The string theory (Drabble/Grian&Doc)

Docm new video gave me a funny idea, I swear I'll post an actual oneshot soon... probably.

________________________________________

Doc was once again in need of scaffolding for various... projects and anvil dropping. He was yet to fix his spider farm and Etho was afk. So? He went to the nearest hermit in search of free string. He checked the list of hermits and saw that Grian was still online but according to chat, was trying to...summon Mumbo. Okay then. 

He landed right in front of Grian's chest monster and began rifling through chests and barrels. 

"Doc? Why are you going through my stuff?"

Shit.

'Hah Hah caught in 4k'

Yeah yeah shut up guys.

While the hivemind was busy laughing at him about getting caught within five minutes he spun on his heels and kept his eyes on the shorter. "Grian, I was just borrowing some string. Do you happen to know where I could get some?" He grinned, knowing Grian can't rebut his own mentality. "I only have two string actually, and you have to give it right back." Grian smiled back a small glint in his eyes. If only he knew what was about to happen.

"Okay."

"What?"

"I'll give it back, I won't even leave the base."

Grian looked the cyborg up and down before grabbing g some string out of a nearby chest and handing it to Doc. "Don't leave the base.." He grinned at Grian before getting to work.

"Okay hivemind," he murmured "do your thing."

Before he knew it a hazy blue outline of some sort of contraption materialized in his robotic eyes  field of view. The creeper knew Grian couldn't see it, only he and the hivemind could. Doc built the contraption with relative ease, it was a small thing anyway. 

"Would you like to do the honors?" Doc asked, gesturing to a lever for Grian. "Yes please!" The shorter rushed over to the lever and pulled it down, turning on the machine. 

String started unraveling from seemingly nowhere, duplicating the small strands into an infinite rope. After a moment Doc spoke, "That's enough, you can turn it off now." Grian flicked the lever back up and the string cut itself and fell to the floor. 

Doc collected the two strands of string and gave it to Grian. "There you go." He said, trying not to burst out laughing at Grian's expression. He knelt down and picked up the pile of string, stuffing it into his shulker box. When the creeper went to take down the contraption Grian stopped him. "I need the string- don't take it down." 

"Alright, well, thank you for letting me borrow your string." Doc lit a rocket. "No problem!" 

'Thanks for the credit Doc.'  Someone with a thick mandarin accent muttered. 

"Hey, you all know they don't believe in you guys I've tried to explain it before."

'Really? When?'

"Season seven, right before I left."

'He wasn't here for season seven.' This one had a Spanish accent. 

"Tell him it's on that one old video he can watch it there, don't forget to check out our fanartists before you do though."

'Of course'
