Silent

The fact that people got pissed about the note cracks me up

Good :) It should make you mad :) /lh

This chapter is mostly dialogue.

Y/N's thoughts are written like sentences, but this is all going on in her head.

The ground beneath her feet was cold from the early morning frost. The blades of grass caught her boots and left drops of dew to soak through the material.

The morning was calm. The sun wasn't quite visible yet, but it's brilliant red and purple tones washed through the horizon as the day faded through the night.

The clouds had left, having rained their droplets and whisped away to who knows where.

It was quiet.

But Y/N's mind was anything but.

"You really ought to not do this. It's really stupid to go meet a bunch of people who hate you without backup."

That annoying little blob that claimed itself a god hadn't left her alone since this morning when she'd decided to heed the letters call and head out to meet them.

It had started with the occasional sentence, but not it was a full on conversation.

"Shut up." Y/N groaned for what felt like the hundredth time.

"I'm doing you a favor. You should be thanking me for playing the role of your apparent lack of a conscious." She could practically feel him - them? It? Her? Rolling it's eyes.

"I've done just fine without one. Thanks."

"Clearly not. You're an angry self-centered girl with relationship and trust issues and you don't even take care of yourself."

No need to be pointless blunt about it. "Thanks for pointing that out, XD." She sighed, standing up from her perch in the grass, crossing her arms as she looked up at the dim night sky.

"You're welcome."

"I was being sarcastic."

"I know."

"I kinda hate you right now."

"I also knew that. But hating me won't do you much good."

"Seemed to get you to shut up in the Nether."

"Only because your friends started asking what was wrong and I kinda need you to not appear crazy for this whole thing to work."  Was it self-conscious or something? Seems like a god would be able to do whatever it wanted.

"What 'thing'?"

"The thing I recruited you for." Oh real specific.

Y/N closed her eyes with an exhale, trying not to let her frustration boil over into anger. "You mean forced me into."

"Oh have it your way."

"Was that a Princess Bride reference?"

"A what?" How could it not know the Princess Bride!? It's one of the best books/movies ever. Was this thing illiterate??

"... Nevermind."

"Whatever. I need you to stop moping on the grass patch and get something for me." XD sounded slightly irritated now. Maybe it's caught her snarky comment, considering it could apparently read minds. Which was quite invasive if you asked her. But clearly no one was.
