Chapter Text
It started out as a text to the group chat. A fleeting idea, one that he thought wouldn’t grow into anything more.
That was, until Pantalone offered to throw some (rather insignificant) fifty thousand Mora at the idea, and suddenly Dottore was setting up a Minecraft server and choosing a seed.

“You should’ve fucking waited.” Scaramouche snapped at Dottore as soon as the other man joined the voice chat.
“Cope?” Pantalone’s quality was intentionally shitty, he was practically swallowing his mic in an attempt to blow out Scaramouche’s eardrums. The short fucker let out an irritated noise that was drowned out by Dottore’s ‘priority speaker’ privileges.

“Okay, I know a desert spawn is pretty bad, but I know the seed. There should be a cherry tree forest somewhere, about a thousand blocks away. I was thinking that could be for the base.”
“And you can’t even give us a direction? Lame.”
“Shut the fuck up, Tartaglia!” Scaramouche’s voice was even more irritated than before.
“Can we please be civil?” Dottore spoke up, trying to stop anything before it got out of hand. And of course, with the Harbingers, it always got out of hand.

“I see a mangrove biome to the West,” Arlecchino muttered after a long, awkward silence.

“Where are the other two going?” Tartaglia asked.
“I don’t know, I can’t see the—”

“How the fuck do they already have iron? It’s been like three minutes...” Scaramouche grumbled.

<Tartagalicious_> ???????????????????????
<boo_tao_> grindset
“So... Are y’all seeing this, or is it just me?” Tartaglia asked with a nervous laugh, staring in bewilderment at the four achievements this ‘boo_tao_’ had gotten in the span of two minutes.
Scaramouche finally glanced over at the chat, eyes widening. “What the fu—”
| boo_tao_ has made the Advancement [Diamonds!]
<Tartagalicious_> STOP IT
<boo_tao_> nuh uh
<boo_tao_> grindset
<scaramouchee> im gonna kill you
<boo_tao_> ok stone sword
“Is she speedrunning or something?” Arlecchino wondered, still in the same quiet voice.
“It’s fine, we can’t go to the End yet anyway. I was thinking of just closing it off until everyone wanted to do it together.” Dottore’s tone was reassuring as he flitted through the many commands he had access to.

“Can you guys go to the cherry tree biome or whatever? I’m gonna get us some iron.” Scaramouche was annoyed, obviously. Something in his nature would not let himself be one-upped by some random and especially not by some random with underscores in their name.
Tartaglia snorted. “Are you trying to compete with them?”
| xX_K43Y4_Xx was slain by dw_diluc

Sandrone joined both the server and the voice chat at the same time, coughing into her mic (unintentionally, and definitely not to piss Scaramouche off) as soon as she connected. “How long has the server been up?” She asked in an almost wary tone.
“Less than an hour,” Pantalone replied.
“Less than thirty fucking minutes,” Scaramouche muttered, rolling his eyes and waiting for more of his iron to smelt.
Pantalone sighed before he responded. “Anyway, we’re at the cherry tree biome. Arlecchino and I can start building a place for storage.”
“And I’m gonna steal it all~” Tartaglia sang, already chopping down trees.
“Can you not deforest the entire biome? At least replant the trees later.”
“Fine...”
All was quite peaceful for three minutes. Scaramouche continued to mine for iron, amassing about thirty-two ingots.
