Tucker's POV

I sit up and rub my eyes. I feel a bit dizzy, and I have no idea what just happened. Then the red messages in the chat come back into my mind. What the hell did that mean? I look around. Well.. I'm certainly playing minecraft, that's for sure. It feels like I'm playing on oculus rift. I reach up to my head and am shocked to find.. A cube? A smooth, non-rounded cube? This is strange. That's when I realise. I am in minecraft. IN minecraft. Literally. I have to idea how this is possible. I manage to get up and.. I see a couple of pigs in the distance.. This is so unreal! I mean, I play minecraft every day in real life, but actually being IN the god damn game feels insane. I get excited for a split second, then it hits me. This is hardcore. Not survival. Hardcore. I try to double jump but I can't fly. So what happens if we.. Die? Game over? Fission mailed? Hmm.. Aha! This must of been what the messages in the chat meant. We joined the game. We... Oh my gosh I need to find Tom, Jordan and Sonja!

I look around cautiously. Yes! There's a village nearby. I proceed to walk to it across the grass. As I approach, I notice a name. Great! I'm not alone. The name is quite long so I figure it must be Sonja. I sprint towards her and hug her. She hugs me back.

"What the hell is happening?" she asks, and I realise that team speak isn't working, but we're in the game like we're in a real world, so I can hear her within a certain radius.

"I don't know! We're in minecraft and we're in hardcore and there's no visible way out. Tom and Jordan are still somewhere out there if anywhere," I reply. Then I hear toms voice.

"WHAT THE HECK??" He exclaims. "CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?"

"Tom! Come here!" I shout. I look at my block arms and notice a little coordinate counter on my arm. Sonja also has one. I give Tom our coordinates and he continues asking questions about what is going on and why. We are all scared. Tom finds us eventually and gives us both hugs and then Jordan's voice is heard.

"Oooowwwww... My head... What the- What? I... What?" He seems rather confused.

"Jordan! We're over in the-"

"Oooooowwwwww.." Jordan moans. I gather he must be injured or something. I turn to Sonja and Tom and tell them that I'm going to go find and help Jordan. They nod. They are still really scared.

"JORDAN? Where are you?" I shout. He must be somewhere around because I can hear him. I follow the sound of his voice, and find him sitting against a villagers house. He slowly looks up at me. I hold my hand out to him and he takes it.
"We're in minecraft. Don't even ask any questions because I don't know." He nods in return then I take him to where Sonja and Tom are. We decide to sit by the well and discuss.

"First of all," Sonja begins. "What. The. Heck."

"I know just as much as you do. Which is pretty much nothing," I say in return then look around. I'm really starting to question the existence of everything. We have a coordinate thing on our arms and a mobile device thing which I assume works as the chat. There is no health or hunger bar as we know when we're hungry or hurt."You better Jordan?"

"Uhh, yeah," he says nodding. "I just got a bit dizzy."

"I'm just curious why we don't have fingers," Tom interrupts, looking down at his blocky hands. To be honest I myself don't know how we're gonna manage without them. But blocky arms seem just fine.
After a further ten minutes of discussing and debating, we come to a conclusion. We're going to have to stay together and stay safe, and just go along with the game. Play it until... Until we come to another conclusion. Right now we're getting hungry, and it'll start getting dark soon, so we shouldn't waste anymore time, and go punch some wood.
