the kids to die." I said as I turn around to look at him. "I wouldn't leave you like he did." Caius said as he peck my lips. "I would hope you won't. Or else you'll have a hard time with Jane, Alec, and Toothless trying to kill you." I said smiling at he chuckled.

Gency Destiny AU Pt. 3

Previous Chapters: 1, 2

----

McCree was snickering as he and Genji-3 both took cover behind a large iron crate as Fallen fired on them. Genji-3 always felt a little worse fighting Fallen than fighting Vex or Cabal or Hive. Vex? Evil time travelers trying to fold reality to their will. That was bad. Cabal. Conquerers. Tried to take the Traveler so they could conquer better. Obviously also bad. Hive? Well, on top of smelling of death, ammonia, and rotting crab meat, they worshipped the Darkness and were hell-bent on obliterating the Traveler and everyone it protected. That was also bad. But the Fallen? As far as Genji could tell, civilization-wise, the Fallen were only a few degrees removed from their own situation. They were chasing a Traveler they felt had abandoned them. The Fallen always made Genji a little afraid that the Traveler might leave the Guardians one day. Or maybe he just respected the Fallen a bit more because they had a shared proclivity for knives. Genji-3 glanced over at McCree, still snickering, before clearing his throat, leaning over the barrier, and dispatching a few dregs with his hand cannon.

“It’s not that funny,” muttered Genji.

“It’s a little funny,” said Echo, peeking out from McCree’s cloak.

“It really is though,” said McCree, vaulting over the barrier and laying down some cover fire at the Fallen rushing the area to grab some motes of Darkness. He tossed one of the little black and white pyramids up and down in his hand before shooting a Fallen Vandal in the head and spinning his hand cannon,  “I’m still imagining the whole scene like...the ghost is glowing, the light of the Traveler is breathing life into the lungs of someone who was dead for hundreds of years... and your first instinct is to ask her out for ramen.”

“It wasn’t my first instinct!” said Genji, chasing after him, doing his best to dodge out of the way of the enemy fire, “She was in the middle of hostile territory! She was overwhelmed! I thought... maybe she could use a friendly face.”

“That’s what we’re here for,” said Zenyatta, his plates whirring as he repaired Genji’s shielding.

“Aw, your ghost is jealous,” said McCree.

“Ghosts don’t get jealous,” said Zenyatta.

“Ehhhh....” Echo glanced off.

“I mean, I don’t blame ya, Genji,” said McCree, pivoting to face him with with a shrug, as Fallen fire blazed past him, “She’s cute--Didn’t know Awoken could be cute like that, y’know? Pretty, sure, but it’s pretty in a way that you’re always a little scared they’re going to use void magic to rip off your--”

“Enemy team’s invading!” The drifter’s voice sounded in Genji’s helmet and he snarled in frustration.

---

“I think they like you!” said Mercy’s ghost as Mercy walked out of the Vanguard’s war room.

“You think so?” said Mercy, glancing back over her shoulder, “They seemed very... serious.”

“Well we are standing in the ruins of our formerly great civilization now facing down total annihilation from multiple sides,” her ghost said matter-of-factly.

Mercy pursed her lips.

“...Cayde made them easier to talk to,” her Ghost admitted.

“Cayde?” Mercy repeated.

“Cayde-6. He was the Hunter vanguard. He died a few months ago,” 

“The menu in the Ramen restaurant mentioned him!” said Mercy, a little excited to be able to put her observations together with what she was seeing, her smile faded, “He died?”

“Well Guardians can die--Just because I brought you back from being dead doesn’t mean you can’t die,” said her ghost.

“As you’ve mentioned,” said Mercy. She stopped at the guard railing overlooking the last city and the Traveler. “I don’t know if I’m ready for this,” she said, folding her arms across herself.

“Of course you’re not! That’s what you got me for!” said her ghost, nudging into her shoulder.

Mercy smiled, “My ghost,” she said, and then her smile shrank a little, “That’s a little morbid, don’t you think? Calling you ‘ghost?’”

“Well you die over and over again--well hopefully you won’t die too much--but I’m the part of you that keeps you around! I’m a Ghost! It’s not morbid, it’s what I am!” 

“I suppose that’s fair but--You don’t want a name?” Mercy tilted her head.

“A name?” the ghost’s plates whirred thoughtfully, “I’ve never had a name before. Pulled Pork got a name and he didn’t even have a guardian.”

“I won’t call you Pulled Pork,” said Mercy.

“Lots of ghosts of really great guardians have names! Ikora has Ophiuchus , Marcus Ren had Didi, Nnekchi-32 has Agu---”

“Genji has Zenyatta!” Mercy suggested.

The ghost made an eye-rolling movement with its plates, “Genji-3 is no Nnekchi-32.”

“I kind of like him,” said Mercy.

“Well yeah, he’s the first guardian you met. You’re going to meet all sorts of guardians in our adventures! We’ll need to think up a very good name so we make a good impression. It’s going to be very hard. It could take very long--It took me centuries to find you, it could take forever to find a name that--”

“What about Engel?” said Mercy.

“I like Engel!” said the ghost.

----

“I blame you, by the way,” said McCree over the comms, as they both flew their ships away from the Emerald coast and toward the lost city.

“You spend the entire match goofing off and teasing me and you blame me for when we lose?” said Genji.

“I was doing my job! I can multitask!” said McCree, “You were a million miles away. You expect every opponent that comes up to you to be as slow and dumb as Cabal. You’ve been out of the Crucible too long.”

“Patrols are important!” said Genji.

“It’s all stragglers out there. If we wanna defend the city, we need to get better--not plateau off moping in no-man’s land.”

“I wasn’t moping,” Genji muttered. He glanced off. “Her past is already disappearing.”

“Come again?” said McCree over the comms.

“The awoken?” Zenyatta glanced at Genji.

“I know Guardians aren’t supposed to get caught up in their pasts but... doesn’t it make you sad, sometimes? Don’t you wonder who you were before your Ghost brought you back?”

“I assume I was just a bigger, less competent idiot than I am now,” said McCree, a shrug in his voice, “I know it was Vex that got me. Don’t like thinking about that part too much. You’re gonna bring up your brother again--”

“It’s the one thing that’s stuck with me through three reboots,” said Genji, “What if it’s important? And why is it always I always find myself drawn back towards Mars? I mean, Bray and Rasputin have it more or less covered over there...” Genji paused, “What if I knew her before we both--”

“Bray?”

“No, Mercy,” said Genji.

“What, you think she’s your pre-Collapse soul mate or something?” said McCree.

“I don’t know. For all I know I could have known you before we both died. But... it’s a lot easier to have someone help you out when you’re revived. Zen, can you hail her?” 

“Give me a moment,” said Zenyatta, scanning Genji’s comm. 

---

“...And this shader is called ‘Watermelon!’” said Engel.

“Definitely not,” said Mercy, looking at the hologram of herself in a garish iridescent pink and green version of her current outfit, still leaning against the guard railing with the Traveler behind her.

Engel’s eye suddenly flashed green. “Oh! Incoming message! Guardian Genji-3 would like you to join his fire team over in the EDZ!”

“Oh! Say yes!” said Mercy. “Wait--I don’t have a gun--I should probably get one--”

“You have one!” said Engel, materializing a sidearm in her hand, “This is golden age tech, but I was still able to rematerialize it when I revived you! It was on your person when you died! It’s called ‘The caduceus.’”

“The caduceus?” Mercy repeated before extending her arm and looking down the sights of it, trying to see if it sparked a memory, “The name sounds familiar and yet...”

“Of course there’s a strict ‘no-firing’ rule here on the tower. I mean some people practice at Banshee-44′s firing range, but that’s more for getting used to different guns and most just go to the Crucible if they need practice.”

“I’m sure it’s fine,” said Mercy, tilting the gun with her arm still extended as she looked over it, “I don’t even know how to turn the safety of--”

The gun went off and the surprise of the shot sent Mercy flailing over the guard railing. She was falling down, down, down the length of the tower.

“Try to glide!” her ghost shouted after her as she screamed and fell.

“WHAT!?” was the last thing Mercy yelled up before her ghost winced and looked away at the sound of a wet thud on cement.

“Oh boy,” said the ghost, whirring its plates and glowing. After a few seconds Mercy rematerialized, perfectly fine, next to her ghost. She exhaled a half shriek and slapped her hands over what was previously her broken body, trying to make sense of no-longer shattered ribs and leg bones.

 “What--what just--I just died! I was dead!” her voice was half hysterical.

“To quote Cayde-6, you just popped your guardian cherry!” said her ghost, delighted.

“I--what..?” said Mercy, looking at her ghost.

“That’s what Cayde would say. It means you did die. I don’t know what popping cherries means. It’s kind of funny that it was here and not out on a battlefield though. But anyways you’re better now. Shall we go to the EDZ?”

Mercy’s breath was shuddering. “Oh... okay.”

“Any response?” asked Genji as they flew.

“I was confused for a moment--,” said Zenyatta, “It would seem Mercy’s ghost is now designating itself as ‘Engel.’”

“She named it?” Genji’s face lit up.

“Engel says Mercy died but, quote, ‘Is okay now.’”

“She what?” said Genji.

“She died at the tower!?” McCree was audibly cracking up over the comms, “I thought you said she was a warlock!” 

“But Engel is still confirming a meeting place at Devrim’s church in the EDZ,” said Zenyatta.

“Oh... okay then,” said Genji.

“Gotta say, really loving your fireteam picks, Genji,” said McCree.

“Ship time! Ship time! Ship time!” Engel was bouncing excitedly as she walked, still shellshocked, over to the landing platforms to meet up with Genji.

“I died,” Mercy said hollowly as she walked.

“Yep!”

“I died twice,” said Mercy, eyes still wide.

“And I brought you back twice!” said Engel.

“I’m going to die again,” said Mercy.

“Probably! Then I’ll bring you back again!” said Engel.

Mercy looked at her ghost with some horror in her eyes.

“We’re a teeeaam,” Engel whispered loudly, zooming close to her face.
