>> Convince yet?

Taking a very deep breath, Rob knocked on the doors of Vikk towers before entering.

It was 12am, everyone's probably sleeping or busy with other things on other servers, but for Rob, he's going to get to talk to Vikk about stuff.

Opening the doors and climbing on ladders, Rob reached the top floor— the so called balcony.

"Vikk?" Rob called very softly.

There was no answer.

Only the breeze of the midnight winds responded to Rob.

Rob's eyes shifted to the tiny towers on each corner of the floor. He went in the one with no beacons, and the second one with no beacon as well. Rob checked the third one that has a beacon, a red beacon. Which, no luck. But then, the last beacon with iron blocks and blue beacon, Rob has a strong feeling, but unsure about this.

"Vikk?" Rob said again.

Rob peeked in, only seeing Vikk with his head down and knees close to his chest.

"Vikkstar, buddy?" Rob frowned at the sight of his well-bounded friend all sad and depressed.

"Go away Rob." Vikk's voice was so sore, it seems like he hasn't talked for so long.

Rob's tears was about to leave his eyes, he was hurt being told to go away from one of his closest friends. "Lachlan's been looking for you all day." Rob whispered as he kept distance from Vikk, he knows that Vikk needs his space. That sentence made Vikk's head slowly look onto the bright beacon. It hurt Vikk's eyes as he closed them again. "Why would he?" Vikk spat, slowly opening his eyes again as he fought with how bright the beacon was.

"I'm not gonna eat, sleep, or be productive for the rest of my life. I'm not leaving this tower, Rob." Vikk said out of nowhere, standing up from his position. Vikk almost lost his balance if it wasn't for Rob who cached him just in time. "Careful, Vikk." Rob pointed out as he straighten Vikk's stand up and patted him on the back. "I'm here for ya'," Rob smiled, resting his arms on Vikk's shoulders.

"Ali, Preston, and Mat told me that Lachlan went to their house looking for you." Rob said, letting out a small smile, looking right at Vikk. "I..." Vikk was speechless, he doesn't know what to say or even respond to Rob's sentence.

Rob looked at Vikk, head to toe. Vikk looked like a mess.
Rob didn't liked that.
What Rob wants is neatness. Vikk doesn't have that at the moment.

"You need to clean up, Vikk, I mean seriously— look at yourself." Rob said as he crossed his arms, dragging Vikk to the floor below and making Vikk look at his own reflection on the infinite water source on where he gets his water for his water bottles.

He looked at himself for a mere twenty seconds. Rob was right, he does look like a mess. His hair was messed up and there are bags under his dark brown orbs.

As his face get palmed by his hands, he fixed himself up to at least when he looked decent enough to go outside again, which he is still thinking about doing.

"Isn't that much better?" Rob asked, shuffling Vikk's hair. "Oops."

Vikk smiled for the first time in a while and playfully punched Rob on the shoulders. "I kid, I kid!" Rob managed to say as Vikk tickled him.

"Now, what are you gonna do now...?" Rob brought up, sitting down on where Vikk was camping on the whole time.

Vikk shrugged at the question, he doesn't have any plans— not yet at least.

"I'll think about it and I'll drop by your place at this time tomorrow." Vikk said, as he looked away from Rob for a second.

"I'm sorry about earlier." Rob frowned, wearing his hood on his head, shivering at the cold-cold winds of the HTM world. They are very high up, it sure would be cold in Vikk's place.

What Rob just said caught Vikk's attention. "Why are you saying sorry?"

Rob thought about it, wondering why Vikk didn't even notice on what happened earlier morning. "N-Nothing."

Yawning, Rob stood up and reach his hand over to Vikk. "You sir, need to rest."
Vikk grabbed Rob's hand and pulled him up to stand. "Go get some sleep, Vikk. You need it."

Vikk went downstairs with Rob and waved a hand as Rob slowly swam throughout the lily pads over the docks. Pulling out a mine cart, Rob placed it on the tracks and waved a hand on to Vikk as well before leaving.

Vikk went in the house and slowly closed the doors. "I'll think about it, Rob."

9am came like a blink of an eye, Vikk was tired and woke up with sunlight in his eyes. Sitting from his bed with a groan, he splashed his face with water to wake up. Vikk rubbed his eyes awake as he get all of his things from the previous random chest he put his armour and tools with the other day. "Spade? Check. Sword? Check. Axe? Check. Pickaxe? Check. Whole set of armour? Check."

With all his things are all set up, he knew the moment he woke up earlier, he needs to go out. To get a ray of sunshine in his body to get all energised and things like that.

Vikk dashed through the ladders and went through his enchantment table and his cow farm breeder machine, through his strip mine and finally; to his stable. From now on, that is where he is going to go in and out since he doesn't want Lachlan to see him. Lachlan would be suspicious either way.

Vikk knew he needed to meet up with Mat yesterday, but due to his condition about over thinking in one of his little towers on the top of his house, he didn't get to help the robot.

The sound of metal clanging from a near distance made Vikk listen to it more and more carefully. Obviously, it was Mat. "Mat?"

Mat was downstairs, lucky for Vikk. They can sort out the things they need to do. "Vikk!" Mat cheered, handing Vikk some andesite and Redstone and other blocks that they need to use for the build on the very top of the casino..

"Glad you can make it today, bro!"

Vikk chuckled nervously as he just mumbled loudly enough for Mat to hear, "Glad I could."

"I told Lachlan that if he was able to find you or see you yesterday, to tell you to meet me here to help. But you didn't showed up yesterday." Mat frowned, stopping on whatever he was doing to talk to Vikk. He already did much work since yesterday.

Vikk felt guilty on the inside. "I-I'm sorry Mat." Vikk stuttered, "I'll make it up to you." Vikk let out a small smile, placing his hand on Mat's shoulder. "You can do other stuff right now, I'll do this on my own today."

Mat tried to say something but Vikk cut him off. "It's okay, I know you're busy with something else."

Mat was about to fight for it but he knows that Vikk will win. "I guess, bye then." Mat just shrugged it off. "See ya' soon, Vikk!"

* * *

After a long while, Vikk finished about more than half of what Mat had done to make the casino even. And Vikk may say that Mat and him done a very nice job so far.

"That'll do it for the day." Vikk sighed with exhaustion. Glad he's done, it's almost sun down.

Three minutes of walking from Mat's house to his house, his eyes caught someone in the distance. It was Lachlan. He knew that he needs to talk to the Aussie at some point. Vikk walked towards Lachlan, and it seems like the Aussie was busy.

Lachlan turned around since he was hearing footsteps drawing closer behind him.
"Vikk?" he questioned, his tone was surprised with a slight of cheery.
"Hey Lachlan." Vikk said as he looked at what was Lachlan doing.
Lachlan looked to where Vikk was looking, at his build.

"So, what's this for?" Vikk asked, making a subject to talk about. Lachlan looked from left to right, then talked. "It's an assassination booth." Lachlan winked as he continued on writing the signs that he put up.

Vikk looked at the item frame just above the door, it was an invisibility potion.
Obviously enough, Lachlan probably would drink an invisibility potion and then assassinate whoever is up for assassination. Simple as that.

"So, how does this work?"

Lachlan looked at Vikk, then at the signs that he was currently working on.

"Well," Lachlan started. "First, they are going to write who they want me to assassinate, then write the said date of the assassination. At first, they'll pay me two diamonds, and if I am indeed successful of the assassination, they'll pay me three, which is in total of five diamonds. If I fail, I'll give 'em a refund."

Vikk nodded on Lachlan's explanation. "Seems brutal." Vikk commented, chuckling.

Lachlan just shrugged it off as he continued on working.

Vikk seems like he was disturbing the Aussie, so he just slowly walked away as he leaves Lachlan to build by himself.

And us that, Vikk just went home and did something productive for a while.
