Katie has just blown up the front of Schlatt’s house, and herself, why?
well…
She was trying to kill that fuck-ass purple QR code after being a little bastard. But for some reason she decided to use TNT. Not the worst idea, it COULD’VE worked, but she somehow got unlucky and used insta-explosive TNT and just blew up herself.
Respawning, she woke up on a patch of grass. (Idk where else to spawn her.) She paused for a moment, processing what just happened…and when she did she let out a loud groan, that was so embarrassing… she laid there for a moment before finally getting up, she debated on just digging a hole in the ground and just staying there for the rest of her life.
But she didn’t, dragging her feet back to the island where Mr. J lives with a heavy sigh. Getting in a random abandoned boat to drive across the small lake. And getting off.
“Katie.” A gruff voice suddenly appearing from almost behind her. She whipped around before her eyes landed on him. Jschlatt !… he looked a little more mad then usual.
“Neighbor…!” She responded with her signature awkward chuckle, “I just want to say-“
“No, listen Katie.”
She gulped, her wings on the sides of her head folding.
“I gave you a chance, but you blew it. Literally! You fucking blew up the front of my damn house!” He scolded, but this was more of a serious scolding.
“Okay- Mr. Gig-“ maybe nicknames weren’t the best thing to use right now. “Schlatt, I will do anything to make it up to you! Chores, uh damn… what else, getting you recourses!” She tried to explain.
But Schlatt just groaned, rubbing his temples, a headache already starting to form as she rambled on. “Alright- alright! Just quit fuckin’ talking…”
Katie’s wings perked back up, “Say less boss!” She grinned.
“No- just, just clean this whole mess up. And make yourself useful, for once.” He grumbled, before going back inside his house.
She tilt her head, “for once” she repeated in her mind. She looked around and huffed. She can make herself useful… she’ll make herself so useful! (That was supposed to sound stupid on purpose)
So, quickly got to work. Patching up the destroyed grass in front and the bricks from the house. It didn’t take long which was surprising… She can do more… prove herself! She wasn’t useless!
Humming while she looked for more tasks that looked like Jschlatt could use help on. She can farm, make food, go mining… that’s all she really thought about, what else did he even like? well, anyways. She was off!
Schlatt just watched her take off from the window, or took a glance. She often left, he didn’t care. Not at all. . .
(Abrupt time-skip. sorryy)
Okay, what was taking her so long… it’s been at least 5 days. She usually was back in a day or two, but this was different. He blew some smoke out of his cigar and grumbled, putting it out and stretching. That was before a knock was at the door.
He can guess who it was.
And he was right.
Katie stood there, looking… tired, like really tired. “Mr. Giggles!” Okay, maybe he can just close the door and hope she will leave.
But before he could she walked in, and sighed. It was pretty obvious her body was tired and took some damage.
“I got you some gifts!” She said, placing all the ores and food on the table. Placing her weak arms on her hips, with that same damn grin as always.
“You got all this?” He suddenly said, skeptical she just stole all of it. She shook her head, not processing she was supposed to be a little offended at the accusation
…
Jschlatt was… surprised. He hummed at the sight of the diamonds and other rare things, nodding slightly. She just looked at his reaction, taking pride that she finally got him to give her an approving nod!
“Well… you’re welcome ! Is there anything else I can get for ya? Neighbor.” She tilt her head, her glasses hid her eyes. But they were obviously drooping from exhaustion.
Jschlatt just stepped back and sneered, taking his cigarette back out and lighting it. “Ain’t you tired?” He mummers,
She just shook her head. Jschlatt huffed in amusement “yeah right. Nah, I don’t need anything. Just go to sleep, you look dead.”
She paused, “really?”
He looked back at her, “what? I ain’t forcing you to stay up.”
She hesitated, she still wanted to do more favors for him. But she guessed he wasn’t wrong, she started feeling the exhaustion kicking in. She then nodded,
Sitting on the couch before suddenly collapsing. She was a bit tall for it, but she managed to fit. He stared at her for a moment, before back at the ores.
And left.
…
Don’t ask how his coat magically appeared over her as a makeshift blanket.
