The Prison in my Head-A DreamSMP Fanfic

A New Start

The steady beeping of my mechanical life force echoed in the back of my mind. The dark void of my mind slowly lighting up. A year ago, I had dm'd Dream to join the DreamSMP. That day, I was flown to the hospital where I was put into an endless sleep. I was unaware that night that I was accepted into the SMP.

A year ago, I would never had thought I'd actually be able to join the SMP let alone, even play Minecraft again. Yet here I am, admitted into a new hospital in Florida. This hospital offered me a new trial machine that allows me to vr Minecraft.

"Alright Hunter. It's the day we've all been waiting for. You comfortable? Ready?" Dr. Brown's voice echoed in my mind. I nodded, even though he couldn't tell that.

"Would you like to test the voice module?" I wasn't sure if I was ready to be completely honest. It's been a year since I've even heard the sound of my own voice. Dr. Brown took my silence as a no, "Well, that's alright. I'm gonna start up Minecraft for you, alright?"

Wait- was I still allowed to join the SMP? "Dr. Brown?" My voice was soft and shaky. I could hear the smile on Dr. Brown's face when he hummed in response. He was clearly proud that the voice module was a success. "What if I can't join the SMP or, something goes wrong?" I stared into the white void. "Don't worry about that. We've been in contact with Dream and he said you're whitelisted. Plus, if anything goes wrong, everyone here is on call to fix it immediately."

I took a deep breath at his words. "Okay then. I'm ready."

I stood strong as I heard the familiar Minecraft music sound all around me. The white void turned black again. Dr. Brown explained this as him logging into my account and throwing me into the server. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath preparing myself for the chance that the VR hardware failed.

"How's it looking?" I slowly opened my eyes and gasped. I stood staring at the dark brown bark of a spruce tree. Looking past the tree, I could see a dirt staircase along a wall of andesite and cobblestone. I feel in my pocket and find a tablet. I guess that's how I'll see "chat". I notice three people question my appearance: JackManifold, Tubbo, and Philza. Other than them, the only people on were Tommyinnit, Awesamdude, and Dream himself.

I type on the device a quick hello before climbing over the wall and heading off to find where everything was. Once I found the Community Building, I was able to find my around to find someone to talk to. I walked up the Prime Path avoiding the red vines that drooped over everything. Something about them made me uneasy. I kept walking until I saw a giant billboard that read, "Are under construction. Hard hats, construction vests, jeans, and boots required. Future site of the Big Innit Hotel." Standing in front of the billboard was Awesamdude and Tommyinnit.

I walked up to them and typed out "hello" to both of them. They both typed out hello back and the Sam invited me to join their VC. "Dr. Brown?"

"What's wrong Hunter?" I could hear the concern in his voice. "They want me to VC...Is that even possible?" I lowered my head to which Sam questioned in chat. "Only one way to find out. I'll put you in now."

I waited a moment tuning into ever sound I could hear. After a minute, I heard the high pitched laughter of Tommyinnit I used to hear from watching his streams. A gasp slipped through my lips. "Hello?" The anthropomorphic creeper sounded hesitant to greet me.

"H-Hello..." I stared at the wooden path under my feet. "DO YOU NEED SOMETHING?!" The Brit yelled. I flinched and took a step backwards. "Tommy! Don't yell at her. She's new." Sam punched Tommy. I heard him mumble an apology and then walk a couple steps away to rummage through a chest. 

"He deafened. Dream said he wanted to talk to you when you joined so you should head to the prison. I'll be right there when I'm done with Tommy." Sam turned and nodded towards Tommy who was clearing some weeds. "Thank you." I heard the click of me being pulled out of the VC and then made my way for the prison.
