Introduction, though I suppose I need no introducing, do I? || last upd. on 6/19/26

Hey Tumblr, it’s d3r. Haven't been on here in a while, though due to personal reasons that you all most definitely know about, I should be able to answer anyone's questions. Besides, he made an account as well. The account should help warn him.. if possible.

--

Heya! Its the mod for this account, or Mex!!!! This is a derek silly blog acc, so a few ground rules!!

Derek had his jolly 15 seconds of pepper spray, and therefore knows a lot. HOWEVER, dont quiz him on the events of dawtde since that hasn't happened yet. (No anons about dawtde.... yet.)

Harass Derek, not me please!!

No nsfw! that's weird and icky, especially to a m-m-m-MINOR!!

no slurs, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, ect. on this page. Its PRIDE month, not pridophobia month.

If you want to ask stuff about Avery, ask about @averytheflippinmayo since they're my Avery :3

ask away!! Derek is a big fat NERD and likes answering things... Even if he can't leave his pc for now. Just don't ask too many repetitive questions! >U<

(Derek is aware of KiY and that he knows about its Knowledge. Don't ask him too much about it.)

Mod will refer to characters with colors. Derek is red, Avery is green, KiY (if EVER mentioned) is orange, and Mod is purple!!! :3

DEREK GOES BY HE/HIM, MOD GOES BY SHE/HER/THEY

AU IS BEFORE DAWTDE !! VERY IMPORTANT FOR QUESTIONNARES

ALSO TAGS!!!

#themumbles -- just mumbling and rambling. can include asks or normal posts

#thed3rlore -- lore posts!! for future threads I will include this when it comes to lore

#2dasks -- asks!! so if you wanna see asks filter through those ^.^

mexarator speaking! -- ooc or mod speak :] look at these for random crap Mex posts or whatever

Something is here. -- ROLEPLAYS!!! yay

THANK YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ASK HIM STUFF IM LIKE ON ME KNEES OLEASE!!!!1!1!1!

Have fun, Mex signing off.

[cyphd3r]

If you know all of the past and present you can pretty accurately predict the future as well!

-Ducky

Well.. You have a point there.

That doesn't mean I'm an expert, though... I have a theory.

i believe... actually, no. I won't be so stupid as to disclose it here.

Though, you are correct. History, if forgotten, will only repeat until it is broken.

[cyphd3r]

“….where am I…???? Hello??”

@erinthem0stknight

why is there a kid in my Minecraft world from what I know it should just be me and..

hello?

how are you feeling

???

[erinthem0stknight]

I’m fine.

I just opened my computer and this place was…preset.

I didn’t even click to open Minecraft.

[cyphd3r]

Oh.

Bringing a kid into this? Are you kidding me? sick bastard.

thats...

not good.

wanna read this book?

{d3rlord3 gave one of the billions of books to the kid in front of him. The text read as follows.}

{But remember this my brother. See in this some higher plan. You must use this precious silver to become an honest man. By the witness of the martyrs. By the Passion, and the blood, I have raised you out of darkness. I have bought your soul for God.}

(BTW SHES IN IN THE LIBRARY OF BABEL RN!!! derek made the hole to drop down into to wait for Avery but hasn't gone down yet!!! <3)

[erinthem0stknight]

She huffs reading the book

“The king is a prick is what.”

[cyphd3r]

"Ahm—" Derek (in the real world) stops to read what's in his chat. Then he sighs, and keeps talking.

yeah

youre right

[erinthem0stknight]

“Sorry.”

“Look if I’m gonna be honest with you I’ve been through this charade before.”

[cyphd3r]

and?

what did you get out of it?

[erinthem0stknight]

“…nothing really.”

“Trauma? And chronic pain?”

“…the right to exist?”

[cyphd3r]

Derek's in game avatar seems to glance around. Then, it sits on the wooden floorboards. (pretend cushions or the mod that helps avatars sit exists)

would you like to sit down and tell me about it?

or would you like to leave it be?

[erinthem0stknight]

Her avatar sits besides him

“…it’s not much of a story. Well, not one that I wanna talk about but…I’ll explain this.”

“The king made me.”

[cyphd3r]

... what. the king made this... this Minecraft player. okay. cool. great.

did he raise you?

or did he just make you

[erinthem0stknight]

“What? No, he didn’t raise me. Thank god for that.”

“He just made me. I- I am a real person by the way. I’m not just code he warped into existence.”

“I didn’t tell you my name didn’t I Derek?”

[cyphd3r]

Derek jolts slightly. Obviously not in game, but in the 'real' world, instead. But then, his senses come back. They were made by It. Of course they'd know.

you did not

i believe you

on the real person thing

i don't think you'd be able to have mannerisms like that if you weren't

[erinthem0stknight]

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you-….i know a lot more than you do. I think. Every version of you has some sort of range of how much knowledge they have.”

“I am still a kid though, I’m not like- I god or anything. Maybe like….a nymph? That’s making my existence more positive anyway. I’ve only explained the surface.”

“But my name is Erin.”

“My last name isn’t relevant.”

[cyphd3r]

got it.

what do you think you're doing here? In the Library, i mean.

(could I make Derek omniscient and know most literally everything after he merges with the king.??? hmmmmmmm maybe maybe... I do love me some eldritch derek....)

[erinthem0stknight]

“I don’t know. I’m just. Going though the motions. I wish my dads were home right now.”

(👀👀👀)

[cyphd3r]

your dads?

what are they like?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Well my dad, he’s super smart! He’s super quiet though, he helps me out with my homeschool. And then my papa- he’s super silly!”

“But they both protect me equally.”

[cyphd3r]

Derek smiled. To whom? Who knows, all that existed was him and the computer screen, alone in their dance of doomed tragedy, fated to walk a million times in tandem.

thats nice.

whos your favorite?

[erinthem0stknight]

“I don’t have a favorite. How could I? I love them both equally. If only.”

Her chats hesitated for a minute before she typed again

“If only I wasn’t just a vessel.”

[cyphd3r]

a vessel?

The reservoir of his insight seemed to throb with... anticipation, at the word.

Personally, Derek hated the idea of forced "vessels". His father (before his parents divorced) had always been keen to make Derek follow in his footsteps. Almost like one.

you aren't just a vessel, Erin.

you're a real person

you even said it yourself, earlier.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know. My dads tell me that too”

“….but it was the reason I was made.”

[cyphd3r]

and? what does that matter?

birds have layers of feathers extending along their wings, and although those feathers were originally made for thermal insulation, they're now used as a component of their flight.

just like you, Erin. even if you were made for being a "vessel", that doesn't mean you can't change to be something you want to be.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know. I know.”

“I’m not what I’m made to be. And Plus my dads are here with me, they have experience with the king.”

[cyphd3r]

they do? what kind of experience?

where the fuck did this kid come from bro

[erinthem0stknight]

“I dunno.”

“They won’t tell me much, but I do remember them saying that they met in a library like this.”

[cyphd3r]

Ah.

That's... endearing? Not sure what exactly I should respond to that.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Nono that’s okay.”

“I have a massive headache rn…”

[cyphd3r]

my minecraft character won't truly provide much comfort, but regardless..

would you like to scoot closer?

[erinthem0stknight]

“That’s fine. You remind me a lot of one of my dads”

[cyphd3r]

oh?

One of the mysterious dads that answered the King? Well... Derek has a hunch, but that doesn't mean he has to like it.

which one?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Hmmmm should I really tell you? I have a gut feeling you know. To some degree”

[cyphd3r]

Derek's suspicions are slowly being confirmed, but he tries DESPERATELY to avoid the truth of the matter. (but what if it is him? this kid has said so much stuff about the guy it isnt hard to figure out.. but Derek? A FATHER? Derek doesn't want to fail someone like his father failed him.)

i'm just asking

doesn't mean you have to answer

[erinthem0stknight]

“…his name is Derek, and my other dads name is Avery”

[cyphd3r]

WHAT.

oh

Derek is blushing. Red. Very, very red.

[erinthem0stknight]

“…? Shit- I sorry- yknow it. It’s definitely not something I can just waltz up and say to you know?”

“Like oh hey! I’m your kid from an alternate reality! I it’s stupid-“

[cyphd3r]

no, don't worry. I understand your awkwardness.

i believe you know much about... (me? her dad? IM MARRIED TO AVERY?!) me, but do you want to know anything about myself?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Uhm…anything you wanna share really.”

“I- I know it’s probably daunting to hear you’re…a dad but I promise you’re a great dad”

[cyphd3r]

i appreciate it, considering how highly you spoke of your

father figures

i'd like you to ask me anything. if I'm a only a version and not a parallel of your dads, that's should mean you don't know some things about me, correct? you can ask anything you aren't sure about, Erin.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Uhm…what was your life like before this…?”

[cyphd3r]

well, I was a straight A student in all of my classes. Honors, AP, you name it. I was stellar at it all. my parents divorced when I was 10, after my father found a better job and a better life for himself. He only left me with my mom because... well, she got custody. he paid child support, but I never saw him after that.

i went to college, and you might think I graduated, but I actually dropped out. couldn't understand why people wanted to succeed so badly. it was just too easy for me.

eventually, I got a job as a freelance coder. didn't pay too horribly, just enough for an apartment and some necessities. then, I got the laptop off of craigslist. didn't think much of it, though after I'd forget the laptop, the account had disappeared, and.. well.

i'm here now. does that answer your question, erin?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Yeah, it…explains very well. Both my dads don’t really like talking about their families. In detail anyway. I’ve never met any other of my family members.”

[cyphd3r]

if they're the same as mine.. I hope you never meet them, erin. for your own good.

though i can see why the other version of myself is reluctant to tell you. don't worry too much about it though, I believe they just want you safe, like most parents.

[erinthem0stknight]

She nods, she feels a little awkward

“Makes sense.”

“Man im tired…”

[cyphd3r]

sleep, then.

it isnt like im busy at the moment, i can watch your avatar and make sure nothing touches it as long as I'm still here.

besides, since you aren't in Minecraft yourself, you can always just take a break and sleep, mkay?

[erinthem0stknight]

“….thats true but I’m afraid if I fall asleep. I will go back into the game itself. Again…”

“I- I can’t go through that again”

[cyphd3r]

can you close the tab? if you can't, its okay. trust me.

you can do it, Erin.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I can’t close the tab. The computer won’t die it won’t turn off if I close it”

[cyphd3r]

hmmm

can you force quit the computer? Or open the task manager? in my world, the original computer was a macbook, so you could always just force quit. but.. im not completely sure.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I’ve tried everything. Dunno what else to do…”

[cyphd3r]

well

have you tried asking others for help yet?

other than myself, of course.

[cyphd3r]

“….where am I…???? Hello??”

“Hmmmm should I really tell you? I have a gut feeling you know. To some degree”

[cyphd3r]

Derek's suspicions are slowly being confirmed, but he tries DESPERATELY to avoid the truth of the matter. (but what if it is him? this kid has said so much stuff about the guy it isnt hard to figure out.. but Derek? A FATHER? Derek doesn't want to fail someone like his father failed him.)

i'm just asking

doesn't mean you have to answer

[erinthem0stknight]

“…his name is Derek, and my other dads name is Avery”

[cyphd3r]

WHAT.

oh

Derek is blushing. Red. Very, very red.

[erinthem0stknight]

“…? Shit- I sorry- yknow it. It’s definitely not something I can just waltz up and say to you know?”

“Like oh hey! I’m your kid from an alternate reality! I it’s stupid-“

[cyphd3r]

no, don't worry. I understand your awkwardness.

i believe you know much about... (me? her dad? IM MARRIED TO AVERY?!) me, but do you want to know anything about myself?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Uhm…anything you wanna share really.”

“I- I know it’s probably daunting to hear you’re…a dad but I promise you’re a great dad”

[cyphd3r]

i appreciate it, considering how highly you spoke of your

father figures

i'd like you to ask me anything. if I'm a only a version and not a parallel of your dads, that's should mean you don't know some things about me, correct? you can ask anything you aren't sure about, Erin.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Uhm…what was your life like before this…?”

[cyphd3r]

well, I was a straight A student in all of my classes. Honors, AP, you name it. I was stellar at it all. my parents divorced when I was 10, after my father found a better job and a better life for himself. He only left me with my mom because... well, she got custody. he paid child support, but I never saw him after that.

i went to college, and you might think I graduated, but I actually dropped out. couldn't understand why people wanted to succeed so badly. it was just too easy for me.

eventually, I got a job as a freelance coder. didn't pay too horribly, just enough for an apartment and some necessities. then, I got the laptop off of craigslist. didn't think much of it, though after I'd forget the laptop, the account had disappeared, and.. well.

i'm here now. does that answer your question, erin?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Yeah, it…explains very well. Both my dads don’t really like talking about their families. In detail anyway. I’ve never met any other of my family members.”

[cyphd3r]

if they're the same as mine.. I hope you never meet them, erin. for your own good.

though i can see why the other version of myself is reluctant to tell you. don't worry too much about it though, I believe they just want you safe, like most parents.

[erinthem0stknight]

She nods, she feels a little awkward

“Makes sense.”

“Man im tired…”

[cyphd3r]

sleep, then.

it isnt like im busy at the moment, i can watch your avatar and make sure nothing touches it as long as I'm still here.

besides, since you aren't in Minecraft yourself, you can always just take a break and sleep, mkay?

[erinthem0stknight]

“….thats true but I’m afraid if I fall asleep. I will go back into the game itself. Again…”

“I- I can’t go through that again”

[cyphd3r]

can you close the tab? if you can't, its okay. trust me.

you can do it, Erin.

[cyphd3r]

“….where am I…???? Hello??”

@erinthem0stknight

why is there a kid in my Minecraft world from what I know it should just be me and..

hello?

how are you feeling

???

[erinthem0stknight]

I’m fine.

I just opened my computer and this place was…preset.

I didn’t even click to open Minecraft.

[cyphd3r]

Oh.

Bringing a kid into this? Are you kidding me? sick bastard.

thats...

not good.

wanna read this book?

{d3rlord3 gave one of the billions of books to the kid in front of him. The text read as follows.}

{But remember this my brother. See in this some higher plan. You must use this precious silver to become an honest man. By the witness of the martyrs. By the Passion, and the blood, I have raised you out of darkness. I have bought your soul for God.}

(BTW SHES IN IN THE LIBRARY OF BABEL RN!!! derek made the hole to drop down into to wait for Avery but hasn't gone down yet!!! <3)

[erinthem0stknight]

She huffs reading the book

“The king is a prick is what.”

[cyphd3r]

"Ahm—" Derek (in the real world) stops to read what's in his chat. Then he sighs, and keeps talking.

yeah

youre right

[erinthem0stknight]

“Sorry.”

“Look if I’m gonna be honest with you I’ve been through this charade before.”

[cyphd3r]

and?

what did you get out of it?

[erinthem0stknight]

“…nothing really.”

“Trauma? And chronic pain?”

“…the right to exist?”

[cyphd3r]

Derek's in game avatar seems to glance around. Then, it sits on the wooden floorboards. (pretend cushions or the mod that helps avatars sit exists)

would you like to sit down and tell me about it?

or would you like to leave it be?

[erinthem0stknight]

Her avatar sits besides him

“…it’s not much of a story. Well, not one that I wanna talk about but…I’ll explain this.”

“The king made me.”

[cyphd3r]

... what. the king made this... this Minecraft player. okay. cool. great.

did he raise you?

or did he just make you

[erinthem0stknight]

“What? No, he didn’t raise me. Thank god for that.”

“He just made me. I- I am a real person by the way. I’m not just code he warped into existence.”

“I didn’t tell you my name didn’t I Derek?”

[cyphd3r]

Derek jolts slightly. Obviously not in game, but in the 'real' world, instead. But then, his senses come back. They were made by It. Of course they'd know.

you did not

i believe you

on the real person thing

i don't think you'd be able to have mannerisms like that if you weren't

[erinthem0stknight]

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you-….i know a lot more than you do. I think. Every version of you has some sort of range of how much knowledge they have.”

“I am still a kid though, I’m not like- I god or anything. Maybe like….a nymph? That’s making my existence more positive anyway. I’ve only explained the surface.”

“But my name is Erin.”

“My last name isn’t relevant.”

[cyphd3r]

got it.

what do you think you're doing here? In the Library, i mean.

(could I make Derek omniscient and know most literally everything after he merges with the king.??? hmmmmmmm maybe maybe... I do love me some eldritch derek....)

[erinthem0stknight]

“I don’t know. I’m just. Going though the motions. I wish my dads were home right now.”

(👀👀👀)

[cyphd3r]

your dads?

what are they like?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Well my dad, he’s super smart! He’s super quiet though, he helps me out with my homeschool. And then my papa- he’s super silly!”

“But they both protect me equally.”

[cyphd3r]

Derek smiled. To whom? Who knows, all that existed was him and the computer screen, alone in their dance of doomed tragedy, fated to walk a million times in tandem.

thats nice.

whos your favorite?

[erinthem0stknight]

“I don’t have a favorite. How could I? I love them both equally. If only.”

Her chats hesitated for a minute before she typed again

“If only I wasn’t just a vessel.”

[cyphd3r]

a vessel?

The reservoir of his insight seemed to throb with... anticipation, at the word.

Personally, Derek hated the idea of forced "vessels". His father (before his parents divorced) had always been keen to make Derek follow in his footsteps. Almost like one.

you aren't just a vessel, Erin.

you're a real person

you even said it yourself, earlier.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know. My dads tell me that too”

“….but it was the reason I was made.”

[cyphd3r]

and? what does that matter?

birds have layers of feathers extending along their wings, and although those feathers were originally made for thermal insulation, they're now used as a component of their flight.

just like you, Erin. even if you were made for being a "vessel", that doesn't mean you can't change to be something you want to be.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know. I know.”

“I’m not what I’m made to be. And Plus my dads are here with me, they have experience with the king.”

[cyphd3r]

they do? what kind of experience?

where the fuck did this kid come from bro

[erinthem0stknight]

“I dunno.”

“They won’t tell me much, but I do remember them saying that they met in a library like this.”

[cyphd3r]

Ah.

That's... endearing? Not sure what exactly I should respond to that.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Nono that’s okay.”

“I have a massive headache rn…”

[cyphd3r]

my minecraft character won't truly provide much comfort, but regardless..

would you like to scoot closer?

[erinthem0stknight]

“That’s fine. You remind me a lot of one of my dads”

[cyphd3r]

oh?

One of the mysterious dads that answered the King? Well... Derek has a hunch, but that doesn't mean he has to like it.

which one?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Hmmmm should I really tell you? I have a gut feeling you know. To some degree”

[cyphd3r]

“Like oh hey! I’m your kid from an alternate reality! I it’s stupid-“

[cyphd3r]

no, don't worry. I understand your awkwardness.

i believe you know much about... (me? her dad? IM MARRIED TO AVERY?!) me, but do you want to know anything about myself?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Uhm…anything you wanna share really.”

“I- I know it’s probably daunting to hear you’re…a dad but I promise you’re a great dad”

[cyphd3r]

i appreciate it, considering how highly you spoke of your

father figures

i'd like you to ask me anything. if I'm a only a version and not a parallel of your dads, that's should mean you don't know some things about me, correct? you can ask anything you aren't sure about, Erin.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Uhm…what was your life like before this…?”

[cyphd3r]

well, I was a straight A student in all of my classes. Honors, AP, you name it. I was stellar at it all. my parents divorced when I was 10, after my father found a better job and a better life for himself. He only left me with my mom because... well, she got custody. he paid child support, but I never saw him after that.

i went to college, and you might think I graduated, but I actually dropped out. couldn't understand why people wanted to succeed so badly. it was just too easy for me.

eventually, I got a job as a freelance coder. didn't pay too horribly, just enough for an apartment and some necessities. then, I got the laptop off of craigslist. didn't think much of it, though after I'd forget the laptop, the account had disappeared, and.. well.

i'm here now. does that answer your question, erin?

[cyphd3r]

“….where am I…???? Hello??”

@erinthem0stknight

why is there a kid in my Minecraft world from what I know it should just be me and..

hello?

how are you feeling

???

[erinthem0stknight]

I’m fine.

I just opened my computer and this place was…preset.

I didn’t even click to open Minecraft.

[cyphd3r]

Oh.

Bringing a kid into this? Are you kidding me? sick bastard.

thats...

not good.

wanna read this book?

{d3rlord3 gave one of the billions of books to the kid in front of him. The text read as follows.}

{But remember this my brother. See in this some higher plan. You must use this precious silver to become an honest man. By the witness of the martyrs. By the Passion, and the blood, I have raised you out of darkness. I have bought your soul for God.}

(BTW SHES IN IN THE LIBRARY OF BABEL RN!!! derek made the hole to drop down into to wait for Avery but hasn't gone down yet!!! <3)

[erinthem0stknight]

She huffs reading the book

“The king is a prick is what.”

[cyphd3r]

"Ahm—" Derek (in the real world) stops to read what's in his chat. Then he sighs, and keeps talking.

yeah

youre right

[erinthem0stknight]

“Sorry.”

“Look if I’m gonna be honest with you I’ve been through this charade before.”

[cyphd3r]

and?

what did you get out of it?

[erinthem0stknight]

“…nothing really.”

“Trauma? And chronic pain?”

“…the right to exist?”

[cyphd3r]

Derek's in game avatar seems to glance around. Then, it sits on the wooden floorboards. (pretend cushions or the mod that helps avatars sit exists)

would you like to sit down and tell me about it?

or would you like to leave it be?

[erinthem0stknight]

Her avatar sits besides him

“…it’s not much of a story. Well, not one that I wanna talk about but…I’ll explain this.”

“The king made me.”

[cyphd3r]

... what. the king made this... this Minecraft player. okay. cool. great.

did he raise you?

or did he just make you

[erinthem0stknight]

“What? No, he didn’t raise me. Thank god for that.”

“He just made me. I- I am a real person by the way. I’m not just code he warped into existence.”

“I didn’t tell you my name didn’t I Derek?”

[cyphd3r]

Derek jolts slightly. Obviously not in game, but in the 'real' world, instead. But then, his senses come back. They were made by It. Of course they'd know.

you did not

i believe you

on the real person thing

i don't think you'd be able to have mannerisms like that if you weren't

[erinthem0stknight]

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you-….i know a lot more than you do. I think. Every version of you has some sort of range of how much knowledge they have.”

“I am still a kid though, I’m not like- I god or anything. Maybe like….a nymph? That’s making my existence more positive anyway. I’ve only explained the surface.”

“But my name is Erin.”

“My last name isn’t relevant.”

[cyphd3r]

got it.

what do you think you're doing here? In the Library, i mean.

(could I make Derek omniscient and know most literally everything after he merges with the king.??? hmmmmmmm maybe maybe... I do love me some eldritch derek....)

[erinthem0stknight]

“I don’t know. I’m just. Going though the motions. I wish my dads were home right now.”

(👀👀👀)

[cyphd3r]

your dads?

what are they like?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Well my dad, he’s super smart! He’s super quiet though, he helps me out with my homeschool. And then my papa- he’s super silly!”

“But they both protect me equally.”

[cyphd3r]

Derek smiled. To whom? Who knows, all that existed was him and the computer screen, alone in their dance of doomed tragedy, fated to walk a million times in tandem.

thats nice.

whos your favorite?

[erinthem0stknight]

“I don’t have a favorite. How could I? I love them both equally. If only.”

Her chats hesitated for a minute before she typed again

“If only I wasn’t just a vessel.”

[cyphd3r]

a vessel?

The reservoir of his insight seemed to throb with... anticipation, at the word.

Personally, Derek hated the idea of forced "vessels". His father (before his parents divorced) had always been keen to make Derek follow in his footsteps. Almost like one.

you aren't just a vessel, Erin.

you're a real person

you even said it yourself, earlier.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know. My dads tell me that too”

“….but it was the reason I was made.”

[cyphd3r]

and? what does that matter?

birds have layers of feathers extending along their wings, and although those feathers were originally made for thermal insulation, they're now used as a component of their flight.

just like you, Erin. even if you were made for being a "vessel", that doesn't mean you can't change to be something you want to be.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know. I know.”

“I’m not what I’m made to be. And Plus my dads are here with me, they have experience with the king.”

[cyphd3r]

they do? what kind of experience?

where the fuck did this kid come from bro

[erinthem0stknight]

“I dunno.”

“They won’t tell me much, but I do remember them saying that they met in a library like this.”

[cyphd3r]

Ah.

That's... endearing? Not sure what exactly I should respond to that.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Nono that’s okay.”

“I have a massive headache rn…”

[cyphd3r]

my minecraft character won't truly provide much comfort, but regardless..

would you like to scoot closer?

[erinthem0stknight]

“That’s fine. You remind me a lot of one of my dads”

[cyphd3r]

oh?

One of the mysterious dads that answered the King? Well... Derek has a hunch, but that doesn't mean he has to like it.

which one?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Hmmmm should I really tell you? I have a gut feeling you know. To some degree”

[cyphd3r]

Derek's suspicions are slowly being confirmed, but he tries DESPERATELY to avoid the truth of the matter. (but what if it is him? this kid has said so much stuff about the guy it isnt hard to figure out.. but Derek? A FATHER? Derek doesn't want to fail someone like his father failed him.)

i'm just asking

doesn't mean you have to answer

[erinthem0stknight]

“…his name is Derek, and my other dads name is Avery”

[cyphd3r]

WHAT.

oh

Derek is blushing. Red. Very, very red.

[erinthem0stknight]

[cyphd3r]

* (Silence rang out for a while. Yet, after a moment, a voice made itself known.)

"Well, greetings. You seem interesting."

"How are you doing this fine evening?"

* (Nothing could be seen, not in minecraft, not in the real world. But, the voice was there indeed.)

(<○> @voicefrom-thevoid)

Greetings to you as well.

I'm, well, it would suffice to say that I'm not in the greatest of predicaments at the moment. You?

[voicefrom-thevoid]

"Yeah, it would appear so..."

"I'm doing decent myself. As well as any disembodied voice can be, of course."

"If I may ask, what are you currently up to? I'm assuming that you've got quite a lot of time in your hands."

* (The voice continued. It still didn't seem to have a specific position or form it could take. Just sound.)

[cyphd3r]

Of course. That's what this website is for, is it not? To ask the questions to others and get the responses in the format of ones choosing?

For what I'm currently up to, I've been poring over the literature in the library I'm currently in. The library itself isn't endless, but is around that length, like the different expanses of infinity.

However, you would be correct on the conclusion that I have time on my hands. Unfortunately, I cannot go back whence I came, and so I spend this time reading.

[voicefrom-thevoid]

* (The voice lets out a hum of acknowledgement at his words. After a short moment, it continues to speak.)

"Well, there could be far worse fates than spending time reading. I suppose I'm a good example of that myself..."

"No matter, that's not something important. Has any of the books you've read so far truly caught your eye? Any you find entertaining or interesting?"

* (It questioned once more. It appeared to be overly curious on what the man was up to, as well as anything else involved.)

[cyphd3r]

There isn't much I can be curious about, anymore.

Although he's sure no one can hear him, Derek lets out a dry chuckle in the lonely quiet of his room. And then he drinks a fraction of another smoothie.

Though, books inspired by Him are definitely useful for the.. situation.

[cyphd3r]

(could I make Derek omniscient and know most literally everything after he merges with the king.??? hmmmmmmm maybe maybe... I do love me some eldritch derek....)

[erinthem0stknight]

“I don’t know. I’m just. Going though the motions. I wish my dads were home right now.”

(👀👀👀)

[cyphd3r]

your dads?

what are they like?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Well my dad, he’s super smart! He’s super quiet though, he helps me out with my homeschool. And then my papa- he’s super silly!”

“But they both protect me equally.”

[cyphd3r]

Derek smiled. To whom? Who knows, all that existed was him and the computer screen, alone in their dance of doomed tragedy, fated to walk a million times in tandem.

thats nice.

whos your favorite?

[erinthem0stknight]

“I don’t have a favorite. How could I? I love them both equally. If only.”

Her chats hesitated for a minute before she typed again

“If only I wasn’t just a vessel.”

[cyphd3r]

a vessel?

The reservoir of his insight seemed to throb with... anticipation, at the word.

Personally, Derek hated the idea of forced "vessels". His father (before his parents divorced) had always been keen to make Derek follow in his footsteps. Almost like one.

you aren't just a vessel, Erin.

you're a real person

you even said it yourself, earlier.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know. My dads tell me that too”

“….but it was the reason I was made.”

[cyphd3r]

and? what does that matter?

birds have layers of feathers extending along their wings, and although those feathers were originally made for thermal insulation, they're now used as a component of their flight.

just like you, Erin. even if you were made for being a "vessel", that doesn't mean you can't change to be something you want to be.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know. I know.”

“I’m not what I’m made to be. And Plus my dads are here with me, they have experience with the king.”

[cyphd3r]

they do? what kind of experience?

where the fuck did this kid come from bro

[erinthem0stknight]

“I dunno.”

“They won’t tell me much, but I do remember them saying that they met in a library like this.”

[cyphd3r]

Ah.

That's... endearing? Not sure what exactly I should respond to that.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Nono that’s okay.”

“I have a massive headache rn…”

[cyphd3r]

my minecraft character won't truly provide much comfort, but regardless..

would you like to scoot closer?

[erinthem0stknight]

“That’s fine. You remind me a lot of one of my dads”

[cyphd3r]

oh?

One of the mysterious dads that answered the King? Well... Derek has a hunch, but that doesn't mean he has to like it.

which one?

[erinthem0stknight]

“Hmmmm should I really tell you? I have a gut feeling you know. To some degree”

[cyphd3r]

Derek's suspicions are slowly being confirmed, but he tries DESPERATELY to avoid the truth of the matter. (but what if it is him? this kid has said so much stuff about the guy it isnt hard to figure out.. but Derek? A FATHER? Derek doesn't want to fail someone like his father failed him.)

i'm just asking

doesn't mean you have to answer

[cyphd3r]

“….where am I…???? Hello??”

@erinthem0stknight

why is there a kid in my Minecraft world from what I know it should just be me and..

hello?

how are you feeling

???

[erinthem0stknight]

I’m fine.

I just opened my computer and this place was…preset.

I didn’t even click to open Minecraft.

[cyphd3r]

Oh.

Bringing a kid into this? Are you kidding me? sick bastard.

thats...

not good.

wanna read this book?

{d3rlord3 gave one of the billions of books to the kid in front of him. The text read as follows.}

{But remember this my brother. See in this some higher plan. You must use this precious silver to become an honest man. By the witness of the martyrs. By the Passion, and the blood, I have raised you out of darkness. I have bought your soul for God.}

(BTW SHES IN IN THE LIBRARY OF BABEL RN!!! derek made the hole to drop down into to wait for Avery but hasn't gone down yet!!! <3)

[erinthem0stknight]

She huffs reading the book

“The king is a prick is what.”

[cyphd3r]

"Ahm—" Derek (in the real world) stops to read what's in his chat. Then he sighs, and keeps talking.

yeah

youre right

[erinthem0stknight]

“Sorry.”

“Look if I’m gonna be honest with you I’ve been through this charade before.”

[cyphd3r]

and?

what did you get out of it?

[erinthem0stknight]

“…nothing really.”

“Trauma? And chronic pain?”

“…the right to exist?”

[cyphd3r]

Derek's in game avatar seems to glance around. Then, it sits on the wooden floorboards. (pretend cushions or the mod that helps avatars sit exists)

would you like to sit down and tell me about it?

or would you like to leave it be?

[erinthem0stknight]

Her avatar sits besides him

“…it’s not much of a story. Well, not one that I wanna talk about but…I’ll explain this.”

“The king made me.”

[cyphd3r]

... what. the king made this... this Minecraft player. okay. cool. great.

did he raise you?

or did he just make you

[erinthem0stknight]

“What? No, he didn’t raise me. Thank god for that.”

“He just made me. I- I am a real person by the way. I’m not just code he warped into existence.”

“I didn’t tell you my name didn’t I Derek?”

[cyphd3r]

Derek jolts slightly. Obviously not in game, but in the 'real' world, instead. But then, his senses come back. They were made by It. Of course they'd know.

you did not

i believe you

on the real person thing

i don't think you'd be able to have mannerisms like that if you weren't

[erinthem0stknight]

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you-….i know a lot more than you do. I think. Every version of you has some sort of range of how much knowledge they have.”

“I am still a kid though, I’m not like- I god or anything. Maybe like….a nymph? That’s making my existence more positive anyway. I’ve only explained the surface.”

“But my name is Erin.”

“My last name isn’t relevant.”

[cyphd3r]

got it.

* (Silence rang out for a while. Yet, after a moment, a voice made itself known.)

"Well, greetings. You seem interesting."

"How are you doing this fine evening?"

* (Nothing could be seen, not in minecraft, not in the real world. But, the voice was there indeed.)

(<○> @voicefrom-thevoid)

Greetings to you as well.

I'm, well, it would suffice to say that I'm not in the greatest of predicaments at the moment. You?

[voicefrom-thevoid]

"Yeah, it would appear so..."

"I'm doing decent myself. As well as any disembodied voice can be, of course."

"If I may ask, what are you currently up to? I'm assuming that you've got quite a lot of time in your hands."

* (The voice continued. It still didn't seem to have a specific position or form it could take. Just sound.)

[cyphd3r]

Of course. That's what this website is for, is it not? To ask the questions to others and get the responses in the format of ones choosing?

For what I'm currently up to, I've been poring over the literature in the library I'm currently in. The library itself isn't endless, but is around that length, like the different expanses of infinity.

However, you would be correct on the conclusion that I have time on my hands. Unfortunately, I cannot go back whence I came, and so I spend this time reading.
