Finally after procrastinating for way too long I’m going to share my headcanons about the ancient Humans in the minecraft world - Aka The Ancient Builders!

Ok let’s get this out the way first - from now on, when I say ‘humans’, I mean the folk who are typically referred to as ‘the ancient builders’ by theorists. The elusive ancient people who built all the majority of the strange abandoned structures in the Overworld and Nether, can live and die once and that’s it, and are just normal Homo sapiens - and most importantly, are, excluding Players, extinct. I’ll also refer to them as ‘ABs’. When I say ‘players’ I mean the genetically altered humans that have more than one life, heightened strength durability and adaptability and are what you play as in Minecraft.

First off, in this post I will talk about Humans (ABs) - and in a second follow up post, I’ll talk about Players (Steve and Alex as my examples).

Originally, 2 major hominids ruled the similarly earth-sized temperate high oxygen planet which is known as The Overworld. There was Homo Testificate, whom what we now know as Villagers and Illagers, but during those times were one group and kind of did their own thing and Homo sapiens which are humans. Humans were by far the most technologically advanced civilization at the time, and had conquered all corners of the globe. They had harnessed the fantastical power of magic, and had a plethora of rich cultures and languages - the most common language being the ancestral language for CEL (Common Enchanting Language). A golden era of innovation and exploration had begun as the humans had discovered other alien dimensions existed - potentially thousands - hosting a plethora of bizarre environments, beings (potentially sapient ones) and most importantly, riches and resources.

The first dimension the humans discovered was The Nether. This fiery chasm had similar laws of physics and a vaguely similar physical makeup to the Overworld, however it was extremely humid and hot as an oven, it’s oceans not of water but molten rock and it’s lakes not of liquid but of gaseous water vapour which only became liquid in the coldest regions of the endless chasm or boiling in pockets underneath geysers.

The Nether was a natural sister dimension to The Overworld. Imagine the Overworld as a tree and the Nether a branch.

Millions of years prior to humans, natural portals formed in extremely rare circumstances where a hard, igneous rock meets a sudden and extreme heat - a common instance of these portals were wildfires occurring in geologically active areas. Due to these natural portals, Overworld life seeped into the Nether, however Nether beings rarely lasted long in the Overworld due to the lack of heat. The most adaptable Overworld beings survived within the alien realm - Fungi and hardy omnivorous creatures such as small pigs and insects. However, the animals were far trumped by the more formidable native beings of the realm (Ghasts, striders, various other Nether alien animals). Fungi passed with flying colours due to the humid and dark environment, feeding off of the foracious cycle of life and death within the Nether and fitting into it’s ecosystem with relative ease.

Originally, a few of these portals natural portals were discovered, documented and explored by humans. Very few of these humans brave enough to enter came back alive (understandably) but those who did return (and soon died of permanent lung problems and 3rd degree burns) told tales of a land of no sun, crimson porous rock, warped beasts and unbearable heat. A land of blood, sweat and tears. Not exactly someone’s #1 holiday destination. However, there was also great amounts of gold and other resources, which enticed the extradimensional pioneers. Souls were already a pre established ecological basis in the Overworld - and a key feature in magic, if not the entire fuel for it - but the Nether was ample with souls, it’s entire web of ecosystems based entirely off of them so much there were literal entire valleys that functioned as soul sinks where souls would condense and infuse with the soil.

And so, slowly but surely, humans dipped their toes into the alien inferno, and reaped the benefits. If they weren’t already powerful, they certainly were now. Potion brewing, extradimensional travel (and as a result, teleportation) and various other branches of magic were extensively studied due to the new knowledge given by the Nether, and many colonies within the dimension were established.

Anyway, this sounds all well and good except it absolutely wasn’t. For one, the nether was preoccupied. There was an entire species of sentient being - the Piglin - who had previously been relatively content and undisturbed until a bunch of freaky monkey aliens came and took all their shit and started obsessing over a bunch of wailing sand. Secondly, countless amounts of humans died or otherwise suffered permanent health problems because of the lack of knowledge of what the Nether and condensed souls do to their bodies, especially in those first few years of exploration. Crimson and warped spores will ruin your lungs, radiation poisoning isn’t particularly good for you and the alien life - particularly ghasts - weren’t quite so docile and meek like the cows, chickens and sheep of the Overworld.

Things were understandably tense between Piglin and Humankind. The Piglin weren’t just going to let the humans mine up all the gold and (then far more common and purer) netherite and tear apart their land willy nilly and the humans wanted some of that Sweet Sweet Soul Stuff and also nearly indestructible material such as Netherite would be a bonus. Threats of a war between the two groups were on the horizon and so the humans forged fearsome golems known as Blaze who guarded their colonies. The Piglin fortified their then intact bastions for war, designing them in a way knowing the humans were weak and inexperienced with the dangers of the nether compared to them.

However, in the end, it was too late for a war.

MEANWHILE - Another dimension had been discovered by researchers - The End. This place was far more elusive and bizarre. It was a land of eternal darkness and void - timeless, sunless and it’s floating landmasses seperated not by waters but by empty, infinite void. This land was inhabited by the strange Endermen. These Enderfolk were a hive mind, connected in a web of consciousness known as the Chorus which I have talked about before (just look it up on my acc it’s one of my most popular posts). The humans were intimidated by these creatures hyperintelligence (despite the Endermen not being outwardly aggressive) and while already being paranoid about their other extradimensional neighbours, they constructed a gigantic mechanical entity to oppress the Endermen’s Chorus, figuratively cutting out their tongues and stopping them from further evolution or progression. This entity is known as The Dragon. However, the end had no resources. It was an empty expanse of nothingness, and eventually was abandoned by the humans. The Dragon also went rogue, it’s programming malfunctioning and sending it into an infinite loop - No one comes in, no one comes out. It was the eternal guardian and not even its creators could stop it. Endermen who had travelled outside of their realm out of curiosity were now permanently shut out and partially severed from their sacred hive mind. This traumatic and abrupt schism of the dimensions sent ripples through generations of Endermen.

However, all things must come to an End (get it) and the humans soon stumbled upon their final comeuppance.

in the Overworld, a strange disease was emerging - not in the living, but among the dead. Humans who had died and had intact bodies had been suddenly reanimated, and were beginning to wreak havoc among the people as the disease spread. This bizarre pathogen was the Zombie virus, and was spread through saliva, blood, or other bodily fluids. Soon the disease overwhelmed the Overworld’s human inhabitants, and they fled to the Nether. However, due to the soul experiments, another disease had emerged - this time, artificial. Withering. People were withering - their bodies quite literally falling apart at the seams. The end was off bounds by their own doing - The Dragon was performing it’s purpose too well - No one comes in and no one comes out - And so, the survivors soon realized there was no other choice but to descend to the depths of the Overworld beneath the deepslate.

And that brings us to the Ancient cities, where the sculk super-organism resides. The tiny amount of survivors, in an act of desperation, descended to the caverns to create an environment devoid of the viruses that plundered them. There, they discovered a strange being - not plant, not animal and not fungi. It fed on souls - a trait thought unique to Nether beings - and reacted to sound. This being’s relationship with souls was a subject of study, however, the sculk had a strange psychological reaction with the humans. The humans began to study it to the point of worshipping it. Over generations they developed a religion around the organism, sacrificing mobs and humans to the sculk’s jaws - of which were The Warden. They lived in silence, speaking in a language of hand gestures and expressions, and walking barefoot on carpeted floors. It was basically kind of like the film A Quiet Place. However, disaster struck one again. Some kind of fatal error - or perhaps willing mass suicide - caused the entirety of the ancient city to be killed and consumed by the sculk, causing it to spread and eat away at the structure over time as it fed on the plethora of corpses strewn about by Wardens.

And that was the downfall of the Ancient Builders. However, seeing that the fate of their people had been sealed, a small sect of soul researchers stored some human souls to be reanimated years and years after they inevitably perished, modifying the soul to be able to die and come back once again through the power of experience, like a living totem of undying. Two of these human souls were constructed, originally taken from two deceased individuals called Alex and Steve, and would eventually grow into 2 completely new human beings with the same names. They would spawn fully grown, with no memories other than concepts of what certain things are (such as what a tree is) and their own names. They will not know what they are, they will not know where they are and they will not know where others of their kind are.

Those recycled souls were the New Spawn - Players.

I will go into players in a part 2!

RoW Theories and Things I Want to See

with RoW literally a few weeks away, here’s some theories your way.

this is Really long. like, really very long; mind you.

Nikolai might become a disabled character.

It’s just the vibes. If we can take reference from the Too Clever Fox story, there’s a line that says “...and his [Koja’s] fur never quite sat right the same...”, which might hint at it (mostly bc i don’t want him to die). Also if this is indeed possible, it can be used to address ableism if it exists in this universe, especially since Nikolai is someone in the highest position of power.

Zoya will experiment the shit out of powers.

Idk why the synopsis says that using her powers might be a great deal, which tbf will be because she is truly the most most powerful atm; but Zoya wouldn’t mind taking the step outside of the old norms and bend the orders until they serve their purpose. That’s the entire goal rly.

But all along, she will consciously keep herself mindful to not hunger or discharge her power in a way that may cause harm. She knows the tyranny of the Darkling and the ways he employed. She knows better.

More character depth to Zoya.

Given the excerpts, the book does seem to explore Zoya’s infinite grief. And of course her Suli heritage, which a great part of the fandom consistently wants to shadow what with the talk “white features/ part Ravkan” bs.

But there’s more. I hope RoW will show Zoya’s dilemma (that was alr hinted in KoS) she has with the power she holds, the responsibility she has with having that power + using it in the way that will not be detrimental to her and the country. It will be a great way to portray her self-awareness and doubt and insecurity. She is a good leader, that much is told in text but not shown. There’s character development from the end of R&R until KoS that makes her evolve from a what she was then to the capable and mature 22 year old she is in KoS.

Of course all of their capabilities will come to light in RoW but I think Zoya and the agency to her as a character will play an integral part. More so because Zoya is to be the conduit to reversing the current Grisha orders, which runs in parallel with the fact that she needs to go back, go back to the roots of her Grisha knowledge and roots of her i.e. her unending grief and trauma.

She will need to forgive herself while also dealing with the guilt and anger she may have caused due to her position and power. All of this while dealing with her own complex and contrasting emotions due to her own trauma.

Nikolai is held for treason.

The word of allying with The Darkling may be out and that is enough reason for the entire country to turn against him. The secret about the monster causes issues more than enough already, and this will plunge the country into deep political turmoil and threats to security. So RoW will be more politically driven. That said...

There’s no overt war.

By this I mean that there will not be war on the battlefield, both armies or more charging at each others’ enemies and such. Ravka cannot afford one either. The excerpts have already proved that. There will be skirmishes akin to a war scenario, but a complete battle like the last battle in R&R? Like a final battle? That’s not going to be there, I think… What I’m assuming might happen is that the Fjerda and Ravka will take a possible Cold War route, if it isn’t already the case they’re already dealing with atm.

Ravka’s monarchy will collapse.

It may become a democracy or any other form of public or majority vote. But the monarchy (as well a possible dictatorship, esp with the Darkling returned) will be eliminated. ...Or so I hope, since it has been alluded to in KoS.

But that poses many problems. With no one line for the throne, let alone with a crime so dark like a blot on Nikolai’s skill (of taking the Darkling’s help), it is possible that Ravka will shun it, right alongside being torn about it because Nikolai has been, for the best of his ability, a good King. All of this in line with the Resistance rising in West Ravka.

This ties in with the court matters, especially if I want to hold the further points I make true. The resolution to acquit Nikolai of his charges requires a testification forth a jury which will then make a decision about his motives and future.

Zoya as the Interim Head.

After all of this, Zoya’s point about Ravka not accepting a Grisha Queen will be true after all, because there will be no monarchy to welcome such an arrangement.

But Ravka will need a good and trustworthy leader despite Grisha powers and Zoya is the best person to take care of that. The comment “...becoming a steady leader...” and the “Welcome home, Commander,” were there in KoS for a reason (and this is what I think it will link to).

That being said, there’s more nuance to this than my summary. Zoya is a character of colour. That—in addition to the already existing threats, objections and possible question of capability in the position—ill play into how she will be able to discharge her responsibility. It’s not going to be convenient.

EDIT: taken from a reblog/addition to the og post:

A smoother/more structured transition

Once after the monarchy collapses and a leader must be chosen, it will not be Nikolai. Nor will it be Zoya, though she might serve as an interim head. What I assume might be possible is that someone older is chosen, someone older and loyal and with the proof of knowledge and service to the country. Possibly by majority vote or elected by a council.

Instead of the sudden change, this can be a smoother (if that can even be said about such a major political scenario change) or more structured. I also say this because a. if Nikolai is indeed charged (and later acquitted), firstly his political career will already hold a blot if the word about using the Darkling as a resource is out and secondly, he’s way too young to serve as the leader (by modern standards, sure, but like, the required age will be set while drafting the constitution? currently its 35+).

Instead, the current cast can become representatives (which Zoya would already be, (mostly the head of the) international committee that safeguards the Grisha all over the world) and the Triumvirate will be dissolved. (it should be, tbh)

And hey, b. after all of this, they can and kind of need to take a step back. Nikolai and Zoya will be able to truly explore their relationship, given how Nikolai mentions how he wouldn’t marry unless he’d have had the chance to court someone and marry someone he barely knows nor knows him. For Zoya’s part, she does know Nikolai but surely probably not the extent of openness that a healthy relationship has, and on Nikolai’s part, he admits he barely knows her beyond as a General except for just little things about her.

They could be able to realize and work on their feelings while alongside being involved with the workings of the country and the constitution.

“One day you will overstep and I will not be so forgiving.”

Need I say more? Something that Zoya does will cost her Nikolai’s goodwill and we know Zoya knows her practicality and the extent to which she will unapologetically move if there is threat to the country and its King. She will do what was right and required.

A major part of that line ties in with Magnus Opjer and I think with the confidence in the versatility of her powers, Zoya might as well move w/o any word to the Triumvirate to eliminate the most direct threat to the throne. This will bring splits in Nikolai and Zoya’s relationship.

How this tension between them will be resolved without compromising either of their values, without playing into fandom stereotypes and others must be carefully handled. All of this while showing the best of their dynamicity, practicality and priority as they carefully pull out just those weak sticks of the jenga without putting the whole country into trouble. And with a war in plain sight, they’d know better than pointlessly argue and would rather see how the two of them are wrong. This ordeal will bring out just how condensed power is in the current scenario, imo.

Importance on the way women have shaped history.

Something that KoS has already set precedence for. Zoya being a PoC, Nina taking into account of the sufferings of women she comes across and the consistent ‘Who will remember them?’ will be elaborated on further. As for how it is done and how well it is done, that remains to be seen.

Baghra is alive but maybe not thriving bc she’s stuck in the Ice Court.

They entered a chamber where an old woman sat with her hands chained, flanked by guards. Her eyes were vacant. As each prisoner approached, the woman gripped his or her wrist.

A human amplifier. [...] But the Fjerdans used them for a different purpose – to make sure no Grisha breached their walls without being identified.

Kaz watched Nina approach. He could see her trembling as she held out her arm. The woman clamped her fingers around Nina’s wrist. Her eyelids stuttered briefly. Then she dropped Nina’s hand and waved her along.

Had she known and not cared? Or had the paraffin they’d used to encase Nina’s forearms worked?

- Chapter 22. Kaz; Part 4: Trick to Falling, Six of Crows.

Nina will be the one to free her and together they might wage a war from Djerholm together.

This gets even more interesting because we know the anguish and scorn that Baghra feels for her son at the same time; she understands the wrongness that he used to seek and will continue to. Zoya does take Baghra’s name at the Fold when she mourns and rages over how people forget the destruction and most importantly, forget the women. Baghra could be the symbol of the stag as the art piece depicts, or will be shown with relation to the Darkling’s powers.

As for how she will play into the story, perhaps she will be the one to help reverse and find the roots of the orders, in the sense that changes the perception of the Grisha powers for the Grisha as well as the common folk of Ravka. She is the only other person other than Juris and the Darkling to have the age of eras together, knowing Ilya Morozova, and she will be instrumental in giving Ravka an advantage over Fjerda. Either that or she will help in scrubbing the prejudices of Fjerda slowly away with whatever powers she has left. Or both.

Alina will reappear, but will not contribute to the plot significantly.

Zoya understands that the truth she knows about the Darkling is very minimal not enough to end him for once and for all. It makes sense that she will probably consult Alina for it. So, Malina appearance, possibly at the orphanage. Alina will not directly contribute to this war, but she will play a critical role in defeating the Darkling.

Besides, Alina —and Baghra— are the only ones who know that there has only ever been two Darklings. Zoya did sense, multiple times during KoS, that the Darkling is damn old. Yuri mentions it. And while it is not outright specified, the fact that Zoya thinks that she realizes just how ancient Lizabetha is in context of meeting the Darkling is enough proof for her to seek more information about the age and the older skill of the Darkling.

And I think it goes without saying that I want to hope that the Darkling and Alina will not meet. Pls, she’s had enough.

Lada is the lost, other friend that Zoya refuses to bury.

“She saw her mentor die and her worst enemy resurrected, and she refuses to bury another friend.”

Liliyana is dead, we know. But there’s no other mention of Lada except for the “wondering what happened to the pug faced girl.” Lada is possibly a part of the group of women and a Grisha returning to Ravka from Fjerda, exploited by the parem. She might die being unable to withhold the sheer torment of the parem induction, which will devastate Zoya because Lada was also the closest she’s had to a family with Liliyana.

Either that or Lada is already dead or dies some other way, and Zoya cannot bring herself bear the grief of losing her.

Cameos: Inej and Jesper.

The most likely of the crows to appear in RoW are Inej and Jesper and they’ll play equally important roles in the plotline. Here’s a breakdown of why:

Inej

Inej has taken the responsibility of becoming a slave hunter, and it makes sense for Inej to make an appearance in the book, given that there’s going to be a ship taking the Grisha from Fjerda to Ravka.

The women aboard are vulnerable and require immediate attention, which Inej will immediately zero in on. She will have enough reason to suspect both Leoni and Adrik on the ship, especially when the jurda parem is still a secret. Leoni and Adrik cannot give that information away because they don’t trust Inej (and have no reason to either). Inej won’t trust them either, not until she understands that the reason why the women are being taken to Ravka and for what reasons.

Which gives her excellent reason to step in, try to analyze the situation and help the women accordingly.

Here’s an exciting thought though. Once after the entire misunderstanding is overcome and Inej understands (esp. if Nina is brought into the conversation and security and secrecy of the conversation is ensured), there may be discussion about how the Grisha might find a safer space in Ravka.

Inej’s appearance might also extend to playing a pivotal role in giving Zoya the confidence to seek her heritage and where she hails from, to embrace the part of her past and forgive herself and others for her mistakes.

ALSO,

Grisha finding a safer space in Ravka will mean that Inej can pitch Jesper’s case for him to Zoya. Being the highest authority who takes cares of the responsibilities of the Grisha, Zoya will be the best person to talk about this with.

And so, here comes Jesper.

Jesper

For one, I wish Jesper and Leoni interact, talk and just bond like the iconic siblings they would be. <3 But more than that, Jesper plays very integral to the plot for more reasons.

Jesper’s arc will parallel Zoya’s. Both of them are new to their powers in their own individual sense; Zoya is trying to use her new powers in a way that hasn’t been done before, thereby breaking the Grisha orders of powers and Jesper (assuming he has decided that he might want to learn and embrace his Grisha powers) is learning them afresh.

This journey of them trying to embrace, learn and relearn and reject older norms and experiment really work in tandem.

That will lead us to a further (plot) theories.

Ties with Novyi Zem

As of the KoS end, Ravka has no support from anyone atm. Sure the Kerch will provide funds but Ravka has no real allies. Here’s where Novyi Zem and Jesper come in.

We know Novyi Zem is a new country and also that it is the second safest country for the Grisha in the universe. As of KoS, their agreements are not renewed and they would be since between Kerch and Novyi Zem, Ravka was forced to pick Kerch. Yet Ravka needs their help in acquiring jurda for the antidote.

So here’s the deal: Ravka will get their jurda but at many conditions that the Novyi Zem will impose on Ravka to not let exploitation get in the way.

The conditions imposed could be (these are just some at the top of my head but I hope there are more to ensure the safety and security of the Zemeni, in Novyi Zem and in Ravka too) :

Naval support from Ravka

We know of the Zemeni ships and ofc Nikolai has been hard at work trying to develop plans to use the sea to its fullest advantage. While the news of the izmars’ya isn’t public, Zemeni can place a condition for technical aid from Ravka since Ravka does have the technical knowledge it can dispatch as a condition.

A Grisha School in Novyi Zem

Think about it. Ravka, despite being the safest place for the Grisha, still isn’t entirely safe. Not all Grisha become soldiers in Ravka, they have a choice to abstain but those who are training are still recruited a honed for purpose alike preparing for war, especially the teens and preteens from the time of the Civil War. The training does take a lot of time. Ravka intends to make a home first and then service, but at the moment, while the Grisha are provided safety, it’s not assured in the best sense. Both the facts about a home and service are in precarious positions atm.

TL;DR: Ravka isn’t entirely safe for Grisha therefore the Grisha themselves too are not + Ravka is war torn.

So what happens?

One of the conditions as the next best country that serves as home to the Grisha, Novyi Zem may put forth the prospect of building a Little Palace like institution for the Grisha in Novyi Zem. It sounds morally wrong in the sense that the Grisha there will also be trained for war, but the war will end and soon, the Grisha will not be subject to serve for something but engage in economic activities as anybody else with the progression of time.

All of this won’t happen immediately either; learning their powers, honing it in the way that is unocnventional from what it had been pre-RoW and that transition + the building of the establishment in Novyi Zem and laying foundation for the transnational panel or committee for Grisha that Zoya talks about will all take so much time.

A few Grisha representatives from Novyi Zem can learn at the Little Palace and by the time the construction of the institution is done in Novyi Zem, these Grisha, along with other willing Grisha who either want to return to the country they were born in (like Leoni) or are offered to teach in a different country can do so too.

There will be stricter terms so as to not ensure exploitation and possible colonization in these nations.

Zoya mentions in one of her chapters that eventually there will be a need for the a transnational panel or committee for Grisha. Jesper can Zoya can make it possible, adding in other countries to the panel slowly as the war recedes.

Kaz and Wylan?

Least likely to make an appearance, in my opinion. I think they’ll be mentioned plenty of times or brought up once and given great importance for how they can help in the side plot.

Shu Support:

This is more a hope than an actually theory dfbkdhjadfh but Makhi might have to step down from the throne because Ehri will take the place; either as a Queen (no...) or she might oversee the process of strengthening Shu Han and finding a leader (if she doesn’t want to become one herself).

Ehri is capable, more than capable despite the little we know of her from the last chapter in KoS. All I hope is for an understanding and friendship between Nikolai and Ehri (and the subsequent cancelling of the marriage duH) for this to happen. She has little interest in statecraft but with the time she might spend with Nikolai, she might change her views. Even if not then she still gets the happy ending she deserves with Mayu (which is canon at this point rly).

Emotional Development or Breakdowns

Okay but I really, really, really hope we get to see all the three protagonists lose their shit and deal with their trauma, seek help or trying to stop isolating themselves or anything else they do to cope? Nina, Zoya and Nikolai, all of them cry, all of them get to completely lose it, let themselves be human and healthily cope and learn to rely on the people they trust the most. Like the sheer power and potential to show the myriad of ways to deal with grief, sadness, stress and more and make use of the trio’s backgrounds to show healthy and diverse ways of helping themselves, by letting themselves and others help them is just *combusts* Incredible!

That being said, can I also ask for moments of fear and desolation from the side characters too? Impending war isn’t small business, it will take its toll on people, and all these reactions just cement their fears and what they value the most so. pls. Humanizing them rly.

The Saving Each Other

As much as I mostly kinda hate this trope, there are traces in the KoS that Zoya might be the one to end Nikolai’s affliction. On the other hand, there is talk of Nikolai helping Zoya control her powers which seems counterintuitive when you consider that Zoya knows that there is a line that she must never cross and that she is very, very careful about it and will continue to be.

They can instead be the ones who motivate each other in times of distress as they always do (as shown with how Nikolai tries to gain control over his monster during the burning thorn ritual in KoS, allowing himself the vulnerability but also knowing that giving up will be unforgivable to both himself and Zoya as well) but I seriously do not wish for each other to be the ones directly ending one another's misery. Or perhaps this is just a fear imo that Leigh wouldn’t even take the route of (in which case, thank fuck).

Stab Stab Stab

Zoya gets the chance to kill the Darkling with the rest of her friends. After all, Darkling does call them all his old friends. Just Julius Caeser him all the way and put a bow tie on the book. *chef’s kiss* Everybody deserves a second chance... at ending a tyrant when it fails the first time.

So far, this is it. Rule of Wolves is in less than a few weeks and im- asdfghjkl. not Ready. i’m more Worried than Ready.

An Egg-ceptional Introduction

Some days after Oleander left the Ender Dragon's Egg in the Wayhouse.

On a routine trip past the Wayhouse, Faeden hears a voice greet her, and decides to stay and make a new friend.

Brook Khidpuh - Faeden cosmosOgler - Ender Dragon’s Egg (Eg)

---

Brook Khidpuh Faeden jerkily stumbled out of the Nether portal. It didn't matter how many times she went through it, she would always be afraid to make that mad dash over the bridge spanning across the river of magma. There were skeletons that lurked on it, threatening to shoot her into the lava below, and sometimes, those terrible, terrible floating ghosts that had lost themselves would float overhead and let out their pitiful cries, only to scream and attack when she came near. Yet, she had survived her sprint once more, and as she wandered towards the library she tucked away stray bits of hair and straightened her elytra.

The cape-like wings fluttered behind her, and she decided it would be quicker to get to the Library if she flew from the roof of the Wayhouse. She made her way up the stairs and paused by the front door, squinting into the desert and hoping the librarians could teach her a few new Testificate phrases today. Communicating with a grumpy old Pillager would be a lot easier if they could understand each other.

cosmosOgler The dragon within the Ender Egg had only just awoken from its nap when it felt the presence of a passerby.

The Wayhouse had been a good idea. The dragon was glad it had thought of the house for its new living space. Though... few passers by had stopped to acknowledge it. All the same, the people who briefly passed through its awareness kept the world from getting too quiet.

This new person's mind frayed around the edges, and still crackled freshly with fear of arrows, and fire, and spirits. Ooh, it hadn't heard about the Nether before. Maybe this one would stop and share a bit.

Hi! Hello! Is someone there?

Brook Khidpuh Faeden stopped just as her cloak spread its tattered wings. Had she... heard something? The thought gave her pause. Thought? Thought. It wasn't a voice, per se. Where was it coming from? She turned, looking around, then turned again, wondering who or what was nearby.

"H-- Hello? Is anyone there?"

Maybe they were in the Wayhouse? She gripped her staff, just in case, and lightly pushed the door open. When the coast seemed clear, she floated cautiously inside.

Who was calling? And why?

cosmosOgler The other person's voice called distantly, muffled by anxiety and suspicion.

What should it ask about first? The dragon admired its hoard of questions, trying not to seriously consider any of them yet. Picking just one at a time would definitely strain its concentration. Offhand, it attempted to curse Oleander again for introducing all the struggle of making decisions into its life. But all it could muster was a lukewarm tangle of complicated emotions it had no desire to untangle.

I can't hear you, the dragon replied, somewhat giddy to have gotten them to stop at all. Calm down or focus more on your words.

Brook Khidpuh "Wh-"

Couldn't hear her...? Well. Frankly, that wouldn't be the biggest surprise. She was soft spoken and quiet, being told to speak up was something she was used to.

Do I have to think my... thoughts, or do they hear my voice?

"Where are you?"

She glanced around the room. Everything seemed in place. She couldn't hear anything, aside from the purrs of cats and whistles of parrots as the CD in the jukebox played faintly from upstairs. Where was this stranger?

cosmosOgler If you're listening to yourself talk, I can hear both, the dragon said, recalling Oleander's exasperated eyeroll. I'm in a chest, I think? I don't know which one. Does it matter? Where are YOU?

Brook Khidpuh In a... In a chest?

She glanced about, wondering now what was communicating with her.

I think I'll... I'll just think my words. I'd feel pretty stupid talking to thin air. Uh- I didn't, mean to say- think- add that last part. Ugh, talk normally, idiot, she stammered mentally.

I'm still by the door. Should I... come to you? Do you... not want to be in a chest? I don't know if I would.

cosmosOgler Whatever hatches your chickens.

The dragon took a moment to parse the person's jumbled thoughts. It had no room to judge, there, as it had stumbled over its messages plenty of times before too. And- oh, great, here came another set of questions about what it wanted.

It hummed thoughtfully. It doesn't make a big difference. Just as long as it's not freezing cold, it's fine for me.

Too many questions. The dragon needed a break. Its brows drew together just a touch, within the egg. Who are you, anyway? You sound familiar, but I can't place the voice. You just came from the Nether? Do you live there?

Brook Khidpuh Faeden bit her lip, looking around for some sort of hint as to the whereabouts of this mystery... thing?

I um, my name is Faeden. I don't know if you can see me, but if you can I hope you're not alarmed. And goodness, no. The Nether is a terrifying place, I only use it to get from my home to the Library.

She was unsure where to look, if this mystery host of hers could see her, and settled for finding the animals in the building. Faeden floated upstairs and located a cat, which she crooned and pet.

I don't know exactly why I might be familiar to you. Although, there are places and parts of my life I don't remember very well. And um. Do you mind if I ask, who or what you are?

cosmosOgler The dragon's tone took on the focus of piqued interest. Why is your appearance alarming?

Ah. So that's a cat. The image, the sound, the softness washed through the dragon's senses. Oh, we haven't met before, if you thought... I just watched sometimes. I don't recognize half the voices that pass through here, so it's fun when one of you seems familiar.

It paused, for dramatic effect, the way it had seen others do. It might be funny to lie... but it didn't know enough things to make up a funny lie. I'm in an egg. I am another Ender Dragon.

It waited, for that weight of relief and dread, like last time. The recognition. The unexpected satisfaction of someone already knowing who it is.

Brook Khidpuh Ender Dragon? Ender Dragon. Ender-

oh.

The memories came back. The earth-shaking roar of the dragon, the confused shouting of everyone fighting, looking for a weak point, the Wraith and their roar that rivaled the dragon's, the endermen hissing and chasing after the Warden, feeling fear slip away to be replaced with battle fury as she climbed onto the pedestal and attacked, being thrust high into the air and falling down beyond the island, into the void, where the fall was endless and the nothingness suffocated as it claimed her- she cut the memory of that death off. It hadn't rattled her too badly at the time, but it wasn't very pleasant to think about.

The egg.

The egg. She had been able to sense that small, delicate yet powerful life residing within it. It was warm, it held life, she had wanted to touch it and hold it forever, fold herself around it and protect whatever was inside. It had been passed around so quickly, though. She barely had had a chance to process what she was holding. She suddenly longed to hold it again, to run her hands over the strong, smooth surface, feel the life inside pulse against her chest like a heartbeat.

You're the next dragon... she mused. A-- A nice one, right?

She looked around the room, hoping she could sense the tiny powerful being pulsing inside its home again.

Um... I'm a... a ghost. Undead. I've startled a number of people here, and... and some meetings haven't gone so well as a result. A wave of phantom nausea swept over her at the sharp, jarring memories of Dresden's maddened expression as blood flew from her face, suddenly obscured by the flashing of the axe. Faeden steadied herself with a deep breath. That was in the past now.

I just wanted to be sure I didn't frighten anyone else.

cosmosOgler Ah, this person had fought the Ender Dragon too. Excellent. Her emotions curdled more intensely than Oleander's, her images felt more broad and grand. The vivid memories lingered even in the dragon's perception with a fizzling fuzziness between its eyes.

Then, the dragon saw itself again, in another bright crackling memory.

I'm a very nice one, the dragon said, with its best attempt at a mischievous smirk to its tone.

And then a flicker to a violent death interrupted its teasing. The dragon gasped and reeled within its egg. This girl was going to make it sick if she kept jumping around. Why did she broadcast everything so powerfully? Was it... because of the undead factor? Is that how she startled others? By burying them without warning?

I see, it forced out, gritting its teeth. It forgot to keep talking, while it floundered for a way to make that crackling static sensation stop.

It could focus on the mindscape, or it could not focus on the mindscape. It had never needed to... to fiddle with what kind of concentration it afforded others before. Was that possible?

Brook Khidpuh The flash of fear ebbed and subsided as it often did now, and Faeden forced her body to relax. She didn't think that would ever stop, that horrible flashback that always accompanied her fear of not being well-met, but hopefully in time the intensity of it might become muffled.

Her hands itched as much as spectral hands might; the egg wasn't up here, or on the main level. Was it in the basement?

Well I, I'm glad you're nice, then. The other dragon didn't seem very nice- although, if I'm being perfectly honest, I don't know why we all had to fight it.

She made her way down the steps, glancing around and finding a small stairway leading to a small room. Blackstone. Mister Ollie's work, then? He was the last she had seen with the egg. Her eyes fell across its smooth surface. A wave of- fondness? Oddly placed love? Admiration?- swept through her. She had always loved animals. Right? Right. She had always cared for them. But not just stable animals, no. Those magical, wonderful animals far beyond the city, in the magical woods where they hid, and she had felt like one of them, running far from her troubles and... what, exactly? She squinted, but the shadows overtook her memory. Well. At least she had a placement for her love of animals, now.

Um. Dragon. Do you... do you have a name? Should I call you something? Oh, and... is... is it alright if I hold you?

She wanted nothing more than to do so, but decided, if there was a sentient being within, she would ask permission first, no matter how badly she wanted to touch it again.

cosmosOgler Unsure of how to respond to the comment about the Ender Dragon, the dragon shifted a delicate wing within its shell. That comment all but confirmed its suspicions: they had most likely hunted the original Dragon for the cool rocks that would pop out upon its death.

The dragon found some solace in knowing that it was a cool rock and not a creature that would drop cool rocks.

While the girl wandered around within its perception, the dragon thought over its limited interactions with its elder. The Ender Dragon had not planned on ever dying, it thought, as the Dragon had not put in place any contingency plans or laid groundwork for a successor. It rarely spoke or thought of of the world where the dragon could hear it, and it had not shared any purpose or knowledge with its egg outside of be quiet, which the younger dragon clearly never heeded in the slightest.

The other dragon was not very nice, it finally agreed.

The mindscape again lurched with the girl's powerful, burning emotions. The dragon teetered on the edge between its emotions and hers, clinging to that frustration and sense of illness. But the girl swung her hammer again. She dwelled on those wonderful animals, and her wonderful love for them, and the escape into the woods where she was finally free, and the dragon couldn't remember what it was so annoyed about anymore. Tending the animals, riding a horse, wind in her hair! What a breathtaking idea.

It welcomed being held. Oleander had been warm and careful- not that dropping it would harm it, of course.

Of course you can hold me. That would be great, it chattered. I don't have a name. No one's ever tried to name me I think. I certainly didn't need it, it's not as if anyone needed to address the egg sitting there in the hoard before. That would be like talking to a box of jewels, wouldn't it?

Brook Khidpuh Faeden was unable to contain her excitement as she reached for the egg, her hands shaking ever so slightly but steadying once the warmth spread through them. It was likely heavy to others, but that was one of the advantages of being a ghost, wasn't it?

She ran her hands over the gleaming surface as she sank to the floor, feeling her heart swell. Gently, she folded herself around it, knowing she could offer no warmth but enjoying the pulse of life from within regardless. She closed her eyes so she could hear it clearer, a small, satisfied sigh escaping her.

Well, she started in a cozy, chatty tone, a smile on her lips, We'll have to fix that, won't we? Do you have any sort of name you'd like to have? I suppose a dragon in an egg wouldn't have many things it's seen or know of, but if you can think of something you like maybe we can figure something out. I'll stay right here until then.

When had she last felt like this? Calm and at peace. Nothing and no one to worry her. It reminded her of when she lived back in the forest with her lover and the rest, sneaking out in the evening to call the glowing, mystical animals near her and pet and play with them. There was one that had made her heart swell in particular... a small, blue, glowing animal of the woods... its form escaped her memory.

She would dwell on it later. For now, she allowed her hands to trail to where she imagined the small dragon's head to be, her thumb sweeping across the shell as though stroking a fox between the ears.

cosmosOgler Utterly drunk on the girl's continuous blasts of excitement and affection, the dragon hardly noticed how cold her hands and body pressed against its curled-up limbs. It stirred vaguely in time with her moving hands, though it could not feel her touch through the shell. Its floundering unease died within the sick dizziness washing through it every time the girl's mood and memories shifted, and its thoughts tore between the chill of the outside and the staticky warm-ness of the mindscape.

It laughed, scrambled and sleepy. Fixing something that isn't broken, hmm? Well, what's your name? Maybe I should have that one. It giggled at its own joke with a floaty bouncy sort of thought.

Brook Khidpuh She giggled, the sound bouncing around the too-quiet walls of blackstone.

My name is Faeden. But I don't think a growing dragon would want such a soft sounding name when it's all grown up and strong.

cosmosOgler It could hear her, just outside the barrier, joining its laughter. Incensed, it plowed ahead.

You're right, it began, briefly losing track of its thought. Gotta hav'a hard name. Dragon name. Hard to pronounce. Like Vermithrax, that's'a fun one, it slurred. Or, or Elmo. Laughter completely interrupted its ability to form words.

After a moment, when its mind quieted, the world seemed cloudy and soft. Faeden's response came through murky and distorted. Or maybe the dragon had become distracted by the cloudiness. It snickered again, without registering what she said. Just what was so funny? It couldn't say.

Brook Khidpuh Hmm, she wondered, letting the hum of curiosity slip out loud, This is silly, but why not experiment? You can go by different names until you decide one. Like, um... Dimly she recalled a dragon of legend from her own world.

Ephios, the dragon. I like the way that one sounds, don't you?

She laughed at its suggestion. Elmo, hmm? What a ferocious sounding name.

She felt strangely safe and warm. She could almost hear it, shifting within its shell, and felt her eyelids droop ever so slightly.

cosmosOgler The dragon hardly heard Faeden's suggestion, but Ephios floated within its dim, giggly awareness. Ephios...

Picking a name seemed like such a big task. It had no idea how it was going to possibly pick one out of the dozens of choices.

Faeden's warm heaviness fell over the dragon like the Ender Dragon settling on its hoard. But, as her emotions quieted, the dragon's own feelings bubbled up and pierced back through the surface in jolts. Too dizzy and sick to feel angry about all this upset, it just groaned. The sound broadcast out into the mindscape, but a thin whine also burbled within the shell.

Brook Khidpuh The ghost flinched at the sound that pierced her mind.

Are you alright? she asked, concern lacing her mental voice. Am I hurting you?

cosmosOgler Small, soft claws twitched in the egg's shell. I've never felt like this before, it grumbled. You get- you get so agitated. Why do you have so many emotions? Is it always like that? Don't you get sick too?

Brook Khidpuh Faeden blinked away the sleepiness that had been sneaking up on her.

A--Agitated? I-- what do you mean? Unsure why, she felt a stab of anxiety. Doesn't everyone feel many emotions? They're how you experience life, aren't they?

Her hand twitched on the shell.

S...Sometimes I feel sick, when I think of something that makes me upset... But feeling things doesn't usually hurt me. Does it hurt you?

cosmosOgler Anxiety stabbed through the dragon, and it grunted at the blow. Yeah. Just like that.

I mean, I Have Emotions, the dragon growled. I think. Maybe? Jury's out on that one. But when I used to watch you guys, this didn't happen. And this didn't happen when Oleander talked to me. You're feeling so much all the time it's like an Enderman grabbing and shaking me. How are you doing that? I got SWAMPED in it.

Riding the horse... Wind in her hair... That memory was okay, it supposed. That could stay.

Brook Khidpuh I... I just... do?

She thought about it for a moment.

I think I've... always done that? I feel things... strongly. I remember things... through visual memories, and emotions. Is that why? I'm sorry if it was a lot for you.

The ghost shifted, the anxiety turning into a steady dull throb. She sighed, trying to force it out of her chest.

I just- worry. I guess. Um. Sh-should I, try to think of happy memories, so you don't feel so sick? And- I'm sure you have emotions. Everyone does, to some extent. Some are just better at showing them than others.

cosmosOgler No, no, the dragon replied with a mental sigh. Happy memories are even stronger. And both at the same time...

How could it make that stop? It didn't seem realistic to just demand Faeden stop feeling emotions around it- at this rate, even bringing it up had her all knotted and jagged. Prickly and unstable, but at the very least outside of its own mind. Its own knots and prickles buzzed under the surface. Oleander, and now Faeden, demanded so much energy and thought to interact with. Even these short conversations exhausted it. But it clamored for attention all the same. And if Faeden got sad, she might leave.

So it swallowed the dizziness and sat on its anger. Change the subject, move back to something fun.

H-how many other animals do you know? I... saw... the cat, and a horse.

Nailed it.

Brook Khidpuh Immediately the little spirit perked up, speaking aloud in her excitement.

"O-Oh! At my home, I have lots of foxes! Some of them I breed, but most just congregated around me. They're all very sweet, if not a little mischievous. Hehe... Kind of like you! And, yes, I also have some cats and a few horses, and a pack of wolves that protect me. My br-- f-friend Phoenix is going to help me look for a pufferfish, and maybe a jungle bear!"

She paused to catch her breath before remembering she didn't have a breath to catch.

Uh. Sorry. Th-that was too fast, wasn't it?

Despite herself, she laughed.

Sorry. Asking about animals can be a mistake, when it comes to me.

cosmosOgler Wheeeeee!

Feeling as though it had tumbled head-over-tail down a mile-long hill, the dragon laughed along. A little...!

Half of the dragon's mind dug in its heels. This needed to stop. It needed things to stop happening. But the other half... What's a pufferfish? A bear? What's a fox? A pack of wolves- like, a stack of them? Do you have sixty-four? Wait, how many things can you carry in a stack anyway? What's a Phoenix?

Questions slipped from between its woozy claws as quickly and easily as the wind. Now that it found someone willing to answer questions, it couldn't just let that conversation go so quickly. As badly as it needed a break, that memory of the stables, of the wind in her hair as she blew down the forest trail, left it ravenous for more.

Brook Khidpuh A fox? You don't know what a fox is?

Faeden stifled a yawn, trying not to let tiredness overtake her despite her excitement. She hadn't slept the last night or two, sort of just... forgetting to, and the egg was warm and she felt chatty, more relaxed than she had been since... well, since arriving in this world. She settled against it more comfortably, laying her head across it like a hard, smooth pillow, and thought of Amber.

Maybe I'll bring one with me next time! They can be a little noisy, but I love them. They're sweet. And, I don't have quite that many wolves, she chuckled aloud, continuing, but there are... a few. They're like foxes, but grey and big and fluffy and loyal. I didn't know what a pufferfish was until Phoenix showed me his. It's full of spines and angry looking, but cute! Phoenix is my friend, he- another stifled yawn- lives in a pretty tower. I actually haven't seen a bear since-

She flinched upon remembering the sound of that horrid roar, cutting off that memory. She was in a good mood right now. Don't think about it. Don't remember.

The ghost rapidly jumped several trains of thought before settling on a suitable one. It certainly paid to be able to think quickly, it could save a figurative or literal beating. She would give the head maid that much. Her thoughts drifted towards her original plans, and an idea came to mind.

Hehe... you sure ask a lot of questions. Hmm. Maybe, when I learn to read a little better, I can read you books about things on my way back from the Library. I'm not very good at it now... but I'll learn. We can learn together!

cosmosOgler Yes, bring one next time! It received flashes of the creatures from Faeden- warm colors, awful shrieking cries. It wanted to hear those cries for itself. Surely the memory of the sound was distorted or exaggerated somehow? Her impressions of so many wonderful creatures fluttered around the dragon's awareness.

Then, the echo of an overpowering, bone-rattling roar clattered through the mindscape. Faeden silenced it after a second, but not before the dragon's stamina buckled under the strength of it.

That would be nice... Yeah, bring something next time... it mumbled as it drifted off. Oh, it hoped she wouldn't get bored or sad and leave if it stopped talking. But it couldn't withstand even one more jump between present and past, positive and negative. Faeden's words and thoughts quieted to the dull white noise that the dragon so enjoyed keeping in the background.

The dragon had not slept so soundly in years.

Leon: We need to create a shelter before nightfall- Piers: Mate, how far did you dig? Raihan: I found iron already if that helps- Piers: It doesn’t- Bede: I found a mountain top that would make a good base Gordie: No, Zombies can climb mountains. We need to make a treehouse- Piers: Whatever Gordie’s doin’ I’m followin’ Gordie: Hell yeah, roomies Leon: We are supposed to live TOGETHER- Piers: I mean, we share the world. Why bother sharin’ a roof- Bede: Is no one going to help me build the mansion? Piers: I’m making a treehouse- Gordie: Well come on then! Piers: Mate, I JUST spawned in, I only found Leon cause he and Rai are RIGHT here. Where are you? Gordie: If you look in the distance you’ll see a dark wood forest- Piers: Those are bad news, you want to make a home there? Gordie: It’ll be fun Piers: Can’t argue with that, I’m comin’ Piers wanders off and Leon is looking down Raihan’s hole he dug. He suddenly falls in, hitting the ground and making Raihan laugh. Leon doesn’t say a word. At the same time, Bede is attacked by a bear and panics, falling off the mountain. When their deaths pop up Piers shakes his head, Gordie snickers.

Piers: What happened? Raihan: Leon fell in my hole- Leon: Please don’t say it like that- Piers: Damn, at least buy him dinner first- Gordie: That needs to be all over the internet- Piers: Pretty sure it already is- Leon: Did you pick up my stuff? Raihan: Yeah, I got it Bede: Oh please, don’t all come help at once. Piers: We weren’t. Gordie, finish up the floors, I got the ceiling- Bede: I WAS BEING ATTACKED Gordie: Yeah, Normally you see I’d give a shit but we’re almost done with a SICK loft- Piers: How’d this sheep get in our treehouse?

Piers: Pft, there goes that plan Leon: Great. come back up here and help us build a house Raihan: I’m going to move into a village and live the good life. I’m not wasting my time building a house. Gordie: You’re just going to mooch on a Testificate’s couch? Piers: Are they still called that- Bede: Why does no one want to cooperate!? Gordie: Me and Piers are cooperating just fine Raihan: until you start dying of hunger and you kill Marnie for mutton Piers: I’d kill him Gordie: Relax, I have rotten flesh to keep me full- Bede: You EAT that stuff? Raihan: There’s literally no downside to it- Leon: Just raid village garden for their potatoes- Piers: You have to find one. Gordie: Then you have to deal with Illagers- Piers: Sometimes- Gordie: Too often- Bede: What are Illagers? Everyone is silent for a couple of seconds. Gordie chuckles to himself. Piers:... What version were you running? Bede: Before today I was running 1.12. 2 for modding purposes- Piers: Oh, shit, Gordie we have to watch this Gordie: This is going to be hilarious Piers: Do you have a lede so we can bring Marnie? Gordie: We’ll name a new sheep Marnie Piers: I’m fine with that. Let’s all move into a village Raihan: This is going to be fun Bede: What the hell is everyone talking about? Leon: Illagers are like evil villagers. Occasionally they’ll raid the villages- Bede: That’s interesting- Leon: Let’s see how it goes.

They move into the village together, everyone in a separate house except Piers and Gordie. Together they built a secret bunker under their house to protect from the inevitable raid. The Raid hit at the worst possible time. Gordie was taking their pink sheep Marnie for a walk, Piers was chopping trees in the nearby woods, Bede was farming in town, Leon was crafting in his house and Raihan was trading.

Bede:.. What is that bar- Piers: Fuck, I’m not at home- Raihan: ABANDON SHIP! Gordie: THEY HAVE A RAVAGER- Piers: Get Marnie into the bunker. If she dies, you’re moving out- Leon: You guys made a bunker-? Gordie: Way to go Piers, they’re going to mooch off of us- Bede: Who is shooting me!? Leon: I’m not at all equipped for this- Raihan: I packed my shit and I’m already moving somewhere else. Gordie: Don’t worry, I got Marnie into the house Piers: Thank fuck. Leon: Oh that farm is Decimated- There’s a vex around here- Bede: WHAT IS THAT?! WHY IS THE GROUND MOVING- WHAT IS THAT?! Leon: Bede, Get inside! That’s a ravager, avoid the fairy things- Piers: Shit, we didn’t prep for Vexes Gordie: pft, You didn’t Gordie opens the secret passage to their bunker and is face to face with a creeper. Since the house is compact, the creeper blows up almost all of it. The sheep dies in the blast and Gordie barely survives. Gordie: Piers, mate, we’re fucked Piers: What happened Gordie: Marnie died- Piers: ugh, Gordie, you’re shit. Move out of the house- Gordie: There isn’t one anymore. There was a creeper in the bunker Piers: Damn I thought it would have despawned by now- Gordie: YOU KNEW IT WAS THERE AND DIDN’T TELL ME!? Piers: I locked it in there like... yesterday- Gordie: PIERS- Bede: Aw, a lovers quarrel- Raihan: This is why you don’t move in with friends- Bede: THERE ARE FAIRIES IN THE HOUSE Leon: DON’T LET THEM IN THE HOUSE Piers: I just got back to notice that Raihan took all of his shit out of his house and got the hell out of here Gordie: Do you want the mutton from the sheep or is that like in poor taste? Piers: I’m taking what I can carry and I’m following Raihan- Raihan: Anyone else want to become a nomad? Bede: I died about 5 times so I’ll follow. Leon: Come on! We can beat them- Gordie: I’m bowing out too. You can do it, Leon... without us. Piers: We should have just kept a treehouse. Bede: Fuck villages

Anyway, all credit goes to respective owners.

Memory Bullets

Hamoponi’s harm rule; Hamoponi had inform myself, Hana-san and Inoue-chan that if anyone in the ski resort is hurt in anyway, the culprit will be kick out for everyone’s elses safety or we can kill that person if we want to but if we get it wrong or waste time then everyone else besides Hamoponi’s creator will be kick out.

Fuji, Hana and Sunako’s Accounts; All 3 of us were at the iron door pass the plane, seeing if there was a way out. Inoue-chan left a bit earlier but mention that she was waiting for us by the entrance of the path.

Chikao’s allergies; Chikao-san is allergic to animal fur, which gains him a rash that gets so bad that it bleeds – it seems the rash can be cure with medicine that can be found at the pharmacy.

Jobon and Tomohiro’s autopsy; Looks like that there are no wounds, however around Chikao-san’s neck it looks like a heavy rash that is bleeding. Seems like Ueda-san doesn’t know about this allergy.

Fake fur; There looks to be fake fur near Chikao-san, it seems that Hayashi-san could tell based on the texture.

Bedroom doors; Seems all the doors can be lock from the inside unless you have a key the only exception of Katou-san’s, who seem to have left it unlock when he’s sleeping and even rush off to find his headpiece.

Mrs. Kimura’s account; Mrs. Kimura was going on a hike with Kimura-san but it looks likes Hayashi-san, Kobayashi-san and Ueda-san wanted to see Mrs. Kimura about somethings; Hayashi-san was request by Ohta-san about a rocket she saw, Kobayashi-san about the door being block and Ueda-san asking about dinner. Which as Mrs. Kimura was about to go see what Ohta-san wanted to point to suddenly the announcement came on which she and Kimura-san went over to the lodge.

Tomoe’s account; Kimura-san mention that she notices that Ueda-san went to the ice rink but also notice a young boy rush by as he looks to be covering his face as he too was heading to the ice rink which before she could call out to him, the announcement came on.

Doi’s bear paws; Katou-san’s bear paws look to be cover in blood.

Doi’s account; Seems Katou-san was sleeping but look to be awoken by someone entering his room and taking his mask which he rushes out and trying to find his bear mask.

Bloody sink; It looks like the sink was cover in blood, likely the culprit was cleaning the blood off.

No Rope in Warehouse; Kobayashi-san mention that there is no rope in the warehouse near the lodge when he was getting tools to fix the door.

Star Gazing; Hana-san had ask Ohta-san to check about this star she saw this morning which lead to star gazing with her, Mori-san, Kita-san, Hayashi-san and Hanlon-san to go star gazing. Seems Ohta-san mention that the star she saw was a rocket which she ask Hayashi-san to go get Mrs. Kimura.

Circuit breaker; It seems that none of the wires were cut or anything was mess with so the lights might have been turn off by the culprit very quickly so they didn’t have time to mess with the wiring.

Rai’s Account; Seems Nakahara-san was in his room, which he lock the door as he was fixing up Kimura-san’s phone and look to have doze off before the announcement came on which would explain why he was late.

Makeshift Rope; Seems Hayashi-san was using animal fur and wire as a makeshift rope since she notices that we had no rope but when she came back, the rope was gone.

Benjiro’s Hearing; Abiko-san has mention he can hear the voices of the dead and decided to use it which he hears the following - Chikao-san was struggling for air; he even was coughing as well as trying to get it off but then he mentions the last thing he saw was… a bear mask, looking down at him then it went dark. He felt panic and seem surprise by the attack… meaning he didn’t see his attacker’s face or expected it.

CLASS TRIAL START!

Hamoponi: Right then, since this sprung up – welcome all to the class trial, today you all will figure out which one of your ingrates went and killed your classmate! You all have to inform me who is the blacken in this trial which that person will be kick out of the resort but if not… I will kick out everyone besides my creator, so you all better be clear with your decision.

Kimura Kimika: Wa-Wait, hold on a second… before we start this, can we get an explanation of the rules just so were clear?

Hamoponi: Pardon? Didn’t I already explain them to you or are you still confused by them?

Kimura Tomoe: The Rule? But I thought we were clear on that – I mean if we get it wrong we are kick out… right?

Hanlon Norman: She’s right, I think he made it pretty clear so let’s just discuss about what happen already!

Kimura Kimika: But still… I think it’s just that we have to make the rules clear since whoever killed Chikao-san must of known of this rule in advance… right? So I just need to make sure.

Seems like the others aren’t too sure of that rule… I better tell them.

Okamoto Fuji: > Hamoponi’s harm rule, I got it!

Okamoto Fuji: Mrs. Kimura, I was actually informed about the rule before; it seems that if the culprit harm another person and is a danger to us we get to decide if we want to let this person go or kill them ourselves if they are too dangerous.

Kimura Kimika: Ah, I see then… thank you for informing me; Fuji-san… as for that you get a top score for informing me!

Okamoto Fuji: Um… thanks, I guess?

Mori Miwa: Right but that also means the person that knew of this rule likely killed Ishikawa so that means… Fuji-san, you’re the culprit!

Okamoto Fuji: Hu-Huh?! You’re suspecting me for committing the crime?

Mori Miwa: But I’m not wrong, am I? We didn’t know about this rule until you say something so if anything, you’re a suspect.

Hamasaki Hana: Wait wait, why are you suspecting her all of a sudden? I mean she was just explaining the rule.

Hanlon Norman: But that does line up, even if I don’t agree with her – that means you’re a huge suspect of the crime now confess if you did it or not!

Abiko Benjiro: Well Fuji-san, have anything to explain yourself…?

Seems everyone else is suspecting me but… I know for sure I didn’t do it and those 2 knew I didn’t do it either… I got to clear my name!

Class Debate – Start!

Mori Miwa: Counting that no one knew of this rule before the crime…

Mori Miwa: Which means I, Mori Miwa think that <Okamoto Fuji is the culprit> of the case!

Katou Doi: But still, she could be explaining the rule to us and Hamoponi just inform her…

Mori Miwa: Are you certain about that? I mean we don’t have <her alibi> so for now she’s a major suspect.

Mori Miwa: Plus unlike her; myself, Jobon-kun, Ryoko-chan, Hoshiko-chan and that disgusting pervert all have alibis!

Kobayashi Eito: Wait a moment, wouldn’t that make all of us except you 5 suspects too? That’s pretty unfair…

Hanlon Norman: And who are you <calling a disgusting pervert!> I mean don’t treat me as lesser, you she devil.

Kimura Kimika: Please calm down class, I’m sure we can figure this out now let’s focus on the trial.

I’m being suspected for the crime but I know for sure I’m not the culprit at all… I better prove my innocent!

Mori Miwa: Counting that no one knew of this rule before the crime…

Mori Miwa: Which means I, Mori Miwa think that <Okamoto Fuji is the culprit> of the case!

Katou Doi: But still, she could be explaining the rule to us and Hamoponi just inform her…

Mori Miwa: Are you certain about that? I mean we don’t have <her alibi>< Fuji, Hana and Sunako’s Accounts>

Okamoto Fuji: I’m sorry but that’s wrong!

Class Debate – Ended!

Okamoto Fuji: I apologize for interrupting, Mori-san but I’m not the culprit…

Mori Miwa: What? You aren’t – then how can you be so sure?

Okamoto Fuji: Because I have 2 people that could testify for me; right Hana-san and Inoue-chan?

Inoue Sunako: Yep yep, she is super duper innocent! We even went to check out the iron door which is far away from the lodge!

Hamasaki Hana: We even had Hamoponi explain the rule to us as well, so unless your suspecting Fuji-san then you’re going to have to suspect me and Sunako-chan as well.

Mori Miwa: …

Mori Miwa: Well, seems I made a mistake on my part…

Ohta Hoshiko: Well now were done with that mess – counting those 3 got alibis; mind if we continue on the trial…

Kobayashi Eito: Wait, actually before we do since Mori-san brought up regarding you 5 were together, correct?

Ohta Hoshiko: Hm? What do you mean by that…?

Kobayashi Eito: Well – I just find it a bit odd that she says you along with Kita-san, Hanlon-san and Hayashi-san… I mean I saw Hayashi-san. So, I was curious what you were all doing…?

Hayashi Ryoko: Actually, I can testify here… us five were together.

Actually, I can testify for this one, since I did see 4 of them…

Okamoto Fuji: > Star Gazing, I got it!

Okamoto Fuji: Actually Kobayashi-san, I did see them looking up at the skies before I went with Hana-san and Inoue-chan but I didn’t see Hayashi-san sadly…

Kobayashi Eito: Oh, okay then – just to make sure and I see you 3 together so that does give about eight of you solid alibis…

Abiko Benjiro: But still… we have seven people left, correct? Which includes myself, you Eito-kun, Mrs. Kimura, Tomoe-san, Tomohiro-kun, Doi-kun and Rai-kun.

Kimura Kimika: Execuse you are you accusing me and Tomoe of a crime?! I swear to my grave; 4 of us have alibis as well!

Kobayashi Eito: Exactly, we can testify that we were together – while I did leave the door for a moment I do have an alibi as well!

Abiko Benjiro: Still the fact remains that you mention to be at the door this whole time, we can’t be sure to trust your alibi; Eito-kun…

Kobayashi Eito: Whoa, I can assure you I do have one – just let me explain it!

Kimura Kimika: If you mind I can testified…

Abiko Benjiro/Kobayashi Eito/Kimura Kimika: You’re the culprit! /I’m not the culprit! /I have an alibi!

Geez, I can barely hear who’s saying who but seems like all have a point but one is incorrect…

Mass Panic Debate Start!!

Argument 1:

Abiko Benjiro: Seeing as Eito-kun has no alibi which…

Abiko Benjiro: Makes him a <prime suspect>.

Inoue Sunako: I mean he was at the door so it would make sense.

Mori Miwa: You think we could <suspect him>?

Ueda Tomohiro: That does seem possible…

Argument 2:

Kobayashi Eito: I swear <I am not> the culprit!

Hanlon Norman: Then can you explain yourself, Eito?

Katou Doi: So then you likely <kill him>!

Kimura Tomoe: Wait now, maybe we are jumping the gun here!

Kobayashi Eito: Yep exactly, I actually do have an alibi!

Argument 3:

Kimura Kimika: If you let me testified then…

Kimura Kimika: Then I can <prove our innocent>!

Hamasaki Hana: I’m sure you do, but just tell us…

Kimura Kimika: I would but it’s getting too loud to speak up…

Nakahara Rai: But if anything, WE (HAVE TO BE LOUDER) FOR THE GODS TO HEAR!

A lot of voices, I can focus… but if I hear it, then I can see the contradiction…

Argument 1:

Abiko Benjiro: Seeing as Eito-kun has no alibi which…

Abiko Benjiro: Makes him a <prime suspect>< Mrs. Kimura’s account>

Argument 2:

Kobayashi Eito: I swear <I am not> the culprit!

Hanlon Norman: Then can you explain yourself, Eito?

Argument 3:

Kimura Kimika: If you let me testified then…

Kimura Kimika: Then I can <prove our innocent>!

Okamoto Fuji: I can hear you!

Mass Panic Debate Ended!

Okamoto Fuji: Hold a moment, actually Abiko-san… I think I can bring up that Kobayashi-san has an alibi…

Abiko Benjiro: Oh, he does then…?

Okamoto Fuji: Yes! Kobayashi-san did meet up with Mrs. Kimura, Kimura-san, Hayashi-san and Ueda-san regarding the door which was block by Chikao-san, right?

Kimura Kimika: I was going to talk about that but yes; myself, Tomoe were going on a hike which Eito-san, Ryoko-san and Tomohiro-san met up before the announcement so if anything, …

Ueda Tomohiro: We have alibis before the announcement however, that means we have 3 remaining that don’t have one, correct?

All turn attention towards the 3 that didn’t have an alibi… Abiko Benjiro, Katou Doi and Nakahara Rai.

Nakahara Rai: Wa-Wait, are you suspecting me?! But I couldn’t have killed him!

Kobayashi Eito: But we didn’t see you all evening and if I recall right; you along with Benjiro-san and Doi-san were the only ones in the lodge so if anything, you 3 could have killed Chikao-kun.

Nakahara Rai: Bu-But I have proof I can assure you!

Seems like Nakahara-san is getting suspected but I can prove it with this!

Class Debate - Start!

Kobayashi Eito: I think our suspect is Rai-san… wouldn’t you agree?

Nakahara Rai: But I do have an explanation for that!

Nakahara Rai: I was (fixing up Tomoe-san’s phone) with my powers of electricity!

Hanlon Norman: Even then that isn’t <enough to prove your not innocent>…

Hanlon Norman: So confess to the crime!

Kimura Kimika: Plus <Tomoe never mention this to any of us> so you could be lying!

Kimura Tomoe: Ac-Actually if I can explain…

Kimura Kimika: Dear, please keep quiet while I figure this out…

Kimura Tomoe: …

Seems the others are suspecting Nakahara-san, I better try and clear his name if I can…

Kobayashi Eito: I think our suspect is Rai-san… wouldn’t you agree?

Nakahara Rai: But I do have an explanation for that!

Nakahara Rai: I was (fixing up Tomoe-san’s phone) <Rai’s Account>

Okamoto Fuji: I agree with you!

Class Debate – Ended!

Okamoto Fuji: Wait a moment, Nakahara-san did say he was working on Kimura-san’s phone when she left for the hike…

Kobayashi Eito: Wait, are you saying that it’s true?! Tomoe-san – why didn’t you say anything!

Kimura Tomoe: Well, I figure it wasn’t that important at the time so it wasn’t going to be useful and besides…

Kimura Tomoe: I figure I be off my phone during the hike since I was bother by the TV and the messages so I figure I give to Nakahara-kun to fix it up.

Hamasaki Hana: So I guess that that Rai-san has an alibi…

Nakahara Rai: Indeed, I even lock the door and everything so no one can get in while I work! I even recall dozing off until the morning announcement came on!

Kobayashi Eito: I see… then I guess I was wrong about that, sorry! I figure with the lights being out that maybe he was a major suspect but anyway-!

CUT IN!

Kimura Kimika: Class is in session!

Kimura Kimika: Counting he mention the lights were out… I just remember that lights were out but then turn on suddenly which means…

Okamoto Fuji: Means what…?

Kimura Kimika: My suspects are still on Rai-san – I mean the fact that Tomoe brought it up suddenly and never told me leads me to suspecting him!

Cross Sword with Kimura Kimika – BEGIN!

Kimura Kimika: The fact I did not know about this /slash/ along with this information just recently appearing /slash/ means that Rai-san turn of the lights himself /slash/ thus making him the culprit!

Okamoto Fuji: Even then, there be no way that Nakahara-san would of done the crime. Because he was in his room all evening fixing up Kimura-san’s phone!

Kimura Kimika: And what makes you so sure? /slash/ I mean there is a way that he is connected to the crime /slash/ such as <cutting off electricity then heading back upstairs!>< Circuit breaker>

Okamoto Fuji: I will cut those words down if you don’t mind!

Cross Sword with Kimura Kimika – END!

Okamoto Fuji: I apologize, Mrs. Kimura but I check the circuit breaker was not touch or none of the wires…

Nakahara Rai: Yep, I check the wires myself and nothing was alter with any of the wiring so if I had to guess, our culprit didn’t have time to mess with it.

Inoue Sunako: Yep so if anything, Rai-kun is innocent! Yep, we can mark him off the major suspect list!

Kimura Kimika: But the fact remains… only 2 are left, which are…

I think it is clear who are the only 2 left…

Okamoto Fuji: -Nakahara Rai and Katou Doi/-Nakahara Rai and Abiko Benjiro/>Abiko Benjiro and Katou Doi

Okamoto Fuji: This one then!

Okamoto Fuji: Abiko-san and Katou-san, correct?

Abiko Benjiro: …

Katou Doi: Wh-Wh-Whaaaaat?! Little old fluffy me! Bu-But I’m a harmless bear! Truly!

Abiko Benjiro: I guess it would make sense to suspect me but I didn’t commit the crime...

Mori Miwa: Oh, and what’s make you so sure?

Abiko Benjiro: Before the announcement I was getting ready for bed and when I was going to tuck myself in, I heard the announcement – I even was praying and going to sleep plus… like with Rai-kun; I lock the door as well.

Ueda Tomohiro: I do recall on the first day I couldn’t open the door, which I couldn’t open the door from the outside…

I think his alibi does check out, because he did this…

Okamoto Fuji: > Bedroom doors, I got it!

Okamoto Fuji: Actually, it seems that the bedroom doors can only be lock from inside the bedroom which unless you have a key, however… there’s one person that doesn’t do that.

Question: Who is the only person that doesn’t keep their door lock when sleeping?

Okamoto Fuji: >Katou Doi, I believe you did it!

Okamoto Fuji: Katou-san is the only person that doesn’t keep there door unlock, it was even left unlock as well!

Katou Doi: EEEEEK!!!

Kimura Kimika: I actually did check the doors, all of them were unlock with the exception of Doi-san!

Katou Doi: We-We-Weeeell, you see… I mean, I uh…I do have an explanation for it…

I can tell Katou-san is cornered and even got proof for it…

Okamoto Fuji: > Doi’s bear paws, I got it!

Okamoto Fuji: Katou-san, I notice when speaking with you – you had blood on your paws so I was curious where that came from…

Katou Doi: O-Oh those things! I mean, I try to clean them off b-but I just couldn’t! I was just-!

Inoue Sunako: You do, then you better tell us unless you want to kick us all out which we could all die!

Hamasaki Hana: Dude – just tell us if you committed the crime or not! I mean, out of everyone you’re the suspected so far and hell we even got more evidence to line up! So just tell us if you killed Chief or not?!

Ueda Tomohiro: Doi-kun… can you please explain the situation to us, I mean… we all want to know if you did it or not then will understand…

Katou Doi: You… want me to explain? We-Well… Fi-Fine… I’ll uh, tell you…

It seems like Katou-san will speak about the situation because so far everyone is suspecting him right now and a lot of the evidence, I collected does line up so… his explanation better be a good one.

Class Trial BREAK!!!

Give You Love

This was inspired by the Gabriel Monthly Challenge for August.

Statement Prompt: It was as though the entire summer had flown past in the time it took him to blink.

Summary: Gabriel remembered two things very clearly, the moment Dean told him Sam was dead and the moment he decided he would sacrifice anything for Sam's soul, including his immortal life. Pairing: Gabriel /Sam Winchester Warnings: Angst and fluff

AO3

Special thanks to my adorable beta-reader and savior @youarentreadingthis

"You may need me there To carry all your weight But you're no burden I assure You tide me over With a warmth I'll not forget But I can only give you love"

Sam stretched, his long arms going behind his neck as he allowed his head to lull in them for a second. In front of him, books upon more books, scrolls, notes and way too many empty cups of coffee laid over the war table.

His eyes hurt after hours of going through moldy papers with useless information, his mind working non-stop. All these people in the bunker were just useless to him. None of them were short with golden ethereal eyes, light brown hair and a teasing smirk. None of them were Gabriel.

And his guilt only grew. He didn't know how to push away the image of Gabriel, one of the most powerful beings in the universe, being gutted by Michael. He couldn't overcome this loss once again without fighting to make things right. He knew it was futile, knew he couldn't possibly bring Gabriel back by his force of will, but boy, did he try.

He spent a lot of time plotting, another great portion of it praying, and when sleep finally claimed him it was dreamless.

****

It was as though the entire summer had flown past in the time it took him to blink.

Or rather an entire year. Gabriel remembered two things very clearly, the moment Dean told him Sam was dead and the moment he decided he would sacrifice anything for Sam's soul, including his immortal life.

Fragments of noises and voice reached him slowly, disturbing the quietness that felt almost hypnotic as if he suddenly decided to breathe it would break such a dull spell. It was pitch black, and Gabriel could only see darkness, the stagnated air troubling him. He had heard about this place, of this being, of everlasting peacefulness --- boring --- that’s what it was. Dad help him, he was not going to stay a second longer in this place.

I wonder if you knew.

Gabriel closed his vessel’s eyes and opened them again in alarm. The question spoken as a declaration of sorts shook him. His grace tingled to the surface, building as strong as ever, if not more. That was new. Someone clearly had nothing better to do than write, pray and think about him. The lowest and less loved archangel, or so he thought.

"Oh, wonderful. Another one." The voice was crude, hardly amused.

"Who is there? Where am I?" Gabriel asked, rising in search of the voice.

"I won't lose my sleep on you," It said. He looked a lot like a younger version of Brad Pitt, his snark stopping Gabriel from really appreciating his physique. "I have absolutely zero patience with annoyances such as yourself. Chop-chop, you go. And preferably don't come back, as in ever."

It feels so unfair that I had no time to tell you.

Gabriel despised angel radio, mostly because focusing on it when you were out of practice was dreadful. Like a radio with interference or a human who was sound sensitive.

How to bring an archangel back from death 101. Ha. As if it was only this simple. Time to bed, you. You're getting brain fried already.

Who was getting brain fried over him?

Gabriel frowned in confusion. The Brad Pitt look-alike was nowhere in sight. Ugh, where in the world--

woosh bumph thump

-- was that his vessel falling as ungracefully as a goddamn bloody banana?

Could his return be even more ridiculous? He bet when Cassie came back the seraph graciously fell in his vessel’s legs like a perfect cheetah cat. The damn traitor. Why couldn't Cas be as clumsy as he?

And Dad above, he missed that seraph. So much it ached in his vessel’s bones. He got up, his eyes falling on the empty road. A faraway car made its presence known as it drove past him to the sound of Angel With a Shotgun, the volume bordering the sound barrier.

Amused, Gabriel dusted his jeans, only to roll his eyes at his own antics, and snapping his fingers, changing back to his favorite pair of sneakers, leather green jacket, brown shirt and washed jeans. Ah, much better.

Surely you knew I was--

I was what? In love? Head over heels? Infatuated? Honestly, Sam, it's a blessing Dean can't hear your thoughts, otherwise… endless material for teasing.

Gabriel took flight, six giant golden wings gracing the sky, cutting through clouds, the moisture of water touching his feathers. In a flap of wings, he landed easily behind the bunker. It was quiet inside, which was odd. He was expecting a buzzing of people, but as he allowed his hearing to pick up, he only caught four heartbeats: Dean, Cas, Jack, and Sam. Where was everyone?

"Hey, Gabe. How is your night today? I know this is getting boring already, but I did promise to tell you about things here until we got you back, so, here goes nothing," Sam started, his voice low and worn out.

"The otherworld hunters have left. I mean, they’re still here, but not in here anymore." Gabriel heard him sigh and could easily see Sam running his fingers through his hair in frustration. "What I meant was -- and this is a testification to my tiredness -- is that they left the bunker. And I can't for the life of me get used to this silence. Before, their constant bickering and buzzing drove me insane, but now the silence is deafening. Even Rowena, who I always cared for, no matter her faults, drove me mad. Though, regarding her, I was painfully jealous. She had a memory of you to cherish and hold dear, while all of our memories together are somehow stained with blood, mistrust, and tears. This taciturnity is driving me slowly towards insanity. It's like those minutes where I wanted to scream your name and run towards you and I couldn't-- couldn't…" Sam's voice broke in a strangled cry and Gabriel didn’t stop his grace from reacting, flying faster than a blink of an eye towards Sam.

"Sam," Gabriel murmured, invading Sam's personal space and enveloping the larger man into his arms and wings. It took a moment for Sam's brain to catch on, but the second it did, he buried himself into Gabriel's chest, allowing his warmth to course through his limbs, and his honeyed smell to wash away his fears.

“You’re not some sort of delusion of mine, are you?” Gabriel chuckled, the sound reverberating through his chest, pouring into Sam’s body and reaching into his soul.

“Thanks to your stubbornness, I’m a 100% powered archangel, and I’m afraid The Empty doesn't take returns.” Sam had tears tainting his cheeks, his eyes were red and his clothes had clearly seen better days. Gabriel kissed his temple, knowing Sam needed the reassurance of his touch, using the bit of grace to change the boy's clothes to comfy pajamas and clean his room of the mess it had been made with cups of coffee, dirty clothes over that particular armchair everyone in the planet seemed to own, and overused sheets.

Sam relaxed in his embrace, almost falling asleep cocooned inside Gabriel's wings, his fingers lightly brushing one of them, "Samish?"

The archangel had maneuvered them into a more comfortable position in Sam's bed. The boy was draped over him like an overgrown octopus. Sam hummed in response, his eyelids heavy with the soft caress of Gabriel's fingers through his hair.

"You surely must have known that I love you too, kiddo," Gabriel confessed, hugging Sam tighter and save in his wings.

Sam woke up feeling better than ever. His hair was all over the place like a bird's nest, his cupcake pajamas and fluffy white socks caring him towards the kitchen, the promise of coffee and bacon allowing to push the sweet dream in the deep corners of his mind. Gabriel's warmth and perfume still lingered in his mind if it were corporeal, Sam swore he would have been able to touch it.

"Dean? Cas?" He called, as he passed through closed doors, and even if it was around nine in the morning, Dean usually made a lot more noise singing and chit-chatting with Jack or Cas.

Could it have been real? Sam dared to hope.

"Samshine!! How are you in this fine morning?" Gabriel greeted him, his smile as shining as the sun.

"Gabe--" he exhaled, surprised.

"What's gonna be, Sammoose? Pancakes, cereal, orange juice or would rather have a kiss first?" The archangel teased him, moving an eyebrow suggestively.

Sam ignored Gabriel's antics walking straight towards him and pulling him into a hug, every part of them touching each other. Gabriel could hear the hunter's heartbeat slowing down as he relaxed in the archangel's embrace. "I--"

"I know Sam. Question is, do you?" Gabriel asked him, moving slightly so his hand rested on Sam's left cheek as the other rested in the curve of the hunter's back.

"Do I, what?"

"How much I love you, you self righteous dumbass, you bibliophile, you Dad perfect hair--"

Sam didn't need another invitation to claim the archangel's lips and that's how Dean found them two minutes later, mumbling about being scarred for life, grabbing little brothers and sneaky tiny archangel's.

Cas did everyone a favor and kissed him senseless too, Jack smiled at the scene when he popped in the kitchen to robbed three cookies while one was already shoved in his mouth unceremoniously. All was right in his world.

Roleplay Server Log #391

“Mining, Griefing, Black Stuff, Inturuptus, Flirting Dragons”

[CP] Groans in irritation as he flicks a fire ball at a creeper that gets a little too close to the two mining Steve's. He just simply wants to get home and has already has to wait through TLOT talking to his followers in Kore-

[Steve] Woo, thanks Cp.

[TLOT] Comes up from a lower tunnel covered in rock dust- I found a ravine. I haven't lit it up, but I can see well enough to spot some nice ores in the walls.

[CP] - Do we really have to get every piece by hand?

[Stevie] - Brother you're not even helping to dig...

[TLOT] How do you think I found the ravine? I got down to the first decent sized cavern and used a dragon shape to dig with claws. Mix gave me the idea.

[Steve] I could feel you scuffling around down there.

[TLOT] It doesn't hurt you to help Cp. Besides, you're getting to hit lots of things.

[CP] - But I don't want to be here

[TLOT] I thought we were all bonding today.

[Steve] Yeah, don't be a stick in the mud.

[CP] Flips all of them off-

[Stevie] - I think he's just mostly worried about Aether

[TLOT] Aether is fine. You worry too much. Stevie, do you at least want to see it?

[Steve] I want to see!

[TLOT] I know you do. It's hard to get you to stop digging!

[Stevie] - Sure! And I think he's worried because this is the longest he's been away from her since she's been born

[CP] Decides to just tackle his brother-

[TLOT] Is the horseplay necessary?

[Stevie] Scrambles to get away-

[CP] - Oh shut up TLOT!

[Steve] Play fight! - he jumps on Cp's back and messes up his hair- giggling wildly.

[TLOT] Sometimes I feel like the only adult in the room...

[CP] Punches Steve in the face- FUCK OFF!

[Stevie] Finally manages to push CP off-

[Steve] is punched in the eye and flops back- you play too rough...

[TLOT] Can we not?

[CP] - I'm not playing!

[Steve] Looked like wrestling to me... - he tosses a little piece of coal at Cp and it leaves a black mark on his shirt.

[CP] Growls-

[Stevie] - Come on, let's get to that ravine

[TLOT] You're the only one who can fly in a human shape Cp. It'll go much quicker if you help.

[CP] Grumbles and watches as Stevie looks through his inventory-

[Stevie] - Well you may just end up carrying stuff anyways brother, I only have about five slots left, six if I run out of torches

[TLOT] See? It won't be much longer.

[Steve] Has a black eye now - He always has to make everything little thing into a big deal...

[CP] - Says the one who sticks his nose into everything

[Steve] Like you aren't nosy as fuck.

[Stevie] Hoists his pick over his shoulder- Ready?

[TLOT] Don't fight with him. He's just trying to be annoying so we'll tell him to go home.

[CP] Just jabs at TLOT mentally-

[TLOT] Yes, I can feel that. You know I'm even stronger here then I am on the server. You gonna poke me with a stick next?

[CP] - If it helps me then yes

[TLOT] It will not help.

[Steve] Come on Stevie. Lets go look. - then more quietly- Cp's curious. He'll get bored and follow.

[Stevie] Nods and follows the other Steve to the ravine and glances over the edge-

[CP] Slight moment of panic remembering the last time he saw Stevie near a ravine-

[TLOT] Starts making a path down to the bottom-

[Steve] Is laying torches and gradually lighting the space. There are plenty of different ores in the wall and even a few fossils.

[Stevie] - So what do we go for first? More iron or something else?

[Steve] I brought a half trunk for fossils. They can really fill up your inventory fast. Just grab anything and pass it if you don't have room.

[TLOT] That's a very dark floor... I wonder if it's obsidian?

[Stevie] - Got it- He starts digging

[CP] Looks over the edge- No, I don't think that's obsidian...

[TLOT] It's very shiny. - He works his way down. - It's cold down here too.

-Above them a few bats squeak from perches unseen-

[Steve] Found a little gold and makes a happy noise as he removes it.

[CP] Just flies down and lands on the dark substance-

-It's packed ice. Dirty gray in the darkness. -

[TLOT] Gets down as well. - No wonder it's so cold. - He taps away at a block and it drops a frozen fish-

[CP] - Should I just melt all of it?

[TLOT] If you want too? You never know what's in it. - He backs off to stand on some stone near the wall.

[CP] Erupts into flames and starts melting everything-

-There are a lot of items and water left on the floor. Cooked fish, chunks of fossil bone and a lot of black globs the size of a sugar drop.

[TLOT] Picks one of the black chunks up and suddenly flings it away in shock-

[Steve] Runs to him- What is it???

[TLOT] Something bad... that's all I remember....

[CP] - Should I burn it?

[TLOT] No... no more fire.... I think I need to sit down for a minute...

[Stevie] - Hey! I think we're under some extreme hills!

[Steve] How come? Are there moss cobbles or something?

[Stevie] - Emeralds!

[Steve] Makes sure TLOT is okay and goes to look at Stevie's find- sweet!

[TLOT] Sits on a block and smiles at the two Steve's slightly above them - So easy to make them happy...

[CP] Scoffs- There are better things to look for

[TLOT] Cocks his head at Cp curiously. - What would you rather collect Cp?

[CP] His thoughts flicker towards his wife and child before he actually speaks- None of your business

[TLOT] Family? I mean it's a noble goal, but that's not really what I was asking. I guess one can never have too many friends either.

[CP] - I never had to mine for anything really after I became like this

[TLOT] Gently - I know. But you never had a favorite when you did? Or was it mainly you fretting while your little brother hunted for treasure?

[CP] - There was nothing too mine but stone TLOT

[TLOT] Sorry. I keep forgetting how early on you spawned. Though... it's becoming apparent I've forgotten a lot of things.

[CP] - No shit... So any idea what the black stuff actually is?

[TLOT] I want to say it's flammable... But it's just... sticky and bad. Like suffocating.

[CP] Glances at the blob, seriously considering setting it alight-

[Stevie] - Hey! My inventory is almost full!

[Steve] Mines just about full too.

-There's a wet squelching noise from the still dark part of the ravine.

[TLOT] Eyes go very wide - I-

[CP] Pulls out his sword- Mine!- Rushes towards the noise

[TLOT] Cp.... don't! - He scrambles to his feet - Cp! Stay away from it!!!!

-The noise is a massive black slime-

[CP] Sets his sword on fire and digs it into the creature-

-His vision is blotted out as the slime erupts into smaller slimes and black mess that's also catching fire-

[CP] Sets himself on fire to keep himself safe-

[TLOT] Just get away from it! We're here to protect our Steves, remember?

-Too many bouncing flaming slimes-

[CP] - Maybe you! My wife gave me permission to murder!

[Stevie] Calls down- What's going on down there!?

[TLOT] Rushes up to them - Monster! - He's a bit shaky-

[Steve] Looks over the edge- HOLY SHIT.

[CP] Is using his other senses to figure out where the other slimes are as he stabs them-

-Slimes bouncing everywhere, but they are getting smaller. One bounces up the steps towards the others, still on fire-

[Steve] screams-

[Stevie] Just stabs it with some ice-

[Slime] Is stabbed and leaves a few of the black droplets behind-

[TLOT] Avoids them- Cp???

[CP] - What!?

[Steve] Well I guess he's not in any danger. He just sounds annoyed.

[TLOT] It looks like the Nether down there!

-The bottom of the ravine is strewn with flaming slimes and burning bits of tar-

[CP] - Not firey enough for that

[TLOT] It's a hellacious mess...

[Steve] Those things are gross!

[CP] Kills off the last few slimes but is still blinded-

[TLOT] Gingerly comes back down and dumps some water on the floor to sweep away the last of the fire. - Cp? Are you hurt? [There's black stuff on his face and TLOT can't see his eyes]

[CP] - Blinded, but otherwise okay...

[TLOT] He picks up the water source block into the bucket again and presses it into Cp's free hand - try washing it off?

[CP] - I don't think that will work... This stuff is really sticky...

[TLOT] Time for a lava bath I guess. There was a hot spot farther up in the tunnel. - He touches Cp's wrist - I'll lead you if you need help-

[CP] Growls-

[Stevie] Watches, a bit nervous for his brother-

[TLOT] Was that a 'don't help me' growl a 'don't touch me' growl or a general 'I hate you' growl?

[CP] - Take your pick

[TLOT] Come on - He tugs on Cp lightly.

[Steve] Likewise tugs on Stevie - I know where the hot spot is. I'll show you a trick for getting at it safely-

[Stevie] - Okay?

[CP] Grumpily lets TLOT lead him-

[Steve] Searches around until he gets the nod from his hubby at the exact spot. He puts down a row of cobbles in front of the wall and takes out one block from the wall while standing as far back as possible. He breathes a little sigh of relief as the first block doesn't spill anything out.

[TLOT] It's a little farther back...

[Steve] I know, but I don't want to flood the room.

[Stevie] - Need any help?

[Steve] No, it's okay. - He keeps leaning over the low wall and picking outward as far as he can go without moving into the space. Before long hehits the hot pool and the makeshift space fills with lava as he skips back out of habit. - See? Pretty safe.

[Stevie] - Well yeah, but kinda slow...

[Steve] Meh. Just use a better tool if you're feeling impatient. I find hurrying and lava don't mix well.

[TLOT] Leads Cp over to the pool and puts one of his fingers in it.

[CP] Just climbs in-

[TLOT] That works too. Should relax you a bit at least.

[Steve] Gets distracted by a bit of fossil block he missed and picks at a wall. -

[CP] Scrubs at his face with the lava, but the substance is being stubborn-

[TLOT] Is hunting around for something scrubby that might help-

[Steve] Also blocks off the way back down to the ravine with waste cobbles- Those things were so creepy...

[CP] - Mostly just annoying- His glow is starting to be visible again

[TLOT] Perhaps it was trapped in the ice?

[CP] - Haven't your testificates mentioned something about a black sticky substance? Could this be that stuff?

[Stevie] Is working with a small amount of ice in his hands-

[TLOT] You're right... Do you think it's something unnatural?

[CP] - Or it could be something from that mod Jeb installed...

[TLOT] If it is, what an awful thing to put it the game intentionally.

[Steve] Shudders- If someone fell in that stuff....

[TLOT] It would be deadly.

[CP] - That's part of the appeal of mods, to give new challenges and rewards- Finally gets all the stuff off of his face-

[TLOT] Is a bit annoyed in general- People who make mods don't live here either.

[CP] - That could be fixed

[TLOT] I know you could. I think that would be a tad counterproductive though. Besides, you're supposed to be practicing being a good example. You are a dad now.

[CP] - Yeah but my kid is still a brine, gotta teach her how to grief as well

[TLOT] She's a kid. Kids are naturally troublemakers. I don't think she'll need much help.

[Steve] Poor Lie. She's gonna be run ragged.

[CP] - Which is why I should be there

[TLOT] She has Notch with her. She'll be okay for now. - pauses- Now there's a string of words that shouldn't be nearly as comforting as it is.

[CP] Glares-

[TLOT] What? It's not like mine wasn't a horrific murderous bastard either.

[Steve] Good riddance to bad NOTCHs.

[Stevie] - Agreed

[Steve] Looks over at Cp- I'd give you a sponge, but I think it would just catch fire.

[CP] - I'm fine, I think I got most of it

[TLOT] Good. I think we deserve a breather to dump our inventories before we hit the other seed. - glances- And Cp can check on his wife and daughter.

[CP] - Who says I'm going anywhere else with you fuckers?

[TLOT] Oh shush, you didn't say you weren't either. The other seed should be less trecherous anyway. A literal cake-walk.

[CP] - And a little too pastel as well

[Steve] smiles- At least it tastes good.

[TLOT] Do you have a lot of experience with texture packs Stevie?

[Stevie] Shakes his head- No, brother would just make fresh seeds, there were no texture packs

[TLOT] Glances at Cp- Considering that going to modded seeds might have given you new mobs to recruit. I'm a bit suprised.

[CP] - They wouldn't have transferred to non modded seeds well, especially if the new seeds were a later update

[TLOT] You never know. The dragons have fitted in decently well.

[CP] Flips TLOT off-

[Stevie] - Well we should be going, should we just head to the surface?

[TLOT] Shrugs - I'm ready when you guys are. Can you see okay Cp? You had me worried there.

[CP] - I'm fine

[Steve] Then come on.

[TLOT] Heads up the tunnel, just trusting Cp will follow.

[Stevie] Makes sure he sticks close to Steve just so his brother will have a harder time attacking-

[CP] Grumbles but does follow them up-

[Steve] Emerges into the sun with a smile and stretches. - what a lovely day. - he swats a little grass and picks up the seeds before popping one in his mouth.

[TLOT] ????

[Stevie] - Um... Steve?

[Steve] Hmmm? Oh you want some? Buff eats them and I got curious. They don't taste like much, but they're pleasantly crunchy. [TLOT] Buff seems to have no taste buds either. Blech.

[Stevie] - No [CP] - Don't you know that eating them raw will cause wheat to grow in your stomach?

[Steve] Eyes go wide- thats not true! Seeds need dirt to grow and I don't eat dirt!

[CP] - I wouldn't be so sure about that, I've seen plants germinate without dirt before

[TLOT] Maybe irl. But not here, he's just trying to scare you my lamb. More griefing practice.

[CP] - Do you have proof that I'm lying?

[Steve] If it was true Buff would have exploded by now!

[CP] - Are you sure the seeds he eats are raw?

[Steve] Yes! Besides, Doc's chickens would have exploded too!

[CP] - Chickens are designed to eat those seeds, we're not

[TLOT] Do you ever get tired of being mean to people?

[CP] - Nope

[Stevie] - I can attest to that

[Steve] ... - just frowning

[Stevie] - You do realize we can just tell Lie, right?

[CP] - You do realize she prefers me griefing than killing, right?

[Steve] I'm not tattling to his wife that he was being mean to me. I'm not a little kid.

[Stevie] - Your call

[TLOT] he's just being snarky

[CP] - Can we go now?

[TLOT] You're the one that stopped walking. Lead on if you're finished tormenting my Steve. - He takes Steve's hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze.

[CP] Grumbles but does move on-

[TLOT] Opens the path back to the cage right in front of Cp so he just walks into it.

[CP] Flips them off and closes it behind him-

[Steve] Hey!

[TLOT] Just shakes his head.

[Stevie] Sighs- Of course

[TLOT] It's not like I actually need his help, and you know what? He does worry about you. I have an idea. We're not going back just yet. He can go sulk and wonder. I saw a little village that direction.

[Steve] Never thoguht I'd be so happy to hang out with Testificates. Come on Stevie. - pulls him a little.

[Stevie] - Okay?

[TLOT] Good enough for me. - He just moseys along following them. It's a nice afternoon and shady amidst the trees.

[Steve] Bursts out of the cover onto the little path and stops for a sec. - Aw sweet!

-There's a little bit of commotion and a few villagers run for an elder while others watch them curiously. It's a fishing village with a lot of little pools of water laid out with gravel blocks near the shore.

[Steve] - I promise I don't have the frostwalker boots with me...

[TLOT] Strides forward as their leader approaches. They're a pair of fem Testificates that look like sisters. The three exchange greetings and talk softly amidst themselves.

[Steve] I hope they don't mind if we use their pools. I'm a mess.

[Stevie] - Yeah, just a bit. Not as bad as brother was though

[TLOT] Comes back with a handful of watermelon slices- I traded them some metal just for the sake of diplomacy. They don't care if we use the water, lets go have a snack and cool off.

[CP] Climbs back up into the yard, searching for his wife-

[Lie] Is inside talking with Notch while Aether lays on a blanket playing with one of her toys-

[Notch] Eye's him- Did you have fun at least? It looks like you were playing in the mud.

[CP] - Oh shut up

[Lie] - CP you're a mess!

[CP] - Would you believe me if I said this was cleaner?

[Notch] Then playing in the mud? Did you get what you needed at least? And where's Stevie?

[CP] - … Still on TLOT's seed?

[Notch] I thought you were supposed to be keeping him safe?

[CP] - TLOT's still with him, he's fine

[Notch] Still looks annoyed. - Tha was rather irresponsible. Did you at least tell them you were going?

[CP] - TLOT's the one that made the portal right in front of me!- He crouches down to tickle Aether's chin a little

[Notch] Oh, all right...

[Lie] Stands up- Notch? Do you mind watching Aether for a bit? I'm going to finish cleaning my husband up...

[Notch] Sure. I'll keep an eye on her. - He settles down on the floor next to her.

[Lie] Takes CP's hand and leads him towards the bathhouse-

[Aether] Happy noises at Notch-

[Lie] Leads CP towards the bathhouse. Inside it's warm and she parts the vines that separate the lava tub from the other ones. Once the vines close behind them Lie turns towards her husband and draws him into a kiss- Come on, let's get you cleaned up- She takes a step back and starts stripping her clothes off

[CP] Watches his wife in the glow of the lava as the fabric slides off of her body. He grabs his own shirt and pulls it off before working at his belt-

[Lie] Beckons him towards the lava as she steps in. She knows it will be hell to get the lava out of her hair later, but right now she doesn't mind. She shivers a little as her husband stalks closer, his aura suggesting a hunt before he pounces on her, pulling her down father into the lava causing her to yelp

[CP] Chuckles at the noise his wife makes and runs his hands along her body, feeling every curve and divot- Mm, what to do with you...

[Lie] Cock's a brow- With me? You mister are the one who needs cleaning up

[CP] Leans down to nuzzle against her neck and nips her lightly- Doesn't mean there isn't room for fun as well

[Lie] - CP we can't just leave Aether with your father for that long on such short notice!

[CP] Lifts Lie up and she instinctively wraps her legs around him- Love, we were interrupted earlier and I've spent the past day with some of the most annoying people

[Lie] Huffs a little- That still doesn't mean we have the time, but you do make a good point as well, you have been very well behaved...

[CP] Grins as he gropes Lie's ass- Then let's do something

[Lie] - Alright, alright, but first we need to get you clean

This message has been removed.

[Buff] huffing and puffing a bit, walks through the door without looking and takes a bucket of water from the cold pool-

[CP] Is currently the only one visible and stiffens as he hears the NOTCH behind him-

[Buff] Noisy slurp and ahhhhh-

[CP] - Fuck off!

[Buff] Actually jumps in suprise, spilling the bucket on the floor- Huh???

[CP] Tosses a fireball over his shoulder- Go away!

[Buff] Has grabbed the bucket and swings it up so the fireball goes into the wet metal container and fizzles out with a huge cloud of steam- Woah!

[Lie] Pops up from under the lava- CP... BUFF!?- She turns bright red and sinks lower into the lava

[Buff] Oh dear! I'm sorry!

[CP] Groans and rubs his face- For fucks sake, thanks a lot jackass!

[Buff] I just wanted a drink. I didn't mean to intrude on anything.

[CP] - Yeah well now you've ended it!- He run a hand over Lie's hair, melting away the lava that had hardened there

[Buff] I'll just go -

[CP] Growls as Buff leaves-

[Lie] Pops up a bit higher once Buff is gone- I can't believe that just happened...

[CP] - With our luck lately? Of course it did...

[Blake] Runs in before Buff can close the door and leaps into the cold pool, paddling around happily.

[Lie] Sighs- Help me out?

[CP] - Yeah yeah- He climbs out and then helps his wife out, running his hands over her to remove the hardened bits of obsidian on her, he himself is still hard but his wife comes first

[Lie] Frowns- Was... Was Buff drinking our cold water bath?

[CP] - Yes

[Lie] - Why?

[CP] - No idea

{Lie] - Do you need me to...

[CP] - No, I'll deal with it. Get dressed, Aether's probably going to be hungry soon anyways

[Lie] - If you're sure...

[CP] - Go

[Lie] - Alright- She tosses her clothes on- Come on Blake, I should probably feed you too...

[Pinwheel] Is flying around. She had another growth spurt and her height was around that of a horse now but several times as long. She's scanning the ground for a familiar red shape-

[Crim] - loafing under a tree, snoring & oblivious to the world -

[Pinwheel] Dives and pounces Crim- Cri!

[Crim] - hears cry and opens one eye - Pinwheels?

[Pinwheel] Slams into him, not quite able to stop in time-

[Crim] - rolls and wraps as many legs around her, tucking close. When they stop tumbling, he slowly releases her, searching for injuries - Are you hurts?!

[Pinwheel] - No, I'm okay. Are you okay?

[Crim] - gives her one more look over, then stumbles to his feet, yawning - Yea, Crim is fine, fine. Takes more than tumbles to hurts.

[Pinwheel] - Good. Where has Cri been? I hadn't seen you in awhile

[Crim] - looks guilty - Sleeping. Lots of sleeps.

[Pinwheel] - Is you okay? Silver hair lady says too much sleep can be bad...

[Crim] - shrugs - I feel fine, just very tired, so I sleep. What has you been doings?

[Pinwheel] - Exploring, and avoiding Splendy's house. There too many people there...

[Crim] - does full-body cat-like stretche and head shake - Too many people?

[Pinwheel] - Yeah, there's Splendy, the female one, and his brother! Oh and the little girl

[Crim] - counts on his claws and shakes head - No wonders, I wouldn't want to stay around so many... Me tail would be flat.

[Pinwheel] - I know, that's why I'm staying with silver hair lady

[Crim] - Thought there were more here. Too many, that's why I like to go out past water, only a few out there.

[Pinwheel] Shrinks back a little- Water is bad...

[Crim] Only if you touch. There is bridge. It's safe, the people on it usually leaves me be. Plus, I dug tunnel deep under... Takes longer that way, but never even see water that way.

[Pinwheel] - Last time we were in dark I got hurt...

[Crim] - cringes - I know. I still sorry that happen. But now, I has... LIGHT! - several lines of yellowish light flicker down his sides.

[Pinwheel] - True, and I have better bite now too

[Crim] Oh yes, your bite is scary good. Others do best to never annoys you.

[Pinwheel] - Good!

[Crim] - plops down with a smile - So, whacha wanna go does?

[Pinwheel] - Mmmm, I suppose we could try the tunnel...

[Crim] We can... you needs anything before we goes?

[Pinwheel] - Nope! I can get my own food from void now!

[Crim] - You can? That's new, but very good! No more being hungry. - jumps up and darts forward - Okay, then comes. Start place for tunnel, not too far away.

[Pinwheel] - Okay!- She eagerly follows

Crim leads them to a thick stand of trees. At the base of an oak, there is a dark hole leading down into the ground. Crim gives Pinwheel a quick smile before dropping into the hole. There's a soft thud and a yellow glow fills the opening.

[Crim] Come down, is safe.

[Pinwheel] Cautiously looks in the hole and lowers herself gently her scales reflecting Crim's light- It's a little small in here, but I skinny, I will be fine- Her tail is still sticking out the hole

[Crim] Sorry if tight, it gets bigger soon. I found out hard way, if I make dirt tunnel too big, sometimes it falls in. No fun. - slowly works his way forward.

[Pinwheel] - Oh no!

[Crim] Is ok, this tunnel I made sure no fall. Stone is up aheads. - cranks up light to show a random patch of stone -

[Pinwheel] - Good, I don't want you to get hurt

[Crim] - hums as he exits out into a slightly larger area made of stone, big enough they can stand. There are two dark passages leading off.

[Pinwheel] - Which way do we go?

This message has been removed.

[Crim] Dis way, the other is backdoor exit. - heads into the right tunnel.

[Pinwheel] Follows closely, sniffing the walls occasionally-

[Crim] - humming to himself softly until they get to a section where there is a wooden beam in the middle of the tunnel. When he sees that, he goes quiet.

[Pinwheel] - Cri? Everything okay?

[Crim] - holds a finger up, tilting his head as if listening.

[Pinwheel] Takes to listening as well, her mouth opening slightly in case she needs to strike at something-

[Crim] - moves forward slowly. A few more steps and a soft skittering sound makes him freeze.

[Pinwheel] Quietly- I bites?

[Crim] May need too, are many many, might be easier to sneak by.

[Pinwheel] - You lead, you can see

[Crim] - dims his glow slightly and creeps forward. As they near the beam, a very small spider scuttles out into the tunnel.

[Pinwheel] Strikes quickly, she's learned how to ration her venom a little so it isn't used as quickly anymore-

[Crim] - smiles watching the spider go down faster than it could make a sound. Listening, there is no more noise other than them - Go, should be clear.

[Pinwheel] - Look, left another eye for you!

[Crim] - carefully grabs the little floating eye as he passes - Thankies

[Pinwheel] - Let's go! Get out from under the water!

[Crim] - darts forward and lets his glow return - Yeap, let's go, go!

[Pinwheel] Trots after him, her tail occasionally nicking the wall a little, nothing that could cause damage later though-

- they travel a good bit before the tunnel opens up into a much larger cavern -

[Pinwheel] Takes the moment to stretch her wings a little- How close are we?

[Crim] - is sniffing around - Not far, we are half way there, it is more open from here till we get to end. There may be more mobs.

[Pinwheel] A bit proudly- I can take of them!

[Crim] Yes, but are Creepers. If they blow, could trap us apart. Just need to watch. - finally finds what was sniffing for, there is a faint trail of scratch marks on the walls.

[Pinwheel] - Maybe we can get others to put lights here, then no mobs?

[Crim] Oh, good idea. I has much coal, just need them to gets wood.

[Pinwheel] - Yeah! But that can be later, we should keep going

[Crim] Yeah, not to far - points off toward a dark section.

[Pinwheel] - Let's go then, I not exactly meant to be underground...

[Crim] Yea, I don't mind caves, just no like dark - scales start glowing brightly -

[Pinwheel] Nudges Crim's side- But you have very pretty glowies

[Crim] - trill purs then heads into the dark -

[Pinwheel] Follows and is soon able to smell fresh air-

[Crim] We must be close to end. - the tunnel narrows and gets to be tight, but it's still stone -

[Pinwheel] - I hope I fit through...

[Crim] - stops and looks her over, then the tunnel - Let me dig some more out to make sure. You should but not want you scrape feathers. You need them good to fly.

[Pinwheel] Shrugs a little- They fall out anyways

[Crim] - starts digging out another block width on the side - Yes, but no need to damage the good ones. Won't take long.

[Pinwheel] - Okay- She loafs to wait patiently

[Crim] - digs away the stone, letting it fall & despawn. It takes a bit, but he finishes widening the tunnel in no time. Cranking up his glow, he waves at her - Should be big enough now!

[Pinwheel] Creeps forwards into the tunnel, finding that her wings do not touch the side- Better, thank you

[Crim] - smiles - We almost out, then you can stretch your wings.

[Pinwheel] - Good, you can stretch too

[Crim] More like nap. Being bright tires me out. - tries to stifle a yawn -

[Pinwheel] - Then we will lay next to each other, I can still stretch my wings, just over you

[Crim] - purs - Feathers warm and soft. Almost better than lava. - up ahead the tunnel is beginning to lighten -

[Pinwheel] - Of course!

[Crim] Look, we are at end! - runs toward the light. The tunnel ends in a rough stone & dirt staircase up to a hole several blocks up. Blue sky and leaves can be seen.

[Pinwheel] Slips out and stretches, her feather spreading and catching the light on their soft pastel colors- Good to be outside!

[Crim] - climbs out after, doing a full body shake - Ah... Much better. See, we are safe past the water.

[Pinwheel] - Yes! Will remember this if I ever have to come over here again! Should we find soft spot?

[Crim] - yawns as his glow fades away - Yes. Need nap.

[Pinwheel] Searches around for a bit and scratches at the ground until she finds a suitable spot, She lays down and lifts her wing for Crim- Here we goes

[Crim] - wanders over and plops down, snuggling against her. He starts to pur - Thankies. Nap, then we go - yawn - explore.

[Pinwheel] - Of course- She lowers her wing over Crim and curls around him herself

Patience Is Most Befitting 💚

Benefit: I'm Stressed Out. I'm Angry. I've Had Enough. I'm Going to Explode!! Written by Dirie Beyle on 28 June 2010. Posted in Brief Benefits In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy  All praise is due to Allāh. May the al-Ṣalāh and the Salām be upon Prophet Muḥammad, his family, his companions and all those who follow him in goodness until the Day of Recompense, as to what proceeds: Indeed, the life of the Dunyā is one of toil and struggle for the believer up until the time when he meets his Lord. It is for this reason that Allāh has enjoined patience upon His slaves and has made it such an integral part of the religion of al-Islām. The All- Knowing, the All-Wise, has mentioned patience more than 90 times in the Qurʾān, from them is His, the Most High, statement: "And say not of those who are killed in the Way of Allāh, 'They are dead.' Nay, they are living, but you perceive (it) not. (154) And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to al- Ṣabirīn (the patient ones, etc.)." [Al-Baqarah 2:154-155] And His Statement: "By al-ʿAṣr (the time). (1) Verily! Man is in loss, (2) Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth (i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al-Maʿruf) which Allāh has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al-Munkar) which Allāh has forbidden), and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allāh's Cause during preaching His religion of Islamic Monotheism or Jihad, etc.). (3)" [Sūrah-'ʿAṣr: 103-1-3] In the first of the above two passages from Allāh's Glorious Book, Allāh informs His slaves of the sure fact that they will be tried and tested. However, it should be known that the objective of Allāh's tests and trials is not for Him, the All- Knowing of what is in the breasts, to acquire some knowledge about His slave that He didn't have. Rather, they are means by which He distinguishes the people of firm īmān from those who have weak or no īmān, the people of at-taqwá and love of Allāh from the disobedient ones. As Allāh says in His Book, "Alif-Lam-Mim. (1) Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested. (2) And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allāh will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allāh knows all that before putting them to test). (3)" [Sūrah al-ʿAnkabūt 29:1-3] The reality of this affair can be seen in the fact that when some Muslims are tested they are actually strengthened in their forbearance and reliance upon Allāh; while others are driven to despair and become disobedient to Allāh and His Messenger, ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam. This is from the deceptions of Shayṭān who threatens the slave with poverty and afterwards incites him to do what is unlawful to save himself from it. As Allāh says about him, "Shayṭān threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahsha (evil deeds, illegal sexual intercourse, sins etc.); whereas Allāh promises you Forgiveness from Himself and Bounty, and Allāh is All- Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower." [Sūrah al-Baqarah 2:268] In this second of these passages mentioned above (al-‘ʿAṣr 103:1-3), Allāh informs us that all of mankind is doomed except those who have the two qualities mentioned therein (a) īmān, which consist of belief in the heart, testification with the tongue and action with the limbs, and (b) patience. How are these two qualities related? ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib, may Allāh be pleased with him, said "Sabr (patience) is to īmān as the head is to the body; if the head is removed then the body will fall." Saying that, he raised his voice and proclaimed, "You cannot have faith without patience!" For this reason, al-Shāfiʿī said concerning Sūrah-‘ʿAṣr;"If Allāh had sent down upon his creation no other proof besides this Sūrah it would have sufficed them"1 After a brief introduction, I would like to share some of my personal experiences with my brothers and sisters in hope that they are benefited by them. And Allāh says, "Therefore, remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them). (9) The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allāh), (10)" [Sūrah-'Alā 87:9-10] I am a Muslim who, at the time of writing this article, is 34 years of age, and I have been in prison for the past twelve years. Due to a number of factors such as distance, frequent transfers, etc., I have not had a single visit from a family member over the course of the past twelve years. About half-way through my incarceration, I was faced with the calamity which every incarcerated person dreads, and that is the death of my mother with whom I was very close, as I am her only child just as she was her mother's only child. I myself have only one child whom I have not seen since I left the streets in 1998 except in pictures, and my contact with her has been sparse to say the least. Three of the past twelve years were spent on lock down at a maximum security prison in Marion IL, USA. These are some of my personal trials. As for the religious and general trials, then they are many, such as those who are abandoned by their wives or friends and family, the harassment by the correctional officers to the Muslims. In fact, today an officer went into a Muslim's cell under the premise of a "Shakedown” (a cell search for contraband, etc.) and took all of his Islamic books claiming that he had too many. He only left him with secular novels and a bible! The “shakedown” is what the officers use to antagonize the inmates who they don't like. So at any given time an officer may go into your room, search through your belongings, taking your personal items and having no respect for anything that belongs to the inmate. One may think that people in prison have it easy due to the fact that we get three meals a day and a free bed, however, the prison system serves pork almost on a regular basis, so if a Muslim doesn't have the support of his/her family, there will be a lot of hungry nights. But in spite of all this, and many other trails that I have declined to mention, some more significant than others, Allāh has made my incarceration a source of guidance and abundance of good. He has made my prison to be a University and my cell to be a place of worship and study, thereby increasing me in īmān and at-Tawakkul (trust) upon him. By Allāh, nothing has been taken from me except that Allāh has replaced it with that which is better. For I have seen individuals, both Muslims and non-Muslims, experience not even half the trials that I have endured, yet have twice the complaints. Indeed, some have even been driven to disobedience, apostasy from the religion or insanity. But a servant cannot be given a gift better and more abundant than patience. My dear friend and mentor, who is incarcerated in another prison, is currently serving a sentence of double life plus fifty!! ‘O Muslim, let this sink in, DOUBLE LIFE PLUS FIFTY. This means hypothetically (if Allāh doesn't decree his release), that if he were to die twice, he would have to come back and give the system 50 move years! But by Allāh, I have never seen a Muslim more upbeat; having more sincerity to Allāh, more love for Allāh, His Messenger, and the believers; more of a reminder of what the Salaf were upon and more patient. This is what I think of him and I praise no one over Allāh. So how bad is your situation? On the authority of Abū Hurayrah, from Allāh's Messenger, ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa- sallam, who said, “When one of you looks to one who has been favoured over him in wealth or appearance, let him look to one who is lower than himself as opposed to one who favoured over him"2 On the authority of Khabbāb, Allāh's Messenger, ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam said: “Amongst those who came before you, a man would be sawn in half, but that would not cause him to abandon his religion"3 I advise the Muslims to have patience for the sake of Allāh. Have patience and Allāh will compensate you. And know that with every hardship comes two reliefs, as Allāh said, "So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, (5) Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs). (6)" [al-Sharḥ 94:5-6] The scholars have explained that first relief comes when Allāh removes the hardship. The second comes in the hereafter when the slave meets Allāh and is rewarded for his patience. This is in addition to the fact that Allāh grants leadership to his slaves due to their patience and their firm faith, as Allāh says, "And We made from among them (Children of Israel), leaders, giving guidance under Our Command, when they were patient and used to believe with certainty in Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). (24)" [Sūrah al-Sajdah 32:24] As for my affair, indeed it is a blessed one; for patience is the fruit of proper belief in Allāh, the mighty majestic and his qadr. Due to it a slave knows that (a) nothing comes to him of good or evil except that which Allāh has decreed for him, (b) Allāh is in full control of all of the affairs, (c) that Allāh does not burden any soul beyond what it can bear. On the authority of Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqās, Allāh’s Messenger, ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam said, “The most severely tried amongst mankind are the Prophets; then those that are most like them, then those that are most like them. The people are tried according to their level of faith..." 4 So be patient with the trials of life, may Allāh bless you, and look for your reward with Allāh, the mighty and majestic. Put your trust in Allāh while acting within the legislated parameters. This is the path to success. May the prayers and peace be upon Muḥammad, his family and Companions, amīn. So be patient (O Muḥammad ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam). Verily, the Promise of Allāh is true, and ask forgiveness for your fault, and glorify the praises of your Lord in the Ashi (i.e. the time period after the mid noon till sunset) and in the Ibkar (i.e. the time period from early morning or sunrise till before mid noon) [it is said that, that means the five compulsory congregational Salat (prayers) or the 'ʿAṣr and Fajr prayers].

Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim Look Not To The Faults Of Others / How To Become Free Of Bad Character, Lecture by Sultan ul Awliya Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil Al Haqqani Q.S (Alyaa Rehma), lecture dated October 01, 1979, Turkey Our Grandshaykh is saying - his every advice is like ammo for guns, given to you to use against the enemy. But you are only taking them and making a stash. We are giving them to you for shooting; that is our intention. We are giving you shells for every range, some for nearby and some for the other side of the mountain. Yet our Grandshaykh is saying: "I can't find anyone to keep my advices." I hope you may keep his advice. Our Grandshaykh is asking, what is that which Allah and his Prophet don't like? You must know, and when knowing, keep far away from it. He answers that it is to look after a person's faults. Allah has prohibited this. It is a big sin and the worst action a person can make. You also have faults everyone has so many and you have a responsibility for those faults in the Divine Presence. So why are you looking at the faults of others; you must eliminate your own. When one is looking to the faults of another, the respect we have for him or her in our heart disappears, and the love toward that person is extinguished. Therefore, it is prohibited. Everyone has so many faults, that if we were looking at them, all would become enemies to one another. It causes separation of the Community and then comes Satan to capture us. Sufism calls for such actions as bring love and strong relations between people, to protect from badness and give power to faith. Therefore, we are ordered to worship together, so that our faith will grow stronger. Our Grandshaykh says we must be careful that Satan does not make our worship unacceptable. It is unacceptable when we are asking for any rewards. We must ask for our Lord's pleasure only. When all the ego's desires are finished, then one is a servant of the Lord. To look for some reward for worshipping is like idol worship, it is a secret form of polytheism. Sincerity is to ask only your Lord's service. So many people are worshipping and then doing what their ego demands. This means that they are servants of Allah and of Satan. It is a dangerous way. Until we become clean of bad character we can't be free of Satan, this world, our egos, and vain desires. Until you become fully aware for each you make with your foot, whether that step is on the right way or the wrong way, you remain in need of alignment in your heart. You must know and be awake to where you are putting your foot. One second's heedlessness may be cause a dangerous accident. Therefore, we are always in need to repeat the word of Testification, to put us on the right way. Until we become free of bad character, we cannot attain to real faith; and without real faith, then there is no real life, the life that is forever. Whoever realizes real faith in this world will live on in the tomb, his body not turning to dust. That is a sign from God that he or she has reached true life. How is it possible to save ourselves from bad character? A bad charecteristic is pride. Satan was thrown out of the Divine Presence for his pride. If a person is not humble enough to accept another to teach him lessons, he is proud. You must have a Sufi Teacher to show you how to apply the Divine Ordinances to yourself. He learned from his Shaykh how to use Shariah on himself. There can be no surgeon who hasn't witnessed a surgery performed, but learned only from books. Al Fatiha

4 forgotten principles of usability testing

Over the years, I’ve sat through dozens of usability testing run by design agencies. Clients have asked me to oversee the tests to make sure that the agency really puts their design through its paces. This is a good thing as it shows that usability testing is now becoming a mainstream activity in the design community. But many of the usability tests I’ve sat through have been so poorly designed that it’s difficult to draw any meaningful conclusions from them. No wonder that

Fast Company mistakenly believe that user centred design doesn’t work

.Picture a usability testIf I ask you to picture one of these usability tests, you’ll probably conjure an image of a participant behind a one-way mirror, with video cameras and screen recording software. Although your picture would be accurate, there’s something missing: the hand of an experimental psychologist checking that other factors are in place behind the scenes. You need this guiding hand because the technology can often obscure the key goals and principles of usability testing. If I wear a white coat and dangle a stethoscope around my neck, it doesn’t make me a medic. Similarly, if I record a picture-in-picture video of someone using a web site, it doesn’t mean I’m running a usability test.Here are 4 principles of usability testing that have been absent in many of the tests I’ve observed.

Screen for behaviours not demographics.

Test the red routes.

Focus on what people do, not what they say.

Don’t ask users to redesign the interface.

Screen for behaviours not demographics

You’ll find that you won’t need to observe many people before you see that there’s a problem with the design of the door. It won’t matter if the people you observe are men or women, young or old, tall or short — virtually everyone will experience this problem. The ones that don’t experience the problem have probably used the door before, and know what to expect.

Instead, recruit users based on their behaviour: people’s previous experience with the domain that you’re testing. If you screen participants based on their demographic characteristics you’ll end up compromising on the kinds of domain knowledge you need. You’ll end up with a demographically representative, but behaviourally biassed, sample.what they sayLab-based usability tests use a small number of participants: 5 is a common sample size and more than 20 is rare. These small sample sizes work because

usability testing

focus on cognitive, problem solving behaviours and when it comes to how the brain works, people really aren’t that different from each other.Problems occur when usability testers shoehorn other research objectives into their usability tests. For example, questions like, ‘How much would you pay for this service?’, ‘What kind of brand values does this site elicit?’ or ‘What are your feelings about this design?’ are totally meaningless when asked in the context of a usability test. You might as well ask people who they will vote for at the next election: you’ll get an answer but the small sample size means it won’t have any predictive value. A more subtle kind of bias occurs when you ask participants to introspect on why they did a particular behaviour. user because people can’t reliably introspect into their motivations.Don’t ask users to redesign the interfaceWhen participants struggle with some aspect of the user interface, it’s very tempting to ask them how they would like it designed. But if design was that easy, we could all go home and leave it to participants to develop the next generation of user interfaces. So, after the participant has failed to choose the appropriate button, it’s frustrating to hear the moderator ask, ‘What would have made that button more obvious to you?’ The inevitable answer from the participant is, ‘Make it bigger,’ or even that old chestnut, ‘Make it a different colour.’Asking people to redesign things introduces solutions into a process that’s designed to find problems. Just when you had them in ‘problem mode’, this line of questioning shifts their thinking. It tends to close down promising investigative threads and opportunities and you then risk not properly understanding the problems. Once users are shown a solution, or are asked to think of one for themselves, they get fixated on it and they struggle to think of anything else. The truth is that participants don’t know what’s possible, and asking them to generate design solutions will make them focus on the blindingly obvious or get them to focus on solutions that may work in one context but may not work in yours.Conclusion: Avoid cargo cult usability testingThe physicist Richard Feynman once wrote about

user testing

where researchers adopt the paraphernalia of doing scientific activity but forget its core principles of empiricism, integrity and avoidance of bias. In the same way, people sometimes adopt the paraphernalia of usability testing, such as the one-way mirror and the video cameras, but forget the core principles of doing user research. Get those core principles right and you can run a great usability test with just a pencil and paper.

July 12, 2017

Long time no write, I know. I keep meaning to; there were several instances I thought of things to say. And then it was suddenly 11 and I was way too tired from work to get around to it. Even right now I should have gotten into bed hours ago. I haven’t been taking the greatest care of myself sleep-wise. Then again, what else is new, right?

There’s just been all of these little things that keep popping up. I’ve been avoiding voice chat with people. When I finally discorded with Demon for the first time since April I immediately broke down. I just kinda realized how that part of my life is basically gone.

I also finally got around to grabbing the choir performance files I wanted from Blackboard before the great Canvas Migration whisks them away into nothingness. I can’t decide if it was a good thing or not. I finally got to send the Royalty files to Mom, since she missed that concert. But I also gave Durufle’s Requiem a listen again. I don’t know what it is about me finding songs that remind me of you, but...

We sang the Requiem last spring. At the time, Dr. Garret explained that Durufle wrote it in memory of his father. And while that was touching, I really had no experiences to relate that to. My grandmother was so long ago and the emotions there are behind about 13 depression hazed walls. So at the time, I substituted any emotions that might connect to the piece by pouring my all into it. Story of my life, right? I remember how much fun I had at that concert. The had been one of the first super nice days of the spring, and since my sunburns take ages to materialize, I emerged from the church sweaty, burning, and red, but positively glowing with how fun it was. I can’t even imagine how I would have sung it now. I’d feel so bad breaking down on stage.

It all just reminds me of you. I think you would have liked the piece. Although, I never really did get up to date with your musical tastes after PaxCraft died and we all kinda split. I feel like I was the well meaning older sister that had a firm grasp on your tastes years ago, and is still making recommendations based on that. But I feel like you liked instrumental music. And it’s a beautiful piece. You can tell the grief that went into it. That’s def why I almost broke down at work today listening to it. Thank god Nick doesn’t come back in until tomorrow. Err. Today.

I really need to go to the counselors about this shit. But I’m hella nervous about having them look up who I saw freshman year. And a whole host of other things. I’ve been putting it off for weeks at this point. But I know I need to. I’ll do it by the end of the week. I’ve said that to myself a lot recently, but this time, I will. I’ll do it for you. It’s because you didn’t get help that you did what you did. It’s kinda like spitting on your grave to refuse to get help and continue the chain of sorrow.

Hopefully it will help. At the very least, I’ll get a lot of cathartic cries in.

I was also taking to Ben about Minecraft recently. It made me realize I haven’t opened up Minecraft for ages. Well before you died. I honestly don’t know what I’d do at this point if I did. My heart aches at the thought of playing Minecraft with a group of friends again, but I don’t have the courage to ask Ben about possibly joining their group. It’d be crossing a line, I think. And I don’t want to put him in the awkward position of saying no. But I think it will be good for me to play on my own. I need to come to terms with that part of my life being gone, now. You were kinda the last vestige of it.

Maybe I’ll find a village and fix it up for you. Load it with Testificates. Put Arty’s Fishkey distillery under the well. I’ll probably call it Verona. I’ll make a nice grave for you there. Then I’ll have one to visit, since your family cremated you. I wonder if they’ve picked out an urn yet? I’ll have to work up the nerve to ask Krissa sometime soon. But yeah. Maybe I’ll do that this weekend or something. Get out another good cry. Give a toast with that cider I have in the fridge. I’d prefer vodka, but I probs shouldn’t be drunkenly crying on my carpet.

I’ll write soon, for my sake. Maybe once I’ve had my first counseling session. Let you know how it went and all.

Miss you, Jarod. I’m sure I always will. But maybe soon it will hurt a little less.

Roleplay Server Log #340

“Prince Is Rude, Aqua is Upset, Cp is Punished”

[MA] -Comes approaching the group with a sour expression, hooks the crook in his staff around one of Prince's shoulders- Who's he hurt the feelings of this time?

[Prince] You wound me, MA. I merely state facts.

[MA] You're a rude old man. I know you.

[Doc] Buff, a little bit.

[Yaunfen] He hit my cat!

[Doc] What the fuck Prince.

[Prince] The cat deserved it.

[MA] -Blank stare for a second before sighing intensely- Sorry about the cat, bud. Not the best with animals. And. -Rounds on Prince- Apologize to Buff.

[Prince] I have nothing to apologize for, it was the truth.

[Buff] It's... okay.... - twiddles huge fingers- He's old... I don't want to be rude....

[Yaunfen] Makes a very obvious 'haha you got in trouble face' at Prince.

[MA] No, it's not okay. Apologize! -Turns Prince's head with his staff toward Buff and taps foot expectantly-

[Prince] I only apologize if it's untrue. -He sticks his nose up at Buff-

[Buff] I'll just go... help Deerheart or something....

[MA] -Shoves Prince a bit at Buff with an exasperated sigh- Don't make me go get Mix.

[Prince] -Aggravated sigh- Fine. I apologize, Buff. -He clearly doesn't mean it-

[Buff] Pained smile- that's okay-

[Yaunfen] No! You gotta mean it! It doesn't count otherwise!

[Prince] -His own sour look- I will only mean it when shown otherwise.

[MA] Or when the guilt eats you up.

[Prince] As if it would. -Shrugs the staff off his shoulder and stalks off-

[MA] It will. I'm sorry about him, Buff. He's a cranky old man constantly. -Slings staff to his own shoulder-

[Buff] It's fine.

[Doc] Pats his huge shoulder- We know you're not a meathead.

[MA] ...He called you a meathead?

[Buff] quietly- yeah... kinda...

[Doc] Should I be concerened about this one Ma? He's seems a bit... mean.

[Yaunfen] And rude!

[MA] He's just a bit set in his mindset. He's not very physically violent here so far so I think it'll be fine.

[Doc] He better not be or I'll stomp him.

[Lie] Is looking at a piece of chourus while standing in the shallows of Hera's bay-

[Herabrine] -jaws theme as the gigantic guardian cruises slowly along the shoreline-

[Lie] - I see you there

[Herabrine] Goes straight down like a submarine and flips her tail ever so slightly to flick 5-6 individual pixels of water at Lie.

[Lie] Laughs a little before lowering the plant in her hand into the water to see if she can alter it-

[Herabrine] Is watching her from juuuuust below the surface-

[Lie] Watches as the chourus becomes more porous and lightweight-

[Herabrine] Even bigger eyeball-

[Lie] Frowns a little- I'm not sure this is right... Damnit, I wish I knew what things looked like on Aqua's seed...

[Herabrine] Rises up to the surface and transforms, floating on her back with her arms out- Okay, I give up. What are you doing with that useless teleportation fruit?

[Lie] - Trying to make the water a bit more like what Aqua is used to. Their end must have been filled with an aquatic version of this plant. Besides, it would be another plant for the water

[Herabrine] But what's it supposed to look like?

[Lie] - That's just it, I don't know

[Herabrine] You could make a small version of the plants?

[Lie] - Yeah... Maybe...

[Herabrine] You better make sure it doesn't tp if you eat it either. I'd hate for Aqua to randomly tp over onto the land.

[Lie] - Good point... Guess I'll be doing a fair amount of experimenting with this one...

[Herabrine] So what's new? -grins- You working on a cozy little bubble nest?

[Lie] - No! No... I think CP's gonna be doing most of the building. I think he's rather nervous and looking for an outlet

[Herabrine] As long as the outlet isn't punching people, I think we're good. Heh!

[Lie] - I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we're having a girl

[Herabrine] I'm glad. There's enough guys on this server.

[Lie] - Yeah- She pulls her hands out of the water and looks at the malformed plant in her hand- Ech...

[Herabrine] That's bad....

[Lie] - Yeah that's going into the lava pit

[Herabrine] Toss it up in the air, I'll take care of it-

[Lie] - Alright- She tosses it up a decent ways

[Aqua] Bumps Hera from below-

[Herabrine] Is bumped but still manages to fry the tangled mess into nothing with her beam weapon. - Hey Aqua.

[Aqua] Trills at the two of them-

[Lie] - I think he heard his name

[Herabrine] Goes for the head scratch on Aqua, she's pretty much spawled on his head anyway- He gets bored.

[Lie] - I wonder if we could tether some toys around for him to play with...

[Herabrine] I've got some simple stuff he can mess with and I try to swim with him at least once a day.

[Lie] - That's good

[Aqua] Makes a chirping noise as he notices a lobster-

[Herabrine] Follows his gaze- Look at that unsuspecting bug.... git it!

[Aqua] Immediately dives for it, dumping Hera back into the water-

[Herabrine] Floats back up and hovers over the surface of the water, cheering Aqua on-

[Aqua] Snags the lobster and rushes for the surface with it-

[Herabrine] At least he gets a kick out of hunting for some of the critters we do have. I don't think he eats the sea dragons, but he does chase them.

[Lie] - So long as he doesn't get in Basil's way...

[Herabrine] Basil is suprisingly slow, and Aqua can corner better then him too. Besides, the big fucker has been a bit more relaxed since Doc revived the sea dragons. He eats himself silly and then just chills on the bottom in the really deep water.

[Lie] - That would explain why I don't see him as often anymore

[Herabrine] He's staying farther down the coast too. Sometimes I hear this bellowing noise and he comes up and gets near the shore but I've never been fast enough to see what's making it.

[Lie] - A bellowing noise?

[Herabrine] Yeah, kinda like when the mammoths are being noisy?

[Lie] - Weird, maybe Doc knows?

[Herabrine] I wouldn't be suprised. -grins- They're a nosy little fucker.

[Lie] - If not the instigator

[Herabrine] Waves at Aqua, trying to get them to surface-

[Aqua] Pops back up, tilting their head in curiosity-

[Herabrine] You're kinda psychic Lie, try to communicate with the big guy. Ask him what kinda plants would be good. Since some of the dragons sorta respawn through their egg drops, he might have some instinct you can tap into.

[Lie] - I can try...- She reaches out mentally and brushes against the dragons mind. What she finds is a surprisingly barricaded mind- Well that's weird. His mind is blocked...

[Herabrine] Tries with her own abilities and pushes a bit harder- Come on Aqua, you trust me, right?

[Aqua] Snaps at them, nervous about what they are doing-

[Herabrine] Flies a bit out of the way- Aqua?

[Aqua] Swims away-

[Lie] - I wonder what that was about...

[Herabrine] That was weird.

[Lie] - Maybe it has something to do with his End?

[Herabrine] I hope he's happy here at least. His egg was left behind. Maybe the player that took him out before was particularly brutal?

[Lie] - I don't know, maybe we could investigate someday

[Herabrine] Floats over closer to Lie- I'm not even sure how we could find out what happened.

[Lie] - There have to be clues somewhere

[Herabrine] Maybe? You ever want to go back there, I'm the person to take with you.

[Lie] - Oh absolutely, but maybe wait till after the baby is born

[Herabrine] Well yeah... that could be a while. Man.... you're gonna be so miserable. Poor thing. I saw how it went with Aven. Waddling around like she was gonna pop. Laying eggs is the way to go.

[Lie] - Yeah humans aren't designed for that

[Herabrine] shrugs- It works for some of the Testificates and they're mostly shaped like humans.

[Lie] - Yeah yeah... I'm a little surprised CP hasn't come to check on me yet though

[Herabrine] Just enjoy the brief quiet before the next explosion.

[Lie] - True- She starts heading towards the shore- How's Maggie?

[Herabrine] oh, you know. Hot, bouncy, she doesn't have much going on upstairs. But it's okay, she's a low stress pet. How's Hope and all your Pokemon?

[Lie] - Rambuncious, well other than the Rvulpix...

[Herabrine] Still working on that one huh? Poor neurotic little thing.

[Lie] - It is getting better, it recently got on the bed while CP was there too

[Herabrine] Awww. You know...? Did you ever find out what gender they both are? I know it's neither here nor there, but I bet Silver could tell you which is what.

[Lie] - Er, no actually... Are you just hoping for baby vulpix's?

[Herabrine] Nah, I'm betting they're both guys or both girls or that would have happened already.

[Lie] - Good point. The Lileep is just really content in the greenhouse... I honestly sometimes forget it's there and it surprises me

[Herabrine] Well it is a prehistoric plant cloned from a fossil and taken into a lower poly game. It's probably happy to just chill out. Have you seen Doc's chomplies lately? They sneak up on people and give raspberries in unison: its delightfully annoying.

[Lie] - No, I haven't actually been over there in awhile. I've been busy with my house guests

[Herabrine] It's not just them either. Pokemon are weird. Doc's Exeggutor just stands on the shore sometimes and stares off into the water. Considering that it's supposed to be psychic, I can't help but wonder what a three-headed tree monster thinks about.

[Lie] - I don't think I want to know. Who knows it might be trying to communicate with Espurr

[Herabrine] don't forget Lapras and Milotec are out there in the water too. I'm glad they seem to get along okay.

[Lie] - Yeah I usually see them playing over by Stevie's place... And they occasionally capsize Stevie's boat if he's fishing

[Herabrine] laughs - I'm guilty of that too! He makes the most hilarious noises when you startle him.

[Lie] - So CP says

[Herabrine] Eh, I make up for it though. I chase big fish into his little pond when I'm bored and they get stuck.

[Lie] - That is helpful, especially for feeding Milotic... Although I think I recall Alexis saying something about them having too many fish from Milotic bringing them to them

[Herabrine] Waves a hand- then she has an excuse to visit Alexsezia and give her some. She doesn't get out of the house much.

[Lie] - You'd be surprised. The number of times I'd swing by her place on the other server and she wasn't there was pretty often. She can be sneaky as fuck when she wants to be

[Herabrine] No, I mean Alexsezia doesntget out much. She seems to go questing for materials once in a blue moon and then stay home crafting and farming for weeks on end. She hardly walks farther then it takes to feed the one live horse.

[Lie] - Yeah, I guess your right... Maybe you guys should do an "alex" outing again

[Herabrine] Not a bad thought... Though Alexis still doesn't trust me from the last time!

[Lie] - Well maybe I'll join you guys this time

[Herabrine] Perhaps... Though you may have to restrain me a little - laughs- TLOT gave me a present... Some of his special cheese. That shits delicious.

[Lie] - I hate that stuff! It reeks!

[Herabrine] you're weird. All the other brines like it. I've even seen Cp eat it.

[Lie] - We think it's naturally spawned Brines that like it because those who weren't originally brines or who flat out aren't a brine hate it

[Herabrine] Well it's a bit less personal way to determine if someone is a natural Herobrine then testing their... 'Fertility' at least.

[Lie] Groans- That was an awkward situation

[CP] Is flying towards the bay-

[Herabrine] Especially for girls and Aces... And speaking of coming, here comes trouble. - grins-

[Lie] Watches her husband land-

[CP] - Hey, how are you feeling?

[Lie] - I'm just fine CP

[Herabrine] Shes just busy glowing with magick and creative potential while I entertain her with my usual wit

[Lie] - What were you up to?

[CP] - Settling some technical issues

[Herabrine] Still working on prettying up your commanders?

[CP] - No, our daughters NOTCH

[Lie] - I'm sorry, what were you doing?

[Herabrine] Oh.... Holy crap! I didn't even think about that! Lies not even showing yet and one of those fuckers is already pre- spawning?!?!

[CP] - No! I talked with my father and we got an unassigned one assigned to my daughter!

[Lie] - CP... There's something wrong with this picture...

[Herabrine] Is it the part where he called Markus dad? Or the part where they apparently cooperated on something? I'd check him for honesty pollen Lie.

[Lie] - I'm talking about the part where he didn't include me in this decision at all... [CP] Tenses a little-

[Herabrine] I was getting to that... Where did you find a jobless NOTCH anyway? Raiding that little village of tormented souls you keep under wraps?

[CP] - No...- Is taking some steps away from his angering wife

[Herabrine] Is watching Lie warily. at Cp- so who got the job? Before she catifies you?

[CP] - Prince... The NOTCH TLOT recently brought back [Lie] - So you made this decision, without consulting me, and choose a NOTCH we know next to nothing about? And you thought that was a good decision?!

[Herabrine] I'm guessing it was that or roll the dice with a randomly generated one?

[Lie] - We could have at least found out more about this NOTCH!

[CP] We still can?

[Lie] Glares at her husband briefly before flicking the collar at him-

[Herabrine] I think that was the end of the discussion...

[Lie] Frustrated noises-

[Herabrine] Sooo Prince? Sounds like either someone with a superiority complex or a dog.

[Lie] - I don't know. He could be a really good musician

[Herobrine] oh har har, do we know what group he's with?

[Lie] Shakes her head- No, I don't

[Herabrine] Flies over and puts her feet down next to Cp.

[CP] Gives her a little hiss-

[Herabrine] gives him a pat on the head, too bad she's dripping wet and her hand is clammy. - oh hush

[CP] Fury swipes-

[Herabrine] Gets scratched but also wrings a bit of her hair out over him in retailiation

[CP] Angry noises-

[Lie] - Oh hush, you have no right to complain

[Herabrine] quietly- Yeah, go play someplace...

[CP] Goes to rub against Lie-

[Lie] - Uh, no. I'm mad at you

[CP] Little mew, his mind already churning on what he could do to end up human again-

Roleplay Server Log #332

"Benny and the Witch”

[Doc] Is walking with Deerheart and Yaunfen towards Lie's house to access the cage

[Yaunfen] Is still carrying Waffles-

[Waffles] Rowr.

[Deer] Is still very much naked-

[Benny] -Scuttling along and making obnoxiously loud clucking noises-

[Doc] Eyeballs Deerheart- Is this just your sneaky way of trying to steal my coat again?

[Karla] Notices them as she's offering the fruit to Endrea-

[Yaunfen] Is nearly knocked down as Waffles notices the chicken and starts struggling a bit-

[Benny] -Cluck Cluck Cluck-

[willow] -is trying to get closer to karla while oak stays back because oak is being shy-

[Karla] Is just looking at the small dragon child struggling with the large cat.

[Endrea] - It's alright, she's never tried to bite me since I provide food. Willow be careful

[Deer] - Maybe

[Doc] Yaunfen, let me help- Xe reaches out for the cat and they break free from Yaunfen-

[Yaunfen] Waffles! No!

[Waffles] Goes right for the chicken.

[willow] -sniff sniff she is sniffing karla-

[Pinwheel] Hisses at Willow-

[Karla] At Willow- Hello?

[Benny] -Instantly loud screeching that may be bird, but also may not the instant he spots Waffles coming for him. He manages to bolt a foot or two before getting taken down-

[willow] -back up away from pinwheel- hello

[Waffles] Licks the chicken and makes a disgusted face- MOW.

[Deer] - I don't think Waffles likes Benny flavor

[Benny] That's what you get! -Kicks Waffles in the snoot with a tiny foot-

[Doc] Not sweet enough I'm sure. Lucky for him.

[Waffles] Hisses and extends claws a little into the chicken fluff

[Karla] Are you Willow or Oak?

[Benny] -Instantly screeching again and flailing about-

[Yaunfen] Benny talked!

[willow] i'm willow -points to oak- that's my brother oak

[Doc] Wait, what?

[Benny] -Full panic mode- No I didn't-- Get off---- -Scratches at Waffles face with both feet-

[Deer] - Well TLOT did say he could...

[Karla] Nice to meet you. Is this kind of thing normal here?

[Doc] Hurries over-

[Waffles] Swats him -

[Benny] -Screeches at Waffles-

[Ashe] - Is debating helping Benny or not

[Doc] Picks up the cat who is stubbornly hanging onto the chicken.

[willow] -looks around at everything- sometimes

[Yaunfen] Say something else!

[Benny] -Dangles- No!

[Yaunfen] Giggles-

[Endrea] Just sighs and offers Pinwheel a bit more void energy-

[Benny] -Flaps wings at Yaunfen angrily-

[Karla] It's certainly not what I'm used too.

[Yaunfen] Tickles Benny-

[Doc] Shakes the cat but they won't let go-

[Benny] -Awkwardly maneuvers self to peck with a vengeance at Waffles paws-

[Endrea] - It is rather normal around here

[Doc] Changes tactics and lets Yaunfen hold the cat while xe grabs the chicken and tries to seperate them-

[Waffles] HISSSSS!

[oak] -finally joins his sister near karla-

[Benny] -Manages to make a sizable gouge in one paw and shrieks angrily at Waffles-

[Waffles] Angry yowl and smacks a paw at Benny's head-

[Benny] I will kill you!

[Doc] Manages to seperate them finally and backs off with the chicken, panting from adrenaline-

[Yaunfen] You won't hurt my cat!

[Benny] -Scuttles in Doc's arms a bit and huffs-

[Pinwheel] - Wanna bite it

[Doc] Gets a little calmer- It's time to fess up anyway. I got suspicious when TLOT told me you talked-

[Karla] Little laugh at Pinwheel - It is a bit annoying, isn't it? What do you think children? [at Willow and Oak]

[Benny] -Angry cluck-

[Doc] Yeah, not buying that anymore-

[willow] maybe a little

[oak] nope

[Ashe] Comes closer to check on his younger siblings-

[Benny] -Clucks again before just angrily being held-

[Doc] Shakes the chicken a bit- who are you?

[Benny] A Chicken

[oak] -sees ashe- hi big brother

[Yaunfen] Uh-uh! Chickens don't talk!

[Benny] Maybe not to you.

[Doc] Considering that we already outed one NOTCH pretending to be a bird, I'm suspicious.

[Benny] God I wish.

[Doc] You wish what?

[Deer] - I could take apart his code

[Benny] -Screeches at Deer and swaddles himself closer to Doc- No!

[Doc] I just want the truth.

[Ashe] Nuzzles Oak a little-

[Benny] I'm still the same bird I came in as! Just angrier. -Grumbles- I miss having hands.

[oak] -nuzzles back-

[willow] -is now trying to get closer to the rest of the action with the angry benny because adventure and living on the edgy-

[Doc] Are you stuck in that shape?

[Benny] Yes.

[Doc] What are you supposed to be?

[Endrea] - Willow, stay out of it

[Benny] I don't remember.

[willow] adventure -runs over to be next to yaunfen-

[Yaunfen] Hey Willow! Check out my new cat!

[Waffles] Grumbly meow.

[Doc] That's unsettling. What do you remember?

[willow] that's a big cat it makes a funny meow

[Benny] An angry witch. I made her angry, I think.

[Yaunfen] It's a sabertoof!

[Pinwheel] Yawns a little-

[Doc] A witch turned you into a chicken? How come you haven't asked any of us for help?!

[Karla] Gives Pinwheel a gentle scratch on her ruff since she's distracted and sleepy-

[willow] cool can I pet it?

[Benny] Because I got used to this?!

[Pinwheel] Little purr-

[Yaunfen] Yeah! - Holds up the cat.

[Waffles] Huge paws dangling, and an annoyed expression directed at the chicken.

[willow] -pets waffle-

[Doc] Thinking- I wonder if Croca knows anything that might help...

[Benny] -Gives Waffles the stink eye-

[Waffles] Very loud purr and slight blep-

[willow] it's such a cute kitty

[Yaunfen] They love candy too! Just like me.

[Benny] -Blatantly flips off Waffles with one foot-

[willow] that means prefect kitty for you

[Doc] Is already thoughtfully walking in the general direction of the spawn-

[Benny] Can you. Let go? This isn't comfortable. You're holding me all wrong.

[Yaunfen] Mada has an idea! Come on Willow! Mama!

[Doc] No. I think you'll just run away. - Xe does adjust hir grip a bit to support him though.

[willow] -he eyes light up and is ready to follow yaunfen- adventure!

[Benny] -Shifts a bit in Doc's hands before grumbling.- You're squishing my wings.

[Endrea] - Willow...

[Doc] Shifts a bit more but still walking-

[Deer] - Willow, you should ask your mom for permission first

[Benny] -Content now just perches in Doc's grip.- You don't have to do this, you know.

[willow] mamma can I go on adventure with yaunfen?

[Doc] I know. But I'm curious af. And you got TLOT in trouble.

[Endrea] - Will you be responsible and listen to what Doc says?

[Benny] He assaulted me! He deserved it.

[willow] yes momma

[Doc] His methods were a bit crude, but still....

[Benny] And he made Mix cry! He couldn't have threatened my life elsewhere? Seriously?

[Doc] He's a passionate person, he tends to do things in the heat of the moment... thankfully his mate is the forgiving type.

[Yaunfen] Is skipping happily along- So what's new Willow?

[Benny] -Lightly nibbles on Doc's hands-

[Doc] Why? Seriously?

[Benny] -Nibble-

[willow] ashe got me a book from the library

[Doc] My rubber gloves cannot possibly taste good...

[Yaunfen] That's cool! I love books!

[Benny] It doesn't. -Through a mouthful of rubber-

[willow] the one I am reading is about adventure

[Deer] Waves to some testificates as they pass-

[Doc] Annoyed-

[Yaunfen] Adventures are dangerous.

[Benny] -Nibbles harder-

-They're past the spawn and heading up the stone steps towards Amegakure-

[Doc] Eeeerrggh.

[willow] that is just what make them fun besting all the danger and finding new places

[Benny] -Stop nibbling on that spot and finds a new one to nom- Do we have to do this? I'm fine as a bird--- really.

[Deer] Looks at the gentle waves beneath them-

[Doc] Ech oooch ouch. -

-Some Testificates wave and one opens the door to let them into the village.

[willow] -sees the water- I fear no water I will find out how to best it one day

[Yaunfen] Shifts the cat - Best it? It's just water.

[Deer] - Willow, it still effects your mom, I don't think you can best it...

[willow] best it in getting past large amounts of it with out getting hurt

[Doc] Knocks on Cronas door with the front of hir boot since hir hands are full

-Testificates are fishing and some stop to look at the cat and the little dragon children-

[Yaunfen] Maybe you could use a potion?

[Deer] - Willow, you have to know your limits

[Benny] -Chewing harder-

[Doc] Stop it!

[Benny] No! I'm nervous!

[willow] maybe but I wish to explore and adventure one day and I refuse to let water hold me back

[Deer] - Willow, your bravery is a good trait, but too much can be bad

[Chiffon] -Opens the door and looks at the group- Are you here for Croca?

[Doc] Yes!

[Chiffon] She's in the back uhhh... You can come in. -She scoots back and lets them in-

[Waffles] Straining to see the fish and then looks grumpy because they're just normal fish-

[Doc] Thank you! - Xe scoots in with the chicken and makes sure everyone is inside before shutting the door and plopping him on the bed - Now stay put!

[willow] how much is to much bravery?

[Benny] -Immediately starts gnawing on the blankets of the bed-

[Deer] - When it becomes cockiness

[Croca] Emerges from the back of the house, she's a bit greener then the last time Doc saw her - Ah! Doctor! Did you just come to bring us some lunch? Haha.

[Benny] Fuck off -Has pecked a hole through the blanket-

[Doc] More like a frog prince...

[Yaunfen] What's a frog?

[Croca] I don't understand...?

[willow] i also don't know what a frog is?

[Benny] It's an amphibian.

[Doc] He's not a chicken. And it's a small animal... it's complicated, I'll show you later...

[Croca] Leans on the counter where a brewing stand is merrily bubbling- So what do you want from me?

[Benny] -Noms more of the blanket in an anxious fit-

[Doc] He's not a chicken, he was something else and a witch turned him into this.

[Croca] Laughs - Really?! See this is the kind of thing that makes people hate witches. It's a dirty sterotype... Not everyone acts like that.

[Doc] He says he doesn't remember what he did to deserve it either...

[Croca] Now that I'm skeptical of.

[Deer] Is looking at different things around the room-

[Chiffon] -Hands together and listening to everything quietly-

[Benny] I don't! I just remember them being angry!

[Doc] I'm having a stupid thought... Benny, has Mix ever kissed you?

[Benny] ... Yes? A lot. -Haunted look- Too much. She is too affectionate for her own good.

[Doc] Well scratch that idea...

[Croca] I doubt it's anything that simple.

[Benny] -There is now a sizable hole in the blanket-

[Croca] Although... I have been doing some interesting reading lately...

[Yaunfen] Books!

[willow] -looking all around at everything-

[Chiffon] We have a lot of books here.

[Doc] Can we assume you were probably human-ish?

[Benny] -Hesitates before nodding a bit, the blanket's seen better days now.-

[Croca] If that's the case then I have an idea. But we'll need a Steve.

[Doc] Stevie is the closest to here.

[Croca] Plops her hat on her head, - then we'll be off. It will be dark soon. Chiffon, please stay here and feed Tiber. I don't want the mobs attacking you. You're still too pale.

[Chiffon] Alright! Be safe out there.

[Deer] - I can keep the mobs at bay

[Croca] Eyes Deerheart- You do have a lot of magick.

[Doc] She's my world, literally.

[Yaunfen] Hehe.

[Deer] - We should still get going though, Endrea is likely to worry about Willow once it gets dark

[Doc] Picks up Benny again and walks out.

[Yaunfen] Offers Waffles to Deerheart- Mama? My arms are tired.

[Benny] -Goes right back to nibbling on Doc's gloves-

[Deer] - Okay, I'll carry Waffles- She takes the cat easily

[Doc] Errrg.... - Xe's hurrying-

[Yaunfen] Charges a bit ahead and knocks on Stevie's door-

[Croca] Follows at a more leisurely pace

[Alexis] Opens the door- Why hello there Yaunfen

[willow] -sniffs at alexis-

[Yaunfen] Hi Alexis! Can Stevie come out and play?!?

[Croca] Walks up next to Doc and puts her hands in her sleeves with a little witchy chuckle.

[Alexis] - Let me see if he can- She disappears inside and Stevie shows up in the doorway not long after

[Stevie] - Is everything okay?

[Benny] -Nom nom nom-

[Croca] Eyes him up and down- We require a Steve. You'll do nicely.

[Stevie] The edges of the doorway begin to get coated in ice-

[Croca] Pulls out a potion bottle.

[Doc] STOP PECKING ME.

[Stevie] - Ummm...- He takes a nervous step back

[Benny] I'M ANXIOUS

[Croca] Takes a drink of the bottle- It's just water, relax. - She looks up at the sky and it's already turning maroon and gold as the moon rises.

[Stevie] - Um... What am I needed for?

[Croca] Not needed just yet. It needs to be darker out...

[Doc] Is practically juggling Benny, hir gloves are shredded.

[Benny] -Juggled-

[Deer] - I'll make sure no mobs come near

[Waffles] Mows at Alexis with their huge fangs-

[Alexis] - Well that's a strange cat...

-It's getting darker and the normal noises of the mobs shuffling around gets louder.

[Croca] Waits until there's plently of moonlight and gestures for Stevie to come outside with a croock of her finger.

[Stevie] Is hesitant but does step outside-

[Deer] Uses her energy to keep the mobs away-

[Benny] -Nomming what he can reach-

[Croca] wanders around a bit until she finds a nice patch of clear dirt. - Just walk across this block please. - She's muttering softly and theres a rising sense of tension as she summons a bit of magick.

[Stevie] Nervously does so-

[Croca] Where Stevie walks there are deep footprints in the soft soil and she reverently pours some water from her bottle into the deepest print. - Chicken please.

[Doc] Passes Benny to her-

[Benny] -Immediately starts wiggling a bit-

[Croca] Kneels down and puts his face next to the puddle in Stevie's foot print, his chickeny visage is reflected back at him in the moonlight- Drink.

[Stevie] Gives Doc a confused look-

[Benny] -Wiggle- but...

[Croca] Pushes his face near the water.

[Benny] -Reluctantly starts drinking-

[Croca] Puts him down and steps back.

[Doc] Is fingering hir shredded gloves in irritation.

[Yaunfen] This is neat!

[Benny] -Sits there a bit awkwardly- Uhhh

[Yaunfen] What should we play next?

[Croca] Watches with a small smile and pokes Stevie like [check this shit out]

[Stevie] Jumps in surprise-

[Benny] -Looks back at them and ruffles his wings a bit- Was that supposed to.... -He trails off and starts to grimace-

[Croca] Little cackle.

[Doc] Please don't do that....

[Benny] Owowowow-And Benny's yelling as he starts changing form-

[Doc] Yikes!

[Yaunfen] WHOAH!

[Deer] - Oh my...

[Stevie] - Yeah I'm going back inside, this is too much for this late at night

[Croca] At Stevie - Ah, where's your sense of adventure? I thought Steve's all had iron balls.

[Stevie] - I've had enough adventure as of late

[Croca] Pfft-

[Doc] Is staring at Benny-

[Benny] -Is mostly finished, he's a crumbled heap of feathers and steve. He looks distinctly chickeny, still- I'm going to kill you when I figure out how my legs work again....

[Doc] Who was that directed at?

[Yaunfen] You're all fluffy!

[Benny] -Gestures vaguely at them all-

[Doc] Well that's something I'm used too.

[Croca] You're welcome. Any chance you remembered what you did as well?

[Benny] Still a solid no. -Awkwardly fumbles all his limbs around to try and sit up-

[Yaunfen] Knocks on the door again - Alexis, can we borrow a cup of shirt?

[Doc] Busts out laughing.

[Alexis] Opens the door and hands them a shirt- Here, have fun

[Benny] I'm so... heavy now.

[Yaunfen] Grabs the shirt and gives it to Benny -nk you!

[Doc] Well you are five times bigger then you were...

[Benny] ... True. -Getting the shirt on is fun, he hasn't worn clothing in forever-

[Doc] We should probably take shelter....

[Croca] Well I think my work here is done, I'm going to go home to a nice glass of wine and the book I was reading. Cherrio.

[Yaunfen] Thank you!

[Deer] - I can take Willow home

[Doc] It's closer if they just come with us...

[Deer] - Yes but it's dark out and Willow is her child, she's bound to be worried

[Doc] Yeah okay. Come on Benny. I bet I can improve your mood nigh instantly anyway.

[Deer] - Yaunfen, do you want to carry Waffles again?

[Yaunfen] Yes mama! - Reaches out and takes the big cat-

[Waffles] Has a bored expression.

[Deer] Smiles and then motions for Willow to follow her- Say good bye to everyone Willow

[Doc] Reaches to help Benny up-

[Benny] -Accepts the help up and wobbles wildly before he manages to get some balance-

[Doc] Helps him walk a bit awkwardly towards the castle.

[Waffles] Growls at a creeper that backs quickly away.

[Doc] Gets Benny inside and sets him down on the stairs across from the horse pen.

[Benny] -Tucks his legs under him much like he would as a birb-

[Yaunfen] Sets Waffles down and they busk the fence posts making the horses a bit nervous-

[Benny] -Glares daggers at Waffles-

[Doc] Shuffles in a trunk- Now! How about this? -Xe pulls out a warm ham sandwich with cheese and shakes it in Benny's direction- Something other then seeds to eat?

[Waffles] Shows Benny their butt and stumpy little tail.

[Benny] -Hesitates a bit- I'm more inclined to throw that at the cat right now, but sure.

[Yaunfen] Be nice to my cat!

[Doc] I can get you something else..?

[Benny] Your cat attacked me!

[Yaunfen] Yeah... they're a cat! You were a bird. You didn't get hurt. - They pull out a yellow gummy fish and the sabertooth cat perks up and wanders over to them-

[Yaunfen] Holds up the fish for the cat-

[Waffles] Mrrr? - bats at it-

[Benny] -Waves a hand a bit dismissively- Still hate your cat.

[Yaunfen] Pouting face. - Meanie.

[Doc] I think you should stay at least one night for observation...

[Benny] Fine. I'm gonna go find a room. -He gets up and wobbles off, unsteady a bit-

[Doc] Just go up the steps. BEN's old room is above us. It's okay, I cleaned it throughly.

[Benny] Thanks. -Does so-

[Yaunfen] Snickers - BEN's room is now Bennies room...

[Doc] Pfft.

[Deer] Goes into Lie's house to make sure Willow goes straight to Endrea-

[willow] -is following deer-

[Deer] - Did you have fun today Willow?

[willow] yes very much I am glad I got to go on adventure today

[Deer] - Just remember not to bite off more than you can chew, okay?

[Endrea] Comes down from her room- There you are, it's gotten rather dark out

[Deer] - Sorry, our task took a bit longer than expected

[Willow] I wont. mamma I had a fun adventure today -goes over and nuzzles endrea-

[Endrea] Hugs her back- I'm glad, you must be pretty tired though

[willow] yes I am mamma -yawns-

[Endrea] - Ashe and Oak are already in bed, why don't you go join them. I need to check on Pinwheel before I join you

[willow] -walks up to endrea's room to join them in bed-

[Deer] - Is Lie around?

[Endrea] - She's in the bath house currently

[Deer] - Ah, I just wanted to check in on her, we've all been a little worried since she wasn't feeling well awhile ago

[Endrea] Walks into the workroom and Pinwheel in laying on one of the spare beds- The Mistress is fine

-fifteen minutes previous-

[Karla] Walks over to the bed Pinwheel is on and examines her a bit- Are you awake little one?

[Pinwheel] Huffs- Yes

[Karla] You look like you could use a little grooming.

[Pinwheel] - Can't reach all of them

[Karla] Mind if I help?

[Pinwheel] - No

[Karla] Are you sure? I'm used to working with feathers and I know how they should lay.

[Pinwheel] - My feathers!

[Karla] I'm not going to take them, just put them back into place. I think you'd be more comfortable if they weren't poking out in every direction.

[Pinwheel] Long drawn out noise-

[Karla] Little smile and uses one gloved hand to smooth her feathers. She's barely touching the little dragon and lining them up in long gentle strokes. -

[Pinwheel] Wiggles a little, not sure how to feel about this-

[Karla] Holds up a wing and preens Pinwheel with her fingers. - You look better already. Is it too much?

[Pinwheel] - Weird feel

[Karla] You don't like my gloves? Or just touching in general?

[Pinwheel] - Don't know

[Karla] It's okay to not know. I'm not always comfortable around others either.

[Pinwheel] - Splendy always touchie

[Karla] I don't know him. But I'll keep that in mind. - starts on the other wing-

[Pinwheel] Tiniest of purrs-

[Karla] Lays the feathers down nicely and lets her hands fall down to the bed. - I was told you like scratches on your ruff. Would you like me to do that?

[Pinwheel] - Scatch?

[Karla] Uses her fingers to rub the little dragons ruff. - There, there. It seems like even tough little dragons have bad days.

[Pinwheel] Starts stretching her long neck out as she purrs-

[Deer] Comes in with Endrea-

[Karla] Looks up in curiosity- Hello again both of you. And.... aren't you cold like that?

[Deer] - Hm? Ah, no. I'm never actually cold

[Endrea] Retrieves one of the bottles of void energy for Pinwheel-

[Karla] May I? I assume I shouldn't touch the liquid. How odd.

[Endrea] - Certainly. And you are correct about not touching it. Just don't give her too much. I'm fairly certain she's basically had nothing to eat in the past week and I wouldn't want her to get sick

[Karla] Takes the bottle gingerly and uncorks it before tipping and offering the lip to Pinwheel- Go slow little one. Is all well out there? I hear a lot of strange noises.

[Pinwheel] Eagerly starts eating-

[Deer] - Oh yeah, it's just the natural noises of the mobs. All the ones close by here though are under Lie and CP's control

[Karla] Can't help but smile at the little one. - You have interesting energy Deerheart... are you a witch?

[Deer] - No, I'm the server

[Karla] I'm not sure I understand...

[Deer] - I am the physical embodiment of everything around you, down to every last bit of coding within every pixel. I was formed in response to Doc's love of this seed. It realized how lonely they were and how much it wanted to respond to their love. I literally fell from the sky for them

[Karla] Registers the tiniest amount of suprise but doesn't waver from feeding Pinwheel. - How extrordinary... so you are quite literally the goddess of this world. My apologies if my tree is causing you any distress.

[Deer] - It certainly feels weird, about on par with Dolly's stone...

[Karla] It is made with Death's energy, but can literally extend life indefintely. And... what sort of stone?

[Deer] - It's just a weird stone she's made. Besides, with respawn there's no need to fear death here

[Endrea] Glances outside- Oh dear, it looks like Blake is pestering the Mistress again

[Pinwheel] Tries to grab the bottle to get a stronger flow of food-

[Endrea] - I think that might be enough food for now...

[Karla] Puts the bottle down- easy now. You don't want to get a stomachache. And who is Blake?

[Endrea] - The blaze general

[Karla] what is a blaze? And why would one want to annoy Lie? She seems rather... easy to get along with.

[Deer] - A fire based mob, one of the ones with the rods floating around them... And his main goal seems to be to get into CP's pants... Perhaps he's decided to try and change tactic?

[Karla] I saw one of those earlier... what could they possibly want sexually with a human? They don't even seem to have genitals...?

[Endrea] - The Master has given all of his generals a more human like form so when Blake is in that form, well...

[Pinwheel] Bats at the bottle- More!

[Karla] Endrea seems to be the senior dragon here Pinwheel, you should listen to your elders. That said though, could she have a small snack? Something different perhaps? - She sits up a little to try and see outside. - And should we help Lie?

[Lie] Ignores Blake as she walks past him-

[Endrea] - Hmmm, we might have a couple mouse eggs here, but she doesn't seem very fond of dragonwort

[Karla] Mouse... eggs? - looks at Pinwheel- would that be acceptable?

[Pinwheel] - I chase

[Endrea] - That's the main problem. She probably shouldn't run around much plus she doesn't eat the morsels they drop. She just hunts them for fun

[Karla] at Pinwheel- Do they not taste good?

[Pinwheel] - Fun challenge

[Karla] Can she not eat anything else?

[Endrea] - Anything with fluid in it harms us

[Karla] Perhaps a little bread? Or crackers?

[Deer] - It's just how Enders are

“Stevie’s Glitch, Mob Gossip”

[Doc] Well we know where he is now...

[TLOT] Charges past them with his cloak flapping in the direction of Lies house-

[Steve] Also runs by a moment later-

[Lie] - TLOT! Wait for us! It has to do with CP and Stevie!

[Alexis] - Should I start preparing things here?

[Doc] Yes? No? I have no idea what we're preparing for! - Xe goes dashing off as well-

[Lie] Follows them down into the cage-

[Stevie] Has basically created a blizzard around himself-

[CP] Is pushing closer, using his heat to protect himself- Stevie, you have to calm down, I don't want TLOT trying to kill me for destroying one of his cities

[TLOT] Charges into the portal and runs out into the desert. The offensive plants on the city walls turn to look down as the group staggers quickly through the snow and slushy sand-

[Lie] - I should have brought my cloak...

[Doc] Scoops her up and puts her in hir mane- Just hang on tight.

[Lie] - Yeah, let's find the source... We can at least eliminate CP...

[TLOT] Stops to let Steve catch up and keeps him close as the snow blows around- This is ridiculous!

[Lie] - CP seemed concerned about Stevie... Could Stevie be the cause of this?

[Doc] Beats me. But I think if I accidentally turned his brother into a Herobrine, he will kick my ass on general principles.

[Lie] - CP? What about Notch?

[Doc] I think he'd be more annoyed then mad really.

[CP] Can tell that Stevie is running out of energy and is quickly coming to the conclusion that he may need to punch his brother-

[TLOT] Is close enough to see them now - Stevie! Cp! What the Nether is happening out here?!

[CP] - Stevie's glitching!

[TLOT] Gathers the energies around him and heads straight for Stevie to try and stabilize him-

[CP] - Don't let the other's closer, I've got my heat to protect me, but your Steve and Lie? Not so much...

[Steve] Hears him and hangs back as Doc trots up-

[Doc] Oh fuck...

[Stevie] Quietly- Brother...

[CP]- I'm still here!

[TLOT] Reaches out for Stevie, murmuring soothing words and reaching out to him mentally to try and calm him-

[Stevie] Is panicked, but the words are helping and the ice is already beginning to settle down slightly-

[Doc] Is looking around at the ice - That's some serious cold...

[TLOT] Just look at me Stevie, breathe slow-

[Lie] - Well CP and Stevie are pretty much polar opposites...

[Stevie] His eyes still betray his fear but things are settling down-

[CP] - It's alright Stevie

[Doc] Sorta? Wouldn't the opposite of fire be water? And Cp has lightning? So does this mean he might have rock or earth powers too?

[Lie] - Who knows, but I think Stevie's going to need a bed asap... And I bet the people of Kore may be thinking they've witnessed the birth of a new god...

[Doc] Looks back at the row of Testificate faces peering over the dunes a ways behind them- Yeah... probably. They're so impressionable.

[Stevie] Finally collapses to the ground, gulping for air-

[TLOT] Kneels beside him- I don't know what brought that on, but it was impressive at least.

[CP] - Doc glitched his new arm on...

[TLOT] Ah... break something a little bit more to fix it.... I'm not suprised.

[Stevie] - First try... Fell... Off...

[CP] - His body completely rejected it

[TLOT] I see. Well, whatever works.

[Steve] calls out- is it safe?

[CP] - For now?

[Lie] Hurries forwards- Stevie...

[Steve] Rushes up as well- You're glitched Stevie?

[Stevie] - Now... Yes...

[Lie] - We should get him to a bed... The chapel in Kore is filled with my flowers, they may help

[Sprlhm] Is leading the little group of Testificates- Is something awry my lords and ladies?

[Lie] - Er... Well

[TLOT] Archly- Your war gods brother hath joined our ranks. Stevie of the ice.

-Little gasps-

[CP] Flips TLOT off before going over to his brother and kneeling in front of him- Breathe Stevie, just focus on that

[Sprlhm] Can we... get you anything?

[Steve] Make a room ready for him in the temple. He needs to rest amidst the healing blooms.

[Sprlhm] Snaps his fingers and a few villagers rush off- it shall be done

[TLOT] Goes to pick up Stevie-

[CP] Growls at TLOT as the other brine gets close-

[TLOT] Will you carry him then?

[CP] - Yes- He moves to scoop his brother up

[Lie] Has a slightly proud expression on her face as she watches her husband-

[Stevie] Where he and CP are in contact begins steaming-

[TLOT] Leads him instead and Steve falls into step beside them.

[Doc] Shrinks down to hir smaller self and also follows.

[Lie] Stays closest to her husband-

[Sprlhm] Opens the gates for them and there's the usual commotion in the square. The kids are playing in the little drifts of snow. Some of them dressed up like their visitors-

[CP] Ignores the kids as he moves forwards-

[Lie] - We'll have to deal with some of this ice before we leave...

[Cherie] Is waiting and ushers them inside. The place is still full of Lies flowers and the air is redolent with sweet fragrances from them.

[CP] Looks for the bed for Stevie-

-It's off to the left of the hallway and the room is also full of flowers-

[CP] Carries Stevie in and puts him on the bed-

[Lie] - I'll see about acquiring some soup, something easy for him to digest

[Cherie] I'll find something for him mistress - hurries off

[Doc] Is checking Stevie over- this is very strange...

[Steve] So he's not a Herobrine, but he got some powers?

[TLOT] It might have just been a feedback effect of whatever was done to him...

[Doc] I had to get rough with his coding so it would stop rejecting the transplant

[TLOT] I see...

[Sprlhm] is he okay?

[CP] - It's the same symptoms as I went through acquiring my fire powers...

[Lie] - And how long did that take you to figure out how to control?

[CP] - ... Months...

[Doc] I guess some quality time is in order, since for once you're the only expert on what's wrong Cp.

[CP] - Yeah...

[TLOT] So.... Why my seed Cp?

[Steve] Awww. Hanging out with your bro, with common ground for once!

[CP] - Because I panicked and it was the closest desert I could think of that was large enough

[TLOT] Ah. Makes sense. Oh well, I'm sure some of the villagers who live here have never seen snow before. I doubt it will last long.

[CP] - I don't know... I went through like five servers trying to control my powers and destroyed at least half of each server

[Stevie] Starts stirring a little-

[TLOT] Stares at him for a long moment and then slaps him hard across the face. - Don't ever, ever put my Testificates in danger again.

[Doc] So.... set up another console next to Gem's in your yard. Got it.

[CP] - I WAS PANICKING!

[TLOT] You still deserved that. The NOTCH server is almost entirely unused area with no structure spawns.

[CP] - I was thinking desert because it's usually a large expanse of land. Had it been fire, you'd be glad there was nothing there for it to spread with

[Doc] I think we all just need to relax....

[Steve] Checks on Stevie-

[Lie] Briefly thinks about what she did with Notch on TLOT's server-

[TLOT] Whips around to look at her- Liiiie?

[Lie] - Yes?

[TLOT] Eyes narrow- What did you do?

[Lie] - Nothing?

[TLOT] More fixed gaze and he takes a sharp little poke at her mind-

[Lie] Winces back at the poke and tries but fails at putting up a barrier, showing the village that she and Notch ended up at after fixing Traveller. And the tree as a sign of gratitude towards Notch- I think... I'm just, gonna go outside now...

[TLOT] Long annoyed sigh - That could have been a lot worse, buuuut.

[Steve] Is watching his mind- That's a huge tree....

[Lie] - Eh heh... Sorry?

[CP] Was not paying attention, more focused on Stevie-

[Doc] Has taken a quiet step back and is checking on Stevie -

[Stevie] Starts opening his eyes- What... What happened?

[Steve] You made a ton of ice!

[Doc] It's snowing in what's probably the biggest desert on TLOT's seed.

[Stevie] - It's, what?

[Cherie] Comes back with a bit of oonion soup and a loaf of bread. - Oh! The new god is awake! I brought you food.

[Stevie] - New god?

[CP] - Welcome to the "I didn't want this title club"

[Cherie] He did preform a rather strange miracle. And he is brother to the god of war.

[Doc] Cherie, it might be better to consider him clergy like Father Steve....

[Cherie] Is that acceptable?

[Stevie] - Um... I don't really care either way...- He winces and causes a spike of ice to erupt from the ground

[CP] Sighs and just starts melting it- Yeah, I think I know what I'll be doing for awhile...

[Cherie] Oh my!

[Sprlhm] I'll get him a gem straight away! -Rushes off

[Lie] - A gem?

[Steve] Taps his chestplate, indicating the smooth green gemstone in the middle. - The clergy carry them, but there's no standard for how you bear it.

[Stevie] - That... Might take some getting used to...

[CP] - First thing you'll need is training...

[TLOT] It's worth it. It's safe passage in strange places and if you show it to them; the villagers will take you in for a night and feed you if you're wandering.

[Stevie] - Only here though, right?

[Doc] On the other seed too. You're forgetting that the villagers in Konohakagure and Amegakure are from here and they have treaties with Sunagakure and Limewatch.

[CP] - Yeah but those places for the most part know all of us

[Doc] Do they? I doubt Stevie has been to Limewatch. And maybe not Sunagakure either. Have you been over the long bridge?

[Stevie] - Not since before the village was discovered. Remember, you originally placed the human village over there

[Doc] Oh yeah! I forgot. Geeze that was forever ago.

[Stevie] - Yeah...

[Lie] - Stevie, do you think you feel well enough to head back over?

[Sprlhm] Comes back and strides over to Stevie- This is for you sir. - He holds up an oval gem on a golden chain. It sparkles in the torchlight and the big jewel is full of interesting swirls and bright patches of color.

[Stevie] Takes the gem and looks it over- I've never seen this type before...

[Sprlhm] They're very special, and not found often.

[Doc] Hence saving them for a special occasion-

[Steve] It's a bit shinier then mine, but I've taken quite few blows to the chest. Mines kinda scratched up.

[Stevie] - I see... Thank you...- He's starting to feel light headed

[CP] - Stay with us brother, we still need to get home

[Doc] I can always carry him-

[CP] Growls a little-

[Doc] As a dragon! I'm not impuning your ability to carry him!

[Lie] Can't stop a small laugh-

[Steve] At least he's being protective... Thats a huge step.

[Lie] - Oh absolutely

[Stevie] Shivers and it starts snowing in the church-

[TLOT] Just go please. Steve and I will make some quick rounds here before we come back.

[Doc] Yeah. I'll set up a console for you. Let's go.

[CP] Reaches down to pick his brother up and toss him over his shoulder- Come on, let's go idiot

[Doc] Follows along-

[Sprlhm] Safe travel to you all!

[Lie] - Enjoy the snow while you can!

-Outside the kids are tossing snowballs and generally running around-

[CP] Creates an opening back to the cage and walks right through-

[Lie] - You go first Doc, he won't close it till I'm through

[Doc] Scoots out and looks up at the offensive plant - Doing a good job there. Keep it up!

[Lie] - It was worried a while back...

[Doc] Worried? I wonder why? Maybe it misses you and you need to come down here more often!

[Cherie] Sirs? We actually have a gift for you. One of our explorers found it, but we cannot read the text. We thought perhaps it would be of use to you. - she holds out a small black book with gold corners-

[TLOT] Takes it curiously and his brow furrows at the puzzling glyphs, they resemble the designs of the enchanting table and there are several diagrams for things he's never seen before.

[Lie] - Doc, I have the strongest connection with this pod, it woke me from my sleep it was that unnerved. That's why I shut the door to the cage, even though I knew somebody had entered one of the servers, I trust it to know when something is wrong, especially if it's something it cannot bite

[Doc] Well... I'm not sure what we can do about it. You said it's been a while?

[Lie] - Yeah...

[CP] - Can we get this thing set up? I don't think we want Stevie freezing this place over and he's starting to sniffle

[Stevie] - I am not!

[Doc] Okay, okay... - Xe click copies a command block and starts setting it up- Give me a phrase and I'll generate a seed from it.

[CP] Would flip Doc off if his hands were free-

[Lie] - Bonding zone

[CP] - Lie!

[Doc] Types it in - done! Let's see what we got! - Opens a portal into it-

[CP] Quickly carries Stevie through-

[Doc] Follows curiously, scanning around. - Mob griefing is off, keep inventory is on, and we're set on easy with structures set to no, so there aren't any villagers to get caught in the crossfire.

[CP] - Good

[Stevie] Sneezes and the area is filled with ice-

[Lie] Yelps and steps back from the opening, having not gone through yet-

[CP] Sighs and puts Stevie down so he can start melting the ice away from the forest around them-

[Doc] Brrrr... - shivers a little-

[Stevie] - Sorry...

[CP] - This will be awhile Doc, you might as well head back

[Doc] Ah, okay. -grins- Play nice you two.

[CP] Flips Doc off-

[Stevie] - I request somebody checking in to make sure I'm not dead every once in awhile

[Doc] Well respawn is on Stevie. Geeze. I wouldn't set up a hard core server knowing you were going to do dangerous things on it! I do actually like you, ya doofus.

[Stevie] - Yes but brother can hack

[CP] Uses a bit too much heat and accidentally sets a tree on fire-

[Doc] Stevie... do you really think he wants to kill you?

[Stevie] - Sometimes

[Doc] Walks over to Cp and fluffs hir hair really hard with both hands to get the rest of the honesty pollen out and on him- Now, ask him!

[CP] - You fucker!

[Stevie] - At you going to try and kill me?

[CP} - Want to but probably wont since you'll probably explode into super cold ice

[Doc] Is this a letter vs spirit of the law reply since you know the respawn is on Cp?

[CP] Shut up

[Doc] That would be a yes.

[Stevie] - I'm starting to feel hot again...

[CP] - You'll probably want to leave Doc...

[Doc] Okay. But I will check on you guys. - steps back out of the hole.

[Lie] - Be safe you two!

[Doc] Follows Lie back up to the surface-

[Hock] Is standing guard near the bathhouse and waves merrily-

[Doc] waves back- Nice to see everyone acclimating.

[Lie] - Yeah, it is pretty nice

[Eliza] Is heading towards the house to speak with Winston-

[Chester] Is scooting along quickly behind her-

[Doc] Grins- Looks like Eliza has a shadow.

[Lie] - Is that the new spider?

[Doc] Yeah, that's Chester. Have you talked to him yet? He's a bit of a dork, but polite.

[Lie] - No, I have not

[Doc] Pulls out the egg and balances it in one hand- Hey Eliza? Are you busy?

[Eliza] - Hm? Oh! Mistress, Doctor. No, I'm not terribly busy

[Chester] Nearly bumps into her because he's walking too close- OOH! Doc! - He looks up at Eliza to guage her reaction to them, and then scampers over-

[Lie] - Morning Eliza, I see you have a follower

[Eliza] Gives a slight bow of her head- Yes Mistress, the Doctor brought him from a different seed

[Chester] Is sort of picking his feet up and putting them down randomly like he's doing an excited dance- This is the mistress? Oh golly! Um... all hail!

[Lie] - There's no need for that, I assure you. What's your name?

[Chester] Chester, Mamm!

[Doc] He's from TLOT's home seed.

[Lie] - I see, well it's a pleasure to meet you. I doubt you've met my husband yet but he won't be around for awhile...

[Eliza] - Why is that Mistress?

[Lie] - Stevie... Has developed some powers and CP's walking him through how to control them

[Chester] You as well! You have such neat hair. It looks like silky spiderwebs.

[Doc] You liking your new home?

[Chester] Heart eyes at Eliza- Uuuuhh huh!

[Eliza] - Speaking of webs, Mistress, Winston asked me to repair some fabrics around the house, would you like me to get started on that?

[Lie] - Yes, it would be much appreciated

[Chester] I can help!

[Eliza] - You know how to weave and sew?

[Chester] I can make string! And I can make a web..... You could teach me!

[Eliza] - We shall see, we will take our leave now Mistress?

[Lie] - Yes, of course. I need to go speak with Alexis anyways

[Chester] Nice to meet you! - Runs towards Eliza and bumps into one of her back legs because he's going too fast.

[Doc] dawww

[Lie] - He's adorable

[Doc] I just hope she doesn't get annoyed and squish him. I forgot what a big spider she is.

[Lie] - Yeah, she's larger than normal spiders, I remember how freaked out I was the first time I saw her

[Doc] I would have been too, considering what the circumstances likely were.

[Lie] - Yeah...- Gives a small shudder

[Doc] Funny how things change. I wonder how Blake is faring with the new blazes? It seems like TLOT's mobs are full of suprises.

[Lie] - He's very frustrated with them

[Doc] I take it they're not much for fighting?

[Lie] - They're also not very bright

[Doc] Oh dear... Well at least they're keeping him busy?

[Lie] - So far

[Hoff and Moth] Approach them. The two pigladies are chatting amibly and chuckling a little- Hello!

[Lie] - Hello, are you two doing alright?

[Moth] We heard what happened to Winston. So scandalous! -giggles-

[Hoff] I had no idea he was such a ladies man!

[Lie] - What happened to Winston?

[Moth] He had sex with a human woman!

[Lie] - I'm sorry he what?

[Hoff] One of the creators no less!

[Doc] Snickers- I heard about this. I'm suprised you didn't. TLOT told me he came back with lipstick all over his skull.

[Lie] - Oh for fucks sake...

[Moth] His first time with anyone apparently. Poor thing. I understand he's been around for a while.

[Lie] - From what CP's told me he's always been focused on making sure everything was running smoothly

[Hoff] Oh, but you have to make a little time for fun. It's too stressful being serious all the time.

[Doc] The Doctor agrees with that - nod nod

[Lie] - I'm sure Winston got plenty of entertainment out of all the ridiculous situations the other mobs got into

[Doc] Oh just be happy for him Lie. I'm sure he's slightly annoyed with the low resolution around here.

[Moth] That nice Gold came around earlier to see if we needed anything and we said no, but we wrote them a little haiku to deliver with the paperwork so they'd wouldn't have wasted a trip.

[Hoff] I pressed a flower in mine. For our nice boss Cp.

[Lie] Is trying to suppress some laughter, already knowing how her husband will react to that-

[Doc] Is turning a bit pink trying not to laugh- You gals are doing great. Keep it up.

[Lie] - How are the others?

[Hoff] Francis and Baconn are so smitten with each-other. It's scary to think that what happened to us made them forget something so special as each-other.

[Moth] Hock would love to visit the library, but he's too shy to ask. Maybe you could assign him to accompany Ashe? Then he'd have a reason to go?

[Lie] - Hmm, well Ashe just had a growth spurt and is old enough to go by himself, but Willow and Oak on the other hand

[Moth] That might work.

[Lie] - Or I could ask him to get some for me

[Doc] Does he know where it is? Or just that it exists?

[Moth] I think you'll have to show him. I know it's kinda that way- Waves a hand in the vague direction of the library - but that's all

[Lie] - Ah, I see. I'll keep that in mind
