Chapter 3: System Error

Summary:

A solution?

Notes:

There is one line of untranslated Minecraft galactic language, but it's not needed to understand anything, so translate it if you want but I won't.

This is also where the 'overuse of formatting' tag really comes in.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Dumb ways to die (death game edition)

 

7:43PM

<Grain> I can't believe I'm saying this, but you guys are our last resort

<Martyn> For what?

<Pearl> you trust us??

<Cleo> you're screwed in that case

<Grain> Void no, you just have the crazy ideas that sometinmes work

<Grain> And nothing else has worked

 

<Scar> i still wnnna know what happenes if i go in

<Scott> qanything but that

<Pearl> no

<Scar> ):

 

<Grain> Has anyone got ANY other ideas

<Cleo> Nah

<Scott> Unfortunately not

<Pearl> Complete blank

<Scar> we cuold treat it like we did the mooners cult?

<Martyn> ?

<Scar> like offerings and sacrafices 

<Scar> why do i get the feeling im being judged

<Grain> scar, i am currently standing on the reasons that will never go well

<Martyn> ???

 

<Martyn> What even happened guys?!?!

<Cleo> Wait you actually dont know?

<Pearl> Really??

<Martyn> Yeah! What issue is so prevalent you think asking us is a good idea?

<Grain> Oh, I got stuck on Hermitcraft season8. Yes the one that we lost access to.

<Martyn> oh geez what

<Scott> Yeah, theres a strange rift on season ten. Grian fell in it. He cant leave. Xisuma is suffering mentally.

 

<Martyn> Wait so let me get this straight

<Martyn> G’s somehow on an impossible server

<Martyn> And cant leave

<Pearl> Yup

<Martyn> And we're not in full panic mode

<Scott> Well, sorta but yep

<Martyn> And you've tried every method you can think of?

<Scar> yep

<Cleo> We've tried throwing a stick and a sheep in, neither made it to the other side

<Martyn>

<Martyn> Dude You've got an admin on both sides, surely it wouldn't take long to hack through

<Martyn> Y’know, instead of trying to brute force it

 

<Grain> ..why didn't we try that originally?

<Cleo> Idk, u were being dumb

 

<Scott> whos gonna tell x

<Scar> dibs not me

<Grain> He's not in this chat?

<Cleo> Hes not even in the life series, let alone a winner

<Grain> Oh

<Grain> Yeah no, one of you do it

<Martyn> I'm beginning to see how none of you realised the easier option

<Grain> …shut up

 

<Scott> Fine I'll do it

<Scar> yey

<Pearl> Thanks for your sacrifice

<Scott> BUT only if Grian give Xisuma admin privileges back on the hermpires chat

<Grain> O: how dare you he will kick me

<Scott> At this point if he does you deserve it

<Cleo> Hahhhhh

<Xisuma> Finee, not like I have any choice

<Smajor1995> ok SO

<Xisuma> ANYWAY

<Xisuma> The rift will be terraformed over and is not to be interacted with without me present.

<Smallishbeans> Covering it up and pretending it doesn't exist. Nice.

<Skizzleman> works everu time!

<Smallishbeans> HOW DOD YOU EVEN GET FISH FROM THAT

<joehillssays> Ok so I swear I've heard that somewhere beforr

 

<Xisuma> I'm fine with doing nothing if yall just don't do anything stupid 

Grian fell out of the world

<Mumbo> Oh come on!

<PearlescentMoon> HOW

Notes:

Thanks for reading!

The coding is an amalgamation of my limited Python and Minecraft commands knowledge and me trying to make it understandable for everyone.

And no, Grian never noticed that his name was also changed on the life series winners group chat.

Notes:

I don't know how or why the fic i wrote spitefully on whatsapp became this, but I'm not complaining.

Thanks to my beta EchoBreezeTheDuck, who didn't understand a word of what was going on with these block people but still gave the thumbs up lol.
