Roleplay Server Log #266

“Murder Scene, Cloudrunners, Gem the Dragon, Brothers Spar”

[Lie] Is working on her garden, finally having recovered from CP eating everything in her house when he had been regrowing-

-There's the distinct sound of a slap falling on diamond armor and someone giggling from the front of the house-

[Lie] Looks up with some confusion and shouts kinda loudly- Hello?

-A large golden cat leaps over the garden wall and scatters carrots as he ineffectually hides behind her-

[Steve] Comes huffing into view- No fair!

[Lie] Sighs in acceptance- I just planted those...

[TLOT] Full body shake - Whoops! Sorry Lie....

[Steve] I'll help you replant them.

[Lie] Gathers them up- No need, I got this.  Don't need them too badly anyways, finally got them all replanted now after CP eating everything in my house

[TLOT] He was certainly a hungry little kitten.

[Steve] Smiles hugely- Doc got some good screenshots.

[Lie] Grins- I saw.  So what are you two up to?

[Steve] Well we were checking up on the villagers but on the way home somebody decided to play slap and tickle...

[TLOT] Happy cat blep-

[Lie] - I see.  Hey, do you guys need any more vanilla?  I've got a lot again and I just gave some to the village a little while ago...

[TLOT] I guess, we can always give some away on my seed. I think the Testificates would appreciate it.

[Lie] - Well if we wanna head over there, I wouldn't mind stopping by briefly

[Steve] Just in the mood for some adulation, lovely goddess?

[Lie] Sticks her tongue out at Steve-

[TLOT] Hops up on the wall and fluffs Lie's tongue with the tip of his fuzzy tail-

[Lie] Sputters as some of the fur sticks- TLOT!

[TLOT] Walks delicately along the narrow edge of the wall, obviously showing off- Yeeess?

[Steve] Giggles-

[Lie] Summons some vines behind him and gives him a tiny nudge-

[TLOT] Wobbles and then leaps nimbly down. - Always be yourself, unless you can be a cat.

[Lie] - I think human form might be better for a visit, unless you're absolutely determined

[TLOT] I would never visit them like this, but it is fun. Doc is the one who really loves to flaunt their non-human shape.

[Lie] - True, but they've earned it

[TLOT] Eyebrow. Then he shifts back to himself with a little flourish of cloak - Feeling a bit salty today Lie?

[Lie] - No!  Just...  A little stressed after the last outing...

[Steve] Huh? Did you run into Offender again Lie?

[Lie] - No!  Um, we met a friend of Arden's- The unspoken part is "And also his mistress"

[TLOT] Sounds kinky.

[Lie] - Starts blushing- I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!

[TLOT] Are you suuure?

[Steve] Is getting the shape of things from TLOT- Oh dear... are you okay Lie?

[Lie] There are flashes of what happened-

[MA] -Happens to be wandering by, humming idly-

[TLOT] Oh.. I'm sorry Lie. She sounds like a rather... pushy person.

[Steve] Hey Alex. what's new?

[MA] Hm? Nothing currently. Just wandering.

[Lie] Little whine-

[Steve] We were just about to head out for a bit.

[TLOT] So many Testificates, so little time...

[MA] Mind if I tag along? Better than what I'm doing.

[Lie] - Well at least the main thing needed to do is just check on them every once in awhile

[TLOT] Of course. Thankfully they're mostly self-managed. I'd hate to be responsible for them 24/7.

[Steve] Sure!

[MA] Sounds like fun.

[TLOT] Okay. Follow me then. - He starts to walk towards the opening and leads them down into the tunnels-

[MA] -Follows-

[Steve] Opens the door to the cage-

[Lie] Steps through and smiles at her offensive pod-

[TLOT] Gets down in front of the console and opens the way. On the opposite side of the portal is a vista of warm sand and sunshine.

[MA] Is.. There a reason we're going in a ca-- wh at the fuck is that? -hunched down to floor, squinting up at the pod-

[Steve] Waves at the plant-

[Lie] - Relax, it won't hurt you

[MA] That's what they said about bomb spores! I do not trust it one bit. Nope. Nope nope.

[Lie] - I created it, it's my means of defense

[TLOT] It's bite isn't lethal, but a victim might wish it was.

[MA] -Suspicious stare at it- ... Creepy.

[Lie] - Shall we go?

[Steve] is already on the other side and kicking sand a bit-

[TLOT] Just waiting for you guys. I don't like leaving this open.

[MA] Yeah-- Before than thing freaks me out anymore... -Swooosh to get onto other seed-

[Lie] Walks through and sighs happily in the desert heat-

-It's just a short walk to the wall of the city and the top edges of the walls are covered with the little thorny vines and a few pods as well. -

-The pods all make a hissing noise at Lie, recognizing their creator-

[Lie] Smiles and pets a couple of them-

[MA] -You bet the most suspicious glances at every pod as he passes them-

[TLOT] Just strides along unitl he reaches the front gate. There's a bit of commotion as he passes inside, and his face lights up under his helm at the sea of smiling faces.

[Lie] Feels TLOT's energy and laughs softly before leaning and whispering to Steve- He's almost like a kid in a candy shop

[Steve] Yep!- Rushes a bit ahead of him and touches a lot of hands happily in the crowd-

[Testificates] Some creep close to get a good look at Alex-

[MA] -Small hand wave and friendly smile-

[Sprlhm] My lord! And you brought friends!

[Cherie] Zeros in on MA- You look like an Alex? But different?

[Lie] Is looking at the gathered Testificates-

[Steve] Thumbs at Ma- This ones a mal-

[MA] -still a few suspicious glances at any nearby freaky pods™ here and there-

[Cherie] How extrordinary!

[MA] Hmm? Oh- Yeah.

[Sprlhm] My Lady, you changed your hair! It's lovely.

-Some of the costumed children are here and there amongst the crowd-

[Lie] - Oh!  It really wasn't by choice...- She smiles at how adorable the children are

[Cherie] It looks nice all the same. We've been taking good care of your little ones as well.

[Sprlhm] Kore is known far and wide as place of love now, as well as trade.

[Cherie] Many a mother blesses your name my lady. - winks-

[MA] -Light foot tapping while listening to the talking-

[Lie] - That's wonderful!  Oh, and I've brought something for you.- She pulls out the vanilla for them

[Sprlhm] Sniffs the pods- How wonderful!

[Steve] Here, I'll show you how to plant them.

[Cherie] Motions for an acolyte to come running up and accompany Steve to the garden-

[Steve] I'll be right back-

-Some kids run by dressed as some of their friends-

[Lie] Spots the child and giggles at the crude costume of Doc-

[TLOT] That one is ambitious- Smiles as well-

[Lie] Spots the stage and glances at TLOT- Splender?

[TLOT] Oh yes. He made everyone quite happy. So do you folks have any news for us?

[Cherie] There was some odd weather a few days ago, but nothing was damaged. It rained rather heavily in the desert, but nothing since.

[Lie] - Rained in the desert?

[Sprlhm] Gets a rather serious look - There was a murder as well. But no one who will be missed.

[TLOT] Brow furrows- Murder?

[Sprlhm] Someone who had been a trouble maker. An old Testificate who still carried the banner of the evil NOTCH. He was slain by a wandering hero. He'd been using zombies to terrorize the nearby villages anyway.

[Cherie] We didn't realize he'd been at the heart of it until he was already dead. We're working on improving commuications between the towns, so all kinds of news is coming in now.

[Lie] Glances at TLOT- Did you know the testificate that was killed?

[TLOT] Yes... He tried very hard to kill not just me, but anyone who might have agreed with me. I thought he was already long dead... Good riddance.

[Lie] - Do you...  Want to go to the scene?  Just to be certain?

[TLOT] I think so, yes...

[Steve] Comes back and see's his mates grave expression. The shape of it takes form in his head and he embraces TLOT warmly- It's okay.

[Lie] - Should we take horses or what?

[Steve] Ma? Can you ride?

[Sprlhm] You're free to take some of ours.

[MA] A horse? Probably not much different from a Mammoth.. Yeah?

[Lie] - I could always quickly hop back to the server and grab ours

[TLOT] If you want. Can you get them all on your own with an extra for Ma?

[Lie] - Absolutely

[TLOT] Steps away from the crowd and makes a hole for her-

[Sprlhm] I can tell you where-

[TLOT] No need. I can see the way in your mind.

[Lie] Quickly hurries through and after a few minutes she returns with Hellion, China, Beau, and a black mare for MA- Alright, here we go.  Alexsezia sends her regards

[Cherie] She is well? Splendid!

[Beau] Is snorting and pawing somewhat franticly, the sun glinting off of his golden armor-

[Lie] - What is with you?

[Testificates] Ooh and keep their distance from the two undead horses-

[Beau] Paws and turns a tight circle-

[Lie] - Really?  Fiiiine- She steps closer to her stallion and unequipts all of his tack and armor.  Beau immediately races a little way into the sand and starts rolling- And I just cleaned you too...

[Steve] Hops up on China with a chuckle-

[Hellion] gallops over and joins Beau rolling-

[Lie] Hands the black mare off to MA- She's easy to handle and will pretty much just follow the group unless something really spooks her

[TLOT] Silly horses-

[MA] -Hesitates a second before hopping up onto the mare- Alright.

[Lie] Watches Beau until the horse is finished, standing up and shaking the sand off of himself- You better have gotten it all off, otherwise it's gonna itch you under your tack!

[Hellion] Hops up with a snort and shakes off with a happy groan -

[Testificaes] Smiles and some muffled giggles-

[Beau] Trots over to Lie and nuzzles her-

[Lie] - Yeah yeah, love you too- She starts to re saddle him,-

[TLOT] Brushes off Hellion's back before hopping on. He's not bothering with tack at the moment.

[Lie] Mounts and Beau is restless- Should we get going?

[Sprlhm] Safe journey!

[TLOT] tch tch- And they're off into the desert wastes-

[Lie] Gives a content sound as they ride-

[TLOT] We've got a little ways to go, it's in a really secluded spot-

[Steve] Crouches on China and shows off a bit-

[Lie] - Should we pick up the pace then?

[MA] -Humming a bit as he follows behind them-

[TLOT] Of course- Hellion breaks into a full gallop -

[Steve] Gives China a nudge and they sail easily over a small pond-

[Lie] Urges Beau faster as well-

[Black mare] Senses the groups increase in speed and automatically speeds up herself-

-The miles roll away under them and the sun starts dipping low very quickly -

[TLOT] Damn - We have two humans with us... we should hole up somewhere for a bit...

[Lie] - The horses could use a rest too...

[Steve] Is looking for a high place to make a hole-

[TLOT] Spies a small natural cave up a rock wall- That'll do. Follow me- He picks his way up and rides Hellion inside. - Just knock the stairs away once everyone is up.

[Steve] Checks the back of the cave and lays down torches -

[Lie] Summons vines to cover the entrance-

[TLOT] Sets up a small pen for the horses and some water from a hole in the wall.

[Beau] Eagerly drinks from the hole while the mare waits her turn-

[Steve] Happily pats China

[China] Makes a pleased noise like wind in a seashell.

[Lie] - Okay, so who has food?

[TLOT] I do, always. Mostly junk but nothing to sneer at. Lets see... - starts pulling things out - I've got most of a pizza, some porkchops, a pumpkin pie... and this - with an evil grin he takes out the tiniest piece of cheese-

[Steve] Gags - EAT IT OR PUT IT AWAY!

[Lie] - NO!

[TLOT] Pops it in his mouth and chews it with a blissful expression-

[Lie] - Ugh, hand me one of those pork chops, I don't even want to think about cheese right now

[TLOT] Passes her the hunk of meat-

[Lie] Starts chewing on it-

[Steve] I have so much junk right now from babysitting Yaunfen- He turns a lot of candy out of his inventory, plus some cinnamon rolls and several ice cream cones. - Oh thank goodness - He finds a loaf of bread and starts eating it

[MA] -Settles into a corner, tucking his legs under him comfortably. Nibbles on some food from his inventory. The seashell wind noise from earlier reminding him of home-

[TLOT] Need some food Ma? -offers a slice of pizza

[MA] Nah, not interested. I'm good with my stuff. -Raises Dumbledang pod a bit before resuming nibbling. His other hand is tapping a pattern beside him-

[Steve] That sounds catchy-

[Lie] - Well he is a musician

-Assorted mob noises from outside-

[TLOT] Critics...

[MA] The noise the skeleton horse made reminded me of home.

[Steve] Home? How so?

[Hellion] Contented wheeze.

[MA] Like a seashell noise. Mix spent a lot of time on the beach of Cape Claw.

[MA] Cloud Runners liked to frequent.. -Distant look and change of finger tapping pattern-

[Lie] - What are the cloud runners? I think I remember Mix maybe mentioning them once...

[MA] I think the closest thing to describe it was a... Uhhh... Fancy pterodactyl? I could probably draw a picture of one uf i had some charcoal and paper...

[Steve] I have some paper and a few crayons. - Pulls them out and sets them down, with a little blush - I do a lot of babysitting.

[MA] I had to too, no shame in that. -Starts sketching away, humming a tune-

[Steve] It's okay, it's pretty fun. Gk has got the really rambunctious charges. Yaunfen is such a sweet little dragon.

[Lie] - Willow and Oak have been playing outside a lot

[MA] Taking care of Mix was suffering. The other two didn't keep an eye on her and she would get into all the trouble she could. Atleast NK kept an eye on her when she visited... Prince would for like... three seconds. Then I'd find her playing with the Redeyes and want to strangle him.... -Small flashes of a teeny child Mix playing with what is definitely 3 TREX's floats in the air since he's thinking very intensely on that-

[TLOT] Oh dear... those look rather fierce.

[Steve] Awww. At least she had her brother.

[MA] -rubs chin and eyes sketch a bit- I suppose... At least in the Hollow she wasn't actively near anything that could eat her... -Adds some detail to the Sketch-

[Steve] Scoots over to see his drawing better - Hey, that looks like Celine!

[MA] Celine?

[TLOT]  You've met MasterHerobrine right? He's got a little orange dragon that kinda looks like that. That's Celine.

[MA] Maybe.. Probably. Sounds exciting.

[Steve] He's kinda harsh. He really likes to fight.

[TLOT] He's the one that injured Doc and glitched them, before we all met.

[Lie] Tosses the horses some food-

[Hellion] Just kinda sniffs the hay and makes a huffing noise.

[MA] Could introduce a few to Celine.. I've seen a few over the water...

[TLOT] What? HERE?

[MA] No- Not here. On the server. ... I mean... I haven't checked for any here...

[Steve] Pokes Lie. - Hellion likes meat...

[China] Also sniffs the hay and even picks a bit up, but it just kinda falls out the other side of their jaw bone.

[TLOT] How would you even check for that?

[Beau] Happily eats as well as the mare-

[Lie] - Hey TLOT, you have any more meat for your horse?

[MA] It's pretty basic but I could just play the summoning song...

[TLOT] Oh, yes- Fumbles around for a porkchop that still raw and holds it up so Hellion can snap it out of his hand and messily chew on it.

[Lie] Comes to sit by the fire-

[Hellion] Nom nom nom

[China] Leans over the little wall to nuzzle Steve

[Steve] Pats hir skull-

[MA] -Sifts through his inventory for his flute-

[MA] -Finds the purple flute and pops it into his hand-

[Lie] - Are you going to play again?

[MA] Yeah, see if any Cloudrunners, or things related to them are on the seed.. Then I can play music if you want?

[Steve] Hey, that looks neat!

[TLOT] Go ahead. I'd love to hear you play.

[Steve] Parts the vines a little to check the time. It's not quite dawn, but there's a hint of color on the horizon-

[MA] -Puts the flute to his lips and begins. He plays a short tune and waits a second, head cocked, listening.-

[Steve] Scans the sky -

[TLOT] That was nice Ma.

[Lie] Stretches- Is it about time to head out Steve?

[MA] Thanks-

-Something swooshes through the sky in the distance-

[Steve] Maybe... Hey! I saw something!

[TLOT] Gets up to look, the tiny rays of sun flashing on his gold armor as the vines are parted-

-There's another thing, and they're both flying in the general direction of them-

[MA] Really? -Gets up to look too-

[Steve] Look there! - He points and the sun catches his ring and diamond armor as well-

-It's definitely  a flying reptile of some kind. Nice. As they get close there is a general similarity to the creature MA drew apparent-

[Lie] Is getting the horses ready-

-The one in the lead swoops down, bumping the wall and landing, sticking his head right in the hole to look at them all-

[Ma] -Muffled laugh into his hand at the direct way of investigation-

-The second one crashes into the first, both of them letting out indignant screeches-

[Lie] Yelps a bit in surprise-

[TLOT] Moves instinctively to protect Steve-

[Steve] Dragons!

[TLOT] You really are magick Alex.... to think we missed something this big...!

[Steve] Nobody ever looks up! The chickens and the parrots can't fly high, and the Enderdragons don't live here.

[Lie] - So, uh, how do we get around them?

[TLOT] Directs friendly thoughts at them tentatively-

[MA] -Pockets his flute and steps forward-

-The first one kicks a leg to get the second off him before standing up straight, eyeing them all, pausing on MA before returning to TLOT- -Scree-

[TLOT] Hi.

[Steve] Peeks around him curiously at the visitors-

[Runner1] -Softer Screech and head tilt-

[MA] -Scoots forward to speak- 0ei sumo rosuijo 0ei xouht kxo succ, sehhosk? M0 ufecewaoj, ak nuj zijk u kojk. {You came because you heard the call, correct? My apologies, it was just a test.}

[Runner2] -Squawks and pokes head in to peer at MA- Ak xuj rood mud0 meedj jadso no xouht kxuk succ! 0ei doot de ujjajkudso? No mu0 we kxod, 0oj? {It has been many moons since we heard that call! You need no assistance? We may go then, yes?}

[MA] -To TLOT- I explained that it was a test. If we don't need help they would like to go.

[TLOT] Wait a sec. We don't need help but we are curious. I had no idea your kind even existed. We only learned about the raptors very recently. Have you had issues with my Testificates in the past?

[Runner1] -Tilts head thoughtfully.- No te dek mook kxo kne cow nucbohj evkod. Jku0 eik ev jawxk udt eik ev madt jadso cedw kamo. Mejk suddek housx eih xemo. {We do not meet the two leg walkers often. Stay out of sight and out of mind since long time. Most cannot reach our home.}

[MA] ... Hasn't met them often. They can't reach where they live.

[TLOT] Do you have any interest in trading with us? Or at least opening normal relations? I am the de-facto god of most of the villages and can arrange it easily.

[Runner2] -Scoff- Khuto nakx nucbohj? Uj av. Kxo0 xulo dekxadw ev adkohojk. {Trade with walkers? As if. They have nothing of interest.} -Seems highly prideful-

[MA] ... No, I'm gonna take that as a no.

[TLOT] Hmm, well okay. Just know we're around if you ever need assistance. Steve?

[Steve] Oh! Right! - He takes out a sheet of paper and draws a plan for a basic summoner with some instructions and the poem, and passes it Ma to translate-

[TLOT] We are but a few of many, with shining eyes and strange powers of our own. - He lifts a hand dramatically and slides it against the stone and dirt wall. The blocks flip under his hand to pure gold and there's a small rumble as a block on the outside of the wall changes to a water spawn and lets a thin stream of shimmering water cascade down the mountain side.

[MA] -Translates  it before handing it off to the Runners, who seem both spooked and awed by the transformation-

[Runner1] No nacc kxadb ureik ak! Vuho nocc! {We will think about it! Fare well!} -Takes off with Runner 2, paper tucked away-

[Steve] I think we scared them a bit...

[TLOT] As long as they aren't hostile, I'm content.

[MA] That went better than expected.

[TLOT] Are they usually rude or something?

[MA] Snotty. They're quite proud of being able to fly. Whatever floats their boat, really.

[Steve] Is watching them fly away - it is pretty neat. I like flying on the elytra.

[TLOT] I think I'll stay on the ground, thank you.

[Ma] Our Elytra was pretty nifty... -Nods to self a bit-

[TLOT] We saw a giant beetle once... I wonder if there are any of those left out there as well...? - shudders-

[MA] Sounds gross.

[TLOT] But that's what our elytra are. They're beetle wings. Like a giant endermite.

[MA] Ours was themed after a CloudRunner's wings. With some extra magic to assist with mild actual flight. ... Well, the most easily accessable ones, atleast.

[TLOT] I didn't think this world had any mods, now I'm starting to wonder....

[MA] Could just be left over code from things that were planned but scrapped. -shrug a bit, like that's an acceptable answer and not highly odd-

[Lie] Has been keeping the horses calm- I have no idea what the elytra look like on CP's seed

[TLOT] Makes a mental note to ask him. - Probably something brutal, like artifical bat wings.

[MA] Cool...

[Steve] It's light out anyway. We should go. -

[Lie] Leads the horses out into the sun-

[Steve] Hops on China and she jumps easily down into the grass.

[TLOT] Carefully leads Hellion down before getting on with a flump of dust-

[Lie] Mounts Beau and follows Steve-

[MA] -Gets on the black mare once she's down safely-

[TLOT] Leads them through a pass and out into a bare rocky area, there are tall peaks dotted with spruce trees jutting up from the small ravines-

[Lie] - So MA, do you think there might be anything else from your seed here?

[MA] ... More dinosaurs?

[MA] Seems likely, maybe?

-Eventually they head down into some rather dense spruce forests dotted with hunks of mossy cobble. -

[TLOT] It's somewhere in here, they told me there's a little fortress. Watch out for zombies though. It's pretty shadowy under these trees.

[Lie] Shudders a little- I don't think the tree's will be a problem for long...

[MA] I can provide light Ifn' ya want?

[TLOT] We're looking for a bare spot anyway. - he's sniffing for any fire smell-

[Beau] Snorts and prances a little-

[Lie] - Easy boy

[Steve] I see light! - Leads them to a break in the trees-

-The clearing is scorched but the grass is swiftly retaking the burnt ground. There's a shell of a structure and the remnants of bloodstains on the stones.

[MA] ... Yikes..

[Lie] - The foliage...

[TLOT] Dismounts and feels around for any code traces or lingering feelings.

[Lie] - TLOT...  This place...

[Steve] Ma? You said something about coding? Can you search for code traces?

[TLOT] Holds his arms with a sudden cold - I can feel it....

[MA] I.. Am not as skilled at it as Kraz was... -Hesitant look-

[TLOT] Slagathor is dead... And in a way that's preventing a respawn. He was horrible and won't be missed, but still... His murder was sudden and in cold blood.

[Lie] - I can feel it's echoes in what remains of the foliage...

[TLOT] I smell... something... that frightens me... Lie? I wonder if the world has made me... - his voice is barely a whisper- another NOTCH as well...?

[Steve] Hisses angrilly-

[MA] -Just waving staff a bit. The crystal at the end is glowing softly.-

[TLOT] Walks back to them, he's obviously shaking. - we should go...

[Lie] - As much as I hate it, it may be the case...

[Steve] We'll come back with others and search. We shouldn't face it without a group. Just in case.

[MA] ... -Head tilt and nod- -Stow staff-

[Lie] - Wait just a moment- She begins concentrating and begins replenishing the foliage around them

[Steve] Holds TLOT - Thank you Lie, that looks better.

[TLOT and Steve] Mount up -

[TLOT] We'll leave through the wild. I can't face the others like this... I need time to think.

[Lie] - Understood

[MA] ... Fine by me.

[Doc] Is crawling all over a gigantic black structure in the desert while Yaunfen watches. Xe's making all kinds of adjustments and adding black blocks here and there.

[Yaunfen] Is watching a flitter flit around-

[Gambet] -Stalking along looking at things, Alan on his back between his wings-

[Gambet] -Happens to come across Doc and Yaunfen and tilts his head, slinking up to look at it-

[Doc] Is in hir own dragon form because the construction is so large and making curly things on the end of a long protrusion-

[Yaunfen] - Mada look!

[Gambet] -Nudges Alan so the hatchling holds on and takes to the air, flying around it and examining it with a critical eye-

[Doc] Hmm? Oh. It's you guys. Hi.

[Alan] -Chirp-

[Gambet] -Grunt and continue flying before landing.-

[Doc] Scuttles over to the front of the thing and adds a bunch of bright chips of quartz for eyes.

[Gambet] -Tucks front paws under chin as he sits, watching Doc work-

[Alan] -Slides off Gambet's back and flops into the sand, trying to mimic their dad's pose-

[Doc] Something on your mind? - Xe starts breaking off chips of black smoked glass for claws-

[Gambet] Not yet. Just watching.

[Yaunfen] Scoots closer to Alan- Play?

[Doc] Is watching the little ones closely with one eye.-

[Alan] -Huffs at Yaunfen a bit, head tilting.-

[Doc] Sits against the construction with a block of gray cement and nervously twists it into some horns before sticking them on too.

[Gambet] -Eyes narrow and he huffs some smoke out- ....What are you doing?

[Doc] Making a rather large dragon, just for funsies.

[Gambet] -Soft huff of disgust- Pointless.

[Doc] Bite me. It's a present for a friend.

[Yaunfen] Nudges Alan a little-

[Gambet] A statue? What is the use?

[Alan] -Sqauwk and wiggle under Gambet's leg to get away-

[Gambet] -Turns head and lowers it to Yaunfen- Do not touch Alandrine. It has sensory problems. Much thanks. -Turns head back to Doc-

[Doc] - canny and guarded- She asked for it. Aww. What's wrong with your baby? Do they need help?

[Yaunfen] - They sick like Ashe?

[Doc] Or Brogon.... We have some experience with differently abled dragons.

[Gambet] Who asks for a statue? Can't they just make it?

[Alan] -Pops head out from under Gambet's leg to look around-

[Gambet] Not sure. It just wigs out at contact and weird textures... -Licks Alan's head-

[Alan] -Scree- -Retract back under leg-

[Yaunfen] - Ashe was super weak...  And he has goggles!

[Doc] Nope. My skill is special. And that's interesting. Do they speak at all? And Ashe was born effectively blind.

[Doc] Lays out a great quantity of black wool and melts it out into the flat shape of a wing.

[Gambet] It does, occasionally. Alan can understand most things spoken to it. It talks when it wants to.

[Doc] Hmm... I might be able to help. I've got a lot of things with me today. - Xe settles down for a minute and pulls a few things from hir inventory, skimming pixels off here and there. The result looks like a paint chip sampler on a squared off ring. The bits are all different textures, paper, leather, fur, feathers, a chip of metal and another of wood, and even a small hunk of stone. - Something to play with at least. - Holds it out on one claw.

[Yaunfen] - I give!- They take it and brings it over to Alan

[Gambet] -Eyes it and Yaunfen for a second before raising the leg Alan is hiding under-

[Alan] -Squeaks softly and looks at Yaunfen and the ring of materials-

[Yaunfen] Nudges it closer-

[Alan] -Leans forward and reluctantly taking it. They feel the objects on it quietly-

[Yaunfen] Looks back at Doc happily-

[Doc] There you go, all yours. And good job kiddo, very helpful.

[Doc] Is from being outside for a long time perhaps? Living in the void between seeds seems to take its toll on people.

[Alan] -Mouths a few textures-

[Gambet] Possibly.

[Doc] Lays out a second wing- are they bothered by sounds as well? It's pretty quiet out there.

[Gambet] -Eyes the wings with disdain- .. No, I talked far more than enough for it.

[Doc] Well that's good at least. We seem to have decently long periods of quiet punctuated by the occasional explosion. Or just Cp yelling his head off.

[Yaunfen] - Big fire!  Big fire!

[Gambet] CP?

[Doc] He's a creepypasta Herobrine. One of the most powerful brines here. He can put people to sleep with a word and kill them in their dreams. He's also a lethal fighter- Xe takes out one of Lie's cold flowers and starts shaking the little flakes of snow onto the black wings to make stars.

[Gambet] Ah. Sounds like a threat. Why keep such a dangerous entity here? What if it goes... Feral.

[Doc] Love. He's a decent friend most of the time. And his wife keeps him nicely in check. - Xe shakes the flower at the chest of the statue as well and then does the same for the tail-

[Gambet] Love is such a frail thing to believe in. -Scoffs a bit-

[Doc] Then you know nothing about Herobrines. Our mates are our lives. A blow in anger from the mate of a brine can carry ten times the normal damage and may not heal at all. And losing our loves can actually kill us.

[Yaunfen] - No!  Mada stay alive!

[Gambet] ... Pathetic. Such a flaw is unacceptable. To leave your wellbeing to someone else like that? A single spat would kill you where I'm from. -Snuff and turn head to check on Alan-

[Doc] Gives Yaunfen a soft smile. - I don't think your mom would ever hurt me intentionally. - Turns to the other dragon- If you think a loved one is not worth trusting, then I guess it's better that you are alone. - Xe grabs the wings with a bit of a huff.

[Gambet] I saved Mine's life, and was Banished for it. -Sneer and get up-  It is a waste of time.

[Alan] -Looks up at Gambet as they're scooped up- Rrrrr!

[Gambet] -Tucks Alan between his wings with a huff-

[Doc] That's unfortunate, but not how everyone is. - Xe types into the chat with one claw- Hey Gem, meet me by the shrine, I have a present for you-

[Gem] -flies over quickly  she is soon flying over head before she lands softly in the sand-

[Gambet] -Stares at Gem a bit-

[Doc] All done! Any suggestions?

[gem] no it looks amazing thank you doc

[Doc] Beams- Is your inventory mostly empty? It ended up kinda big...

[gem] yes actually I just emptied it earlier today because it was so full

[Yaunfen] - This Gambet!  He has Alan!

[Doc] Thumbs a claw at Gem, Gambet, Alan? This is Gem.

[Alan] -Trill-

[gem] it's nice to meet you two

[Doc] You're gonna bumble around at first, that's normal, just take the long way home so you can practice walking. PLEASE, walk first. And if you're going to try and fly, get someone who actually has wings to tutor you so you don't break your neck! One big pair is way different then one big and one small pair.

[Gambet] -Watching them talk-

[Yaunfen] - Fly!  Fly!

[Doc] wistful look. - I'll take you for a ride when we're done.

[gem] I figured it would be a major adjustment

[Doc] It's weird walking on all fours anyway. I did a lot of stumbling around. - hops on top of the staue and starts knocking the sand out from under it-

[gem] so expect to fall on my face a bunch of time got it

[Doc] Yep. Especially since you're going to have this rack of horns, it's impressive, but it's going to throw off your balance a bit. - Is almost done removing the layer of sand.

[Yaunfen] Decides to roll in the sand-

[gem] so I put it in my inventory then what?

[Doc] Gets down again and shoves the structure from the side so it falls over with a huge flop like a giant stuffed animal. - You just stick the whole thing in your chestplate slot. When you want to change back, just take it off. It won't go back in your inventory though, it'll just be an icon to the side of your sprite picture in your inventory menu. You can just tap to equipt it then.

[Gem] -put the stuffed dragon it in her inventory before equipping it and flopping because she isn't use to standing on all fours-

[Doc] Small chuckle. - Its kinda like suddenly gaining a chunk isn't it?

[Gambet]  -Real slow eye narrow-

[Yaunfen] Squeaks and moves out of the way- Fuck!

[gem] one hundred percent doc it does feel like I gained a chunk

[Doc] Giggles at Yaunfen and loafs happily. - Try walking a bit and keep your wings close for now.

[Gambet] ...Disgusting. -Turns and stalks off-

[Doc] At Gambet - What's your problem? Does it just piss you off to see people happy?

[gem] -keeps her wings close and gets up to stand and walk a little having trouble walking on four legs-

[Gambet] You wear a skin that does not belong to you.

[Doc] Of course it belongs to her, I just made it for her. It is unique.

[Yaunfen] Is running around sniffing Gem-

[Gambet] She is not a dragon. It is not hers.

[Doc] But she wanted to be. There's nothing wrong with me obliging her.

[Yaunfen] - I have human form!

[gem] -is trying to walk but falls on her side-

[Doc] Gets up and goes alongside her to push her back up- Just go easy. Thankfully sand is soft to fall on.

[Gem] thanks doc -keeps trying to walk-

[Doc] You should have seen how many times Deerheart thumped her bigger antlers on stuff...

[gem] I bet a million

[Doc] Smiles fondly - She's a bit clumsy anyway. Thank goodness shes durable. - Try not to drag your tail, it'll make you more likely to trip-

[Gem] -picks up her tail and is trying to keep her balance-

[Doc] Your claws turned out all shiny. I used snow for the stars too.

[gem] -is sticking her tongue out in concentration-

[Gambet] -Stares at them a bit, looking unnerved-

[Doc] Shoots him a look- what?

[Yaunfen] - Run run!

[Gambet] It's so... wrong, that you do this.

[Doc] I think we should walk some more first sweetie. And that's a bit judgemental. I'm a Herobrine. We're a creative force. The world gets too static without us. You're not some kind of weirdo purist are you?

[Gambet] It is not yours to be. You are not a dragon. -Head tilt- Just like I am not you.

[Doc] Nope. I don't have to be. I'm not even human. I'm myself.

[Gem] -flops forward before getting back up and trying again-

[Doc] Helps Gem- Take it slow...

[Gem] this will take some time to get use to -is trying to walk slowly-

[Doc] Kindly-  It's okay. I've no shortage of potions and poultices for bruises.

[Gambet] -soft huff-

[Doc] You might think of it differently if you needed some kind of change. I can fix just about anything.

[Yaunfen] - Mada makes things better!

[Doc] Beams proudly- From the mouths of children comes truth. Most of the beings who dwell here have come to me at one point or another for healing, and I'm glad to provide it. - Flips hir tail fluff a little

-A shadow passes overhead-

[gem] you still helped me when I couldn't be out in the sun and when you gave me my wings back which I can't thank you enough

[Gambet] ... I see.

[Doc] Flips hir mane a little. - I love helping people. It makes them happy and I get to feel useful too. It makes me sad when Herobrine's live to wreck things. It's just wasted potential.

[Yaunfen] - Mada!  Up!  Up!

[Doc] Looks up and makes an eyewatering contortion to shade hir eyes with a paw- Endrea?

[Endrea] Comes closer, noticing the new dragon and landing on the sand- And what is going on now?

[Doc] I spitefuly offered Gem a dragon form in front of Dn to infuriate him and she took me up on it. It took me a while to get to it. I've been so busy.

[gem] hi endrea -flops-

[Endrea] - I see, are you doing alright Gem?

[gem] -on the ground- i'm good just give me a sec this is hard to walk so far but to be fair I am not use to it yet

[Endrea] - Would you like some help?

[Doc] I was hoping you'd say that. - Xe wiggles hir spirals- I'm not a good canidate to teach anyone to fly-

[Gem] any help would be good thank you

[Endrea] - Gladly- She steps over and helps Gem up- Lean on me until you start to get walking down

[gem] -is leaning on endrea trying to get walking down-

[Endrea] Leads Gem a little ways away- Don't push yourself to hard at first, return to your other form if you need to-

[Doc] You should practice flipping back and forth anyway-

[Gem] I am going to change back -unequips the dragon form and it disappears and she is now sitting on the sand- did it just get hotter

[Endrea] - No?

[gem] then hmm that must mean I handle heat better as a dragon nice

[Doc] Interesting! Could be a good coping mechanisim for travelling.

[gem] and if it ever become to hot I can change and not die of heat

[Doc] Sounds like a bonus to me. It'll adjust to you the more you wear it too. Stay away from fire for a few days, just in case.

[Gem] got it so stay away from the fire on your roof

[Doc] Yes. You shouldn't be trying to land on my house anytime soon anyway. I'd either practice in the desert or the savanna where there's more space.

[Gem] there is plenty of space outside my house to practice and I am sure eddy and Edward will be surprised to see me turn into a dragon

[Endrea] - Why don't we practice a bit more first

[Gem] that sounds good -turns back to a dragon-

[Endrea] Is there for her to lean on-

[Gem] -leans on endrea her legs are shaky but she is getting the hang of it a little bit-

[gem] I should probably help back home like this can you help endrea?

[Endrea] - Absolutely

[Gem] -starts walking home-

[Endrea] Walks with her-

[Doc] You ready for your ride Yaunfen?

[Yaunfen] - Ride!  Ride!

[Doc] Gets down low so Yaunfen can wrap around hir neck-

[Yaunfen] Climbs up-

[Lie] Is reading in her house as evening comes along when there's a frantic knocking on the door.  Frowning she looks up and heads for the door.  Opening it she finds a worried looking Alexis- Hey, is everything okay?

[Alexis] - Do you know where Stevie is>

[Lie] - No...  Why?

[Alexis] - Do you know where CP is?

[Lie] - Again no, Alexis what's wrong?  Tell me, please

[Alexis] - Stevies been missing for over a day now, and the server had been way to quiet for CP to have been around as well

[Lie] - What are you suggesting?  That CP dragged Stevie off somewhere?

[Alexis] - Maybe?  I don't know...

[Lie] - Let's check with Notch first- She steps outside and down the steps to knock on Notch's door

[Notch] Comes to the door barefoot with a small book- Hey guys? What's going on?

[Alexis] - Do you know where Stevie is?

[Notch] No? I haven't seen him since the other day.

[Lie] - Alexis hasn't seen him for at least a day, and apparently the server's been unusually quiet...

[Notch] That is unnerving. It's always trouble when kids are super quiet. But then... I haven't seen any death messages in the chat.

[Lie] - I was out most of the day so I wouldn't know...

[Alexis] - I didn't see any either...

[Notch] Hmm-

-There's a bit of a whoosh overhead as Doc goes shooting by in their normal janky way-

[Lie] Gives a mental burst to Doc- Well there's one easy way to solve this...

[Alexis] Is very worried for Stevie-

[Doc] Looks down suddenly and makes as gentle a turn as xe can manage before trotting down to the ground. - Something wrong Lie?

[Lie] - Yeah, nobody knows where Stevie and CP are

[Doc] Oh dear.... - Hang on, let me see if I can find them.

[Yaunfen] Hi friends! We went flying!

[Notch] Aww.

[Doc] They're in a dark oak biome, it's pretty far away...

[Alexis] - Can you get us there?

[Doc] Of course- Gets down a little so they can hop on.

[Notch] Do you guys need me?

[Yaunfen] More flying! And adventure!

[Lie] - Maybe...  I don't know what we may find.

[Notch] Okay... I'll get my shoes.

[Lie] Helps Alexis climb on before getting on herself-

[Flux] - You're heading out this late?

[Doc] Wait, where's Cn? Is he with Firebird again?

[Lie] - Yeah, he really likes hanging out with him

[Notch] I may need to use my dad voice Flux...

[Doc] Pfft.

[Flux] - Alright, be safe

[Doc] Makes a little hot and trots up high before taking off again. Xe goes a bit faster and Yaunfen snuggles into hir mane-

[Yaunfen] Mada go fast!

[Doc] Picks up a bit of speed with a grin-

[Lie] watches the ground below them-

[Alexis] Has never flown on Doc before-

[Doc] Hot dogs a little for Yaunfen-

[Yaunfen] Whhheeeeee!

[Doc] Comes up on the clearing and slows down in a spiral to land- They're close by....

[Yaunfen] Hops off and bounces around a little, a bit hyper from excitement

[CP] He and Stevie are taking a breather under the tree's, both are covered in scrapes and blood-

[Yaunfen] Loudly - BIG FIRE!

[Doc] Startled - Fire? Where?!

[CP] Flickers briefly in annoyance-

[Doc] Oh.... that Big Fire... You two look a little rough.

[Yaunfen] Scampers up and bounds around the brothers a bit- You smell funny.

[Stevie] - What are you doing here?

[Alexis] - What are we doing here!?  Stevie!  You've been gone for well over a day without any notice!

[Doc] Your loving wives were concerned because you both vanished. did you decide to just get drunk and scrap for some reason?

[Stevie] - Er...  No...

[CP] Is swinging his sword around a bit-

[Yaunfen] Mada? Can I have candy?

[Doc] Sure. - Xe takes out a spirally redstone whip and gives it to them-

[Yaunfen] immediatly unravels it and slurps it up like spagetti while swinging it around

[Doc] Oh... did we inturrupt some bonding? Sorry guys...

[Stevie] - I...  I wanted to get more training in...  To be ready when we face our false father...

[Notch] Swings down - Stevie... I'm really proud of both of you today.

[Stevie] - Er...  Um...  Why?

[Notch] Because I'm glad you're with us. And the fact that you two were training means someone bent and asked for help. either way, it's a step in the right direction.

[Doc] Also, for Cp if he sparred with you and didn't kill you - tiniest note of bitterness.

[CP] Is contemplating surprise attack on Stevie-

[Stevie] - Uh, well, thanks?

[Notch] Walks over closer to them. - So how did the sparring go?

[Stevie] - Lots of nasty potions

[Doc] Aww. Stevie, you can always ask me if you need healing items. Alexsezia makes good potions too.

[Stevie] Nervous and tired laugh-

[CP] Suddenly strikes at Stevie-

[Lie] - CP!

[Notch] Very loud - STOP THAT-

[CP] Jumps back at the noise-

[Notch] Don't ruin something good Cp...

[Doc] Hair is poofy- You're getting rather good at that

[Yaunfen] So loud...

[CP] - What?  He should be prepared for anything

[Notch] Agreed, but he shouldn't be prepared for his brother to strike him when it looks like you've both agreed to rest.

[Stevie] - Weeeeellllll...

[CP] Grins-

[Notch] Please? Just for now. I bet you're both hungry and tired. You look wrecked.

[CP] - We'll be fine

[Stevie] - We have been going non-stop...

[Doc] Do you want some potions and food and we'll just leave you to it? Or should I carry you all home?

[Alexis] - Home, pushing yourself too hard isn't good, especially if it's just the two of you out here alone

[Lie] - Agreed

[CP] - Can I sleep in the bed?

[Lie] - No, in fact if you want access to the bed again, you're gonna have to do something

[CP] - Like what?

[Lie] - Apologizing to the programmers that you terrified would be a good start

[CP] - What?

[Notch] Okay.. I'm not sure I want that.... You'll likely just scare them more. They've already promised to keep it secret.

[Lie] - I'll be going with him

[Yaunfen] hops on Doc and snuggles down between hir shoulders- More ride?

[Doc] Unbelievably happy expression- Yes.

[Notch] Are you sure Lie...?

[Lie] - Yes, but I'll give you time to let them know it's coming so he doesn't scare them more and they can make sure they are the only ones there

[Notch] Okay... - Goes to help Stevie up since he's closer-

[Stevie] Accepts his father's help-

[Yaunfen] Tickles Doc's neck with hir whiskers-

[Doc] Ngggghhhh - Is resisting the urge to scratch with a back paw-

[Notch] Balances him and then reaches for Cp-

[CP] Sneers a little-

[Notch] Stays with his hand out and a small smile-

[CP] Walks right past them-

[Notch] Sigh....

[Doc] Uses hir tail to scootch Cp close to hir side- Get on dammit.

[CP] - I'll fly on my own

[Lie] Helps Alexis on again and climbs on herself-

[Notch] Gets up and helps Stevie up as well-

[Doc] Grabs his belt in hir jaws with a roll of hir eyes and takes off-

[CP] - FUCKER!

[Yaunfen] Big fire rides with us! Yes. - Xe turns into the wind and lets hir whiskers stream out soft behind them.

Roleplay Server Log #261

“Hostile Takeover, Mojang Office Hi-jinks, Flight of the Firebird”

-Not that far away-

[Notch] Escorts Flux into the cage. - Do you really think this will work?

[Flux] - I honestly have no idea...

[Notch] I hope it does, I want you to be protected too. -

[Flux] - I know, and your thoughts are so very much appreciated- She begins approaching the two consoles in the center of the elaborate prison

[Notch] Doubly so because I don't know where your seed is stored...

[Flux] - Honestly I'm surprised it still exists, it's been there for so long- She kneels in front of the command block which holds the seed for the NOTCH AI's

[Notch] If there's anything I can do...?

[Flux] - Just stay, please

[Notch] Of course. - Waits with baited breath, hoping she succeeds.

[Flux] Concentrates and her magic begins gathering around the command block.  As she focus', she's reaching for the intricate base code of the server and prodding at it.  She grunts a little as she feels resistance, her fingers start to curl a little as she tenses.  The ground around Flux is beginning to grow tainted and shade to purple.  Her body begins to curl as she tries to take control of the other server, she tries using a bit more force and the seed reacts violently, throwing Flux back and away and causing her to lose control of her magic.  Her taint spreads quickly, carrying all the way into the village above as it's master lays on the ground, curling up and trembling from both pain and shock.  Flux is fluctuating between being solid and mist like-

[Notch] Leaps to her aid- FLUX!

[Flux] Her breathing is ragged as she glances at Notch- Notch...- She tries to hold in a noise of pain as it travels through her body causing her to curl up tighter.  She's never truly felt pain before

[Notch] I'll... I'll get you to some help! - Frantically he scoops her up in his arms. And moves as fast as he can up the tunnels and out into the light. He's calling for TLOT mentally because his hands are too full to type- Outside everything is shaded a vibrant purple

[TLOT] Suddenly perks up and dashes out of the room without a second thought.

[Steve] Nearly knocks Doc over to race after him.

[Notch] Is partway across Lie's yard when he notices a lot of eyes on him.

-Most of the village is watching. Some in awe and others in fear of the NOTCH carrying the apparently injured woman they already know. A few peel off to run in the direction of the castle. Seeking their Godly-king who meets them halfway-

[Flux] Clutches at Notch's shirt tightly, trying to keep herself in contact with him as much as she can- Please...  Stay...- Her voice is very quiet and she is close to passing out

[Notch] I'm not going anywhere, just hang on.

[TLOT] Dashes up flanked by several Testificates- What happened?!

-Flux's taint is beginning to recede and her breathing is starting to even out a little, but she's still trembling-

[Appel] You better not have hurt her, you.. you NOTCH!

[Steve] Easy there.

[Notch] She tried to take over the subseed and it injured her...

[TLOT] Is the color the blowback?

[Notch] Yes, I believe so.

[Flux] Whines a little, but her form is almost completely solid now, her most solid parts are where Notch is touching her-

[TLOT] Smooths her hair a bit- How can I help Flux?

[Flux] - I...  I don't understand...  What I am feeling...

[TLOT] Feels her mind- It's pain.

[Flux] - Pain...  It is...  Unfamiliar- She whines a little as she feels another burst of pain

[TLOT] Perhaps you should sleep - His words are supernaturally convincing...

[Pi] Suddenly falls over and starts snoring.

[Appel] Panics a bit and shakes his husband, trying to wake him.

[Flux] Her eyes begin to close as well, but her grip on Notch's shirt does not diminish-

[Jaam] He doesn't look so tough...

[Steve] Don't be rude!

[Flux] Falls asleep, curled up in Notch's arms-

[Choclet] How come he has hair?

[Notch] My head was cold.

[Coffi] Nods sagely- makes sense.

[Cheez] Pokes Notch-

[Notch] Squeaks-

[TLOT] Be nice. He was formerly a human like your friend Lie.

[Cheez] Humph.

[CP] Teleports closer- Now what the fuck is going on!?

[Notch] Very unmanly little scream-

[Testificates] Some suprised noises and a smattering of nervous laughter.

[CP] Growls a little- Can all of them go home?  I'm trying to convince CN that there's an ultra rare bird that only comes out at night so I can bang my wife

[TLOT] What am I, a sheepdog? They live here too.

[Steve] That's not safe Cp! Cn is to small to be out alone at night!

[CP] - So?

[Steve] Bolts off to tattle on Cp to Lie-

[Notch] Flux got hurt Cp. Some kind of feedback from trying to take over the dragon server on the subseed.

[CP] - Why was she trying to do that?

[Flux] Whimpers a little in her sleep-

[Notch] Because it would be safer then being in charge of your old seed that's just floating out there somewhere.

[CP] - Shouldn't be that hard to figure out where exactly it is, there's only so many places that an original alpha seed could be

[Notch] Goes white - That's bad...

[TLOT] Is already getting the shape from his mind. - We need a copy of that! Now!

[CP] - What is it?

[Notch] It's has to be on the big mainframe at my former company! They don't keep that stuff forever! Especially with the new management!

[CP] - So then Flux...

[TLOT] She might get deleted. We need your seed number Cp.

[CP] - Give me a sec to think, I've been on hundreds...

[Coocont] Flux is in danger?

[Milk] Why would anyone delete a seed? People would die!

[Escar] Think Cp!

[Creme] Nooo!

[Eggg] At Markus- You're a NOTCH! Do something!

[CP] Hesitantly rattles off a couple of different seed numbers before finally saying one with a bit more confidence-

[Notch] Cp! You can do this faster then anyone! Go find Jeb! He can get at the main server from home! Make him give you the file!

[CP] Face splits into a dark grin- Gladly- He flicks his hand and creates an opening before going through

[Jeb] Is dozing at his desk, it's relatively late and there's only a few programmers in the adjoining offices. He can smell the faint scent of someone making coffee in a different room, and on the screen in front of him a half-built 3D model is tumbling around.

-The screen begins glitching as CP slowly begins pulling himself out of the screen.  He pauses to scan his surroundings before getting to far simply because it's an unfamiliar place-

-The surroundings are a bank of computers in a nicely appointed office. There are little toys on the desks and other personal touches and a few nice shots of happy employees and awards framed on the walls. There's a faint whistling as a scruffy guy in jeans comes in with a cup of coffee and stops cold-

[CP] Growls at him-

[Snorik]  Drops his cup with a frightened squeak and it thumps on the carpet - He- hero- He crumples to the floor in a dead faint-

[CP] Finishes pulling himself out of the screen and walks around the fainted employee, seeking out his prey as he silently stalks the halls-

[Dofta] Makes some soft papery sounds as she walks down the hall with a small box of files-

[CP] Waits around a corner for them to get closer before reaching out and grabs them by the throat- Where's Jeb?

[Dofta] String of panicked Swedish words and at least two English cuss words-

[CP] Squeezes just a tiny bit- Well?

[Yster] Is totally silent in her running shoes and clocks Cp on the back of the head with a full clipboard of papers-

[CP] Scowls and summons his sword to his hand before turning to glare at the other woman with brightly glowing eyes-

[Yster] Gives Cp the full force of a can of pepper spray in the face-

[CP] Shakes his head and blinks a few times as he growls and releases Dofta to summon a bit of lava to clear his eyes-

[Yster] Grabs Dofta in a panic and the two of them run around a corner towards the front of the building-

[CP] Would prefer to chase them down but continues on searching for Jeb, simply kicking open the next door he comes across-

-On the other side of the door is a hallway that opens out into a large confrence room. A rather heavy man is playing with a VR helmet and the screen behind him for demonstration purposes shows a survival house being built.

[CP] Growls and uses his abilities to enter the VR system, popping up in front of the man- Where.  Is.  Jeb.

[Tokig] Hey! This is a private server! And that griefing stuff is getting old Svit. Go play on your own computer.

[CP] Exits and then yanks the VR headset off- I'm not Svit

[Tokig] Strangled noise -

[CP] - Now, where.  Is.  Jeb.

[Tokig] Shaking finger pointing- past the atrium...

[CP] - Sleep

[Tokig] Slow crumple to the floor knocking a bag of cheetos off the table as well-

[CP] Marches past and out into the hall again, heading for the atrium-

[Fangebo] Tapping out something on a laptop near a small fountain-

[CP] Storms right past her, honing in on Jeb-

[Fangbo] Eyes flick up and then back down just as Cp passes her - Cute outfit Svit. Gonna scare Jeb again?

[CP] - Sure, whatever

[Fangbo] Get it on tape this time okay? He's been jittery all day with all this file allocation and space-saving bullshit-

[CP] Says nothing more as he continues on, letting his senses out for the human he seeks.  He grins when he finally spots the name of his quarry on a door and kicks the door open harshly-

[Jeb] Is very startled and darts under his desk in terror-

[CP] - Hello again~  I've come for something, on Notch's behest

[Jeb] Is balled up under the desk - Anything! Just don't kick me in the nuts again!

[CP] - A server

[Jeb] You want...a server? I mean, I guess I can set you up! They're pretty cheap if you don't want to install a bunch of mods and stuff....

[CP] - One of the original alpha servers, it...  Needs to be kept safe

[Jeb] Whaaa, why would you want one of those? They were so... simple.

[CP] - I don't, but Notch does

[Jeb] Is regarding Cp cautiously - I can do that.... - He's wondering if it's safe to come out

[CP] Lists of the server's number- Now find it

[Jeb] Swallows hard- It's not in here, we have to go across the hall. Oh my gods... did anyone see you come in here?

[CP] Grins- A few

[Jeb] Looks horrified- Please tell me you didn't kill any of my team....

[CP] - My wife is already pissed at me, so no

[Jeb] Thank goodness... Come on, I'll get it for you, but then you have to leave. - He uncurls from the small space and stands up cautiously

[CP] - I dunno, it's fun terrorizing your employees

[Jeb] Please?

[CP] - Depends on how quickly you can get me that server

[Jeb] Yanks out a desk drawer and throws various office supplies on the floor before finding a thumb drive and cluching it in one sweaty fist- Follow me -

[CP] Walks unnervingly close to Jeb-

[Jeb] Darts past Fangbo who is still sitting there typing -

[Fangbo] Giggles as Cp passes, stalking menacingly behind the running figure - Good one Svit.

[Jeb] Bangs open a door to a room full of electronics and throws a chair at the nearest terminal before shoving in the thumbdrive and typing desperately.

[CP] Stands very closely behind Jeb-

[Jeb] Is sweating a lot. He keeps putting his password in wrong because Cp is terrorizing him.

[CP] - You'd better get it right this next time

[Jeb] I'm trying! I'm trying! - He makes it to the search screen and shakily types the numbers into it-

[CP] Glances back out towards the artrium-

[Fangbo] Has opened a small bag of chips and is munching quietly-

[Jeb] Finds the file and moves it to the drive-

[CP] - Are you fucking done yet?

-The little icon on the screen it showing the flying paper animation-

[Jeb] I'm going as fast as I can!

[CP] Scowls and gives the computer a boost-

-The computer gives a soft ping as the file finishes downloading-

[CP] - About time

[Jeb] Pulls out the small drive and thrusts it at him-Now please! Take it and go!

[CP] - Fine, but if this is wrong then I'm pretty sure Notch will beat you up himself- He heads back out into the artrium, grabs Fangbo's laptop from them before putting it down and using it to get back into the digital realm

[Fangbo] Gasps as the computer is taken from her and then watches in terrified awe as Cp uses it as a gateway-

[CP] Returns to the server in a much better mood-

[Notch] Did you get it?!

[CP] - Yeah yeah, it's right here- Holds up the thumb drive

[TLOT] Thats... that's your seed?

[CP] - Yup, it's tiny

[Toasts] How can a whole world be so small?

[Coffi] It's not possible, is it?

[CP] - It's old

[Godot] It's a precious gift...

[Escar] A miracle.

[Jaam] And maybe an antique?

[CP] Looking at TLOT- Why are they still here?

[TLOT] I refer you again to my earlier comment about them living here.

[Steve] Snickers-

[CP] Tosses the thumb drive at Notch-

-The drive lands on Flux's stomach.

[Notch] Easy with that!

[Pi] Don't throw it!

[CP] - I'm going back to my wife

[Flux] Twitches a little-

[Notch] Flux... we have your seed. You're safe now.

[Flux] Her eyes open a little- Notch?

[Notch] Doesn't have a free hand to hand it to her- It's right there - inclines his head-

[Flux] Looks down and releases her grip on his shirt to pick it up, there's a slight thrum of energy as she connects with her seed-

[TLOT] Now no one can take it away from you.

[Flux] - Thank you- She rests her head against Notch

[Lie] It's super early in the morning but she's out for a walk with her vulpix's.  The sun has barely risen and she's wandering towards Hera's bay-

[Sweet Alex] Is sitting on her porch kicking her feet and drinking from a small mug. - Good morning Lie!

[Lie] - Morning!  Looks like you're comfy

[Sweet Alex] Yep. Just relaxing until it's light enough to work in the garden.

[Lie] - Need any help with the garden?

[Avulpix] Runs over and sniffs at Sweet Alex-

[Sweet Alex] Maybe? Doc gave me some weird stuff called korm, I think? It's really pretty. The seeds are all different colors.

[Lie] - Oh!  Corn!  Yeah, I helped them pick out the seeds when we were last out in the real world

[Sweet Alex] Pulls out the handful of little kernals - these are from, out there?

[Lie] - Yeah, it's a very common food out there

[Sweet Alex] If you want to give them a head start... anywhere is good. Please?

[Lie] - Sure, is there anyplace you don't want them?

[Sweet Alex] Smiles - inside the house?

[Mix] -Swoosh past goes the Mix-

[Mix] -Screeeech. turn back around and bounce up to them- Hey!

[Sweet Alex] Hey Mix! You're up early. Have you taken to jogging as well?

[Lie] - Morning Mix

[Rvulpix] Hides behind Lie's legs-

[Lie] Takes the corn- I think I'll plant these on the bay side of the house

[Sweet Alex] That would be nice. Thank you! So what else is new guys?

[Mix] I've just got so much-- What's that? *scoot in to look at the corn

[Sweet Alex] Its a vegetable - hushed voice- It's from the real world.

[Mix] Oh! That's cool. *head tilt

[Mix] What kind of veggie?

[Sweet Alex] I'm not sure, but I heard it explodes if you get it super hot!

[Lie] - This is just one variant of it.  I know both of you have had popcorn, this is what it's made from- She begins planting

[Mix] Oh! That's cool! Kind of like the tumbleweeds back home... Or the bomb spores.... *distant look before slight laugh and shake head

[Sweet Alex] What's a tumbleweed? Do they push you over? Like slime blocks?

[Lie] - No, it's a plant that uproots itself to find a better place to be and rolls along with the wind

[Mix] Kind of like... Really dry wheat balls?

[Sweet Alex] That sounds neat! If it's a really dry plant that moves, maybe the baby dragons could chase and play and eat them?

[Lie] Pauses- Not a bad idea

[Mix] Hmm..., I don't know If I have anymore of mine.... * shift through inventory a bit

[Lie] - That's okay Mix, I can always make some

[Mix] Alright! I have too much stuff in my inventory anyway. ... Mmm.. Maybe my bag... I just sort of tossed things in there....

[Sweet Alex] Watches intently to see what Mix tosses out-

[Sweet Alex] Oh! Mix, how are the Lightfeet faring?

[Mix] -Finally pops out a crumbly orb of, crumbly plant matter it looks like. It's definitely not a normal tumbleweed, that's for sure- Uh... Hm. I think it's this? But the name is different...

[Mix] -Looks up- Oh! They're fine! I got them rounded up, but I'm uh... Not the best at building really so making them a home is really slow going...

[Lie] Finishes  planting the seeds- There we go, that should do it

[AVulpix] Starts rolling around in the dirt, getting all dirty-

[Sweet Alex] Looks over at the little green shoots- good luck to them! Good little plants! Mix? Do you want help with the building?

[Crim] - hears voices and comes looking for them.

[Sweet Alex] Squints- I see red. Is that Gk over there?

[Lie] - Ummm, I don't think so?

[Mix] -tosses the weedy ball in hands a bit before turning to look at the approaching red mass. completely forgetting Sweet Alex had asked anything-

[Sweet Alex] Takes the mass of weeds - This is neat!

[Crim] - comes scuttling over on all 6 legs. He's bigger than before.

[Sweet Alex] It's a cute little dragon! I haven't met this one. Hello!

-It's item name is Fire Weed. Perhaps it lights on fire? Who knows-

[Mix] These were all over the Hollow, you'd rack them up in your inventory slowly but surely....

[Lie] - Oh Crim!  You've gotten bigger!

[Sweet Alex] Their name is Crim? Awwww

[Crim] - stands up and gives a toothy smile. - Yes! Me big now!

[Mix] Cool! Nice colors..

[Sweet Alex] Yes you are! And well spoken.

[Crim] - waves at Sweet Alex - Hi hi, I'm Crim.

[RVulpix] Just hides behind Lie some more-

[AVulpix] Trots by nearly black with dirt-

[Lie] Sighs as she looks at her pokemon- Looks like somebody needs a bath...

[Sweet Alex] I'm Sweet Alex. Nice to meet you!

[Crim] - tips head in confusion - What bath?

[Lie] - It's how most animals get clean.  Usually with water

[Mix] Is where you go in water and scrub scrub scrub.

[Crim] Water? Not with tounge?

[Sweet Alex] Does water hurt you Crim? The Ender dragons can't even touch it.

[Lie] - It depends, most animals will use their tongue, but us humans use water

[Sweet Alex] And most of the Herobrines like a lava bath.

[Crim] - thinks - Lava? Warm soft rock?

[Crim] Water.... Blue sting stuff?

[Lie] - Hot soft rock

[Sweet Alex] It's red and orange and goopy? So water hurts you? Okay.

[Crim] - nods - Lava warm & soft, good to sleep in. Also tastie. - licks lips.

[Lie] - ...  Okay then

[Sweet Alex] Holds up the tumbleweed- Lie? Could you mix this with a nether plant? Make it red and soft like netherwort for our friend?

[Lie] - I can try- She takes the plant and begins focusing

[Crim] - stands on back legs to watch

[Lie] The plant  shifts to red and gets a bit softer- Is this okay?- She puts it down

[Mix] -bouncing on heels a bit-

-The ruddy block looks like a star from the sides and top and the wind catches it slightly. Making it scoot enticingly along.

[Sweet Alex] Cool! Better make more then one though. In case it gets away! - chuckles

[Crim] - drops down into a crouch, watching the plant move.

-worttumbler- scoot scoot scoot

[Mix] -scratches at shoulder a bit-

[Lie] Focus' on making another one-

[Sweet Alex] Are you okay Mix?

[Crim] - does butt wiggle and creeps toward it

-worttumbler- scoots up against a bit of protruding dirt and goes slightly to the side as the sea breeze catches it-

[Mix] Hm? -Pause in scratch- I think? My back is kinda itchy. But my stone probably isn't done growing.

[Sweet Alex] You're growing a stone? Is that normal?

[Crim] - suddenly pounces on the thing, bitting it. He growls and exhales, only to have the thing burst into flames.

[Mix] -Turns and gestures at the Glowing emerald in between her shoulderblades- Mhmm!

[Lie] - I'm just glad you're doing better Mix

[Sweet Alex] Is looking at the crystal with concern and then jumps at the sudden flames- Crim!

[Crim] - starts biting and chewing it up, as fast as he can.

[Sweet Alex] Oh! Is it tasty?

[Mix] So am I. I was.. really super tired. *watches Crim before producing another weedy mass and setting it down curiously. scoot it toward Crim with foot

[Crim] - nods as he finishes it. He sees the new one and starts stalking it.

[Sweet Alex] Is it okay for him to have that one Mix? It looks spiky.

[Lie] Has made a couple more wortweeds-

[Crim] - stands up, does a hopping prance then leaps on it. This time he doesn't bite it, just claw at it.

[Crim] - rolls over as the wortweed crumbles, landing near Sweet Alex on his back.

[Sweet Alex] Goes for the belly rub with a giggle-

-There's a soft snuffling noise from the back of the house-

[AVulpix] Hears the noise and runs around to the back side- Vul?

[Crim] - snorts and wiggles around for a few, before rolling over. He's rumbling softly.

[Mix] -Seems to tune back in on everything and hums- Huh?

[Sweet Alex] You're such a nice dragon-

[Crim] - still rumbling - Crim good.

-A rather large and oddly shaped shadow leans around the side of the house with a quick snuffling noise and then a loud growl.-

[Gk] growls-  I smell weird male dragon...

[Lie] - So, any plans for today Mix?

[AVulpix] - Vul!  Vul!

[Mix] Mostly been going around doing everything! So much to do! So much to see...  Also have to hunt NK down...

[Sweet Alex] Flicks his tiny nose as he gets too close to her and Crim to sniff the smaller dragon- Gk!

[Gk] Grrrrrrr

[Crim] - scrambles to his feet, backing up.

[Lie] - GK, he's still young...

[Sweet Alex] Stands and puts her hands on her hips- Gk! You behave! He's just a baby and he hasn't even got any wings!

[Gk] Coils up a little but he's still frowning. - E's a nether dragon...

[Lie] - All the more reason for you to be nice to him, he needs a mentor

[Sweet Alex] And you hate the Nether!

[Gk] Grumbles-

[Crim] - growls softly as smoke puffs out his nose. - Crim good!

[Gk] Snorts and spits a skinny stream of pure lava in a long arc into the water nearby, making a tiny patch pop and boil-

[Sweet Alex] Stop that. You know he's no threat to you.

[Mix] Baby. -Just turns a bit and looks off into the distance, starting to get antsy again-

[Crim] - turns to watch, then hunkers down. More smoke is rolling out his nose.

[Gk] Ruffles his tentacle wings like an aggravated chicken.

[Sweet Alex] You be nice Gk.... or else!

[Lie] - Do I need to get Endrea?

[Gk] Or else what?

[Sweet Alex] I... I won't make you anymore cookies!

[Gk] Sharp hiss and hunkers down- I don't like this....

[Crim] - lunges forward and spits a little ball of fire at GK.

[Gk] His head shoots out like a viper and he eats the incoming ball, there's a moment of pregnant silence and then he lets out a gigantic burp-

[Sweet Alex] Crim!

[Crim] - flinches, then turns tail and runs towards the trees.

[Sweet Alex] Dashes after him - Crim! Come back!

[Gk] Looks even more annoyed now- runt...

[Lie] - GK why?

[Gk] He went after me first. I'm not apologizing.

[Crim] - climbs up the nearest tree and hides in the leaves.

[Sweet Alex] Stands at the foot of the tree - It's okay! You're safe! Just don't go picking fights with bigger dragons like that!

[Lie] - GK he's a baby still, it's like if Oak attacks you, or Ashe

[Gk] Swishes his tail - Oak and Ashe are not nether dragons...

[Lie] - Why does that make a difference, hadn't you wanted to meet another Nether dragon?  I seem to recall you saying that at one point

[Crim] - crawls higher up - No. Big biter bad.

[Gk] Back then... I just wanted to know I wasn't alone... not just some.. freak...

[Sweet Alex] He can be. But he's also my friend. He's probably just jealous.

[Lie] - So you'll act an uncle to some but not others?  GK, Crim has nobody, we found him on the other seed.  He doesn't have a parental figure

[Crim] - hiding - No, he like other bigs. Bite, step, mean. Crim won't let bite or steps.

[Gk] Has the very slightest hint of shame on his goat like features and harrumphs.

[Lie] - Don't make him feel like an outcast GK

[Sweet Alex] he's just emotional, he lets his instincts get the better of him sometimes

[Gk] Looks away- I'm old Lie... Don't need some pup to take me out. Gotta show I'm still heathy enough to fight....

[Lie] - There are other ways GK

[Gk] Curls up so he doesn't have to look at anyone-

[Sweet Alex] Crim? Please come down. I won't let Gk hurt you. He cares about his friendship with me too much for that

[Lie] - GK, not every leader earns their position by being the strongest.  Don't you hear how Sweet Alex is describing you?  You don't need to fight any of them

[Crim] - snorts, but slowly crawls down. Lands next to her.

[Gk] Ruffles his wings, he's obviously unsettled-

[Lie] - Do you really want to disappoint Sweet Alex?  Endrea?  The little ones?

[Sweet Alex] Hugs Crim around the neck- you're okay

[Gk] Tiny growl

[Crim] rumbles - Crim good.

[Lie] - Don't confuse the child GK, be there for him like you are for Ashe, for Willow and Oak, how you were there for Endrea

[Gk] Very quietly- I'll think about it...

[Lie] - I know you'll make the right choice

[Gk] more grumbling. But he does show his face under one wing-

[Lie] - I have some trading to do in the village, I'll check in on you later, okay?

[Gk] Snarky comment too quiet to hear. Probably along the lines of 'yes mom'.

[Lie] - I can still hear you mentally GK

[Sweet Alex] Scratches Crim under the chin- Shall we go back and introduce you properly?

[Gk] Pppppppthhhh-

[Crim] - sighs but nods

[Sweet Alex] Leads Crim back over to Gk and Mix-

[Gk] Watches Crim from under his wing-

[Sweet Alex] Change! You're scaring him-

[Gk] Snort!

[Sweet Alex] Gk.....

[Gk] Shifts back to his human form. He's a rather small brine. Him and Sweet Alex are only a block and a half tall each. His hands are in his pockets and his expression is a bit sour-

[Crim] You like others, big and small. No scare Crim, I goods.

[Gk] We'll see. I'm the designated babysitter around here, and if I'm sitting, what I say goes.

[Crim] - frowns - Then no steps, no bites. Crim goods but not allow hurts again.

[Gk] Don't attack me a again and I won't.

[Crim] No scares then.

[Gk] Grumbles - no scares...

[Sweet Alex] Good. And I'll be watching to make sure you keep that promise.

[Gk] Grumpy noises-

[Crim] - nods - Will tries hard. - rumble purrs.

-Bird noises, Firebird is looking for the CN at Lie's house-

[CN] Is working on making another wooden sword at a crafting table in the workroom-

[Firebird] -Plops a bit and fiddles door before hopping inside-

[CN] - Birdy!

[Firebird] -Chirp-

-Firebird scuttles up to CN-

[CN] Turns back towards the crafting table- I have to make another sword...  Mine broke...  Again...

[Firebird] -Plop head against table, thoughtful look as shuffle wings- ... Why not make a better sword with higher durability?

[CN] - They're too heavy- He pulls the new wooden sword off of the table

[Firebird] Fair enough... What about Unbreaking enchantments?

[CN] Shrugs- I don't know how

[Firebird] Here, I'll help. Lets go over to the enchanting table and see if it offers that..

[CN] Carries the sword over to the floating book and grows a bit nervous as it turns towards him-

[Firebird] Don't worry kiddo, here, set the sword here. *Gesture before tapping the book a bit

[CN] Does so and then jumps back a little-

[Firebird] Lets see... Lets see... Efficiency... No.... Knockback...

[CN] - What do those do?

[Firebird] Effeciency is meant for tools. Makes things work faster.. Knockback sends whatever you hit further. ...Bane of arthropods? Huh. Still no... Ah! Here's unbreaking... Can't tell what version though...

[CN] - Arthropods?

[Firebird] ..I think that's spiders. Not sure.

[Firebird] -Enchants sword with unbreaking-

[CN] Gasps- It's shiny!

[Firebird] Mhmm! *Return sword to CN

[CN] Swings it a couple of times, his eyes focused on it's shininess-

[CN] - So what did you do to it?

[Firebird] Enchanted it with unbreaking. It'll take longer to break now, so you won't have to build a new one anytime soon bud.

[CN] - Cool!  So what are we doing today?

[Firebird] Dunno, anything you want to do? I didn't plan anything today.

[CN] Shrugs- Lie went out early and I don't know where the big meanie is...

[Firebird] I could take you for a fly.

[CN] Perks up- You could?

[Firebird] Mhmm!

[CN] - Let's go!  Let's go!

[Firebird] I'm pretty sure I can lift you.

[CN] Bounces a bit eagerly-

[Firebird] Well lets go outside! *scuttle scuttle

[CN] Puts the new sword in his inventory and follows-

[Firebird] -Swoosh up into the air outside, thoughtfully staring at CN-

[CN] - So how will you carry me?

[Firebird] Like this! *swoop down and hook talons around CN's shoulders, lifting him up into the air

[CN] Yelps but settles down quickly as the ground passes beneath them-

[Firebird] Nothing like being in the air...

[CN] - ...  Could I learn how to do this on my own?

[Firebird] Hm... Not sure... You'd have to ask Doc, probably.

[CN] Huffs and pouts a little-

[Firebird] Hmmm? What's wrong? Don't like talking to Doc? *droop head to look at CN while flying

[CN] - They led to DN being killed...  He was my friend...

[Firebird] He was downright insufferable to everyone else, CN. You just got lucky, I guess... *lift head and rise some more in the air

[CN] Spots familiar sights from above- Everybody looks so small...

[Firebird] Yeah...  It's also so quiet up here.

[CN] - Huh, I guess your right...  It's always noisy and busy around Lie's house

[Firebird] This is probably the quietest spot, beyond maybe at the bottom of the ocean? Dunno.

[Firebird] I used to fly a lot on my seed. Just watch everything.

[CN] - I don't know any other seeds...  Well, there's the one with all the other NOTCH's... But otherwise, this is the only place I've been

[Firebird] You could go exploring, if you wanted.

[CN] - I'm not strong enough...  The mobs would just end up killing me

[Firebird] Hm.... With company then.

[CN] - But who?  Lie is busy with all of her plants and animals, and Big Meanie is out of the question...

[Firebird] Make some friends and wander. I might, maybe.

[CN] - But everyone around my age doesn't want to leave the village!

[Firebird] Then fuck them. *soft bird snort and swoop down a bit

[CN] - Big Meanie says that word a lot...  What does it mean?

[Firebird] Depends how it's used. Could be rude, or sexual.

[CN] - I don't understand...

[Firebird] Maybe when you're older.

[CN] - Okay, where are we going?

[Firebird] Just around. You want somewhere specific?

[CN] Shakes his head-

[Firebird] Alright. -Swoooosh

[CN] Is just looking at everything-

[fearofaherobrine]

Roleplay Server Log #154

"Alex, Alex, Alex and Herabrine”

[Alexis] Is making her way down towards the bay-

[Alexsezia] Is fishing with several cats laying around her. Behind her Smudge is cropping grass while China and Hellion take a nap together in their pen. There's a splash in the distance of Herabrine swimming in the bay.

[Alexis] Knocks on the side of Alexsezia's house- Mind some company?

[Alesexia] Looks up - Not at all. It's just a lazy afternoon. Want some chase and crackers? There's milk in the little trunk too. - Indicates a small trunk beside the horse pen.

[Alexis] - Sure, why not.  So, anything new happen lately?

[Alexsezia] Oh not much. I went to town a couple of times since we talked last. It's really become a lively place with all the kids running around. But the Testificates seem happier, it's all the fun of players with none of the griefing.

[Alexis] -I see, and, sorry again for punching you the last time we talked...

[Alexsezia] Juts out her jaw a bit at the memory. - I forgive you. You were distraught, I know how upsetting this is for you.

[Alexis] - Thanks...  I really do miss him so much, but it's so odd watching him as a child...

{Alexsezia] There's a tugging on the line and Alexsezia flips up the string and catches a salmon before tossing it out again. The cats swarm on it like hungry piranahs and pick it clean of pixels. - It is strange, but he seems happy at least. I feel like this experience may help mend the rift between him and his brother.

[Alexis] - That will be so strange at first.  Stevie did his best to protect me from CP back on the other servers

[Alexsezia] Cp's a dork. It's fun watching Doc annoy him. It's hard to remember how scary he used to be.

[Alexis] - Maybe for you.  The last time we encountered him personally, well, that was the first time he really tried to kill me...  I didn't realize how much Stevie was protecting me

[Alexsezia] Yeah... Things are so different here. I admit I've been watching most of it at a remove as well. I'm just looking at the result.

-There's a few ripples and bubbles in the water a little ways out-

[Alexis] - Yeah...  I wonder how Lie and CP will react once their house ends up being quiet again?

[Alexsezia] But it won't be quiet. There's still Ashe and Willow and Oak.

[Alexis] - Yes, but the dragons seem to grow up pretty fast

[Alexsezia] I think that won't be the case with Ashe. Since he's stunted, I think he'll be under his mothers wing for quite some time. - There's a little tug on the line and Alexsezia draws back a pair of iron boots. - Sheesh. Well at least they're enchanted.

[Alexis] - That's the white one...  right?

[Alexsezia] Yes, the one with the googles. Need a pair of boots? It looks like they have a mid-level unbreaking.

[Alexis] - Nah, I've got a higher one at home- She pops some chase into her mouth

-Another little splash-

[Alexsezia] Narrows her eyes as she stares at the water and then reels the line in again. The lobster flops off the end of the hook and scuttles across the blanket snipping it claws- Yikes!

-Chuckle from the water-

[Alexis] Grabs an arrow from her inventory and stabs the lobster-

[Alexsezia] I know you're out there. Stop messing around. If you want to talk come over here and stop putting dumb things on my line!

[Herabrine] Pops up in the shallows- You're no fun.

[Alexsezia] Any new gossip Hera?

[Herabrine] Grins hugely - I saw something I shouldn't have....

[Alexis] - What was it?

[Herabrine] Weeeeellll - she twiddles a bit of her hair between her fingers. -I saw Flicker and Priestess Beanz taking an early morning stroll by the shore.

[Alexsezia] Sneaky brine...

[Alexis] - Who?

[Alexsezia] Priestess Beanz was the high authority in Jebs main church on my old seed, she kinda got dragged in with us in the chaos of our escape from there.

[Herabrine] And Flicker is a weird Testificate gal who dresses like a creeper and keeps a huge amount of them as pets. They have a kind of hate hate thing going outwardly. There are a lot of people taking bets on when they'll snap from the sexual tension and pounce one another.

[Alexis] - I see...

[Alexsezia] But they argue all the damn time.

[Herabrine] So I know next to zip about you Alexsis, tell me everything. - She's grinning and flipping her plastic monofin idly in the shallows.

[Alexis] - Uh, well, like most Alex's I'm an archer, I like cooking and cleaning.  I really don't like staying in one place...  Oh and rabbits seem to really like me

[Alexsezia] You actually like doing the domestic thing? I've cooked for TLOT and Steve before but mostly because neither of them are that good at it. Well... TLOT has gotten better since we came here. But still, I prefer making potions to food.

[Herabrine] I'm technically an Alex, but honestly, I suck with a bow.

[Alexis] - The taste of potions kinda deters me from making them a bit, but I like things to be organized...  And Stevie can't cook worth a shit

[Herabrine] GK can't cook either. So glad I live alone. Just me and Maggie under the sea.

[Alexsezia] Doc mentioned that with Cp's potions. Yours taste bad too? Have you tried making any since you got here? Maybe it's a local ingredient thing affecting the taste?

[Herabrine] Idly uses her fin to flip a luckless fish into the midst of the cats.

[Alexis] - I've never had any of CP's potions, but I know mine are a bit better than Stevies. I haven't made any potions since getting here

[Alexsezia] Maybe that's something we should try, because mine don't taste nasty at all. Though not as good as Doc's, but I suspect xe puts sugar in theirs when no one is looking.

[Alexis] - We could try- She eats a bit more

[Herabrine] Rolls over to look at Alexsezia upside down - Am I welcome in your house Alexsezia? Even with my wet feet?

[Alexsezia] Rolls her eyes- As long as they're nice to the cats, everyone is welcome in my house.

[Herabrine] Awesome- she notices the impaled lobster and lifts it up on the arrow. - Who did this?

[Alexis] - I did

[Herabrine] Then I'll show you a trick - She draws up a tentacle of water and englobes the dead lobster

[Alexis] Watches with interest-

[Herabrine] puts one finger in the globe and it starts to steam and boil as if it were in a hot glass ball. After a minute she shakes the water off and holds the arrow out to Alexsis - Ready for eating. Just break the shell open.

[Alexsezia] Best thing Cp ever gave you huh?

[Herabrine] Yeah, usually he just gives me a headache

[Alexis] Frowns- CP gave you this?

[Herabrine] I went on a little astral excursion into the real world with him and basically made him my butt boy as payment for my assistance. He bought me a ton of shit. But these guys have really adapted well to life here and they're common all up and down the coast now.

[Alexis] - That just seems...  So strange for him...

[Herabrine] He bought me this too- waves the monofin like a mermaid tail.

[Alexsezia] Yeah because you badgered him. That was a nice piece of work.

[Alexsezia] Come on anyway Alexis, let's go inside and butter your bug before the meat gets cold.

[Alexis] Frowns- Finding it difficult to wrap her head around CP being even remotely nice

[Herabrine] kicks up her fin and puts it away, as she climbs out of the water it steams off her clothes and hair.

[Alexsezia] gathers up the trunk and fishing pole before leading them inside.

[Herabrine] I've actually never seen the inside of your house before. It's cute.

[Alexis] Pets some of the cats-

[Alexsezia] Gets out some butter and gives it to Alexis - Thank you. It's modest since it's just me and the kitties.

[Herabrine] You say that like there aren't tons of cats in here.

[Alexis] - She does have a point...

[Alexsezia] You have your hobbies, I have mine.

[Alexis] Takes the butter and heads for Alexsezia's kitchen-

-Cats smell the slightly fishy scent and some of them investigate Alexis-

[Alexis] - Oh hush, this isn't for you

[Herabrine] So what do you do all day Alexsezia? I don't see you go out much.

[Alexsezia] well.... I've been painting a lot.

[Alexis] - You've been making pictures?

[Alexsezia] Yeah, I use the little dye blobs. I figured out a way to connect the sheets of paper without making them into maps first too.

[Alexis] - Interesting...

[Alexsezia] I can show you how if you're artistically inclined. And what about you Hera, don't you get lonely hanging out underwater all the time?

[Alexis] - Not really, never really had time

[Herabrine] I kinda.... I miss the temple I guarded before I was.... changed. So I've been doing underwater builds.

[Alexsezia] Like what?

[Herabrine] There's a shrine with a decorative roof and an underwater garden so far. I made some little roads too.

[Alexis] - Neat, you said you had a pet?

[Herabrine] I have a small magma cube named Maggie. I just keep her in a pen in my house mostly.

[Alexis] - I see.- Starts eating the lobster

[Alexis] - The only thing in my house is the kitten Alexsezia gave me

[Alexis] - Hey Hera, how has Lie been lately?

[Alexsezia] You know if you want more pets there's nothing stopping you Alexsis.   I bet if you asked Deerheart she could even get you a Pokemon next time Doc takes her out.

[Herabrine] I don't know Alexis, she seems stressed lately. I think her trip to the so-called manor was a real eye-opener. I had my fun there mostly because I was traveling astrally and could just bring myself out of it and wake up here if it all got to be too much, plus it filtered the worst of the smells. Lie is... Well like her flowers, she needs certain things to flourish. And none of those things can exist in Slenders house except for Cp himself. And while she does love Stevie, the constant crush of him needing attention and her not getting intimate time with her husband is wearing on her.

[Alexis] - I see...  I keep wanting to go over there and check on Stevie at least...  Even though it still hurts a bit to think that he doesn't remember me...  But it's the thought of CP that keeps deterring me...

[Alexsezia] You just feel vulnerable since you're a human in a brines house...

[Herabrine] He's got no reason to be pissed at you though... And I could go with you. Or, I'm sure if you asked Doc, or TLOT that they'd say the same.

[Alexis] - Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.- She sighs and eats a bit more

[Alexis] - Although the last time CP and I really interacted was when I was helping Lie escape...

-there is a loud thump outside vin is outside holding gem under his arm she seems frustrated and struggling-

[Alexis] - Uh, what was that?

[Herabrine] I doubt he's forgotten about that, but it's kind of irrelevant now, don't you think?

[Alexis] - Ah, weeeeeeell, I did kinda supply the weapon for Lie to send him back to respawn...

[Alexsezia] glances out the window and stares - wait? Lie managed to kill him?

[Herabrine] Holy shit.

[Alexis] - Yeah, we were in a swamp, and Stevie had already taken a good chunk of his health out.  She got a hold of my bow and quiver which had landed in a bush after he ripped me off of my horse.  She shot him right between the ribs in the heart.

[Alexsezia] Now that's ironic.

[Herabrine] No shit. Beauty killed the beast.

[Alexis] - She was pretty terrified at the time, she had just escaped the Nether, ended up in a snow biome, and CP was determined to drag her back to the Nether

[Alexsezia] It doesn't matter, it's still an acomplishment. Usually it's the players getting turned to mush by brines.

[Herabrine] Gives a little warning growl.

[Alexsezia] I didn't say it was right! But you guys have a bigger health bar then even the ender dragon!

[Herabrine] Still looks miffed. - We have to live here. Players can log off.

[Alexis] - Like I said, Stevie had taken a good chunk of his health out already, but that was a remarkable shot on her end

[Alexis] - I can't imagine what things are like from your perspective Hera, that is, since you're a brine yourself

[Alexsezia] Agreed, I didn't know Lie was good with a bow. I'm not sure I've ever seen her with a weapon, besides her plants.

[Herabrine] I'm a bit less beset then the others. The NOTCHs probably don't even know I exist. Well apart from the one who cursed me and GK... and he seemed content to just watch us suffer.

[Alexis] - I'd say Lie is almost as good as us Alex's with a bow, and I suppose you're lucky at not really being known Hera.  It makes you less of a target from those outside of the seed, and pretty much makes you an ace up our sleeves

[Herabrine] Hmph. You guys don't always include me in your little circles. I'll help Lie because she's my friend. But I'm not sticking my neck out unless the server itself is in danger, I know how important it is to GK to keep Steffan safe at least. Otherwise, nope. Not unless there's something in it for me.

[Alexis] - I see...  You know we could see if Lie would want to come out hunting with us

[Herabrine] That's not much of a challenge....

[Alexis] - Why is that?"

[Herabrine] Because if I want to kill an animal I can form a water block around it's head and drown it.

[Alexis] Leans away a little- Please don't...  I meant with bows...

[Herabrine] Why? It's efficient and they die really quickly.

[Alexsezia] I think you're missing the point Hera.

[Herabrine] I thought you wanted to go hunt? The point is to kill some food right?

[Alexis] - Not this hunt, it's more of a...  skill check

[Herabrine] Cocks her head at an angle.

[Alexsezia] She means like a contest.

[Herabrine] Oh.

[Alexis] - And it's for fun

[Herabrine] Okay, but when it's my turn I'm gonna use my water beam. I'm not good with physical weapons.

[Alexis] - That's fine.  Should we just go see if Lie's available now?  I mean the three of us are already here...  And should we invite Sweet Alex?

[Herabrine] Rolls her eyes but no one notices- Whatever....

[Alexsezia] Is already typing in the chat. - It looks like she's by the fountain, she says she'll meet us by Lie's greenhouse.

[Alexis] - Great, we can probably borrow some of Lie's horses too if we wanted

[Herabrine] Floats a little off the floor - Yeah, not gonna bother with that.

[Alexis] - What is with brine kind and floating?

[Alexsezia] I'll just take Smudge.

[Herabrine] It's fun. And quicker them walking.

[Alexis] - Lucky

[Alexsezia] Goes outside -

[Alexis] Heads outside- Well, we better not keep the others waiting

[Herabrine] Shoots quickly behind Alexis and grabs her around the waist, holding her forward and flying her quickly less then two blocks above the ground.

[Alexsezia] Runs for her horse and is soon hot on their heels

[Alexis] Yelps in surprise-

[Herabrine] Goes up a bit and makes a quick loop before shooting up the side of the fountain and fast down the opposite side.

[Alexsezia] Leaps her horse over the water.

[Alexis] - HERA WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?

[Sweet Alex] Is laughing below -I think it's called hot dogging!

[CP] Growls from inside his and Lie's bedroom-

[Lie] - Calm down CP, they're just having fun

[Sweet Alex] Is chasing underneath merrily as Herabrine zooms along with Alexis in her arms

[Herabrine] Come on! It's fun!

[Alexis] - And a bit terrifying!

[Herabrine] Goes up and makes a wide curve around - Doc is worse!

[Alexis] - I've noticed!

[Herabrine] Hey I know! - She goes super high and pulls a pair of elytra out of creative.

[Sweet Alex] Is just standing there shading her eyes, looking very tiny below

[Alexsezia] She doesn't know how to use those!

[Herabrine] No time like the present! - Slaps them on Alexis and lets her fall.

[Alexis] Shrieks as she falls-

[Herabrine] tps below her and bumps her up so the wings catch and spread

[Alexis] May be gliding now but cannot steer-

[Herabrine] Is flying along beside her. - You have to turn. Unless you want to go to Doc's castle instead of Lies house.

[Alexis] - HOW!?

[Herabrine] Grabs a wing and bends it down so Alexis is turning-

[Alexis] Yells as she turns too far and is heading towards Alexsezia's house-

[Herabrine] Is floating at speed above her and turns her again

[Alexis] Is now heading towards Lie's place- How do we reach the ground1/

[Herabrine] They'll naturally angle down. Just kinda tuck and roll right before you hit.

[Alexis] - LIKE NOW!?

[Herabrine] Now is good

[Alexis] Slams into the ground-

[Herabrine] That's not good.

[Alexsezia] Gallops up. - That wasn't much of a landing

[Sweet Alex] Is already on her - Are you hurt?!

[Alexis] Pushes herself up- Owww, I'm okay, taken worse then that

[Herabrine] Still fun though.

[Alexsezia] Hera...

[Alexis] Maybe after more practice

[Herabrine] What? She said it so bitter, like she was jelous.

[Sweet Alex] Elytra are better with a friend who can fly. I'm pretty good with them thanks to GK.

[Alexsezia] I think I'll stick with my horse.

*Firebird glides down and circles around them a bit

[Alexis] - I think I like the ground better too, but it would be a decent skill to learn

[Herabrine] Either way, keep em, with my blessings.

[Aweet Alex] Oh! What a pretty bird!

[Herabrine] Pfft. He's not a bird. That's a NOTCH. Mix's NOTCH to be precise.

[Alexsezia] Gives Firebird a suspicious look - Did Doc clear this one to be here?

[Firebird] Chirp.

[Herabrine] Yeeeah. He's some kinda pacifist.

[Sweet Alex] I think he's beautiful.

[Firebird] Chirp. *Tries to land on Sweet Alex's head or shoulder. Anything that's available.

[Alexis] - I'm betting CP's already tried to kill him...

[Sweet Alex] Want a cracker pretty birdie? - Offers one-

[Herabrine] Yep. Doc stopped him. Mix vouched for him and since they're also a brine they took responsibility for him.

[Alexis] - I don't think I've met Mix

[Sweet Alex] Wobbles under him, she's only a block and a half tall.

[Alexsezia] Look for a brine with dark skin and glowing freckles. She's very quiet and sweet.

[Alexis] - I see.  So, do we enter the demons lair?- Jabs a thumb at Lie's place

*Firebird takes the offered cracker and holds it in his beak happily.

[Herabrine] Cp? A demon? - Laughs- He's a pussycat.

[Alexsezia] Snorts - That's one dangerous kitty. You should have seen the damage he caused in my house, fireball scoring and cat piss everywhere!

[Sweet Alex] Falls flat under Firebird- Oof!

[Alexis] - I've seen him a few times as a cat...  Trying to hide under our house...

[Firebird] ... *Awkwardly hops off Sweet Alex

[Alexsezia] Yeaaah, he really shouldn't piss off TLOT, he may seem harmless but it's just because he's trying so hard to be a nice person. He's incredibly formidable if you challenge him.

[Sweet Alex] Dusts herself off. She pats Firebird- It's okay.

[Herabrine] grumbles- I wouldn't fight with him....

[Alexis] - I was luckily on the other side of the house, Stevie barely managed to scramble out of the way

[Firebird] Chirp! *Flaps wings a bit and eats his crackers finally

[Herabrine] I remember.

[Alexsezia] Well Cp trapped Doc. And they are close friends. Nether, everyone in my group owes Doc just for bringing us here. You didn't see what we escaped from.

[Alexis] - What did you escape from?  The NOTCH I know has always been kind to Stevie and I so I'm not really able to imagine what you may have gone through...

[Alexsezia] You don't know? Our NOTCH is a monster. He did terrible things to both TLOT and Steve. Trying to part them, kill them, attacking them even in their dreams. At the end I didn't even see our NOTCH. Just the wave of absolute destruction as something invisible and titanic smashed our Testificate village and ripped up the trees and earth as it stomped towards us.

[Sweet Alex] Is staring - really? Notch's can do that?

[Herabrine] That and worse.

[Alexis] - That...  Is terrifying

[CP] Is growing more agitated as he tries to focus on Lie-

[Herabrine] Why do you think none of us trust guys like this?- thumbs at Firebird.

[Alexsezia] TLOT is terrified of the Nether because of our NOTCH, he was left to suffer there once, crucifed with swords on a crude throne. Steve saved him.

*Annoyed feather ruffle

[Alexis] - Ours was just always so kind, I know Doc has said there were two, but...  I've only ever known one...

[Herabrine] What about Markus? You met him at the baby shower, right?

[Sweet Alex] This one seems harmless though. But I wonder why he's a bird?

[Alexis] - Oh that's right.  I didn't really talk to him though...

[Alexsezia] He's nice enough. He seems to really enjoy taking care of Stevie at least.

[Herabrine] He's a dork too. Did you see the hair Doc gave him?

[Alexis] - Is that what that is?  I thought it was some sort of animal with how much he was petting it

[Alexsezia] chuckles- It's because he's attracted to Flux. He plays with it whenever he spots her.

[Sweet Alex] Awwwwwww!

[Alexis] - Flux?

[Herabrine] Yeah the magic girl. I haven't met her but I've seen her around. She's nine shades of purple. Apparently she's sorta related to CP and Stevie?

[Sweet Alex] Really, is she their mom?

[Alexis] - I've never heard of her...

[Alexsezia] She just got here, a few days ago? I've seen her name in the chat.

[Alexis] - Lie probably knows more

[Herabrine] We should go bug her- She chucks a dirt block at the side of Lie's room.

[Sweet Alex] HERA!

[CP] Has had enough and slams open the bedroom door, storming out onto the bridge- ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?  STOP FUCKING BUGGING US!

[Firebird] *ducks behind Sweet Alex

[Herabrine] - dissolves into a gale of giggles

[Sweet Alex] Turns an embarrassed pink

[Alexsezia] Points at Herabrine- she did it.

[Herabrine] Choking on her laughter - why are you naked?

[CP] Growls- WHY DO YOU THINK!?  STEVIE'S MINING WITH STEVE, THE DRAGONS ARE OUT AND SO IS FUCKING NOTCH!

[Alexsezia] Starts giggling as well.

[Sweet Alex] We should go!

[Herabrine] Pffft!

[CP] - YES!  GO!  LET ME FUCK MY WIFE FOR FUCKING ONCE!

[Herabrine] Can we go kill things now?

[Alexis] - I really hoped Lie could come with us...

[Alexsezia] Lie is busy. This can be an Alex only outing.

[CP] - Go...  Shoo

[Sweet Alex] I brought a bow. Can the bird come with us?

[Herabrine] Whatever, lets go.

[Alexsezia] Turns Smudge. - let's go out on the savannah

[Alexis] - C...  CP?  Can you let Lie know I'm borrowing a horse?

[CP] - Yeah fine whatever, just leave!

[Sweet Alex] Looks around in the area slightly beyond the house and saddles a wild pig.

[Herabrine] You are such a dweeb.

[Alexsezia] Is trotting along on Smudge. - Come on guys, lets go

[Alexis] Goes into the stable and comes out with a light bay colored horse and easily climbs on-

*Firebird takes to the air above them

[Alexis] Trots to catch up with Alexsezia and draws up beside her, pulling out her own bow-

[Herabrine] Points out a cluster of chickens - there you go, those are small targets.

[Alexis] - So who goes first?

[Sweet Alex] Me! - She pulls out a normal looking bow and aims for the closest chicken. She hits it, but just barely.

[Alexis] - Nice, my turn!- She notches an arrow and takes aim, releasing a steadying breath she releases the arrow, it strikes right in a chickens head

[Alexsezia] Is moving the bow around, trying to decide on a target. Finally she arcs the arrow up gently and and it comes down at a graceful angle, nearly hitting the bird from straight above.

[Herabrine] Makes a sniffing noise and does a little spin on one heel before unleashing an energy blast that not only kills the target, but cooks it as well.

[Alexis] - Oh, we're doing that are we?- Pulls out a bow with flame and fire aspect on it

[Sweet Alex] is lining up for another shot when the pig under her bumps her arm. The shot goes wild and the arrow sticks firmly in Firebirds rear as he flies over. - SORRY!

[Herabrine] Falls over laughing- Perfect shot!

[Alexis] - Oh, ouch...

[Alexsezia] I heard what you did to Steffan, what is it with you and shooting people in the butt?

[Sweet Alex] I'M SORRY!

[Alexis] - It's okay, if he comes over here we can remove it

[Herabrine] Hey birb-brain! Get over here!

[Herabrine] Turns back to Alexis - Lets see what you got Alex.

[Alexsezia] Makes a quick gallop around and picks up the dropped items.

[Alexis] There's a determined flash in Alexis' eye- You're on- She spots some pigs at a greater distance and takes aim and fires, she hits the farthest pig and it alights, showing that she did hit it.  It quickly dies and leaves behind a cooked porkchop

[Herabrine] Does a little flip in the air and throws a hand dramatically at a small pool of water. A clear tentacle of it rises up and grabs a cow before pulling it under the surface with barely a ripple.

[Sweet Alex] Holy crap.... that's kinda scary.

[Alexis] - Hmmm- She decides to notch two arrows on her string-  Let's see how well we can hit multiple targets at once

*Firebird lands and awkwardly tries to remove the arrow himself, looking very uncomfortable and in pain

[Alexsezia] Well I'm out, I can't do more then one arrow. Come here birdie. I'll get that arrow.

[Herabrine] Is searching for suitable targets.

[Alexis] Releases her double arrows on the two remaining pigs, both hit, not as solidly as she would have liked, but they hit-

*Firebird  hisses a bit softly

[Herabrine] Well, I can make waves that knock lots of players down at once, or a cluster of tendrils from one pool... But I can only do one energy blast from each hand. It's not much of an effort to aim anyway, I can just point at stuff.

[Alexsezia] Is trying to get close to Firebird.

*He flaps a wing at her, but that's about it

[Alexsezia] Pulls the arrow out with a little 'pook'

[Alexis] - Well Hera?  It's your turn

[Herabrone] Throws a pair of short blasts, the one from her left hand almost misses, but both of them nearly explode the chickens into clouds of feathers.

[Alexis] - Hmmm...  Seems we're about even...

[Herabrine] Yeah I usually just use my right hand or both clasped together.

[Alexis] - Only reason I can fire two arrows at once is because of CP's mobs...

[Sweet Alex] Necessity will always keep you in practice.

[Alexis] - Exactly

[Alexsezia] I've gotten pretty good at just avoiding the mobs. I kinda feel bad fighting the skeletons at least since I know what they actually are.

[Alexis] - What they actually are?

[Alexszia] On our seed at least, they're the remains of dead Steves. All TLOT's failed experiments before the one he fell in love with.

[Herabrine] Ours are just grunts. They're their own species.

[Alexis] - They...  They were like us?

[Sweet Alex] You've never talked to Steve's 'brothers'? Navy is a little serious, but most of them are very polite.

[Alexis] - I haven't really been around there much, plus it never really occurred to me...

[Sweet Alex] Do what I do if you want to visit someone. Make some food and take it over as a present.

[Alexsezia] Just be prepared to pay close attention. They can't really talk, they kinda do sign language.

[Alexis] - I know CP can speak to and understand his mobs, but Stevie and I can't...

[Herabrine] Look for any skeleton wearing a sweater and a hat. Some of the mounted one's patrol outside the town regularly.

[Alexsezia] I can't either. Just wave and smile. You'll get the hang of it quite quickly.

[Alexis] - I'll try.  Stevie's also mentioned one named Sam?

[Sweet Alex] Oh I love Sam, he's the best.

[Herabrine] genuine smile - He's the bartender at the brine bar. It's the building with the lava fountain beside the library

[Alexis] - Oh, I actually haven't been there...

[Alexsezia] Well it's not just brines only anymore. But there is still a sign that says humans have to be accompanied by a brine. They keep it up mostly for chuckles now.

[Herabrine] We can go there afterwards if you want.

[Alexis] - I'm not so sure...

[Herabrine] Why? You've got me. - grins hugely-

[Alexis] - You nearly gave me a heart attack earlier...

[Sweet Alex] Oh hush, it's safe

[Herabrine] That was just a bit of fun, and Elytra are rare items.

[Alexsezia] For anyone who can't access creative....

[Alexis] - I suppose we could go there...

[Herabrine] It's the middle of the day. It's unlikely any of the other brines besides me are even out of bed.

[Alexsezia] TLOT is probably just getting his coffee now, he's not a morning person.

[Alexis] - And as much as I hate to think about it, we know where CP and Lie is

[Sweet Alex] Gk might be around, but he's probably napping.

[Alexsezia] And I'd bet you an emerald Doc is way underground in hir lab and has been working on some project since mid-day yesterday.

[Alexis] - Good point

[Herabrine] Gathers up the rest of the meat. - Come on then, it's not that far away, we'll cut around the huge tree and skirt the fenced off forest thing.

[Sweet Alex] I heard there's a spooky clown in there.

[Alexis] - Really?

[Alexsezia] Yeah, another creepypasta, I hear music when I go by sometimes. It's weird. I get the feeling there's a much bigger area inside that small fence.

[Herabrine] Makes spooky noises-

[Alexis] - How is that possible?

[Alexsezia] No idea, but I'm not going in to find out, and neither should any of you.

[Alexis] - Hmmm...

[Sweet Alex] Looks into the trees - I wonder why someone would hide in there all alone?

[Alexis] - You said it was a creepy pasta?  Who knows...

[Alexsezia] I know it has something to do with all the new human kids in the village.

[Herabrine] Maybe he eats little kids!

[Alexis] - I noticed that, it's a lot of kids, isn't it?

[Sweet Alex] Hera! That's horrible!

[Alexsezia] More then could have been in there unnoticed. - thumbs at the small fenced in forest.

[Alexis] - That's for sure...

[Alexsezia] Clops past the library - It's just over here. There's a horse pen in the front.

[Alexis] - Good, don't want to lose Lie's horse

[Sweet Alex] Unsaddles the pig and gives it a pat before letting it loose. - Thank you piggy

[Herabrine] Makes a show of holding the door for them.

[Sweet Alex] Thank you Hera

[Alexis] Jumps into the pen before dismounting and climbing out of the pen and follows Sweet Alex in-

[Sam] Stops and stares at them for a moment before shaking hir head.

[Sweet Alex] Hi Sam. I brought friends.

[Alexis] Nervously looks around-

[Herabrine] Slaps the dead chickens on the counter. - Could you cook and sauce these up for us Sam?

[Sam] Shakes hir head egarly and bustles off into the kitchen with the meat.

[Alexsezia] Picks up a handful of darts and lobs them gently one by one into a target on the wall.

[Alexis] Takes a seat at a booth-

[Sweet Alex] Hops up on a barstool and makes it turn back and forth while kicking her feet.

[Sam] brings back the chicken with what's obviously four different glazes and passes it around with cups of lemonade.

[Alexsezia] I see TLOT was here.

[Alexis] Takes a glass-What is this?

[Alexsezia] It's juice from a type of fruit that Lie made. Something from the outside.

[Herabrine] Just try it, it's puckery  and sweet. - Takes a huge bite of chicken and eats it noisly

[Sweet Alex] Nibbles delicately.

[Alexis] Takes a sip- Not bad

[Sam] makes a questioning gesture at Alexsis-

[Sweet Alex] Sam this is Alexsis, she's with Cp's group.

[Sam] Gives a Alexis a look that conveys some obvious pity and pulls out a nicely decorated dessert with apples and whipped cream before setting it in front of her. He does some more hand waving, mimes cat ears on his own skull and makes an obvious wanking motion. Herabrine laughs in his direction

[Herabrine] Alexis, if it wasn't blazingly obvious xe basically says Cp's a wanker and here's something nice for you since Xe feels sorry for you for having to deal with his crap before he came here.

[Alexsezia] Yeah Sam's had a front-row seat to Cps stupid behavior several times.

[Sam] Holds up a couple of bony digits and makes a gesture at the floor and indicates the shape of flames.

[Alexsezia] Yeah.... Who builds a bar for Herobrine's out of wood anyway? Don't almost all of you run super high body temperatures even when you're in peak health?

[Herabrine] I dunno, I'm not super hot. And Lie must run cold for a brine since lava actually hardens on her.

[Sweet Alex] Doc isn't that hot are they? I thought their glitch was more an electrical thing then a heat issue?

[Alexsezia] Yeah, but TLOT is crazy hot. Steve told me once that he had to use a ghast-skin condom to top him. I was there the first time he tried without one and he only lasted a few minutes.

[Sweet Alex] Steve is bad in bed?

[Alexsezia] No! He burned his wiener and had to quit!

[Herabrine] is laughing so hard she can barely breathe-

[Sweet Alex] Wait.... Alexsezia.... Why were you watching them have sex? I thought you were ace like me?

[Alexsezia] I am, it's complicated... Suffice to say I didn't want to be there and I was pretty scared that TLOT would somehow trick Steve and hurt him for trying that. But I couldn't leave him alone with someone i was pretty sure at the time was a horrible monster.

[Alexis] - Can't really blame you for thinking that- Finished her food - Pretty good. As for the subject of sex, I can't really talk since I really didn't know about or till Stevie and I came here

[Alexsezia] I was wrong about him though, he just a made a terrible first impression out of desperation. Some brines need human fear just to survive.

[Herabrine] I heard about TLOT's little download to Stevie. The god of lust strikes again!

[Sweet Alex] Most of us are ace though, that makes you unique Alexis.

[Alexsezia] Yeah, guys are a hassle. For a long time Steve was the only other human I'd met and I just wasn't feeling it. He was made for his brine, literally.

[Sweet Alex] They're such a cute couple.

[Herabrine] When I first met GK I had the option to go after him, but it was more fun just to be his friend and wreck shit up with him. I'm not into relationships either.

[gem] -runs in and hides behind the pool table her wings are flapping it making it not hard to see-

[Herabrine] Whoah! What the fuck?

[Alexsezia] Yeah honestly...

[Alexis] - Um, who is this?

[gem] -she peaks out her wings still flapping- i'm gem.

[Herabrine] You're the accidental brine aren't you?

[Sweet Alex] Oh dear.

[gem] yea a notch mistook me for a brine because space angels also have glowing eyes just slightly different and made me a brine.

[Herabrine] See Alexis, this is what it looks like on our end. If your eyes shine, you're a target. Doesn't matter if you're not hurting anyone.

[Alexsezia] You didn't have wings last time I saw you.

[Alexis] - And those like my eventual brother in law don't help any?

[Herabrine] Well from what's Lie's told me; he was peaceful before the pretender NOTCH tried to delete him.

[gem] oh yea doc fixed my wings vin one of my guardians is trying to get me to stop flying around but I just want to keep flying I missed it

[Alexis] - That's the one I know, right?

[Herabrine] Yes, he's not the one who raised Cp and Stevie. That one died, quite recently.

[Sweet Alex] Why doesn't he want you to fly?

[Alexis] - Died? How is that possible?

[gem] because I have been flying for a while he wants me to rest.

[Herabrine] Because the one that made you tried to delete Stevie  and Cp's real father too. He was much more successful since Insanity had no interest in saving him.

[Sweet Alex] Well then you should rest a bit! Have some chicken, sit with us. We have lemonade too.

[Alexis] A worried expression crises her face-

[Alexsezia] Alexis.... I know a bit about this secondhand. Cp got to see him very briefly before he glitched out of existence.

[gem] -her wings rest back down and sits down at one of the booths- I would love some lemonade.

[Sam] Brings Gem a glass-

[gem] thank you sam -starts to drink the lemonade-

[Herabrine] Yeah he was a mess. He just moped in his cat form. Hiding in Lie's room for days.

[Alexis] - He did? And I'm guessing they haven't told Stevie

[Sweet Alex] What was wrong with your wings? Did you break one landing wrong?

[gem] oh the notch that attacked me ripped them off

[Herabrine] Why the fuck would they tell Stevie? He's just a little kid right now and he thinks Markus is his real dad. He'd be confused as hell and cry his eyes out.

[Sweet Alex] He what?! That's terrible! Alexis? Did you hear that? What the Nether....

[Alexis] - Exactly, that almost seems like something CP would do...

[Herabrine] You don't get it, do you? Cp loved Stevie when he was little this is like the old times before all the bad shit happened for him.

[Alexsezia] I saw the fear in his eyes when I told him what it would take to fix Stevie. He can't do it.

[Alexis] - I know I know, you told me

[Herabrine] Then don't expect him to break Stevie's hearts. -turns to Sweet Alex- He fucking what?

[gem] they didn't respawn when I did none of my injury's heal though respawn when that happened when I came back I was bleeding had extrea eyes and the notch was coming for me

[Sweet Alex] So some of these bits, are not... you?

[Alexis] - Sorry, it's just, I've never been able to see past the wrongs someone has done unless it's Stevie, and I'm beginning to wonder if it has to do with NOTCH...

[Alexsis] You think there's a bug in your programming that makes you prone to certain attitudes?

[Herabrine] That's shitty. I'd go talk to Doc about that right quickly.

[gem] I use to have three eyes now I have seven I think it might because my old eyes glowed so I needed new eyes to show I was a brine at that point.

[Alexis] - Well so far every Alex I've met here has been pretty forgiving... And I was made by the NOTCH that tried to remove CP...

[Sweet Alex] But they all glow. Do you want some of them removed?

[Alexsezia] That makes me suspicious. Has Doc ever given you a checkup?

[Alexis] - No

[gem] nah I see just fine if I have them or not I also have gown attached to the extra eyes

[Herabrine] Do it. I know they look ten shades of crazy but they know their shit.

[Sweet Alex] Smiles- as long as your comfortable. My friend GK taught me about dysphoria, I know it can be traumatic.

[Alexis] - Whatever it is can't be to strong can it? I mean, Endrea got past her coding, and she was designed to destroy CP

[Herabrine] Yeah but Cp also made a bargin with her to protect her at her most vulnerable state. He likes to wheel and deal with people. I take it he's never offered you anything you wanted?

[Alexsezia] Wait.... don't do that. If you have some kind of coding to make you respond certain ways to him, you might be a sleeper and not realize it.

[gem] I am just happy to have made so many friends on this server.

[Alexis] - No, he never tried to make a deal with me

[Herabrine] Fuuuuck. Alexsezia might be right. For all you know you're programmed to go berzerk if you make a deal with him, since it would be betraying your creator.

[Sweet Alex] You should come fly with me and Gk one day.

[Alexis] - Perhaps I should go see Doc then...

[gem] I would love to join you.

[Alexsezia] Do it. Better safe then sorry.

[Sweet Alex] Come visit me anytime. Well, not too early. It's hard to get him moving in the morning.

[Alexis] - Yeah, I just don't want to interrupt them if they are doing something...

[gem] I bet he seems like he likes to sleep.

[Alexsezia] That's impossible! They're always doing something. Even Cp can't handle the sheer amount of energy what they are naturally generates.

[Herabrine] Yeah, that's why he went crazy a while back and was chasing Doc all over the seed. He can't handle what they did to him without that goofy looking sword Honedge draining his energy.

[Alexis] - It drains his energy?

[Sweet Alex] Yeah he's silly like that, I guess being a giant dragon is tiring. Plus he's an older brine.

[Herabrine] Constantly, it's a ghost sword.

[gem] I would say the younger the dragon the more active they are

[Alexis] - Weird... Well would one of you at least be willing to come with me? Since I really don't know Doc that well...

[Sweet Alex] He's lived many many lifetimes.

[Herabrine] I'll go with you.

[Alexsezia] That works, I'll take Lie's horse and put it away.

[gem] see older and I have a tiny baby dragon that chills in my pond who is super hyperactive

[Sweet Alex] REALLY? That's so cute! I've never seen a water dragon except for the thing with the shell that Silver owns.

[Alexis] - Thanks

[Herabrine] Just take one of the skeleton horses outside. Doc is constantly moving them back and forth as need between here and the castle anyway

[gem] yea aqua like to spray people with water so I added glass in front of the path so they couldn't spray ben and aven.

[Sweet Alex] Oh no! That's so naughty! Oh Aven and BEN? Hows the baby doing?

[Alexis] - Got it, but first, let's finish eating

[Herabrine] pushes away the plate of bones in front of her. - Been done.

[gem] hyrule is super cute and happy.

[Sweet Alex] Awww. And the parents?

[gem] trying to get use to being parents still but are getting better.

[Sweet Alex] Well I'd love to babysit if they need help. I'm all about cute things.

[gem] it's pretty hard to see them even let have someone babysit ben is territorial and they are both still scared of water.

[Alexis] - Err, well...- Is finished herself but nervous about going to see Doc

[Herabrine] What's that face for? Doc is weird as fuck, but they're also ironclad on consent. They ain't gonna knock you down and sew a pair of wings to you, Gem asked for those.

[Sweet Alex] Well this is thier first kid.

[Alexis] - I know, I'm just... Nervous...

[Herabrine] Wiggles her stubby fingers- gonna go to the big spooky castle and visit the crazy doctor - oooooooo

[gem] I bet they are going to teach hyrule all about video games

[Alexis] - YOU ARE NOT HELPING!

[Sweet Alex] Being able to gamehop is a pretty special skill. Especially since one of them is a creepypasta that's had contact with Slender. They might need to hide.

[Herabrine] laughs- Don't be a weenie. And Deerheart asked Doc for what they got as well.

[Alexis] Sighs- Alright, let's get this over with

[gem] I will help protect hyrule ben and aven from slender

*Firebird pops into the bar in his other form

[Sweet Alex] I'm glad. I think we all need all the defenders we can get here.

[Herabrine] Shrieks-

[Sweet Alex] Who is that?

*Firebird freezes and steps back

[Firebird] Sorry

[gem] -sees firebird an scrambles down the ladder of the bar-

[Herabrine] Why did you shift back?

[Alexsezia] Hows your butt?

[Firebird] Comfort? And it hurts. *frowns a bit

[Herabrine] Snaps her fingers and spawns a healing potion before giving it a little slide down the bar. It comes to a stop near where Firebird is. - hmph.

[Alexsezia] Well, it's okay. You just startled us.

[gem] -is in the corner of the downstairs of the bar-

[Sweet Alex] Yells down the ladder - Gem? It's okay. He's not here to start anything.

[gem] but notch

*Firebird drinks the potion and sighs happily

[Sweet Alex] I know, but he was playing with us earlier and got hurt.

[gem] -doesn't leave her spot-

[Alexis] - Hera, should we make or escape?

[Sam] Looks at Firebird and then at the leftover chicken and thinks better of offering him any.

[Herabrine] Yeah come on, the skeles already have saddles, just grab one.

[Alexis] -Got it. See you guys later, we should hunt together more often- She heads for the door and the horse pen

[Firebird] Just a water, Sam. I'm not hungry.

[Sam] Gives him a glass of water with a little smile-

[Alexis] Climbs on one of the Skeleton horses and waits for Hera-

[Hera] Zips along about two blocks off the ground - Let's go!

[Alexis] Spurs the horse onwards and follows closely-
