Chapter Text

It was… a peaceful day. Tommy wished he could say he liked those, but he couldn't because a peaceful day was just another day before shit went to… well… shittier shit. Still, Tommy decided to walk around the paths he had grown so used to, just to take in some air, maybe run into Tubbo and Ranboo and cause chaos or something. Tommy didn't really pay attention to the buildings he had seen thousands of times, some half built, others half destroyed, some done, others jokes, they were all background fog to him, including the weird group of people he never saw before.

“Good going Ace, look what you did!” A ginger monkey scolded a half-demon girl, who held her hands up defensively. “Hey now, be nice to me, I don’t know how I did this.” The one apparently named Ace sweats.

Tommy let out a small sigh, did he want to help? No, not really. Would he probably be fucking hated by these guys if he didnt offer? Knowing his luck? He’s probably actually somehow already hated by them. Still he turned around, “You guys lost or some shi-” Tommy cut himself off as he itched for his sword seeing a pig-like man, quickly growing tense.

“Uhh… you okay there, bud?” The ginger monkey asked, the pig furrowing his brows. “Is there a problem?”

“Fucking yes?! The fuck you doing here? Going to blow up another country?” Tommy cussed as he pointed his sword at the pig.

“The hell are you on about?” The pig recoiled, scoffing. “I ain’t done a thing to you.”

“Hah haven’t done a- what’s next, ‘I didn't blow up Tubbo’s face!’ fuck you Techno.” Tommy cussed, glaring at the pig.

“Who the fuck is Techno??” the pig crossed his arms. “The name’s Pigsy, kid. Don’t you forget it.”

“Right and I’m fucking Theseus.” Tommy remarked under his breath with a scoff. “What are you even doing here?”

Pigsy’s eye twitched, only stopped by a man with a bowl cut and glasses. “No, this is Pigsy. We don’t know a Techno. You’ve got the wrong pig, my friend.” He laughed nervously.

“What’s Techno doing here?!” Tommy heard Tubbo yell out as he appeared, followed by Ranboo who didn't say much.

“Okay, seriously, who is this Techno person? You got the wrong guy, guy.” A boy with a red headband gestured to Pigsy. “There’s no way you’ve met Dadsy!”

“Mmmmmmm I mean only one pig is on this server.” Tubbo hummed as he brought out a small device.

“We’re new here.” A different monkey said, one with dark fur. “I highly doubt this pig could do any of those things.”

“Right well, just to be safe.” Tubbo hummed with a smirk as he tapped a few buttons. 

“Uh, maybe you shouldn't just on the note that we’re also in the blast zone and you know last life and… Tommy.” Ranboo said with a small smile. 

“Oh yeah, guess I shouldn't nuke them then.” Tubbo said with a small shrug.

“NUKE?!” The one with glasses took a step back, visibly horrified. “What could this Techno guy have possibly done to warrant an immediate nuke threat??”

“Destroyed a whole country, that’s just the first one. I can give a list if you want!” Tubbo said with a grin. 

“I mean he isn't the worst.” Ranboo muttered under his breath.

“Then who is?” A girl in green asked, tilting her head.

“Dream.” The three said in unison.

“You guys have interesting names.” The girl in green tapped her chin, before perking up. “My name’s Mei!”

“I’m Tubbo, and my beautiful and rich husband here is Ranboo.” Tubbo said as he gestured to Ranboo, who gave an awkward wave with a smile.

“Tommy.” Tommy said keeping a small distance away from the newcomers still.

“Cool!” Mei beamed before pointing at each person and naming them.”This is MK, Redson, Pigsy, Tang, Monkey King, Macaque, Ne Zha, Ace, and Rika!”

“Cool, welp I’m going.” Tommy said with a small shrug as he turned to leave, deciding to not deal with this shit actually.

“Awww, bye.” Mei frowned, waving.

“Nuh uh, you going to go to your dirt house and, I don't know, cry? Boringggggg come on, Toms don't be a bitch.” Tubbo said as he wrapped his arm around Tommy’s shoulder.

“I don’t fucking cry.” Tommy remarked, rolling his eyes. “Fine whatever.”

“Sooo… um… now what?” MK asked, rubbing his arm.

“Tour?” Tubbo offered.

“Depends, is everyone we come across going to try and kill me on sight?” Pigsy huffed, arms crossed.

“Uhhhhh if we see Phillza or the real Techno they might be cool, do have to stay away from Quackity- though I also hate him.” Tubbo hummed with a smile.

“What a weird bunch.” Mei said cheerfully, patting Pigsy on the shoulder. “Right?” She beamed. In the background, Redson rolled his eyes.

“Mmmmmmmmmmmmm words.” Rika said.

“... Why?” Redson asked.

“Yummy.” Rika smiled.

“Tommy, entertain our guests while me and Ranboo change real quick.” Tubbo said before dragging Ranboo off for a moment.

“Are we seriously going to trust these… characters?” Ne Zha grumbled quietly, spear gripped tight.

“I mean could just let you wander around, be fucking funny if you all got into the egg cult shit or saw the real Techno.” Tommy muttered with a smirk, eyeing Ne Zha’s spear.

“Watch your tongue, mortal. I won’t take your disrespect lightly.” Ne Zha growled.

“Or what? You join the long line of fuckers who want to kill me?” Tommy scoffed sarcastically.

Ne Zha scoffed. “Hardly. I will not waste my precious time on someone as sad as you.”

“Fuck you.” Tommy scoffed, flipping him off.

“You’re pretty crude.” Mei pointed out, silenced by a slap from Redson.

“Now time to start our tour!” Tubbo said as he and Ranboo reappeared, now wearing stereotypical tour guide uniforms.

“Yay!” Mei and MK cheered in unison. Redson shook his head.

“Now to start, this giant dirt mound is Tommy’s house!” Tubbo said, gesturing to said dirt house. “And over there is the prison with its sole occupant, Dream!” Tubbo gestured to a large black prison.

“You have a prison that large… for one person?” Redson asked, eyebrow raised.

“I mean there’s room for more but mainly just that big to make sure Dream doesn't get out.” Tubbo shrugged. Tommy looked increasingly less and less comfortable as his tail wrapped around his leg.

“Interesting choice. Do you have guards?” Redson inquired.

“There’s the main one, Sam and a few others.” Tubbo shrugged.

“Fuck Sam.” Tommy cursed as he looked away from the prison.

“Great. NEXT.” Pigsy huffed impatiently, greeted by a few pats on the back from Tang.

“Here’s the one hotel here- owned by the big man himself.” Tubbo said, gesturing to a building right in front of Tommy’s house.

“Fun.” Macaque shrugged, amused. “How quaint.”

“It is fun- now back to the main tour, ignore the red vines- connected to the egg.” Tubbo said casually before walking on the wooden path.

“The egg?” MK asked, curious.

“Weird fucking cult shit, makes people obsessed or whatever.” Tommy remarked, “And I’m the only one fully immune to it.” He said, pointing to himself cockily.

“Oh.” MK sweats.

“Just ignore BadBoyHalo and you’d probably be fine.” Tommy shrugged, “Worst case you can run to the church of Prime to get cured.”

“You… how does one live comfortably here?” MK rubbed the back of his neck, uncomfortable.

“You don't." Tubbo shrugged.

“Oh great.” MK said sarcastically.

“What makes you think it’d be great?” Tubbo asked, tilting his head.

“Um… nevermind. Is the tour over yet…?” MK laughed nervously.

“We just started.” Tubbo huffed before going over to a giant crater, “Here’s where L’manburg was… and why most people hate Techno.” Tubbo said. Nearby was a ghostly figure with a blue sheep.

Mei narrowed her eyes.

The figure looked over, a smile on his face before floating over with the sheep on a lead, “Hi!” he said, smiling. Tommy got slightly tense again.

“Hi!” Mei waved. “Whozzat?”

“This is friend!” The ghost said with a smile gesturing at the sheep.

“And who are you?” Mei tilts her head. MK looked nervous.

“Oh I’m Wilbur, but not, you can just call me Ghost Bur!” The ghost said with a smile before holding out a blue substance, “want some blue?”

Before Mei can accept, Redson yanks her back. “We’ll pass.”

“Okay!” Wilbur said before handing some to Tommy who reluctantly accepts.

“This place lacks any sense of logic.” Redson muttered. This was not completely true, he was just frustrated by his own confusion.

“Right, well nice seeing you again but we’re going ahead and going.” Tommy said, deciding to push the group away from the chipper ghost who just waved.

“Weird guy.” Mei shrugged.

“Better than when he was alive.” Tubbo said with a small shrug.

“If you say so.” She shrugged.

“And I do.” Tubbo said with a smirk.

“Okay!” Mei beamed.

“Right so over there you have the egg, once again don't go near.” Tubbo said, gesturing to a building with several of the red vines coming from.

“Wow.” Wukong muttered. “And I thought my life was weird.”

“There’s weirder.” Tubbo said with a small shrug, before gesturing to a castle, “There’s Eret, resident L’manburg traitor and king- if you do deal with Egg shit, go to him or Puffy.”

“Oookay.” Wukong gave a thumbs up. “Seems… fair.”

“Fuckin’ bitch.” Tommy just grumbled as he rolled his eyes as they passed the castle.

“Someone’s got a potty mouth.” Wukong teased. Macaque rolled his eyes.

“Fuck you.” Tommy scoffed, flipping Wukong off.

“Ignore him. He’ll find anything he can to make himself feel superior to you.” Macaque hummed.

“Right well too bad for him that I’m already the fucking best here.” Tommy said with a smirk, his tail flicking.

“Sure you are, kid. Sure you are.” Macaque chuckled, hands in his pockets.

“I mean if it wasn't for me, half the shit here wouldnt even be fucking here.” Tommy said cockily.

“Good on you.” Macaque offered a smile, patting his head mockingly.

“You’re fucking bad at attacking, I’m not even wearing a helmet and you didn’t do any damage.” Tommy remarked as he avoided Macaque’s touch.

“It… wasn’t supposed to hurt- Are you okay?” Macaque furrowed his brows, tail flicking in concern.

Tommy paused before huffing and looking away.

Macaque stared for a moment before chuckling, putting his hands back in his pockets. “Okay then.”

“Right so there ends our tour of the general area!” Tubbo said as he walked towards a black structure with a purple glowing middle, “Now who’s ready to visit the- definitely voted as- best country here?”

Mei raised both hands jumping up and down, stripping the rest of the team of any vote in this.

“I like you, you’re fun.” Tubbo said with a smile, “Now everyone to hell for fast travel!” Tubbo said, gesturing to the portal.

“Every dimension is hell here.” Ranboo stated.

“Do we just… walk through…?” MK asked.

“I mean you can dance through if you want to be extra.” Ranboo said with a shrug.

“How do we know it’s safe?” MK asked. Mei looked about ready to drag him through.

“The roof is the safest place there- probably safer than the rest of the smp.” Tubbo said with a shrug before deciding to just ram MK in.

Mei cheered and rushed after. Reluctantly, the others began to follow.

Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo also entered. Despite all the red and noises from below the roof of the nether was, as Tubbo said, surprisingly chill- well hot- with some more portals in the distance.

“... Weird.” MK muttered.

“Didn’t grow up with shit like this?” Tommy asked with a raised eyebrow as he walked.

“Nothing even remotely close.” MK chuckled.

“You secretly from the end or some shit?” Tommy joked with a smirk, “Might know where tall freak walked out of.” He said, gesturing at Ranboo, who just smiled.

“Uh. No.” MK sweats.

“Weirdo.” Tommy remarked, rolling his eyes.

“...” MK frowned.

“Hopefully everyone is cold for some warm weather!” Tubbo smiled as he pulled the hood of his jacket up before entering another portal.

MK points at the portal wordlessly, head tilted.

“What, surprised by another portal? Guess what, to leave a dimension you entered by portal you gotta go through another.” Tommy said sarcastically.

“Okay okay… sheesh.” MK held his hands up, only to be dragged through by Mei.

The portal led out to a snowy place with a few small cottages and a giant mansion. 

“This is Snowchester, the best country if I do say so myself.” Tubbo said with a smirk.

“How come?” MK asked.

“Becuase it’s mine- and Ranboo’s country.” Tubbo said with a smirk.

“Ah. It all makes sense now.” Wukong said condescendingly. Ne Zha struck him over the head with his spear.

“Right, well that concludes everything actually important on the server.” Tubbo said with a smirk and nod.

“That implies there are other, ‘unimportant’ things.” Pigsy scoffed. Tang nodded.

“Well duh there’s Phil’s and Techno’s, then Quackity’s but they suck, so unimportant.” Tubbo shrugged.

“Really now?” Pigsy hummed.

“Fuck Techno, better off not meeting that anarchist.” Tommy scoffed.

“I uh can introduce you guys if you really want to meet him and Philza?” Ranboo suggested with a small smile.

“I don't kn-” MK starts, cut off by Mei. “Yes please!”

“We’ll be here.” Tubbo said, gesturing to the biggest of the cabins.

“Right he’s not too far out!” Ranboo said with a smile as he started to walk in the snow.

Reluctantly, most of the group starts to follow, only Ne Zha opting to stay behind.

Eventually Ranboo reached two more cabins a decent bit away though still in the snowy place, several dogs and a polar bear in front of one.

“Awwww!” Mei beams, gushing over the animals. Especially the polar bear.

“And you are?” A large imposing shadow appears behind Mei.

Mei turns and waves. “Hiii! I’m Mei.” 

MK sweats.

“Techno this is a friend of mine. Techno, this is Mei, Mei, Techno!” Ranboo said with an awkward nervous smile, trying to keep the large pig wearing a crown and red cape from attacking.

Mei jumps up and down, waving cheerfully. Redson sighs loudly, grabbing her wrist and pulling her back. “Sorry about her.”

“Right.” Techno huffs as he looked down at Redson and Mei with a small smirk.

“How are you, friend?” Mei asked. Redson slowly covers her mouth.

“Oh you’re making friends?” Another much more chipper male voice said as he flew down, several crows following.

“Friendship!” Mei cheered, voice muffled by Redson’s hand.

The new male let out a small chuckle at these, “And these are?”

“Mei is the one who’s mouth is being covered- the one covering is Redson.” Ranboo stated.

“... Hello.” Redson huffed.

“Hiiiii I’m also here!” Rika smiled, waving.

“Yes, we can see that.” Redson huffed, tone slightly fond.

“Well why don’t we all go in and have some tea, hm? Get to know each other better?” The male with the large crow wings offered.

“That… sounds nice.” MK smiled. Mei hummed, narrowing her eyes. Redson kept his hand over her mouth.

“Right this way,” the male smiled, offering them inside the cabins with Techno and Ranboo entering.

Some reluctantly follow, the rest less hesitant.

The male went to make some tea while Ranboo and Techno sat down. Compared to the other two, Techno was heavily armored as he looked down at the newcomers.

“Sooooo….” MK crossed his arms, tapping his arm. “Uh…”

Techno remained silent as he looked down at him.

MK sweats, mouth pressed into an uncomfortable line.

“Has Ranboo shown you his ability?” Techno questioned as he looked down at the group.

“Ability?” Redson questioned, noticing MK’s discomfort.

Techno smirked before going and quickly returning, holding a block of dirt with grass and gesturing to Ranboo. Ranboo broke it and picked the block back up with Techno cheering.

“...What?” Redson blinked.

“It’s really nothing that great.” Ranboo shrugged.

“Yet, it’s only a matter of time before you’re teleporting and… whatever else endermen do.” Techno said with a nod.

“Endermen?” Redson questions, sighing. From the corner of my eye he saw MK still sweating. Mei pats MK on the head.

“Tall dangerous creatures from the end, eyes able to teleport those, and able to teleport to move, and attacking at eye contact.” Techno stated, his voice getting low before shrugging, “They also scream at water and burn from it.”

“Note taken.” Redson smirked.

“And Ranboo here happens to be half Enderman.” Techno smirked, petting Ranboo on the back.

“Note also taken.” Redson nodded. Macaque raised an eyebrow at this.

The male with the crow wings hummed as he returned carrying a tray of tea before putting it down and sitting next to Techno.

“Hi again!” Mei beamed, finally free from Redson’s grasp.

“Hello again.” The male said with a small smile and nod.

“What’s your name again?” Mei asks, head tilted.

“Ah yes, I am Philza.” He said, still smiling, “I must ask what brings so many… newcomers here?”

“Curiosity.” Redson huffed.

“Hm, not many people come to the smp out of curiosity.” Philza hummed as he took a sip out of his tea.

“I was being sarcastic.” Redson grumbled. “Who knows why we’re here.”

“I see, interesting, interesting.” Philza hummed as he took a sip of his tea, smiling.

“Well, aren't you pleasant?” Monkey King mocked. Macaque glared at him, shaking his head.

“I like to think of myself as pleasant, Monkey King.” Philza said simply as he looked at Wukong.

“Ah, so you’ve heard of me?” Wukong smirked, smug.

“You can say that.” Philza chucked with a smirk, one of his crows landing on his shoulder.

“I suppose my reputation precedes me.” Wukong said cockily. Macaque actually laughs at that.

“That’s one way to put it.” Philza smirked, sipping his tea.

“So are you gonna explain yourself?” Macaque asked, tail flicking.

“I mean, what is there to explain besides a lil birdy giving me a message?” Philza asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I see.” Macaque smirked. Wukong sweats. “Wait what’s going on?”

“You know, I remember when humans first made those stories, oh how the times have changed.” Philza said with a small smile as he poured himself some more tea.

“Stories?” Macaque asked, tone calm. “Do we exist to you here?”

“Uhhhhh what’s…? Should I be concerned or?” Ranboo questioned.

“Eh, Phil’s old, good for him.” Techno shrugged.

“Wouldn’t be the only old one.” Macaque grinned. Wukong shoves him in response, huffing.

Philza laughed at that.

Macaque looked over, smiling a bit. Wukong rolled his eyes. “Ooh look at you, so friendly.”

“So why don’t you all talk more about yourselves? Hm?” Philza said as he looked over at the group.

“What is there to say?” MK shrugs. “A lot, actually.” Tang points out. Pigsy nodded.

“Like drugs!” Rika cheered.

“Drugs?” Ghost-Bur asked as he appeared behind them, Friend still with him.

Redson sighs. “Rika, no.”

“Awww mannnn.” Rika whined, “Ace help me out!”

Ace sweats at being mentioned. “Shit, now I have to be a character, uh…”

“Shit is right.” Rika smirked. 

Philza ignored the two in favor of the ghost, “Hello son.” He said with a soft somber smile as he looked at the ghost.

“Son?” MK asked.

“Yup, he’s dadza!” Ghost-Bur said with a smile. Philza nodded.

“I have a few sons.” He stated.

MK looked at Pigsy, who scoffed slightly.

“Oh speaking of sons if you see mine- Fundy the Fox- can you give him some blue for me?” Ghost-Bur asked with a smile, handing them some of the Blue substance before giving some to Philza and Ranboo.

“...What?” MK blinked.

“Just go with it.” Philza whispered with a small smile.

“Uh… Okay then!” MK smiled.

“Yippie!” Ghost-Bur cheered.

“Yippee!” Mei also cheered.

“So what are everyone’s opinions on Anarchy?” Techno decided to ask.

“Yay Anarchy!” Rika cheered.

“I legally cannot make a statement on that.” Wukong sweats. Macaque smirked.

“Oh come on, everything in this part of the smp is legal.” Techno said with a smirk.

“...” Wukong sweats, not willing to face heaven's wrath. Macaque sighs. “Unfortunately, the religion and existence of most of the ones you see before you kinda revolves around the Jade Emperor, so…”

“Boooooo boooooooo.” Techno booed.

Ace points at Techno. “I like this guy.”

“Yay you talking more!” Rika cheered.

“.......” Ace sweats. Verbalizing her opinions had forced her into a role again. She just stood there.

“Right, well I have to check up on my definitely not once orphan son so probably best if we go ahead and head out, nice seeing you two!” Ranboo said, sweating somewhat nervously at mentioning a son he definitely doesn’t have.

“Aww byeee.” Mei waves. Redson rolled his eyes, dragging her along.

“Sorry about the quick and awkward leave.” Ranboo said with a small sigh as he started walking back towards where the small country was.

“Don’t be sorry.” Macaque hums. “I’m pretty sure we were there a bit too long anyway.”

“Right.” Ranboo said with a small chuckle, “So uh how are you all with just… not killing kids?” Ranboo asked awkwardly.

“Depends.” Wukong joked. Macaque slapped him upside the head.

“Rightttttt.” Ranboo said with a sigh, clearly very anxious as he continued walking.

“Why…?” MK asked.

“Ah well uh… most people here are… not the ‘best’ with kids.” He said his tail giving a small flick.

“...Elaborate.” Redson narrowed his eyes.

“Uh, well Techno isn't the best with orphans for example.” Ranboo said, sweating a bit.

“I’m… not going to ask.” Redson grumbled. MK, proud of how civil Redson was being, smiles, patting him on the head. Redson’s eye twitched.

“Probably for the best.” Ranboo said with a sigh.

“So what now?” Mei asked.

“We die?” Rika suggested with a shrug.

“No.” Redson glared.

“Awww mannn.” Rika whined. 

Ranboo decided best not to ask as he continued to head back to his home.

“Nobody answered my question.” Mei frowns.

“Well uh always something happening.” Ranboo said as they reached the small country once again.

“Doesn’t seem like it.” Mei sulked.

“Then go back to the main area or some shit.” Tommy remarked as he leaned against the cabin.

“Hello to you too.” Macaque grinned.

Tommy decided to just flip him off.

“Right well I need to go check in on something very non suspicious.” Ranboo said quickly entering the cabin.

“Ooookay. Rude.” Macaque chuckles, Mei waving to Ranboo.

“If you look at the second floor window you might be able to see a ‘secret’.” Tommy said with a smirk.

Macaque raised an eyebrow.

Tommy just smirked.

“You’re awfully smug, aren’t you?” Macaque teased.

“Could say the same to you, emo.” Tommy said as he rolled his eyes.

Macaque observes him. “Interesting. You’re interesting.”

“Fuck yeah I am, I’m also the greatest biggest man on this fucking server.” Tommy said cockily with a smirk.

“... Cocky.” Macaque said mockingly, though not without an undertone of fondness. “You remind me of a certain someone.”

“But I’m fucking better than them.” Tommy said, just as cockily.

Macaque chuckles.

“Ask him about the how to sex books!” Tubbo called out from within the cabin.

“No- no- do not.” Tommy said, blushing from embarrassment as Tubbo laughed.

Macaque blinked, before shaking his head, going to ruffle Tommy’s hair. “You really are just a kid.”

“Aye, I’m not a fucking kid.” Tommy scoffs as he tries to avoid Macaque’s ruffles.

Macaque persists. “The more you avoid this the longer it goes on. Might as well accept your fate, kiddo.”

“Fuck you, fucking bitch!” Tommy cussed going to try and bite Macaque’s hand to get him to stop.

Macaque refuses to relent, smirking. “You’re not getting out of this so easily.”

“Fuck off!” Tommy pouts as he continues to try and resist.

“Mmmmaybe if you ask nicely.” Macaque grins.

“Why should I do that?” Tommy scoffs as she sticks his tongue out at Macaque.

Macaque decides to not stop then.

“Fuck you bitch!” Tommy exclaims as he tries to escape Macaque's ruffles again.

Wukong sighs. “Stop tormenting the poor kid.” He called out to Macaque. Macaque, however, did not. He was enjoying this.

Tommy tried to bite Macaque’s hand again.

“No biting.” Macaque playfully reprimanded.

“Fuck you, I do what I want!” Tommy cussed before smirking and kicking him in the groin.

“Oh nooo. Owie.” Macaque said sarcastically, but taking this as his sign to back off. He’d experienced worse. That, however, didn’t mean it didn’t hurt.

“That’s what I fucking thought.” Tommy said cockily, not realizing Macaque’s sarcasm, Tommy also decided to quickly put on his netherite helmet to avoid any more ruffles.

Macaque chuckled. “That kid’s got spunk.” “If that’s what you call it….” Wukong muttered.

“I call it being mortal!” Rika cheered before Rika-ing everywhere.

“...” Redson looked at Rika incredulously.

Rika just frog blinked before falling sideways into the snow.

Redson sighs and sits next to them.

“That thing is fuckin weird.” Tommy remarked, gesturing at Rika.

“We know.” Wukong deadpanned. Redson glared at Wukong.

“Welp, I'm heading back to the main area.” Tommy said with a small shrug walking back to the nether portal.

“We bid you adieu.” Ace waved.

“What’s an adieu and why we bidding on it?” Rika asked as they slowly sunk into the snow.

“... Nothing.” Ace sighs.

“... So where we staying?” Rika asked as they sunk deeper into the snow.

“... Good question.” MK looked at them. “Are you… okay?”

Rika gave a thumbs up.

“Ooookay then.” MK sighs.

“The snow tastes good!” Rika said.

“Don’t eat the snow.” Redson also sighs.

“But it tastes so good!” Rika pouted within the snow.

“No.” Redson scolds.

A robot man walked out of the portal stared at everyone for a moment before grumbling about calling in a sick day and leaving once again.

Mei frowns at the lost opportunity.

Rika sneakily started eating more snow.

Redson slaps Rika.

Rika started crying.

MK sweats.

Tubbo parties within his home.

“This… is going nowhere.” Macaque sighs.

“What makes you say that?” Rika asked.

“The fact that nothing is happening.” Macaque chuckled.

“Then find your new son again.” Rika shrugged, eating more snow.

“My what?” Macaque blinked.

“Oh have you not adopted him yet?” Rika asked.

“No…?” Macaque blinked. “I don’t do the whole… taking kids in thing. Not really my styl-” “Didn’t you take in Bai He?” Wukong teased. Macaque sweats.

“First stage denial, second stage adoption!” Rika said into the snow as their whole body sinks into it.

Macaque wordlessly grabs them and pulls them along through the portals. The rest of the group follows.

“Yay field trip!” Rika cheers as the snow melts off in the hot dimension.

“There. We’re back. Now what?” Macaque drops Rika.

“Oh why hello there!” A male voice said as he appeared behind him, the tall black demon wore a smile on his face as he looked down at the group.

“Uh… hi.” MK narrowed his eyes.

“You all seem… new. May I interest you in joining a… cause of mine?” The demon said, smiling at them.

“Sorry, guy, we don’t do cults.” MK huffed.

“I can assure you the egg is not a cult.” The demon stated.

“... Didn’t they warn us about the egg before…?” MK muttered. “We’ll pass, thanks.”

“Have you seen the egg before?” The demon asked as he simply just tilted his head with a smile.

“You’re creeping me out.” MK said simply.

“What’s so creepy about a future full of peace thanks to the glorious egg?” The demon said, smiling as he clapped his hands together.

“Eugh…..” MK shuddered. “Hard pass.”

“Hard pass on a peace filled future?" The demon questioned.

“On your weird egg.” MK recoiled.

“The egg that is the key to peace?” The demon questioned as he took a step closer.

MK sweats, uncomfortable. “How exactly is it the key to peace?”

“By uniting us all!” The demon said cheerfully.

“......” MK backed up. “No thanks.”

The demon took a step closer, about to say something else, when an arrow came flying and landed in his shoulder.

MK breathed a sigh of relief before looking to see who shot the arrow.

Standing there with a bow and arrow was a sheep woman with long hair and wearing a pirate uniform. The demon let out a small hiss, glaring at her before leaving.

“Uh… thanks..!” MK rubbed the back of his neck.

“Of course, sorry if he bothered you much, Bad has been getting… that’s besides the point. I’m Captain Puffy.” The woman introduced herself.

“Nice to meet you!” MK smiled brightly.

“Nice to meet you as well. Now try to stay away from that egg stuff, don't need more people joining it.” Puffy said before leaving just as quickly as she came.

“Oh. Okay then!” MK waved, still kinda shaken up by the encounter.

“Let’s do that again!” Rika cheered.

MK slow turned to RIka.

Rika was still laying face first on the ground from being dropped.

MK sweats.

Rika sweats cus funny.

“...Now what?” Wukong asked.

“Now we die?” Rika asked.

Redson knelt beside them to poke them. “Did you lose your mind?”

“Jokes on you, I lost that a long time ago!” Rika cheered.

“...” Redson flicks them before standing up.

Rika ragdolls.

“....... Maybe we SHOULD have gone to see that egg.” Redson grumbled.

The demon poked his head back with a smile.

Redson sweats.

“Fuck you fucking bitch ass the power of prime repells you!” Tommy yelled out as he ran over.

“Language!” The demon yelled out.

Macaque bursts into cackles.

“That’s not funny!” The demon exclaimed. Tommy poured some liquid from a bottle which made the demon hiss and retreat again.

Wukong shoved the wheezing Macaque out of the way. “Heyyy look at you! You rescued us. How kind.” He mocked.

“Damn right I did, with the power of Prime.” Tommy smirked as his tail flicked.

“...” Wukong slow claps.

“That’s right fucking clap for me.” Tommy said cockily.

“... Are you au-” Wukong is cut off by Macaque, still giggling, clasping his hand over Wukong’s mouth.

“Weirdo.” Tommy remarks rolling his eyes.

“... He definitely is.” Wukong said, voice muffled. Macaque is wiping tears from his eyes, sighing.

“Awesome? Damn right I am.” Tommy said with a shrug, deciding that’s what the monkey meant.

“...Tistic.” Wukong corrected, still muffled. Macaque is holding his breath.

“Awesometistic I like your thinking.” Tommy said cockily with a smirk.

Macaque wheezes, hand falling from Wukong’s mouth to catch himself on his knees, crying laughing.

“Is he like dying?” Tommy questioned.

“Not again…” Wukong said sarcastically. Macaque is currently on his hands and knees, punching the ground with one hand, laughing hysterically. MK looks concerned. “It’s… it cannot be THAT funny…”

“Dont lose a life.” Tommy said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.

After a moment, Macaque composes himself, standing up. He takes a deep breath, suppressing any giggles that might still be there. “You… are fucking hilarious.”

“Guess that’s just part of my greatness.” Tommy shrugged.

Macaque pats his shoulder. “Sure.”

“I’ll take it then.” Tommy smirked.

Macaque shook his head. “You are… one of a kind.”

“Damn right I am, fucking greatest this server has ever seen!” Tommy said cockily with a smirk.

Wukong stuck his tongue out at them. “Blegh. Yeah, that’s cute that you’re bonding and all, but I’m bored.”

“Yeah well fuck you!” Tommy said as he stuck his tongue back out at Wukong.

Wukong stuck his tongue out again.

Tommy repeated this action.

Wukong also repeated the action.

Tommy once again repeated the action.

Fundy watched in confusion.

Mei points, jaw dropped.

“Oh it’s Wilbur’s adopted kid!” Tommy teased the fox with a smirk.

“I’m not adopted!” Fundy said glaring at Tommy.

“Hiiii! Hello furry friend!” Mei waved.

“I’m not a furry!” Fundy said, now glaring at Mei.

“... oh…” Mei frowns.

“Hey maybe that’s actually how a salmon and man have a fox kid- the kid is actually wearing a fursuit 24/7.” Tommy teased, only making Fundy more pissed off at him.

“... What the fu-” Wukong looked in horror.

“I’m not a furry!” Fundy scoffed glaring at Tommy.

“.... That’s what a furry would say.” Tang called out. Mei nods.

“I am not a furry!” Fundy yelled out again.

“... furrysayswhat.” Tommy said under his breath.

“... I’m not fucking falling for that.” Fundy scoffs.

“Damn.” Mei snapped her fingers. “We’ve done all we can do.”

“What are you even doing here, shouldn't you like be getting your diaper changed baby?” Tommy said with a smirk.

Fundy bit him.

“......” MK sweats.

Rika bites Fundy.

“...Drop it.” Redson sighed.

Rika whined not wanting to drop Fundy.

“Drop it.” Redson repeated more firmly.

Rika reluctantly dropped him.

“Thank you.” Redson huffed.

“...” Rika bit Tommy.

“Drop- You know what? Nevermind.” Redson instead goes to pry them off.

Rika just kinda stretches out like taffy. Tommy and Fundy looked in confusion and mild horror.

“Drop it.” Redson groaned. “I swear, you are insufferable.”

Rika whined, keeping hold of Tommy.

“Drop. it.”

Rika let go of Tommy for a second.

Redson narrowed his eyes.

Rika bit Fundy again who ragdolled.

Redson gives up and walks away.

Rika let go of Fundy.

“Thank you.” Redson called out, not even looking.

“What the fuck.” Fundy questions, looking at Rika.

Rika dances.

“Don’t question it.” Ace called out.

“Right…” Fundy said before deciding to just walk away.

“... Aaaand we’re back to square one. What is there to do around here?” Ace huffed, eye twitching.

“Drugs?” Tommy said with a shrug.

“Sign me up.” Ace held her hand out expectantly.

Tommy handed her a random potion.

“Whazzis?” Ace squints at it.

“A part of the fucking sky- it’s drugs.” Tommy said as he rolled his eyes.

“... What drugs?” Ace glared.

“Drink it and find out.” Tommy shrugged with a smirk.

“I’m not ingesting an unknown substance, thats how you fucking die, dumbass.” Ace huffed, looking at the ‘drugs’.

“You’re acting like it’s fucking poison or harming.” Tommy scoffed sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.

“You take it then, smart guy.” Ace holds the bottle out.

“Why don't you want my fucking drugs?” Tommy said, refusing to take the bottle.

“... Rika, take this for me.” Ace holds it out for Rika.

“I’m no longer allowed to take random drinks.” Rika said, passing it to Redson.

Redson’s eye twitches. “Nobody is taking this.” Redson holds it out for Tommy to take.

“Fuck you, didnt even want you to have my drugs anyways.” Tommy said, sticking his tongue out at Redson as he took the potion back.

“And once again that leaves us with nothing.” Ace frowns.

“Well maybe if you weren't a bitch and just took the drugs.” Tommy grumbled.

“Well maybe if you told me what it does.” Ace mocked.

“It makes you feel good, I don't know what drugs do!” Tommy scoffed.

“........ Touche.” Ace points at him like he had a point.

“So you going to take the drugs?” Tommy asked.

“Will I die?”

“How many hearts are you on?” Tommy questioned.

Ace sweats. “I uh… have never died before yet…?”

“Good job, you have all three lives, how many hearts.” Tommy said as he rolled his eyes.

“I don’t fucking know, is this a video game?” Ace rolled her eyes, flipping him off.

“The fuck do you mean you dont know?” Tommy said, “You probably won't die- poison worst case won't kill you.” Tommy said, handing her the drugs.

“.......................” Ace looked at the drugs. “Ummmm I actually listened in my school’s DARE program. Say no to drugs kids.” Ace put the ‘drugs’ on his head.

“The fuck is a school?” Tommy questioned as he grabbed the potion from his head.

“Where you learn stuff, my friend.” Ace pats his head.

Tommy glared at her.

“You’re my friend now.” Ace smiled.

“Will you take the drugs then?” Tommy asked.

“Mmmmmaybe.” Ace ponders.

“Very low chance of killing you.” Tommy stated.

“Unhelpful, friend.” Ace sighs.

“Like one in a fucking billion chance.” Tommy said, holding out the drugs.

“Why do you want me to take it so bad?” Ace takes the bottle.

“... Good question.” Tommy said with a shrug.

Ace looks at the bottle, and then at Tommy. “This is the only fun thing you have around here?”

“I mean, could try and trick Bad into cussing.” Tommy said with a shrug.

“...Who?”

“The demon.” Tommy said.

“OHHH The creepy egg guy? Ough… maybe not.” Ace recoiled before handing the bottle to Mei.

“Wow, just giving my drugs away to anybody.” Tommy remarked.

“She’s my guinea pig.” Ace pats Mei’s head. Mei looked at the bottle before surprisingly not drinking it. Ace sweats. “Nevrmind then.”

“The fuck is a guinea?” Tommy questioned.

“....”

“Oh wow the guy from a different world doesn't have a random thing.” Tommy scoffed sarcastically.

Ace sighs loudly before taking the bottle and doing the drugs reluctantly, mostly to get this guy to stfu.

“Woooooo drugs!” Tommy cheered, “Soo what effect?”

“How the fuck am I supposed to know?” Ace glared.

“Uh, try jumping?” Tommy suggested.

“Why would I do that?” Ace raised an eyebrow.

“If it’s jump boost.” Tommy said.

Ace looked at him like he lost his mind.

“Fine uh here.” Tommy said before punching her to see how long till she would heal if it had something to do with healing.

Ace looked at him like that was the most offensive thing ever.

“Do you want to know what kinda drugs you just took or not?” Tommy asked as he pulled out a flint and steel.

Ace sweats. “No, not really.”

“Well that’s too fuckin bad.” Tommy said before lighting her on fire to see if fire resistance.

Ace frowns.

“So how painful?” Tommy asked as he looked at her.

“You’re asking the wrong person buddyo.” Ace shrugs. Macaque sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I have…. Very few words. Why…??”

“To see what kind of drugs she did, duh.” Tommy said with a shrug, “Well seeing how she’s not screaming in pain I’m going to say fire resistance.” Tommy shrugged.

“........ Oh yeah.” Ace blinks. Macaque huffed. “You can’t just set people on fire.”

“Well I have a water bucket in case it wasn't fire resistance.” Tommy said with a shrug.

“...” Macaque chuckles. “Right.”

Tommy decided to use the water bucket on Wukong cus funny.

Wukong turns into a fish.

“The fuck?” Tommy said before picking the water up and seeing if he could pick Wukong up as a fish.

Wukong turns into a shark for fun.

“The double fuck?!” Tommy yelled before deciding to try and throw Rika at Wukong.

Macaque wheezes.

“Yayyyy!” Rika cheered.

Redson grabbed them midair and pulled them aside.

“Worth a shot.” Tommy shrugged, “Where’s spear boy?”

“OOH OOH I know this one!” Ace beamed. “He stayed behind.”

“Fucking idiot.” Tommy remarked.

Ne Zha, who had decided they were trustworthy enough to leave them and return to the main group, hears this. “Very mature.” He huffs sarcastically.

Tommy flinched with him quickly pulling out his sword.

Ne Zha froze, not out of fear or shock, but concern. “What could have possibly made you react so strongly?” Ne Zha inquired.

“You fucking appearing out of no where.” Tommy scoffed as he put his sword away.

“I see. My apologies.” Ne Zha sighs.

Tommy seems surprised at the apology, like he was unused to them, but did not say anything besides a few muttered words.

Ne Zha takes this at his apology being accepted and nods. “What did I miss?” 

Mei points at Ace. “She took drugs and then got set on fire. Also some weird guy wanted us to see some egg.”

Ne Zha groans.

“And my nephew showed up.” Tommy said with a shrug.

“... Interesting.” Ne Zha mutters.

“... Want any drugs?” Tommy offered, pulling out a new potion.

“I’ll pass, thank you.” Ne Zha said firmly and immediately.

“Suck to suck- luckily I don't do any sucking.” Tommy shrugged as he put the potion away.

Macaque shook his head.

“Soooooo want to go gambling?” Tommy asked with a shrug.

“Gambling?” Ne Zha tilted his head curiously.

“Do you not know what fucking gambling is?” Tommy questioned as he raised an eyebrow.

“Of course I do. I meant it as you do that here?” Ne Zha huffed. Mei perks up. “Let’s do it!”

“Fuck yeah, to Las Nevadas it is!” Tommy said as he walked through the portal again.

As they follow, Macaque speaks up. “What exactly is Las Nevadas? Besides gambling. You just didn’t mention it in the tour I don’t think.”

“The country Quackity made- apparently Fundy and a few others work there.” Tommy said with a small shrug.

“Interesting.” Macaque hummed.

Tommy led them through a second portal leading to the country. A giant city based around gambling.

“I have many bones.” A… somewhat human male said.

“Me too!” Mei called out, waving.

“Yay! How many bones do you have, Mei from another world?” The male asked happily.

“Woah! That’s my name! And uhhh… I dunno. A lot! Hundreds!” Mei beamed.

“Wow! I have 300! The normal amount for a normal human to have because I am a normal human!” The man said, giving a thumbs up.

“...” Ace points at him. “I will protect you with my life.”

“Thank you Ace from another world! Do you want a part of me?” He offered.

“Uh… sure?” Ace gives a thumbs up.

He gave her a slime ball.

Ace cherishes it.

“Slime what the fuck are you doing?” Another male questioned as he walked over, one of his eyes had a scar running through it.

Mei waves. “Hiii!”

“Quackity from Las Nevadas, I’m making new friends!” The weird male said waving with a smile.

“Great.” Quackity said sarcastically, “Look, we’re closed today okay, gotta clean up…”

“I gooped around!” The weird male smiled.

“That.”

“Aw man.” Mei frowned.

“Aw shucks and here I was thinking I get to show these guys the best country in the smp.” Tommy said as he shook his head.

“... Kid you’re lucky I like you, but don't try to do that manipulation shit again.” Quackity stated.

“Can we please gamble?” Tommy batted his eyelashes.

Mei joins in, also batting her eyelashes.

“Fine- just don’t cause too much-” before Quackity could even finish, Tommy ran in.

Mei ran in after Tommy. Macaque sweats slightly.

“Quackity I threw up.” The weird man said pointing at some slime balls he had puked up.

“What are you…?” Macaque asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I am the most normal human who has ever human!” He said before doing an anime pose.

“...Riiiight…” Macaque narrowed his eyes.

“... Do you want to see my bones?” He asked as he held a bone in his hand. Quackity looked at this like it was normal.

“....Okay…. Nice uh… nice bones.” Macaque sweats, taking a small step back.

“Thank you, Macaque from another world!” The man said with a smile, “Do you want some food?”

Fundy, who was now wearing a uniform, gestured behind the strange male for Macaque to say no.

“Uhh.. no thank you.” Macaque waved his hand dismissively.

“You sure?” He asked, smiling.

“I’m sure.” He forced a smile.

“Can I offer you something to drink then?” He asked.

“I think I’ll be okay, no thank you.”

The man looked at him with a smile before shrugging, “Hi Fundy from L’manburg!” He said waving at Fundy.

“How the fuck do you know where I came from?!” Fundy exclaimed before deciding fuck being near it and entered the main building.

“Is… it smart to let a kid gamble by himself? Or at all?” Macaque asked.

“Kid fought in a war and the reason why they won.” Quackity said with a small shrug.

“... Oh. Is he okay…?” Macaque furrowed his brows.

“He’s… been through a lot. Deserves to have some fun- even if it is gambling.” Quackity remarked.

“...Fair enough. I’m gonna go supervise him.” Macaque shrugs, before heading in to find his totally not son.

“I’m gambling all my diamonds, go big or go home!” Tommy cheered.

Macaque sweats.

Tommy lost. Tommy broke.

Macaque pats him on the shoulder.

Quackity happened to ‘drop’ a few diamonds nearby for Tommy to find. Tommy cheered as no longer broke.

Macaque gave a nod of respect.

Tommy went back to gambling.

Mei was sad because she could not gamble so she went to watch.

Tommy shared some of his diamonds he had gotten with her so she could gamble.

Mei celebrates.

The weird totally normal human slimed everywhere. Rika joined in.

Ace air pats the weird totally normal human.

“Yay!” He cheered.

“I like you, please never perish.” Ace makes a hand heart.

“Oki!” He gave a thumbs up.

Ace decided that he was her favorite.

Fundy watched in slight horror.

Ace waves.

Fundy just shook his head, knowing the true horrors.

Ace shrugged before waving at Rika.

Rika was Rikaing everywhere.

Ace decides nevermind and goes back to observing her new friend.

The man was right up to her face with a smile.

“Hello there.” Ace sweats.

“Hi Ace from the celestial realm!” The man smiled, waving at her.

“Oh, I see we’ve gotten more specific.” Ace gave a thumbs up.

“Slime what are you…?” Quackity questions before deciding to just ignore it.

Ace pretends he does not exist.

Quackity raised an eyebrow as he looked at Ace.

Ace sweats.

“Is he bothering you?” Quackity asks Ace as he looks her up and down.

Ace takes a deep breath, preparing for hell. “No.”

“Right, well if he does bother you, let me know.” He said with a small smirk.

Ace gave a thumbs up.

“You are so chill around him.” Rika said sarcastically with a smirk.

“Thank you, I know.” Ace beamed, proud.

“Bro doesn't know sarcasm.” Rika said with the sarcasm.

“Shhhhhh.” Ace held a hand up. “Silence. I’m too nonchalant for this.”

“Become the simp you are meant to be.” Rika said, casting a spell on Ace.

Ace frowns.

“Did it work?” Rika asked.

“Maybe it did, maybe it didn’t, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna be less avoidant.” Ace puts on sunglasses.

Rika pushes Ace into Quackity.

Ace looks ready to perish. Or cause a perishing. One or the other.

“You good?” Quackity asked with a smirk as he looked at her.

“No, I’m actually evil.” Ace said sarcastically.

“Wouldnt be the only one.” Quackity said with a laugh.

“Can you kill me now please?” Ace bats her eyelashes.

“I think I'll pass.” Quackity smirked.

“... Can you kill them then?” Ace points at Rika.

“Hah I’d like to see- oh that is an arrow in my chest, Redson help.” Rika said as Quackity shot an arrow at them.

“Oh.” Ace blinks. Redson sighs and retrieves Rika.

“Uh blood blood guys and death!” Rika said as if in a play while bleeding out- despite being immortal.

Redson smirked. “Walk it off, you’re fine.” He pats their head.

“Fundy we had a little spill.” Quackity called Fundy over, who had just finished cleaning Slime’s mess.

“... You know that’s the first time someone has actually complied.” Ace looked impressed. “But also murder is bad and you shouldn’t do that.”

“Hah! Here murder might as well be a pastime.” Quackity laughed with a smirk.

“And not taking random potions or gambling?” Ace joked.

“Why are you taking random potions?” Quackity questioned Ace.

“The child is very persistent.” Ace shrugs.

“That’s Tommy for you.” Quackity said with a small smirk.

“He set me on fire and punched me.” Ace frowned.

“Also Tommy for you.” He shrugged.

“Good to know.” Ace gave a thumbs up.

“Fuck you mean that’s Tommy for ya?!” Tommy yelled out as he was gambling. Quackity just laughed at that.

Macaque pats Tommy on the shoulder, shaking his head. Ace, meanwhile, escapes.

“Bye Ace from the celestial realm!” Slime called out, waving at her.

Ace stops, returning. “Can I take you with me?”

“I don't know if Mr Quackity would be happy with that.” Slime said. In the back, Quackity was laughing at this.

“....... What if I didn’t care and took you anyway?”

“Uhhhhh let me ask him!” Slime went to go ask Quackity before returning, “He said he’d kill you and everyone you love!” Slime smiled.

“....” Ace sighs. “What if I took him too?”

“Let me ask again!” Slime said, chipper as he returned to Quackity.

Ace sweats.

“He says he has work but if you want to go on a date to just call!” Slime said smiling.

“Wow, what gave him that impression?” Ace tapped her chin dramatically.

“It’s the simp spell!” Rika yelled out before puking blood cus why not.

“SHIT-” Ace sweats. Redson, meanwhile, sighs, patting Rika on the head.

Quackity shoots Rika again.

Ace and Redson both just kinda stared at Rika in concern.

“... Yay pain!” Rika cheered.

Redson sighs. “Why do you insist on testing my patience?”

“Cus funny!” Rika laughed, before puking more blood for more fun.

Redson sighs, holding his hand out. “Let’s just get you out of… aim.”

“Oki!” Rika said before rolling into his hands.

Redson’s eye twitched, but he sighed and carried them away.

“Bye Redson and Rika!” Slime called out, waving to the two with a smile.

Redson gave a small wave. Ace, meanwhile, looked at Slime adoringly.

Slime went back to sliming around- much to the displeasure of Fundy, who’d have to clean it up.

Ace applauds.

“Want more bits of me?” Slime offered Ace with a smile.

“........ Suuuuure…..?” Ace sweats, scratching her cheek.

Slime gave her more slimeballs.

Ace stores them away.

“Yippie!” Slime went back to sliming around.

Macaque shook his head. “Okay, seriously, what’s up with him?”

“Good question, we’ll get back once we figure that out.” Fundy grumbled sarcastically as he cleaned up some of Slime’s mess.

“Appreciated.” Macaque said sarcastically back.

“I am just a very normal human!” Slime smiled as he stood behind Fundy- making him scream.

“This place is… weird.” Macaque chuckled.

“That’s the smp for you.” Tommy said with a laugh.

“This is normal?"

“... Whatever Charlie is, isn’t, but besides him, kinda.” Tommy shrugged as he gestured at Slime.

“Got it.” Macaque nodded. In the background, Mei was gambling.

Tommy decided to go back to gambling.

“That can’t be good for your mental health.” Wukong called out.

“Fuck you!” Tommy flipped him off with a laugh.

“Ooookay then.” Monkey King huffed.

“Hi Sun Wukong from Flower Fruit Mountain!” Slime said with a grin as he appeared behind Wukong.

“Well hey there, bud!” Wukong turned around, unphased. “Whatcha up to?”

“Do you want something to eat or drink?” He offered. In the back, Fundy was once again gesturing for Wukong to say no.

“Y’know, I think I'll pass, thanks for the offer!” Wukong pats his head.

“Oki!” Slime smiled before sliming away.

“...Weird.”

“Fuckin hate that thing.” Fundy remarked under his breath as he went back to cleaning.

“Hate’s a strong word.” MK pointed out, smiling.

“I know.” Fundy stated.

“...Oh.” MK’s smile falters.

Fundy just continued to mutter insults under his breath as he kept cleaning.

Ace death glares Fundy.

Slime keeps sliming.

“Every second spent here feels like I’m on something.” Pigsy grumbled.

“Wanna drink something to feel less like that… maybe?” Slime offered as he held out a drink.

“No.” Pigsy huffed.

Quackity raised an eyebrow, going to see what Slime was doing now, before seeing Pigsy. In a matter of seconds, he was in full gear and pointing a sword at him. “The fuck are you doing here, Techno?”

“Not again…” Tang looked nervous. Pigsy rolled his eyes. “You’re mistaken. Not Techno. Pigsy. We hardly look anything alike! That has got to be considered racist.” Pigsy muttered the last part.

“Tommy?” Quackity questioned as he looked over, his sword still pointed at Pigsy. 

“He’s telling the truth… I think.” Tommy said with a small shrug. Quackity looked very hesitant, but slowly put his weapon away, though kept a close eye on Pigsy.

Pigsy shook his head. “The nerve of you all…”

Quackity ‘accidently’ shot an arrow at him.

MK stepped in, staff drawn, hitting the arrow away. “Can we be civil please?”

“I am.” Quackity smirked.

“How the fuck did he just do that- you can’t block with sticks?!” Fundy exclaimed from behind.

“I’m the Monkie Kid. Duh.” MK grinned pridefully.

“You want a medal for it?” Quackity asked sarcastically.

“Mmmaaaybe.” MK smiles.

Quackity threw a piece of gold at his head.

MK fumbles to catch it and in the process drops his staff, while still failing to catch the gold.

Tommy points and laughs at him- while losing some of his money.

Macaque gently flicks Tommy.

Tommy tries to bite his finger.

Macaque contemplates walking away.

“Thats what I fucking thought.” Tommy said cockily with a smirk.

Macaque shoves him with his tail, smirking.

“Hey the fuck was that for?!” Tommy yelled out, glaring at him.

“How opposed are you to having a sibling?” Macaque raised an eyebrow, ignoring the question.

“Already have two shitty ones, why the fuck you care?” Tommy scoffed, glaring at him.

“So is there a legal process I have to go through for adoption or do I just take you?” He said playfully.

“The process is fuck you, I’m nobodies kid.” Tommy said as he flipped Macaque off.

“Mmmm no.” Macaque leans against the wall.

“... You have to do a process?” Fundy asked, sweating a bit. Tommy shrugged.

“... What a weird bunch.” Macaque muttered.

“Eh you find random creatures and decide they’re your children now.” Tommy said with a shrug, “But not me!” He yelled before trying to run away.

Macaque blinks, considering following but opting to not.

“I need to go.” Fundy said as he left the broom before running off. Quackity grumbled before calling another employee in, Purpled, to continue cleaning.

“Do you just have a bunch of employees at your disposal, guy?” MK asked.

“Actually we are a bit understaffed if you ever need a job.” Quackity offered with a smirk. Purpled grumbled, glaring at Quackity.

“Oh! Thank you, but I already have two.” MK waved his hand dismissively. “But maybe someone else could use a job.”

“Me want job!” Rika called out from where they and Redson were.

Quackity aimed another arrow towards their voice and shot.

 “Hey now, that’s not nice.” Ace shook her head, pointing at him like a parent would while scolding their child.

“Oh no, so sad, everyone in this server is, at minimum, a little shitty.” Quackity shrugged with a smirk.

“Nuh uh.” Ace stuck her tongue out. MK sweats, questioning now if he was actually a good person.

“Oh please tell me one person.” Quackity smirked.

“......” Ace sweats.

“That’s what I thought.” Quackity laughed.

“Whatever loser, I don’t have to put up with this.” Ace flips him off.

Quackity just laughed at that.

MK raised a hand. “So like… is everyone here an asshole or…?”

“Yup. Some less than others.” Purpled muttered, glaring at Quackity.

“Oh. Yay.” MK sighs.

“Fuck you, I’m not an asshole!” Tommy scoffed, flipping them off.

MK pressed his mouth into a line, refusing to comment on that.

“Thats what I fuckin thought!” Tommy smirked.

“Macaque, come get your kid.” Wukong called out. Macaque sighs.

“Fuck you, I’m nobodies kid!” Tommy yelled out, flipping Wukong off as he climbed atop a slot machine.

Macaque looked mildly amused.

“Kid…” Quackity just gestured at Tommy atop the machine before sighing.

Macaque held his hand up expectantly. “Get down.”

“Fuck you, you cant tell me what to do!” Tommy yelled with a laugh, his tail flicking.

“Okay then.” Macaque descends into the shadows, reemerging beside Tommy. “So what now?” He mocked.

“The fuck, how did you?!” Tommy yelled out.

“How’d I what?” Macaque feigns ignorance.

“That whole shadowy bullshit!” Tommy yelled out.

“It’s kinda my whole gimmick, kid.” Macaque grinned.

“Yeah well fuck you.” Tommy said, flipping him off before enderpearling to another machine.

Macaque simply follows via shadows. Wukong smirked at this.

“Fuck you, stalker.” Tommy scoffed, pearling back to the same machine from a moment ago.

Macaque shrugs, opting to lurk in the shadows rather than reemerge.

“That’s what I fucking thought.” Tommy smirked.

“You’re a fun one.” Wukong points out.

“I’m the fucking best.” Tommy said cockily.

Ace shook her head. “The weird guy is the best, sorry.”

“Yippie!” Slime cheered. 

“... I’m the fucking best normal person here!” Tommy said, glaring at Slime.

“Mmmm no.” Ace shook her head again.

“Fuck you, no one asked for your opinion.” Tommy said, flipping Ace off.

Ace frowns.

“That’s what I fucking thought!” Tommy smirked cockily, before pulling out a piece of meat and eating it.

“I did your random mystery drugs and that’s how you repay me? Cold.” Ace pretends to wipe a tear from her eye.

“Not cold actually, it was fire resistance.” Tommy shrugged with a smirk.

“.. Fuck you.”

“Fuck you more!” Tommy said, flipping her off.

Ace stuck her tongue out. Ne Zha pinched the bridge of his nose.

Tommy stuck his tongue back out at Ace.

Ace giggled.

“Why the fuck you giggling?!” Tommy huffed. Slime ate a tongue.

“You’re funny.” Ace smiles. Ne Zha looked at Slime, horrified.

“Just part of my greatness.” Tommy smirked. Slime waved at Ne Zha happily.

Ne Zha huffed, shaking his head, before looking at Tommy. “Please, you wouldn’t know greatness if it struck you in the face.”

“Oh please, I had a lot of things get struck in my face- none of them were greatness!” Tommy said with a smirk.

Ne Zha made his way over and struck him in the face.

“The fuck was that for?!” Tommy yelled out, shoving Ne Zha away, his breathing slightly tense.

“I told you you wouldn’t recognize greatness. I was testing my theory.” Ne Zha smirked, before noticing something wasn’t quite right. “Are you okay? Did I hit you too hard?”

Tommy hesitated for a moment before scoffing, “Of course, I’m fucking fine your hit is fucking weak.”

Ne Zha’s expression softens. “I suppose I should… apologize again. I was out of line.”

Tommy once again seemed surprised at Ne Zha apologizing, before scoffing, “It’s whatever I don't fucking care.”

“Right.” Ne Zha smiled softly. Ace raised an eyebrow.

Slime found a random bone and inserted it into himself.

Ace watched in fascination and slight horror.

“Hiiiii!!!” Slime waved at Ace, smiling.

Ace waved back, smiling.

Slime kept waving.

Ace sweated but kept waving.

Slime kept smiling as he continued waving.

Ace stops waving in the hopes Slime would also stop.

Slime doesn't stop.

“You… can stop waving now.” Ace looked around and then back at Slime.

Slime just kept waving.

“...” Ace slowly backed up.

Slime didn't stop waving.

“Ooookay…. Buh bye now.” Ace points in the opposite direction, before heading that way.

Slime follows, still waving.

Ace takes a deep breath.

Slime prefers waving to breathing.

Ace sighs, accepting her fate.

Slime does not sigh and instead waves, Quackity watching in mild confusion.

“Are you broken?” Ace whispers to Slime, poking him.

“No, I am very normal human!” Slime smiled as he kept waving.

Ace tries to make him stop waving.

He doesn't.

“Oookay… maybe you are capable of being bothersome.” Ace mutters.

“Want some salmon?” Slime asked, holding out some with his non-waving hand. Fundy watches in horror as he returns.

“....Nope.” Ace smiles politely before trying to walk away again.

Fundy starts just kinda crying as he saw the fish. Slime follows Ace, waving.

Ace’s eye twitched.

Slime smiled, waving.

“... Where’s your friend?” Ace pinched the bridge of her nose.

“Which one?” Slime asked, smiling while waving.

“The one who keeps shooting Rika.”

“Oh, he’s over there!” Slime said, pointing at Quackity with his nonwaving hand. Quackity was laughing his ass off.

“Cool, go wave at him.” Ace gently tries to push Slime over there.

Slime drags her along as he keeps waving.

Ace looks dead inside.

“Having fun?” Quackity asked with a laugh. Slime nodded as he stopped waving.

“Oh great, I’ll just be on my way then.” Ace turns and walks away.

“You don't want a drink or anything? I’ll make sure it’s one Slime hasn't touched.” Quackity offered with a smile.

“I’ll pass, I don’t know if you noticed but I'm really good at avoiding you.”

“Right, well I’m pretty good at tracking people.” Quackity said with a smirk.

“Why am I being tormented today?” Ace huffed.

“Who’s tormenting you?” Slime asked.

Ace’s eye twitched.

Slime waved at her.

Ace walks away.

Slime followed.

“Get your friend please.” Ace calls out.

“Oki!” Slime said before he started dragging Quackity with him.

“.....” Ace facepalms.

Slime smiled.

“Are we done yet?” Ace asked flatly.

“No!” Slime smiled.

“...”

Slime waved.

Ace sighs.

Quackity was laughing his ass off.

“Yes yes, very funny.” Ace massaged her temples.

“You’re right, it is funny.” Quackity smirked.

“Kill me.”

“I’ll pass.” Quackity said with a small shrug.

“That’s really inconsiderate of you.”

Slime kept waving.

“.... What can I do to be freed of this limbo?” Ace grumbles.

“Die!” Slime smiled.

“I’m trying!” Ace put her hands up in frustration.

“Try harder!” Slime gave a thumbs up.

“Kill me pretty please with a cherry on top?”

“Nope.” Quackity said with a small shrug.

“Darn.” Ace frowned.

“You two going to kiss?” Slime asked with a smile.

Ace slow turns to look at Slime. “Dude… we don’t even know each other."

“Oh oki!” Slime gave a thumbs up.

“The fuck is everyone shipping me for?” Ace facepalms yet again, done with this.

“Ship?” Slime asked before putting a boat down for the two.

“....” Ace sweats.

Slime gave a thumbs up.

“Free me.” Ace huffed.

“How?” Slime questioned.

“....... Stop torturing me.”

“Whoevers torturing Ace stop.” Slime huffed with Quackity laughing.

“... Thank you.” Ace gave a tired smile, just giving up.

Slime went back to waving.

“You make me want to resort to alcoholism.”

Slime offered a drink.

“... I’ll pass.”

“But alcoholism?" Slime asked.

“No offense but I refuse to consume anything offered by you.” Ace pats him on the shoulder.

“Why not?” Slime whined.

“High risk of contamination.”

“Don’t worry, worst case is a lil bit of me in you!” Slime smiled.

“That sounds terrible.” Ace states.

“It is.” Fundy stated.

“You poor thing.”

“Yeah yeah so sad for him.” Quackity said sarcastically.

“You’re so mean, you bully your workers, you shot my friend, and you refused to put me down.” Ace points out.

“Please, I’m by far one of the best people here.” Quackity smirked.

“Are you??” Ace raised an eyebrow skeptically.

“I really am.” Quackity said with a smirk.

“Well shit, then I wanna go home.”

“I don't." Rika pouted.

Ace waves at Rika.

Rika waves at Ace.

Ace jumps for joy.

Quackity shot Rika again.

Ace frowns. Redson sighs. “Is that really necessary?”

“Regen?” Quackity questioned with a smirk noticing Rika hadn't died.

“Immortality.” Redson corrected.

“... I see.” Quackity smirked at that.

“Why are you smirking?” Ace raised an eyebrow. “Don’t treat my friend as target practice please.”

“I won't. Just have a few other ideas.” Quackity said with a shrug, smirking.

“Ohboy.” Ace sweats.

“Don’t worry, nothing that's probably too painful.” Quackity shrugged.

“Ohmygod you’re the worst.” Ace decides right then and there. Redson nodded. “Seems like a fair assumption.”

“I think he’s alright.” Rika said with a small shrug.

Redson looked at them like they were insane.

Rika smiled before dancing with an arrow sticking out of them.

Redson huffed, yanking the arrow out.

A flood of blood came flying out of the hole.

Redson sweats. “You uh… got a little something there…”

“Oh!” Rika started licking the blood.

Redson looked mildly uncomfortable.

Rika gave a thumbs up.

Ace slowly backed away as Redson just patted their head.

“How much you win?” Tommy asked, looking at Mei as he remained atop the machine.

“Nothing.” Mei frowned.

“Sucks to suck.” Tommy said with a smirk as he held a bag of winnings… There was one diamond in it.

Mei stared in awe. “You’re RICH!”

“Damn right I am!” Tommy said with a smirk.

Mei is jolly.

Tommy is also jolly.

“Wow you’re so cool. So cool and rich.” Mei applauds.

“Damn right I am!” Tommy said cockily with a smirk.

“Yay!”

Rika started dancing.

Mei starts dancing.

Tommy laughs at this.

Mei starts full on breakdancing.

Rika joined in.

Redson watched in embarrassment.

Rika tried to drag him into breakdancing as well.

Redson nearly sets them on fire.

“Bully!” Rika stuck their tongue out at Redson.

Redson smirked, reciprocating.

Slime also stuck his tongue out at Redson.

Ace shook her head at Slime.

Slime waved at Ace.

Ace nearly breaks down on the spot.

Slime keeps waving.

Ace buried her face into her hands. Ne Zha sighed and made his way over, gently dragging her away.

Slime waved at the two.

Ace starts crying. Big fucking crybaby. Ne Zha rolled his eyes.

Slime pats Ace on the back.

“...” Ne Zha shook his head. “Ignore her.”

“Will do,” Tommy said with a shrug.

Ne Zha raised an eyebrow.

“What, cant say I’ll fucking listen to you?” Tommy scoffed.

Ne Zha smiles. “No no, I just didn’t realize you were a part of the conversation.”

“I can be part of any fucking conversation I want.” Tommy smirked.

“I suppose.” Ne Zha shrugs.

“Damn right!” Tommy said cockily, his tail giving a small flick.

“You’re an endearing one.” Ne Zha admits with a huff.

“I’m fucking amazing.” Tommy smirked.

“I’m sure.”

“You better be!” Tommy laughed.

“Someone’s confident.” Macaque mocked, emerging beside Tommy, flicking him gently.

“Fuck!” Tommy cussed as he flinched, going to throw a punch at Macaque.

“Woah- easy, easy.” Macaque held his hands up.

“Next time give a fucking heads up.” Tommy grumbled as he looked away.

“Sheesh, note taken.” Macaque lowered his hands.

“That’s what I fucking thought.” Tommy said with a small smirk, though still somewhat tense.

“Are you done gambling?” Macaque teased.

“Nope!” Tommy smirked, jumping off the machine, only to let out a cuss and tense up as he hurt himself just slightly from the fall.

“You okay?” Macaque called out. Mei made her way back over to check in on him.

“I’m fuckin fine.” Tommy scoffed as he quickly pulled out and ate a loaf of bread.

“Where did you-?” Macaque cut himself off, shaking his head and hopping down.

“Inventory.” Tommy shrugged like it was normal.

“O…kay.” Macaque chuckled.

Tommy let out a small huff as he stood, his tail giving a small flick.

“You gonna gamble with your ginormous winnings?” Macaque mocked sarcastically.

“Damn right.” Tommy said, forcing on a small smirk.

“Have fun with that.” Macaque gave a thumbs up and a smirk of his own.

“I’m going all in baby!” Tommy exclaimed. He lost.

“Oooh… better luck next time.” Macaque pats his shoulder.

“I mean I do have some moreeeeeee.” Tommy said with a smirk looking at an ender chest.

“....” Macaque gave him a look that said he didn’t recommend it.

Tommy, known for not listening to others, decided to keep gambling.

Macaque sighs, shaking his head fondly.

“I’m cutting you off there kid.” Quackity said, stepping in front of the ender chest before Tommy could reach it.

“Thanks.” Macaque sighs in relief at this. “Does this guy listen ever…?”

“Fuck you!” Tommy said, flipping Macaque off.

Macaque playfully pinched his cheek.

“Fuck off, fuckin bitch!” Tommy cussed, trying to bite his arm.

“Are you a cat?”

“No I’m fucking Tommy!” Tommy scoffed.

Ace waves at Tommy, done with her meltdown. Macaque looked over. “I forgot she was here.”

“I’ve just been ignoring her.” Tommy said with a smirk as he shrugged.

“Oh so you DO know how to listen.” Macaque teased.

“Yeah, just not to bitches!” Tommy smirked.

“Rude.” Macaque laughs.

“But true.” Tommy smirked.

“Ooooh, ouch.” Macaque put a hand to his heart, tail swaying.

“Damn right ouch!” Tommy chuckled, his own tail giving a small flick.

Wukong watched them with a knowing smirk.

Slime started dancing.

Mei joined in.

Rika also joined in.

MK and Redson just kinda sigh in unison.

Quackity shot at Rika again.

Ace looked at him, shaking her head in disappointment.

Rika kept dancing.

Redson looked incredibly concerned.

Quackity decided to shoot again.

“... Why…?” Redson asked.

“Just want to see how far it’d go.” Quackity said with a shrug. Rika kept dancing.

Ace very very discreetly tries to take the bow so no more shooting.

“And what are you doing?” Quackity asked with a smirk as he looked at Ace.

Ace sweats. “Noooothing. Hey can I see that bow pretty please?”

“I think you can see from there.” Quackity smirked.

“Nnnno actually im super blind and can’t see unless im holding the thing.” Ace lies.

Slime put himself in Ace’s arms, waving.

Ace waves at Slime. “Hello! I still need that bow.”

Slime gave her another bow.

“I need THAT bow.” Ace points to the offending bow.

Slime gave her a different bow.

Ace puts Slime down and goes back to thieving.

Quackity chuckled and decided to let Ace try.

“You are making avoiding verbal interactions very difficult, give me the bow and stop shooting my friend.”

“Hmmmmm I don't know, what do I get out of it?” Quackity asked with a smirk.

“........... I don’t know, what do you want? I’m kinda poor.”

“I want an arrow!” Rika exclaimed with a smile.

“You’ve been shot with like 10 of them.” Ace points out. “That’s what I’m trying to prevent.”

“Bully.” Rika huffed. 

Quackity shot another arrow at Rika.

Ace tries to take the bow. “Give it here!”

“And if I don't?" Quackity asked with a smirk.

“I uh…. I’ll… I don't fucking know, give me the bow!” Ace held her hand out expectantly.

“I don't know.” Quackity smirked.

Ace glares.

Quackity smirks as he slowly starts drawing his bow again.

“You suck.” Ace stuck her tongue out.

“Sure, I do.” Quackity laughed.

“...”  Ace tries to snatch the bow again. Ne Zha facepalms, getting secondhand embarrassment.

Quackity laughed as she tried to steal the bow.

“Fuck. What can I do to get you to stop shooting my friend?”

“Be better at stealing I guess.” Quackity shrugged with a smirk.

“Touche.” Ace huffs.

Quackity shot Rika again. Rika cheered.

Ace gives up.

Rika went back to dancing.

Redson goes over and drags Rika away.

“Awwww mannnn.” Rika whines as they're dragged away.

“It’s for your own good.” Redson huffed, picking them up and slinging them over his shoulder.

Quackity decided to show Rika one last time.

Redson takes a deep breath.

“Yay pain!” Rika cheered.

“You…are so concerning.” Redson mutters, carrying them out of line of sight.

Quackity smirked and put his bow away.

Ace was still glaring at him like he had committed some heinous act.

Slime waved at her.

Ace stops glaring to wave back.

Slime kept waving.

Ace sweats. “Not again…”

‘What again?” Slime asked.

She simply sits on the floor and accepts her fate in silence.

Slime sat next to her.

“... I’m taking you with me when I leave.”

“Oki!” Slime smiled.

“Wait shit doesn’t that mean… whatever we’re all immortals anyway. You’re stuck now.”

“Oki!” Slime gave a thumbs up.

Ace lays down. Ne Zha wrinkled his nose at this.

Slime laid on top of Ace.

Ne Zha sighs, shaking his head. “I can’t believe I’m associated with these idiots.”

“Can say the same with most of the people here.” Tommy said with a small smirk.

Ne Zha smiled at Tommy. “Yes yes, we get it, you're the ‘superior’ person.” He huffed, doing air quotes.

“Damn right I am.” Tommy said with his tail flicking.

“Did you enjoy your time spent gambling?” Ne Zha hummed.

“I sure fucking did.” Tommy said with a nod while smirking.

“Good. I’m glad.” Ne Zha smiles softly.

“Don’t know why no one else besides me and Mei gambled.” Tommy said with a small shrug, his tail flicking.

“We don’t have any money.” MK smiles.

“Hah, fucking poor!” Tommy laughed as he pointed at MK.

“We have money from OUR world, just not yours.” MK sweats.

“Still poor here!” Tommy laughed as he pointed at MK.

“... Yeesh.” MK frowned.

“Wait- how old are all of you?” Tommy asked as he raised an eyebrow looking at them.

“.... That’s a big question.” MK chuckled. “Mei and I are 21. The youngest.”

“Noooo fuck you.” Tommy said at the knowledge that on the smp he was still the youngest non kid.

“Uh… okay… anyway I think Monkey King is the oldest. Like… 5,000 give or take.” MK shrugs.

“Well Philza has a competitor for the oldest.” Tommy shrugged.

“How old is he?”

“Old.”

“Good talk.”

“How old is he…?” Tommy muttered to himself quietly as if he never actually thought to ask.

“Sooo what now?” Tang asked. “Do we head out? Stick around?”

“Actually it’d be best if you were to head out, I have some… business I need to attend to.” Quackity said with a smirk as he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.

“Great. We’ll be on our way then.” Ne Zha huffed, going to grab Ace to drag her.

“Right this way bois! And two girls.” Tommy said as he left for the nether portal once again.

They follow. Ace waves to Slime.

Slime doesn't wave back.

Ne Zha continues to drag Ace.

“Time to enter hell once again!” Tommy said as he entered through the portal once again.

“Yay!” Mei cheered.

Hell was hot. There were also screaming creatures below them. Tommy did not care.

“Eugh…” MK winced.

“What, never heard a ghast before?" Tommy raised an eyebrow with a smirk.

“No.”

“Welp time for a detour!" Tommy said, deciding to head down to the main nether to show MK a ghast.

MK looks not thrilled.

“Don’t worry you have me to protect you!” Tommy said with a smirk.

“Pssh, I’m not scared!” MK sweats.

“Good.” Tommy said as they entered to put simply with all the red and lava, hell.

“.....” MK huffs.

“So this is the nether or just hell, be careful of the piglins since you all have no gold armor.” Tommy said with a small shrug.

“Lovely.” Macaque said sarcastically.

“Now time to find a-” Tommy started before a creature let out a cry with a fireball flying and missing his head by an inch. “We found a ghast!”

MK tenses a bit, looking at the ghast. Wukong leans on MK. “Damn kid, look at that!”

“Wanna see something cool?” Tommy said as he looked at MK with a smirk.

“Not really…” MK huffs.

Tommy huffed, glaring at him before pulling out a sword, and when the next fire ball came Tommy hit it, sending it back to the Ghast.

Pigsy’s expression darkened. Tang covered Pigsy’s eyes. “Maybe not in front of him. It brings back… past addictions.”

“Weirdo.” Tommy said with a small shrug.

“Trust me, you don’t wanna see him at his lows.” Tang sweats.

“Rightttttt. Welp, if you ever for some reason get trapped here and have to fight a ghast you know how to.” Tommy said with a shrug.

“Why does this sound like foreshadowing?” MK asked.

“Lotta weird shit happens here.” Tommy said with a small shrug.

“Clearly.” Wukong smirked.

“The fuck that’s supposed to mean?!” Tommy huffs as he glares at Wukong.

“...... That weird shit happens here.” Wukong deadpanned.

“Like what?” Tommy huffed.

“That weird guy back there.” Wukong shrugs.

“Quackity’s not that weird.” Tommy stated.

“The other one.”

“Oh yeah, Fundy is a bit weird- but not thattttt weird.” Tommy shrugged.

“... Other other one….”

“Purpled is also pretty weird but eh, kinda just forget he exists.” Tommy shrugged.

“Other… other… other one…”

“I don't know who you’re talking bout then.” Tommy shrugged.

“... Okay.” Wukong sighs.

“Can I get shot again?” Rika asked.

“No.” Ace huffs, being dropped by Ne Zha.

“Aw shucks.” Rika huffed.

“Weirdo.” Ace grumbled.

“Ace-do.” Rika grumbled.

“Aw…” Ace frowned.

“The fuck does that even…?” Tommy started before shrugging, “Welp, he’s seen a ghast we can return home.”

“Finally.” MK muttered.

“Actually maybe we should see if we can find Ghasts mating.” Tommy smirked.

MK looked horrified.

“This way!” Tommy said pointing in a random direction.

Reluctantly, they follow. MK buried his face into his hands.

Tommy continued walking, not knowing where he was going.

“Sooo…” Mei looked around. “What could possibly be the reason for you wanting to show us that?”

“To be on the first of the smp to see it!” Tommy smirked, he just wanted to torment MK cus funny.

Mei wrapped her arm around MK. MK was not okay.

Tommy smirked.

“Be nice.” Macaque playfully scolded.

“I am, just want to see something beautiful.” Tommy said, batting his eyelashes.

“Pray tell, how is that beautiful?” Macaque smirked.

“Circle of life?” Tommy suggested with a shrug.

“Fair enough.” Macaque laughs. MK looks mortified.

“This is going to be great.” Tommy smirked. Tommy was lost.

“You sure you know where we’re going?” Wukong asked.

“Are you the person who lives here?” Tommy asked with a smirk.

“No but it seems like aimless wandering.” He huffed.

“It is not aimless wandering.” Tommy huffed.

“If you say so, bud.” Wukong smirks, arms crossed, tail flicking.

“And I do!” Tommy smirked.

“Great.” Wukong chuckled. MK sweats. “Maybe we should go back now.”

“Why should we do tha-” Tommy started before a Ghast shot a fire ball right in front of him.

MK gestures to the Ghast, other hand hovering next to his ear.

“Ghasts in your ear?” Tommy questioned.

MK pulled his staff out of his ear, growing it to normal size.

“Ghasts in your weird stick?” Tommy asked.

MK sighs, annoyed. “No.”

“Right, well you can leave if you want.” Tommy shrugged.

MK sighs again. He shook his head. “I’m fine. I’ll be fine! I’m a big brave boy.”

“Not as brave as me.” Tommy smirked.

MK goes to argue but is stopped by Macaque, who puts a hand on MK’s shoulder. MK sulks in response.

Tommy decided to keep walking with a smirk.

“I’m bored.” Mei whines.

“Make some gold armor and trade with some piglin’s.” Tommy said with a small shrug.

Mei frowns in poor.

Tommy tosses her a few gold blocks.

Mei cheers in rich.

“Now you can make gold armor and trade.” Tommy said with a shrug.

“...How?”

“Crafting table.” Tommy said like it was obvious.

“... Can I just chuck gold at them?”

“Ingots. Will attack you without armor.” Tommy stated.

Mei frowns. “Aw man…”

“How do people not know this shit.” Tommy remarked, his tail giving a small flick.

“Different world.” Macaque reminds him.

“What's next you don't have a hunger bar?” Tommy remarked sarcastically.

“No.” Macaque smirks.

“Fucking weirdos.” Tommy muttered.

“Riiiiight.” He chuckles, hands in his pockets.

“Right well should be getting to wherever Ghasts breed soon.” Tommy remarked as he looked around, no idea where they were.

“Sooooooooooooo…” MK kept his eyes down. “Uh…”

“Come here often?” Tommy asked.

“Nope.” MK smiled.

“Fucking sucks.” Tommy said before shrugging and deciding to put a bed down.

MK is flabbergasted. “A whole bed… you just- oh my god.”

“Can you not do that?” Tommy questioned, before a smirk grew on his face, “Why don't you just take a quick rest?” he said, backing up a bit.

“I.. don’t think it’s the time or place…” MK sweats.

“... Why don't you just feel it?” Tommy suggested, backing up a bit more.

“Suspicious.” MK narrowed his eyes. Mei, however, pets the bed.

The bed fucking explodes.

Mei is completely unphased. The others are not.

Tommy lets out a laugh at this, wiping his eyes, “Fuck that was good- fucking oldest trick in the book!”

“WHY DID THE BED EXPLODE??” MK looked just moderately terrified.

“They just do here!” Tommy laughed.

Mei gives a thumbs up.

“God that was good.” Tommy said, chuckling.

“Damn.” Macaque blinked. “Ruthless.”

“At least you know not to do that shit again- unless looking for netherite.” Tommy said with a smirk.

“Ooooh whazzat?” Mei asked.

“This- rarest material that makes the strongest shit.” Tommy said with a smirk as he held a piece of the black material.

“Oooooooohhh! Gimme gimme!” Mei makes grabby hands.

“Fuck no, I worked hard for this, mine some of your own.” Tommy said as he stuck his tongue out at her.

Mei frowned, sticking her tongue out back.

Tommy kept sticking his tongue out at her.

Mei tackles him.

“Fucking get off of me!” Tommy yells out panicked as he goes to hit her away with his sword.

Mei ragdolls. MK sweats.

“Fuck…” Tommy huffs under his quick breaths as he just sits there for a moment.

Ne Zha knelt down next to Tommy. “You okay?”

“…” Tommy hesitated for a moment before getting up, “I’m fine.”

“Clearly not.” Ne Zha stands up. “The kids are… energetic to say the least. I apologize on their behalf, especially Mei’s.”

“It’s fine, stop apologizing for every fucking thing.” Tommy grumbled as he looked away.

“Hey kid.” Wukong smirked. “Do you know what a hug is?”

“Why do you care?” Tommy huffed.

“Do you?” Wukong repeats.

“Some kind of, I don’t know, war strategy or some shit? Why should I care?” Tommy scoffed as he glared at him.

“Okay, so don’t panic or anything, but my friend Macaque over here is gonna demonstrate.” Wukong grins, patting Macaque on the back. Macaque rolled his eyes.

“Becuase don’t panic is always something good to hear.” Tommy grumbled sarcastically under his breath.

“Are you cool with me being up in your personal space?” Macaque asked. “Because that’s kinda necessary for a hug.”

“Fuck no.” Tommy scoffed, clearly tense.

“Would you rather I show you what a hug looks like first?” Macaque mocked affectionately.

“I don’t fucking care.” Tommy grumbled.

“Great. Shit uh… kid, pick someone.” Macaque gestured to the group.

“I don’t fucking know, MK?” Tommy huffed.

Macaque shrugs, looking at MK. When MK nodded, Macaque hugged him. MK apparently really needed the hug because he teared up. Afterwards, Macaque pulled back, smirking. “See? Harmless. Soooo…?”

“Don’t know why anybody would like that shit.” Tommy remarked with a huff, his tail giving a small flick.

“You won’t understand until you experience it.” Macaque held his arms out.

“Well who says I need to experience it?” Tommy said, sticking his tongue out at Macaque.

Macaque sighs, arms still out. “Look kid, I’m not gonna force you into this, but I think you should give it a go.”

Tommy let out a small huff, before reluctantly going into Macaque’s arms.

Macaque gently hugs Tommy.

Tommy at first was tense, before just kinda letting himself lean into the comfort, something he felt so rarely.

Macaque chuckles, rubbing his back, trying to keep his touch light so as to not overwhelm the poor kid.

Tommy just simply closed his eyes as he leaned into the hug.

Macaque sighs. “Not so bad huh?” He teased lightly, tail swaying.

“Yeah yeah whatever.” Tommy grumbled under his breath.

“You don’t have to pretend to be all nonchalant all of the time. You’re just a kid. Be a kid.” Macaque huffed.

“I… I don't know if I can anymore.” Tommy muttered under his breath, thinking back to what he heard when he was-... a while ago.

“Doesn’t hurt to try.” Macaque suggests softly.

“It could.” Tommy stated.

“That’s what adults who care for you are there for. Oversized shields.” Macaque said playfully.

“I…” Tommy just looked away, he was so used to being his own shield.

“Fun fact, you’re not alone, you don’t have to face everything like you are.” Macaque smirked. “I should know better than most.”

If you had asked Tommy, he would tell you he never cries, that crying is for bitches, and that he wasn't a bitch.

But at that moment he did cry.

Macaque sighs, holding him just a bit tighter.
