The Skywars lobby loaded. Four headsets crackled to life, having just completed another round.

Andi had made one rule. One very simple rule: if you die, you mute your mic.

So far, no one had followed it.

The voice chat was already a mess before the second round had even began. Andi — known in-game as NOshrimpPLZ, in honour of her very real and very life-threatening allergy — was trying, once again, to hold the team together.

That team, of course, being Lando (Z4kBr0wnSux), Charles (IlPredestinato16) and George (xGR_PvP_Lordx).

NOshrimpPLZ
Right. If I see that one of you has fallen off the map one more time, I swear to god.

Z4kBr0wnSux
That was a warm up.

NOshrimpPLZ
Warm up? Warm up?! We're getting humiliated out there! Have a serious look at yourself, mate. Seriously. This is not on. Not on at all.

Z4kBr0wnSux
It was lag.

NOshrimpPLZ
It was lack of skill.

Z4kBr0wnSux
I have more skill than you.

NOshrimpPLZ
Right. How the fuck have you come to that conclusion, then? The way I look at what's just happened there is, you're dead. George is dead. Charles is dead. The only person who isn't dead?

Z4kBr0wnSux
...you...

NOshrimpPLZ
ME! ME, YOU ACTUAL DONKEY! Because I'm the only one on this god damn team who seems to be paying any attention at all! What is this? WHAT is this?!

IlPredestinato16
Just to jump in here real quick, I'd like to point out that I was right behind you, Andi, but George threw a splash potion of slowness at me so I was compromised. Don't know why he'd do that to his own teammate, but here we are.

xGR_PVP_Lordx
YOU WALKED INTO IT—

NOshrimpPLZ
When I say back me up, you BACK ME UP! When I ask you, Lando, to cover the bed with END STONE, you cover the bed with End Stone. Not. Clay. You hear me? NOT CLAY!

Z4kBr0wnSux
Are you done?

NOshrimpPLZ
... I'm done.

Z4kBr0wnSux
Can I speak?

IlPredestinato16
Lando mate, leave it

NOshrimpPLZ
You can speak.

Z4kBr0wnSux
Right. Now, correct me if I am wrong. But I don't remember anyone appointing you as 'Supreme Commander Andi.' And, normally, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Actually, you've proven to be a valuable asset in the past. However, this time, you are shit leader. A SHIT leader! You sprint into mid like it's the fucking Olympics, no comms, no nothing! I am not psychic, mate. I'm not a fucking mind reader! Not while I'm getting egg-spammed off a bridge by a ten-year-old from Idaho. Charles is just a boot-licker. George doesn't even know how to crouch!
