@BlockyBuildxr Ah-

blink blink. Staring.

"Steve. . ."

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

She doesn't seem to mind the contact... Her skin is practically ice-cold, though.

Never looking away from the sky, she simply watches the stars glitter and shift, breathing slowly to keep the noise from her body's movement down.

She's really gonna have to do some maintenance.

` you don ‘ t see stars like that in the city anymore .

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

This is. . . Nice. Much nicer than waking up alone.

Each movement the ore makes is accompanied by a low groaning noise, her joints all creaking in response to finally moving after so long. But she mimics their position eventually, keeping her eyes tilted up to the stars.

and with permission .. walking up to the others , taking a seat aside her .
Arms wrapped around their own knees , beaming yet again a cheery smile at her .

Company provided ✨

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

She wouldn't mind at all.

Their company would be very appreciated, even if she can't communicate that appreciation out loud.

[A letter to remember @TheBiggestDubs]

⠀
⠀
… something they ‘ d be glad to know .

She doesn ‘ t need too , she acknowledged their existence and that is speaking volumes .

Would she mind .. if they took a seat besides her ?

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

It's a distant, foggy memory. But one that does exist. And more importantly, a pleasant one.

Of course, that means she hardly knows what to say. . . Frankly, she's not sure whether her own voice works at the moment.

[A letter to remember @TheBiggestDubs]

⠀
⠀
.. does she really remember then ?
They are .. no more who they used to be .

Eyes avert for just a moment — a soft exhale to echo through ,
Before their usual , beloved smile shines through .
Waving back at the other .

A gentle greeting .

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

Ah. . . And that's a face she didn't expect to be the first she sees after so long.

A tarnished, weathered hand raises in a slow wave. . .

[A letter to remember @TheBiggestDubs]

⠀
⠀
Now that ‘ s .. face they haven ‘ t seen since ever .

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

Sitting alone in the grass, staring up at the stars.

How long has it been?

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

Alright, alright~ So impatient!

You'll get everything you want soon enough, mkay? You know where the bedroom is~

[ᴠɪɴᴅɪᴄᴀᴛᴏʀ @Vxndication]

Oh pleeeeaaaase. You and I both know I just need to fuck you outta my systems!

Speaking of, there's an extra six stacks of your tacky marble. Get your ass moving now.

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

“ I mean, sorta. More accurate way to put is that we ARE the blocks. Personifications of them, I guess. We're also made out of 'em. ”

Ohh, impressive! She didn't know humans were so resilient.

[𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦 @UndyingCrafter]

⠀⠀ 

⠀⠀  Taking the nudge like a champ, he was certainly very durable. Whe he heard her finish, he would speak. ⠀⠀ 

⠀⠀  " So I assume both you and your pal there are named after blocks right? " ⠀⠀ 

⠀⠀

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

Awwwh, and here I thought you liked me, Vinnie!

Booooo, leading a girl on like that, you're terrible~

[ᴠɪɴᴅɪᴄᴀᴛᴏʀ @Vxndication]

If you HAD I would've made you suck me right that SECOND.

Good!! I hope you two get along better than I do with you!!

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

Hey, they weren't THAT ridiculous. It's not like I had you going out to find gilded blackstone.

And good! The more the merrier!

[ᴠɪɴᴅɪᴄᴀᴛᴏʀ @Vxndication]

Frankly I had no clue you just keep sending me for increasingly ridiculous fetch quests.

I know where she is, I always know where she is, it's hunters instinct. I'll grab her once I'm done hitting it.

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

Yellow came from me! I'm yellow.

Either way, did you think I wasn't gonna give you an extra key for Ace? The only reason I haven't already dragged her back here is that I don't actually know where she is.

[ᴠɪɴᴅɪᴄᴀᴛᴏʀ @Vxndication]

Where the fuck did yellow come from.

Not important actually! Moving on! I'm finishing this stack. Then I'm pounding you stupid. Then I'm taking a spare key for Ace as payment for fixing this shit hole up.

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

Not entirely! You mix red and yellow to get orange!

Greedy, greedy mob. You're more than welcome to try~ ❤️

[ᴠɪɴᴅɪᴄᴀᴛᴏʀ @Vxndication]

They're different colors entirely idiot!

And fine. I'm coming back and I'm gonna take your ass as I please. And then after that I'm taking my REAL payment.

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

Orange and red are close!

And there's a difference between me paying you and you taking your payment. Phrasing is important, Vinnie~

[ᴠɪɴᴅɪᴄᴀᴛᴏʀ @Vxndication]

I happen to like the color orange a lot.

...

Hey, I know the price I'm charging for all this bullshit mining you're putting me through for this.

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

Really? I thought you of all people would appreciate a little bit of red!

And you wish you could "take" me—

[ᴠɪɴᴅɪᴄᴀᴛᴏʀ @Vxndication]

Your aesthetic is not great, but who am I to judge really.

I'll be back within the hour with another two stacks and when I do. Your ass is mine for the taking.

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

“ Pfft— You're gonna be fun to mess with, I can tell! ”

Leaning in and giving him a friendly nudge on the shoulder... Though with how strong she is, it may end up knocking him a little off-balance.

“ I guess it is a real pretty material. Don't let him know I said that though. ”

[𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦 @UndyingCrafter]

⠀⠀ 

⠀⠀  The comment would catch the builder off guard, as he wasn't expecting it. Slowly gathering himself together again, he would answer her. ⠀⠀ 

⠀⠀  " Well I like to use quartz to decorate my base. I turn it into blocks to decorate. " ⠀⠀ 

⠀⠀

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

You're so easy, Vinnie~

But yes, you are, don't worry. Your pervy ass will be well cared for.

And don't call it shitty! The red is kinda nice, y'know?

[ᴠɪɴᴅɪᴄᴀᴛᴏʀ @Vxndication]

. . .

When I come back I'm getting far more reward in return for this, riiiiiight?

Say no at your own risk I have three shitty stacks of this stuff so far.

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

'Cuz I'm pretty, and I need marble for my basement!

C'mon, mining's not so bad. Helps you get all your energy out, y'know?

[ᴠɪɴᴅɪᴄᴀᴛᴏʀ @Vxndication]

This wasn't in the original agreement, why the fuck am I digging down here for Gold anyway.

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

"Gold and quartz, huh? I get why you'd want some of me, I mean, look how pretty I am~"

The blonde woman flips her hair over her shoulder now, smirking at the overconfident comment.

"What do you need with quartz, though? I mean, you can't make tools or armour with it, can ya?"

[𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦 @UndyingCrafter]

⠀⠀ 

⠀⠀  " Well I'm here to grab some gold and quartz. I actually built a small base not too fare from here. " ⠀⠀ 

⠀⠀

[𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓞𝓯 𝓝𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 @SoftestIngots]

“ Steve, huh? Nice to meetcha. So what's a human like you doing in the Nether? It's a pretty dangerous place for you guys, isn't it? ”

Finally, she seems satisfied with the dust she's patted away, and starts to tame the wild mess of hair on top of her head.

[𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦 @UndyingCrafter]

⠀⠀ 

⠀⠀  " Sorry about that, guess I'm just used to everything and everyone trying to kill me still. " ⠀⠀ 

⠀⠀  Putting down his shield and sword, he would then smile. ⠀⠀ 

⠀⠀  " Welm nice to meet ya Gold. My name's Steve. " ⠀⠀
