When the game becomes reality (OLD WORK)

Chapter 19

 "Okay... just to see if I understood everything correctly. All of us have been here for different amounts of time. Phil has been here the longest with well over a month, then probably Techno with like 3 weeks, then Bad with roughly two weeks, George and Dream with a bit less than two weeks, me with one week and a bit and Tommy and Sapnap only a few days. Is that right?" "Sounds about right, yeah."

They had relight the campfire and huddled together in more blankets so they can all sit together, as the houses were too small for them all to fit. More food was prepared and shared between them, with Puffy and Bad eating more than they thought was possible. Puffy tried her best to piece the story together that she was being told, but it was a lot of input from six different people.

"Okay... and you guys managed to find a village nearby and know of the rough location of another one, are currently working on a stable to get horses and to make your base larger so everyone can fit." "Also correct." "And on top of that, you more or less figured out that the longer we stay here, the more we start to look like our actual Minecraft skin, which is the reason Phil is growing wings, Bad has his sharp teeth and you... look the way you do." "Yup. Well actually, I looked like this from day one. I don't really know why, but I guess because I am technically faceless? Even though I'm not really. But then I don't get why Dream gets a mask and I don't so... we don't really know."

Puffy nodded slowly before taking a sip of her water. "I mean, could have been worse. You actually look good with pink hair like this." "Um... thank you?" Phil next to him snickered at that, just to immediately squawk in protest when Techno hit him in the back of the head. "Don't laugh." "Where's the fun in that?" "I will turn you into a feather pillow." Phil laughed and allowed his wings to lift up a bit. "I don't even have feathers yet!" Techno huffed and pushed his hat down so it was covering his friend's eyes. "I can wait until you do, believe me."

George fully ignored the playful argument that started up and instead turned to Bad, who was happily munching on a potato while watching the two bicker, muttering a soft language when Phil started to cuss Techno out for attacking his precious hat. He was safely placed between Dream and Sapnap, a blanket around his shoulders and food and water in front of him. "So... what have you been up to while you were out there? Two weeks is a lot of time to be all by yourself." "I had Puffy." "Yeah but only for two days. Come on, tell us what you did out there."

Soon everyone's attention was on Bad as he began to talk about his adventures out in the wild.

"Okay so... let me think. I woke up in the middle of a birch forest pretty far away from here... I think. At first I was super confused on what is going on, then I thought it was a dream. I've had dreams about being in Minecraft before, so of course I thought that was what's going on. Once that realization came, I began to just walk around and explore. The birch forest was pretty big and I was stuck wandering around in it for like... two days. Since I thought it was a Minecraft dream, I wasn't that surprised when I spotted a Skeleton and a Creeper for the first time... I just avoided them the best I could.

During the first night I stayed in a small cave and experimented with all the crafting stuff before falling asleep. Next morning I continued to explore with a wood sword until I finally reached the edge of the forest and start of huge plains. There was a group of horses there and I decided to follow them around. They seemed to know where food and water was, so that was a good way of making sure I have enough of either.

I traveled with the horses for a few days. They didn't really mind me being there and I think I managed to befriend this cute baby horse that always wanted to play with me. At that point I also kinda accepted that this was a very... vivid dream. It was still pretty difficult to accept that everything was real.
