MCSM AU things that just are (aka explaining my AU for Asks and Dares)

#portals and their builders of ole – the rp of introducing Ira/asks and dares related to it is
When Romeo killed Fred it caused irreversible damage/effect to the Overworld. At first, no one saw anything change. Not even Romeo. But then, come years later, there are a few things very abnormal:
A Poppy that never seemed to wilt
Seeds within the jungle growing thicker shrubs
Far too many carcasses of animals that wolves have hunted the woods that should have resulted in extinction or effect the food chain in a major way
Bees of a certain coloney gnoring flowers and not pollinating them
The heart of endermen, but only the rare ones in the Overworld, being more and more visible as time goes on
Romeo notices these changes but can't do anything about the mobs behavior or that of the plants. For that was Fred's job/duty.
One day Romeo's champion (Not Jesse or Petra/Jack they don't exist yet) betrays him and he gets really mad.
During his fury, something happens within the Nether. The gold nuggets seem to reflect the lava's light as if it were its own glow. The Zombified Pigmin in that area were attracted to it
Axel, Jesse, Jess, Olivia, Lukas and Petra come to exist in the world. During their younger childhood, they all come across these abnormalities
Axel - Poppy
Jesse - the Seeds/ fruiting shrubs
Jess - the animals that never seem to die ou
tOlivia - the bees
Lukas - the overworld enderman
Petra - nether gold and pigmen("Oh but Nyx why is Petra in the Nether as a child?? The nether isnt safe for a child" /lh She was accompanied by her older sibling... probably)
Idk what the word for it would be but something happens like transformation ig
Axel picks the flower for his mother and over a short time becomes more resistant to hits and much stronger/able to throw thing much further
Jesse eats the fruit, knowing the type of bush to not create toxic berries; and gains feathered wings and becomes insanely good at mimicking the sounds of mobs/others
Jess gets stung by a bee and (in a Spiderman way lol) gains the ability to float but looses the appetite for most foods
Lukas watches as an Enderman is killed and its heart (the ender pearl) is shattered as it died, black energy embracing him. He gains teleportation and is allergic to water
Petra helps whoever shes with mine gold, unknowing it'd anger the pigmen in the area. Brother gets killed by the sudden swarm but Petra leaves unscathed. Infact the pigmen didnt even bat an eye at her even though she had mined the gold. She begins to have a fascination with gold or other shiny objects and finds herself most comfortable in the nether/where its hot
Lukas and Petra have already met and are friends before the change
Jesse and Jess (Jess was the one who met Rueben) meet soon after and a year later they met Olivia and half a year later they meet Axel
One day (they are all like 13 or 14) Lukas finds out how to Teleport across Dimensions (Overworld, Nether, End) and so he takes Petra to the End, because Petra was good at fighting and he needed someone like that.
In the End, while Lukas had the immunity to Enderman, Petra did not. One ended up pushing her into the Void. She only survived due to the interference of a "Watcher's Canary" (Life Series watchers, guess which one: Jimmy, Lizzie, or Mumbo)
She is taken to a different world for a moment to heal, as the Void still did some damage just didnt quite kill her. In this world she had the choice to choose who, or what, she could be. She choose a Blazeborn as she liked the feel of the Nether and missed it. (Origins SMP)
After about three months there (three weeks in MCSM world) she is taken back with the help of a Goddess who watched over the Void and its Travellers. In order to go back though, she had to become a Traveller herself.
She never told anyone that. Lukas ends up finding out about a week before MCSM begins. (So 3 ish years later) Strictly because it started raining one day when they were hanging out without the Ocelots and they both ran for cover. Something Petra never did before and often teased Lukas about. Lukas asks and Petra gives in and tells him about everything. Including traumas that took place between her becoming a Traveller and then.

...MCSM Character Roleplay asks are welcomed... I forgot to say that and I feel like an ass now sorry.
Odd. Deep within this 'bunker' lies two tiny golems. Yet they are not made of iron like those that guard the village and its inhabitants to this day, but of copper, of all things.
They clearly have seen some things (perhaps simply moisture from an old indoor garden? Or the water pool for a safe landing?). I cannot fix them with the iron I have, so I must gather copper the next time I attempt to brave the caverns.
Day 5138:
I did it. I gathered enough copper (and redstone) to get the little machines working. They are still weathered, but shouldn't oxidize any further. While cleaning them up from grime, I noticed they had names upon their shoulders. 'Copy' and 'Paste'. I fear that their previous owner's name was too damaged to salvage.
Copy has back plates that are too sensitive to be exposed to any possible dreary weather conditions, and so I gave him my coat. Its too warm here for it anyways.
Day 5149:
These copper golems seemed to have been programmed to sort things. Atleast, that is what the one named Paste is doing. Copy refuses to leave my side and is consistently trying to give me back the leather cloak. Perhaps the thing knows of its injured state. Even as I write now, with a body mutilated by a curse I couldn't see, the golem stands by my side, looking up at me with a dull eye, the other being too damaged to see with.
"Would you mind getting me some more honeycomb? From the town square? Please?"
"I mean... I can, but why don't you want to? I saw you there earlier... why didn't you get it then?"
...
"I- uh.. I'd rather focus on making a home that's liveable... you know?"
"Alright then. How much do you need?"
"Enough to wax five more lanterns."
"Ok. I'll get it to you tomorrow."
Strange... why did she sound like she was guilty? Was the skull already infecting her so soon? But... no. It couldn't she never found it until after she was living comfortably. There has to be more I'm missing.
As the reunion of the New Order begins and everyone who was apart of the defeat of the Witherstorm gather in the streets of Beacontown and talk amongst friends, Harper approaches Jesse, leaning in to whisper in a hushed tone.
"Meet me in the Order Hall, around midnight. Bring the others."
As midnight rolls around, and most of the celebratory activities concluded, Jesse, and the rest of the New Order, swarm into the Hall.
"I don't understand," Axel grumbled understand his breath, "If Harper wanted to talk to us she had time to do so during the reunion."
Olivia rolled her eyes. "Perhaps she needed secrecy, Axel. Have you considered that?"
"Yeah, but secrecy for what?"
Before them, Harper stood in conversation with Soren, Otto, and Ivor.
"She lives?" Otto questioned, dark eyes widening. "There... There's no way. That place– that portal– was cursed. Haunted..."
"Then why have I been getting vauge messages and signs from there?" Harper defended. There was an odd sense of hope in her voice.
"Oh, good you're hear," Soren spoke as he laid eyes on the approaching group, bringing Harper and Otto's conversation to an end. "We need to talk."
"About what?" Jess asked from the middle of the hall.
"About someone we once knew." Otto murmured. "Someone who should be dead."
"We thought that with Cassie as well. And you've heard how that went." Harper interjected.
"There's another Old Builder?!" Ivor exclaimed, bouncing as much as his old knees would let him, wonder sparkling in his eyes.
Simultaneously, Harper and Otto sighed. They still hated that term.
"Not exactly. She was... a friend. Helped us find and create a good share of what we had considered valuable. Take the Heart and the Atlas for example." Harper explained. "She... she was the first to run away."
"I prefer the word drift." Otto muttered.
"She had left a few of us details of the portal she ran through. It was one we avoided due to the strange activity I kept reading from it. Going there seemed like a death sentence, no life, no escape portal. Nothing. And yet, she went through."
"So what? You want us to go through a portal that you knew to avoid, that has no way of escaping, to find a lost friend?" Petra rambled. "That's. That's foolish. We will get stuck–"
"A portal opened." Harper growled. "She presumably... made a portal. And no, it won't be just you. I'm going as well. If I know her, and that world, she won't trust people she never heard of before. But with a little refreshing with me I'm sure she will follow."
"Wait. If there's a portal, why in Notch's asscrack hasn't she left on her own?"
Silence.
(OOC note: from now on, Ira's notes will be in blue; others, if I do them will have specified colors)
I was once apart of a large group of trustworthy reliable friends. It was a strange mix, but we found joy in eachother's company. At least, I did. I doubt they really cared about me. I was expendable, and not (to their terms) that "fun". I was the smart one. The one who took care of the engineering and structuring plans.
There was also:
Cassie Rose, she was... strange. A thief, some would call her. To others, a madman with a suicidal dream. She always had something to say. An insult or a kind word, it really depended on the day... and who you were to her.
Otto was always more into history than I was, so was the woman he introduced to our group, Harper. Harper was the more outgoing of the two, more open. Otto was more quiet (not as quiet as Cassie was the first few years, but still), yet he listened when we were having a bad day.
The other duo was Hadrian and Mevia. Those two were... evil. Especially together. They would push those down to raise themselves as high as they could.
Finally there was Soren... I fear I left before I could get the chance to know the boy. I hope Isa is taking good care of him.
Not that it matters anymore. Because I am here and they are... elsewhere. Enjoying the pleasures of eachothers company while I waste away in this hollow world. Its just me here. Me and echoes, for lack of better words, of what was. A group of friends who adventured together for... I haven't figured out. Until one of them, a girl around the age of 17 who's name remains unknown to me, found something odd in a cavern. I believe it to be the skull that sits next to me as I write this. The girl found it, presumably put it on to prank her friends, but it ended up corrupting her, and this world. A war had broken out, and after an unspecified time, the world seemed to... cease to exist. Humanity persished from drought, exploisons, or invasions. Mods had died out... Well, save for some villagers who were friendly and welcoming enough to offer me a place to rest, as well as the book I write in and the pen and ink I write with now.
I wonder if figuring out what took place here will enlighten a way for me to escape... I miss my friends. And my home. And the silence that this damned skull is preventing.
Axel and Magnus are within Boomtown, both working on separate projects. Out of nowhere, Axel speaks up.
"Hey... so, uh.. back with the dragon... when exactly was that? I mean... no one every brought up an actual date, just that the deed had been done."
Magnus pauses, looking up at Axel with gunpowder dusted across his face. "Oh, I dunno, kid. Probably..." he trails off, eyes distant as he puffs out air, attempting to recall the exact day. "Probably... five or six years ago now..." Returning his attention to the mess infront of him, he distantly continues. "Why d'you ask, huh?"
Axel looked down at trembling fingers, mind racing as realization washes over him. No. Not realization. Confirmation. He watched as iron grew from his nails and across his hands. Terrified, he put his jacket back on and shoved his hands as well as the gift he had been making into its pockets.
"Kid?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry, Magnus... I–" he blinked, trying to control his breathing. "I have to go. Don't want to be late to our reunion... its been too long!" As much as he wished to bolt for the door, the iron he had been 'infected' with weighed him to a pace that contradicted his hurry to leave.
After escaping the hoard of mind possessed villagers (including two of their friends) Jess, Jesse and Ivor finally regroup with Harper. Who seemed none too pleased. In fact, she was pissed. Meeting all three of their eyes in a single glare.
"Now. One of you three better start explaining to me why not only was I having to outrun P.A.M.A.'S puppets, but was dodging fireballs and having to outwit a teleporting fiend?"
Ivor sputtered, confused. "What do we have to do with that?!"
"You should tell me," she paused, "hopefully before you choke on that beard of yours."
The twins remained silent. Was it worth giving up their most kept secret? They just found out about the fact Petra had the abilities of a blaze, and telling both Harper and Ivor would destroy any possible chance they had on finding out why she did.
Jesse spoke up. "It- it really is a long story..."
Harper tutted. "Oh don't worry, I have time. Because I'm not helping you three until I find out. You could get chipped for all I care."
"We don't know why-" Jess chirped up, knowing they needed Harper's help more than anything. "But something happened in our world- and.. well.. we are sort of..."
"We are hybrids of certain mobs.. normally not hostile mobs.."
"So why the fireballs? The redhead played with fire too much?" Harper rolled her eyes.
"We, honestly we don't know.. she hasn't said anything besides that she had abilities of both a blaze and a piglin..."
"You better pray to Notch that you aren't lying. Because if I find out, P.A.M.A. will be the least of your worries."
Ivor chuckled nervously although he still seemed distant, pondering what was just revealed about Lukas and Petra. "Yes ma'am."
Jack: "What's with your sword?"
Petra: "Hm?"
Jack: "I mean, its gold and yet its, dare I say it, as strong as mine if not stronger. What enchantments do you have on it?"
Petra: "Ah... well, mending and sharpness are the only ones I remember... there's probably some others, like unbreaking... although I don't remember how strong the enchantments are..."
