An Experiment To Save Humanity

Chapter 6: Figuring Things Out

Hey guys!! Bubbles here! it even been a week since the last one! I'm quiet proud of myself.

Anyway, I want your guys' opinion on something. Should I put shipping in this? I know it's my decision in the end, but I want to know what you guys think.

Enjoy!!!
BYE!!!! ^.^

Kurt's POV

"So.... how'd you get the wolf?" Zisteau asks, glancing sideways at me.

At the mention of said wolf, he let out a bark.

I chuckle quietly "I'm not sure, really. he just kinda wondered up to me and followed me." I shrug

"Huh. whatcha gonna name him?"

"Hmmm..... maybe Wolfie"

Zisteau laughs "very original"

I feel my checks heat up "fine, Wolfie Mc Wolfington."

Zisteau continues to laugh.

"Anyway... there is the spot I was talking about" I say, pointing off in the distance

"Ohh... I can see why you'd pick it." Zisteau says, an inquisitive look in his eyes.

"Yeah... I feel this would be a good spot for.... whatever Guude decides."

"Yeah..." Zisteau murmurs "maybe a town hall style building there and a fountain and incorporate the river and build a bridge and have shops surrounding it."

Zisteau continues to mumble to himself, going on and on about different things to build.

I look at my wrist watch/communicator. maybe I could message Guude.... see if he wants us to construct a temporary house, or something.

I manage to find the message feature and find Guude's name.

(K-Kurt/ G-Guude)

K: do you want me and Zisteau to start on the temporary house.

G: yes. I'll try to get the group over to that area. you said it was over the hill to the west, right?

K: yes

I glance up and see Zisteau still looking over the land.

"ZIsteau....." I say hesitantly "Guude wants us to build a temporary house for the night."

Zisteau looks at me for a second "right..... lets get to work then."

I follow Zisteau down the small hill and over to a flat area.

"So.... how does this work?" I ask

"I don't know. lets find out" Zisteau replies.

I look at Zisteau as he stands there, not doing anything.

I open my mouth to say something, but Zisteau suddenly moves again.

"I think I did something!"

Zisteau places down a strange looking wooden block.

"It's called a crafting bench."

I look at it intrigued. I touch it and a menu pops up. it is a three by three box. a small box of text also popped up, explaining how to use the crafting bench.

I carefully follow the instructions and end up making a wooden pickaxe.

I exit the menu and don't see Zisteau where he had been standing.

"Umm... Zisteau?"

Zisteau pops up from a hole in the ground "right here! just got some cobblestone."

I stare at him blankly

"I think I can make a better pickaxe out of this. Plus, I think we could use it to build"

"Right...."

Zisteau walks up to the crafting bench again. after a minute he looks to me

"Here, I made us both stone pickaxes and swords"

"Thanks" I reply, taking the items.

After a few hours and a lot of indecisiveness from Zisteau, we managed to build a relatively big building and thirty beds. Zisteau even added paintings.

"Wow... I hadn't expected something this.... nice, to be honest." Guude says walking up to us, the others lingering on top of the hill.

"Yeah... It was all Zisteau, really" I say

"Hey, don't discredit yourself Kurt, you actually helped a lot too." Zisteau interjects, sending me a warm smile

I can feel myself blush again. "right."

"Anyway, have you guys figured anything out about this whole crafting thing yet?" Guude asks

Zisteau goes on to explain everything we had found out. Everyone starts to wonder into the house as the sun starts to dip below the horizon.

After the sun fully sets, and everyone is fast asleep, I head up to the roof and lay down on the cold cobblestone, looking at the odd night sky.

It was very different from the one back home, but very alike at the same time. I could find multiple constellations right away. though there was the lack of the other planets.

I'm pulled from my thoughts when I hear footsteps. I glance over at the shadowy figure as they emerge from the ladder.

"Hi" The person says

"Hi" I reply quietly, recognizing the voice.

"Whatcha doing up?"

"Couldn't sleep..."

"Same"

The person, Zisteau, lays down beside me. "oh, wow, the sky is so beautiful."

"Yeah, it is."

Zisteau turns his head to look at me, an expression I couldn't tell in his eyes. "you know, the sky's not the only Beautiful thing I've seen today."

I feel myself blush heavily. "r-really?"

"Yeah, really"
