Every Christmas, the lifestealers gather, putting everything aside from the current season, and celebrate as a group. This year was a little different than normal because this time they had some friends with them, and that list also happens to include a few of their former server mates.
Minute and Pangi sit at the spawn, greeting all their friends as they join. Minute is currently chatting with Clown's friends, Rasplin, and Ferre
Minute tells the duo where to go to find clown who is helping direct people to the party set up, which Squidoo Midmystics and Jojo built, and they head off, finding Clown soon after
Pangi turns to the admin and asks “So when do you think Kab Parrot Subs and Vortex will join”
“I don't know about Kab and Subs, but Woogie said he would be over when Parrot and Vortex are about to join,” Minute said
The duo then sees Kab log on and go over and greet her
“Yo kab” Pangi said
“Hey Pangi, thanks so much for inviting me, guys, I didn't think I would get invited again”
“We did invite a lot of the old members, but most of them said no. The only ones that agreed were you, Subs, Parrot, and Vortex.” Pangi replied
“Well, technically, Vortex isn't an old member.” Minute starts to explain but gets cut off by Pangi
“Don't get technical about it, Minute Vortex never logs on. That man is way too busy with other projects to log on,” Pangi said
“Well, Kab, your brother is somewhere leading people to where the party is at, so you can go find him,” Pangi adds.
“Clown isn't my actual brother, but sure, I will go find clown,” Kab replied
“Oh, we know we just all like messing with you two” Minute said
As soon as Kab leaves Subs joins
“Yooo Subs my man” Pangi said
“Hey Pangi hey Minute thanks so much for the invite” Subs said
“no problem im just glad you responded some people didn't” Minute replied
“Like who” Subs asked
“I'm going to be respectful and not say who declined the invite” Minute said
“That's fair but now point me in the direction of this party so I can go have some fun”
“Start walking down the path and clown will direct you the rest of the way” Pangi said
“Alright cool” Subs said and starts down the path
After a few minutes Minute's coms then beeps with a message from Woogie
“Looks like Parrot and Vortex might be joining soon because Woogie is coming over” Minute said reading the message
“Let's go” pangi said excitedly
Everyone on lifesteal has missed the avian even though a few of them have been involved in other projects he's been working on but him being on lifesteal is always a treat last time he was on they raised a whole lot of money for charity but that involved a lot of violence so a lot of the server is happy to have him on for reasons that don't include violence and being the one that started this traditions way back during season 2 it felt fitting to invite him to this one
Well actually it did start during season 1 but no one involved in season 1 of the server likes to talk about season 1 mainly the two who were the admins at the time Mappic and Jepexx new members have been told by others to just never bring up season 1 and no one knows why
After a little while Woogie arrives making a grand entrance of dying due to his elytra breaking causing him to fall into a hole and since it's a special day Minute teleports Woogie back to them and he picks up his stuff
“Sorry for that.” Woogie said apologizing
“That was so funny Woogie, I don't think anyone will care.” Pangi said in between laughs
All three of them have their coms go off with people asking in that main chat what happened because all they saw was Woogie dying from falling damage
Woogie replies to everyone asking that he forgot to repair his elytra and it broke and he fell into a hole causing him to take a lot of damage and die instantly
As soon as everyone starts replying to Woogie's message the avian and the dragon they have been waiting for both join
“Yoo Vortex and Parrot” Woogie said to his two best friends
“WOOGIE” Vortex says excitedly hugging the arctic wolf
“Wait Woogie did you die from fall damage before we got here” Parrot said trying to hold back laughing as he looked through chat
“Yeah I did” Woogie said sheepishly
“Oh I am not going to let you live that down the whole night,” Woogie Parrot said
“Yeah same.” Vortex said
“Oh come on I hate you two being on here already” Woogie said
“Alright if you say so we can leave then” Parrot replied
“No no no I was joking please stay” Woogie said hurriedly
“I knew you were joking I just wanted to scare you” Parrot said
“I hope this doesn't become a trend the whole night you three” Minute said, but the trio doesn't listen, the only one that pays attention is Pangi
“Oh, it will” Pangi said
“How do you know that? Minute replied
Oh, right, you joined after Vortex and Parrot stopped playing. This is a very common occurrence when the three of them are in a room together. Vortex and Parrot will always gang up on Woogie and jokingly bully him until he leaves
Oh, that doesn't seem nice Minute said
“Eh, it's just how their friendship works, they act more like sibling when it’s just the three of them, you get used to it after a while” Pangi said
“Alright, well, shall we go to the party?” Minute said the trio finally listening to him this time.
“Oh, right, forgot we weren't here just to bully Woogie.” Parrot said
“Let's go celebrate the Christmas holiday with everyone,” pangi said excitedly.
The group of five then all go over to the party area and all split up. Pangi goes to hang out with pili and lukey, whom they both invited. Woogie Vortex and Parrot go to where the food is, and Minute goes and finds the other two admins so they can kick off the celebration.
While everyone is celebrating, Parrot vortex start bullying Woogie again over by the food table
“Oh would you stop” Woogie said
“You are literally at 6 hearts that's so funny I'm sorry” Parrot said
“I can't help that there's so many good players on the server now its not my fault” Woogie said
“It kind of is Woogie it shows your just bad” Vortex replies
“Am not” Woogie said
“I'm joking Woogie your talented in your own way” Vortex said
Vortex and Woogie then both notice Parrot looking at everyone smiling
“Why are you so happy tonight, Parrot” Woogie asks.
“I'm just glad that we all can get together once a year and celebrate. It's very nice that this tradition is still going all these seasons later.”
“You know, I'm glad you started this Parrot.” Woogie replied
“Yeah, but also this is the 3rd time you have died at one of these, Woogie” Parrot said
“Oh, come on, shut up, Parrot,” Woogie said
“They are acting kind of like us two Clown” Kab said nudging the person she considers her brother to look at the three over by the food table
“But at least we don't bully each other” Clown replies
“Fair enough true but we definitely have our own form of banter between us” Kab said
Luckily, Mappic Minute and Bacon start the special festivities before Parrot and Vortex can start bullying Woogie again.
