After Parrot was kicked out of his kingdom and spawn by saparata, he eventually found Theo and Reina again, and spent a good portion of their time setting up a camp so they have a place to store their stuff in.
On a random day after they got exiled to a forest, Reina asks Parrot something she said a while back "Parrot, you said a while back that the server used to be fun to play on."
Parrot looked at Reina "yeah, what about it?"
"Im curious. Did people starve like how they do right now?" Reina adjusted the campfire so the steak can continue cooking
Parrot thought for a while so Theo replied "hm, no. Atleast not before the invis mafia's fall"
Reina blinked completely confused at the invis mafia's mention "whats the invis mafia?"
Theo who was busy cleaning his weapon after a fight with a few bandits looked over to Parrot so he could respond "to keep it short, the invis mafia was a team that tried to rule over the server. Their leader ashswag had stasis chambers over the void so if their invis ran out they die"
Theo leaned on the wooden logs, reminiscing on the past "mhm, i still remember back when me and Parrot first met. And how we fought the mafia with a rebelion."
Reina observed the two birds, while contemplating the awnser to her question
"So have you guys been friends since childhood" Reina's new question caught the attention of Theo "nah. No, we weren't. I meet Parrot way later. Wifies was the one who had been friends with Parrot since childhood"
Parrot flinched a little "yeah... Wifies was my best friend... But spoke wemmbu and jamatop actually knew me before him"
Reina noticed how Parrot was trying to switch up the topic pretty easily and didnt say anything.
Theo was actually supprised that wifies wasnt the one Parrot knew first "Your telling me spoke and wemmbu knew you first?? This is the first time i heard this"
"Well, spoke and jamato had always been best friends up until jamato disspeared. None of us found out what happened to him but... I don't know." Parrot scratched his arm
"Still, i cant believe i only found out about it now" Theo chimed in
Reina gave Theo and unimpressed look "i still remember something from back then" Parrot giggles a little which only made Reina and Theo curious "i remember when the end still had elytras and spoke went to get some, but when he came back to spawn he told me that wemmbu stole all of them."
"Huh, so wemmbu was always like that"
"Thats unfourtunate for spoke. I kinda feel bad" Reina scratched her chin
"Yeah. Actually, i remember Wemmbu being rich back then. Well, he is now still, but he was more rich back then" Parrot thought more closely "really? Like how rich are we talking about" Theo who had been cleaning his sword turned his gaze to Parrot
"Bro this kid had a whole mansion. Back when i had nothing to do i usually do favors for only a few people and one of those people was wemmbus teacher, and i got a chance to visit wemmbus mansion. So probably stacks on stacks of netherite blocks." Parrot sighed
Reina continued to manage the campfire but the idea of people being that rich stuck with her for awhile as Parrot and Theo continued to talk until she found the chance to ask them
"Guys, why is there never ores now? Back in skymore, when we were just starting, people went down into the caves but they said that there were no ores"
Parrot and Theo simultaneously looked at eachother before Parrot awnserd Reina's question "its because of the people previously in the server aswell as the invis mafia"
"Ah. I see. Did you guys ever find out what happened to all the gear and lot after the invis mafia?"
Theo continued cleaning his other weapons "no, not really. I didnt really care at the time so, who knows"
Parrot scoffed and closed his eyes before opening them again "Theo do you have any stories?"
Theo glanced over "actually, yeah. I do. Back then, during the... prince zam empire time period i think? i had an incounter with flame and mane. I was... Sorta stupid and decided to pick a fight with them"
"Yeah? And how did that turn out" Reina was already ready to make fun of Theo "well, i might've lost horribly, but i didnt have any carts on me at the time since i was broke okay!" Theo sulked quietly while Parrot and Reina laughed
"Oh bro... i wish i saw that" Parrot whiped a tear off his face "okay like you don't have to rub it in" Theo pouted
Parrot patted Theo's shoulder, trying to console him after that while Reina giggled "Okay okay, lets just continue. I remember when prince zam was trying to advertise her empire though"
Theo stopped sulking the moment that got brought up "i remember that, he were trying REALLY hard to advertise but people just kept ignoring them to the point zam got annoyed and started calling people out on who ignored him. That was pretty funny"
"Well atleast people litsened after he started yelling at them. Right?" Reina titled her head
"Oh... Yeah no.. they continued to ignored zam even harder. Heh, zam eventually gave up trying to advertise and left spawn" Parrot replied
"Damn if i were zam i wouldve been ready to blow up the intire spawn because of that honestly." Theo added while eating the steak they left to cook at the campfire "well its a good thing you arent zam" Reina took a steak herself
The trio continued to talk more and more until the sun went up. Their endless chatter had filled their empty seroundings and their situation. However, that was something they need to worry about later for now though, they can talk all about the past without worry
