*Sabre's POV*

My head hurt like a ton of bricks as my mind slowly returned to a functional level. I'm laying on my side staring at what appears to a swirling purple portal with a redstone frame. The room around me has stone brick walls and I'm lying on a red brick floor. There is a door leading to another room and a random pressure plate next to one of the other walls.

Well, I don't seem to be dead so that's a good start. Bad news is that I have absolutely no idea where I am. I decide I might as well go through the portal as it might bring me back to my college or I'll simply still be lost, so I take a step towards it and...

CRASH!

The portal shattered into a million pieces as if it was an expensive window. Well, there goes Plan A. I guess it's onto Plan B, explore the place. I first decided to check behind the door which seemed to a bedroom. Interesting but not particularly useful. After that, I decided to step on the mysterious pressure plate, because it's not as if I have that much to loose.

Luckily, the pressure plate did not set off any explosives and simply opened a hole in the wall. This lead to what appeared to be some sort of living room. In one corner there is a comfy looking red sofa and a small table made out of some type of red wood. There is also some shelving made out of the same red wood as the table and a couple of red books on them. Actually, now that I think about it, most of the room seems to have a red theme going on.

Anyways, there were also two doors, that were also a red colour. I opened the one closest to me to reveal a room full of redstone. Wow. Whoever lives here really likes redstone. I look around the room and find no exit so I just close the door and go to the other door. I open it and...

Oh! There's a person! Well, I think their a person. They are wearing a red sweater with red trousers and have short red hair. Wait, is their skin red? Actually, now I look at the stranger better they seem to look like that weird blue spirit guy from earlier...

It was at this wonderful moment that the person turned around and saw me. We made eye contact for a few minutes. And then I just slammed the door. Well, what else did you want me to do? Run past them? Actually, that might of been a better idea...

*Red Steve's POV*

There is a creature in my house. It seems to be at least somewhat intelligent which is strange as there aren't that many intelligent beings in this galaxy that aren't Steves. Unless... What if it came from the portal? Well, I should worry about that later, for now I should make sure it isn't a threat...

I slowly open the door, keeping one hand on my lightsaber just in case. The creature moved to the other side of the room as I entered. It had quite the strange appearance: brown hair, a blindfold over its eyes and a hoodie that looks reminiscent of a CH1CK3N droid. However, I can't see any weapons so I decide to see if it can talk...

"Who are you?"

The creature seemed to react to my words which is a good start but it seemed to hesitate before answering.

"I-I'm Sabre. I'm just a college boy, okay. I would highly prefer it if you didn't kill me, please."

Well, I'm not sure what he meant by college boy but at least I know he's intelligent, and I can stop calling him an it.

"Well, hello Sabre, you can call me Red. Do you mind explaining what your doing in my house?"

"Look, I just followed some whispers into a tomb, where I think I might of angered a strange blue spirit that looked a bit like you, but well blue. I swear I have no idea how I got into your house from there, I just woke up in front of a weird portal looking thing, that might be slightly broken now..."
