Dream SMP

Two days have passed. And now Silvia is 15. She woke up at 6 in the morning. The first thing she did was get dressed in a hoodie that was given to her by Karl for her 13th birthday. The hoodie still fits and what made it even better is that it matched Karl's. Silvia grabbed a bag and shoved a book and pen into it before leaving.

She hurriedly went to Dream and George's house and went around the back. She had discussed this with her best friend, Cally, and they decided to do this together.

"Silvia!" The black haired girl turned around to see her friend behind a tree.

"My father's a light sleeper," Cally whispered.

"Ah..."

"Let's go," Cally said.

"I'm coming with you!" Said a voice from behind.

Silvia turned around to see Aster behind her. Even Cally seemed shock. Apparently, Aster was still small enough to be well hidden behind his older sister even if he didn't mean to hide.

"Aster!" Silvia cried out. "What are you doing here?!"

"Shush!" Cally said, frantically. "If my mother knew what we were doing, he'd freak!!"

"Sorry, sorry," Silvia said. She turned back to her little brother. "Now, what are you doing here?"

"I wanna come with you," Aster said.

"You can't!" Silvia whispered.

"Fine! I'll tell Daddy and Mama Q then! And uncle Dream," Aster said, pouting and crossing his arms.

"Okay, okay! You can come!" Silvia gave in. Aster smiled at his sister's response.

"Now we need to get XD," Silvia said.

"That's easy," Cally said. "But first we need to get somewhere far from here."

"No problem," Silvia said.

The two headed to Prime Path.

"What are you going to do?" Silvia asked.

"Oh, it's simple," Cally said, smiling. "XD!" She screamed.

"What?" Asked a distorted voice from behind Silvia and Aster. The siblings jumped in shock.

"We want to time travel," Cally said.

"The three of you?" XD asked. "Silvia is the only one who can time travel."

"You're a god," Cally responded. "You can make an acception for me and Aster, right?"

"Fine," XD said, reluctantly. "But there is a possibility that you won't go back in time with Aster traveling with you."

"Why not?" Cally asked.

"We just found out Aster is a dimensional traveler," Silvia said.

"Well, still!" Cally cried out.

"Very well," XD said. The god turned to Silvia. "Do you have your watch?"

The ravenette pulled out a golden watch from her bag. She had found it hidden underneath her parents' bed. Karl had gotten it about a week before he went time traveling. The watch was meant to be a birthday present, but Silvia had taken it, knowing what it was.

Currently, the watch showed the time but when she time traveled, the clock would show how long she had before she came back.

The watch was the size of her hand and had a golden rim. The watch itself was white and covered with a crystal clear glass covering. There was a small rectangular box in the middle. The box had four smaller square boxes within it. This showed the year that Silvia was in. The hands were also made of gold and and came out from behind the box.

Silvia's ways of time traveling were different from Karl's. Unlike Karl, Silvia could change the present. Silvia had a limited amount of time but Karl, he would come back to the present day when he dies while time traveling.

"The watch will show you how much time you have left before you come back," XD said.

"Thanks captain obvious," Silvia scoffed.

"Do not disrespect a god," XD said.

"I see no god here," Silvia said. "Except me."

Cally and Aster were both snickering, on the verge of laughing as Silvia smirked.

XD was clearly pissed off. "Do you want to time travel or not?" He growled.

"Fine, fine," Silvia said. "Sorry," she said mockingly.

XD allowed that one to slide before asking them the final question. "How long ago do you want to travel to?"

Silvia thought about it. Then decided to go to the time around when Karl's memories first started fading.

"2022."

The trio were soon engulfed in darkness. Although it was still there, it felt as if the oxygen had gone. The trio were getting lightheaded. And when the darkness disappeared, they blacked out.

But before Silvia could, the last thing she saw was the year on her watch. 2036...They had clearly not traveled through time...But through dimensions instead...Then she heard a familiar voice from years ago...Specifically...10 years ago...

"Grian! Quick! Get X!"

Hermitcraft / Empires SMP

Mumbo ran around frantically looking for Grian. "G?! GRIAN?! SOMEONE GET X!!!"

He panted and ran up to Wels. "Have you seen Grian or Xisuma?"

Wels chuckled. "They went to look for Scar, Xavier, and Mitchell. They brought Ren and Impulse with them."

"Ah. Why didn't Grian tell me?"

"I don't know. Maybe because you're a spoon."

Tango walked up to the two, grinning. "Hey, X isn't here anymore. We can get high in chat."

"Oh dear," Mumbo said.

Wels also started to grin. "HELL YEAH!!"

<Welsknight> Hiiiii

<FalseSymmetry> Why hello fellow Homo Sapiens.

<Tango> I'm not human though.

<Docm77> Nor am I. Nor is Gem. Nor is Cleo. Nor is Jevin. I can probably name more.

<ZombieCleo> Hey who are these people?

None of the Hermits that were getting high in chat even noticed three new, unfamiliar names until Cleo pointed them out. Why though? The reason? They were too excited to get high in chat since the Hermitcraft admin wasn't there to watch them.

CallyDNF_ joined the game.

SilviaJacobs_ joined the game.

Aster_Stars joined the game.

<GeminiTay> Well, X left Wels in charge. Wels, I hate to break it to you, but this is your problem to solve.

<Welsknight> Uhm...I-

<MumboJumbo> Lol.

<Tango> Lets grow a tree in a waffle.

<ZombieCleo> Wels I'll help you.

Wels and Cleo walked to the spawn cottage and found three bodies.

"Should we...?"

"Yeah," Wels said.

Together, Wels and Cleo lifted the three people all onto 3 out of the 5 beds there.

I'll keep watch," Cleo said. "Make sure they're not dangerous. You remember the Watcher incident 10 years ago..."

"Cleo, we have two Watchers on the server. Grian and Xyla. Plus Grian is the leader of the Watchers, so do you really think they could be ba-"

"I'm not taking any chances that they might be evil."

Wels sighed. "You're right..."

<Welsknight> Situation taken care of. We can get high in chat again.

<Tango> THANK GOODNESS.

<Tango> ehfbcsqvabkehwjabcs

<MumboJumbo> Who likes kitchen utensils?

<ZombieCleo> Knives.

<MumboJumbo> Spoons.

<ZombieCleo> Knives.

<MumboJumbo> Spoons.

<Tango> Spoon vs Knife war.

<ZombieCleo> GOOD IDEA!!!

<MumboJumbo> Oh dear...Tango why?

Mumbo closed off his communicator and went to do some redstone.

"⍜リ⟒ ∴ᒷ⟒☍..." is a mix of Enderman language and Enchanting Table language. Anyways- CallyDNF_ cause- That's obvious...SilviaJacobs_ because she is a time traveler like Karl and she is Karl's child. And Aster_Stars because of the name definition (Pleb...I think they're all pretty obvious. I don't think you needed to explain. -Galactic)
- Pleb

Pleb, stop removing the periods. I like my periods. AND I MEAN PUNCUATION BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING (Okay, at the end of the messages that the players send, I can understand...BUT NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I EVER SEEN PERIODS AT THE END OF JOINING MESSAGES- -Pleb) Yeah well too bad.
