#but it comes out really badly and steve's like ummm okay...

[thorniest-rose]

Steve and Eddie are on a first date and Steve suggests they do some ice breaker questions because they're both a little shy and awkward, and Eddie agrees because he'll do anything Steve wants, he's on the verge of slapping himself that he's out on a date with Steve in the first place. And the whole conversation goes like this:

Steve: Okay, so we're at home and I suddenly pass out, what do you do? Do you–

Eddie: Fuck you while you're out, definitely.

Steve: ?????????

Eddie: What? Did I do it wrong?

Steve: Uh, I was going to say, do you call an ambulance, drive me to a&e or try to resuscitate me...

Eddie: Oh. Um. The first one?

You cringed as you heard the door slam, making the whole house vibrate. You could hear Steve’s large booming steps on the hardwood floor. You sigh and start up the paperwork you were doing before he got home.

The two of you had just gotten back from a mission, a tough one at that. You had jumped in front of Steve when multiple guns were being shot at him. You had taken a bullet to the top of your shoulder, it had almost missed. There was blood seeping through your suit and you immediately hit the ground, yelling in agony. You don’t really remember what happened after that, but Natasha had informed you that Steve had gone into a pretty hefty rage.

After you got back to the tower, you were given painkillers and bed rest for the next week. Steve, on the other hand, hadn’t spoken to you one bit. He didn’t speak to you on the quinjet, in the infirmary, and even when he left the tower. You assumed he had just been wandering around Brooklyn and trying to cool himself down. However, it seemed he failed at that.

So here you were, almost 3 AM, and just finishing up paperwork before a livid Steve to burst through your apartment door. He was very loud; he would curse and rummage about, making as much noise as it seemed possible. He took off his boots halfway to the couch and took large breaths to keep his cool.

He couldn’t get that vision out of his head. It was like your blood was still on him, fresh and thick as it splat onto his skin. You scared the living fuck out of him, considering that he would be utterly devastated, rotted to the core if you had died in his arms. He just got so angry at the fact that you would risk your life for his.

He knew he would do the exact same in that situation but for some reason he just couldn’t get your death out of his head. He can’t afford to lose the one thing keeping him grounded and loved and happy.

You peak yourself out from your studies, watching as a tear rolled down Steve’s cheek. Your heart dropped into your stomach at the sight, wanting to so badly comfort him. You ever so slowly walk over to him, and placed a hand on his shoulder.

That’s when he spoke up. “I thought I almost lost you.”

The defining silence told you everything, especially when he stared at you with sad orbs. You still sat next to him, watching as his tears continued to roll down his cheeks. “I can’t get that out of my head. All I can see is you in my arms stained with blood and I-” 

You shushed him and wrapped your arms around his shoulders. You pressed a small kiss to his temple, closing your eyes at his loud sobs. “I mean I- how can you be so reckless? How can you just risk your life like that? We’re in this relationship together!”

Your soothing movements stopped and you unwrapped your hand from his shoulder. How the hell was he going to talk to you like that when he’s the one that was making everything difficult?

What relationship was he referring to because it seemed like you were the only one trying to get to that point. You exhausted yourself it seemed like at every turn. You wanted to be more than just ‘this is my friend, y/n.’ You wanted more than to hide behind walls and closed doors.

Steve had made that quite clear with long nights under the stars, kissing feverishly that this wasn’t a one time thing. However, Steve has still yet to mark you, to make you his forever. 

“That’s juicy coming from you.” A full frown pulled at his lips. The venom that was laced between your lips made his heart pang. He was beyond confused and wanted an explanation, but his response seemed to fuel you even more. 

“What?”

You shook your head, now moved a couple of spaces away on the couch. “Look, Steve, I don’t know what you think this is,” You gestured your fingers between the two of you. “But if you think that it’s okay to ignore me like a child when all you think of me as a fling then you’ve got the wrong idea.”

Steve moved his head back in surprise, slightly widening his eyes. He had no idea you thought that. He assumed that you two were in it for the long haul. “You think this is a fling?”

You just roll your eyes as his expression turned cold. “I don’t, Steve. You do.”

Now, he was beyond confused, especially since he had not once thought of you as a fling or just someone to fuck around with. He thought of you as the light at the end of the tunnel.

“I don’t at all, baby-”

A sudden force of anger surged through you and you scoffed. He was the one that always left in the evenings. He was the one who wouldn’t take you anywhere. He was the one who caused you all this pain.

You were now standing, your body towering over his sitting one. “You haven’t marked me! We’ve been together for months, Steve! Every time I try, you just leave me feeling unwanted!” His expression turns into an acknowledged one, understanding how he made you feel. He didn’t mean to, he just wanted to do it on your terms but instead, he thought your advances weren’t ever sexual making you feel unwanted. 

“Oh, little love.” He came up to reach your cheeks and squished them slightly with his fingers. You tried to hover away from him, but it was no use.

“I didn’t want to pressure you, sweet baby. When you told me about your last alpha and how he treated you, I wanted to make sure we did it when you wanted. I’m so sorry for making you feel that way.”

A sigh escaped his lips as he pulled you into his lap, resting his hands around your stomach. His nose pressed up against your neck, leaving soft fluttering kisses. “I’m sorry, baby. Can I show you? Can I show you just how much I love you?”

You nodded and leaned into him, anger completely fading away with each kiss. He then had a tiny smirk on his face before latching his teeth into your skin.

You felt yourself gasp, gripping his forearms that were wrapped around you. His lips were soft on your skin, wetting the area wholly. Your scent had skyrocketed, arousal already dripping out of your cunt.

Steve growled, his senses only rising at your pure smell. You were squirming underneath him, not familiar with the touching love from an alpha. It was intoxicating and addicting, his scent masked of oak and mint which all the more made your mouth water with desire. 

“You smell so sweet, little love.” A whimper fell on your lips at the pull of your skin on his teeth. He nibbled on the sensitive skin, watching as you writhed with pleasure from just his lips attached to your neck. You couldn’t get enough of the man; you wanted him so badly it burned.

“You want me to mark you, sweet love? I’ll mark you with my knot.” You sigh in despair as his lips left you bare. He lifted you and turned you around so you were facing him.

He took out his already hard cock, pumping it slowly. You whined, watching as a breath of chuckles left him at your impatience. “Fuck,” he whimpered slightly at the feeling of your throbbing heat being exposed underneath your skirt.

He rubbed himself back and forth on the entrance of your slick, a tight moan sent your way. Your toes curl at the sensation of him plunging into you. “please, steve, p-please.”

He made you sink all the way and you could feel the bulging veins that prominently stood out on his member. “Fuck, y/n.”

All you could do was moan as he made a steady pace, his fingers dipping into your waist. You were bouncing up and down his large member, mewling as he sat up to attach his lips to your neck again. Both of your scents intertwined together, the love and passion of it all creating your bond. 

“Steve!” His hand moves up to your cheek, cupping it gently. He watched as you bounced up and down on his cock. Your slick had now spread onto his thighs, your scent flowing up into his nose and he almost came undone there. 

He felt himself latching onto your beloved cunt watching you take is cock perfectly. Of course he had many dreams about this moment. He would rub up. and down his cock, wishing it was you. However, he hadn’t imagined this much ecstasy and desire. He wished his cock could never leave you, filling you whole at all times. 

“That’s it, y/n.” He fucked you, again and again, watching as high pitched yelps echoed across the room. You couldn’t take much more. It was all getting too much; the sound of skin slapping, his sweet sensations he dug into your neck, and his cock fucking you raw. Your head flew back, screaming and shaking uncontrollably. Your legs trembled around his thighs and he groaned, feeling close himself.

“Steve, Steve, Steve!”

He moans. “Little love, you take my cock so well.” 

He fucked you good and went beyond your orgasm, keeping his word about knotting you. Watching you come undone was the single hottest thing he had ever seen.

Eyes blew wide he watched as you screamed his name in pure lust and love. He had you completely latched, shoving his load deep within your sensitive cunt. You whimpered a bit, Steve was still pumping in and out of you, slowly.

“Fuck, y/n.” You giggled as you wiped your Steve scented slick and brought it to your lips, licking the salty white substance. Steve groaned, his hand that was cupping your cheek was now tracing the features on your face.

You got up to go clean up the two of you before Steve grabbed your hips and pulled you back down with him. “I’m not done making my mark on you, little love.”

Survey #243

honestly too lazy to think up random song lyrics here, so just have the survey.

What is the one thing you remember most about January of last year? Nothing. You look at the clock and it’s 11:11, do you wish? I never do, no. How do you think you will look 3 years from now? I pray the fuck to god I'm finally at a weight I want. And of course more tattoos and piercings. And colored hair. What would be number one on your bucket list? Meet, thank, and hug Mark profusely while ugly crying. How old do you think you’ll be when you make your will? I don't know. You get a text message. who do you hope it is? Sara. Are there any songs that you hear that just make you wanna dance? Not really, no. Do you get any of your songs from Limewire? lol how old is this... but no. I did when it was "the thing," though. You and your best friend get in a fight. Why do you think that is? I don't know. Probably said something that came across wrong over a text. What is your biggest annoyance at the time? Financial shit. You see the person you fell hardest for. What do you do? Apologize to him if he's even okay with me speaking a word to him and then letting him on his way because I don't want to make him think I'm still stuck on him. I'd wanna know how things are in his life, but I don't want him to get the wrong impression. It'd be better for both of us. Have/are you depressed? I mean I'm diagnosed with depression, but it's well-managed. At the moment I'm not *depressed*, no. Did you grow up in the United States? Yeah. Never left it, even. Do you call anybody "baby"?

No. How old were you when you realized that life goes on? I don't know... This is such a vague question. But I guess probably when a childhood cat disappeared or died sometime in elementary school. Are your parent’s night owls or morning birds? Well, I don't live with Dad, but Mom is a night owl more than a morning bird for sure. She can be so grouchy in the morning. Do you like to sing? Eh.

What is your favorite type of cake? Red velvet, baby. How many rings do you wear on a day-to-day basis? One. Have you ever been in a mental hospital as a patient? Multiple times. Probably WOULDN'T have been multiple if the psych hospitals here were worth a damn. Went to the same one like five-six times and one other and both sucked. It was a partial hospitalization program, WHICH ISN'T AS "SERIOUS" AS AN ACTUAL FUCKING PSYCH HOSPITALIZATION, that saved my ass. What’s your favorite brand of flavored water? None. Have you ever had an ulcer? No. Do you take birth control pills? Not anymore, no. I was only on them for serious period pain, but as of recently my psychiatrist wanted to test out how I do mood-wise without them, especially as it was a regular occurrence for me to be borderline or actually suicidal the day before my cycle started, and the whole week leading up to it was sketchy. So far, I've been fine - I think even better. I was on it for years, and I mean your body changes, so. Do you like soy sauce? Noooooo no no no. Do you have a good doctor? My psychiatrist is literally the reason I'm alive. That's no exaggeration. I would've killed myself by now if it wasn't for him setting my medicine right. I know I would've.

Zeros on things I didn't do/missed. Who are your 3 closest friends? Sara, Girt, and uh... Chelsea, I think. Maybe Lisa. What is something you have always wanted to do?

Are you in a relationship? No. Do you like the band Hollywood Undead? Yeah. Do you like Taco Bell? Only the quesadillas, THE CINNABON DELIGHT THINGS, and fiesta potatoes. Who was the first person you spoke to today? My mom. Who was the last? I was just texting the woman who adopted Kaiju; she's catching me up on how she's doing, and apparently great! We're trying to plan a day for me to come see her. :> Have you told anyone you loved them today? Yeah. What song is stuck in your head right now? You mentioned HU, now "Bullet" is looping in my head lol. Does it snow where you live? Sometimes, but rarely a lot. What are you currently sitting/laying on? My bed. Have you ever dated a friend of one of your siblings? No. How old is your oldest living grandparent? 80-something. Do you wear contacts? No, I wear glasses, but I wish I could do contacts again considering I desperately want an undereye microdermal but it'd look stupid with glasses, so. Contacts just annoy me. Where are the last three places you went? Taco Bell, my doctor's appointment, and the gas station. Do you ever go hunting/fishing? I would never in my life hunt, and I don't even want to fish anymore. Both are cruel (hunting more than "cruel"...) imo. I'd only ever fish again if Dad asked me to go with him, because since I was a kid, that's always been our "thing," our bonding experience. I wouldn't be able to say no. Do you know anyone who is a nurse? A lot, actually. Would you prefer to own a lapdog or a bigger dog? Sigh. Didn't think I'd want a dog after Teddy, but as of very recently, I've found myself missing the companionship of one. I don't know if I'll end up with another, though, but if I do, I'd want a medium-sized one, like Teddy was. Are you more of a cat person? Yes. What is your worst subject? Math. Do you know anyone who plays guitar? Yeah. Do you play guitar? Not anymore. Have you had to have stitches at all in the last year? No. Have you ever stayed up all night and then gone to work in the morning? No. That sounds like hell. How many relationships have you been in so far this year? It's a week into January lmao. No. Do you prefer to be single or with someone? With someone. Though now that I am single, I kinda think that's for the better right now...? Eh idk. Do you have any tattoos? Yeah. Are you planning on getting any? Oh, plenty. My Mark tribute is getting tidied up by a great artist on the 4th next month and I CANNOT contain my excitement. Did you lose your virginity before you were sixteen? No. Have you ever dated someone who had a child? No, and I never would. What are the middle names of everyone in your family?

I don't want kids so like, Who is someone you aspire to be like? Man, there's a lot of people who inspire me in different ways. I think the world knows I look up to the wisdom, determination, dedication, creativity, compassion, etc. etc. etc. of Mark, I adore the heart and empathy of Shane Dawson, Steve Irwin is my absolute idol in terms of passion for animals, and Jeffree Star's work ethic is like, unbelievable. There are plenty others, but those really stand out. How do you feel about your life right now? oof What is your favorite game show to watch? Family Feud with Steve Harvey. He is so fuckin funny. How good are you in trivia games? What’s your best category? Idk. I'm probably best with animal knowledge though, judging from games I've played along with. Would you much rather test your knowledge or share opinions? I guess it depends on the subject and with whom. How do you feel about word games? Fun. Who is your absolute favorite film director? TIM BURTON. THERE IS NO COMPETITION W/ HIM. When’s the last time had to cover a coworker’s shift? Never. Have you ever had a really unreliable coworker? I've never worked long enough to know. Have you ever had to have a ring resized? No. What is a question you would never ever ask somebody? "I would never ask someone what they weigh." <<< This. I'm not a doctor, so I don't see any situation where that'd be an appropriate question to ask anyone. What sounds like a rude word but really isn’t? I'm sure there's something, but idk rn. Have you ever made a blanket? If so, how did you make one? No. How many godparents do you have? Do they care about you? Zero, I think. What is something that should not exist? Rape. Is there a word you have an emotional connection to? It sounds weird I'm sure, but "petrichor" (the smell of the earth after it rains) makes me feel... weird. Nostalgic, anxious, melancholy. Shortly before becoming a couple, Jason and I were just outside at school while it was raining, and we wondered what that smell was called. When we went back to the computer lab (where we were after exams were done), we looked it up and found out "petrichor" was the term. I remember those days too clearly for them to have happened eight years ago. How about a sound? Any emotional connection to a sound? Ummm not that I can think of. Is there something coming up that you are dreading? Not really, no. Do you ever read graphic novels? No. What is the most ridiculous product you have ever seen? Oh idk. Are there any spiders in your home right now? I mean realistically, probably? None that I know of. What was the last thing that made you laugh hysterically? I can't remember exactly what it was, but something on YouTube. I think on Game Grumps. Are there any candy stores where you live? Not that I'm aware of. Do you own any fingerless gloves? Yeah, I still have them in my drawer, actually. I wore them every day in high school. Tell me about the last animal you touched. My cat Roman. :') Have you ever witnessed a birth? Only cats. Can you see your reflection from where you are sitting? No. Wait, yes I can, though only slightly. My snake's cage is just across the room, so I can see against the glass a bit. Quick! Sniff the air. What can you smell? Cat. .-. Have you ever been in a restroom that actually had a restroom attendant? No? What was the last photo you took of? A deer! There were like, seven or eight in the field just across the road a few evenings ago. My lens didn't go out as close as I'd want, but I took some as practice anyway. I only got a few shots though; I came out to the front porch, and after about a minute, they gradually went back into the woods. What do you look for in a mate? Physically and personality-wise. Am I the only one who hates when human couples are referred to as "mates"???? Idk man it shouldn't because we're just animals, but it's weird. ANYWAY, I don't have like, a concrete vision of a partner, but I do have some set-in-stone personality/moral alignments that are musts, such as just being a generally good person, empathetic, you must love animals or shoo, be in touch with their emotions, understanding, soft stuff like that. I also have a strong preference for having a good sense of humor, I lean more romantically towards outgoing people, you gotta be laid-back and approachable... that kind of stuff. Physically, I really, really don't care, but I think we all have preferences; ex., while it really doesn't matter to me ultimately, I tend to find longer hair on guys more attractive than short. Your thoughts on bacon? Ugh, I wish I didn't love it. I wanna be a vegetarian again so badly. What are your thoughts on little kids with cell phones? If they're of an age where they may be separated from their parents semi-regularly and without the constant presence of a guardian, I'm actually for them having *simple* cellphones. Emergencies exist, and even I, someone who doesn't even want kids, would be scared knowing my child is without an easy, quick method of contact with me. Now, remember I did say "simple" cellphones; I don't believe a little kid should grow up unhealthily attached to technology (like me lmao), so especially in developmental years, I wouldn't want my kid to be glued to their phone playing games or roaming the Internet too freely. What was the last lie you told? I'm not sure. Is there anyone in particular you always try to tune out? Ugh, yes. For political bullshit that I cannot stand hearing. Do you work out? No. What was the last thing you ate with a spoon?  Uhhhh probably oatmeal. What is a food that you always are in the mood to eat? Ice cream lmao. Ever held a newborn animal? Yeah. Is there anything you’re in denial about? What? Maybe, idk. Have you ever been to a Chinatown? No. Do you prefer chunky or creamy peanut butter? CREAMY. Don't come near me with chunky pb. Do you stop to pick up heads-up pennies? No. Do you make a wish when you blow out your birthday candles? Yeah, even though I don't believe it does anything. It's just for the novelty of it. Do your pets have collars? Describe them: Bentley just has a blue, average collar. Roman doesn't because he absolutely hates them. What is the last thing you searched for online? Surveys. Do you use any scented lotions? What do they smell like? No. Do you have any friends that speak any languages you don’t understand? I mean yeah, Spanish is common in America.

Roleplay Server Log #374

“Sneeze Tp, Stevie Gets Stuck, Baby Shower, Kidnapped!”

[Lie] Once full of wonderful food, she's considering what she needs to do for the day-

[Karla] Walked back to tell Ever what was going on-

[Dawn] Is using Lie's swing and glancing over to check on her every few mintues.

[Lie] - I think I'll take some more vanilla to the village, I messed up last time

[Dawn] Shrugs- I guess? But you shouldn't go by yourself.

[Lie] - Oh all right, the green house is right there though

[Dawn] Glances over at Cp running around doing chores-

[Lie] Heads right for the green house, the plants perking as she gets closer-

[Lileep] Happy noises-

[Blake] Generally bothering Cp-

[Lie] - Hey there- She starts picking some of the vanilla but as she does her nose starts to itch and before she can stop herself, she sneeze teleports

[Dawn] Hears the noise and goes to investigate.

[Lileep] Confused tentacle wiggles-

[Dawn] Ummm.... -Yells- Cp!!!

[CP] Comes over- What?

[Dawn] Lie went in here, and now she's gone! - points at the Pokemon- Is that thing dangerous????

[CP] - The Lileep is harmless, did you hear anything at all?

[Dawn] I heard a sneeze, but that was all.

[CP] Curses- Damn it, she teleports whenever she sneezes!

[Dawn] Really???

[Karla] Comes back with a casual saunter- Are we gardening today?

[CP] - Lie sneeze teleported

-CP begins making his way towards Notch's house. Apart partway there his red zone heart suddenly flats brightly, becoming visible even through his back and he stumbles a little-

[Dawn] What in the world?

[Karla] I'm going to guess its nothing good...

[CP] - She's cold... Too cold...- He hurries to Notch's house and bangs on the door

[Notch] opens the door in such a hurry Cp almost knocks on his head- what's going on Cp???

[Dawn] is there any rhyme or reason to where she teleports to when it happens?

[CP] - Where's Flux? And no. Sometimes she teleports far, and sometimes it's only a couple of feet

[Notch] She's downstairs... - calls for Flux-

[Flux] Comes upstairs- Is everything alright?

[CP] - You can see the entire server at once and we don't know where Lie is

[Flux] - I understand- Both Karla and Dawn feel a slight pulse of magic as Flux disapates

[Dawn] Oh... so that's what she meant... I can see how that would be a mood killer...

[Notch] Huh?

[Dawn] Nothing.

[Flux] Within seconds she has located Lie and sends CP an image of the location-

[CP] Teleports there and quickly returns with his shivering wife who has a dusting of snow on her-

[Flux] Reforms next to Notch-

[Dawn] Well that was easy.

[CP] - Are you okay?

[Lie] - Y...  Yeah...  Just, really cold...

[CP] - Are you sure?

[Karla] Best warm her quickly or she might sneeze some more.

[CP] Teleports to the bath house-

[Flux] Smiles a little- Glad to see that little trick still works

[Karla] Trick? You mean manipulating him? That's fairly easy.

[Flux] Shakes her head- What I did was send him an image of where she was.  It's the same thing I would do when he would lose track of his brother on their original server

[Dawn] You're way of helping without revealing yourself I suppose.

[Flux] - Yes- She pauses briefly- Notch?  You may want to go check on your other son

[Notch] O-okay?

[Dawn] I'll go with you- points at Karla- you stay here!

[Karla] VERY sarcastic- arf.

-At that point a giant spike of ice erupts from Stevie's house-

[Notch] Starts to run- shit!

[Alexis] Comes running up as well since she had been out hunting- Stevie!

[Dawn] still in her robe and pjs from the night before- should i have brought a weapon???

[Flux] - No

[Notch] Reaches the house first- Stevie!

[Stevie] - I'm okay!  Just a little stuck!

[Notch] pulls out his notched pick axe and knocks the icy door off the hinges - I'm coming!

[Dawn] Well that's something you don't see everyday.

[Stevie] Winces in pain, his shoulder being the source and his leg is stuck in his own ice-

[Dawn] I hate to say it, but I think we need someone with less subtle powers then mine....

[Stevie] - Well, brother is usually the one who has to get me out...  I'm sorry, I don't think we've met...

[Dawn] I'm Dawn.

[Notch] oh I know who can help! Hang on. - he starts typing in chat and speaks to Stevie over his shoulder- she's a witch with some powerful allies.

[Stevie] - Oh, okay.  I'm Stevie

[Alexis] - Stevie...  What did you do this time?

[Stevie] - I'm not sure...  My shoulder just started hurting pretty badly though...

[TLOT] tps himself and Steve to Notch and clips him for a second- yikes, that is bad...

[Steve] Is just staring at the ice spike- Geeze

[TLOT] You just relax Stevie, I'll get you loose- advances with a little swirl of cloak-

[Stevie] - Thanks TLOT- He winces again

[TLOT] He grabs all that he can reach of Stevie and gives him a huge hug, turning his glitch up higher to melt the ice and filling the room with steam-

[Steve] looks at Dawn- your boyfriend threw a banana at me. That was weird.

[Dawn] Chuckles.

[Alexis] Just watches the air become more appropriate for Stevie's mushroom collection-

[Stevie] Watches as the ice melts away-  Sorry for disturbing your morning guys

[Dawn] It's okay, we'd just finished dealing with a different emergency.

[Steve] Smells the mushrollems - mmm I take it Yaunfen shared a bit of their gardening with you?

[Alexis] Laughs a little- Switched all the mushrooms for the dessert ones

[Stevie] - A different emergency?

[Steve] giggles- Cute jokes are the better then regular griefing by far.

[Notch] Lie sneezed away and Cp had to go get her.

[Stevie] - Is my niece okay?

[Alexis] Giggles a little at Stevie calling the baby his niece, knowing just how unfamiliar it still is on his tongue-

[Notch] Should be. Lie tped once with a hand on me and took me with her.

[Stevie] - That's good.  I don't even want to consider the amount of damage my brother might cause if anything were to happen

[Alexis] Sighs as she considers how all their food is currently buried under the ice-

[TLOT] That is quite a mess...

[Dawn] Will it melt if we leave it alone?

[Stevie] The ice finally melts enough for him to get free- Well...  It looks packed ice, so no

[TLOT] I could change it into something else for you?

[Alex] - That would be helpful, thank you

[TLOT] Gives his knuckles a little pop -any preference?

[Alexis] - Something easy to remove?

[Stevie] - Something useful?

[TLOT] That's at cross purposes, but I think I know what Stevie would like. - He sweeps in arm out and there's a slight flicker as the blocks flip from to #174 packed ice to #56 diamond ore. - That should also keep you happily occupied for the rest of the afternoon.

[Stevie] Grins a little-

[Alexis] Groans a little-

[Steve] Offers an iron pick- If you don't have one on you.

[Dawn] That was impressive.

[Stevie] - Nah, I'm good- He pulls out a diamond pick

[Steve] Gives him a high five instead. - yeh!

[TLOT] Gives Alexis a sideways look like - 'Steves. Heh'

[Stevie] Begins figuring out where he should start-

[Alexis] - I'm going to go hunt down some spare food in case we don't reach the food chests by dinner time

[Steve] Literally? Or go borrow something?

[Alexis] - Literally, it's what I was doing anyways

[Steve] Do you want some company?

[Alexis] - Sure, if you want

[TLOT] You guys have fun. I'd rather do some fishing.

[Stevie] - Do you need any diamonds father?

[Dawn] I'm going to go check on Lie and Cp.

[Notch] Same, and no thank you Stevie. I appreciate the offer though. - Gives him a little hug. - You be careful okay? Call one of us again if you start feeling weird.

[Stevie] - I will, and we need to have dinner sometime soon, we haven't done that in awhile

-Le little time passes-

[Lie] Is watching her animals wander their pens as CP deals with some mob stuff-

[Doc] Is hunting for Glitchy so they can retrieve some of the baby shower things and go visit Lie.

[Notch] Slips up on Lie - how are you feeling?

[Lie] - For the most part?  Tired, and cold, always cold now

[Notch] Aww. I'm sorry Lie. - He wraps her up in hug. - Can't be too much longer, can it?

[Lie] - We'll know when I enter the last stage.  Dawn told me that for the last month or so she's gonna gain a pound per week

[Notch] Yikes... maybe you should just stay in bed at that point?

[Glitchy] -Sitting with his Mew in the sun-

[Lie] - I know that's what CP would prefer too

[Doc] There you are, feel like delivering those presents today?

[Glitchy] Hmm? Oh sure!

[Notch] I hate to agree with him on something like that, but... it's not like he won't run himself ragged fetching you things.

[Doc] Calls for Deerheart over the chat- I found him, can you meet me there?

[Lie] - I know, but I also know my mood swings are putting him off guard too, and I don't want him to strain himself...

[Deer] - Sure!

[Yaunfen] Runs up with Waffles in tow- I've got all the stuff from the house mada!

[Notch] Bah, he's tough. And learning more responsibility can't hurt him. No reason for you to try doing it all yourself. It's his kid too.

[Doc] Come on Glitchy, let's go!

[Lie] - Now if only he'd actually ask his brother for help...

[Notch] I think Stevie might be quite afraid if Cp asked him for help directly.

[Lie] - This is true, maybe their father should give them a push?

[Notch] Wry look- Just putting it all on me huh?

[Lie] - Only because CP will notice if I slip away to talk to Stevie...  Mostly because I probably wouldn't make it there

[TLOT] Joins up with Doc, Yaunfen and Glitchy at the spawn - I got the food. Steve is coming too, he's just a bit behind.

[Deer] Comes up- Are we getting Hera or GK?

[Glitchy] -Null the mew chirps at everyone from Glitchy's shoulders-

[Doc] Don't have too- Points up just a giant red dragon buzzes them from overhead.

[Yaunfen] Hey no fair! - They shift and run after Gk-

[TLOT] Hey Glitchy, your kitty looks bright eyed and bushy tailed today. Ready to go do some good?

[Glitchy] You bet!

[Steve] Runs by them, he's trying to catch up with HG and mostly failing-

[Crim] - hears all the commotion and wanders toward the sound.

[Yaunfen] Spots him- Crim! I love your new scales!

[Deer] Takes Doc's hand-

[hg] hello everyone

[Steve] Blows past Hg since he slowed down to talk-

[HG] -giggles and steve's taking a while to stop-

[Waffles] Stops to sniff Crim- Mrr?

[Doc] Come on, lets get this party roling- Heads towards Lie's house.

[Crim] Yaunfen! Whoa.... Large meow... Hello - reaches paw out to pet

[Gk] Lands on Lie's roof and tip toes on his little hooves. Herabrine is on his head-

[Waffles] Allows petting with a curious expression.-very deep meow

[HG] -is jumping up and down excited for the party-

[Notch] Notices the dragon and side-eyes him without alerting Lie-

[Lie] Giggles a little as CP yells at Blaze Blake who still hasn't gotten the new blazes to obey him-

[Doc] Helps pass out presents to everyone who's giving something.

[Crim] - scratches - Ah, nice kitten. Where is you goings?

[gem] -fly's over head she has cookie and the two small enders-

[Yaunfen] Prances happily in place, - Baby shower! We're going to give Lie a bunch of stuff for the baby. You should come!

[Endrea] Is having some difficulty resisting sneaking up on GK-

[Crim] - is confused but nods - Not know why get baby wets, but I comes.

[Gk] Sneaking and peeking.

[Yaunfen] Good one! I don't get it either. But it should be fun.

[TLOT] Lets hope shes home.

[Deer] - I doubt CP would let her go far

[Doc] It's okay, I was whisper chatting to Markus. She's there.

[Notch] Kind of pats Lie's shoulder supportively and stays close to keep her from turning around. He can see Steve throwing down chairs and such around the side of the house.

[Endrea] Shifts to her dragon form behind GK, it's a little cramped on the roof, but her tail comes around to poke GK-

[Gk] Jumps a little and almost throws Herabrine off his head- SHHHHHHH!

[HG] -puts down a chest and fills it with a lot of food he had grown-

[Endrea] Smug look-

[gem] -lands and puts cookies in another chest and eddy and Edward climb down and run around-

[Doc] Helping lay stuff out -

[Glitchy] -Helping too-

[CP] Is a bit amused as wolf Blake tries to chase blaze Blake-

[TLOT] Waits until they're all done to signal to Notch-

[Notch] Solem pat - Either way. We should probably find you a comfy spot to sit Lie. Cp can take care of this stuff. -

[Lie] - Yeah, maybe near some lava?

[Notch] That's a good idea...

[Lie] Turns around to head for the house-

[Gk] Flares his wings hugely- SUPRISE!

[TLOT] Amplifes everyone elses echoing calls-

[Lie] Is very much surprised- Um... What?

[CP] Picks up on her emotions and turns towards the group as well-

[Doc] Hope you don't mind us dropping by Lie!

[TLOT] Laughs- You're about to have a lot less storage space...

[Steve] We brought baby stuff!

[Lie] - No, I don't, but... Why?

[Herabrine] Flies down- Because you're getting a baby shower ding-dong.

[Gem] yea can't have the baby with out getting a baby shower first

[Glitchy] Hell yeah!

[HG] we even brought food

[Lie] - Ooooh, right...  That's a thing...

[CP] Flew over and lands next to his wife- Now what is everyone doing?

[Steve] Having a party?

[CP] - Oh joy...

[Yaunfen] Starts unloading pastries onto a row of wood blocks-

[Deer] - Come on Lie, sit down

[Notch] Chuckles- You have a lot of stuff to go through, best to sit.

[Lie] Does go to a chair to sit, dragging CP with her so she'll have a heat source-

[Doc] Nudges Glitchy- do your thing, I know you've still got more in your bag.

[Glitchy] -Jazz hands before he starts pulling the gifts out of his bag. There is NO way all of it fits in there, but he keeps pulling them out! At one point a bike handle peaks out of the opening. Don't ask.-

[Lie] - Wha...  What all did you guys get  us!?

[Yaunfen] Peeking in the bag- Nice trick!

[Notch] I got you a carrier- Pulls it out. - It's too big to conceal.

[Steve] Hey Crim, want some food?

[Lie] - Oh, you didn't have to, although I suppose it will be useful whenever we go out

[Glitchy] So much stuff.

[Glitchy] -Goes in up to his shoulder in his bag to dig around a bit before pulling out a little hat.- So much.

[Doc] I got a crib. - Sets it down in front of her. - I'm still weirded out by the idea of putting a baby in a cage though.

[HG] -takes some of the food off the table to nom-

[Lie] - That will probably be in our room for awhile

[CP] - I'll find space for it

[Gem] -give eddy and Edward each a cookie-

[Lie] Starts looking at some of the things he others got for her-

[TLOT] So I was privy to a discussion about baby gates? I think I get it. - He solemly hands Lie a half stack of metal gate pieces that have been meticuliously coated with wool pixels in several clashing colors so there aren't any poky edges.

[Lie] - Oh, right!  These will be good for helping to keep her from falling down any stairs or ladders

[TLOT] Grins because he helped-

[Crim] - nods - I try... Not sure like.

[Gk] Hey Lie?  When do we get to steal Cp and get him blind drunk?

[Steve] What do you usually like Crim?

[Lie] - When you supply a heat source of equal or better heat levels

[Crim] Coal and Redrock.

[gem] -tries to offer endrea a cookie-

[Gk] Aww, man...

[Endrea] Lounging on the roof, she politely declines-

[Steve] Oh. I think I have some coal! - digs in his inventory and comes up with a small stack. - Here you go!

[CP] - Why do you need to get me drunk?

[Crim] - takes happily - Much thanks!

[Gk] Because you didn't get a bachleor party! And you won't have time once the baby is born.

[Herabrine] Does a little turn in the air and steals the cookie from Gem-

[CP] - Well it has been awhile since we got absolutely drunk...

[Lie] Starts opening the packages containing the onesies and laughs aloud at some of them-

[gem] -giggles at the at hera stealing the cookie-

[TLOT] I might be up for getting drunk...

[Crim] - looks around while chomping and leans toward Steve -  Why is baby gets wet?

[Steve] I don't know? It is a weird name for a party though. You're welcome. Hey, hows you're little friend? I heard you two have been spending a lot of time together.

[Gk] Perks up- what little friend?

[Crim] Pinwheel? Is fine, fine.

[Gk] Sneaks closer- You've been hanging out with Pinwheel?

[Steve] I heard she can talk now.

[Doc] Is pulling out more baby stuff-

[Waffles] Saunters over and rolls on Lie's feet-

[Deer] Grabs a bit of food for Lie as she opens gifts of clothes and blankets-

[Lie] Smiles and pets Waffle's head-

[Crim] Yes, she is talking very well. - looks up at GK - Yes, She friend. We like to be around each other.

[Waffles] puuuuuuuurrrrrr

-Distant sound of Blake being annoyed that the cat is near his human-

[Gk] Well I'm glad she's made a friend. She seemed pretty determined to avoid everyone.

[Doc] OH! Hey Glitchy, guess what I got?

[Glitchy] What?

[Doc] I got Deerheart a Porygon. It seems like old tech, but I heard they're kinda rare?

[eddy and Edward} -they are running around- they haven't finished their cookies either-

[Glitchy] What evolution? -Definitely interested-

[Doc] First, I think? They're really angular. It seems comfy in this resolution. It also beeps at me when it wants attention.

[Crim] She was... Not happy to not have people listen or understand her. Now she can speaks, is much easier. But she still like to be alones - snorts and scales flash.

[Glitchy] That's cool. Yeah, regular Porygon would fit right in here.

[Deer] - So Lie?  Have you and CP considered any names for your daughter?

[Doc] It's a lot calmer then the Goomy. It felt like giving up to trade it away but it wanted to fight all the time and I'm just not... well that's not how I want to spend all my time.

[Lie] Little knowing smile- Perhaps

[HG] -has wandered a little and is now watering all of lie's plants-

[Glitchy] That's understandable. I got my Lopunny from a friend who said it liked fighting a lot. It just really wanted some attention. -Shrug-

[Gk] Gives Crim a friendly nudge- You're doing good kid. If you can calm her down so she doesn't bite people randomly everyone will owe you.

[Lilleep] Waves at Hg with it's tendril arms-

[CP] Tosses a bit of meat in Blake's direction since he won't get close to Waffles-

[Doc] It was starting shit with the loose Gastly most every night and I certainly couldn't turn her out with all those babies.

[Blake] Happy woof and grabs the meat- rarrrarrrrarrarra!

[HG] -pets lilleep then water's them-

[Doc] She what are you going to name her? I know that look.

[Lie] Glances at CP- Should we tell them?

[CP] - Careful, your griefer is showing

[Lileep] Streches under the water and pops itself out of the ground- Lil!

[HG] i'm glad you like the water

[Lileep] Waves tendrils at the bucket-

[TLOT] Come on Lie, what's the name?

[HG] oh you want more sure -waters it more-

[Lie] - Aether, her name will be Aether

-There's a bit of fanfare and the greenhouse fills with light-

-Lileep has evolved into Cradily! -

[Deer] - Oh, that's a pretty name!

[Lie] - ...  WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN MY GREENHOUSE!?

[Doc] Uhh.

[Glitchy] Oh sweet! Something evolved!! -There he goes for the greenhouse-

[Steve] Worried look towards the greenhouse-

[HG] -pops head out of green house- sorry I was just water your plants to help and I watered  your pokemon and it evolved

[Cradily] Bouncing around on it's four stubby feet.

[Lie] Just sighs-

[Notch] That's a good name Lie. And that is also a weird looking plant.

[Glitchy] Nice! I've never had a Cradily before.

[Yaunfen] Lie? Do you want more failure plants?

[HG] -pets the cradily-

[Cradily] Weird noises, but it seems content-

[Doc] A bit proud- I traded a prospector for the fossil. And even more weirdly, a scientist brought it back to life for me and they didn't even get in trouble for doing it!

[CP] Is gathering all the stuff Lie as already opened-

[Lie] - Sure, I like their shifting colors

[Glitchy] Why would you get in trouble? Archeology is a respected class type and bringing things back from the dead is childs play.

[Yaunfen] Gives her three. - Mada and I have been doing science. It doesn't always work out...

[Glitchy] -Offers Cradily a berry-

[Lie] - That's alright, that's part of the fun of experimentation

[Doc] Looks very touched and resists the urge to hug Glitchy- I'm just... I'm not used to people being so open-minded... Cp tried to kill  me when he found out I made a body from a little bit of his code and Lies...

[CP] Growls a little-

[Glitchy] Well CP is kind of a prick...

[Cradily] Takes the berry and noms it-

[CP] - You do remember that I can mess stuff up in your room at the manor, right?

[Glitchy] ... Fair.

[TLOT] Don't be like that, you're proud of your status as a mean person Cp.

[Lie] Finds the blankets- Aww, these are so soft!

[CP] - Fuck you

[TLOT] Laughs a little-

[Cradily] Scares the fuck out of Blake.

[Blake] Goes yiping into the barn-

[Lie] - Oh dear...

[Doc] Doesn't someone else in your group have a fossil type Glitchy? I have an Archen, not sure if you've seen them around the castle.

[gem] -just calmly lays in the grass-

[HG] -takes a cookie from the chest gem put down-

[Glitchy] Uhhhhh...

[Lie] - Hey Hera, before I forget, CP met a glitched Alex recently

[Gk] Pokes Gem- Hows the budding romance going? A little birdie told me you were hanging out with an ender.

[Herabrine] Really?!?! I thought I was the only one.

[Gem] oh it's been going great she is so sweet

[CP] - She's rather new though

[Doc] It's more complicated then that as well. She should have been a normal Herobrine. She told me herself that she incarnated wrong.

[Herabrine] Geeze, that sucks...

[TLOT] She may be a he by the time you meet her Hera, I saw in her mind she was considering it. I'm sure she'll be back to ask me or Doc.

[CP] - She has to learn how to seed jump first

[Gk] No wonder you've been so scarce. Feathering your love nest, ha!

[Doc] Maybe, maybe not. I gave Licht my number before I dropped her off.

[gem] yea and our house hold is also very busy all the time

[Cradily] Wanders too close to Waffles.

[Waffles] Grabs the pokemon and busks on them while they cheep in a panicky way-

[Lie] - Ah!  Waffles!  Be careful!

[Waffles] Gives the Cradily a light bunny kick before letting it go.

[Cradily] Visibly huffy, jimmies have been rustled-

[Lie] Looks up to see what time it is-

[Steve] We should eat before it gets late- Starts passing out food-

[Lie] - Thank you Steve

[CP] Is repairing a bit of fencing the next day after feeding Lie's animals-

[Sammn] - comes stomping by, muttering under her breath. She's followed by Helm, frantically signing at her and Legion, hopping noisily on their heels.

[CP] Cocks a brow- Well that's quite the little circus you have following you

[Sammn] - comes to a sudden stop, making Helm stumble back almost into Legion - They are something... I will give you that.

[CP] - So what are you up to?

[Sammn] Heading toward Doc's. I may have to take them up on their suggestion... As - she waves at Legion - has not been able to fix my memories as it promised.

[Legion] - coils it's tentacles on top of itself - We did what we said we would. We can't fix what others broke.

[CP] - Joy, I may as well come with you

[Sammn] If you wish, I'm getting overly used to having a group on my heels.

[CP] - I'm coming because Doc will probably want to see if my dream abilities can do anything

[Helm] - signs and waves at Legion, clearly not happy. Then points at CP.

[Legion] - snickers and opens its blue eye - You should learn better manners, beast.

[CP] - Do you know what it's on about?

[Sammn] Which? Helm.. Is worried that Legion is scheming and has something  horrible planned. Legion... Is Legion. It's bound by our deal, although Helm refuses to belive it will honor it.

[CP] - Can I set it on fire if it doesn't?

[Sammn] At this point, I'm almost willing to let you... Karla has offered to help with it as well.

[Legion] - bristles at Karla's name

[CP] - She's handy too, had a lot of fun destroying that town with her

[Sammn] I can only imagine. She strikes me as someone who is quite inventive when it comes to inflicting pain. - Leers at Legion, who leers back.

[CP] - Just watch your backside with her, she tends to pounce

[Sammn] Another thing I'm used too - sighs and starts off again. Helm darts after her, making sure to keep themself between her & Legion, who is leasurly hopping behind.

[CP] - Yeah, well, can't say I didn't warn you

[Sammn] - mutters softly - At this point it might be welcome

[CP] - Well I'm pretty sure she wouldn't object...

[Sammn] Always an option if things don't work. According to Legion, dying was what messed things up the first time.

[CP] - Dying is not what I'm talking about

[Sammn] - sighs and keeps walking.

[Doc] Walks out on the side porch and gives a happy strech, hir little pleasure is ruined by Traveler striding up-

[Traveler] YOU.

[Doc] What did I do?

[Traveler] It's not what you did. I just need you. Come with me now.

[Doc] Umm, but I'm-

[Traveler] NOW.

[Traveler] Heads for Lie's house in a huff-

[CP] - Well, at least we're almost at the castle

[Doc] Follows with a resigned sigh.

[Traveler] Sees the other group approaching- Even better. You guys come with me too.

[CP] - The fuck are you on about?

[Traveler] Business.

[Sammn] Business is vague is it not.

[Doc] But if it's something official, why don't you ask TLOT?

[Traveler] Pauses to give Doc an unhappy scowl, and then keeps walking- You'll see.

[CP] - Oh this should be entertaining

[Sammn] Do I want to even ask?

[Traveler] Is headed for the cage at a very fast clip-

[Doc] Probably not....

[CP] Glances at his house before sending a quick message to Notch, letting him know that he'll be occupied for a bit-

[Sammn] - turns toward Helm - Stay or come, choose now.

[Notch] Perks and then reports for babysitting, of a sort.

[Helm] - looks at Legion, CP, Doc then sighs and signs they'll come.

[Traveler] Already heading down into the cage-

[CP] Teleports down ahead of everyone-

[Sammn] Great. Legion you are coming no matter what. (Legion huffs but keeps quiet)

[Traveler] Slams the door open and stalks past him to open a way into TLOT's seed-

[Doc] Hangs back to wait for Sammn and her associates-

[CP] - And why are we going there?

[Traveler] Like I said, you'll see. I don't feel like repeating myself.

[CP] Walks into the portal with a shrug-

[Doc] Waits for everyone to get through and then closes it.

-On the other side is a small desert village, it looks fairly remote and only has one large building. It's daylight and the Testificates are mostly in a huddle nattering fearfully to one another.

[CP] - Oh joy, what now?

[Traveler] brushes past them in annoyance.

[Testificates] Notice the others and a hush falls over them, one breaks away from the group. She's a rather matronly herm-

[Candy] Oh! Have you come to help us?

[CP] Shifting into diplomatic mode- What seems to be the problem?

[Candy] Our blacksmith was kidnapped! We hope he's still alive, but... none of us are brave enough to go after his abductors.

[CP] - Do you know who kidnapped him?

[Doc] And why would anyone steal a blacksmith?

[Sammn] Either they want something made or something destroyed.

[Candy] Please come with me... she leads them around the large building, which is obviously an elaborate forge and behind it is a bad spot of chunk. There's a portal to the nether and a scattering of netherrack around it as if it was teleported there.

[Doc] Angry hiss-

[CP] Grins- Well this will be fun

[Traveler] Is just tapping her feet like they're wasting time-

[Doc] Looks at the forge thoughtfully and then... - What's their name? Your blacksmith?

[Candy] Sniffles - Bismuth.

[CP] This immediately catches CP's attention- What?

[Candy] Is that, important?

[CP] - It could very well be

[Traveler] Are we going or what? They were only taken last night.

[Helm] - signs at Sammn, then pulls sword and ready themself. Sammn just stares at Helm for a second before shaking head. - Might as well.

[CP] Moves swiftly, slipping through the portal-

-It's the Nether. It's hot as balls. There is lava. And a few magma cubes bouncing down a hillside.

[CP] Floats up, looking for any sign of where Bismuth could have been taken-

[Doc] This sucks... - they start hunting around for traces.

-There's a bit of a path a little farther on where someone cut through a slide of soul sand -

[CP] - I think I see something!

[Doc] Follows Cp from below-

[Traveler] Is holding her dirtblock and scowling as she follows.

[Sammn] Follows. Helm is looking everywhere, on edge and Legion has its Green eye open (scouting).

[Ghast] Wanders closer-

[CP] Summons his weapons-

[Doc] Ends up dodging a fireball - I hate the Nether!

[CP] Swoops at it and digs his sword into the ghast, slicing it open and leaving it to die-

[Magma cube] Is sneaking up on Legion curiously-

[Legion] - hears the plopping sound of the cube and opens the Orange eye on its back to stare at it.

[Magma cube] Amourous noise-

[Legion] - growls deeply and waves several tentacles in an odd pattern. The ground around the Cube darkens and seems to liquidify.

[CP] - Let's go!

[Magma cube] Makes a break for it-

[Doc] Geeze, just leave it be. You do look like it.

[Sammn] Legion, leave it.

[Legion] - huffs and reopens green eye - For now, we shall.

-The path leads around an outcrop and towards a bridge across a lava lake-

[CP] Just keeps flying-

[Traveler] Starts to go across-

-Several blazes rise out of the lava and toss a few fireballs-

[Traveler] Angry dodging-

[Doc] Just runs to avoid them-

[Helm] - darts forward and slashes one, knocking a rod off.

[CP] Fireballs back at them-

[Sammn] - mutters something and the ground rises up toward one of the blazes, collapsing ontop of it.

[Doc] Sees the others fighting and throws a cobble chunk into the face of one of them, sending it back under the lava with a gooey -plunk!-

[CP] - Let's keep moving, I don't want to be here long

[Traveler] Is already at the other end of the bridge-

[Doc] I'm coming!

[Sammn] - follows with Helm & Legion.

[CP] Keeps searching ahead-

-There's a male voice from ahead of them- Unhand me you zombies! Somebody help me!

[Doc] Hears it and motions for the others to go quiet.

[CP] Slips behind an overhang-

-There's a small party of pigmen with black masks carrying a very old and tied up Testificate-

[CP] Grins and without asking for permission he races forwards, weapons ready to kill-

[Helm] - signs - I don't recognize those kin, why are they wearing masks?

[Doc] Peeking - I don't know. It's creepy. But we've certainly found our quarry.

[CP] Slices into the back most pigmen, taking them by surprise-

[Traveler] Clocks one with her dirtblock and the broken sword is briefly visible as it slices into their face-

[CP] Is just having fun murdering most everything-

[Sammn] Hang on, let's see if I can judge this right...*mutters* and a single lightning bolt arcs down and strikes one pigmen, dropping it.

[Pigmen] Fight a bit stiffly, as if sleepwalking.

[Legion] - takes the chance of Sammn casting to hop closer to the fray. As soon as it's close enough, it snakes out several tentacles and impales the closest pigmen.

[CP] - This is way to easy

[Legion] - stares at lifeless pigmen before tossing it aside - These beasts have no minds of their own.

[Doc] Well they are zombies.

[CP] Is covered in fetid blood and dispatching the last few pigmen-

-The Testificate is wiggling around trying to get free. He's obviously scared shitless of both Cp and Legion-

[Sammn] - runs toward them - Legion, back off!

[Traveler] Looks at him critically-

[Testificate] HOLY CRAP A NOTCH!!! HELP!!!

[CP] - You're fine!  I'm your freaking god of war and that one back there is the healing god or whatever

[Testificate] Passes the fuck out-

[Doc] Well shit.

[CP] - Well at least he's not struggling anymore

[Sammn] - comes to stand over Legion. Helm comes over to examine one of the dead Pigmen's masks.

-It's flat black and featureless, probably obsidian-

[CP] Reaches down and picks up the testificate, tossing him over his shoulder-

[Doc] Well considering that murdering zombie pigmen tends to piss them all off, we should probably leave...

-The old man is quite light under his layers of leather clothing-

[CP] - Let's go then

[Helm] - picks up a mask before signing - I've never seen something like this. Wonder why they were wearing them.

[Traveler] We've got company! Let's go! - there's a growing noise that sounds like more pigmen-

[CP] - I could teleport everyone?

[Doc] Please do!

[Helm] - tucks the mask away

[CP] Focuses his energy in the area and teleports the group back out into the overworld-

[Candy] Comes rushing up followed by several other villagers- Is he okay???-

[Sammn] Just scared senseless, here. - pulls out a potion bottle.

[CP] Puts him down-

[Doc] Is already destroying the portal-

[Candy] Bismuth? - patting his face-

[Traveler] Cuts the old testificates bindings-

[Sammn] - motions to sit him up so they can give them the potion.

[Candy] Helps him upright and puts the bottle to his lips-

[Bismuth] Coming around- Gracious me....

[Doc] Comes back over-

[CP] - Now then, who are you exactly?

[Bismuth] Suddenly looks cagey for his years. - Nobody...

[CP] - Then why did those pigmen grab you?

[Bismuth] I don't know?

[CP] - Then what is your specialty?

[Bismuth] Fire and... other things.

[Candy] No. You remember what happened last time you played with fire. No fire!

[CP] - Fire?

[Candy] Shoos away the other villagers- We should go inside.

[Doc] But he's a blacksmith? He can't have fire???

[Sammn] Playing with fire? That could be why he was dragged to the Nether.

[CP] - What does he do?

[Candy] Helps Bismuth up and starts walking him inside- He should be in bed.

[Doc] Come on Cp- follows

[Traveler] reluctantly follows

[CP] Follows with a scowl-

-The inside of the forge is spacious and there is a lava spawn block but it's got a metal grate to keep anything being put into it.

[Sammn] Follows but back a bit cause of Helm & Legion.

[Candy] Helps the old Testificate onto his bed. - He's a great help to us. - She pats his shoulder-

[CP] - What does he have to do with fire?

[Bismuth] I like fire..... - there's a dangerous glitter in his eyes.

[Doc] Oh dear.

[CP] - Can you do something unique with it?

[Candy] He can't have fire because the last time he had access he made a terrible thing out of it.

[Bismuth] Offended- It was beautiful...

[Legion] Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder - it's orange eye is open & watching.

[Candy] He somehow turned a bow, some tar, gunpowder, a torch, and a flint into a thing that throws fire from a distance. So we encourage his other hobby instead.

[Doc] That is horrible!

[CP] - Other hobby?

[Candy] Smiles - he's good with making flexible things out of dehydrated slime.

[CP] - Flexible things?

[Bismuth] Hehe saved my ass a few times. Wish I woulda thought of it when I was younger- huffs.

[CP] - What exactly are they?

[Candy] Old pervert. They're sleeves. For preventing children.

[Doc] OH.

[Bismuth] Giggling like the ancient fucker he is-

[CP] - Oh for fucks sake, that's it, I'm going home

[Doc] Why would it have made a difference at a younger age?

[Bismuth] Because then I'd have left fewer children behind my exploits ya whippersnapper.

[CP] - Do you know all the names of your kids?

[Bismuth] Nope. Got run outta town before most of em were born.

[CP] - Doc?  Can you look at his coding?

[Doc] What do you want me to look for?

[CP] - The equivalent of a genetic marker

[Doc] Okay???

[Bismuth] You leave me alone. I don't trust weird looking librarians.

[CP] - Oh for fucks sake, if my hunch is correct then we might know a relative of yours, possibly a child or grandchild

[Doc] How about I just make a copy and you can look at it later?

[Bismuth] Annoyed - Don't touch me

[CP] - Do you really think I'll have time for that?

[Doc] Then I will look at it! Geeze.  - They place a command block and grab the old mans hand to lay on it for a moment- There....  annnnnnnnnnnnnd done. Lets go home.

[Traveler] Finally.
