POV: Robo

I sat on my bed, staring at the door. Carrot had literally just left to go back to her house, so I was pretty stumped on what to do. All of a sudden I felt a ding in my pocket, so I pulled out my communicator. 

<System> Evil_Xisuma tried to swim in lava.

<Evil_Xisuma> I'm never going to the nether again.

When I saw that I quickly typed up a question.

<RobotGrian> why?

<Evil_Xisuma> Transphobia 

<MidnightCarrot4>  W H O M S T   H A S   S U M M O N E D   T H E   A N C I E N T   O N E

<RobotGrian> what the-

<MidnightCarrot4> I   H A V E   C O M E   T O   B U S T   K N E E C A P S

<Evil_Xisuma> this is the only time I agree with that. 

<MidnightCarrot4> W H O   S H A L L   I   B U S T   T H E   K N E E C A P S   O F ?

<Evil_Xisuma> it's a voice in my head that only appears in the nether. Please don't think I'm weird

<RobotGrian> it's always the voices! The stupid dumb voices ruin EVERYTHING!

<MidnightCarrot4> m u r d e r 

I turned my communicator off, putting it in my pocket. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" My head shot up at the sudden screaming, and I stood up. It kept going, so I rushed outside to see what was going on. I walked out and noticed a person laying on the ground underneath the spawn tree, their long hair messed up. They had blue hair in various shades, white wolf ears, a white wolf tail, and a big beige dress. 

"Who are you?" I asked under the screaming. "I DON'T KNOW!" The person yelled, then continued screaming. "..m-mood." I whispered blankly, hoping that my mechanics wouldn't break. I sighed, pulling out my communicator. 

<RobotGrian> so there's someone laying face down on the ground at spawn. 

<RobotGrian> they're screaming 

<MidnightCarrot4> Oh carp I'm coming 

I turned off my communicator, sliding it into my pocket. "Ca-an you p-please stop?" I quietly asked. "NO." The person said, then continued to scream. "You're lu-ungs m-might bu-urst." I told them. At that they paused, bringing in a big breath, and then continued screaming. I looked at them with a disappointed face. 

"VERONICA WHAT IN THE NAME OF MCC-" I saw Carrot run in, and I knew she had seen this person before. The person stopped screaming and looked up, their bright cyan eyes filled with spite. Then their expression changed to pure joy. "Carrot! I haven't seen you in years!" They exclaimed, getting up excitedly. "I missed you too!" Carrot said, holding out her arms. The person hugged Carrot for a short moment, then pushed away. 

"Anyway, this is my cousin, Veronica. Vern for short." Carrot said, gesturing to Vern. "W-what are your pro-onouns?" I asked. "She/Her!" Vern said quickly. "Uhm, do you still have your communicator?" Carrot asked. At that Vern fumbled in her inventory until she got it out. "Yep!" She responded cheerfully. At that moment I felt a ding in my pocket, and heard one from Vern's communicator and from Carrot's. We all took it out to see what was going on. 

<Evil_Xisuma> who's screaming?

<VernBFF> ME

<Evil_Xisuma> ... who are you?

<VernBFF> IM ME

<MidnightCarrot4> She's my cousin from my old server 

<Evil_Xisuma> ohhhhhhh

I turned of my communicator and slid it in my pocket for the third time in like 30 minutes. "Oh Robo, you should probably introduce yourself!" Carrot said to me. "O-oh ye-eah. I'm Robo, he/hi-im pro-nou-ouns." I explained. Vern nodded. "You should probably meet Evander- follow me!" Carrot said, taking Vern by the hand. "Can I j-ust st-a-ay here?" I asked. Carrot nodded, so I turned and walked back to my little home.

POV: Evander

I sat in my little home, staring at my communicator. It was hard to believe someone just randomly appeared, even it that's how I came. "HELLO!" I jumped at the sudden noise, and I looked up to see someone (Probably Vern) busting down my door. Carrot was behind them, a big grin on her face.

"IM VERN, I USE SHE/HER, YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF!" They screamed. "IM EVANDER, THEY/THEM, AND I HATE THE NETHER." I blurted out, matching the loud tone of Vern. I heard Carrot laugh as she squished around Vern to get into in the house. "Calm down guys, don't scream too loud. I prefer listening to demonic screeches when I'm alone, thank you very much." Carrot joked. 

"You still listen to that?" Vern asked. "Without mods I can't, but I wish I could." Carrot responded. I just sat there, super confused. "ANYWAY IM GONNA GO STEAL A HOUSE!" Vern said, turning around and running away. "Don't steal mine!" I Carrot called. Carrot turned to me, her poster turning less tense. She gave a thumbs up. "Enbies are valid, and so are you." She said, then she quickly left, running after Vern. I paused, smiling. 

I took in a breath, and hugged myself. I'd need time to heal from... that, but I knew I'd be okay.

POV: Robo 

I was sat on my bed again, humming to myself. It sounded like a heart beat monitor on a flatline, which really bugged me, but I tried to ignore it. It had been a bit since Vern joined, and by a bit I meant like half an hour. I tapped my finger on my bed, remembering the first day I joined this world. Or night, per-say. 

I just really liked music, but it was such a bummer that I couldn't sing. I couldn't even hum! As I was lost in my thoughts- "I HAVE COME TO STEAL YOUR HOUSE!" I looked up to see Vern holding a bed she probably got from the abandoned village. She then immediately placed it down right next to the wall. "You wh-at?" I asked. 

"I'm moving in here, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!" Vern announced. I stayed quiet,  looking at her. "You can sta-ay, but pl-lease ask ne-ext time?" I stuttered out. "Okay!" Vern responded sarcastically. She jumped onto the bed she placed, smiling. 

All I could think about at that moment was Poult and NPG. 

I was glad robots couldn't cry.
