mindcrackloveHello again! It's me, Tj! Yeah, I've been lurking and commenting on here for the past bit, and I haven't written any actual fic yet AT ALL. I think I posted one chapter of a FTB-inspired fic a while back (that will be revisited eventually, I hope), but that was it. Anyway, this was me sort of "derusting" the gears, and also working with voices. There is no real plot or conflict, but there's definite framework for one to come. When I started writing, I expected this to be a one-off, but as I go through it, more chapters are becoming more and more likely.
Also, *text* is my way of writing italics.
"Ouch! That hurt!"
"What would you expect, guy? You fell like thirty feet!"
"You think I was tryin' to fall?"
"Maybe."
Guude chuckled, laughing at a joke that Pakratt did not seem to find funny. They had been searching around for the others for a while now, and still no sign of them. Pakratt quickly got up and started drinking another Speed potion, clearly planning to sprint through the forest.
"Wait a second there, guy! Are you sure you're okay to run! I mean you *did* just take quite a fall."
"Yeah, I'll be fine," came the reply, "I still have that Regen on me from earlier.
"Okay, fine. But first, let's think. Where could our friends have gone?"
"I don't know," answered Pak, "but I plan to find MC and Nebris if it kills me."
Guude, seeing the clear determination in Pakratt's eyes, backed off. Soon after, they were running through the heavily wooded area in an effort to find the clearing they had heard about in MC's frantic message.
"I don't get it, it should be right.... Oh, here."
They ran into the open area, staying on guard for anything that could be dangerous or helpful. Finding a hatch on the ground, Pakratt went to open it up. Upon further inspection, it simply would not budge, despite both Pak and Guude's best efforts.
"Come on... OPEN!" yelled Guude as he fell backwards from the hatch.
"Hold on Guude, I have an idea." Pak said, a plan forming.
"You're not gonna use TNT, are you?"
"Oh, yes I am!"
"Great, another thing to make me nervous."
"What *doesn't* make you nervous, Guude?" Pak teased as he was wiring up the Redstone.
"Oh shut up!"
"I only say what is true." replied Pak, continuing to vex Guude.
"Fine, have it your way. Are we ready to blow?" asked the green-shirted searcher.
"Yes, now stand back."
Both stepping away from the rigged TNT, Pakratt hit his lever connected to it.
*hiss*...BOOM!
"There we go! Beautiful!" yelled a very happy Pak over the blast's echoes.
"Sometimes I'm afraid you get too much joy out of that."
"You'd probably be right!"
Guude sighed, stuck with this crazy man. Of all the people to be alone with...
"So, do we wanna look down there, or are we just goin' to sit here all day?"
"Whaddya think, wise guy?" came the annoyed response from Guude.
"Fine, I'll look first *if you insist*."
Pak walked over to the now blown-off hatch's hole and peeked down.
"Nothing but a long drop here"
"Well," began Guude, "we're at the clearing MC described *and* it's a suspicious hatch. There has to be *something* at the bottom of that drop!"
"Well do you want to go first?" Pak offered.
"Nah, I'm good. You can go. I mean you *did* just take a thirty-foot drop earlier."
"Well fine then, see you on the bottom. Just remember, gravity hurts!" yelled Pak right as he jumped into the gaping hole that was left when the hatch gave out.
"Gravity hurts..." Guude thought aloud.
