Dana stared at her phone, at the group chat that she hadn’t sent a message in for several hours. Currently, she was watching D3rlord and Tina conversate, talking about Minecraft creepypastas.
[d3rlord3:] i doubt slenderman would make it into minecraft, tin can
[d3rlord3:] thats a level of creepypasta i dont think minecraft is capable of
[JoJosBizarreCuck:] its still a possibility!
[JoJosBizarreCuck:] also dont call me that
[JoJosBizarreCuck:] dicklord
[d3rlord3:] 🖕
Dana sighed, slumping her head forward. How was she going to explain what happened yesterday? “Hey guys, I saw Avery in the game and he fucking murdered my avatar and crashed my console!” That’s stupid.
But still… She had to find some way to tell them.
[T3rraH3ll:] hey i got news on avery
The chat bubbles disappeared. Dana gulped.
[T3rraH3ll:] i managed to join his world yesterday. i had to tp to him cause i was on a mountain for some fuckin reason
[d3rlord3:] spawnpoint cords, dw about it
[T3rraH3ll:] and when i saw him, he looked… really weird for some reason.
Dana hesitated, recalling that utterly mortified look on Avery’s face once she had popped in front of him.
[T3rraH3ll:] call me crazy but avery’s avatar looked almost.. alive. his face was changing and everything and his voice was coming out through my controller speaker like he was actually talking.
[d3rlord3:] shit, you too?
Dana’s eyes widened. She watched the chat bubble silently.
[d3rlord3:] when he came out from behind those weird gates we found, he was moving super fluidly. i thought it was just my game but apparently you’re seeing this too.
Dana started to type again.
[T3rraH3ll:] freaky as hell.
[T3rraH3ll:] anyway, after i showed up he started yelling at me to get out of here, and for some reason, he thought something had “locked the world up”
[T3rraH3ll:] didnt get a chance to ask him what he meant cause i was dead in minutes
[JoJosBizarreCuck:] did he kill you? L bozo get murdered
d3rlord3 muted JoJosBizarreCuck for 10 minutes.
[d3rlord3:] read the room tina jesus
[d3rlord3:] anyway thats fucking freaky as shit wtf
[T3rraH3ll:] yeah imagine how i feel
[T3rraH3ll:] also my console wont turn back on so thats fantastic
Dana watched D3r’s chat bubble appear and disappear several times. As she waited, she glanced over at her TV screen, still black from the shutoff. Then her phone pinged, and she turned her head back towards her screen.
[d3rlord3:] i think avery might be stuck inside the game andys apple farm style
Dana blinked.
[T3rraH3ll:] excuse me
[d3rlord3:] he’s moving like a normal person instead of the stiff default animations
[d3rlord3:] he’s talking to us instead of at us which is always the feeling when you type in the chat
[d3rlord3:] and you said he mentioned something locking the world up
[d3rlord3:] he’s trapped. he’s trapped in the game.
JoJosBizarreCuck is typing . . .
[JoJosBizarreCuck:] i dont even have a joke for that one. thats just terrifying.
Dana frantically typed a reply.
[T3rraH3ll:] well how do we get him out???
[d3rlord3:] no idea, the game i used for comparison hasnt updated in 5 years
Dana grumbled. As she sat back against the wall, her head hitting the plaster, she noticed D3rlord’s user pop up again.
[d3rlord3:] best we can do right now is find a way to keep him company. i cant imagine how lonely he is rn
[T3rraH3ll:] how tho, he seemed pretty insistent on keeping me out
[T3rraH3ll:] and as i said before he fucking murdered me
D3rlord’s username popped in and out of the bubble a few times.
[d3rlord3:] if i can just get into the game maybe i can try something. i found one of my backup controllers in a box in my room so i can get back on the game pretty soon once it gets hooked up.
Dana let out a sigh of relief.
[T3rraH3ll:] okay, good. you two were always a lot closer than we were
[d3rlord3:] i feel like that’s implying something.
[JoJosBizarreCuck:] GAYYYY
d3rlord3 muted JoJosBizarreCuck for 1 hour.
[d3rlord3:] getting sick of her
[d3rlord3:] ill try logging on tonight. will give updates if im successful.
Dana sighed.
[T3rraH3ll:] ok. Good luck
