I wasn't trying to be foreboding. Just experienced with seeing things. - 🌑🗡

" That is also slightly concerning!!- Are you alright??- " " I almost feel like a bit of a whiner, in comparison. "

” Hey….This might be a weird question. Actually, it’s all kinda weird if I think about it enough- but from what you remember, if you even want to that is- did your Jesse ever have…hallucinations? Or weird slips of the mind? Maybe this is normal for me and I just, forgot, haha… “

-🗡️❓

> Hm.. Well...

> It's not hallucinations, but she.. she often did have nightmares. It was mostly about everything related to the Witherstorm: Gabriel's wither sickness, Petra's amnesia, Magnus' death, Reuben's death... She has told me about the nightmares, but I'm not sure if she has told anyone else.

> ...

> And for weird slips of the mind? Not.. Not from what I remember. This might not be a weird slip of the mind, but in Sky City, we came across some pigs and she didn't.. she didn't look too good. I'm not sure if you're from the past, future, or whatever timeline you're in right now...

> She also blames herself for some of the stuff that has happened from what I remember her telling me... I feel bad that I wasn't able to help her as much as I would want to...

> Sorry if this is a bit extra than from what you previously asked heheh...

> And uh.. Is your Jesse doing okay?

" Ah- I...see. "

" I haven't been sleeping much as of late so i really can't say anything about the nightmares. Although maybe thats just...me avoiding nightmares? In a weird way? I...recall having them in the past, but i havent had any memorable ones as of recently. "

" I have been...hearing things though. That's probably a really strange thing to say- But things are just...really off. Which is upsetting because im supposed to be having fun. Im out here adventuring with my best friend, going to all these cool different places. And yet, here i am with this uncomfortable feeling that something is going to go terribly wrong. "

" I honestly can't even remember when it started. It's like its always been there. Maybe im more messed up than i originally thought. But i'll persevere i think. I always do. "

" ...Eek. Sorry. Im probably rambling too much. It seems like you're going through quite the pickle yourself. Have you been doing alright? It seems like you've collected a lot of pets during your time here. Maybe one of these days our dogs could meet? "

> It's okay... I thought this was Petra for a second asking about Jesse- I guess the last part of your ask does make sense for it to be a Jesse instead... I'm kind of actually worried now.

> Me? I've been doing.. I've been doing okay. Wish it was better, but I'm okay for right now and yeah.. you're right. Got three cats and one dog.. It would be fun for our two dogs to meet.

> What's your dog name by the way? Mine's Echo.. In case you didn't already know that haha-

[what-makes-a-hero]

” He’s not really my dog- or well…it’s a shared custody thing, he’s more Petra’s dog though. His name is Edgar. He’s pretty cute, but he nearly tore one of my boots to shreds the night after we found him. I’m letting it slide though because Petra seems to really like him, heh. “

“ And I like the name Echo! What a strange coincidence that both of our dogs have a name that starts with an E. I Anything can happen though, I suppose. :) “

“ Oh, also! I wanted to mention that I’ve been trying to start journaling more often, but to be honest it’s more like drabbles at this moment in time. I know you used to be really into that stuff, or…I still think you are. So I was wondering if you’d be able to give me any tips? Like…what did you usually write about? “

-🗡️❓

[the-framed-one]

> Edgar...? I really like that name! It really seems like.. a dog name if you know what I mean. I'm also glad Petra was able to find a small companion, I felt like she really needed one to fit more of her energy.

> And.. heh.. yeah.. It really is convenient that our dogs both start with "E", huh? Didn't expect that, pretty cool if I'm going to be honest.

> Alright- For your question about journaling, I recently just got into it actually. Right now, I'm writing about past events like the Witherstorm, Sky City, and everything that unfolded here at the mansion... I wasn't able to see everything that went down since I got kicked out, which is kind of a bummer....

> Since I don't think I'm going to be publishing this out for everyone to read [maybe I'll let my friends read it once they get back], I decided to put it all in my point of view, kind of opinionating it so it doesn't feel all too objective y'know? I'm pretty sure there are some books out there that takes place in the point of view of the author, so maybe if I get the chance, I could publish this.. Hm.. Another reason why I made it opinionated is that if I ever feel lonely here, I can just re-read it and feel like I'm experiencing it all over again with the people I care about!

> ...

> Um...

> Oh! After I'm done writing about events that already happened, I've been wanting to either start writing a fantasy, adventure, or a mystery novel! History is more of my type and I would write more of it, but I don't know what else I could write about... I could get a book and write about how I feel about my friends, but other than that.. I got nothing other than starting a completely new story.

> Ah- Sorry for talking so much, but I hope my experience and opinion with writing helps you out a bit...

[what-makes-a-hero]

" Ah...so it'd be like, an epic biography of sorts? Nice! I'd definitely give it a read once it's finished. I just hope i don't look...too too bad in this recollection of events. Or the equivalent to me in your world, anyway. Heh. " " Or...actually- The other version of me was kind of bad, considering the circumstances- But i probably shouldn't impose. " " And i say go for it! We need more variety in terms of books and authors in this world. As of recently it seems like I've been finding this one author a lot, in some really strange places. I can't remember his name, but people all around seem to collect his books. Maybe it's because they lack any other options, hehe. "

" Also, don't worry about it. I appreciate the help. :)"

" This morning was a bit rough. I had hardly slept a wink until the sun came up, and of course, conveniently, my body finally decided to crash right before we were supposed to be getting ready to leave, great. " " Petra keeps looking at me with this weird look on her face. It's making me really uncomfortable. Maybe it's the fact that i look like im about to keel over at any given moment. Or maybe it's because there's something wrong with my eyes- " " Something is terribly wrong. And it's getting worse. But i still *really* don't want her to know about it. We're supposed to be adventuring and having fun and whatnot, this was what we wanted- and yet, here i am. Being the biggest downer of the century because what. I can't handle the pressures of long-term travel? " " Im stronger than this. I swear. I just need to push through it. Eventually things will be alright. It'll pass. " " I hope. "

[what-makes-a-hero]

Sounds like you're in a tough spot. I'd say with what you're experiencing, uh.. try not to follow the things you hear. Especially not if your Petra isn't awake to let you know it's not real.

-🌑🗡

" That's...a bit foreboding. But thank you. " " This doesn't normally happen. So I suppose i didn't really think much of it. To be honest i almost wish it had been just some dumb zombie mulling about instead. Probably should've been more careful regardless though, haha... "

” I’m losing it. Just a little. I was just trying to fall asleep but then I heard…whispering. Something was calling me. In the woods. I really shouldn’t have been awake, actually. I don’t know why but again, I just…could not sleep. “

“ But…it kept saying things. I couldn’t make them out though- So…seeing that Petra was currently asleep at that time… I decided to gear up and follow it. It wasn’t like anything bad could happen…I’m pretty loaded when it comes to weapons and armor. “

“ So I went out with a torch and my sword to find the voice. But no matter how far into the woods I went. I just couldn’t find the culprit. “

“ Until a horde of zombies and skeletons started piling in. Great. I am not that good at combat- maybe flashy weapons weren’t the way to go. I tried to hold them off, but there were just *so many of them*. There has to be a monster spawned out there somewhere. “

“ …For a brief moment I was…terrified. Me and my best friend were both in danger at this point, and she wasn’t even aware of it- I thought I could hold them off, but they were just too much- They were all closing in on me- “

“ …and then they all died. “

“ I…I don’t understand it. One second they were there, and I was about to get pummeled alive by an army of dead ugly things- and the next they just…aren’t there. They poofed!! Literally!! “

“ Maybe I’m hallucinating- but it felt real- I saw it with my own eyes. Then again, I haven’t gotten a solid 5 hours of sleep in ages. Exhaustion just hasn’t come to me yet- I’m almost envious of my friend. She…. “

“ …I’m going to try sleeping again. I’ll probably be fine. “

[what-makes-a-hero]

” OKAY SO…CRAZY STORY. We get to the Taiga biome and we wander around for a while. It’s kind of cold there, probably should’ve went in better dressed. But that’s not the point. We unfortunately didn’t find any wolves to tame, and Petra was a bit glum about it. (Which was really awful, I hate when my friends are upset.) “ ” I tried to lighten the mood by saying, there are plenty of dogs in the sea! Like uh…The saying about fish. Petra didn’t really find that funny, but before I could mull over my own stupidity, we heard a yelp. And lo and behold, in a pond a few blocks away is a puppy. Poor thing was soaked to the bone. “ “ We decided to keep him, and we named him Edgar. But I can’t be the only one that finds this weird though, right?? The puppy kind of just… popped in out of nowhere. I know some things just spawn into this world at random sometimes, but it can’t just be a coincidence that we were just… there to conveniently witness it, especially after …that really awful joke. “

[what-makes-a-hero]

Are you like.. good? - 🌑🗡️

” I think so! To be honest I should really be far more tired than I am right now. As I have stated before, I didn’t get too much sleep last night. “

“ Things just feel really…weird though. Like there’s something terribly wrong, but I can’t see it or put a finger on it. It’s driving me a bit bonkers, actually…. “ ” I’m sure I’ll figure it out eventually though. I always do. “

[what-makes-a-hero]

“ Me and Petra are back on the road again, heading to a Taiga biome it seems. She said she wants to try and find a dog in the wild to tame. She has far too many bones to spare from that one lady. What was her name again? Stacy? “ ” Either way. I’m kind of scared of dogs, but if it makes her happy, then why not? And besides, it’ll be handy to have a dog around. They are fiercely loyal and protective. I think that’s the kind of companion you’d want on an adventure like this. I haven’t really had a pet since … Lluna, though. So it’ll definitely be a bit strange. “ ” Petra says I’m acting a bit weird today. But honestly I’m probably just tired, I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night, it really sucked. “ ” I went out to get water earlier today and when I stopped by the riverbank I was a bit…spooked. I feel like there’s something wrong with my eyes, they don’t look right. Have they always been this dark? “ ” I’m being silly, maybe even a bit paranoid- but something doesn’t feel right. “

[what-makes-a-hero]

" Hey!! Jesse here!! " " After everything that happened with the Admin and his defeat, I have sort of decided to settle down a bit...emphasis on the sort of part. As of recently I've been traveling with Petra to a bunch of new places, and it's been really fun thus far! I've also decided that I'm going to start writing down the things we find and learn about on our journey, in this journal. I've never been one for journaling. That's more of a...Lukas thing. But i figured it was worth a shot. " " We just got back from The End. Someone found a new way to access it a while back, since Soren's portal was destroyed after the flood. We found this giant old city and these cool wings. Petra says they're called Elytra. I've never heard of them before, but they are definitely fun to mess with. I wonder what would happen if you wore them and set off something like a firework, or a bomb in mid air? " " Either way ... I've been enjoying myself these past few weeks. But something still feels off. I know, it could just be post-adventure jitters. Running around in The End was pretty spooky. But... " " I don't know. It's silly, really. I'll probably be fine. " " I kind of have to be, don't i? " " Anywho, it’s getting late and I'm pooped. We have so much more walking to do tomorrow... Until next time. "

ASKS ARE CURRENTLY : OPEN

-- OOC : -- HEYYY!! I made this AU blog on a whim so uh...please bear with me here. Before you keep on truckin, please consider reading the TW list below, since this plot is going to get kind of dark. If you are triggered by topics such as : Derealization/Depersonalization, Loss, Paranoia, Surrealism, Delusions, Mental Deterioration, or Memory Loss.

Please consider turning back and getting a drink of water!

If this isn't the case for you, then...keep on truckin i guess heheheh...

____________________________________________________________

SO. This AU starts after S2. Xara and Romeo are gone, and Jesse has decided to go adventuring with Petra. (This is red-hairclip Jesse for reference.) Things are all fine and dandy now. She's having a good time. Exploring the world with a friend at her side, just like the old days. But something still feels wrong. She rarely feels hunger or pain anymore. Mobs seem to get knocked out with one hit, and even the hardest blocks seem to break with ease. This isn't normal. Right? Right... No one else has noticed yet, thankfully. Maybe it's better if she just keeps it to herself. In the meantime though, she has been writing her findings down in her journal (A.K.A this blog!) in an attempt to keep herself more organized. Things seem to slip past her mind much more easily than they used to. It’s a bit disorienting, but writing it down helps.

Now you might be wondering. Where do you come in? While this askblog is mostly going to be following a set path. Your words matter, and will affect the way things go going forward! Feel free to come up with theories, ask questions, or just do whatever (within reason)!

——————————————————————

! Brief Rules !

No weird or freaky asks! Anything pertaining to that will be deleted and ignored. Spam/Donation asks will be turned down as well. Since this is not the place for them.

A lot of this AU will be taking creative liberties, which means that certain things may not follow the rules of Minecraft/MCSM. Like the limitations of commands blocks, for example. If this bothers you, then this isn’t the place for you boo.

Feel free to interact if you’re roleplaying a canon character / oc! And don’t be afraid to ask multiple questions! I sincerely don’t mind! I also don’t mind being invited to long form roleplays, so uh…yeah I’m down for pretty much anything haha.

I will not be doing any blatant ships. I’d rather keep my mind set on the storyline. Jokes / hints are fine. Any kind of force will be ignored / deleted.

Canon events or important story bits will be tagged with #📝 Anything that isn’t tagged with this is most likely not canon.

Any OOC interactions will be surrounded with parentheses.

Please do not steal any of the art I’ve made for this, or the art @p3tr1xx made for the pfp! (Awesome work btw…thank you so much teehee.)

Last but not least, consider sharing this with your friends! I’d love to interact with you all! :)

Now ask away ya goblins!!
