<Earthskaher> wait did anyone see Vanitas join? Message deleted
Notes:
The in-universe reason Namine isn't here yet is because she's busy in Radiant Garden, the IRL reason is I don't have a username for her yet.

Notes:
Sora and Riku were only gone for 20 minutes max, never underestimate the power of memes

Chapter Text
<Skateboards> riku's asleep, post memes
<Rhythm_game> ah yes, my time to shine
<SORA> do you need any more pictures?
<Rhythm_game> Absolutely
<SORA> okay! :D

<Skateboards> gladly

<darkness> Flood walked over my keyboard
<Dandelion> So they ARE just like cats
<darkness> shut up Ventus no they're not
<Dandelion> You can't deny it anymore I've literally heard them purr before
<darkness> have you heard about my fist in your face?
<Hotwheelz> in a videogame right?
<darkness> sureeeeeeeee
<Hotwheelz> that sounds believable
**********
Riku joined the game
<Riku> Something feels... off.
<Rhythm_game> no idea what you're talking about
<Riku> Kairi there's a giant picture of several ex-organization 13 members posed to look like the Among Us starting screen on the side of our house. Are you telling me you didn't notice that?
<Rhythm_game> :)
<SORA> that one's not even photoshopped
<Riku> Why.
<SORA> it was for the memes Riku, for the memes
<darkness> how do you even know what photoshop is?
<SORA> how do YOU know what photoshop is?
<darkness> no comment
**********
<Skateboards> i was AFK for 5 mins and my entire inventory is filled with sticks
<Seashells> Wow wonder who did that!
<Earthskaher> The floor of the tree house is no more
<Earthskaher> It's just cake?
<Rhythm_game> like as in someone placed cake on every block?
<Earthskaher> No as in the actual floor has been replaced with cake
<Rhythm_game> i am sad to admit that that was not me
<Earthskaher> Ven?
<Dandelion> Nope! Sorry, Terra!
<Dandelion> I'm helping Sora look for wolves!
<SORA> i have ten leads and a lot of bones
<SORA> EVERYONE deserves a dog!
<Seashells> PUPPIES!!!!!
<darkness> i don't need a dog
<Dandelion> Because you're a cat person?
<Hotwheelz> please don't start this again
**********
<Rainfell> It may have taken a while, but the waterfall is finally complete
<Dandelion> I want to use it as a slide
<Earthskaher> It's amazing, Aqua!
<Rhythm_game> holy shit that's a big build
<Rhythm_game> hold on i want to use it as a slide too
<Rainfell> Maybe wait until tomorrow? It's 1 AM we should really go to bed
<Dandelion> Yeah okay
Dandelion left the game
<Earthskaher> Oops did not mean to stay up this late
Earthskaher left the game
<Rhythm_game> sleep is for the weak
<Rhythm_game> but alright i'll go
Rhythm_game left the game
Rainfell left the game
Notes:
Wondering who turned the floor into cake? It was Aqua but she'll never tell.

SORA joined the game
Dandelion joined the game
Skateboards joined the game
Seashells joined the game
darkness joined the game
<Skateboards> how tf are ALL 5 of us awake at 3 AM
<SORA> oh boy 3 AM!
<Seashells> Nightmares
<Skateboards> yeah me too
<darkness> I don't sleep
<SORA> too much energy, can't sleep :/
<Dandelion> I'm just not tired
<darkness> press X to doubt
<Dandelion> Vanitas can you just not for one day?
<darkness> yes but I don't want to
<darkness> deal with it
<darkness> 😎
<Skateboards> seriously how does he keep doing that?
<darkness> 🐛
<Skateboards> alright then keep your secrets
<Seashells> So now that we're all on the server, wanna do something together?
<SORA> !! there's a big plains near the forest where Riku, Kairi & I have our house! let's build something!
<Seashells> I have a bunch of dye, we could get multicoloured sheep and go wild with shears?
<Dandelion> Wool fight!
<Skateboards> wool fight! wool fight! wool fight!
<darkness> I might actually leave the nether for this
<darkness> I'm going to win of course
<Dandelion> Well we'll see about that
<darkness> you're on Venty-wenty
**********
<Hotwheelz> so I just walked into a plains biome
<Hotwheelz> and
<Hotwheelz> there is wool EVERYWHERE
<Riku> ???
<Rhythm_game> what?
<Hotwheelz> it looks like a battlefield
<Hotwheelz> of multicoloured blocks
<Rhythm_game> i need to see this
<Rhythm_game> omg
<Rhythm_game> Riku come look
<Riku> Yep, that certainly is a battlefield of wool blocks.
<Rhythm_game> why do the red and green remind me of that snake that tries to eat itself
<Riku> Ouroboros?
<Rhythm_game> yeah that
<Earthskaher> There's so many blue blocks
<Earthskaher> Orange and pink too
<Rhythm_game> i think that's magenta actually
<Hotwheelz> when would anyone have had the time to do this?
<SORA> definitely not at 3 AM
<Riku> .......
<Rhythm_game> .......
<Skateboards> correction it was 3:30 AM because we needed time to collect the wool first
<Hotwheelz> and WHY were you awake at that time?
<Seashells> Why not?
<Rainfell> Kairi, didn't you say sleep was for the weak?
<Rhythm_game> not for Sora
<SORA> what? why??
<Riku> Because you overwork yourself and we worry about you.
<SORA> oh
<SORA> i'm fine! i promise!
<Riku> ................
<Rhythm_game> ................
darkness whispers to you: okay, they do NOT believe you
you whisper to darkness: let me live in denial
<Earthskaher> Are we just going to leave the plains like this?
<Skateboards> i'm not cleaning it up
<Earthskaher> Okay then
**********
Brushpaint joined the game
<Rhythm_game> !!!
<Seashells> Namine!
<Brushpaint> This is the server I'm supposed to be in right?
<Seashells> Yeah! Welcome!
<Brushpaint> Oh, that's good!
<Rhythm_game> stay at spawn for a moment i'm coming to you with stuff
<Brushpaint> Shouldn't I get things myself?
<Rhythm_game> nah we've got so much already
<Rhythm_game> and it's not fair for you to start from scratch when everyone else has so much more
<Brushpaint> Oh, okay
<Brushpaint> Are you sure?
<Rhythm_game> 110%
<Brushpaint> Thank you!
<Rhythm_game> np
**********
555x88x99x88 joined the game
<555x88x99x88> That's a nice looking spawn
<555x88x99x88> Would be a shame if something were to
<555x88x99x88> happen
<555x88x99x88> to it

<Earthskaher> I do not have anymore torches
<Earthskaher> Help

<Earthskaher> Pickaxe broke
<Earthskaher> I can't see anything
<darkness> embrace the darkness
<Earthskaher> I think I'm walking into a wall
<darkness> turn the brightness up then idiot
<Earthskaher> That didn't help much
<Dandelion> I'll come find you!
<Rainfell> Terra can you press F3 and tell us which coörds you're at?
<Rainfell> Don't go alone, Ven!
<Dandelion> I'll be fine
<Rainfell> Did you remember to bring more torches?
<Dandelion> Oops
<darkness> why are you all like this
<Earthskaher> I have clicked F3
<Earthskaher> I am seeing a lot of text
<Earthskaher> Wait this might be it
<Earthskaher> -376 12 450?
<Dandelion> Should we just go there and mine down?
<darkness> do you want to fall into lava?
<Dandelion> Keepinventory is on
<darkness> coward
<Rainfell> Alright let's ignore that, Terra we're heading to you now
<Earthskaher> Thank
**********
SORA fell from a high place
<SORA> huh?
<SORA> what happened?
<Rhythm_game> you fell from a high place
<Riku> Where did you fall?
<SORA> spawn
<SORA> why are there just a bunch of deep 1 block holes here?
<Rhythm_game> how tf
<Riku> That's weird.
<Riku> Weren't we all busy yesterday? Who made this?
<Rhythm_game> we should probably cover it up
<Rhythm_game> like i'm all for pranks but spawn is kinda off-limits
<SORA> I've got it! i still have leftover wool!
<Rhythm_game> how much exactly?
<SORA> like 5 stacks
<Riku> That's... A lot.
<Rhythm_game> next time you're having a wool fight i want in
<SORA> of course!
<Riku> Is it me or does the house look different?
<Rhythm_game> different how?
<Riku> I swear my room was 1 block to the right.
<Rhythm_game> oh yeah that was Roxas
<Riku> Of course it was.
<SORA> he did that days ago lol
<Riku> I'm just going to leave it like this.
<Riku> Serious dedication though, my chest storage is completely the same as I left it.
<Rhythm_game> that is impressive
<SORA> :0
<SORA> i just remembered Namine doesn't have a dog yet!
<SORA> i'm gonna look for more wolves!
<SORA> bye! :D
**********
<Skateboards> Axel the house is on fire
<Skateboards> again
<Hotwheelz> not my fault this time i'm way out on the water
<Skateboards> i set the house on fire
<Skateboards> i just wanted to let you know
<Seashells> Why does this always happen?
<Hotwheelz> just to clarify, you mean the Minecraft house and not the one we are currently living in?
<Skateboards> yeah
<Skateboards> what do you take me for?
<Hotwheelz> just checking
<Seashells> Was it an accident?
<Skateboards> the only house i would set on fire on purpose is riku's
<Hotwheelz> please don't Kairi would absolutely destroy us in a prank war
<Seashells> Do you have no faith in us Axel?
<Hotwheelz> have you met Kairi?
<Seashells> Fair point
<Skateboards> i put the fire out
<Skateboards> oops now it's on again
<Seashells> Maybe we shouldn't hold flint and steel while in the house anymore
**********
<Brushpaint> Does anyone know why all these trees have an item frame with an ender eye on them?
<darkness> they're watching you
<Riku> Where?
<Brushpaint> Near spawn
<Rhythm_game> okay fess up who's messing with spawn?
<Hotwheelz> not me
<Skateboards> not me
<Seashells> Not me
<Earthskaher> ???
<Rainfell> Pranks can be funny but we should still be mindful of where and when
<Dandelion> Not me!
<SORA> not me either!
<Dandelion> Vanitas?
<darkness> i rarely leave the nether
<darkness> so no it wasn't me
<Rhythm_game> well then
<Rhythm_game> Riku you're the admin
<Riku> I'm going to ask Chip and Dale to check the server.
<Riku> See if anyone other than us has access.
Riku left the game
<Rhythm_game> while he's doing that let's get all these eyes off of the trees
<Brushpaint> Please they're starting to creep me out
**********

Riku joined the game
<SORA> Riku!!! you're back!!
<Rhythm_game> what did Chip & Dale say?
<Riku> Okay so the server is mostly fine
<Hotwheelz> 'mostly'?
<Riku> They can't see any extra players but there seems to some sort of error message?
<Riku> Some bits of code can't be accessed.
<Hotwheelz> spooky
<Rainfell> Should we still be playing then?
<Riku> They said it was fine to keep going.
<Riku> They'll be keeping an eye on things in case anything changes.
<Dandelion> That's good.
<Dandelion> Also who gave all my chickens weird names?
<darkness> hahahahaha
<Dandelion> Vanitas
<Dandelion> Why
<Seashells> It wasn't just him lol
<Seashells> Sir Cluckington the third isn't a weird name how dare you
<Hotwheelz> where are Sir Cluckington the first and second?
<darkness> idk they escaped while we were naming them
<Dandelion> What is a 'dinnerbone'? And why is this chicken upside down?
<Rhythm_game> that's just a Minecraft thing
<Earthskaher> I'm assuming the one named 'haha, suck it loser' was done by Vanitas?
<darkness> yeah lol
<Dandelion> I leave for 5 minutes and this happens
<darkness> 😈
<Seashells> Roxas isn't on so I'll say it for him, how are you doing that?
<darkness> i will literally never tell any of you
**********
Meanwhile, on another Minecraft server...
<Struggle_Champion> i'm just saying, i could totally kick Seifer's ass
Skateboards joined the game
<Bitbyte> Roxas!
<Owlette> Roxas!
<Struggle_Champion> Welcome Roxas, to the greatest Minecraft server in the history of Minecraft servers!
<Skateboards> Hayner there are creeper holes everywhere
<Struggle_Champion> Welcome Roxas, to the Minecraft server in the history of Minecraft servers!
<Skateboards> this doesn't even look like Minecraft anymore
<Skateboards> what did you do to spawn?
<Bitbyte> Hayner's failed TNT machine
<Owlette> we tried to cover it up
<Skateboards> with every block in existance?
<Bitbyte> we WERE going to be serious about it until we realized this was way funnier
<Skateboards> well you're not wrong
<Struggle_Champion> let's stop talking about my TNT machine that definitely did not fail
<Struggle_Champion> hey Roxas how's the other server?
<Skateboards> someone might be messing with us
<Owlette> huh?
<Bitbyte> ???
<Skateboards> there are deep 1 block holes around spawn (Sora filled them up with wool) and a bunch of ender eyes stuck to trees
<Struggle_Champion> wtf
<Skateboards> and it couldn't be any of us because no one wishes to incur the wrath of Kairi
<Owlette> oooooh another mystery!
<Bitbyte> if you need any detective work let me know
<Struggle_Champion> let's invade the server and get this mystery solved!
<Skateboards> you know what? sure
<Skateboards> just gotta bully riku into adding you three
<Skateboards> give me a minute
**********
Skateboards joined the game
<Skateboards> riku you should add Hayner, Pence and Olette
<Riku> I? Okay?
<Rainfell> Is it safe to add more people when someone might be hacking the server?
<Skateboards> they want to help
<Skateboards> Pence knows computers
<Riku> I'll check it with Chip and Dale but it's probably fine?
<Rhythm_game> it's a Minecraft server not super top secret information
<Rhythm_game> just don't use the same passwords for everything
<Riku> And don't leave sensitive information where it can easily be found.
<darkness> damn i was gonna leave my evil plan in a word document
<Dandelion> You don't have an evil plan you just sculk around the castle like an angry cat
<Earthskaher> And break into the kitchen to steal snacks
<Rainfell> Please stop destroying the windows
<Rainfell> We don't lock the door to the kitchen and even if we did you have a keyblade
<darkness> it's funnier this way
<Hotwheelz> to get us back on topic, do we ever do anything that isn't rushing headfirst into things with no plan?
<Hotwheelz> in case we actually get hacked that person can just go for Hayner or Olette next
<SORA> wait what about Pence?
<Hotwheelz> you think he would ever have a computer that wasn't secured to the max?
<SORA> he probably helped Hayner and Olette with theirs
<Skateboards> charge into battle first, ask questions never
<Riku> The server is being monitored more closely now, it's fine.
<Skateboards> yessssssssssss
Struggle_Champion joined the game
Bitbyte joined the game
Owlette joined the game
<Seashells> Hi! Welcome to the server!
<SORA> :D hello!

Chapter Text
<Rhythm_game> so anyway who's ready for the Minecraft grindfest
<Owlette> ??
<Rhythm_game> enchantments + netherite
<Rhythm_game> i have a sword and an inventory full of stone pickaxes
<Rhythm_game> i'm not leaving the nether until i have enough levels and ancient debris
<darkness> i already have full netherite
<Rhythm_game> of course you do
<Skateboards> do you ever even log out?
<darkness> sometimes yeah
<Dandelion> Do you sleep at all?
<darkness> lmao no
<Rainfell> That doesn't sound healthy...
<darkness> i don't need sleep it disappoints me
<Dandelion> I worry about you
<darkness> HA
<darkness> seriously though i don't need to sleep as much as you all do
<darkness> i'm LITERALLY made of Darkness
<darkness> and you don't get to talk to me about sleeping Ventus
<Skateboards> one day i will find out how you keep doing stuff like that and it will be glorious
<Earthskaher> Ven, what does he mean by that?
<Dandelion> Nothing haha!
<Dandelion> Let's talk about something else now
<Dandelion> Hey Aqua, how was your trip to Radiant Garden?
<Rainfell> We're going to talk about this later
<Rainfell> But it was nice! The Restoration Committee has been working very hard to get everything back to its former glory
<Rhythm_game> hey i was there too!
<Rhythm_game> it was great i told my grandma i can hit people over the head with a giant key
<Seashells> I can do that too!
<Skateboards> what a coincidence, so can i!
<Struggle_Champion> any chance i can get one of those? i want to scare the shit out of Seifer
<Owlette> valid
<Riku> I don't think Yen Sid would be happy if we gave a keyblade to anyone who wanted one.
<Skateboards> well that sounds like a him problem
**********
<SORA> i found a village!
<SORA> how do you tame cats?
<Hotwheelz> raw fish
<SORA> there's a lot of salmon in the water will that work?
<Hotwheelz> yeah
<Rhythm_game> awesome i can just trade for the rest of my enchantments
<Rhythm_game> the nether is boring
<darkness> HEY
<Rhythm_game> i said what i said
<Seashells> The portals remind me a bit of dark corridors actually
<Seashells> They're both purpely
<Skateboards> wait you're right
<Hotwheelz> the nether is just the Realm of Darkness but red
<Riku> I don't think it has beaches though?
<darkness> lava lakes
<darkness> wait how do any of you know what the Realm of Darkness looks like?
<SORA> me and Riku got stuck there once
<SORA> after fighting Xemnas
<Earthskaher> How did you get out?
<Riku> I found a bottle with a message from Kairi.
<Riku> It somehow opened the door back home.
<Rhythm_game> wait a minute
<Rhythm_game> i send that bottle from the shore of Destiny islands
<Rhythm_game> how did it get in the Realm of Darkness?
<SORA> uuuuuuuuuuuh
<Riku> Uuuuuuuuuuuh.
<Hotwheelz> Do Not tell me those two are connected
<Riku> I might be glad we didn't end up using that raft.
<Rhythm_game> imagine all three of us just sailing into the Realm of Darkness
<Rainfell> Atleast you wouldn't have been alone
<Rainfell> And we would've probably ran into each other at some point
<Earthskaher> That still sounds terrifying
<Skateboards> i
<Skateboards> i don't think i'd even exist if that had happened
<Seashells> Me neither
<Brushpaint> Or me
<Hotwheelz> and i would still be a Nobody
<Rhythm_game> this sounds like a great topic to brush aside and never think about again
<Skateboards> yeah...
<SORA> okay!
<Hotwheelz> i love not thinking about my problems
<Dandelion> Sooooooo
<Dandelion> Can I get some help finding the chickens that Xion and Vanitas let out?
<Seashells> I'll help, it was partially my fault anyways
<darkness> i regret nothing
<Dandelion> That really doesn't surprise me
<SORA> i can help after i bring the cats home!
<Dandelion> :D
<SORA> :D
<darkness> 💀

<Hotwheelz> guess who just got a map to one of those woodland mansions?
<Rhythm_game> !!
<Seashells> Roadtrip! Roadtrip!
<Skateboards> roadtrip! roadtrip!
<SORA> ROADTRIP
<Dandelion> Are we all going together?
<Earthskaher> Sure!
<darkness> i'm not
<Hotwheelz> what if we burn it down after looting it?
<darkness> not a bad offer
<darkness> fine i'll come with
<Skateboards> we're gonna need flint & steel anyways
<Skateboards> i'm not walking 10K blocks in the overworld
<Rhythm_game> ah yes time to monopolize the nether roof
<Rainfell> Do we all have strong enough armor and weapons?
<Bitbyte> definitely
<Owlette> if not, someone probably has enough for others to borrow
<Riku> Kairi went a bit wild in the nether so yes absolutely.
<Rhythm_game> once you get into a rhythm time goes by pretty fast
<Hotwheelz> everyone online?
<Hotwheelz> get to the big nether portal in about 15 mins and we'll go
<SORA> OKAY
<Skateboards> caps lock is stuck again isn't it
<SORA> YEAH
<SORA> I DON'T KNOW COMPUTERS
<Riku> Hold on, I'll come help once I have all our supplies ready.
<Rainfell> I have about 7 stacks of cooked fish if anyone needs more food
<Seashells> How
<Rainfell> Started fishing, lost track of time
<Rhythm_game> yeah that's me with ancient debris
<darkness> she's not kidding it's like a mole went through one whole part of the nether
<Rhythm_game> don't call me a mole
<Brushpaint> Um, I only have iron armor, is that good enough?
<Rhythm_game> you can borrow stuff from me or just keep it
<Rhythm_game> i may have gone a little overboard
<Riku> Understatement of the century.
<Rhythm_game> hush
<Struggle_Champion> i've been waiting at the portal where is everyone
<Earthskaher> We're almost there
<SORA> i see the portal!
<Seashells> Give us a minute, our house is not organized
<Seashells> Still need to get our inventories right
<darkness> i'm already in the nether
<Skateboards> yeah no shit
<darkness> 🙃
<Skateboards> i am so normal and calm about this
**********
<Skateboards> holy shit this is so boring
<Skateboards> we've been walking for 10 mins with absolutely nothing happening
<darkness> weak
<Seashells> I have consumed more candy on this walk than I have in one whole week
<Rainfell> That is definitely not healthy
<Hotwheelz> the struggle between being a Responsible Adult and just saying 'mood'
<Hotwheelz> i once ate like 3 bags of marshmellows in one sitting
<Rhythm_game> maybe they shouldn't make candy so tasty
<Rhythm_game> ever thought about that?
<Riku> This is why I hide it on the top shelf.
<Riku> Also Sora please stop trying to climb those shelves before you fall and get hurt.
<SORA> :(
<SORA> i have healing magic
<SORA> i'll be fine!
<Dandelion> I want Mcdonalds
<Earthskaher> You've never been there before?
<Struggle_Champion> Mcdonalds!
<Bitbyte> Mcdonalds!
<Owlette> Mcdonalds!
<Skateboards> Mcdonalds!
<Seashells> Mcdonalds!
<SORA> Mcdonalds!
<Skateboards> Axel what is a Mcdonalds?
<Hotwheelz> fastfood restaurant
<darkness> take me to Taco bell
<Seashells> Axel what is a Taco bell?
<Hotwheelz> taco restaurant
<Dandelion> Vanitas do you just live to be contrary?
<darkness> honestly yeah
<Dandelion> Literally why
<darkness> messing with people is funny
<darkness> especially you because you puff up like an angry bird every single time
<darkness> also i'm darkness or whatever
<darkness> gotta stick to the brand
<Dandelion> I Do Not Do That
<darkness> do too
<Dandelion> Do not
<darkness> do too
<Rainfell> Stop
**********
<Rhythm_game> are we there yet?
<Hotwheelz> no
**********
<Skateboards> are we there yet?
<Hotwheelz> no
**********
<Seashells> Are we there yet?
<Hotwheelz> do you want me to turn this car around?
**********
<Hotwheelz> i think we're there
<Struggle_Champion> finally
<darkness> let's burn this place to the ground!
<Riku> Loot first. Then fire.
<Rhythm_game> fire safety rules: do not walk into the fire
<Hotwheelz> uh oh we went past it
<Skateboards> thanks i hate it
Notes:
Mcdonalds is a universal constant.
Chapter 9: This is an on fire Woodland Mansion, could be a nursery
Chapter Text
<Hotwheelz> everyone rejoice we actually found it this time!
<Skateboards> are you sure?
<Hotwheelz> i'm looking at it right now
<Rhythm_game> finally
<Rhythm_game> thank the giant heart in the sky
<Riku> 'Giant heart in the sky'.
<Rhythm_game> am i wrong?
<Riku> .......
<darkness> if you don't hurry up i'm going to take all the loot for myself
<Rhythm_game> i'll fight you for it
<Skateboards> i'll fight both of you AND riku for it
<Riku> I don't? Want to fight?
<Riku> Outside of sparring that is.
<Seashells> While you four are busy doing that me, Sora and Namine already went inside the mansion
<Struggle_Champion> alright
<Struggle_Champion> operation take everything you can get your hands on is a go
<Bitbyte> the illagers when they see 14 people storming their house be like:
<Bitbyte> 😶
<Owlette> OUR house now
<darkness> do you normally burn your own house down?
<Seashells> Axel does
<Hotwheelz> it was ONE time
<Hotwheelz> the fire didn't even get past the kitchen
<Rhythm_game> like your actual house? not the Minecraft one?
<Skateboards> he set the water on fire
<Owlette> how tf
<Seashells> Don't worry, we've banned him from the kitchen
<Dandelion> Vanitas YOU'VE set our kitchen on fire too
<darkness> that was on purpose
<Rainfell> That's a lie
<Earthskaher> Wait Ven, where did you go?
<Dandelion> Look up Terra
<Earthskaher> How did you get all the way on top?
<Dandelion> Dirt tower
<Rainfell> Are we splitting up?
<Riku> Seems like it.
**********
<SORA> :O!!! there's a wool statue of a cat in this room!
<Brushpaint> Awwwwww
<Seashells> Take screenshots and collect the wool
<Seashells> We'll rebuild it back at spawn!
<SORA> how do you take screenshots???
<Brushpaint> I
<Brushpaint> Don't know
<Brushpaint> Sorry I'm not very good with computers yet :(
<Seashells> That's fine i'll do it
<Seashells> I actually paid attention when Pence explained everything
<Skateboards> i feel targeted
<Seashells> :)
**********
<Owlette> i continue to be disappointed by the loot in these mansions
<Rhythm_game> right?
<Rhythm_game> the totems are cool i guess but it's mostly just stuff you can easily get somewhere else
<Rhythm_game> it's a giant structure why does it have so few chests?
<darkness> i found a storage room
<darkness> guess what's inside?
<darkness> NOTHING
<darkness> just empty chests
<darkness> i'm going to set this room on fire first
<Skateboards> why is there a music disc named '13'
<Hotwheelz> uh oh
<Seashells> Why does it sound familiar?
<Seashells> Wait is this the one Demyx played over the intercom that one time?
<Hotwheelz> i KNEW i'd heard it somewhere before!
<Skateboards> rip intercom
<Skateboards> you are not missed
<Rhythm_game> you guys had an intercom????
<Hotwheelz> Xemnas used it to wax poetic about Kindgom Hearts
<Hotwheelz> Every. Single. Day.
<Hotwheelz> i have his entire speech memorized
<Skateboards> saix broke it after Demyx refused to stop the music for the twelfth time
<Skateboards> and it was never repaired
<Seashells> No one was upset with this outcome
<Seashells> Except maybe Xemnas
<Rhythm_game> eh who cares about that guy?
**********
<Dandelion> Oh!
<Dandelion> I think I found a secret room!
<SORA> oooooooooh secrets!
<Dandelion> .........
<Dandelion> It's just a bunch of x's...
<Rainfell> Oh
<Earthskaher> That is
<Earthskaher> Something
<Hotwheelz> ominous
<Rhythm_game> if this is foreshadowing i will riot
<darkness> is it time to burn everything down?
<Hotwheelz> we have all the loot so yes go wild
<darkness> excellent
**********
<Seashells> It took several hours
<Seashells> But the cat has been completely rebuild!
<SORA> yay! :D
<Brushpaint> :D

Dandelion joined the game
darkness joined the game
<Dandelion> Oh
<Dandelion> I guess we're the only two awake?
<darkness> it's 3 am who tf else would be? idiot
<Dandelion> Sora, Roxas and Xion are sometimes!
<Dandelion> And don't call me an idiot...
<darkness> i'll call you whatever i want
<darkness> also go the fuck to bed!
<Dandelion> You're not sleeping either, though
<darkness> i already told you i don't need as much sleep as the rest of you
<darkness> and it's kind of hard to sleep when SOMEONE is broadcasting his entire range of emotions at max level
<Dandelion> What?
<darkness> what?
<Dandelion> You can feel my emotions?
<darkness> i didn't say it was you
<Dandelion> You implied it
<darkness> it could've been Sora or something
<darkness> that one connects hearts like he's playing bingo
<Dandelion> But you meant me?
<darkness> fuck
<darkness> fine
<darkness> yes i was talking about you
<Dandelion> Have you been able to do this the whole time?
<darkness> yeah? is this news to you?
<Dandelion> Yes???
<Dandelion> How do you handle feeling two people's emotions at all times?
<darkness> 1. you get used to it
<darkness> 2. it's actually only a problem when you're feeling a lot of big emotions in a row
<darkness> 3. i can push it into an unversed if i really want too
<darkness> wait
<darkness> ooooooooooooooooooooooh
<darkness> you can't feel mine can you?
<Dandelion> Uh, no
<Dandelion> Was I supposed to?
<darkness> welp
<darkness> i thought you were just being an asshole but apparently not
<Dandelion> Being an asshole about what?
<darkness> ahaha nothing
<Dandelion> Vanitas
<darkness> i'm going to bed now
<Dandelion> VANITAS
<darkness> bye Ventus
darkness left the game

SORA joined the game
Skateboards joined the game
<SORA> 4 am buddies!!!
<Skateboards> why does the server feel like repressed emotions and failed attempts at self reflection?
<SORA> huh?
<Skateboards> nevermind
<Skateboards> you are awake
<Skateboards> why?
<SORA> brain loud
<SORA> also Yen Sid was upset at me again
<SORA> and i think i'm still a little angry over it?
<Skateboards> literally why
<Skateboards> i was with you on todays 'heartless clean-up' mission
<Skateboards> we did everything exactly as we were supposed too
<SORA> we didn't immediately come back
<SORA> i guess he didn't like that?
<SORA> he kinda sounds like that teacher that always made me fall asleep in class
<SORA> i definitely didn't hear half of what he said
<Skateboards> i'm so glad Axel isn't making me go to school
<Skateboards> fuck yen sid even the Org let me stay out as long as i wanted
<Skateboards> also can you allow yourself to be angry at someone that isn't trying to kill you for once?
<SORA> what if Rage form activates?
<Skateboards> i was gonna say 'tear up the old man's curtains' but no you're right
<Skateboards> he'd lose his shit if YOU showed any sign of Darkness
<SORA> i think he only likes Riku because he's always polite to him
<SORA> should've met him at 15
<SORA> he thought me lots of swear words :D
<Skateboards> okay i don't like riku
<Skateboards> but if he was ever in the room when yen sid decides to go off on you again? he would No Longer be polite
<SORA> yeah that's true
<SORA> now you
<SORA> why are YOU awake?
<Skateboards> me, Xion and Namine are supposed to go to Radiant Garden for some stuff tomorrow
<Skateboards> i know ansem lives there
<Skateboards> i don't want to see him
<SORA> oh
<SORA> can't you just avoid him?
<Skateboards> no he wants to be around to check the replica's are working correctly
<Skateboards> i'm going to spent hours trying not to hit him with my keyblades
<Skateboards> Ienzo's also there so atleast i'm not alone with Him
<SORA> want to get off Minecraft and watch mindless cartoons with me?
<SORA> so you don't have to think about it?
<SORA> yen sid wants me, Riku and Kairi (friends :D) on a mission tomorrow so i can't come with you :(
<Skateboards> you know what? absolutely do you have popcorn?

<Rhythm_game> 5 am aka why are we all awake at too early o'clock?
<Seashells> I honestly have no idea
<Seashells> I just woke up
<Brushpaint> You can't fall back asleep?
<Seashells> I've been laying here for an hour
<Seashells> So now it's Minecraft time
<Rhythm_game> oof
<Rhythm_game> it's storming over here
<Rhythm_game> i keep expecting some rando to walk in and go:
<Rhythm_game> it's kidnap Kairi time again!
<Seashells> Why are you always their target?
<Rhythm_game> they usually want Sora or Riku
<Rhythm_game> i'm the bait
<Brushpaint> That doesn't sound like a very nice thing to do
<Seashells> Next time someone tries you should hit them over the head with your keyblade
<Seashells> That's what Axel told me to do if someone ever tried to grab me
<Rhythm_game> blunt force trauma my beloved
<Seashells> I understood all those words separately
<Rhythm_game> hey Namine you've been kind of quiet are you okay?
<Brushpaint> Can I say no?
<Rhythm_game> yes?
<Brushpaint> Then the answer is no
<Brushpaint> Tomorrow is making me nervous
<Seashells> Oh shit yeah that thing at Radiant Garden
<Seashells> With Ansem the definitely-not-wise
<Seashells> Also don't tell Axel anything he still thinks I don't know any swear words
<Seashells> I want to surprise him
<Seashells> :)
<Brushpaint> That smiley is so ominous
<Rhythm_game> isn't that the dude that literally told you you didn't have the right to exist?
<Brushpaint> He also said that to Roxas
<Rhythm_game> bets on how long it takes before the man pisses Roxas off tomorrow?
<Brushpaint> Like an hour?
<Seashells> Nah
<Seashells> More like half an hour
<Rhythm_game> i was gonna say 10 mins
<Brushpaint> Do you have no faith in him?
<Rhythm_game> lmao no
**********
Struggle_Champion joined the game
Bitbyte joined the game
Owlette joined the game
<Struggle_Champion> giant magic key wielders are all gone it's time for some detectiving
<Struggle_Champion> Pence have you got anything?
<Bitbyte> if anyone's hacking the server they're good at covering their tracks
<Bitbyte> i can't find anything in the code
<Owlette> do you think the server is actually being hacked?
<Bitbyte> if not then someone was lying about not being the culprit
<Owlette> i hope not
<Owlette> that's not a fun joke
<Struggle_Champion> that Vanitas dude is a bit of a dick
<Struggle_Champion> but i think he would announce anything he did to the whole server instead of hiding it
<Struggle_Champion> and i can't think of anyone else who would think this was funny
<Owlette> Axel?
<Bitbyte> nah he's a good guy now
<Owlette> so is there nothing we can do?
<Owlette> do we just have to wait until the potential hacker shows up again?
<Bitbyte> yep
<Struggle_Champion> well that sucks
<Struggle_Champion> let's go get some ice cream
<Bitbyte> 🍦
<Owlette> i think i understand Roxas a little better now
**********
<Hotwheelz> from the man who brought you the amazing roadtrip to the Woodland Mansion
<Hotwheelz> i now present to you
<Hotwheelz> enough ender eyes to get to the end portal
<Hotwheelz> that i definitely got myself and didn't beg Isa to do on my account
<Rhythm_game> sure you did
<Hotwheelz> i am a very hard worker
<Skateboards> i think the only person who worked less than you was Demyx
<Seashells> You just wanted to sleep in every time we had a day off
<Hotwheelz> i need my beauty sleep
<Skateboards> sure you do
<darkness> i'm not going on another roadtrip unless i get to burn things again
<Rhythm_game> what you're gonna set the dragon on fire?
<darkness> yes
<Rhythm_game> good luck with that
<Bitbyte> wait the end means end cities
<Bitbyte> shulker boxes my beloved
<Struggle_Champion> unlimited inventory space? sign me up!
<Owlette> it's not actually unlimited
<Struggle_Champion> let me have this
<SORA> wait can you put shulker boxes in shulker boxes?
<Riku> I don't think so?
<SORA> awwwww :(
<Dandelion> Can we get Mcdonalds again?
<Earthskaher> Ven please
<Rainfell> Olive Garden
<Earthskaher> Aqua!
<Riku> Denny's?
<Rhythm_game> no one goes to Denny's you just end up there at 3 am and probably fight someone
<darkness> i want to put unholy amounts of mayonaise on a taco and throw it at people
<Earthskaher> How about No?
<Rhythm_game> no no he's got a point
<Riku> Kairi
<Rhythm_game> Riku
<SORA> Sora!
<Hotwheelz> are we going to the end or not?
<Brushpaint> I'd like to!
<Seashells> If Namine is going then so will I
<Dandelion> I want the wings!
<Riku> Elytra?
<Dandelion> Yeah those!
<SORA> another roadtrip!
<SORA> :D
<Skateboards> time to beat up a dragon
**********
<Riku> Can we not try to go through the portal all at once?
<Riku> The spawing platform is in the sky and I almost got pushed off.
<Rhythm_game> no we travel as a pack
<Struggle_Champion> we have keepinventory and beds right outside the portal
<Skateboards> i pushed you off on purpose
<Riku> Okay then.
<Owlette> why is the dragon not perching?
<Hotwheelz> plan B:
<Hotwheelz> tower up to the dragon and hope you get a hit
<Riku> That's a terrible idea and why is it actually working?
<Dandelion> Vanitas how are you doing that?
<darkness> it's not my fault you have skill issues
<Seashells> Oh look we won
<Brushpaint> \(^o^)/
<Rainfell> It's getting a bit late
<Rainfell> We should go to bed and continue tomorrow
<Rhythm_game> i would say no but i actually do feel tired
<Earthskaher> Goodnight everyone!

555x88x99x88 joined the game
<555x88x99x88> well that didn't go according to plan
Chapter 11: Am I the only one that thinks Endermites kind of look like Unversed?
Chapter Text
<Hotwheelz> soooooooo
<Hotwheelz> i heard whoever was messing with the server got banned?
<Bitbyte> yep!
<Riku> The security has been increased as well.
<Rainfell> That's good, I was honestly a bit worried
<Rhythm_game> speaking of, how the fuck did Vanitas stop them from leaving?
<darkness> if Sora can go into a computer to visit Tron then i can do it too
<Riku> But that's a special computer?
<darkness> body = Darkness = easier way of getting into code
<Rhythm_game> that makes no sense
<darkness> it does to me
<Rainfell> Please don't break that computer
<darkness> i'll try
SORA joined the game
<SORA> hello!!!
Skateboards joined the game
Dandelion joined the game
<Seashells> You three are late
<Skateboards> yeah we got lost
<Hotwheelz> you what?
<Rainfell> Are you all safely back at home?
<Skateboards> no i took my laptop with me on a mission
<Skateboards> yes we're all home
<Skateboards> Axel you didn't give a shit if i was late back in the org
<Hotwheelz> i didn't have a heart to give a shit with!
<Hotwheelz> also i'm kind of supposed to be responsible for you and Xion
<Hotwheelz> probably
<Rainfell> Reassuring
<Hotwheelz> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<Seashells> We're fine don't worry
<Seashells> The only house we frequently set on fire is our Minecraft house
<Rhythm_game> 'frequently'
<Skateboards> maybe Minecraft houses shouldn't be so flammable
<darkness> anything is flammable if you try hard enough
<Dandelion> That worries me
<darkness> HA
<Earthskaher> Is this also why you claimed you 'needed' to steal cookies before I was done baking, Ven?
<Dandelion> Perhaps
<darkness> come to the Light side they have cookies apparently
<Dandelion> They'd be cold if we waited too long
<Dandelion> Do we really need five batches of cookies anyway?
<SORA> yes
<Rhythm_game> yes
<Riku> What those two mean is we wouldn't be opposed if you had some 'leftover' cookies.
<Seashells> Neither would we
<Brushpaint> I second that
<Skateboards> i third that
<Hotwheelz> i fourth that
<darkness> i will steal them
<Bitbyte> Hayner and Olette are still doing homework so i will say this for them (and also me)
<Bitbyte> we humbly request cookies
<Earthskaher> Well okay then
**********
<Stuggle_Champion> so now that everyone's here
<Stuggle_Champion> it is time for End cities!
<Dandelion> Elytra!
<Bitbyte> shulker boxes!
<Hotwheelz> so are we testing our luck with enderpearls or are we building bridges?
<Riku> Bridges.
<darkness> enderpearls i am not a coward
<Rhythm_game> say hello to the void
<darkness> the void Fears me
<Rhythm_game> oh wow he actually did it
<darkness> i see no end cities
<Skateboards> roadtrip part 3
<Seashells> Now with more enderman!
<Hotwheelz> is now a good time to say that i've never actually gotten to this point before and have no idea what these purple things are?
<Bitbyte> they're chorus fruits
<Bitbyte> they teleport you if you eat them
<Hotwheelz> awesome i'm gonna eat 10 and see where i end up
<Hotwheelz> oh look it's the void
<Earthskaher> good thing we brought beds to the stronghold
**********
<Dandelion> Quick question
<Dandelion> Where am I?
<Riku> We all got split up didn't we?
<Rainfell> I'm with Kairi and Namine
<Earthskaher> Hiding in 2-block endstone from angry enderman
<Owlette> hey me too!
<Stuggle_Champion> i'm with Olette
<Bitbyte> i see an end city in the distance
<Hotwheelz> me, Xion, Ven and Roxas are hopelessly lost
<SORA> Riku hi!
<SORA> i see you!
<Riku> How did you get all the way up on the chorus plant?
<SORA> i don't know
<darkness> fantastic
<darkness> how did any of you get organized enough to fight an actual war?
<Rhythm_game> spoiler: we didn't
<Rhythm_game> we just got a bunch of people together, gave them a little bit of training and went 'yeah good enough'
<Hotwheelz> Yen Sid did that with us mostly
<Seashells> Atleast Sora and Riku had some experience
<Skateboards> i wasn't even there until like right in the middle of it
<Rainfell> Me, Ven and Terra all have formal keyblade training
<Earthskaher> I needed to get unpossessed first
<Rhythm_game> Aqua, you and Ven barely had any time to rest before we were off to the graveyard
<darkness> that seems like terrible planning
<darkness> was there even a plan?
<Skateboards> show up, beat the shit out of people, leave
<darkness> i like that plan
<Dandelion> Of course you do
**********
<Bitbyte> the things i do for shulker boxes
<Owlette> there he goes flying into the sky
**********
<Hotwheelz> welp i count this as a successful trip!
<Skateboards> great!
<Skateboards> let's go home
Chapter 12: The great prank war of Minecraft
Notes:
This fic is really addicting to write, I have to pace myself so I don't end up with like five chapters at once oof
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
<Skateboards> enderdragon's dead time for a Minecraft war
<Earthskaher> We JUST fought a real one
<darkness> well that sounds like a you problem
<Rhythm_game> not to be dramatic but i would trounce all of you in a prank war
<Dandelion> You know what?
<Dandelion> Sure let's go I'm taking revenge for my chickens
<Seashells> Uh oh
<darkness> bring it Ventus
<Hotwheelz> if this whole server isn't on fire in about an hour i'm eating my hat
<Seashells> You don't have a hat?
<Hotwheelz> i will buy one just to eat it
<Owlette> i'll hold you to that promise
<Struggle_Champion> hell yeah tnt cannon time
<Bitbyte> absolutely not
<Skateboards> i was originally just gonna go after riku
<Skateboards> but sure let's do a server-wide war
<Riku> Why does that not surprise me?
<Riku> Anyways,
<Riku> Do you still have wool Sora?
<SORA> no but the sheep are still alive!
<Riku> Perfect.
<Riku> Everyone bow down to the wool empire.
<SORA> 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
<Rhythm_game> who would win, a flint and steel or your wool?
<SORA> :(
<Rhythm_game> Sora you betrayed me in our last non-Minecraft prank war
<SORA> Riku offered cookies!
<SORA> i couldn't resist!
<Seashells> Mood
<Skateboards> want to team up Kairi?
<Rhythm_game> without a doubt
<Riku> The wool empire may not last as long as I thought...
**********
<darkness> what the fuck Ventus
<Earthskaher> ???
<Earthskaher> What did he do?
<Dandelion> I have done nothing wrong ever
<darkness> debatable
<darkness> but also
<darkness> so many chickens
<Dandelion> I had a lot of eggs
<darkness> they're everywhere
<darkness> it's so LOUD
<darkness> how did you even get past the lava moat?
<Dandelion> I didn't I just threw the eggs and hoped for the best
<Earthskaher> Wait you have a lava moat? That's really cool!
<darkness> thanks it's where i burn my enemies
<Hotwheelz> hold on back up for a second why did you say 'debatable'?
<darkness> atleast i have free food now
<Seashells> The best kind of food
<Dandelion> I have more eggs Xion
<Seashells> You'll have to get past my defenses first
<Hotwheelz> guys? hello?
<Dandelion> This is for Sir Cluckington the first and second!
<Hotwheelz> guys?
**********
<SORA> the bees have breached the wool gate
<Riku> The what now?
<SORA> they are angry
<SORA> help
SORA was stung to death
<Riku> Where did you get so many bees this fast??
<Rhythm_game> a magician never reveals her secrets
<Skateboards> now imagine this but in real life
<Bitbyte> pro-tip: do not get stung by bees
<Struggle_Champion> i don't want to be reminded of that
<SORA> oh! are you okay?
<Bitbyte> he's fine he just got stung by a whole swarm once
<Struggle_Champion> we needed munny to go to the beach
<Struggle_Champion> people will pay you to remove bees
<Rhythm_game> why do you need to pay to go the beach?
<Rhythm_game> it's just a lot of sand and water
<Owlette> i have been asking that question for years
<Riku> That seems dangerous.
<Riku> Shouldn't people just hire an expert to deal with a swarm of bees instead of teenagers?
<Skateboards> yeah imagine getting stung by bees
<Skateboards> and then someone steals all the munny you just got for removing those bees
<Skateboards> no more beach day
<Riku> Ah.
<Skateboards> pay me back and i'll return all the emeralds
<Riku> So that's where those went.
<Riku> I'll come by tomorrow.
<Skateboards> i'm gonna get so much ice cream
<Rhythm_game> is this another one of those times where someone says something concerning and then pretends like everythings fine?
<Skateboards> yeah
<Riku> Yeah.
<Rhythm_game> damn
**********
<Seashells> It's been an hour and the server is NOT on fire
<Dandelion> Not for a lack of trying
<darkness> what do you have against Paul?
<Dandelion> He's a ghast
<darkness> rude
<Rainfell> That explains the giant nether portal
<Seashells> Axel it's time to buy a hat
<Owlette> are you actually going to eat it?
<Hotwheelz> bold of you to assume i wouldn't
<Rainfell> On that note,
<Brushpaint> Please return to your houses :)
<Rhythm_game> wait what
<Skateboards> holy shit
<Hotwheelz> that is actually genuinely impressive
<darkness> how
<Dandelion> It was only an hour
<Earthskaher> The house is upside down
<Seashells> Everyone's house is upside down
<Rhythm_game> it appears i have been bested
<Rhythm_game> i humbly hand over my crown to Aqua and Namine
**********
On another server...
<2x222x33x3> This is an,
<2x222x33x3> 'interesting' game
<444x777x2> Is this really the best use of our time?
<4x88x555x2> I have turned all the sheep into rainbows
<444x66x888x444> I believe I may have gotten lost
<555x88x99x88> again?
<555x88x99x88> sometimes i wonder why i even put up with all of this...
Notes:
Next chapter is chapter 13...
:)
Chapter 13: Do you know why the sun sets red?
Notes:
Most of this chapter is just Seasalt trio angst, not much humor but it's chapter 13 and I had to take the opportunity.

<Skateboards> i hate it here
**********
Hotwheelz joined the game
Earthskaher joined the game
<Earthskaher> Is it just us two?
<Hotwheelz> yep
<Earthskaher> You've played this game before right?
<Earthskaher> What do we do after defeating the dragon?
<Hotwheelz> honestly just mess with each other
<Hotwheelz> like the prank war
<Hotwheelz> me and Isa used to play all the time
<Hotwheelz> and by that i mean that i would get bored in about an hour and start putting up signs with memes all over our world
<Hotwheelz> Isa always pretended it didn't amuse him
<Hotwheelz> i just realized Roxas and Xion aren't home and i have no idea where they are
Rainfell joined the game
<Rainfell> Ven also left early this morning
<Rainfell> I have not seen Vanitas leave his room but he also just appears in places sometimes
<Rainfell> Startles me every single time
<Earthskaher> He does that on purpose
<Rainfell> I don't doubt that
<Rainfell> I assume it's either a joint mission or they're splitting up in smaller teams
<Hotwheelz> that's gotta be a lot of Heartless then if so many are going
<Earthskaher> Yen Sid told all of us about a big Heartless threat in one of the nearby worlds
<Earthskaher> Were you not paying attention?
<Hotwheelz> how disappointed would you be if i said no?
<Rainfell> Ven used to get distracted a lot when we first met him
<Rainfell> More interested in the birds and other small critters than actually listening to Master Eraqus
<Earthskaher> He was around twelve so it wasn't THAT surprising
<Hotwheelz> in my defense i was thinking about very important things
<Earthskaher> Like what?
<Hotwheelz> i haven't send Roxas and Xion to school yet
<Hotwheelz> mostly because they're still doing missions and balancing those two would be a nightmare
<Hotwheelz> but also how am i gonna explain why they don't know a lot of basic stuff?
<Hotwheelz> walk up to the principal like: yeah these teens just got out of a cult or something and hope that doesn't raise concern
<Hotwheelz> also for personal reasons i will not be able to help with homework
<Hotwheelz> i don't remember half of what i learned about a decade ago
<Hotwheelz> no idea how Isa does it, i didn't even tell him to have it memorized!
<Rainfell> We have a very big library if you want to relearn things
<Rainfell> Or we can just let Roxas and Xion loose in the library and they'll find what they want to learn
<Rainfell> The Master did that with us and it somehow worked
<Earthskaher> I got lost in there once
<Hotwheelz> how big exactly is that library?
<Earthskaher> We have maps
<Earthskaher> And several 'you are now here!' signs
<Hotwheelz> ah
<Rainfell> It might also help if you talk to them about it
<Rainfell> We've been having talks between the three of us
<Rainfell> Me, Terra and Ven
<Earthskaher> It made me realize we should've started doing that a long time ago and i don't know why we never did
<Hotwheelz> yeah that's not a bad idea
<Hotwheelz> maybe i'll do that tomorrow
<Hotwheelz> they'll be tired from the mission today
<Earthskaher> Thumbs-up!
<Rainfell> Good luck!
**********
Skateboards joined the game
Seashells joined the game
<Skateboards> oh
<Skateboards> double nightmare?
<Seashells> Double nightmare
<Skateboards> why does this always happen
<Seashells> Is it because we're all connected in some way?
<SORA> Vanitas says he can feel it if Ven has one
<SORA> but Ven doesn't really sleep often though
<SORA> also hi! i'm here too!
<SORA> sorry about the nightmares :(
<Seashells> Hi Sora! It's like three am how are you awake
<Skateboards> please don't say 'nightmare'
<SORA> no my brain is just loud
<SORA> i actually haven't had any nighmares since the mark of mastery???
<Skateboards> wtf that's not fair
<SORA> maybe i can ask the Dream eaters for help?
<Seashells> Please do I need to pet literally all of them
<Skateboards> i strongly agree with that notion
<SORA> hey if i can be serious for a moment do either of you want to talk about your nightmares?
<SORA> it's fine if not though!
<Skateboards> most of mine are just the same things over and over
<Skateboards> they don't really make sense either it's just a bunch of stuff from a whole year all crammed into one
<Skateboards> and somehow i still wake up in a panic
<Skateboards> except for anything that features ansem (the not wise) those are the worst ones
<Skateboards> or the best because sometimes i get to stab him with a keyblade
<SORA> that man scares me
<SORA> i am not easily scared
<Seashells> I met him one time and he gave me Saix vibes
<Seashells> Or like
<Seashells> A more unhinged Vexen
<Skateboards> i don't even want to imagine that
<Seashells> Is it alright if I pass on the nightmare talk?
<Seashells> I'm still shaking a little
<Skateboards> yeah of course!
<SORA> absolutely! :D
<SORA> !!!
<SORA> do you think i could make a giant wool Meow Wow?
<Seashells> Yes
<Skateboards> yes
<Seashells> I will help you make the giant wool Meow Wow
<Skateboards> I will also help you make the giant wool Meow Wow
<SORA> :D

<darkness> finally
<darkness> today is the day
<darkness> the day of my REVENGE
<Brushpaint> Revenge for what?
<darkness> the chickens
<darkness> they haunt me
<darkness> i can still hear them when i sleep
<darkness> not because i forgot to shut the game off i would never do that
<Brushpaint> Oh! Xion thought me a great response for that!
<Brushpaint> Press X to doubt
<darkness> i'm kind of tired of all these X's to be honest
<Brushpaint> Yeah me too
<Brushpaint> So how are you going to get your revenge?
<darkness> with my absolutely brilliant plan
<darkness> i need something that Ventus won't be able to bring himself to hurt
<darkness> my solution:
<darkness> Cats
<Brushpaint> How many cats exactly?
<darkness> as many as needed
<darkness> as long as i can still come up with dumb names i'm not done
<Brushpaint> You're gonna need a lot of cats
<darkness> i have a cat farm
<Brushpaint> ????????
**********
<Riku> I think Master Yen Sid made a mistake.
<Rhythm-game> i think he's made a lot of mistakes
<Riku> He just asigned me to two different mission that are happening on the same day at the same time,
<Riku> Totally different locations.
<Rhythm-game> welp
<Rhythm-game> time to learn teleportation!
<Riku> I think I'm just going to alert him to the error
<Rhythm-game> that's the boring option
Riku left the game
<Rhythm-game> wow

<Hotwheelz> i am the meme master, master of the memes
<Owlette> who dares to challenge my throne?
<Hotwheelz> Me(me)
<Skateboards> that was weak
<Hotwheelz> :(
<Seashells> I propose a duel!
<Owlette> a worthy opponent
<Owlette> our battle shall be legendary!
<Struggle_Champion> Olette's starting it off strong today

Dandelion joined the game
SORA joined the game
<Dandelion> I hear meowing
<Dandelion> It's very loud
<SORA> cats!
<Dandelion> They are everywhere
<Dandelion> This must be Vanitas's doing
<SORA> please tell me they have names
<Dandelion> 'Purrcival'
<Dandelion> 'Whisker senior'
<Dandelion> 'Whisker junior'
<Dandelion> 'Nyan'
<Dandelion> 'The Great Meowton'
<Dandelion> 'Bartholomew'
<Dandelion> 'Kitcat'
<Dandelion> Several cats named after fish
<Dandelion> 'Maximus Theodorus'
<Dandelion> 'Chicken'
<Dandelion> 'The Void'
<Dandelion> That's all I could find
<Dandelion> There might be more
<SORA> keep them!
<Dandelion> I
<Dandelion> Okay sure
<SORA> wait this isn't where i logged off?
**********
<Seashells> Alas our daytime is drawing to a close
<Owlette> we will meet again, challenger
<Seashells> I look forward to it
**********
<Earthskaher> If you think about it, isn't it strange that Kingdom Hearts always shows up when some sort of battle is happening?
<Rainfell> Can we please discuss this when it is NOT 2 am?
**********
<444x66x888x444> Shouldn't we be doing something?
<555x88x99x88> nah it's just the waiting game now
<444x66x888x444> It's taking a very long time
<555x88x99x88> eh don't worry about it

Yes, you can actually make a cat farm in Minecraft

Chapter Text
<darkness> why does the old wizard man want me on a mission
<darkness> i don't know what a 'sleeping realm' is and i don't care enough to find out
<SORA> wait didn't i see you there?
<SORA> in the cathedral?
<darkness> you what?
<SORA> yeah! you said some stuff about my heart being a prison or something
<SORA> it was confusing
<Skateboards> maybe he meant me, Xion and Ven?
<Seashells> More like a hospital in Ven's case
<darkness> i have no memory of that
<SORA> huh
<Dandelion> Is this another thing to put on the whiteboard?
<Earthskaher> What's the whiteboard for?
<Skateboards> collection of 'weird shit that happens and we just have to deal with it'
<Seashells> We've added a second one because there is no more room on the first
<Rainfell> The fact that that doesn't surprise me makes me worry
<Rhythm_game> it also doubles as a theory board
<Rhythm_game> anyways back to the original topic
<Rhythm_game> Vanitas do you know what a Dream eater is?
<darkness> yes?
<Rhythm_game> cool i can skip the explanation
<Rhythm_game> Sora do you have a photo of a Me Me Bunny?
<Riku> Well I know where this is going.
<SORA> i have 20
<Rhythm_game> send them to Vanitas
<SORA> i think i just had the same realization as Riku
<Rhythm_game> Send
<darkness> why would i need 20 pics of some rabbit?
<darkness> oh
<darkness> wtf this looks almost exactly like a Hareraiser but with different colours
<SORA> do you want the nightmare version too?
<darkness> give me like five hours i need to process this
**********
<Bitbyte> tomato soup could be a smoothie if you think about it
<Struggle_Champion> i don't want to think about it
<Owlette> every kind of soup can be a smoothie if you're brave enough
<Struggle_Champion> i'm not brave enough
<Rhythm_game> soap can be a smoothie if you have a good blender
<darkness> if you put a burger inbetween two bread buns it doesn't matter what else you put on it it would still be considered a burger
<SORA> lettuce
<Riku> I would pay you $$$ not to remind me of that
<Dandelion> If you used flat bread instead of buns would it be a burger or a sandwich? Discuss
<Owlette> obviously a sandwich the bread decides all
<Hotwheelz> only if it's cut diagonally
<Seashells> What if it's horizontally cut?
<Struggle_Champion> that's a crime against all sandwichkind
<Skateboards> remove the corners
<Seashells> Taco ingredients but no shell
<Rhythm_game> A taco but it's only filled with skittles and M&M's
<darkness> cold sauceless macaroni with salt and pepper
<Bitbyte> you've heard of pineapple on pizza get ready for mint ice cream on pizza
<Owlette> dip a stroopwafel in ranch dressing
<Earthskaher> I am uncomfortable with the energy we've created in the Minecraft server today
**********
Water_dance joined the server
<Hotwheelz> what
<Skateboards> what
<Seashells> What
<Water_dance> ooooh fancy server you got here!
Water_dance fell from a high place
<Water_dance> oops
<Hotwheelz> Demyx?
<Riku> How?
<Riku> How did you get in?
<Water_dance> oh I just saw it open in my server list and clicked
<Riku> That should not be possible.
<Rainfell> Can you ban him?
<Water_dance> whaaaat? nooooo come on I even got a cool phone like you all do!
<Water_dance> we're on the same side!
<Skateboards> when did that happen?
<Seashells> Are you still using your organization name?
<Water_dance> yeah it's such a hassle telling everyone what my real name is so I just don't bother
<Water_dance> so anyways can I stay?
<Riku> I need more sleep.
<Riku> But fine you probably won't do much anyway.
<Water_dance> that's kinda mean :(
<Water_dance> it's true but you didn't have to say it
<Hotwheelz> not the worst organization member to be on a Minecraft server with
<Rainfell> Is this a good idea?
<Skateboards> i mean he was usually just trying to get out of doing work
<Skateboards> i'd be surprised if he did anything other than go afk because he fell asleep
<Seashells> Comic relief
<Hotwheelz> i thought i was the comic relief?
<darkness> now you are
<Hotwheelz> hey Vanitas i heard you like chickens
<darkness> only when they're cooked
**********
<Rhythm_game> do my eyes deceive me or did someone new join?
<SORA> that name sounds familiar...
<Water_dance> hi Sora! Long time no see!
<Water_dance> who's Rhythm_game?
<Rhythm_game> i'm Kairi
<Water_dance> ooooooooh you're that red-haired girl!
<Rhythm_game> remember that time the orginization kidnapped me?
<Water_dance> oh yeah
<Water_dance> sorry about that!
<Brushpaint> But why are you here?
<Water_dance> to play Minecraft?
<Brushpaint> Weren't you with Xehanort?
<Water_dance> I got benched
<Water_dance> and then I helped Vexen with some stuff
<Water_dance> brought replica's to Ienzo and the rest
<SORA> so you helped us!
<SORA> :D
<Rhythm_game> at least half of that old man's team either left or secretly worked against him
<Rhythm_game> L

Notes:
Stroopwafels aren't that good tbh
Chapter 16: Soup
Notes:
You may have noticed that chapter 10 was the longest and also the most plot-driven, every tenth chapter will be similair, with the chapters leading up to it being a sort of 'clue' to where the plot is headed. This chapter is already more focused on the plot and the following ones will do the same. Though there will still be humour.
Chapter 20 features a certain type of reveal but not the one you're probably thinking off :)
Also pretend I didn't forget to include Demyx in the tags. He's here now.

darkness joined the game
<Brushpaint> Did you already finish your mission?
<darkness> nah unlike Roxas i did take my laptop with me
<Riku> Wait I thought you went to the sleeping realm? How does the laptop even work there?
<darkness> i don't care how it works just that it does
<Riku> What if you get attacked?
<darkness> i have a horde of unversed i fear nothing
<Brushpaint> Couldn't you just finish the mission and play Minecraft after?
<darkness> mission's boring these nightmare things aren't that hard to fight
<darkness> there's just A LOT of them
<darkness> also i have no idea what i was supposed to do here
<Riku> Didn't Yen Sid tell you?
<darkness> oh yeah i zoned out halfway through the explanation
<darkness> in my defense the last old man that gave me missions just talked about Darkness, the X-blade and chess for some reason
<SORA> me and Riku were supposed to open world hearts so they could wake up!
<darkness> sounds fake but okay
<Seashells> Little bit off topic but does anyone else think the number of Heartless is increasing?
<Seashells> I swear there were less last week
<Skateboards> you noticed that too?
<SORA> had to fight off at least double than before yesterday
<Bitbyte> there was one of those tornado thingies in town recently
<Bitbyte> a small one but it still caused some damage
<Rhythm_game> i fought that one
<Rhythm_game> it destroyed an older lady's flower shop
<Owlette> was her name Margaret? she's a family friend
<Rhythm_game> i think so, she gave me a few non-destroyed flowers as a thank you
<Rhythm_game> i just wish i'd been quick enough to save her shop
<Dandelion> They're getting more aggressive too
<Dandelion> I saw one attack one of its own
<Riku> More worlds are targetted at once as well, a few weeks ago we only had real Heartless trouble about two or three times a week
<Riku> And it was usually just a group of stragglers
<Riku> Now it's as if someone like Maleficent is gathering them all together again
<Earthskaher> You've met her?
<Rhythm_game> 'met' is a strong word
<SORA> i fought her
<SORA> though last time i saw her she was looking for something? but i can't remember what it was...
<Owlette> ominous
**********
Dandelion joined the game
<darkness> Ventus
<Dandelion> What?
<darkness> you call this 'going to bed on time'?
<Dandelion> I did go to bed! I was sleeping!
<darkness> and now you're not
<Dandelion> Just had some weird dream
<darkness> ???
<Dandelion> There was a fountain and some silver-haired guy but it was really vague and I don't remember anything else from the dream
<Dandelion> Don't feel tired anymore
<darkness> Oh
<Brushpaint> Was he wearing a red scarf?
<Dandelion> Yeah! How'd you know?
<Brushpaint> I stumbled upon a few memories of people connected to Sora
<Brushpaint> I think I saw the guy you just descibed in yours but that memory was weird...
<darkness> weird how??
<Brushpaint> Normally I can see them very clearly but with this one it was like seeing it through a strange filter
<Brushpaint> Couldn't understand what was happening in the memory either
<Brushpaint> I didn't hear anyone speak
<Dandelion> Maybe it's from before I met Terra and Aqua?
<darkness> yeah maybe
<Dandelion> You know something
<darkness> no i don't
<Dandelion> Vanitas c'mon really?
<darkness> no idea what you're talking about
<Dandelion> You are actually impossible
<darkness> thanks it's my life's mission
<darkness> anyways i gotta go
<Dandelion> Hey no
<darkness> i didn't particularly hate talking to you both
<Brushpaint> Thank you? I think?
<Dandelion> Vanitas don't you dare!
<darkness> bye!
darkness left the game
<Dandelion> Why.
**********
<555x88x99x88> you know, when i said "increase the amount of Heartless",
<555x88x99x88> i did not mean 'double it immediately'!
<2x222x33x3> Maybe you should've specified
<4x88x555x2> I told them not to go so fast
<555x88x99x88> wonderful it's not like we're trying to hide what we're doing or anything
<555x88x99x88> outstanding job everyone

<Seashells> Good news: I found the jungle biome, got like half a stack of saplings, enough cocoa beans to feed a tiny army and even found a temple!
<Skateboards> and the bad news?
<Seashells> There is none
<Seashells> Double good news, I found parrots!
<Seashells> They're mine now
<Hotwheelz> wasn't there something you could do with parrots?
<Water_dance> dance parrots dance!
<Hotwheelz> yeah that
<darkness> nice memorizing
<Hotwheelz> don't use my catchphrase against me! :(
<Seashells> Now for the hard part
<Seashells> Getting them all back home
<Seashells> I have several leads and a boat wish me luck
<Dandelion> Wait I thought tamed animals could teleport to you?
<Riku> If you get far enough fast enough they don't.
<SORA> :(
<SORA> i lost so many doggo's like that
<SORA> brought a whole pack home looked back and all but one was gone
<Rhythm_game> some say they still wander the forgotten chunks...
<Rhythm_game> also you had a really old laggy laptop
<SORA> sometimes i could see through the floor
<Owlette> spooky
<Riku> Kairi used that to cheat and find mineshafts.
<Rhythm_game> snitch!
<Rhythm_game> i have a document full of pranks
<Riku> Pretend I said nothing.
<Rhythm_game> good
<Hotwheelz> question: do we still have leftover wool? asking for a friend
<Skateboards> i'm the friend
<Skateboards> Pence send me a bunch of video's of Minecraft parrots dancing on wool
<Skateboards> i didn't really understand it but i still want to recreate it
<Water_dance> i'll get the music!
<Rainfell> But I thought today was a schoolday?
<Rainfell> Or is that already over? Master Eraqus always homeschooled us so our days probably worked different
<Owlette> and i oop
<Riku> How are you on the server without anyone noticing?
<Owlette> skill
<Owlette> also this teacher falls asleep in class a lot and no one wants to wake him up
<Rainfell> The teacher... falls asleep in class?
<Owlette> it just be like that sometimes
<Owlette> anyways i also want to see the dancing parrots
<SORA> the sheep are still there
<SORA> I can go get some wool!

<44x222x44> joined the game
<Water_dance> heyy new server member!
<Riku> Why does this keep happening?
<Skateboards> lol you need to admin better
<Skateboards> you should type /op Skateboards in chat
<Riku> No.
<Skateboards> curses foiled again
<Riku> If I gave you that kind of power Lea would convince you to change the texture of every block and item to another.
<Hotwheelz> i don't think he'd need much convincing
<Hotwheelz> and that's a great idea you should give Roxas admin powers
<Riku> No.
<Hotwheelz> curses foiled again
<Seashells> Hey Riku can I become an admin?
<Riku> Do you really think I would fall for that?
<Seashells> It was worth a shot
<Water_dance> what if you gave them to me?
<Skateboards> but you don't really do anything??
<Water_dance> exactly!
<Water_dance> can't misuse powers if you never use 'em!
<44x222x44> I think i accidentally joined the wrong server...
<44x222x44> I'm really sorry i didn't mean to cause any trouble
<44x222x44> I just can't find the one i'm supposed to be on
<Seashells> Do we know you?
<44x222x44> I don't recognize any of your names so i don't think so?
<44x222x44> I can leave if you want me too?
<Rhythm_game> are you going to put ender eyes on trees?
<44x222x44> No?
<Riku> Before we let random people join I'm going to have another talk with Chip and Dale.
<44x222x44> I think it's best if i leave for now
<44x222x44> I need to find my friends!
<44x222x44> left the game
<Rhythm_game> hey
<Rhythm_game> hey Riku
<Riku> Yes?
<Rhythm_game> i really think you should make me an admin
<Riku> ...
Riku left the game
<Rhythm_game> curses foiled again
**********
<Earthskaher> Aqua
<Earthskaher> Do Not tell Ven I let his chickens escape
<Earthskaher> I'll bring them back!
<Rainfell> Only if you clean the large hall this weekend
<Earthskaher> You drive a hard bargain
<Earthskaher> Fine
<Rainfell> Excellent
Notes:
One of my laptops is old and I have had tamed pets just, not teleport to me if I walked fast enough.
But yeah you may have noticed that Riku used Lea instead of Axel? That's because he doesn't let everyone call him by his organization name. Xion and Roxas obviously know him better by that name and Kairi did get permission from him in a KH3 cutscene. I don't remember everything from that game, been a few years so I don't know if he lets anyone else do this canonically.
Chapter 18: The Flood
Notes:
I have returned! Unfortunately I have almost immediately been hit with a light cold oof. Anyways if you saw me post a teensy part of this too early no you didn't.

<flood> snyygbgursynzrf!tybelgbgurqnexarff!
<Dandelion> It hasn't even been 10 minutes and already arson has been committed
<Riku> I feel like this was a mistake.
<Water_dance> fear not! it is i, Demyx! time for the water to dance!
<Skateboards> is your entire inventory filled with water buckets or something?
<Water_dance> yep!
<Rhythm_game> respect for the commitment to the bit
<Riku> Well at least that solves the fire problem.

<444x66x888x444> Please don't start another fight
<4x88x555x2> I wasn't trying to

<2x222x33x3> Maybe we should hear the good news first?
<555x88x99x88> the good news is i have finally received a message
<444x66x888x444> !!
<555x88x99x88> the bad news is it will be a little longer before we make contact
<444x66x888x444> awwwww
<2x222x33x3> And the worst news?
<555x88x99x88> the ice cream machine is broken

<44x222x44> Hello?
<44x222x44> Is this the right server?
<Eternal_flowers> Whomst?
<44x222x44> Oh sorry I got it wrong again
44x222x44 left the game
<Eternal_flowers> That was weird
<CracklingLightning> less talking more searching
<CracklingLightning> I will be getting that damned trident
<Water_dance> those numbers looked familiar...
<CracklingLightning> I don't care
<Water_dance> rude
<Eternal_flowers> Everyday I wonder why we let you onto the server
<Water_dance> hey!
Notes:
A flood has been added to the roster, what could possibly go wrong?
Chapter 19: The great tower of Sponge
Notes:
Chapter 19, the chapter right before we dive headfirst into the plotfest that is Chapter 20. Also this a long one wow.
There's a bit at the end that gets a bit more serious, involving Ventus and Vanitas. I don't know if it requires any sort of warning? It starts at Dandelion joined the game.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
<Rainfell> I have several questions
<Rainfell> 1. Terra, ven, why is there a big hollowed out space right under our house?
<Rainfell> 2. I'm gone for a day and suddenly there's a tower of sponges reaching past the clouds
<Rainfell> 3. Vanitas please come collect your flood, it will not stop letting Ven's chickens into the house
<darkness> my answer starts with N and ends with O
<Rainfell> Regrettable
<flood> puvzxraahttrg
<Earthskaher> We need space for more chickens
<Dandelion> I wish to expand my army
<Rainfell> Exactly HOW many chickens are we talking about?
<Dandelion> Hundreds probably, maybe more
<Hotwheelz> are you planning to break the server?
<Earthskaher> Don't worry we know what we're doing
<Rainfell> No you don't
<Earthskaher> No we don't
<Riku> Unfortunately it doesn't matter how many chickens you spawn, this server is immune to lag.
<Riku> Don't ask me how I zoned out while it was being explained.
<Riku> In my defense I was sleep-deprived and socially awkward enough to not dare ask for a repeat.
<Dandelion> Unfortunate for you, this is eggcellent news for me
<Water_dance> wait so we can just go absolutely wild and the server will be just fine?
<Riku> Yes.
<Water_dance> awesome i'm going to do nothing with this that kind of chaos is too much work
<darkness> you know nothing of what you have just unleashed
<Earthskaher> Ominous
<Skateboards> hey Xion check your dm's i just got a GREAT idea
<Seashells> Beautiful we need to do this right now
<Riku> Why do I hear boss music?
<flood> v'zgurobff
<Seashells> Don't worry about it
<Rhythm_game> Aqua may i introduce you to the greatest build on this entire server?
<Rhythm_game> everyone please feast your eyes on the Sponge Tower
<Hotwheelz> i can't even see the top
<Rainfell> Was there any reason for this?
<Rhythm_game> server wasn't cursed enough
<Owlette> the floor is made out of bamboo
<Riku> That was Sora's idea.
<SORA> hey you said the tower needed more than just Sponge
<Riku> I was correct.
<SORA> yeah that's true
<SORA> i still feel like something is missing...
<Rhythm_game> we're already at the build limit maybe we should work on the inside?
<Brushpaint> Glazed terracotta but the patterns don't match up
<SORA> :0
<SORA> YES
<Rhythm_game> Namine you are a genius
<Brushpaint> ^_^
<Dandelion> Aqua we have changed our minds
<Earthskaher> We will be turning one half of the hollowed out space into a chicken pen
<Dandelion> And the other half is for a life-sized version of commandboard
<Rainfell> Oh
**********
<Struggle_Champion> Pence
<Bitbyte> yes?
<Struggle_Champion> my house is literally covered with signs
<Struggle_Champion> inside and outside
<Struggle_Champion> was this you?
<Bitbyte> is there anything ON the signs?
<Struggle_Champion> i found a few meme ones but most are blank
<Bitbyte> i did the meme signs
<Bitbyte> no idea who did the rest
<Owlette> hello dearest friends
<Bitbyte> i just figured out who did the rest
<Struggle_Champion> Olette
<Struggle_Champion> WHY
<Owlette> it wasn't just me
<Owlette> i had help from the flood
<Bitbyte> the little blue things Vanitas makes?
<Owlette> i must teach them the mastery of pranks
<Owlette> also i have a bet with Kairi on how long it takes for someone to start absolute chaos on the server and i am blatantly cheating to win
<Struggle_Champion> a giant sponge tower doesn't count as absolute chaos?
<Owlette> unless they're everywhere no
<Bitbyte> what if we make our own cursed tower?
<Struggle_Champion> what if we make it upside down?
<Owlette> what if we set it on fire?
<Bitbyte> what if we did both of those?
<Struggle_Champion> yes
<Owlette> yes

<Water_dance> i build a base!
<Water_dance> it's nothing fancy but i like it
<Hotwheelz> is it underwater?
<Water_dance> weeeeeeelllll

<Skateboards> how do THREE people know the secret to putting emoji's in the Minecraft chat
<Skateboards> one of them being SORA
<Hotwheelz> hey Roxas want to know a secret?
<Skateboards> yeah?
<Hotwheelz> i desperately wish to find out but i don't want them to know because then they'll never tell
<Skateboards> :0
<Hotwheelz> if you can keep them distracted with outrage i can keep collecting info
<Skateboards> is it time to bring out the whiteboard?
<Seashells> I already have one
<Hotwheelz> perfect now we just need to connect the dots
<Water_dance> i've connected them
<Skateboards> what?

<Rhythm_game> alright terracotta's finished
<Rhythm_game> finally
<SORA> we're free!
<SORA> wow we're so high up!
<SORA> how are we going to get off the sponge tower?
<Riku> Same way we got up here?
<Rhythm_game> we sealed the roof with bedrock
<Riku> Why did you do that.
<Riku> How did you get the bedrock, Kairi?
<Rhythm_game> my powers are beyond your understanding
<Hotwheelz> if you want it to be even more cursed i can build a staircase around it
<Hotwheelz> upside down
<Rhythm_game> do you have the patience for that?
<Hotwheelz> no
<Riku> There's a bit of water somewhere down there we can just jump.
<Rhythm_game> alright team break a leg!
<Riku> Note to Sora: do not actually break a leg.
<SORA> i promise i will not break my leg
<darkness> break someone else's leg
<SORA> NO
<Riku> Roxas
<Riku> Xion
<Skateboards> what?
<Seashells> Hm?
<Riku> I just opened the door to my room in our Minecraft house.
<Riku> Now there are bats everywhere.
<Riku> Was this perhaps your doing?
<Skateboards> appreciate our efforts it took a stupidly long time to get them all in there
<Riku> I have set them free.
<Seashells> We named them lol
<Riku> Oh yeah those are never despawning.
<Skateboards> fun surprise for whoever logs on after us
<Rhythm_game> who wants to bet they'll show up again at an important moment?
<Seashells> Who wants to bat*
<Rhythm_game> damn i should have made that pun!
<Riku> Hey Kairi please don't say foreshadowy things in my Minecraft server.
<Rhythm_game> :D
<Riku> P l e a s e.
**********
Dandelion joined the game
<Dandelion> Is it a trend for us two to meet at ungodly hours?
<darkness> no it's a trend for you to not sleep when you're supposed to
<Dandelion> Actually shut up
<Dandelion> It's just more of those dreams
<Dandelion> The weird ones where everything is vague and I have no idea what is going on
<darkness> exactly how frequent are those?
<Dandelion> They're increasing
<Dandelion> But I heard a word this time!
<Dandelion> I looked it up but it doesn't really help me?
<darkness> the fuck does that mean?
<Dandelion> All I heard was 'strelitzia'
<Dandelion> Apparently it's some kind of plant or flower
<darkness> oh
<Dandelion> Can you just tell me what you know?
<Dandelion> I know you're hiding something
<darkness> do i look like i give a shit about flowers?
<Dandelion> You only deflect like that when you know things you don't want to say!
<darkness> oh because you know me so well
<Dandelion> What if it's important?
<Dandelion> Please?
<darkness> i hate everything
<darkness> you know how you don't remember the first twelve years of our life?
<Dandelion> Yeah I kinda thought that was probably Xehanort's doing or something
<darkness> and do you remember the last time i even implied anything memory-wise?
<Dandelion> Oh
<Dandelion> Why do i always get a killer headache from stuff like that
<Dandelion> You think that'll happen again?
<darkness> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<darkness> maybe?
<darkness> if it does it's either 12 years worth of memories all at once or some completely out of context shit
<darkness> and i don't want to explain all of that yet
<darkness> so can you just let it go for now?
<Dandelion> Yeah alright
<Dandelion> If the dreams do get clearer can I get an answer then?
<darkness> if it doesn't make me want to bang my head against the wall then yes
<Dandelion> I can live with that
<darkness> okay
<Dandelion> I'm actually kind of tired now, might log off and go back to bed
<Dandelion> Wait is that bat named 'Marshymellow help me Xion i ran out of ideas'?
<darkness> oh no Kairi was right
<Dandelion> You know what I'm just gonna figure out what that means in the morning
<Dandelion> Goodnight
<darkness> don't let the Unversed bite
Dandelion left the game
<darkness> wouldn't it be funny if i snuck an Unversed into his room?

Hotwheelz joined the game
<darkness> finally everyone is online
<SORA> Demyx isn't online??
<darkness> finally EVERYONE is online
<Rhythm_game> oof
<Skateboards> Axel did you get the ocean monument map like you said you would?
<Hotwheelz> uuuuuuuh
<Hotwheelz> okay so ABOUT that
<Hotwheelz> the answer is yes and also no
<Rhythm_game> that makes no sense
<Hotwheelz> now hold on let me explain
<Hotwheelz> it took 5+ hours but i DID get the map from some random village
<Seashells> Read: he begged Isa to do it for him
<Hotwheelz> Betrayal
<Seashells> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<Hotwheelz> so after Isa so graciously got me an ocean monument map he is reading this over my shoulder i put it in a chest
<Hotwheelz> and now i can't find it
<Owlette> did you put it in a normal chest or in an enderchest?
<Hotwheelz> normal chest
<Hotwheelz> i checked everywhere twice but found nothing
<Dandelion> Did someone steal it?
<Dandelion> Vanitas?
<darkness> you just went straight for me i see how it is
<Skateboards> you just have that vibe
<Skateboards> also your Flood keeps stealing things
<flood> vqrfreirserrfuvg
<Bitbyte> could've been swiped by a fox
<darkness> i didn't take shit
<darkness> neither did the Flood
<Rhythm_game> this is what you get for not putting important things in enderchests
<Rhythm_game> like i did with all the stuff i stole from Riku
<Riku> You did what now?
<Rhythm_game> you heard me
<Riku> This is a text conversation.
<Rhythm_game> semantics
<Riku> I don't think that's how you use that word.
<Rhythm_game> yeah i don't care about that lol
<Riku> (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
<SORA> ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)
<Hotwheelz> so anyway map's gone
<Brushpaint> Do we need to get another map then?
<Hotwheelz> nah let's just sail the ocean and see what happens
<Seashells> let's sail the ocean and *sea what happens
Water_dance joined the game
<Water_dance> hey guys!
<Water_dance> what's happening?
<darkness> read up
<Water_dance> okay
<Water_dance> that wasn't nice mr. darkness!
<darkness> when have i ever been nice?
<SORA> i have many thoughts about that but i must not speak
<Dandelion> Sora? What does that mean?
<SORA> i don't think i can say without also spilling someone else's private stuff
<Dandelion> Oh, okay! :D
<SORA> :D
<Skateboards> alright everyone meet up at the beach and bring your own boats we don't have a lot of trees
<Riku> There's a forest like 300 blocks away.
<Skateboards> there WAS a forest 300 blocks away
<Seashells> We may have had an 'incident' involving fire
<Skateboards> and explosions
<Riku> Why am I not surprised?
<Seashells> We just wanted the achievement where you bring a ghast through the nether portal
<Earthskaher> So that's where that crater that Ven just almost fell into came from
<Dandelion> That moment when Terra happens to leave out the part where he actually fell into the crater
<Rainfell> That moment when both Ven and Terra forgot to bring their own boats
<Rhythm_game> HA
<Brushpaint> I brought extra boats!
<Brushpaint> I wish we could decorate them...
<Owlette> same
<Struggle_Champion> same
<Dandelion> same
<SORA> same
<flood> fnzr
<Skateboards> same
<Rhythm_game> i think i speak for all of us when i say that boat decorating should be in the next update
<Rainfell> Is everyone ready to go?
<Hotwheelz> i think so?
<Hotwheelz> even Demyx showed up
<Water_dance> the water is my home
<Seashells> Roadtrip part 3: this time with extra water
<Rainfell> Didn't we already do a third roadtrip to get an elytra?
<Seashells> That felt more like roadtrip part 2.5 chain of end cities
<Skateboards> Roadtrip part 3/4 birth by monuments
<Rainfell> I now understand less than I did before
<Rhythm_game> less talking more boating
**********
<Rhythm_game> it's been five minutes and i'm already bored
<Rhythm_game> there's only ocean
<Struggle_Champion> wait but i just passed an island?
<Bitbyte> hey so did i!
<Rhythm_game> i have not seen land for many, many months
<Rhythm_game> woe is me, traversing the endless ocean on my lonely vessel
<Rhythm_game> the fish my only friends in the deep dark depths
<Riku> It's only been five minutes.
<Rhythm_game> shush
<Dandelion> Is now a good time to bring up that I can't see anyone else's boats?
<SORA> where am i?
<Riku> Please do not tell me that we somehow got separated.
<Skateboards> okay then i won't tell you that we got separated and are also very lost
<Skateboards> wait Sora don't move i think i see you in the distance
<SORA> oh hey Roxas i see you too!
<Skateboards> i have found Sora
<Flood> vjnaggbRNGzlobnggurjbbqybbxfgnfgl
<Skateboards> now onto everyone else
<Bitbyte> we can use the coörds
<Owlette> i think mine are broken it says i'm like 20.000 blocks away from spawn
<Owlette> the chunks have stopped loading
<Owlette> welp there goes the floor
<Earthskaher> How did we manage to do the same thing twice?
<Hotwheelz> skill
<Seashells> At least no one's making friends with the void this time
<Seashells> Except for Olette
<Riku> If everyone could give a general description of where they are that would be great.
<Rhythm_game> water
<Riku> Descriptive.
<Rhythm_game> i'm a very descriptive person
<Struggle_Champion> me and Pence are going in laps around a jungle island
<Bitbyte> Hayner is losing the race
<Struggle_Champion> lies and slander
<Skateboards> Sora has left his boat and is now swimming with the dolphins
<SORA> i have made so many new friends!
<Rainfell> I think i'm in a coral reef
<Rainfell> It's very beautiful
<Brushpaint> Oh me too! I hope it's the same one so we can find each other!
<Water_dance> i accidentally ended up back at the beach
Owlette left the game
Owlette joined the game
<Owlette> Minecraft just crashed but my coörds are fixed, 5000 blocks away from spawn
<Owlette> Namine i see you!
<Brushpaint> Hello! :D
<Hotwheelz> a guardian just broke my boat and i am floating helplessly in the ocean but at least i won the monument hunt!
<Dandelion> Think again I was already here!
<Hotwheelz> h e l p m e
<Hotwheelz> typing makes me sink
<Dandelion> yeah okay
<Earthskaher> I see a lot of giant mushrooms?
<Earthskaher> And these really weird cows
<Earthskaher> Why is the dirt purple
<Seashells> The apocalypse has begun
<Rhythm_game> oooooh mushroom island!
<Riku> That's really rare.
<Seashells> Understood i will employ copious amounts of post-it notes to make sure we don't lose the coörds
<darkness> i purposefully went the other way
<darkness> it is high time i found the Kraken
<Seashells> high tide*
<SORA> the kraken exists in Minecraft???
<Riku> No.
<SORA> i fought the kraken once
<Rhythm_game> wait actually
<SORA> yeah!
<Rhythm_game> damn wish i could've been there
<darkness> if it's not real than why do i see something distinctly Kraken-like down in the depths?
<darkness> no wait someone build this with a stupid amount of dark green terracotta
<flood> zlcevqrnaqwbl
<Rhythm_game> so that's where that went
<Water_dance> is it me or did we just gloss over the part where Lea found the monument?
<Dandelion> No I found it
<Dandelion> I've won!
<SORA> Riku where are you? you haven't given your location yet
<Riku> A Drowned destroyed my boat and I am stuck on a tiny island with no trees.
<Skateboards> i am suddenly very fond of that Drowned
<Water_dance> guys
<Water_dance> monument
<Riku> Right, Ven could you send the coörds in the chat?
<Dandelion> -600 65 7080
<Dandelion> Like that?
<Bitbyte> yep! now we all just need to make our way over there
<SORA> Riku send Roxas yours and we can pick you up!
<Skateboards> why do i need to be the navigator?
<SORA> my eyes don't like all the tiny letters
<SORA> it gets overwhelming
<Skateboards> yeah i get that
<Struggle_Champion> huh so that's not something that only happens to me
<Struggle_Champion> wild

<2x222x33x3> I agree, that is probably the least reassuring thing you have ever said
<444x777x2> On a completely unrelated note, whoever stole half a chest of bread had better return all of it today or there will be consequences
<4x88x555x2> Why only half a chest?
<444x66x888x444> And why do you have so much bread?

<Rainfell> On this day, fifteen brave warriors stand upon the shores of Sandbar, on the cusp of storming the Ocean Monument and test their might against the beastly guardians
<Bitbyte> 👀
<Dandelion> That sounds really cool Aqua!
<Rhythm_game> it reads almost like a story book opening
<Rainfell> Thank you, I've been reading some adventure novels lately and I was inspired
<Seashells> Wait didn't we have sixteen server members?
<Owlette> the Flood isn't here
<Owlette> i think they went back to the mainland
<Dandelion> Vanitas one of your Floods just walked into my room and is chewing on my shirt
<Rhythm_game> moth behaviour
<Owlette> i thought they had more cat energy
<darkness> my Floods are not cats
<darkness> or moths
<Dandelion> They look like bugs with cat software
<darkness> i am becoming increasingly more tempted to join the fight on the ocean monument on the side of the guardians
<Riku> Can we go in before it gets too late? Remember there's a mission tomorrow.
<Hotwheelz> i didn't memorize that
<Skateboards> you're not going
<Skateboards> it's me, Xion, Sora, Ven, Vanitas and (for some reason) riku
<Hotwheelz> awesome i love not needing to do things
<Water_dance> oh hey me too!
<darkness> i never agreed to that?
<Dandelion> You walked out of the room before we were even told where we were going
<darkness> i'm very proud of myself for that one
<Earthskaher> Help I have been spotted and I lost my boat
<Brushpaint> Please don't break too many of those we only have a few extra
<Hotwheelz> we'll try
Earthskaher was slain by Guardian
<Earthskaher> So could it perhaps be that we forgot to bring beds?
<Earthskaher> The silence is very telling
<Owlette> We really just did not prepare for this whole trip at all did we?
<Rainfell> This is not our finest moment, no
<darkness> if any of you still want some kind of loot you better hurry before me and Xion take it all
<Rhythm_game> wait what
<Seashells> We decided to let you all talk amongst yourselves while we snuck in to take everything before anyone else could
<Seashells> But Vanitas blew our cover :(
<darkness> i got bored
<darkness> oh shit
darkness was slain by Elder Guardian
<Seashells> L
<Bitbyte> who let one of the elder guardians out?
<Hotwheelz> i may have mined into the wrong part of the wall
Hotwheelz was slain by Elder Guardian
<Hotwheelz> oh
<Dandelion> Should we just leave and come back another time?
<SORA> what's going on? i fell asleep for a moment i think
<Riku> I think that's our cue to go to bed.
<Riku> The monument won't go anywhere.
Riku left the game
<Rhythm_game> now that Riku is gone i'm going to replace all the tree leaves with green wool
<Rainfell> Why?
<Rhythm_game> he's like 99% of my impulse control

<2x222x33x3> What kind of monstrosity of a username is THAT?
<4x88x555x2> It's hurting my eyes
<jyhjraolvyf:dohapmaolthzalyvmthzalyzpzZvyhibamyvthkpmmlyluaylhspaf?> awww but I thought we were doing numbered codenames! I even made it extra long, see?
<444x66x888x444> Those aren't even numbers
<4x88x555x2> Isn't the purpose of codenames to be at least somewhat readable to those in the know?
<jyhjraolvyf:dohapmaolthzalyvmthzalyzpzZvyhibamyvthkpmmlyluaylhspaf?> that makes it boring though, this is much more fun!
<jyhjraolvyf:dohapmaolthzalyvmthzalyzpzZvyhibamyvthkpmmlyluaylhspaf?> I can't see your faces but I am imagining the expressions to be hilarious
<444x777x2> Every day we stray further from Kingdom Hearts's Light
<jyhjraolvyf:dohapmaolthzalyvmthzalyzpzZvyhibamyvthkpmmlyluaylhspaf?> eh for as long as it's still here sure
<2x222x33x3> What
<jyhjraolvyf:dohapmaolthzalyvmthzalyzpzZvyhibamyvthkpmmlyluaylhspaf?> oooooooh that one was supposed to stay in my head, my bad
<555x88x99x88> couldn't you all have waited until my popcorn was ready for the show?
<555x88x99x88> but it might be a good idea to change your username anyway
<jyhjraolvyf:dohapmaolthzalyvmthzalyzpzZvyhibamyvthkpmmlyluaylhspaf?> fineee just give me a couple hours to come up with something good
jyhjraolvyf:dohapmaolthzalyvmthzalyzpzZvyhibamyvthkpmmlyluaylhspaf? left the game
<444x66x888x444> Why do I hear banging sounds?
<4x88x555x2> Sorry that's just my head hitting the wall
<555x88x99x88> if you break the wall you pay for it
<555x88x99x88> but hey, at least we finally made contact right Gula?
<4x88x555x2> WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT CODENAMES
<555x88x99x88> lol

Dandelion joined the game
<Dandelion> I made the mistake of drinking coffee with too much sugar right before bed
<Skateboards> Why Would You Do That

<Dandelion> I accidentally poured too much in and then decided to drink it anyway
<Dandelion> Guess what I'm never doing again
Seashells joined the game
<Seashells> I see it's time for another sleepless night Minecraft party
<Seashells> May I remind you we do have a mission tomorrow guys
<Skateboards> my brain decided it was nightmare time tonight
<Skateboards> the chances of falling asleep again are very low
<Seashells> Oof that sucks
<Dandelion> My hands are shaking
<Skateboards> yeah that's probably the caffeine mixed with the sugar
<Seashells> Hey Roxas remember that one time when we stole some of Isa's coffee?
<Skateboards> i don't think i could ever forget
<Skateboards> we were bouncing off the walls
<Seashells> Literally
<Skateboards> 10/10 would do that again
darkness joined the game
<darkness> Ventus
<Dandelion> I'm feeling very awake right now
<Dandelion> Hey Vanitas hey hey hey
<darkness> what?
<Dandelion> What looks like a weird bug but acts like a cat?
<darkness> ...
<darkness> is it a Flood?
<Dandelion> Wow you guessed it in one try!
<darkness> ...
<Skateboards> i can feel the disappointment through the screen
<darkness> Ventus i am going to break into your room right now
<Dandelion> I'm not in my room
<Dandelion> Wow the forest is really pretty at night!
<darkness> well there goes the last of my patience
<Seashells> Patience is a virtue
<darkness> i have no virtues
<darkness> Ventus you either come back inside right now or i'll drag you back myself
<Dandelion> Lol gotta catch me first!
Dandelion left the game

<SORA> Riku told me to tell you to "please go to bed it is three a.m."

<Seashells> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
**********
<Hotwheelz> hypothetical question, could someone get themselves stuck in a wall by eating chorus fruits?
<Hotwheelz> specifically a bedrock wall?
<Earthskaher> Did you get stuck in a bedrock wall
<Hotwheelz> no it's a hypothetical question
<Rainfell> I don't think I believe that
<Earthskaher> Do you need help?
<Hotwheelz> nah don't worry i'll figure it out
Riku joined the game
<Rainfell> Oh, is your mission already finished?
<Earthskaher> That was fast
<Riku> None of you are answering your Gummiphones so I have to do this over Minecraft chat.
<Riku> We dispatched of the Heartless with no problem but we ran into a strange person.
<Hotwheelz> ???
<Riku> We couldn't see his face as he was wearing some sort of bear mask and I don't think we were supposed to notice him based on how he acted.
<Riku> Then he looked right at Ventus ,
<Riku> who suddenly screamed and then collapsed onto the ground and he still hasn't woken up.
Notes:
So anyways how do you all feel about cliffhangers?
Chapter 21: *Insert funny chapter name*
Notes:
Hello! I wrote a one-shot that takes place inbetween the end of last chapter and the start of this one. You should be able to find it in the series, it's named 'Show me anguish!' partially because that's one of Vanitas's voice lines and mostly because writing angsty stuff is funny for me as the writer. Maybe not so much for the readers though.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
<Struggle_Champion> the server's very quiet today
<Struggle_Champion> it's literally just us three
<Struggle_Champion> where did everyone go?
<Bitbyte> i went by Roxas and Xion's house this morning but they weren't home
<Bitbyte> maybe they all went on one of their mission thingies?
<Owlette> Kairi always sends memes from her phone when she's on a mission
<Owlette> i have a really bad feeling about this
<Bitbyte> same
<Struggle_Champion> i just send Roxas a message
<Struggle_Champion> it delivered but he hasn't responded yet
<Bitbyte> wasn't there some sort of war with a crusty old man?
<Bitbyte> what if that's not over yet?
<Struggle_Champion> i thought that guy was dead??
<Owlette> why are all these named bats flying around my house?
Skateboards joined the game
<Owlette> Roxas!
<Bitbyte> hello! 😀
<Struggle_Champion> Roxas dude where did you all go???
<Skateboards> hi
<Skateboards> sorry Hayner i didn't see your text until now
<Skateboards> we're at Ven's house
<Owlette> that's a lot of people for one house
<Skateboards> he lives in a whole castle
<Skateboards> if it hadn't taken me half an hour to find the bathroom i would've been jealous
<Bitbyte> i'm still jealous tbh
<Owlette> yeah me too
<Struggle_Champion> why are you all there? you having a party or something?
<Skateboards> i wish we were
<Skateboards> something happened on the last mission and now Ven's been laying unconcious in his room for hours
<Struggle_Champion> what does 'something' mean?
<Skateboards> i honestly have no idea
<Skateboards> he just collapsed and didn't get back up
<Skateboards> we've been trying to figure out what's going on but he seems fine physically
<Skateboards> and Vanitas is being cryptic
<Bitbyte> hospital?
<Skateboards> Cure magic heals everything
<Owlette> except for whatever this is apparently
<Owlette> also Pence, Hayner, i win the bet
<Skateboards> what?
<Struggle_Champion> that is NOT enough evidence to prove he's a cryptid
<Skateboards> what are you two talking about?
<Bitbyte> we bet on whether Vanitas is a cryptid creature or not
<Skateboards> that would depend on what criteria you think a creature should have to count as a 'cryptid'
<Owlette> damn guess it's back to the drawing board then
<Skateboards> alright then
<Skateboards> i have to go help out with Ven i don't know when i'll be back
<Owlette> that's okay we understand
<Skateboards> Thank you
Skateboards left the game
<Struggle_Champion> so uh this sure is something
<Struggle_Champion> i don't know what to do with this
<Owlette> Roxas seemed really worried
<Bitbyte> he didn't even react to the emoji
**********
<Earthskaher> It feels weird to play Minecraft right now
<Earthskaher> I keep wanting to run into Ven's room and check on him
<Earthskaher> What if something happened in the five minutes I wasn't there?
<Rainfell> I feel the same
<Rainfell> I'm just,
<Rainfell> Expecting him to log on any moment but I know that's not possible
<Seashells> Imagine waking up after being unconcious for over two days and the first thing you think to do is play Minecraft
<Water_dance> i would do that
<Rhythm_game> lol me too
<SORA> Vanitas hasn't left Ven's room at all so when he wakes up i'm sure Vanitas will tell us!
<Rainfell> Will he?
<SORA> i'm sure of it! :D
<Riku> Now that we're on this topic, who was that guy in the bear mask?
<Riku> I have never seen him or anyone like him before.
<Rhythm_game> i want to introduce him to my Keyblade
<Riku> We don't even know if he actually had anything to do with Ven's current state.
<Skateboards> he definitely did
<Skateboards> Ven screams and collapses right after the bear dude looked at him it's obvious he had something to do with it
<Earthskaher> I don't think i've ever seen anyone with a bear mask
<SORA> why didn't he monologue? he just got up and left!
<Seashells> The Heartless were biting at his ankles mans had no idea what he was doing
<Rhythm_game> skill issues i can do better than that
<Rainfell> Aren't you a Princess of Heart?
<Rhythm_game> yeah but what does that have to do with the Heartless?
<Riku> Kairi you don't have any Darkness in your Heart.
<Rhythm_game> well that sounds like a problem for future me
<Rhythm_game> okay but seriously i hope this is just a one-off and we're not about to get a new threat dumped on our heads
<Rhythm_game> i just want to play Minecraft not fight in another war
<Water_dance> can't fight in a war if you refuse to show up
<Water_dance> it's a Demyx-approved solution!
<Hotwheelz> arrive to the battlefield with a laptop and challenge the other side to a Minecraft war instead
<Skateboards> we'd probably lose
<Rhythm_game> not if we cheated
<SORA> befriend the enemy and convince them to change sides
<SORA> i like making new friends!
<SORA> and not losing
<Rhythm_game> Riku won the last island race you two did didn't he?
<SORA> i suddenly forgot how to read
<Riku> I like having bragging rights.
<Seashells> I am shamelessly interrupting this conversation to suggest that we build or make something nice for Ven for when he wakes up
<SORA> he still has those cats that Vanitas filled his house with
<SORA> what if we made a seperate house for all of them?
<Rainfell> There's a spot of Plains biome near us where no one has build yet
<Seashells> Perfect
<Rhythm_game> alright team let's get to building!
**********
<Hotwheelz> so uh
<Hotwheelz> Terra, Aqua your castle-house is really cool but i am very lost
<Hotwheelz> i think i took a wrong turn somewhere
<Rainfell> Can you describe where you are?
<Hotwheelz> big empty hall with lots of doors
<Earthskaher> That could be anywhere what's behind the doors?
<Hotwheelz> an indoor pool!??
<Rhythm_game> you guys have an indoor pool and you never mentioned it to me?
<Riku> We literally live right next to the ocean.
<Earthskaher> Huh didn't know we had that
<Rainfell> I found it once when I was young and then could never find my way back
<Hotwheelz> ah so neither of you know where i am?
<Hotwheelz> guess i'll wander the halls forever
<Skateboards> you know how to open Dark corridors
<Hotwheelz> being melodramatic is funnier
<Hotwheelz> spices up the Minecraft chat you know?
darkness joined the game
<darkness> Ventus is awake
<darkness> he says he feels dizzy and his head hurts but otherwise he feels fine
<darkness> why is he staring at me
Rainfell left the game
Earthskaher left the game
Hotwheelz left the game

<Riku> How about we don't all immediately crowd him?
<Riku> Welp.
Riku left the game
<SORA> Vanitas, do you think Ven is actually okay?
<darkness> physically yes
<darkness> emotionally he's mostly confused
<darkness> idk about his mental state i'm not a brain doctor
<SORA> 'brain doctor'
<darkness> just come to his room he wants cookies
<SORA> lol i'll try to sneak some candy in later
SORA left the game
<darkness> i see many late night Minecraft chats in the not so distant future
darkness left the game

Struggle_Champion joined the game
<Struggle_Champion> what's up people i am locked out of my house
<Struggle_Champion> and before anyone asks i mean my Real house
<Seashells> How did you get locked out of your house??
<Struggle_Champion> one of those shadow things stole my keys
<Riku> Heartless?
<Struggle_Champion> it was kind of rude to steal my keys right out of my hand but i wouldn't call it heartless
<Riku> That is not what I meant.
<Rainfell> Isn't there anyone else home who can let you in?
<Struggle_Champion> apparently not
<Skateboards> me and my giant keys will save you
<Rainfell> I thought you were in Radiant Garden today?
<Skateboards> i refuse to be anywhere close to ansem 2
<Hotwheelz> he escaped out the window this morning so we couldn't make him go
<Hotwheelz> so now i'm turning the whole of Twilight Town upside down looking for him
<Seashells> No you're not you're sitting on our couch in the living room
<Hotwheelz> if ansem the science guy asks you anything tell him i am Definitely looking for Roxas and NOT playing Minecraft in my living room
<Rhythm_game> awesome i love lying
<SORA> my favourite hobby is telling people i'm fine when i'm really not
<Rhythm_game> omg same
<Riku> May I remind you two that you are saying this in the Minecraft chat which the entire server can read?
<Riku> I am going to both of your houses right now.
<SORA> haha don't worry Riku i was joking!
<SORA> you can still come over though!
<Rhythm_game> i just wanted to feel included
<Rainfell> Both of those explanations are still very concerning
<Water_dance> but i do that all the time? whenever someone asks me how i am i just say 'good' and leave it at that
<Rainfell> Most people do that
<darkness> i don't i tell people to leave me the fuck alone and maybe hiss at them
<Dandelion> Cat. Energy.
<darkness> you are supposed to be resting
<Dandelion> fiiiinnneeee
Dandelion left the game
<Earthskaher> What is also concerning is the fact that Roxas literally just ran away from home
<Seashells> Yeah he didn't need to do that we would never have forced him to go near ansem the has-never-been-wise-ever-in-his-life if he didn't want to
<Skateboards> it was a precaution
<Skateboards> also i'm still in town i didn't just leave to a different world
<Struggle_Champion> i have been granted access to my home
<Struggle_Champion> thanks to one (1) Roxas
<Skateboards> i'm going to try to get your keys back
<Skateboards> right after i have a tea party with the Dusks in the sewer

<Eternal_flowers> Why is the server broken
<Water_dance> looks fine to me
<Eternal_flowers> Demyx the trees are slowly moving in one direction
<CracklingLightning> they're migrating
<Eternal_flowers> Trees don't migrate
<CracklingLightning> they do now
<Eternal_flowers> Is this because of the flower apocalypse?
<CracklingLightning> 'Is ThIs BeCaUsE oF tHe FlOwEr ApOcAlYpSe?' what do YOU think?
<Eternal_flowers> I deeply regret my life's decisions
<CracklingLightning> good
<Water_dance> the trees have taken me
<Water_dance> goodbye friends i must ride off into the sunset
<Eternal_flowers> You could just,
<Eternal_flowers> Jump off of the tree?

SORA joined the game
Skateboards joined the game
Seashells joined the game
<Skateboards> it's one of those nights again isn't it?
<Seashells> Actually I just followed in Ven's footsteps and consumed way too much sugar
<Seashells> We are sitting in the same pillow fort you already knew I was awake
<SORA> ooooooooh you built a pillow fort?
<Skateboards> we bribed Axel into making it for us
<Seashells> He had no idea what he was doing so Isa did it instead
<Seashells> The fairy lights were my idea though
<Skateboards> i got to hit isa in the face with one stupidly large pillow
<Skateboards> he just kind of stood there and let it happen
<SORA> what if we all had a sleepover sometime and made one together?
<SORA> and i really do mean ALL of us
<SORA> just be prepared for monopoly 2
<Skateboards> what does monopoly have to do with pillow forts?
<SORA> me, Riku and Kairi can get... Competative when we make pillow forts
<Seashells> Get ready to lose the competition then
<Skateboards> that still says absolutely nothing about monopoly
<SORA> we once made an entire town of pillows and played real life monopoly
<SORA> my mom wasn't happy that we took over the entire house and also half the garden
<SORA> it was fun though!
<Seashells> We are doing this the moment things calm down a bit and we're not getting send on missions 24/7
<Skateboards> i vote we just stop doing any missions for a week and let yen sid figure it out himself
<SORA> sounds like a good plan i am running on 3 hours of sleep
<Seashells> 3 hours??
<SORA> i was really worried about Ven so i couldn't sleep and then got send on a late night mission
<SORA> i just got home
<Seashells> Ven was unconcious for three days are you saying you have not slept at all since then?
<Skateboards> Sora are you okay?
<SORA> do you really want me to answer that?
<Skateboards> well i asked so yes
<SORA> i am completely fine and there is absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever
<SORA> i just want to s l e e p
<SORA> there's supposed to be another mission tomorrow morning
<SORA> would Yen Sid be super mad if i just didn't go?
<Seashells> Probably yes but stay home anyway
<Seashells> I'll ask Axel to take this one
<Skateboards> Sora you can't go on any missions in the next few days you're taking me to the beach to teach me how to catch fish with my hands i've just decided
<Skateboards> i saw you doing that trick once and now i want the forbidden fish knowledge
<Skateboards> sleep first though
<SORA> 👍
<Skateboards> i am calm i am so calm i am the calmest calm that ever calmed i am so fucking calm
<Dandelion> Why do my blocks keep burning away???
<Skateboards> Ven!?
<Seashells> Ven!?
<SORA> Ven!?
<Dandelion> Hiiiiii
<Dandelion> Oh wait it's because of the lava
<SORA> weren't you resting?
<Seashells> I didn't even notice he was online
<Dandelion> I got bored
<Dandelion> I still have a headache and it hurts to read the chat but also I want to mess with Vanitas while he's not online
<Dandelion> Why is the screen so briiiiiight my poor eyes
<Skateboards> turn your brightness down
<Dandelion> Oh yeah
<Dandelion> Good idea!
<Seashells> What are you doing?
<Dandelion> 'Improving' Vanitas's base
<SORA> i think i'm gonna go to bed now
<Seashells> Good night!
<Skateboards> don't get up for any missions
<Dandelion> Night
SORA left the game
<Dandelion> I'm gonna need more blocks

<444x777x2> Why are we still playing the craft game when we should be meeting up in person?
<555x88x99x88> no this is funnier
<555x88x99x88> more people should have important meetings in the minecraft chat
<4x88x555x2> We live in the same house that's enough for me
<2x222x33x3> I have already apologized for my actions regarding the ice cream machine, is it still upsetting to you?
<444x66x888x444> The upstairs window is missing, as in the whole frame is on the ground outside
<2x222x33x3> It was a momentary lapse of anger
<4x88x555x2> I wasn't talking about the ice cream machine but now that you mention it please make an attempt to at least replace it
<444x777x2> We do not need an ice cream machine
<555x88x99x88> yes we do
<4x88x555x2> Yes we do
<444x66x888x444> Yes we do
<2x222x33x3> Yes we do
<444x777x2> It appears I have been outvoted
DefinitelynotSora joined the game
<4x88x555x2> That's not even a code
<DefinitelynotSora> eh it doesn't say who I am so it counts
<2x222x33x3> Who is Sora?
<555x88x99x88> that one spiky haired kid
<2x222x33x3> There are several of those
<555x88x99x88> brown hair with a goofy smile
<2x222x33x3> Ah I believe I understand which one you mean now
<444x66x888x444> Who are these children? Are they the new generation of Keyblade wielders?
<DefinitelynotSora> so now that I am finally here it is time for some good old Minecraft trickery
<444x66x888x444> I love it when my questions go ignored
<444x777x2> I thought we were having a meeting?
<DefinitelynotSora> nah we can do that later
<DefinitelynotSora> Kingdom Hearts let me live another day and I am about to make that Everyone else's problem
<4x88x555x2> Hey uh what does that mean?
<DefinitelynotSora> wouldn't you like to know leopard boy

darkness joined the game
<darkness> what the fuck
Brushpaint joined the game
<Brushpaint> Hello everyone!
<Dandelion> Hi Namine!
<darkness> what. happened. to. my base
<Brushpaint> Oh is everything okay?
<darkness> it is almost completely covered in green wool blocks
<darkness> i am following a trail through the whole base and it just gets worse
<darkness> how did the lava not eat all of these blocks?
<Dandelion> Oh it did do that I just needed to find the right places to put them
<darkness> you did this
<darkness> Ventus why the fuck would you do this
<Dandelion> It's an adventure!
<darkness> i hate adventures
<Brushpaint> Are you feeling better Ven?
<Dandelion> A little, my head doesn't hurt as much anymore and I can read the chat without it hurting my eyes
<Dandelion> But now I'm having Thoughts
<Brushpaint> I'm glad you're okay we were all really worried the last few days
<Dandelion> :D
<darkness> i just walked into a room filled with buttons
<Dandelion> Haha buttons!
<darkness> what kind of 'Thoughts' Ventus?
<Dandelion> I think you should keep exploring your base
<Brushpaint> I'm confused what's going on?
<darkness> answer the question Venty-wenty
<Dandelion> I saw some things while I was unconcious but I don't really understand anything or know how to explain what I saw
<Dandelion> So I can't really answer that question yet
<Brushpaint> Maybe it's connected to the dreams you've been having?
<Dandelion> Maybe? I was running around a town I think? It kept flipping between a normal not destroyed town and well, the opposite
<Dandelion> Does that make sense?
<Brushpaint> Do you remember what the town looked like?
<Dandelion> Uuuuuh a lot of purple
<Dandelion> I think I was running from something so I wasn't paying much attention
<darkness> i don't like where this conversation is going
<Dandelion> You asked
<darkness> and now i have Regrets
<darkness> Hey Ventus why do i hear chickens?
<Dandelion> I haven't the faintest idea on why you might be hearing chickens
<darkness> did you release chickens into the walls of my base?
<Brushpaint> Why do you have hollow walls?
<darkness> quick escape routes
<Dandelion> I need to put all the eggs I keep collecting somewhere
<darkness> i will get you back for this
<Dandelion> Lol
<darkness> do you remember Paul Ventus?
<Dandelion> Unfortunately yes
<Dandelion> Oh no
<Brushpaint> Isn't Paul a Ghast?
<darkness> Paul loves making new friends
<Dandelion> Wait a minute how did you get Paul back into the Nether?
<darkness> i didn't
<darkness> oh no
<Brushpaint> Is there a Ghast flying around somewhere in the Overworld?
<darkness> i left the stove on
<Dandelion> But you never cook anything?
darkness left the game
<Brushpaint> Perhaps I should upgrade my house from breakable objects to non-breakable objects

Chapter Text
<Rhythm_game> the server has been lacking in memes lately
<Rhythm_game> it is time to rectify that
Brushpaint joined the game
<Rhythm_game> Naminé!
<Brushpaint> Kairi!
<Rhythm_game> how do you feel about memes?
<SORA> i like memes!
<Brushpaint> What kind of memes are we talking about?
<Rhythm_game> the best ones
<Rhythm_game> i need your skills for my grand master plan
<Rhythm_game> specifically your recently acquired mastery of photoshop
<Brushpaint> For what?
<Rhythm_game> Art
<Rhythm_game> and chaos and memery
<Rhythm_game> mostly chaos and memery
<Brushpaint> Okay! What do you need me to do?
<Rhythm_game> i'll dm you
<SORA> i want to help
<Rhythm_game> perfect more people who appreciate my vision
<Rhythm_game> we're gonna need a lot of item frames and paper
<SORA> i can do that!
**********
<SORA> Kairi i got distracted and now i'm in a cave somewhere?
<Rhythm_game> that's fine i think you got more than enough already
<Rhythm_game> we have one double chest full of the stuff
<Brushpaint> I have finished the pictures
<Brushpaint> I can't stop laughing at them
<Brushpaint> Just looking at one makes me giggle
<Rhythm_game> Naminé you're a lifesaver
<Rhythm_game> these are beautiful
<Brushpaint> ^_^
darkness joined the game
<darkness> what is happening
<SORA> i'm lost in a cave
<Brushpaint> Memes
<Rhythm_game> winning a bet
<Rhythm_game> and also memes
<Brushpaint> Wait what's this about a bet?
<Rhythm_game> me and Olette bet on how long it would take for the server to devolve into chaos
<Rhythm_game> i know she tried to cheat by involving Vanitas's Flood
<Rhythm_game> but since nothing else is really going on i've decided to ALSO start cheating
<Rhythm_game> all's fair in war and Minecraft
<darkness> war crimes exist
<Rhythm_game> shush
<Rhythm_game> a stupid amount of free ice cream is at stake here
<darkness> well now you've got my attention
<Brushpaint> Do you plan on sharing any of that ice cream?
<Rhythm_game> yes
<Rhythm_game> anyone who helps bring my master plan to life also gets the spoils
<SORA> we're gonna get ice cream!??
<Rhythm_game> not just any ice cream, FREE ice cream
<Brushpaint> :D
<SORA> can someone help me out of this cave?
<SORA> i accidentally threw all my torches on the floor and then a creeper ate them
<darkness> if i help him out of the cave does that count as 'helping' with your plan?
<Rhythm_game> sure we still need to put all these pictures up and i don't know how long we have until someone else logs on
<Rhythm_game> i don't think we can manage with just me and Naminé we're gonna need all the help we can get
<darkness> alright Sora give me your coörds
<SORA> i don't remember which button to press for that
<SORA> wait hold on i see light?
<SORA> oh wow
<darkness> don't walk into lava
<SORA> i don't think it's lava? the light is more yellowy than orange
<Rhythm_game> did you just find what i think you did?
<SORA> hey Kairi do you remember that one school fieldtrip we did to one of the island's caves?
<SORA> 'cause that's what this looks like
<Rhythm_game> oh yeah i think i do
<Rhythm_game> damn that was a while ago we were like, ten probably?
<Rhythm_game> Riku slipped and fell in a water puddle lol
<Rhythm_game> omg you found a lush cave biome
<SORA> this is so cool i want to show it to everyone!
<darkness> not yet
<SORA> what? why?
<darkness> grab some of the moss i have a fantastic idea
<Brushpaint> Does your idea require bonemeal by any chance?
<darkness> yes. yes it does
<Rhythm_game> oh that's genius
<SORA> i don't understand what's going on but i'll get you your moss
<darkness> perfect
**********
<Earthskaher> Does anyone else get the feeling that there's something different about the server today?
<Rainfell> Now that you mention it yes something does feel off
<Rhythm_game> really? i have no idea what you're talking about
<Riku> You did something to the server, didn't you?
<Rhythm_game> who? me? i could never!
<Bitbyte> am i seeing things or does that sheep have a mustache?
<Hotwheelz> why is there an army of cows surrounding the beach house and why are they also rainbow coloured?
<Rhythm_game> no idea i had nothing to do with that one
<Riku> So you did do something to the sheep?
<Rhythm_game> i plead the fifth
<Bitbyte> help i found another one
<Rhythm_game> lol
<darkness> the cows were my doing
<Hotwheelz> wait how did you do that?
<darkness> i also plead the fifth
<Riku> I don't think it works like that...
<Seashells> Why is an armor stand following me around?
<Seashells> It's kind of creepy
<Bitbyte> oops that was me
<Bitbyte> i was trying to make it follow random players around but i thought it didn't work so i scrapped the idea
<Bitbyte> guess i was wrong and it did actually work!
<Owlette> it breached containment
<Dandelion> My house has been eaten by the moss
<Riku> Your house has been what?
<Dandelion> Terra, Aqua, I'm afraid we have to move the moss lives here now
<Rhythm_game> damn and it isn't even paying rent?
<darkness> stop being dramatic Ventus that's my job
<Earthskaher> The moss isn't actually in the house though
<Rainfell> It fits very nicely with the theme we already have outside
<Dandelion> I like the flower bushes!
<darkness> well there goes my genius plan
<Hotwheelz> and how am i supposed to get out of MY house now?
<darkness> you're not
<Hotwheelz> understandable have a nice day
<Skateboards> Axel come help me build a bridge
<Skateboards> we're going OVER the cows
<Rhythm_game> the cow may jump over the moon but Roxas jumps over the cow
<Skateboards> i literally have no idea what any of that means
**********
<Owlette> so anyways, thoughts on pear flavoured pizza?
Hotwheelz joined the game
<Hotwheelz> what kind of conversation did i just walk into?
<Seashells> We're making a pizza store and we need flavour ideas
<Rhythm_game> correction: we need CURSED flavour ideas
<Seashells> Soup?
<Owlette> what kind of soup
<Seashells> No I mean we turn the pizza into soup
<Hotwheelz> i have several questions and i fear the answers
<Rhythm_game> good
<Rainfell> What if we just picked random ingredients and called it a day?
<Brushpaint> I like the way Aqua thinks
<Seashells> Axel we're going to need to buy a lot of things
<Hotwheelz> i don't even have a job
<Rainfell> We have gardens at the Land Of Departure we don't need to buy anything
<Owlette> this truely is the best idea we've had yet
**********
<Rhythm_game> Vanitas why is my house also covered in moss?
<darkness> i taught Sora how to spread it and let him loose
<flood> jroevatGurpbzvatbsgurZbff
<darkness> i also lend him the flood
<flood> bhexvatqbzjvyyevfr!
<Rhythm_game> do you have any idea what you've just unleashed?
<darkness> pure chaos and i regret nothing
<Riku> Don't you think this is enough moss Sora?
<SORA> the moss obeys me now Riku
<SORA> now i have nothing to fear
<Riku> You're stuck up there, aren't you?
<SORA> yeah :(
<SORA> help there are too many bushes
<SORA> i don't know how to get off of the roof
<Riku> Hang on I'll be right there
<SORA> :D
<Rhythm_game> i'm getting the feeling this isn't over...
<darkness> that's because it isn't
<Rhythm_game> oh don't misunderstand me i'm joining the side of the moss
<SORA> really???
<Rhythm_game> hell yeah let's cause some REAL chaos
<darkness> where's the popcorn when you need it?
<flood> vjnagcbcpbea
<Riku> Whatever you four are about to do please don't let it break the server
<darkness> no promises
Notes:
It may not seem like it just yet, but the moss is going to be a very important plot point later on :)
Chapter 24: <Seashells> Roxas I don't want to alarm you but moss carpets grow on mangriove trees
Notes:
I don't really have anything to say this time, here's chapter 24!

Water_dance joined the game
<Water_dance> help
<Water_dance> i am trapped
<Water_dance> where'd all this moss come from?
<Riku> Vanitas, Kairi and Sora have been spreading it all over the server
<Water_dance> i come back from my well-deserved break and now the Mosspocalypse is here
<Bitbyte> come join us in The End
<Owlette> it's the only way to escape the moss
<Riku> You just left us to fend for ourselves
<Bitbyte> yep we did
<Struggle_Champion> the offer to join us is still open
<Struggle_Champion> we've got dirt, trees and uuuuuuuuh
<Owlette> i made a river to scare the Enderman
<Owlette> it doesn't actually work but at least we have free fish
<Bitbyte> and leather boots
<Owlette> and leather boots!
<Riku> Yeah I think i'm gonna pass on that
<Struggle_Champion> your loss
<Water_dance> can someone come release me from moss prison?
<Bitbyte> i mean it's not like it's obsidian soooooooooo
<Bitbyte> you could just break it yourself
<Water_dance> :( welp guess i'm stuck here then
<Riku> Are you three just going to stay in The End forever?
<Struggle_Champion> pretty sure Kairi's waiting for us to leave The End so she can convince us to join the Mosspocalypse on the side of the moss
<Owlette> oh she definitely is
<Owlette> probably has a secret base right outside the Stronghold
<Riku> She does, I watched her built it while Sora and I ate popcorn
<Owlette> i love being correct
<Bitbyte> that moment when the server's only admin just sits back and lets the Mosspocalypse happen: 😞
<Riku> In my defense I've been friends with both Sora and Kairi for over a decade and i'm pretty sure Vanitas's middle name is 'chaos' so I know that there's really no escaping the moss at this point
<Riku> This is why we've got server backups
<Bitbyte> server backups my beloved
<Struggle_Champion> someone help me the endermites are invading the house!
<Owlette> lol
<Bitbyte> lol
<Water_dance> lol
<Riku> Lol
<Struggle_Champion> can't have shit on this server
<Struggle_Champion> uh oh they're multiplying
Struggle_Champion was hit by Endermite
**********
<Hotwheelz> is the ghast floating outside my window a normal thing or did i miss something?
<Dandelion> So that's where Paul went!
<Hotwheelz> Paul appears to be unfriendly
<darkness> nonsense Paul has never done anything wrong ever in his entire life
<Hotwheelz> i just saw him shoot fireballs at something outside the house
<Skateboards> oh so that's why our forest is suddenly on fire
<Skateboards> that 'something' was ME
<Hotwheelz> oops
<Hotwheelz> sorry Roxas i can't see what's going on on that side
<Hotwheelz> someone removed half the windows in the house and replaced them with pictures of mustached sheep
<Rhythm_game> whoever that was is clearly a genius
<Rhythm_game> top-tier prank right there
<Skateboards> Kairi we all know you were the one who did this
<Skateboards> also
<Skateboards> for absolutely NO reason at all
<Skateboards> do you have real life versions of those pictures?
<Rhythm_game> no but i can print them out
<Rhythm_game> just let me know how many you need and i'll get it done when i can
<Skateboards> awesome
<Dandelion> Hold on, Roxas, what are you planning?
<Skateboards> sssh no spoilers
<Dandelion> I feel fear
<Hotwheelz> is anyone going to do something about Paul or nah?
<darkness> if you leave him alone long enough he'll leave eventually
<darkness> probably
<Hotwheelz> understandable
<Hotwheelz> hey Roxas we're temporarily moving to that mangrove swamp Xion found
<Skateboards> okay
<Skateboards> wait actually that's a great plan
<Skateboards> the Mosspocalypse can't get us there
<Seashells> Give me twenty minutes and I can build a small house for us to live in
<Seashells> Roxas I don't want to alarm you but moss carpets grow on mangriove trees
<Hotwheelz> mangriove
<darkness> mangriove
<Skateboards> mangriove
<Seashells> That wasn't a typo lol
<Seashells> Welcome to mangriove town
<Dandelion> Surprise plot twist!
<Seashells> I hope neither of you mind being surrounded by tiny frog homes
<Hotwheelz> i would never
<Skateboards> knowing tiny frog homes exist has made my entire day
<Dandelion> I helped to make them!
<Dandelion> Hey Xion shouldn't you warn them about the wandering armor stand?
<Hotwheelz> the What?
<Skateboards> should i be worried or ???
<Seashells> The self-moving armor stand hasn't left me alone
<Seashells> It followed me all the way over the ocean to the mangrove biome
<Seashells> Now it lives here in these woods
<Owlette> i thought Pence got it to stop following people?
<Bitbyte> i did!
<Bitbyte> i have no idea why it started again
<Owlette> spooky
**********
SORA joined the game
<SORA> hello!
darkness joined the game
<darkness> greetings
<Brushpaint> Hi! :D
<Rainfell> Good evening!
<Earthskaher> Hello, glad to see you two made it home safe!
<Rainfell> Did your mission go well?
<SORA> it went great!
<darkness> it was a disaster
<Brushpaint> 0_0
<Rainfell> Care to elaborate?
<darkness> nah
<SORA> sure!
<SORA> okay so we got there yesterday somewhere around noon? i forgot to check what time it was but the sun was in the middle of the sky so it definitely wasn't early-morning anymore
<SORA> there was this really cool city so we started exploring there
<SORA> we met lots of really nice people too!
<darkness> but no Heartless in sight
<Brushpaint> isn't that a good thing?
<darkness> the old wizard man said he sensed Darkness on that world
<darkness> more people means more Hearts for the Heartless to prey on
<darkness> finding none means that whatever is there is smart enough to hide when it needs too
<Earthskaher> You were gone for two days so you must've found something though, right?
<darkness> finish the story Sora
<Rainfell> Are you not going to answer Terra's question?
<darkness> no
<darkness> i'm tired and Sora looks like he might explode if he doesn't get to tell the rest of his story like, Right Now
<SORA> !!!
<SORA> i'm really excited! i love going on missions with my friends! seeing different worlds!
<Brushpaint> That kind of makes me wish I had a Keyblade, it'd be fun to go out exploring with all of you
<Rainfell> You don't need to have a Keyblade for that Naminé, we'd love to take you with us sometime!
<Earthskaher> What Aqua said ^
<SORA> we can take the Gummiship! i think it's big enough to fit everyone in?
<Brushpaint> ^_^
<SORA> cool! okay story time
<SORA> we had to stop early because nighttime
<SORA> it gets like SUPER dark really fast on this world
<SORA> we literally couldn't see anything at all
<SORA> we uh... couldn't see where we parked the Gummiship either so we went to a hotel instead
<darkness> they had some really ugly towels
<SORA> i thought they were nice!
<SORA> but anyway,
<SORA> it's the middle of the night and we hear this LOUD crash from somewhere outside
<SORA> Vanitas almost smashed a hole into the wall 'cause it startled him awake
<darkness> i did Not get startled
<SORA> so we both run out with our Keyblades drawn and find a huge Heartless breaking things in the street
<SORA> took us the whole rest of the night and almost the entire next day to finally defeat it
<Rainfell> They really are getting stronger, aren't they? For one fight to take that long...
<darkness> that thing kept running away everytime it's health got too low
<darkness> had to chase it around for hours
<Earthskaher> Hey Vanitas
<darkness> what?
<Earthskaher> Can you explain why I got a Gummiphone message from you earlier today with scrambled letters?
<Earthskaher> I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to say and you didn't send anything else after that
<darkness> it was a temporary moment of weakness
<SORA> was that when the Heartless threw me into a building?
<Brushpaint> A building!?
<darkness> you didn't get back up for a minute and i panicked
<darkness> my Cure spells are shit and the Heartless was still a threat
<Earthskaher> Why text me though? You absolutely can if you ever need help but I wouldn't have gotten there fast enough
<darkness> honestly i just clicked on things without seeing what i was actually doing
<darkness> had to focus on the battle
<SORA> and i was fine! just got knocked out for a bit but i'm not hurt
<Rainfell> I think we may have different opinions on the definition of 'being fine'
<SORA> it really wasn't that bad no need to worry about me
<SORA> that's the whole story i think, nothing else happened
<darkness> yep nothing else
<darkness> Sora i'm stealing some of your blankets because i am exhausted
<darkness> goodnight or whatever
darkness left the game
<Earthskaher> But it's only evening- aaaand he's gone
<SORA> why is he sleeping on the floor? we're still in the Gummiship he could just take one of the beds :/
<SORA> oh wow that's a big unversed
<Rainfell> Those can spawn while he's asleep?
<SORA> i guess? it just carried him to the sleeping rooms
<SORA> i think i'm gonna rest for a few more minutes and then take us home
SORA left the game
<Brushpaint> Did anything else get the feeling that something else happened but they're not telling us what?
<Earthskaher> Yeah
<Rainfell> Definitely
**********
<2x222x33x3> That moment when you’ve been waiting for weeks for someone to show up with important news and when they finally do they just end up messing around instead of doing something actually useful
<555x88x99x88> okay but you have to admit that it’s kinda funny
<2x222x33x3> No
<DefinitelynotSora> stop vaguing about me in the Minecraft chat
<DefinitelynotSora> that's very rude of you
<444x777x2> Why do you refuse to tell us what we are even doing?
<4x88x555x2> Also could you please change your name to something that matches ours?
<DefinitelynotSora> fine
DefinitelynotSora left the game
Cheemse Samswich joined the game
<4x88x555x2> I don't know why I even tried
<444x777x2> You did not spell that correctly
<Cheemse Samswich> it's for the memes, you just wouldn't understand
<Cheemse Samswich> but to answer you earlier question, SOMEONE didn't give me your address and I would prefer to speak in person
<Cheemse Samswich> see my old apprentices again
<444x66x888x444> Which of us was supposed to do that?
<555x88x99x88> oh that was me
<444x777x2> My disappointment is immeasurable
<555x88x99x88> lol guess i forgot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<555x88x99x88> i'll do it later i'm busy right now
<2x222x33x3> With what? You've done nothing except for playing this game while we've all been doing our part to make our mission a success
<2x222x33x3> Whatever the end goal of it actually is, you don't seem that keen on helping out at all
<4x88x555x2> Speaking of the mission, I released that Heartless a few days ago and today something strange happened
<444x66x888x444> What do you mean?
<4x88x555x2> Two of the new Keyblade wielders showed up to defend the world and almost lost against the Heartless
<4x88x555x2> But then the brown-haired one suddenly transformed into some wild creature of Darkness, destroyed the Heartless and took off into the woods
<4x88x555x2> The other wielder gave chase and I lost sight of them after that
<Cheemse Samswich> Sora did what?
<Cheemse Samswich> that doesn't make any sense
<Cheemse Samswich> why didn't I know about this?
<Cheemse Samswich> I need to think about this
Cheemse Samswich left the game
<444x777x2> Does anyone else find it weird that we are using Darkness instead of fighting against it?
<444x777x2> Why did my message get deleted?
<444x777x2> Help

Skateboards joined the game
Riku joined the game
<Riku> ...Hello.
<Skateboards> hi
<Riku> This is really awkward.
<Skateboards> wow i wonder WHY
<Skateboards> i CANNOT believe that yen sid thinks it's a good decision to send you and me on a mission
<Skateboards> without anyone else there, just us
<Riku> I'm starting to question if he actually thinks before sending us out
<Riku> Kairi is convinced he puts all our names in his wizard hat and chooses who gets to go by luck of the draw
<Skateboards> seems plausible to me
Dandelion joined the game
<Dandelion> Is it me or do things feel really tense in the Minecraft chat today?
<Skateboards> yen sid wants me and riku on a mission together
<Dandelion> Can't you just tell him that you don't think it's a good idea?
<Riku> Huh I've never thought of that before
<Skateboards> and if he still insists we can just lie to him and secretly take someone else along
<Dandelion> I don't know what happened between you two but I can tell it wasn't anything good
<Dandelion> You don't have to tell me if you don't want to though
<Skateboards> it's too close to midnight for emotional conversations
<Skateboards> i want to play Minecraft and maybe rearrange all of the items in riku's house to confuse him
<Riku> I am right here
<Skateboards> yeah i know
<Skateboards> i never said if i meant your Minecraft house or your real house
<Riku> I fear the day you and Kairi team up in a prank war
<Skateboards> you better
<Dandelion> Sooooo have either of you ever seen this weird glowing block before?
<Dandelion> Hold on I can send a picture with the Gummiphone
<Skateboards> what the fuck is that
<Riku> I've never seen any block like that before
<Riku> I'll ask Kairi in the morning
<Dandelion> Sounds good, now if anyone needs me I'll be in the house with all the cats Vanitas pranked me with
Notes:
I wonder what block Ventus found :)

Dandelion joined the game
<Dandelion> I am once again asking for someone to help me find my way back to my room
<Dandelion> I am lost and my legs hurt :(
<Skateboards> don't you live there?
<Dandelion> Yeah
<Dandelion> Castle big
<Skateboards> how often does this happen?
<Riku> And why did you take your laptop with you?
<Dandelion> Because I knew I was probably going to get lost
<Dandelion> This happens A LOT
<Dandelion> I swear that all it takes is one wrong turn and suddenly I don't know where I am anymore
<Dandelion> But I did find this really cool room with a giant floating planets mobile and a bunch of books about stars and constellations
<Riku> Are you still there?
<Dandelion> Yeah! I've always loved looking at the stars! Could've stayed here for hours if I didn't still feel a bit tired
darkness joined the game
<darkness> WHY are there sheep inside the nether
<Riku> Someone build a bunch of nether portals in a plains biome.
<darkness> turn them off the sheep are more annoying than Ventus's chickens
<Dandelion> can't you do that yourself?
<darkness> no
<darkness> all i see is sheep and no portals
<Riku> Hey so I don't think this is a normal amount of spawned sheep, there are so many of them that I can't actually get to the portals.
<Riku> They keep pushing me away.
Rhythm_game joined the game
<Rhythm_game> before anyone asks no i am not the one responsible for the nether sheep
<Rhythm_game> Riku be careful
<Riku> Careful of what?
<Riku> Oh
<Rhythm_game> you fell into one of the hidden holes didn't you?
<Riku> I think a sheep pushed me in actually.
<Skateboards> oh great now he's in here too
<Skateboards> hey Kairi how long does this tunnel need to be because i only have one pickaxe left and its about to break
<Rhythm_game> can you see my nametag anywhere?
<Skateboards> no
<Rhythm_game> literally how we've been mining for forever
<Rhythm_game> i can't see yours either
<darkness> has it occured to either of you two to just mine UP instead of trying to find each other?
<Skateboards> yes but this is the funnier option
<Rhythm_game> also we were going to connect all the holes together so if anyone else falls in they can find their way out easier
<Rhythm_game> i had some saplings and torches in my inventory and i've already mined out a whole box for a tree farm so we don't run out of wood
<Rhythm_game> now it's waiting time for them to grow
<Riku> Wait I almost forgot,
<Riku> Kairi can you check your phone?
<Rhythm_game> sure
<Rhythm_game> oh yeah i know which block that is
<Rhythm_game> that's a sculk block
<Dandelion> A what?
<Rhythm_game> congratulations Ven you found the Deep Dark biome!
<Dandelion> I don't know how to feel about that information
<darkness> i hope he spawns the Warden by accident it'd be so funny
<Dandelion> I don't know what that is but now that you've said that I'm going to do my best NOT to do that
<darkness> good luck with that Venty-wenty
<Dandelion> What was that noise??
<Dandelion> WHAT IS THAT THING
Dandelion was slain by Warden
<darkness> i love getting exactly what i wanted
<Skateboards> and there goes my last pickaxe
<Rhythm_game> oof
<Skateboards> welp i guess its time to eat dirt
<Skateboards> oh joy i can see riku's nametag through the wall
<Skateboards> of course i just had to find HIM first
<Riku> Don't come over here I made the grave error of trying to get out of the hole with a staircase and somehow forgot that sheep are only one block wide.
<Riku> I tried mining out a wider area for them to roam around in which did not help at all.
<Riku> They've completely flooded the place.
<Skateboards> riku you have no idea how much this amuses me
<Rhythm_game> i just realized that we're going to have the same problem unless we make a really, really long tunnel
<Rhythm_game> this entire plains biome is filled with sheep and we're somewhere in the middle
<Skateboards> suddenly i am not so amused anymore
<darkness> hey geniuses have any of you thought about just killing the sheep?
<Rhythm_game> tried that but there's just too many of them
<Skateboards> you kill one and its like two more pop up out of nowhere
<darkness> well then i'm all out of ideas
<darkness> i'm gonna go raid the kitchen and annoy Ventus by throwing fries at him
darkness left the game

<Seashells> Welcome to swamp tales where I tell you tales from the mangrove swamp around Mangriove town for the low low price of One copper ingot
<Owlette> finally a good use for all the random copper i've got scattered around my house
<Seashells> I thought you were hiding out in The End to escape the mosspocalypse? How are you going to bring me the copper?
<Owlette> don't worry i'm very sneaky
<Brushpaint> What kind of tales are they?
<Seashells> Anything from frog shenanigans to the struggles of building a working indoor light system to the horrors that live within the swamp
<Earthskaher> What is going on in that swamp??
<Hotwheelz> for a small preview of our regular nonsense i will give you the very short story of that one time i got lost in the swamp and couldn't find my way back to Mangriove town
<Hotwheelz> but it turns out that i was walking in circles around it the whole time and i was basically right beside the thing for about an hour or so
<Seashells> Me and Roxas watched you do that from atop the tree house and unanimously decided to say nothing and see how long it would take for you to realize
<Seashells> We made bets too
<Seashells> I won
<Earthskaher> That doesn't explain 'the horrors'
<Seashells> The moving armor stand is still here somewhere
<Seashells> Sometimes I spot it moving around between the trees
<Hotwheelz> it stole a stack of cooked chicken right out of my hand once
<Owlette> it can do that?
<Hotwheelz> apparently
<Brushpaint> If I bring over some copper can we have a frog story instead of a horror story?
<Seashells> Of course! Whoever brings the copper gets to choose
<Brushpaint> ^_^
<Seashells> ^_^
<Owlette> i'll bring some of mine over when i'm done expanding the river
<Owlette> probably gonna take a while because this is a BIG project
<Seashells> That's fine the offer will remain open even after enough copper has been collected
<Owlette> imagine i just send you a thumbs up emoji
<Earthskaher> We USED to have copper but I don't know where that disappeared to
<Earthskaher> It might have been stolen by Vanitas's Flood
<Earthskaher> Or Vanitas himself
<Hotwheelz> nah ours is gone too
<Hotwheelz> and neither of them were online when that happened
<Seashells> The sudden vanishing of our copper is why I asked for it
<Seashells> I need it to build more frog homes
<Earthskaher> That's weird
<Earthskaher> Who loves copper so much that they'd steal for it?
<Owlette> maybe the armor stand did it
<Brushpaint> It just took mine out of my inventory?
<Brushpaint> I wasn't even holding it in my hand?
<Owlette> rude
<Seashells> Alright people swamp tales are on hold until we chase down that armor stand
<Seashells> Naminé did you see where it went?
<Brushpaint> Somewhere into the swamp
<Brushpaint> It moves a lot faster than I expected
<Hotwheelz> what did Pence DO to that thing?
Bitbyte joined the game
<Bitbyte> i have no idea
<Bitbyte> i didn't program it to do ANY of this
<Bitbyte> it was just meant to follow players around as a funny joke
<Bitbyte> it shouldn't be stealing things out of anyone's inventories
<Earthskaher> Should we get a team together and search the swamp?
<Seashells> Probably yes
<Hotwheelz> we should wait until Roxas can join us
<Hotwheelz> he's had some of his items stolen by the armor stand too
<Seashells> Yeah he wouldn't want to miss out on this
<Owlette> let me know when you all are ready i want to join in
<Seashells> Sure! :D
<Owlette> :D
**********
Water_dance joined the game
<Water_dance> huh my tree has stopped moving
<Water_dance> where am i?
<Eternal_flowers> Have you actually just been standing on that tree the whole time?
<Water_dance> yeah!
<Eternal_flowers> Why would you do that?
<Water_dance> why not?
<CracklingLightning> i don't care about your tree adventures i have something much more important to talk about
<Water_dance> :(
<Eternal_flowers> Did something happen while you were out today?
<CracklingLightning> yes
<CracklingLightning> some weird guy in a unicorn mask approached me and started talking to me
<CracklingLightning> never met this guy before in my life
<Water_dance> maybe dude was just cosplaying?
<CracklingLightning> Demyx he knew my name
<Water_dance> oh
<Eternal_flowers> okay that's creepy
<CracklingLightning> the mask wasn't the weird part, the weird part was that he said something about keyblades
<Eternal_flowers> What did he say?
<CracklingLightning> i don't know there were too many annoying loud people around us all i heard was the word 'keyblade'
<CracklingLightning> and then i left because i am not dealing with those things again
<CracklingLightning> before either of you ask yes i'm sure he said 'keyblade'
<Eternal_flowers> That is both concerning and confusing
<CracklingLightning> exactly which is why i am now going to play Minecraft and not think about this again
<Eternal_flowers> Is that a good idea?
<CracklingLightning> i don't care, it's not my problem
<CracklingLightning> you can go investigate or whatever
<CracklingLightning> if you REALLY wanted to i guess
<Eternal_flowers> Maybe later, after i've finally finished the Bloom Room
<Water_dance> what is the 'Bloom Room'?
<Eternal_flowers> My collection of every single flower and other plant that is collectible in Minecraft
<Water_dance> that sounds like a lot of effort
<Eternal_flowers> It is my proudest creation
<Water_dance> 🥀
<Eternal_flowers> Is that an emoji? What??
<CracklingLightning> How Did You Do That?
<Water_dance> lol
Water_dance left the game
**********
<Owlette> i wish to inform all of us The End citizens that the chests are overflowing with fish
<Owlette> also a good chunk of our house has been stolen by the enderman
<Bitbyte> question: why did we decide to build the house out of cobblestone then?
<Owlette> idk ask Hayner
<Struggle_Champion> it was the only other block i had that wasn't end stone or dirt
<Struggle_Champion> we needed the dirt for trees and end brick on end stone would look ugly
<Bitbyte> alright who wants to risk going back to the Overworld for blocks that won't get stolen?
<Owlette> me
<Owlette> i needed to go to the Overworld anyways
<Owlette> we're starting to run out of dirt blocks
<Owlette> how big were we planning on making the forest again?
<Bitbyte> we had a plan?
<Struggle_Champion> originally no but our two a.m. selves thought it'd be funny to make the forest so large someone could get lost in it and honestly i agree with that
<Owlette> same
<Bitbyte> yeah me too
<Struggle_Champion> we're definitely going to regret doing this later
<Owlette> absolutely
<Bitbyte> it's gonna haunt us for sure
<Struggle_Champion> guess that'll be future us's problem
<Struggle_Champion> anyways who's up for some ice cream?
<Bitbyte> me
<Owlette> me two
<Struggle_Champion> me three
Struggle_Champion left the game
Owlette left the game
Bitbyte left the game

<darkness> moss
<Rhythm_game> moss
<SORA> moss
<flood> zbff
<Rhythm_game> so how's the mossification of the server going?
<SORA> uuuuuuuuh
<SORA> i'm stuck in an azalea tree
<Rhythm_game> you're what?
<SORA> i was placing bonemeal on the moss around me while standing on one of those flower bushes
<SORA> and i accidentally clicked on that bush and suddenly all i saw was tree
<darkness> just break the tree
<SORA> i did
<SORA> i think your Flood may have gotten a little click-happy and surrounded me with more trees
<flood> vyvxrgerrf
<Rhythm_game> damn now both of us are trapped
<darkness> are you STILL getting bested by sheep?
<Rhythm_game> Vanitas you would not believe how many of them there are
<Rhythm_game> actually wait yes you can since a bunch of them have infiltrated the nether
<darkness> i have acquired several stacks of mutton
<darkness> also i found one of the portals they're using to get in here
<darkness> if i destroy the one on my side will the same happen to the portal in the overworld?
<Rhythm_game> i have no idea
<Rhythm_game> but it can't hurt to try
<SORA> i'm free!
<SORA> wait what's this about sheep?
<Rhythm_game> someone left a stupid amount of sheep in a plains biome and me, Roxas and Riku have been trying to get rid of them for several hours now
<SORA> that is really weird
<darkness> this isn't even a funny prank it's just an annoying one
Skateboards joined the game
<Skateboards> you four literally started the mosspocalypse
<flood> vqrfverzberzbffgurervfabgrabhtuzbff
<Rhythm_game> and we'd clean all of it up the second someone asked
<Rhythm_game> a prank isn't funny if people get annoyed by it
<SORA> we want laughter not anger
<SORA> do you want us to stop?
<Skateboards> nah the mosspocalypse is funny
<Skateboards> keep it going
<SORA> 👍
<Skateboards> SORA
<SORA> Kairi can you let me know where you are? i'm coming to help you!
<Rhythm_game> awesome
<Rhythm_game> we're somewhere near our house
<Rhythm_game> you'll probably find us if you just keep walking past the birch forest
<Skateboards> the massive horde of sheep might tip you off
<SORA> got it! i'll be right there!
Dandelion joined the game
<Dandelion> I've made it back to my room and am ready for round two against the Warden
<darkness> get ready to lose again
<Dandelion> You wish
<Dandelion> I saw a chest and I want loot
<Dandelion> I know what I'm dealing with this time
<darkness> do you?
<Dandelion> That thing reacts to noise, doesn't it? So all I have to do is sneak past it!
<darkness> how the fuck did you figure that out
<Dandelion> I asked Kairi
<Rhythm_game> my knowledge of the hit videogame Minecraft is vast
<Dandelion> I think I just heard the Warden spawn
<Dandelion> and now I can't see anything
Dandelion was slain by Warden
<darkness> hahahaha
<Dandelion> I'm not giving up yet!
<darkness> lol okay
<darkness> hey Roxas
<Skateboards> no
<darkness> 🐑
<Skateboards> i hate everything
<SORA> i've found you guys! hello!
<Skateboards> i hate everything EXCEPT Sora
<SORA> wow this really is a lot of sheep
<SORA> hold on what is this?
<Rhythm_game> what is what?
<SORA> there's a hidden cave here with one of those command blocks and it just keeps spawning more sheep
<SORA> i see a trail of redstone
<Rhythm_game> stay there i'm going to try and get past the sheep
<Skateboards> me too i want to witness the command block's destruction
Riku joined the game
<Riku> Why do I have a hundred messages telling me to get on the server?
<SORA> RIKU
<SORA> come see what i found!
<Skateboards> get over here quick we're going to watch Kairi absolutely wreck this one stupid command block
<Rhythm_game> i'm tossing it into lava this thing will never see the light of day again
<Riku> I need to see this
<Riku> Thank you for setting us free Sora
<SORA> you're welcome!
<Riku> Are we taking the redstone for ourselves or should we watch it burn too?
<Skateboards> throw it into the flames
<Rhythm_game> i was thinking exactly the same thing
<Rhythm_game> goodbye endless sheep spawner we won't miss you
<Dandelion> Hey so I just killed a skeleton next to this weird block and more sculk blocks appeared?
<Rhythm_game> that's probably a catalyst it spreads the Sculk when something that drops exp dies near it
<Dandelion> It SPREADS you say
<SORA> uh oh
<Rhythm_game> oh no
<flood> jrnervagebhoyr
<darkness> fuck
<Dandelion> The mosspocalypse might want to prepare for a new challenger
<darkness> do your worst
<Dandelion> You're going to regret saying that
Notes:
I did some shiny hunting in Pokemon Sword during the writing of this chapter and got nothing :/. It would've been really funny if I happened upon a shiny Wooloo but alas, no sparkles for me.
Chapter 26: The hunt for the armor stand
Chapter Text
<Seashells> Now that Roxas has finally been freed from sheep prison it's time to get that armor stand!
<Seashells> If everyone could please make their way over to Mangriove Town that would be great
<Earthskaher> I'm already here and surrounded by frogs
<Earthskaher> They make a lot more noise than I thought they would
<Hotwheelz> i turned off all Minecraft sounds after i started hearing the croaking in my sleep
<Skateboards> that might be why the creepers keep sneaking up on you
<Skateboards> and literally every other mob including the armor stand
<Earthskaher> That thing makes a sound?
<Seashells> Yes and its probably the creepiest one i've ever heard
<Seashells> I thought there was something wrong with my laptop when I heard it the first time
<Brushpaint> What does it sound like?
<Skateboards> like footsteps mixed with static and the horrible screeching of nails on a chalkboard
<Skateboards> i actually summoned both of my Keyblades because i thought it was a Heartless that had gotten into the house
<Skateboards> it stole half my inventory while i was distracted trying to find the non-existent Heartless
<Owlette> i'm here and ready to hunt the armor stand down!
<Seashells> You made it past Kairi's Moss Fortress without being spotted?
<Owlette> The Moss Fortress is impressive but my sneaking skills are peak
<Bitbyte> i am also here
<Bitbyte> i need to know what happened to my beautiful creation
<Bitbyte> why is it doing things i never programmed it to do
<Skateboards> maybe it grew a Heart?
<Owlette> *grows Heart, immediately decides to cause problems*
<Seashells> Honestly that's valid
<Seashells> Are we all ready to go now?
<Hotwheelz> give me a few extra minutes i'm trying to find extra supplies but our storage is horrible
<Hotwheelz> who organized these chests?
<Skateboards> you did
<Hotwheelz> oh yeah i forgot i did that
<Hotwheelz> welp i guess we'll just have to make do with what we've got because i cannot find anything useful
<Seashells> I believe in us
<Seashells> We can do this!
<Brushpaint> Let's get our things back!
<Skateboards> yeah!
**********
<Dandelion> Getting the sculk to spread is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be
<Dandelion> Why doesn't it just work like the moss does
<darkness> having some trouble there Ventus?
<darkness> not so easy to command the Darkness is it?
<Dandelion> Vanitas it is literally just a Minecraft block what are you talking about
<darkness> there's a place in the Realm of Darkness that kind of looks like the Deep Dark
<darkness> it doesn't spread or summon giant creatures but it does have these weird plants growing from the ceiling
<Rainfell> The fruits of those plants are edible
<Rainfell> It's a gamble what flavor you'll get but they're not that bad otherwise
<Dandelion> Wait Aqua how do you know that?
<Rainfell> I was lost and desperate
<Dandelion> What if they weren't safe to eat? Why would you take that risk?
<darkness> the need to survive can make you do a lot of weird shit Ventus
<darkness> i tried to eat a cactus once and it was a horrible experience
<Rainfell> You tried to eat a cactus?
<darkness> don't judge me you literally ate fruit from the Realm of Darkness
<Rainfell> The fruits did not have sharp spikes attached to them
<darkness> i got rid of those first do i look like an idiot to you?
<Dandelion> But that must have taken forever!
<darkness> i had the Unversed to help me it really didn't take that long
<darkness> still tasted horrible though and i don't recommend it
<Rainfell> Some cacti are edible but most aren't
<Rainfell> I wouldn't have gone for the fruit either if I was in any other situation
<Dandelion> I'm happy you're safe at home now and no longer in that awful place
<Rainfell> Me too
<Rainfell> I do not miss sleeping on rough moss in Heartless invested caverns
<darkness> it's not an investation if they live there
<Dandelion> Hey Vanitas I just realized something
<Dandelion> Why do you know all these things about the Realm of Darkness?
<darkness> because i go there sometimes duh
<darkness> it's quiet in there
<darkness> and no Heartless dares to attack me because they mistakenly think i'm one of them
<darkness> also the giant horde of unversed can't forget about that
<Dandelion> I found a mob spawner!
<Dandelion> This will make spreading the sculk a lot easier
<Dandelion> Team moss had better prepare themselves
<darkness> oh we've been ready for several hours Ventus
<darkness> good luck trying to stop us now
<darkness> you're going to need it
**********
<Bitbyte> i don't want to bring anyone's mood down but do any of us know where we're even going?
<Bitbyte> all these mangrove trees look the same to me
<Hotwheelz> we have no idea where the armor stand lives so our best bet is to just stumble upon it
<Skateboards> incorrect me and Xion have a plan
<Owlette> is the plan to get lost in the swamp?
<Skateboards> no
<Seashells> We're tactically lost
<Brushpaint> I don't think those two words make sense together
<Skateboards> do you trust us?
<Brushpaint> Yes
<Owlette> probably
<Bitbyte> potentially
<Seashells> Don't worry we've got it all figured out
<Earthskaher> In the meantime would anyone like to hear a story?
<Earthskaher> I found an old book in our library that has a few interesting ones
<Brushpaint> They're not horror stories right?
<Earthskaher> No it just looks like some legends and myths
<Bitbyte> 👍
<Skateboards> Pence i swear the next time you invite me over i'm releasing several alive lobsters in your house
<Bitbyte> i have nothing to fear you would never actually do something that hurts innocent creatures like that
<Owlette> where would you even get the lobsters?
<Skateboards> a river probably
<Hotwheelz> for absolutely no reason in particular i would advise against attempting to catch a lobster
<Seashells> So basically that means you've tried before and it did not go well
<Hotwheelz> i do not wish to percieve the mistakes of my youth
<Brushpaint> So the castle Oblivion lobster incident had nothing to do with you?
<Hotwheelz> Marluxia insulted me to my face and i simply could not let that slide
<Bitbyte> we're getting off track
<Bitbyte> i want to hear Terra tell a story
<Bitbyte> tell me more about the lobsters later though
<Hotwheelz> you should ask Naminé for the details all i did was let them loose and enjoy the chaos
<Bitbyte> 👍
<Skateboards> i'm going to pretend i didn't see that
<Earthskaher> It's not a very long story but okay i'll type it here
<Earthskaher> Some pages aren't readable anymore because the ink got smushed by what I'm going to assume is water but the gist of it is that there's a bear and a unicorn and for some reason the bear is really jealous of the unicorn
<Owlette> that just sounds like it comes from a children's storybook
<Earthskaher> No it gets pretty graphic at certain parts
<Earthskaher> The book describes them fighting each other at some point
<Earthskaher> Oh this thing is a lot more damaged than I thought there are whole pages missing
<Earthskaher> There might be more animals involved but the words are too scratched out or smudged to read properly
<Skateboards> where did you even find it?
<Earthskaher> In a very dusty corner of the library covered in spiderwebs
<Earthskaher> And spiders
<Seashells> Speaking of spiders do you all still have the spider eyes me and Roxas gave you?
<Owlette> are they perhaps important for your plan?
<Skateboards> VERY important
<Skateboards> it's the one item the armor stand always steals the most of
<Seashells> We're hoping to lure it to us
<Seashells> And once it does we'll follow it back to its lair
<Skateboards> it's a foolproof plan
<Owlette> did anyone else hear that?
<Skateboards> hear what?
<Owlette> that noise just now
<Seashells> I think the armor stand has found us
<Seashells> Yep there it is let's chase after it!
<Earthskaher> How is it THIS fast???
<Skateboards> don't chat unless you want to fall behind!
**********
<4x88x555x2> Which of you keeps stealing my cows?
<444x777x2> No one is stealing your cows
<4x88x555x2> Sounds like something a cow-stealer would say!
<444x66x888x444> Maybe you just miscounted them?
<4x88x555x2> I am certain that I did not miscount
<555x88x99x88> i don't even know what cows are
<4x88x555x2> Well that's that mystery solved
<4x88x555x2> Why are you stealing my cows?
<555x88x99x88> i have done nothing
<444x66x888x444> You're obviously lying about not knowing what cows are and the way you said it is suspicious
<444x66x888x444> So I agree that it it was likely you that stole them
<555x88x99x88> lol
<2x222x33x3> Is this really the kind of nonsense this server has come to
<2x222x33x3> I believe we were supposed to be here for a serious matter
<2x222x33x3> Yet I have seen none of that
<444x777x2> I have attempted to share my concerns as well but it appears my messages do not always come through
<4x88x555x2> What does that mean?
<444x777x2> We are meant to fight against Darkness not aid it so why are we using these Heartless creatures?
<444x777x2> It happened again
<444x777x2> The message was deleted immediately after I send it
<444x66x888x444> That is very strange indeed
<555x88x99x88> maybe your internet just sucks
<4x88x555x2> It can do that to only one person even when we're all in the same house?
<555x88x99x88> how should i know?
<2x222x33x3> You are the one who brought it up
<555x88x99x88> i was just throwing out a theory
<555x88x99x88> stop taking everything so seriously all the time
<444x66x888x444> I am beginning to understand why I get so many headaches everytime I play on this server
**********
<Hotwheelz> why did that thing have to lead us to the second creepiest thing i've ever seen in my entire life?
<Hotwheelz> what kind of trees even are these?
<Owlette> excuse me the SECOND creepiest thing?
<Hotwheelz> the first is Vexen's weird lab
<Seashells> Yeah that makes sense
<Skateboards> we walked in there by accident once and let me just say we never opened any doors to unknown rooms again
<Bitbyte> those are just crimson wood logs
<Bitbyte> they come from the Nether
<Earthskaher> Then what are they doing here?
<Bitbyte> idk
<Brushpaint> Do you think this is the armor stand's lair?
<Skateboards> only one way to find out
<Hotwheelz> why does it feel as though we're about to walk into the basement in a horror movie?
<Seashells> Probably because these stairs are taking us underground
<Owlette> i can hear spiders
<Bitbyte> that sounds like a LOT of spiders
<Earthskaher> The armor stand does seem to really like their eyes
<Skateboards> i would like to inform everyone that if we walk into a nest of spiders i'm going to turn around and go back up the stairs
<Seashells> I thought you liked spiders?
<Skateboards> i like the real life little spiders not the ones that are the size of my head
<Seashells> Is this about that sleepover we had with Sora on Destiny Islands?
<Skateboards> okay so i know Sora said they weren't dangerous to humans and usually friendly but it was literally hanging right above me while i was trying to sleep
<Earthskaher> I don't think we have to worry about a possible spider nest
<Earthskaher> We seem to have reached the end of the tunnel and the noises are quieter
<Brushpaint> It's so dark down here I can't see a thing
<Hotwheelz> nobody panic i have brought a flint and steel
<Owlette> why didn't you just bring torches?
<Hotwheelz> fire is my brand
<Skateboards> just don't set any of us on fire
<Seashells> Woah this room is bigger than I was expecting it to be
<Seashells> There's so many chests
<Bitbyte> this must be where the armor stand is keeping all of its stolen stuff
<Bitbyte> hey is that a command block? how did that get in here?
<Hotwheelz> someone help me i'm being chased
<Brushpaint> I think the armor stand wants your flint and steel
<Earthskaher> Maybe we shouldn't give that thing access to fire
<Skateboards> how do we make it stop moving?
<Bitbyte> working on that right now, this command block is what's making it do everything
<Skateboards> so it doesn't have a Heart?
<Bitbyte> no its just code doing code things
<Owlette> are we sure that's not YOUR command block? the one that went missing?
<Seashells> Missing?
<Bitbyte> yeah i had like four of them and then one day i logged on and only had three left
<Hotwheelz> can we maybe talk about this when i'm not being chased by a fire-hungry armor stand?
<Bitbyte> oh right sorry
<Bitbyte> there now it should have stopped moving
<Skateboards> seeing that thing stand completely still is somehow more unnerving than seeing it move on its own
<Earthskaher> What are we going to do with it?
<Bitbyte> i guess i'll take it back? no idea what i'm gonna do with it afterwards though
<Brushpaint> I have a question
<Brushpaint> Who made the armor stand steal things from people and store all the stolen stuff here?
<Hotwheelz> that's a good question
<Hotwheelz> i can't think of anyone that would do that
<Seashells> At least not without taking the credit
<Seashells> Vanitas would probably find this funny but he'd never stay quiet about it
<Brushpaint> This is reminding me of the time someone got into the server and started doing weird things
<Skateboards> like with the ender eyes on trees?
<Brushpaint> Yeah!
<Earthskaher> I thought we were supposed to be safe from anything like that happening again?
<Seashells> So did I
<Owlette> guess we've got another mystery to solve
<Owlette> who wants to do the honours and blow up Riku's phone with messages?
<Skateboards> me
<Skateboards> wait what am i supposed to tell him?
<Hotwheelz> that someone might be messing with the server again
<Skateboards> okay
**********
<SORA> would it be too much to build a rabbit pen in the Moss Fortress or nah?
<Rhythm_game> lol no we have horse stables too
<Rhythm_game> also do we have more iron somewhere i can't find any
<SORA> we used most of it up for the lanterns
<SORA> so many lanterns
<SORA> there might be a bit left at our house i think
<darkness> we're not going to have time to get that
<darkness> Ventus is here
<Dandelion> I am in awe
<Dandelion> Is this entire thing made of moss?
<Rhythm_game> mostly yeah
<darkness> still think your sculk stands a chance against us?
<flood> gurZbffcbpnylcfrjvyyehyrgurfreire!
<Dandelion> Don't underestimate us
<SORA> 'us'?
<Dandelion> I found someone who can help me spread the sculk
<Water_dance> i like easy jobs
<Water_dance> all i have to do is stand in front of the mob farm and occasionally click the left mouse button!
<Water_dance> minimum effort required
<darkness> that's still only two people you're outnumbered Ventus
<flood> vqbabgsrnegurznabsjngre
<SORA> maybe we shouldn't count on just having more people to win
<SORA> i once fought a thousand Heartless by myself and won
<Rhythm_game> hey Sora where were Donald and Goofy when you were doing that?
<SORA> probably fighting their own group of Heartless we got separated for a moment
<Rhythm_game> hmm
<Dandelion> I originally just came here to spy on team Moss but now I'm just impressed
<Dandelion> The Moss Fortress looks really cool!
<darkness> this was your attempt at stealth?
<SORA> do you want to see the horses? we still need names for some of them also they're on the second floor so sorry about the amount of stairs you'll have to climb
<Dandelion> This was my plan all along Vanitas, being friends with Sora means no stealth is needed
<darkness> i hate that that plan worked
<Rhythm_game> i feel like i am forgetting something
Riku joined the game
<Riku> Kairi, Sora, where have you two been? I just spend like five hours listening to Yen Sid explain some stuff about our next mission and neither of you were there.
<Rhythm_game> oh so that's what i forgot!
<Rhythm_game> sorry Riku
<Riku> It's fine I don't think either of you could've stood still for that long anyway.
<Riku> I was literally falling half asleep by the end.
<Riku> Why do I have over 400 messages on my Gummiphone?
Skateboards joined the game
<Skateboards> finally i have been trying to reach you for hours
<Riku> Sorry I always put my Gummiphone on mute during those meetings.
<Skateboards> you should put it on full volume next time it'll be funny
<Skateboards> also someone's messing around with the server again
<Riku> Yeah I saw that inbetween the many memes and various misspellings of my name.
<Skateboards> some of those were on purpose and some were me not even looking at what i was typing
<Riku> I'm going to ask Chip and Dale if they can do a whole sweep of the server it might help us find who's doing this faster than waiting to catch them at the right moment.
Riku left the game
<Dandelion> Hey Roxas how do you feel about joining team Sculk?
<Skateboards> i accept bribery
