The next March, Addison did not expect to see an email from someone claiming to be Mr. Beast, but hey. Shit's already weird.
Snow Lion,
You are invited to a Minecraft manhunt tournament.
Please respond soon.
-Mr. Beast.
Addison responded to the email quickly, telling them that she was in.
Addison dialed her girlfriend's number.
"What's wrong, why are you calling this early?" Weslyn asked, worried.
"Nothing is wrong yet," Addison clarified quickly. "I might have an opportunity."
"What kind of opportunity."
"Remember that competition I entered with Mr. Beast?"
"Wait, Mr. Beast?"
"Yeah, remember that manhunt tournament I tried to join? The make up for the botched convention last year? I'm in."
Silence from Weslyn. "Cool."
"You're still half asleep aren't you?"
"How could you tell?"
"I've known you for like ten years, you eejit."
"True."
Another email came in.
"I think I hear typing."
"There's a Minecraft server that I might be joining."
"Wait, you serious?"
"Why would I troll about this?"
"You...wouldn't?"
"Exactly."
Addison set the phone to speaker phone and set it to the side. She scrolled through the email, recognizing usernames that she wouldn't have known at the convention the year before.
"Alright, so...oh shit this is gonna be so dope."
"Addy, I can't see."
"Oh, right. Tournament on Friday at...2 CST. I'll have to make sure to eat lunch early-"
"Focus."
"Right. Big people are gonna be there. Like, Dream, BBH, I think Skep-"
"Wait, is Technoblade gonna be there?"
"I should hope so."
"Poooooog."
"Poooooog," Addison echoed before realizing something. "Oh no."
"What?"
"If Techno's there, he might be a hunter.""...Sucks for you."
"What do you mean 'sucks for you?'"
"The man's terrifying if he puts his mind to it."
"That's what I'm talking about! I'm gonna be fucked- what if it's him and Dream paired?"
"I pity the poor soul who gets hunted by those two."
"I get the feeling it's gonna be me."

Days passed until it was Friday. After tweeting about the changed stream schedule, she settled herself at her station and started her stream after opening Discord.
"Hey guys! How's it going?"
Some chats came in, and she saw Weslyn's username in chat as well. She smiled a bit.
