Chapter 13: A Visiting Admin (Part 1)

The admin's first stop was at False's pseudo-cyberpunk city. It wasn't too far from the shopping district, and the dark concrete tower came into view soon enough. 

He flew around the structure for a few moments, looking to see if he could spot False working somewhere a long the edges or down in the bedrock pit. Instead he spotted the hermit down by her small starter shack, leaving with a shulker in her arms. 

He glided down towards her, and she glanced up at the sounds - giving him a slight wave. 

The male landed next to her, "Hey, False, how are you?" 

She gave him a half-smile before walking back towards her base, "I'm fine. Thanks." 

Xisuma blinked, "What are you doing?" 

False pulled out a rocket, flying up into the area of the base she had recently constructed. It had caught Xisuma off guard for a moment, but he quickly followed her. 

As he entered the area, he took in the new décor. There was an aquarium on one side, and the concrete walls had been sealed and finished. There was a large pile of chests over by the side wall, and both hermits made their way over to it. 

False dropped down the shulker she was holding, and began to unload several others from her inventory. 

"Moving," she finally answered Xisuma's question. 

The admin blinked, tilting his head slightly as False began to pull items from the shulkers and look at them - before deciding where to shove them in her chests. 

"Do you need any help?" 

"Nope. I got it, thanks." She slammed one of the chests closed, sorting back through her variety of shulkers. 

Xisuma watched for a moment longer. "Has... Stress been by? Are you eating alright." 

"Yep, got plenty of food."

There was a pause before False walked by him, "X'cuse me," she said, and he stepped back as she opened the shulker next to him, before placing a few more between himself and her. She pulled out another item before walking back over to her chests. 

"Are you sure you're alright?" Xisuma prodded again, looking over the wall of freshly placed shulkers boxes. 

False let out a sigh and let another chest close with a slam. "I'm good, X, seriously. Don't you have something to do?" 

Xisuma frowned, crossing his arms and leaning to one side. "I've been working. I'm taking a break to see how everyone is handling."

False nodded, making a noise of confirmation, "Well, I'm fine, you can go check on the others." 

X hummed, "Well, I think coming here was a good first choice. You look exhausted, False, when was the last time you've slept?" 

The other hermit sighed, crossing her arms and leaning to one side. "I'm fine, X. Seriously. I'm busy, can you go check on someone else." 

"Have you eaten?"

She sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose. "I've got food."

 "But have you eaten?" 

False was silent for a moment, re-crossing her arms and rolling her eyes, "No. Not today." 

The admin frowned, he plopped one his shulkers down and pulled out some steak. "Golden carrots get a bit boring," he added, stepping over one of the shulkers, "I need you to eat something." 

False frowned, "I swear you're just as bad as Stress." She took the steak before turning back to her chests. 

"False."
