Chapter 46: Can We Trust You?

It was a peaceful afternoon in Pogtopia, Or, well, as peaceful as Pogtopia could get. Per usual, someone was yelling about something. Probably Tommy. Who knew what he was on about this time. Sighing and putting down the book she was reading, Nessa went to see what the commotion was. Following the sounds of shouting, she found Tommy and Tubbo standing in the kitchen, arguing. 

Nessa sighed and put her hands on her hips. "I swear, I'm always the one who has to act like the mom. Why the fuck are you arguing?" Tommy pointed at Tubbo. "Goat boy ate the last piece of that nettle thing you made!" Tubbo glared at him. "Well how was I supposed to know you wanted it, dickhead?" Nessa pinched the bridge of her nose. "You two are such children. I can make more." 

Tommy looked at her like he had just realized this. "Ohhhhhhh. You're smart!" "No, I'm just not an idiot." Nessa responded. "Anyway, I'm going for a walk. Don't try to find me, and if Wilbur asks where I am, tell him to fuck off." With that, she walked out of the room. 

Once she was outside, she immediately ran over to the woods and climbed a tree. Being in trees had never failed to make her feel a lot better, and boy, did she need that. Tension was high in Pogtopia, with Wilbur ready to blow Manberg to the ground at any given second. And Techno wasn't any help. After the festival, no one really trusted him except Wilbur. And currently, Wilbur trusted everyone and no one, so he didn't really count. 

Taking a few deep breaths, Nessa began to jump from tree to tree, making her way through the woods. But pretty soon, she saw something that made her stop in her tracks. Or rather, someone. 

Quackity? She thought, What the fuck is he doing here? Quietly, she started to move towards him. Once she was in the tree above him, she pulled out her crossbow and dropped down in front of him. "Don't move." she growled. Startled, Quackity put his hands in the air. "Calm down! I'm here to join you guys." 

Nessa hid her surprise. "What? Why? You're Schlatt's vice president. How do I know we can trust you?" Quackity shook his head. "You don't. But I swear, I'm here to help. Schlatt isn't the person I thought he was. He's a monster." 

Well no shit, Sherlock, Nessa thought. But she didn't say it out loud. "I'm bringing you to Wilbur. He'll decide if you get to stay or not. Although I'm not really sure if we can trust his judgement..." she said, muttering the last part. Quackity nodded. "Fine by me." Nessa led him back to Pogtopia, not putting her weapon away. 

Once they had reached the entrance, Nessa told him to wait. "I'll go get Wilbur." Quackity nodded, and Nessa went down into the ravine. Tommy saw her and waved. "How was your walk?" he called. Nessa responded in a completely deadpan voice. "Well, I found the vice president of the country that we're at war with wandering around in the woods, and he says he wants to join us. Now I have to go find out mentally unstable leader to see if we can trust him." Without waiting for a response, she walked off to find Wilbur, leaving Tommy very confused. 

Once she found Wilbur, she walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Uh, Will, I found Quackity in the woods. He says he wants to join us, but it's up to you." Wilbur looked up and sighed. "I'll come." Nessa led him back to where Quackity was waiting. 

"Well?" Wilbur asked. What makes you want to join our resistance?" Quackity looked up at Wilbur, and he looked dead serious, something that didn't happen much. "Schlatt isn't the person I thought he was. He's a terrible decision maker, and he doesn't treat anyone fairly. Plus he's drunk 24/7. I promise I won't betray you guys. I just want to do whatever it takes to take Schlatt down." 

Wilbur waved his hand. "You're in. I never really believed in loyalty, anyway. Nobody on this server has morals." He walked back into Pogtopia, and Nessa sighed. "Well, I guess you're in, even though I still don't really trust you. Welcome to the rebellion." Quackity just looked really confused. "What was up with Wilbur? He seemed... off." Nessa sighed Quietly. "It's a long story. I'll tell you later. Now come on, I'll show you around Pogtopia."
