Visiting Dream

The Plan

~~~

Third Person POV:

A couple of hours had passed and Dream had calmed down a bit. He was still unhappy but he wasn't fuming.

"So," Techno asked while punching a netherite block next to him, "how long does it take to break this?"

"The same amount of time it takes to break obsidian," Dream said while writing in his book, not looking up once.

"Any ideas to get out?" he asked hopefully.

"You were my idea person. You were supposed to get me out," Dream said looking accusingly at Techno.

"Anyways", he said quickly, "you said you were being tortured? Who's torturing you?"

Huffing as the traumatizing memories returned he said, "Quackity. Every day."

"Every day?"

"Yeah," Dream said quietly. "He comes in every day and he brings his tools because he's trying to get the revive book."

"Oh, right you can bring people back from the dead. How do you do that?" he asked curiously.

"I have.. the knowledge and I write something in a book and then I burn it and they come back from the dead."

"So what is the knowledge?" Techno asked, prying. "Is it like an incantation? Could you... tell me?" he asked hopefully.

Bursting out laughing Dream's iconic wheeze filled the small cell.

When he realized that the other man wasn't joking he stopped abruptly. "Of course I can't tell you. The knowledge is the only reason Sam and Quackity are keeping me alive."

"Well you don't have to tell them," Techno suggested.

"How do I know you won't betray me," Dream said narrowing his eyes.

"Fair point," Techno said with a shrug and a nod.

"Can I have some more potatoes?" Techno asked.

"Oh sure," Dream said handing him a couple.

"You seem to really like potatoes," Dream remarked as Techno bit into the raw vegetable.

"Well I do like nutrients and not starving but I also have a potato farm because potatoes are pretty pog."

"So what's the plan to get out of here?" he asked as the other ate.

"Well, I've been thinking and I think I have an idea. We have mining fatigue three but technically that doesn't mean we can't break blocks, it just means that we break them much more slowly. What I'm thinking is that we break out of here over a course of a couple of days."

"What if they come back and notice a block is broken?"

"Other than the fact that they haven't visited for over two weeks we can start digging under the toilet. They can't see it and even if they come in chances are they aren't going to go and look around there."

"Okay but what about the elder guardian?"

"Once the block under the toilet is broken the elder guardian will be directly under us so we will be able to kill it."

"Wait wait wait so we're just going to fight an elder guardian?"

"No, I'm going to fight it and if I die you can practice your necromancy and revive me so I can fight it until it's completely dead so you can continue digging."

"I have to dig?"

Rolling his eyes Techno said, "yes Dream you have to dig because I came up with the plan and I have to stay on the lookout. Also, don't forget that I'm going to have to fight the guardian and I'm trusting you with my life."

"So I start now?"

"Yeah man I mean do you have a better idea? Because you've been stuck in here for over six months," he said frustrated.

As he attacked the block he sighed, "you're right, there's not much left to lose now."
