12:00pm Till Sundown

Coming to conclusions

"Dude who is that?" I whisper to Alex. She shrugs and looks backward.

"Angel I think we, and everyone else whitelisted in the SMP, just got inserted in the game. My guess is this is probably Midnight and evil?" She whispers back. She puts her head back on the door.

"Maybe we should go check it out." Alex nods and opens the door. We both hold our breath.

"Alex? Angel?" One voice says, confused.

Thinking the same thing Alex was, I say: "Tea? What are you doing here?" Sometimes I forget he's in the server, so I'm guessing everyone else inactive will be here too. Great.

"I was wondering the same thing. One moment I'm doing online school the next my house disappeared and I'm in a game. I'm assuming that happened to you guys?" He suspected, leaning on a crafting bench.

Tea isn't my best friend,but he still is a trustable companion. He doesn't play minecraft often, but I'm sure his ego can make up for his experience.

(I'm sorry Tea)

"Yeah, we were just walking to class then we spawned in the plains, just that way" Alex points to the field her and I came from, the one she realized I wasn't eating enough.

Yeah that one.

"Night time is coming. We need to head to our houses and gather resources. If you guys didn't notice, you have a backpack. I'm implying that that is your inventory. Check to see if you have anything." Someone voices. We know who it is. It's...Ray.

Ray and Tea were talking earlier, so where is everyone else. Midnight, Magik, Alexa, and Evil.

"I don't understand," I take an apple out of my backpack and eat it. Oddly not that bad. "Ray what difficulty do you believe we're on?" I ask.

"I'm assuming normal, because that's what setting it was on when Alex made the world," He reported.

Normal? I can't even survive in the computer. What is this.

Rays skin looks different; he is in a suit without a tie and looks almost as white as Alex in real life. Then again I have no idea how often he changes his skin or anything.

"Alex you've been quiet for this whole time. Are you good?" Tea says.

"Sorry, I'm trying to figure out where everyone else could be."

"Umm...I have a guess." Everyone turns torwards me. "What if they spawned in the nether?"

Alex gasps. "We have to go get them."

"Alex?" Ray asks.

"We need to get everything we have and-"

"Alex!" Ray asks yet again.

"We need to get them. If they are in the nether without gear than they will die. And what if they spawned in the end? They can be anywhere. We have to-"

"ALEX!" I shout. "Alex calm down. We can get them. Just let's focus on sleeping and skipping the night. Tommorow we gather things. Next day we find them." I look over Alex's shoulder, Ray and Tea both nodding.

Seems we've agreed on something.

Except for Alex, who nods in defeat rather than excitement.

--Oh my goodness how dare I use a time stamp--

I knock on Rays door.

"Hey it's Angel, do you mind letting me in?" He opens the door and jestures me inside. His place is small but only because the amount of chests he has.

"What did you need? He looks at the clock, then back at me. Almost night.

"Ray how long have you been here? All the valuable information I've gotten has come from you about all....this." I put my hands up, bringing attention to not just this room, but to the entire SMP.

"Long enough that I've died once, and long enough I know that I don't want to die again." He says, quieter now.

"You died? How even-"

"Skeleton. Like the normal game they only come out at night, but unlike that in daytime they all migrate to the caves. The caves and the forest tavern. Their arrows hurt too,unlike anything I've ever felt. I know that while your in the game, you feel the pain." He looked at the clock again.

"Did anything happen that was significant while you died?" I wonder, intently waiting for a response.

"Don't tell anyone," he starts. "When you die you go into spectator mode in the end for like five minutes. That's where one person is, but I don't know who they are because I couldn't get a good look on them. All I know is that I died and all of my items went there. I don't know if that's good or bad but I find it really suspicious that my items went there instead of where I died."

"So they could be the cause of all this...?"

"My best guess is yes. They brought us here. We need to go to the end before they figure out how they kill us all, I saw them working on some potions. Some harmful potions." He stated.

Authors note:

So 850+ words. Nice.

Reminder number two, get out of your house.

Much thanks.
