MCYT RANDOMNESS 2

The Helsmit meetup

Elex paced.

It was the day he, Xisuma and Hels had been planning for 2 months – the Helsmit/Hermit meet up. Everything had been set up: stalls, food stands, quiet areas, 5 different safe rooms, and open portals back to Hermitcraft or Helsmitcraft. Every single trigger or worry had been considered, every Hermit and Helsmit briefed on what to avoid, any safe words that might be used, everything was as perfect as it could be.

And yet, Elex was still nervous.

The Helsmits had arrived first. Chthul was swimming the length of the lake, conversing with the many-eyed Okurali and dark slime Viscous. Slay and 5 were practicing sword fighting. Glare, Usra and Mercury sat in the quiet tent. Tinker, Mumbot and Creeprae kept close eye on the nervous NPG and Grum.

A sound from the Hermit portal. Attention shifted as Etho appeared, looked around good-naturedly, and waved.

‘Hello!’

‘Hey!’ replied the uncannily similar, and yet notably different, ohtE. Etho chuckled as he watched his Helsmit approach.

‘I’m Etho, who are you?’

‘I’m ohtE. How are you?’

‘Why, I’m doing very well, very well indeed…’

As the two chatted, the next few hermits - Wels, Hypno, Jevin, Joe, xB appeared. And immediately drew attention.

‘Well, well, well, look who decided to show up at last…’ Hels strode towards Wels, expression cold.

‘Good morning, Hels.’ Wels, against his better instinct, held out his hand to shake. Hels slapped it.

‘Don’t think that because smellex let you in here, we’re not sworn enemies, and I could easily best you in a fight if it came to it. Bitch.’

‘Howdy y’all! Anomaly here! Glitching about as I always do!’ The glitch burst into view behind, crackling with lag and flickering colours, before glitching into a form mostly resembling Joe Hills.

‘Anomaly! How has or hasn’t existence and sentience been for you lately?’ Joe ran over.

'I recently discovered the ability to take liquid form… still working on becoming 2 dimensional, but viewing abstract art helps!'

‘Dude, you’re the crazy guy that can become anything! I remember!’ Jevin joined in the conversation by saying, right as Badtimes sauntered over to where  where Cub and Scar had just arrived.

‘MrFuckwitNerdTimesWithScar with the ugly ass face we have a NO NERD POLICY, BITCH!’

‘We have the same face.’

‘FUCK YOU I WEAR IT BETTER!’

‘Cub.’

Attention turned to Vex, his grey beard tangled around a fanged vexish grin and blue streaking across his face. Cub stepped further behind Scar.

‘Vex.’

‘Oh, yeah, whatever, Cub meet Vex, Vex meet Cub, blah, blah, blah, don’t touch my best friend or I fucking murder you… ANYWAY, we need to go and assert dominance over boring ass Mercury, whose name is so stupid even I can’t find a good fucking nickname for him. Come on!’ He walked away, unaware of Scar refusing to follow, into the quiet tent.

‘So… let me get this straight…’ Gem asked, unable to hide her excitement at the sight of Slay, her deer-centaur Helsmit. ‘You’ve beaten everyone here in a fight except ohtE?’

‘Yeah… ohtE is just… really good at PvP… anyway, wanna fight me?’

‘Evwn beay me,' 5 said, petting Tilly. ‘She’s a killer.’
