#❁ lomedy speaks #❁ mod speaks

| She thinks she spent far to long watching his farm from her spot on a distant hill. It was… jarring, she supposes. It had been so long since she'd seen anyone, yet alone Lomedy. What could she even say? Sorry for not responding to your note I was stuck trapped in void? No that wouldn't work, she couldn't say. She didn't want to explain, she just wanted to push past it all. Just wanted to forget. |

“Okay just. Just talk to him. Its okay. Its fine.” | And so she forces herself to walk, nails picking at her hands and teeth digging into the inside of her cheek. It'll be fine. Its not like they weren't friends, they just had a small falling out. |

“I- Lomedy!” | She calls out to the farmer in the field, waving awkwardly. |

- @thereallyrealsquiddo

[ itd been weeks since lomedy interacted with anyone, and longer since he saw squiddo. their fight.. was it even a fight? squiddo didnt seem like she wanted lomedy to stay, letting him walk away and close his door. then it was silence for weeks. he went to her base a couple times, it was empty and decaying by the day. he just guessed she moved.. away.. maybe with someone else. but if she was happy that was all lomedy could ask for ]

[ he did attempt to make contact, leaving a note and his favorite flowers at her door. but they were never touched. they gave up after a while.. moving on.. best he could at least.. ]

oh my god arent you just the sweetest thing..

[ a baby pig oinked happily under lomedy, scratching its head on their leg ]

what should i name y--

[ dread. instant dread hit him. he didnt know what to do. which was funny because hed replayed this moment in his head hundreds of times. did he imagine it? wouldnt be the first time he heard voices.. ]

[ turning to the sound, he spotted an unfortunately familiar bright orange blob in the distance, waving at him. all he could do is stare at her ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She feels somewhat out of place in the fields as she makes her way towards him... the way he was looking at her, like she was a ghost. It hurt more than she'd like to admit. |

| As she gets close she slows down, and unsure what to say she doesn't speak. So she stands just a few steps away from him, eyes darting from his face to the ground than back to him before she looks off to the side before she forces any words out of her lips. | "I- uhm- Hi... Hi Lomedy... long time no see?" | she offers a small, unsure smile. |

what are you doing here

[ he accidentally spat it out. there were too many emotions for him to default to, and anger seemed to be the easiest. so many questions ran through his head; "where were you!?", "are you ok?", "wheres ashswag.", "why here?", "why now?" ]

[ he looked down at the carrot in his hand, picked off a dirty part of it and threw it to his side, a baby pig running after it. looking back at squiddo, they scanned her up and down, as if trying to find the girl he became friends with. he saw her, but he also saw someone else. a changed player under those familiar glasses. something had happened. although.. lomedy didnt know if he wanted to know ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

| Her smile drops for just a second, a look of hurt on her face, and she shifts back on her feet | "I-" | she wills herself not to crack at his tone. | "I got your note and your flower, I just- I just saw them, I wanted to say thank you. I havent had time to come by before and- well- I havent been to my home in a while, but im here now!" | Theres a moment of silence and she forces herself to smile, adjusting her glasses. | "how... how have you been?"

good. ive been good.. nothing very interestings happened... parrots king.. met back up with flame for a bit...

[ lomedy shifts their weight on their other hip, still cautious of her. he wasnt 100% convinced that she was even here ]

wait you just saw them..? what? squiddo, where have you been?

thereallyrealsquiddo

"Oh Well at least it's been peaceful...?" | She swallows at his question, looking away and chuckling awkwardly. She takes an unsure step back, hands working away at some threat on her sweater. | "I- Yeah- Ive been away for a while. Sorry." | She Chews on her lip, eyes still locked on anything but him | "Ive just been gone- I- Its- yeah. Gone. Im sorry, again. I wish I could have told you that Id be missing"

squiddo.. people dont just go missing. i-- ... thought.. i thought you were-

[ lomedys expression softens as he stares at squiddos face, wanting to just jump out and hug her. one of his only friends on the server.. someone who unknowingly got him through so much ]

... hows garlic hamster?

thereallyrealsquiddo

| He didn't need to continue, she knew what he was going to say. She cringes, body tensing. | "I- ... He's good. I'm lucky he didn't run away or get hurt. His fur was a bit matted but I spent some time brushing it out and washing him. And gave him some nicer food than what he was eating." | A softer smile finds its way on her face at talking about her beloved pet. | "how is your farm doing? It looks really nice. Well- it always looked nice but it looks even better now."

[ a pang of guilt washed over lomedy at the idea of garlic hamster going unkept. maybe if he took him in? would thatve been the right call? they looked around at their farm, the wheat fields bigger then squiddo wouldve last seen ]

ever since the LAW disbanded ive been a lot more free.. parrot asks for wheat a lot so ive started farming it more. hired builders too so the buildings look a bit nicer heh..

[ he fiddles with his sleeve awkwardly, stareing at squiddo, trying to decipher her ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"LAW disbanded?... Parrot's king??" | She mumbles half questioning to herself, eyebrows furrowing slightly. Gosh she must have missed so much. It felt a bit overwhelming. Beat not to focus on that though! | "I'm glad everything's getting better for you!" | she smiles, meeting his eyes again. | "it looks great, really! I mean- heh- I couldda built better, but yknow, Ill let these amateur builders help you out I suppose." | She chuckles softly to herself, admiring the buildings around her. It was pretty, it's a shame she didn't get to help. She would have loved to help. |

[ lomedy gave a smile to squiddo, but thats smile didnt fully meet his eyes. did she not realize how worried everyones been? how long shes been absent? all of the master builders had no clue where she went. he almost went and asked spoke and mappic what happened, as if theyd have an inkling ]

yeah.. catching up with flame and rekindling with my farmer friends been nice... even made friends? acquaintances? with boosfer and spongs.. been weird honestly

[ it was killing them not knowing what happened to squiddo, how to help, how to show that hes there for her. he could tell something was wrong. he absent mindedly pulled at his sleeve, thinking of what to offer ]

i have a few chores i still need to do while the suns up.. so...

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She tries to ignore the half hearted smile he gives her in return, to ignore the way he was looking at her as if she was in need of help, as if something was wrong. | "Oh Im happy for you, that sounds lovely!" | She wishes she had been there for it. Wishes she could have been moving on with her life as well. | "chores? I mean- I could help? I don't have anything better to do other than clean up my own base but that can wait!"

well i have a bunch of pumpkins that need to be put in chest boats to take to merchant city.. and i havent fed my puddle slime in a bit but it seems happy enough. what do you want to do?

[ this whole situation felt so weird. he knew squiddo wasnt the best at talking about her feelings, but they were past that werent they? was that fight really a fight? he tried to apologize but she was the one who didnt answer.. was it him? was he overthinking this? did she just need space? ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"I- yeah I can help with that! Im sure we can make quick work of pumpkins, it'll be lickity split." | She places her hands on her hips | "Oh puddle slime, yeah my slimes. I- Dont really know where they've gotten too if Im honest. I hope they're okay." | she clears her throat. God this was awkward. She needed to push past this. Make everything go back to normal. She just wanted everything to be normal again. | "So- ! Where are these pumpkins we're loading?"

[ lomedy tried to ignore the increasingly awkward air, pointing past squiddo to a bunch of chest boats next to his house ] over there. only issue is i dont have a happy ghast.. thats why ive been putting it off. but- deadlines hah.. i have some flowers i need to move too. its been a bit hard doing it all by myself though

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She looks over to where Lomedy pointed, bringing her hand up to grasp her chin to ponder. | "Oh- uhm. Hrm. Well what did you want to do first then? Go get a happy ghast or move flowers? Or is there a third thing that needs to be done as well?" | she chuckles just slightly to herself. |

i mean.. for a happy ghast id have to go to captial city... [ he squints in thought, trying to weigh if the effort to go on foot to capital city for a ghast would save time in the long run ] i dont have enough shulkers for the amount of pumpkins i need to move so.. do you want to come with me to get a ghast? its not like you have anything better to do [ they chuckle, making eye contact with squiddo again and smiling at her ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"What! I so most definitely have better things to do. But alas, I shall! Ever so graciously, help you get a ghast. Because I am so kind, and gracious, and kind, did I say that already?" | She smirks playfully back | "Are we gonna go on foot or horse? Or. Well- I have the coords to an ender pearl cannon I use to get near Capitol city if you want to take that?"

oh shit really? yes please i do not want to walk 100k blocks again

[ he fiddles with his axe, checking if his inventory was travel ready ]

but why do you have coords for something like that? i thought you lived out here

thereallyrealsquiddo

"Hm. Oh. Well, yeah I live out here but I still go back to the main server every now and then. Catch up with people. Plus I have coords to. Well. Everything ! Or used to, at the least. Now my book of coords is smaller but I still have a lot of things to note." | She hums slightly waiting for Lomedy to get ready. | "I know where one from capitol city to back out here is as well so we can be back quick."

hm. i guess that makes sense. you just never seemed like the adventuring type [ lomedy hums in contempt, exiting his inventory and throwing squiddo a golden apple ] lead the way captain squiddo

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She seems almost a little, puzzled, when he says she doesnt seem like the type. ... maybe it had been a while since she actually went out. | "I didnt? I like adventuring. Who doesnt? ... maybe we should go out together one day"

| She catches the golden apple with a smile adding it to her stack | "Aye Aye, Commander !" | she smirks and starts walking in the direction she knew the Canon was. | "We arent super far but it'll still be a little walk"

| After a few minuites of silent walking she decides to attempt to make conversation | "So! Have you met Redd before?"

hm?

[ he turned his head to face squiddo, still looking down at the floor to make sure he didnt trip over anything ]

oh! uhh.. no i dont think so. ive heard of him obviously, i used to have friends in capital city back when he was mayor.. but that was ages ago

[ they step over a log, accidentally placing a foot in mud and sighing heavily ]

why do you ask?

thereallyrealsquiddo

"I ask because- Well- You aren't ever going to believe this- but he's living in my house. I suppose one could call us roomates but I mean- he isn't like. Permanently there, well he is kind of. We haven't exactly talked about it. But he just. Lives in my house at the moment." | She chuckles just a little at lomedy's misfortune before walking straight into a tree branch. | "owww" | she rubs her nose grumpily saying a few Curses and hexes at said tree before walking around it. | "I also. Don't know when or if he's going to leave but I haven't bothered asking. I've liked the company. Plus he isn't half bad with Garlic Hamster and he's decent enough in the garden to help out.. Gasp ! You two should meet up, Im sure you'd... . Okay. Maybe you wouldn't get along... swimmingly but you could tolerate each other ! I'm sure of it."

[ lomedy felt a pang of almost... betrayal? no time for that, shes here and safe now and thats what matters ]

ohh-! yeah sure, i mean.. meeting up with people you trust has never gone bad for me

[ they cringed a tiny bit at the immature comment, stepping around a stump and rubbing his cheek to break eye contact with squiddo ]

as long as garlic hamsters happy!

thereallyrealsquiddo

| Squiddo freezes for a second at his words, some form of confusion and hurt flashing on her face, she looks away to the side not able to immediately bring her smile back. | "I. Didnt. I. That." | She felt quesy. |

".. yeah. Garlic Hamster is happy. He seems happy." | She let's out a small breath, avoiding eye contact as well. Just move on. | "so uhm. Hows. Boosfer and. Spongs? did you say? You mentioned them earlier. What are they like? Are you all close? I know you said they were weird or something along those lines, but that cant be all you have to say about them !"

ohhh.. uhh.. i havent actually seen them around in a while. spongs came by for a bit to help flame with stuff but that was the last i saw of him. guess were just all doing our own things.. going off on our own.. [ lomedy side eyes squiddo a bit before looking out into the horizon, sheilding his eyes in the noon suns glare and squinting ] wait is that the canon?

thereallyrealsquiddo

"I uhm-" | She glances at the spot he was looking | "Ah! Yes ! Yes it is. Yay ! We're here-" | Thank the gods- | "you have an end pearl on you?" | she hums as she somewhat half skips half speed walks to the Canon. | "if not, I have some spares I dont mind you using."

| As she gets to the Canon she checks it over to make sure everything was in order.. although she. Doesn't really know what exactly its supposed to look like.. Ash usually did that. | "it looks all good to use! Im pretty sure anyway."

[ lomedy lets out a sigh of relief. for a farmer he really didnt like walking much ]

uh yeah i always keep a handful of them on me

[ he digs through his back pocket and pulls out a pearl, following squiddo up the makeshift path ]

who even builds something like this out here? what would you need out near the farlands of all places?

[ they look out into the horizon as they climb the small mountain. maybe some sight seer of some sort. there was some pretty terrain generation if you had high enough render distance ]

[ the duo walks up to the underside, the curious array of glass panes and anvils inviting them to throw a pearl up into the mouth of the machine ]

what if is sends me to a huge prison and youve been tricking me this whole time pfft

[ lomedy jokes, chuckling slightly under his breath as he rubs his thumb over the smooth surface of the pearl ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"Hm? oh, well, 4C built it for us- me. Its so I could travel easily to and from the farlands. I mean, my homes out here, y'know and Ive never been one for walking. . Well, no, thats a lie, I quiet like walking just not millions of blocks walking." | She hums, grabbing an ender pearl from one of her bundles and moving to where it gets thrown. | "hah! What would I possibly get out of putting you in prison? You've not done anything evil. And, anyhow, even if you were evil Id still be your friend. Everyone's a tad evil, can't avoid it." | she throws the pearl and the machine springs to life. | "okay so you just throw it like that, okay? I'll see you in a bit!"

| And then she disappears leaving only a few purple particles that disintegrate in the wind. |

I think the take, "uu!Lomedy has been so adamantly against killing in the past, so it's weird for him to be so on board with Cindercrest" ignores a lot about him as a character. Sure, he's highly in favor of peaceful solutions, but:

Even back during the toxic war arc he would participate in and encourage violence if he believed it was necessary or justified. He was excited after getting the final hit on someone. When Flame first started using his base and wouldn't leave, he said, "Makes me wonder if I should use that thing," in reference to his mace.

He's also quite supportive of revenge (griefing Spongs's farm in retribution and encouraging Flame to "get his get back" after losing to Wemmbu) and punitive justice (insisting on serving his full sentence in Law prison and suggesting Flame do the same when that was still an option).

He can be very prideful and impulsive. He wore leather armor for the Farm War out of pride in upholding the code he had set for himself. He wants to be the best at things. For all his talk about how reckless love of combat got his old teammate killed, he rushed after Arachnid's group when they were fleeing in the Mist.

All that together makes it reasonable that Lomedy would at least hear Cindercrest out. I think a more fun way to approach his decision to join them is to think about what led him to support large-scale violence in a way he hasn't before. However, this is where my analysis kind of falls short, because the only perspective I've watched of the Kingdoms Arc is Flame's, so I don't know a lot about how Cindercrest has been presenting themselves to the wider server.

#❁ mod speaks

| She thinks she spent far to long watching his farm from her spot on a distant hill. It was… jarring, she supposes. It had been so long since she'd seen anyone, yet alone Lomedy. What could she even say? Sorry for not responding to your note I was stuck trapped in void? No that wouldn't work, she couldn't say. She didn't want to explain, she just wanted to push past it all. Just wanted to forget. |

“Okay just. Just talk to him. Its okay. Its fine.” | And so she forces herself to walk, nails picking at her hands and teeth digging into the inside of her cheek. It'll be fine. Its not like they weren't friends, they just had a small falling out. |

“I- Lomedy!” | She calls out to the farmer in the field, waving awkwardly. |

- @thereallyrealsquiddo

[ itd been weeks since lomedy interacted with anyone, and longer since he saw squiddo. their fight.. was it even a fight? squiddo didnt seem like she wanted lomedy to stay, letting him walk away and close his door. then it was silence for weeks. he went to her base a couple times, it was empty and decaying by the day. he just guessed she moved.. away.. maybe with someone else. but if she was happy that was all lomedy could ask for ]

[ he did attempt to make contact, leaving a note and his favorite flowers at her door. but they were never touched. they gave up after a while.. moving on.. best he could at least.. ]

oh my god arent you just the sweetest thing..

[ a baby pig oinked happily under lomedy, scratching its head on their leg ]

what should i name y--

[ dread. instant dread hit him. he didnt know what to do. which was funny because hed replayed this moment in his head hundreds of times. did he imagine it? wouldnt be the first time he heard voices.. ]

[ turning to the sound, he spotted an unfortunately familiar bright orange blob in the distance, waving at him. all he could do is stare at her ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She feels somewhat out of place in the fields as she makes her way towards him... the way he was looking at her, like she was a ghost. It hurt more than she'd like to admit. |

| As she gets close she slows down, and unsure what to say she doesn't speak. So she stands just a few steps away from him, eyes darting from his face to the ground than back to him before she looks off to the side before she forces any words out of her lips. | "I- uhm- Hi... Hi Lomedy... long time no see?" | she offers a small, unsure smile. |

what are you doing here

[ he accidentally spat it out. there were too many emotions for him to default to, and anger seemed to be the easiest. so many questions ran through his head; "where were you!?", "are you ok?", "wheres ashswag.", "why here?", "why now?" ]

[ he looked down at the carrot in his hand, picked off a dirty part of it and threw it to his side, a baby pig running after it. looking back at squiddo, they scanned her up and down, as if trying to find the girl he became friends with. he saw her, but he also saw someone else. a changed player under those familiar glasses. something had happened. although.. lomedy didnt know if he wanted to know ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

| Her smile drops for just a second, a look of hurt on her face, and she shifts back on her feet | "I-" | she wills herself not to crack at his tone. | "I got your note and your flower, I just- I just saw them, I wanted to say thank you. I havent had time to come by before and- well- I havent been to my home in a while, but im here now!" | Theres a moment of silence and she forces herself to smile, adjusting her glasses. | "how... how have you been?"

good. ive been good.. nothing very interestings happened... parrots king.. met back up with flame for a bit...

[ lomedy shifts their weight on their other hip, still cautious of her. he wasnt 100% convinced that she was even here ]

wait you just saw them..? what? squiddo, where have you been?

thereallyrealsquiddo

"Oh Well at least it's been peaceful...?" | She swallows at his question, looking away and chuckling awkwardly. She takes an unsure step back, hands working away at some threat on her sweater. | "I- Yeah- Ive been away for a while. Sorry." | She Chews on her lip, eyes still locked on anything but him | "Ive just been gone- I- Its- yeah. Gone. Im sorry, again. I wish I could have told you that Id be missing"

squiddo.. people dont just go missing. i-- ... thought.. i thought you were-

[ lomedys expression softens as he stares at squiddos face, wanting to just jump out and hug her. one of his only friends on the server.. someone who unknowingly got him through so much ]

... hows garlic hamster?

thereallyrealsquiddo

| He didn't need to continue, she knew what he was going to say. She cringes, body tensing. | "I- ... He's good. I'm lucky he didn't run away or get hurt. His fur was a bit matted but I spent some time brushing it out and washing him. And gave him some nicer food than what he was eating." | A softer smile finds its way on her face at talking about her beloved pet. | "how is your farm doing? It looks really nice. Well- it always looked nice but it looks even better now."

[ a pang of guilt washed over lomedy at the idea of garlic hamster going unkept. maybe if he took him in? would thatve been the right call? they looked around at their farm, the wheat fields bigger then squiddo wouldve last seen ]

ever since the LAW disbanded ive been a lot more free.. parrot asks for wheat a lot so ive started farming it more. hired builders too so the buildings look a bit nicer heh..

[ he fiddles with his sleeve awkwardly, stareing at squiddo, trying to decipher her ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"LAW disbanded?... Parrot's king??" | She mumbles half questioning to herself, eyebrows furrowing slightly. Gosh she must have missed so much. It felt a bit overwhelming. Beat not to focus on that though! | "I'm glad everything's getting better for you!" | she smiles, meeting his eyes again. | "it looks great, really! I mean- heh- I couldda built better, but yknow, Ill let these amateur builders help you out I suppose." | She chuckles softly to herself, admiring the buildings around her. It was pretty, it's a shame she didn't get to help. She would have loved to help. |

[ lomedy gave a smile to squiddo, but thats smile didnt fully meet his eyes. did she not realize how worried everyones been? how long shes been absent? all of the master builders had no clue where she went. he almost went and asked spoke and mappic what happened, as if theyd have an inkling ]

yeah.. catching up with flame and rekindling with my farmer friends been nice... even made friends? acquaintances? with boosfer and spongs.. been weird honestly

[ it was killing them not knowing what happened to squiddo, how to help, how to show that hes there for her. he could tell something was wrong. he absent mindedly pulled at his sleeve, thinking of what to offer ]

i have a few chores i still need to do while the suns up.. so...

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She tries to ignore the half hearted smile he gives her in return, to ignore the way he was looking at her as if she was in need of help, as if something was wrong. | "Oh Im happy for you, that sounds lovely!" | She wishes she had been there for it. Wishes she could have been moving on with her life as well. | "chores? I mean- I could help? I don't have anything better to do other than clean up my own base but that can wait!"

well i have a bunch of pumpkins that need to be put in chest boats to take to merchant city.. and i havent fed my puddle slime in a bit but it seems happy enough. what do you want to do?

[ this whole situation felt so weird. he knew squiddo wasnt the best at talking about her feelings, but they were past that werent they? was that fight really a fight? he tried to apologize but she was the one who didnt answer.. was it him? was he overthinking this? did she just need space? ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"I- yeah I can help with that! Im sure we can make quick work of pumpkins, it'll be lickity split." | She places her hands on her hips | "Oh puddle slime, yeah my slimes. I- Dont really know where they've gotten too if Im honest. I hope they're okay." | she clears her throat. God this was awkward. She needed to push past this. Make everything go back to normal. She just wanted everything to be normal again. | "So- ! Where are these pumpkins we're loading?"

[ lomedy tried to ignore the increasingly awkward air, pointing past squiddo to a bunch of chest boats next to his house ] over there. only issue is i dont have a happy ghast.. thats why ive been putting it off. but- deadlines hah.. i have some flowers i need to move too. its been a bit hard doing it all by myself though

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She looks over to where Lomedy pointed, bringing her hand up to grasp her chin to ponder. | "Oh- uhm. Hrm. Well what did you want to do first then? Go get a happy ghast or move flowers? Or is there a third thing that needs to be done as well?" | she chuckles just slightly to herself. |

i mean.. for a happy ghast id have to go to captial city... [ he squints in thought, trying to weigh if the effort to go on foot to capital city for a ghast would save time in the long run ] i dont have enough shulkers for the amount of pumpkins i need to move so.. do you want to come with me to get a ghast? its not like you have anything better to do [ they chuckle, making eye contact with squiddo again and smiling at her ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"What! I so most definitely have better things to do. But alas, I shall! Ever so graciously, help you get a ghast. Because I am so kind, and gracious, and kind, did I say that already?" | She smirks playfully back | "Are we gonna go on foot or horse? Or. Well- I have the coords to an ender pearl cannon I use to get near Capitol city if you want to take that?"

oh shit really? yes please i do not want to walk 100k blocks again

[ he fiddles with his axe, checking if his inventory was travel ready ]

but why do you have coords for something like that? i thought you lived out here

thereallyrealsquiddo

"Hm. Oh. Well, yeah I live out here but I still go back to the main server every now and then. Catch up with people. Plus I have coords to. Well. Everything ! Or used to, at the least. Now my book of coords is smaller but I still have a lot of things to note." | She hums slightly waiting for Lomedy to get ready. | "I know where one from capitol city to back out here is as well so we can be back quick."

hm. i guess that makes sense. you just never seemed like the adventuring type [ lomedy hums in contempt, exiting his inventory and throwing squiddo a golden apple ] lead the way captain squiddo

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She seems almost a little, puzzled, when he says she doesnt seem like the type. ... maybe it had been a while since she actually went out. | "I didnt? I like adventuring. Who doesnt? ... maybe we should go out together one day"

| She catches the golden apple with a smile adding it to her stack | "Aye Aye, Commander !" | she smirks and starts walking in the direction she knew the Canon was. | "We arent super far but it'll still be a little walk"

| After a few minuites of silent walking she decides to attempt to make conversation | "So! Have you met Redd before?"

hm?

[ he turned his head to face squiddo, still looking down at the floor to make sure he didnt trip over anything ]

oh! uhh.. no i dont think so. ive heard of him obviously, i used to have friends in capital city back when he was mayor.. but that was ages ago

[ they step over a log, accidentally placing a foot in mud and sighing heavily ]

why do you ask?

thereallyrealsquiddo

"I ask because- Well- You aren't ever going to believe this- but he's living in my house. I suppose one could call us roomates but I mean- he isn't like. Permanently there, well he is kind of. We haven't exactly talked about it. But he just. Lives in my house at the moment." | She chuckles just a little at lomedy's misfortune before walking straight into a tree branch. | "owww" | she rubs her nose grumpily saying a few Curses and hexes at said tree before walking around it. | "I also. Don't know when or if he's going to leave but I haven't bothered asking. I've liked the company. Plus he isn't half bad with Garlic Hamster and he's decent enough in the garden to help out.. Gasp ! You two should meet up, Im sure you'd... . Okay. Maybe you wouldn't get along... swimmingly but you could tolerate each other ! I'm sure of it."

[ lomedy felt a pang of almost... betrayal? no time for that, shes here and safe now and thats what matters ]

ohh-! yeah sure, i mean.. meeting up with people you trust has never gone bad for me

[ they cringed a tiny bit at the immature comment, stepping around a stump and rubbing his cheek to break eye contact with squiddo ]

as long as garlic hamsters happy!

thereallyrealsquiddo

| Squiddo freezes for a second at his words, some form of confusion and hurt flashing on her face, she looks away to the side not able to immediately bring her smile back. | "I. Didnt. I. That." | She felt quesy. |

".. yeah. Garlic Hamster is happy. He seems happy." | She let's out a small breath, avoiding eye contact as well. Just move on. | "so uhm. Hows. Boosfer and. Spongs? did you say? You mentioned them earlier. What are they like? Are you all close? I know you said they were weird or something along those lines, but that cant be all you have to say about them !"

ohhh.. uhh.. i havent actually seen them around in a while. spongs came by for a bit to help flame with stuff but that was the last i saw of him. guess were just all doing our own things.. going off on our own.. [ lomedy side eyes squiddo a bit before looking out into the horizon, sheilding his eyes in the noon suns glare and squinting ] wait is that the canon?

So she stands just a few steps away from him, eyes darting from his face to the ground than back to him before she looks off to the side before she forces any words out of her lips. | "I- uhm- Hi... Hi Lomedy... long time no see?" | she offers a small, unsure smile. |

what are you doing here

[ he accidentally spat it out. there were too many emotions for him to default to, and anger seemed to be the easiest. so many questions ran through his head; "where were you!?", "are you ok?", "wheres ashswag.", "why here?", "why now?" ]

[ he looked down at the carrot in his hand, picked off a dirty part of it and threw it to his side, a baby pig running after it. looking back at squiddo, they scanned her up and down, as if trying to find the girl he became friends with. he saw her, but he also saw someone else. a changed player under those familiar glasses. something had happened. although.. lomedy didnt know if he wanted to know ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

| Her smile drops for just a second, a look of hurt on her face, and she shifts back on her feet | "I-" | she wills herself not to crack at his tone. | "I got your note and your flower, I just- I just saw them, I wanted to say thank you. I havent had time to come by before and- well- I havent been to my home in a while, but im here now!" | Theres a moment of silence and she forces herself to smile, adjusting her glasses. | "how... how have you been?"

good. ive been good.. nothing very interestings happened... parrots king.. met back up with flame for a bit...

[ lomedy shifts their weight on their other hip, still cautious of her. he wasnt 100% convinced that she was even here ]

wait you just saw them..? what? squiddo, where have you been?

thereallyrealsquiddo

"Oh Well at least it's been peaceful...?" | She swallows at his question, looking away and chuckling awkwardly. She takes an unsure step back, hands working away at some threat on her sweater. | "I- Yeah- Ive been away for a while. Sorry." | She Chews on her lip, eyes still locked on anything but him | "Ive just been gone- I- Its- yeah. Gone. Im sorry, again. I wish I could have told you that Id be missing"

squiddo.. people dont just go missing. i-- ... thought.. i thought you were-

[ lomedys expression softens as he stares at squiddos face, wanting to just jump out and hug her. one of his only friends on the server.. someone who unknowingly got him through so much ]

... hows garlic hamster?

thereallyrealsquiddo

| He didn't need to continue, she knew what he was going to say. She cringes, body tensing. | "I- ... He's good. I'm lucky he didn't run away or get hurt. His fur was a bit matted but I spent some time brushing it out and washing him. And gave him some nicer food than what he was eating." | A softer smile finds its way on her face at talking about her beloved pet. | "how is your farm doing? It looks really nice. Well- it always looked nice but it looks even better now."

[ a pang of guilt washed over lomedy at the idea of garlic hamster going unkept. maybe if he took him in? would thatve been the right call? they looked around at their farm, the wheat fields bigger then squiddo wouldve last seen ]

ever since the LAW disbanded ive been a lot more free.. parrot asks for wheat a lot so ive started farming it more. hired builders too so the buildings look a bit nicer heh..

[ he fiddles with his sleeve awkwardly, stareing at squiddo, trying to decipher her ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"LAW disbanded?... Parrot's king??" | She mumbles half questioning to herself, eyebrows furrowing slightly. Gosh she must have missed so much. It felt a bit overwhelming. Beat not to focus on that though! | "I'm glad everything's getting better for you!" | she smiles, meeting his eyes again. | "it looks great, really! I mean- heh- I couldda built better, but yknow, Ill let these amateur builders help you out I suppose." | She chuckles softly to herself, admiring the buildings around her. It was pretty, it's a shame she didn't get to help. She would have loved to help. |

[ lomedy gave a smile to squiddo, but thats smile didnt fully meet his eyes. did she not realize how worried everyones been? how long shes been absent? all of the master builders had no clue where she went. he almost went and asked spoke and mappic what happened, as if theyd have an inkling ]

yeah.. catching up with flame and rekindling with my farmer friends been nice... even made friends? acquaintances? with boosfer and spongs.. been weird honestly

[ it was killing them not knowing what happened to squiddo, how to help, how to show that hes there for her. he could tell something was wrong. he absent mindedly pulled at his sleeve, thinking of what to offer ]

i have a few chores i still need to do while the suns up.. so...

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She tries to ignore the half hearted smile he gives her in return, to ignore the way he was looking at her as if she was in need of help, as if something was wrong. | "Oh Im happy for you, that sounds lovely!" | She wishes she had been there for it. Wishes she could have been moving on with her life as well. | "chores? I mean- I could help? I don't have anything better to do other than clean up my own base but that can wait!"

well i have a bunch of pumpkins that need to be put in chest boats to take to merchant city.. and i havent fed my puddle slime in a bit but it seems happy enough. what do you want to do?

[ this whole situation felt so weird. he knew squiddo wasnt the best at talking about her feelings, but they were past that werent they? was that fight really a fight? he tried to apologize but she was the one who didnt answer.. was it him? was he overthinking this? did she just need space? ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"I- yeah I can help with that! Im sure we can make quick work of pumpkins, it'll be lickity split." | She places her hands on her hips | "Oh puddle slime, yeah my slimes. I- Dont really know where they've gotten too if Im honest. I hope they're okay." | she clears her throat. God this was awkward. She needed to push past this. Make everything go back to normal. She just wanted everything to be normal again. | "So- ! Where are these pumpkins we're loading?"

[ lomedy tried to ignore the increasingly awkward air, pointing past squiddo to a bunch of chest boats next to his house ] over there. only issue is i dont have a happy ghast.. thats why ive been putting it off. but- deadlines hah.. i have some flowers i need to move too. its been a bit hard doing it all by myself though

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She looks over to where Lomedy pointed, bringing her hand up to grasp her chin to ponder. | "Oh- uhm. Hrm. Well what did you want to do first then? Go get a happy ghast or move flowers? Or is there a third thing that needs to be done as well?" | she chuckles just slightly to herself. |

i mean.. for a happy ghast id have to go to captial city... [ he squints in thought, trying to weigh if the effort to go on foot to capital city for a ghast would save time in the long run ] i dont have enough shulkers for the amount of pumpkins i need to move so.. do you want to come with me to get a ghast? its not like you have anything better to do [ they chuckle, making eye contact with squiddo again and smiling at her ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"What! I so most definitely have better things to do. But alas, I shall! Ever so graciously, help you get a ghast. Because I am so kind, and gracious, and kind, did I say that already?" | She smirks playfully back | "Are we gonna go on foot or horse? Or. Well- I have the coords to an ender pearl cannon I use to get near Capitol city if you want to take that?"

oh shit really? yes please i do not want to walk 100k blocks again

[ he fiddles with his axe, checking if his inventory was travel ready ]

but why do you have coords for something like that? i thought you lived out here

thereallyrealsquiddo

"Hm. Oh. Well, yeah I live out here but I still go back to the main server every now and then. Catch up with people. Plus I have coords to. Well. Everything ! Or used to, at the least. Now my book of coords is smaller but I still have a lot of things to note." | She hums slightly waiting for Lomedy to get ready. | "I know where one from capitol city to back out here is as well so we can be back quick."

hm. i guess that makes sense. you just never seemed like the adventuring type [ lomedy hums in contempt, exiting his inventory and throwing squiddo a golden apple ] lead the way captain squiddo

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She seems almost a little, puzzled, when he says she doesnt seem like the type. ... maybe it had been a while since she actually went out. | "I didnt? I like adventuring. Who doesnt? ... maybe we should go out together one day"

| She catches the golden apple with a smile adding it to her stack | "Aye Aye, Commander !" | she smirks and starts walking in the direction she knew the Canon was. | "We arent super far but it'll still be a little walk"

| After a few minuites of silent walking she decides to attempt to make conversation | "So! Have you met Redd before?"

hm?

[ he turned his head to face squiddo, still looking down at the floor to make sure he didnt trip over anything ]

oh! uhh.. no i dont think so. ive heard of him obviously, i used to have friends in capital city back when he was mayor.. but that was ages ago

[ they step over a log, accidentally placing a foot in mud and sighing heavily ]

why do you ask?

#❁ lomedy speaks #thereallyrealsquiddo

| She thinks she spent far to long watching his farm from her spot on a distant hill. It was… jarring, she supposes. It had been so long since she'd seen anyone, yet alone Lomedy. What could she even say? Sorry for not responding to your note I was stuck trapped in void? No that wouldn't work, she couldn't say. She didn't want to explain, she just wanted to push past it all. Just wanted to forget. |

“Okay just. Just talk to him. Its okay. Its fine.” | And so she forces herself to walk, nails picking at her hands and teeth digging into the inside of her cheek. It'll be fine. Its not like they weren't friends, they just had a small falling out. |

“I- Lomedy!” | She calls out to the farmer in the field, waving awkwardly. |

- @thereallyrealsquiddo

[ itd been weeks since lomedy interacted with anyone, and longer since he saw squiddo. their fight.. was it even a fight? squiddo didnt seem like she wanted lomedy to stay, letting him walk away and close his door. then it was silence for weeks. he went to her base a couple times, it was empty and decaying by the day. he just guessed she moved.. away.. maybe with someone else. but if she was happy that was all lomedy could ask for ]

[ he did attempt to make contact, leaving a note and his favorite flowers at her door. but they were never touched. they gave up after a while.. moving on.. best he could at least.. ]

oh my god arent you just the sweetest thing..

[ a baby pig oinked happily under lomedy, scratching its head on their leg ]

what should i name y--

[ dread. instant dread hit him. he didnt know what to do. which was funny because hed replayed this moment in his head hundreds of times. did he imagine it? wouldnt be the first time he heard voices.. ]

[ he did attempt to make contact, leaving a note and his favorite flowers at her door. but they were never touched. they gave up after a while.. moving on.. best he could at least.. ]

oh my god arent you just the sweetest thing..

[ a baby pig oinked happily under lomedy, scratching its head on their leg ]

what should i name y--

[ dread. instant dread hit him. he didnt know what to do. which was funny because hed replayed this moment in his head hundreds of times. did he imagine it? wouldnt be the first time he heard voices.. ]

[ turning to the sound, he spotted an unfortunately familiar bright orange blob in the distance, waving at him. all he could do is stare at her ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She feels somewhat out of place in the fields as she makes her way towards him... the way he was looking at her, like she was a ghost. It hurt more than she'd like to admit. |

| As she gets close she slows down, and unsure what to say she doesn't speak. So she stands just a few steps away from him, eyes darting from his face to the ground than back to him before she looks off to the side before she forces any words out of her lips. | "I- uhm- Hi... Hi Lomedy... long time no see?" | she offers a small, unsure smile. |

what are you doing here

[ he accidentally spat it out. there were too many emotions for him to default to, and anger seemed to be the easiest. so many questions ran through his head; "where were you!?", "are you ok?", "wheres ashswag.", "why here?", "why now?" ]

[ he looked down at the carrot in his hand, picked off a dirty part of it and threw it to his side, a baby pig running after it. looking back at squiddo, they scanned her up and down, as if trying to find the girl he became friends with. he saw her, but he also saw someone else. a changed player under those familiar glasses. something had happened. although.. lomedy didnt know if he wanted to know ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

| Her smile drops for just a second, a look of hurt on her face, and she shifts back on her feet | "I-" | she wills herself not to crack at his tone. | "I got your note and your flower, I just- I just saw them, I wanted to say thank you. I havent had time to come by before and- well- I havent been to my home in a while, but im here now!" | Theres a moment of silence and she forces herself to smile, adjusting her glasses. | "how... how have you been?"

good. ive been good.. nothing very interestings happened... parrots king.. met back up with flame for a bit...

[ lomedy shifts their weight on their other hip, still cautious of her. he wasnt 100% convinced that she was even here ]

wait you just saw them..? what? squiddo, where have you been?

thereallyrealsquiddo

"Oh Well at least it's been peaceful...?" | She swallows at his question, looking away and chuckling awkwardly. She takes an unsure step back, hands working away at some threat on her sweater. | "I- Yeah- Ive been away for a while. Sorry." | She Chews on her lip, eyes still locked on anything but him | "Ive just been gone- I- Its- yeah. Gone. Im sorry, again. I wish I could have told you that Id be missing"

squiddo.. people dont just go missing. i-- ... thought.. i thought you were-

[ lomedys expression softens as he stares at squiddos face, wanting to just jump out and hug her. one of his only friends on the server.. someone who unknowingly got him through so much ]

... hows garlic hamster?

thereallyrealsquiddo

| He didn't need to continue, she knew what he was going to say. She cringes, body tensing. | "I- ... He's good. I'm lucky he didn't run away or get hurt. His fur was a bit matted but I spent some time brushing it out and washing him. And gave him some nicer food than what he was eating." | A softer smile finds its way on her face at talking about her beloved pet. | "how is your farm doing? It looks really nice. Well- it always looked nice but it looks even better now."

[ a pang of guilt washed over lomedy at the idea of garlic hamster going unkept. maybe if he took him in? would thatve been the right call? they looked around at their farm, the wheat fields bigger then squiddo wouldve last seen ]

ever since the LAW disbanded ive been a lot more free.. parrot asks for wheat a lot so ive started farming it more. hired builders too so the buildings look a bit nicer heh..

[ he fiddles with his sleeve awkwardly, stareing at squiddo, trying to decipher her ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"LAW disbanded?... Parrot's king??" | She mumbles half questioning to herself, eyebrows furrowing slightly. Gosh she must have missed so much. It felt a bit overwhelming. Beat not to focus on that though! | "I'm glad everything's getting better for you!" | she smiles, meeting his eyes again. | "it looks great, really! I mean- heh- I couldda built better, but yknow, Ill let these amateur builders help you out I suppose." | She chuckles softly to herself, admiring the buildings around her. It was pretty, it's a shame she didn't get to help. She would have loved to help. |

[ lomedy gave a smile to squiddo, but thats smile didnt fully meet his eyes. did she not realize how worried everyones been? how long shes been absent? all of the master builders had no clue where she went. he almost went and asked spoke and mappic what happened, as if theyd have an inkling ]

yeah.. catching up with flame and rekindling with my farmer friends been nice... even made friends? acquaintances? with boosfer and spongs.. been weird honestly

[ it was killing them not knowing what happened to squiddo, how to help, how to show that hes there for her. he could tell something was wrong. he absent mindedly pulled at his sleeve, thinking of what to offer ]

i have a few chores i still need to do while the suns up.. so...

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She tries to ignore the half hearted smile he gives her in return, to ignore the way he was looking at her as if she was in need of help, as if something was wrong. | "Oh Im happy for you, that sounds lovely!" | She wishes she had been there for it. Wishes she could have been moving on with her life as well. | "chores? I mean- I could help? I don't have anything better to do other than clean up my own base but that can wait!"

well i have a bunch of pumpkins that need to be put in chest boats to take to merchant city.. and i havent fed my puddle slime in a bit but it seems happy enough. what do you want to do?

[ this whole situation felt so weird. he knew squiddo wasnt the best at talking about her feelings, but they were past that werent they? was that fight really a fight? he tried to apologize but she was the one who didnt answer.. was it him? was he overthinking this? did she just need space? ]

thereallyrealsquiddo

"I- yeah I can help with that! Im sure we can make quick work of pumpkins, it'll be lickity split." | She places her hands on her hips | "Oh puddle slime, yeah my slimes. I- Dont really know where they've gotten too if Im honest. I hope they're okay." | she clears her throat. God this was awkward. She needed to push past this. Make everything go back to normal. She just wanted everything to be normal again. | "So- ! Where are these pumpkins we're loading?"

[ lomedy tried to ignore the increasingly awkward air, pointing past squiddo to a bunch of chest boats next to his house ] over there. only issue is i dont have a happy ghast.. thats why ive been putting it off. but- deadlines hah.. i have some flowers i need to move too. its been a bit hard doing it all by myself though

thereallyrealsquiddo

| She looks over to where Lomedy pointed, bringing her hand up to grasp her chin to ponder. | "Oh- uhm. Hrm. Well what did you want to do first then? Go get a happy ghast or move flowers? Or is there a third thing that needs to be done as well?" | she chuckles just slightly to herself. |

i mean.. for a happy ghast id have to go to captial city... [ he squints in thought, trying to weigh if the effort to go on foot to capital city for a ghast would save time in the long run ] i dont have enough shulkers for the amount of pumpkins i need to move so.. do you want to come with me to get a ghast? its not like you have anything better to do [ they chuckle, making eye contact with squiddo again and smiling at her ]

#❁ lomedy speaks #thereallyrealsquiddo

| She thinks she spent far to long watching his farm from her spot on a distant hill. It was… jarring, she supposes. It had been so long since she'd seen anyone, yet alone Lomedy. What could she even say? Sorry for not responding to your note I was stuck trapped in void? No that wouldn't work, she couldn't say. She didn't want to explain, she just wanted to push past it all. Just wanted to forget. |

“Okay just. Just talk to him. Its okay. Its fine.” | And so she forces herself to walk, nails picking at her hands and teeth digging into the inside of her cheek. It'll be fine. Its not like they weren't friends, they just had a small falling out. |

“I- Lomedy!” | She calls out to the farmer in the field, waving awkwardly. |
