Everyone has someone … everyone but 7n7 

The hacker 

The explorer 

The father of Coolkid 

He understands why he's not liked… but it can still hurt, in a place like this,  the worst thing to do is make someone not feel welcome

007n7 was sat away from the cabin,  he didn't want to  interrupt the rest . Coding on his gul , modding someone  code so he could be more useful doing  rounds . Adding a cloning ability that can affect objects intending to use it on medkits for the others 

Testing the code led to a bottle of medication he received falling on the floor in front of him, he looks at the white pill bottle … before he could think about what he was doing,  he grabbed the bottle, going to the small  closet and getting it , Taking a handful of the pills, as he's Consciousness slowly started going , he smiled as he was finally not a bother 

It has been a week, the others started getting concerned,  yes - many hated seven but being missing for a full week? He hadn't even been to the main cabin to get the leftovers of the food after people had finished … hell no one has seen the father in the rounds! That only happens when someone is unfit to live the round .

Change went to check on him , they noticed the door was unlocked , he opened the door slowly – not wanting to disturb 7n7 if he was ill and sleeping … but he wasn't? Change started looking around, seven has to be some - he did find him tho … not how he wanted to tho

Elliot made his way over to the cabin, really to beat the code out of the ex-hacker if he even looked at  Chance the wrong way , That must be why he screamed right? 

He opened the door … oh , that's  Why he was yelling 

Back in the main cabin, 007n7 was sat in front of the fire,  Chance's blazer dragged around his shoulders ,  Chance and Elliot were talking in the kitchen 

“  So you just found him like that ? 

“ yeah … no clear cause either… “ 

“ yell know you can check his gui panel, Right? It'll say what happened before the ‘shut down’ “

“ … how do you know this builder?? “

“ .. he was a npc .. not anymore but it still works , I'll do it “

Builderman went over to the fire , opening the red and black panel .Reading the action log …

“ oh … “

“ what did you find ? “ 

Elliot got up , moving next to Builderman looking at the gui panel 

“ how many seeping pills did he take?? “

“ … 5 .. real strong ones… “

“ …  Shouldn't that have killed him ?”

“ we are in a death game elliot , he is still breathing cos the specter is letting him “ 

“ … oh “ 

“ Yeah,  just keep a eye on him , Elli “

“ will do,Builder “ 

With that Buildermen left, Elliot and  Chens moved that conversation to the fire so thay could stay by seven  

“ … what are we going do ? “

“ I don't know, Chance .. “

As Of recent the survivors noticed they were having less rounds, They were still getting supplies however -  Even without  Providing entertainment to the God like deity of the realm 

 At first everyone was concerned it was a trick but eventually got used to it . Everyone ended up with a calm but alert mode most days… everyone but Shedletsky that seems more bothered about 007n7,   Volunteering to watch over him during the odd round - today being one of them 

007n7 was still out of it . but he was doing better than before - currently sitting next to the admin cuddled against his arm 

‘ Telamon wishes to hold its hacker ‘

Shedletsky didn't ask anyone 

‘Don't kill him, telamon ‘ 

‘ telamon will not ‘ 

And with that . the Admins eyes were back to the strong gold of the past , the gold that Watched over the s. f.o.t.h.s and the hacker as he used his new found freedom to leave buildings with flames lapping up the walls , it was odd truly - holding such affection for an arsonist but it just happened 

Telamon pulled seven close , wrapping it's wings around him - 7 only wrapped his arms around the God in response, still not known what was going on fully 

“ telamoms hacker is still out of it? , how unpleasant “ 

Telamon was used to the man that found joy in terror , joking with that man in the theater mask and telling him to take off that terrible magic man outfit he had on for Halloween one year.

It even remembered the man slowly going from a mindless npc to a feared hacker 

Telamon was pulled out of it thoughts when sevens tail wrapped around it's hand , the hacker seemed to not notice,  he never seemed to notice much  Recently , the God didn't stop him , 

 ‘ Shedletsky , has telamoms hacker eaten today? ‘ 

‘ no , I don't believe so , do you want me to make us food ? ‘ 

‘ Telamon  Requests you do ‘ 

And with that  , Shedletsky was back , starting to get up , taking seven with him 

“ All right,  what do we have from the spectator this week “ 

Shed placed 007n7 down on one of the Chairs, seven being slightly upset that he was no longer being held but got over it . Shedletsky went looking through the cupboards - he was pretty sure they had pasta , everyone likes pasta , he was just gonna make it with butter, his wings were already bothering him enough and he didn't want to deal with food with unexpected taste like the noodles the group was given 

Seven was looking over at the admin, his vision slightly glitchy , he wasn't able to make the person's face out,  but it had wings , so it must be an admin, only the admins had wings . After a bit the admin put a bowl of pasta in front of the ex-hacker - he felt the admin mess with his hair before going to eat themselves , he slowly followed after but he wasn't really hungry.  Being a half-npc came with some upsides … like not needing a lot of food to be full but the dawn side was that he didn't know when he was hungry until it's got really bad 

Shedletsky finished his food before seven,  that didn't shock him - seven never was really big on food,  even in the past 

“ Hey  seven , you wanna go back to your cabin? “ seven only looked up at the admin , the admin know he probably can't see him properly , he got up for the table,  going to offer a hand to seven that took it and him back to his cabin 

Shedletsky can do the dishes after

Telamon was watching over the clouds as the buildings blow were lit , he remembered only weeks ago that it first  Appealed to the silly plan it was given by Buildermen 

A npc that with code to find all possible hacks and exploits ,  how it didn't see this coming left Telamon with ruffled wings , The God knew builderman was very ambitious And Realistically didn't look through the code fully before putting the npc online 

  This was the fourth building this week they were burning down as well , The numbers were getting too high and the God would have to act soon if they wanted this to stop , So the God waited … the npc  Teleported it's friend away - leaving it unable to use the gui to flee quickly 

The God  Took the opportunity To summon its own panel , Teleporting the hacker up to where it stood 

“  Telemon's should ban you…  But you are far too interesting to rid of so quick ,Telamon offers a deal hacker “

The npc never verbally responded … Only offered a hand , That was all the God needed to know , They had acquired a new subject 

“ Shedletsky, what's the intention of this meeting?  You dragged us all here and haven't explained a thing “ 

Builderman ask 

“ Right , right . I never explained But as many of us are aware, someone here was able to Break down the code and summon an object …  Choice of object aside - it means the specters hold on the realm is weakening “  The Admin replied 

“  That is correct … But we shouldn't let our guard down , This could be another one of its games “ 

“ Didn't forget about that factor … We need to start Keeping track of how often the rounds happen “ 

“  A wise decision Shedletsky - we will start taking logs at the end of the day “ 

The admin agreed 

‘ Telamon thinks that meeting took far too long ‘ 

‘ agreed ‘ 

Shedletsky only just got back to his cabin , going straight to the father on the bed . Still curled up in the covers in the Admins t-shirt 

“ sorry that took so long my dear,  you know how those meetings go “ 

The admin kisses the ex-hackers forehead,  waking seven in the process 

“ wh- oh .. it's just you  “ 

Seven sat up on the bed 

The admins' wings fluffed up in response, the hacker seemed to look at his eyes… Did he notice? 

Shedletsky didn't have much time to think about it as he was pulled down… this man was going to be the death of him someday
