Day 1
Alyannie Smith began to stir as she found herself in a strange position. She remembered falling asleep in her bed, so why was she now in an Oak tree…and why was the tree made of blocks? She stood up and looked around. She saw a river nearby, mountains in the distance in one direction, and a jungle in the other.
She found two possibilities; one she was dreaming about being in one of her favorite games, or she was actually inside of it. She decided to climb out of the tree, and tripped in the process. The resulting tumble from the tree caused her to land face first onto the dirt below her, her long, flowing, blond hair falling all over the place. She pulled herself up, brushing her hair out of her face. She put herself in a sitting position, and moaned softly from the pain.
"Oww..." This was not a dream! She looked down at herself, and saw that she was wearing what she had fallen asleep in. She was wearing a shoulderless green shirt with a golden musical note on the front, white pants, and her brown boots. She stood up and began to brush herself off. She turned around and saw a chest on the ground behind her, sitting at the base of the tree. She walked over to it, and opened it.
Inside she found some basic items, a wooden pickaxe, three apples, a Birch tree sapling, seven oak planks, and six sticks. As she picked up the items, her inventory screen appeared in front of her. After placing everything into it, she noticed the two things that had been there first, a map, and her headphones. She reached out and took her headphones into her hand, and proceeded to place them around her neck, the white and green colors standing out from her blond hair.
She pulled out her map and watched as her immediate area was revealed. She looked away however when she heard a sound come from the bushes nearby. She quickly turned towards it and pulled out the pickaxe, ready to fight whatever it was that was coming.
It turned out to be a boy, or young man really. He looked handsome, with beautiful eyes, high cheekbones, wavy brunette hair, and Cupid 's bow lips. He had a skinny body, almost too skinny in Alyannie's opinion, and he had small hands, which were clasped on a wooden sword.
Seeing the sword made Alyannie gulp, since this meant that if he wanted a fight, he would have the edge. Instead of attacking her however, he seemed to smile a bit upon seeing her, and seemed to relax a little, and the sword now rested at his side, (still in hand), but at his side. He began to speak to her.
"Hey, it's good to see I'm not the only one here! My name is Chris Abendstern! What's your name?" He asked. Alyannie slowly lowered her pickaxe from its defensive positon in front of her slowly to her side.
"My name is Alyannie Smith! Do you have any idea where are, or how we got here? The last thing I remember is falling asleep with my music on!" She said, still keeping her distance. Chris walked out of the tree line and walked forward slowly. As a sign of trust, he decided to put away his sword.
"No, I don't have any idea what happened either. I was just getting ready to play this game, when I saw this patch update. Once I saw the installation was complete, I must have passed out or something."
Alyannie perked up at this news. "Me too! I was installing the new patch when I fell asleep!" The two of them were now looking at each other, thinking the same thing. That this newest patch had somehow taken them from their world into this one.
The two decided to stick together for now, and both set to work preparing a shelter for the coming night. Thanks to Alyannie's pickaxe, they were able to mine enough stone to make some stone equipment, so if they needed to, they could fight.
The two had decided that height was their ally, and so built their house in one of the tall jungle trees nearby. As they finished laying down the floor, they realized that Alyannie's apples were their only food. The two began to worry, until they saw someone on the other side of the river.
It looked like another woman, with brown hair, a purple shirt and black pants. In her hands was a stone sword, and in her sights was a pig meandering by the stream. The two in the tree decided that it may be wise to bring their weapons with them.
When they reached their side of the river, they saw the woman spring into action, jabbing her sword into the pig's side. The mob was quickly dead, and uncooked pork chops soon appeared, along with experience orbs. She picked all of those up, and looked up and saw Chris and Alyannie. She smiled and waved at them with the hand not holding a sword.
Chris seemed not to know what to do, so Alyannie decided to speak. "Hello! Are you like us? Someone who installed the latest Minecraft patch, and then suddenly woke up inside the game?"
The woman nodded, and jumped into the river. She swam over to their side, and shook herself off a bit. "My names Alice Willof, Minecraft hunter, survivalist, and also hater of pigs!" She offered a hand to Alyannie, which was returned.
"I'm Alyannie Smith, and this is Chris Abendstern!"
"A pleasure!" Chris said, as he shook her hand in turn. Once that was done, the two heard their stomachs growl with hunger. Alice looked at them.
"You two sound like you haven't eaten in a while, how much have got food wise?"
Alyannie blushed slightly in embarrassment as she quietly "Three apples…" Alice shook her head, and turned toward their treehouse. She turned back to them.
"Alright, how is this for a deal? I'll give you guys some of the food I collected, in exchange, I get to spend the night with you guys, deal?" She said, once again offering her hand.
Chris and Alyannie looked briefly at each other, then both shook Alice's hand. "Deal!" they both said.
They all looked and saw that the sun would be setting soon. They returned and finished the work that needed finishing, and lit up the inside of the home with torches, just as the orange light of the sun disappeared beyond the horizon.
They each laid down to sleep, they didn't have beds, but Alice had three pieces of wool, which worked as decent pillows. As the three spent their first night in this world, they all wondered what would come next. What none of them knew was that they were but a few parts of an even greater whole.
A.N.
I apologize for how long this chapter took to make. I had a lot of travelling, work, school, and recovery from illness to get through. I cannot promise regular updates, but reviews will motivate me to work faster (Cough cough). I only used three of the eight or so ocs that I have received so far, because I want to spread them out a bit. If your oc is not in one of the current chapters, they will be later on. If you want, you can send in two oc's apiece, BUT if you do, then make them different from your other character. If your first oc was a human, make your second a mob, and give them something to show that they are different from before.
Finally, something I would like to add to the application form is your character's background. Give me some of their history, where they used to live, how many friends they had etc. To the creators of these characters, I would appreciate this information on them as well, and to everyone who has sent in a character so far. I apologize for the inconvenience, and I should have remembered to add it to the for in the first place.
Thank you all for your patience, and I hope you will continue reading.
The 25th Doctor.
