Christmas in Neplog!
Chapter 1
Ah! Hello everyone! I didn't see you there! I'm Sammyroxx, or Histoire in this story.
Okay I did see you coming, I am just being casual about the story but welcome! Christmas time is a time that we hold dear and close to our hearts. It's a time we spend with family and close friends, exchanging gifts and having a fun holiday break as a group of people! This story is about that! A server called Neplog is a tight and compact family of friends and artists, and usually there is something going on, and I don't mean drama. I mean like specific interactions! For instance, have you seen how fast Notch comments when Jeanne D'arc is posted in #weeb_corner? Well I hope this fanfic, or.. joke story, shows that to you! I would like to point out a few disclaimers first: You may not know these people.. which.. is reasonable of course, but they are artists, so a quick google on twitter or such won't hurt since they put time and love into their works! Secondly, this is all a joke, nothing is supposed to be serious! I am NOT going out of my way to insult people, as I love everyone in this story, so if it sounds like I am taking pot shots, don't worry, I mean that in humor and still love ya! And for the final one… Some actions may be exaggerated, and themes that seem too far, are just all jokes!
That being said, please enjoy this wonderful story of Christmas in Neplog! Narrated by me!
Note: People are described by their OC or by Profile Picture or.. what they usually are like, idk man. 3
Ah, it's that time again. Winter break. The time where that means only one thing: Christmas time and a downpour of snow. For Neplog, this year was special. Well not really, they all decided to get into one big cabin. No really, everyone decided "You know what would be a great winter break besides spending time with my family? People online that I never met in person!" Yeah. That's the true life.
"Alright. Head count." Unikoon, the owner would say as he stood in front of many people. The people sitting infront of them would be the ones that were mods. He would begin to speak again.
"HeVi?" A finnish guy with a flask of alcohol raises his hand. He was already drinking
"Here, and already got my drink."
"Don't start singing yet." Unikoon retorted. "Zero?"
A teen with purple hair would raise his hand. He would have his phone in my hand, texting someone labled "Neptune". "Here."
"Mari and Square?" He said, looking for the server couple.
"I think they went to their rooms." Spatio would say, raising her hand.
"To their rooms?" He would cup his hands over his mouth, then yell "MARI, SQUARE! COME OUT FOR A MINUTE!"
The couple would exit their rooms, with all their stuff inside, looking down the to the living room. Square with his long brown hair and ears, much like his girlfriend Mari, who had a lighter brown and also had ears which both came out of her hair. Square would speak up first. "Sorry Uni, was helping Mari put some drinks she brought into the mini-fridge so they don't get warm."
"That's fine, just doing a mod head count. Where is Nep_Nep-" Nep_Nep, would lightly smack Uni with his right hand, smirking and chuckling at him "Did you call for your right hand?"
Neppy would raise an eyebrow and speak up "..Was.. that a joke about being 'The Oracle's Right Hand'?"
Nep_Nep would nod proudfully "I always wanted to do that joke, not going to lie, sorry Uni for hitting you but there is one 'Oracle's Right Hand' role, and I got it."
Uni would roll his eyes and shake his head "You're lucky I am in a good mood otherwise- Oh wait this is IRL, I can just delete your maplestory-"
"YOU LEAVE MAPLESTORY OUT OF THIS!" He would snap it both fear and anger, while Uni got a smug look, basically saying that's all the revenge he needed.
"Alright, Haku and.. Notch, and Grand?" Notch would raise his hand, with a Jeanne d'Arc plushie in his other hand. Grand would be sitting next to Zero, looking over at his phone stealthily, raising his hand, while Haku would raise his hand, nodding.
"Ace, and Ramen?" Ace would raise his hand with a smile, while Ramen would be checking his twitch account on his phone, raising his hand as well.
"Alright, that seems to be everyone.. Firstly, thank you all coming guys, all moderators coming on this trip is a pretty damn good outcome if you ask me. But seeing how we got so many people from Neplog coming, I figured it may get a bit crazy.. so I bought these." He would set down a big box infront of them, and opening them. They were crowbars, labeled "The Mod Crowbar".
Neppy would look up slowly with a questioning look, wondering if he lost it "…You okay Unikoon? I know this is a bit stressful but-"
"I am okay! These are your mod powers. If someone is causing a ruckus, smack them with one."
Spatio would pick one up, eyeing it.. very weirdly. "Are.. you sure you want us to smack them?"
"Yes. If someone starts a fight, or if Histoire tries getting into NSFW, smack them. If they do something stupid and get hurt themselves, you may hurt their pride by laughing at them, and smacking them at one's own choice."
Mari and Square give each other a look.
"Every mod gets a crowbar. Secondly, tomorrow we are gonna do somethings, like snowball fight and all that jazz. If you have any other ideas that we can all do as a group, then fire away. What do you think Zero? Sound good?"
Zero nods, looking at his phone, before looking up delayed, and nodding again "H-Huh- Oh yeah!"
"… What are you doing?"
Grand would speak up, still looking at Zero's phone "Neptune just sent some picture of her-"
Zero would grab a crowbar and smack Grand with it hastily "SHADDUP GRAND!"
Unikoon would sigh. "Alright, that's really everything. Dinner is going to be like.. around 8 o'clock, Zero said they will try to whip something up for tonight, since its just going to be us in this cabin. 11 PM will be quiet time, for those who sleep early so if you got a game going on, try not to get too angry.." Uni would slowly look at Zero.
"Finish what you are saying and you'll need to find a new cook Uni."
Unikoon would smirk and chuckle. "Okay Okay, fair enough. You're all dismissed to go set up your rooms. The rest of the people should be here soon. Just remember your crowbars."
HeVi would have an entirely different drink now, a mug of beer. "I don't know why crowbars but I won't question it if I get to make Half-Life jokes."
The rest of the mod's would take their Crowbars, and in an hour's time, a large amount of people from the server would pour in. Histoire, would make it in first, sighing in relief as he walked in. More would follow, PaiPai, Dai, Birb, Shunned, Ultra, Cobalt, Garland, KDeaho, Eugene, Roger, Sam (Not me!), Tee, Spec, GTX, Alice, Puru, RAY, Battleship, Charlie, Cipher, Codex, Airan, Koca, Diggy, Jackie, and many more! The people would find their rooms and start setting themselves up, and some even streaming a little together and talking in the living room after they all got their rooms set up. Yup.. This was a grand beginning. After everyone had set up their stuff, they would have gotten together in the living room, talking and chatting. It could be perceived as chaos.. but this was normal.
Jackie would be chatting with Cobalt, Jackie mentioning something about a "Golem" to Cobalt, and his eyes just widened and just squinted at him. Histoire would be in the kitchen, making.. something. Looked like a chocolate pie. While on the other side, HeVi was singing in finnish, with some alcohol in one hand. It sounded like Christmas music, but in finnish. At the side of the room, Mark would be chatting with Cipher. Unusual combination but the two would be talking about programming, as the two are programmers for Indie games.
"So when is dinner again..?" PaiPai spoke up after HeVi finished singing something.
"I assume when Zero gets to it." HeVi responded.
"Or when Zero stops texting Neptune." Neppy would say with a smug look. Zero peeked into the room immediately. "I heard that Neppy!"
"Glad you did~" She would say, laughing a little.
"You know I was actually expecting this to be awkward and us sit in our rooms, but we are in here listening HeVi singing.. while buzzed." Puru would say, looking around with a grin and a mildly surprised look.
"You should be in VC more when HeVi is in it. Trust me." Kurokage would give a smirk to Puru, as then the doors from the kitchen opened, with Histoire walking out with a Chocolate pie.
"I'm back!~" Histoire would say with a smile.
"Did you kill the horse?" Neppy and HeVi said at once.
"Yes I did, settle down!" Histoire would hand the the pie down to PaiPai with a smile.
"PaiPai gets a PiePie!" PaiPai's face lit up as she takes the pie, and takes a bite.
"PaiPai eats a PiePie!" Histoire would say again as she ate some of it.. then Histoire pushes the thing to her face, getting some traces but not ruining the pie, holding out a towel for PaiPai. "PaiPai wears PiePie!"
PiePie would pout and take the towel and easily wipe her face. "Jokes on you, I like Chocolate Pie!~" She would dig into her free pie, her face cleaned up as she took another bite, as Histoire sat down.
"Literally 20 dollars well spent to make a joke to PaiPai, I shit you not that was all I wanted to try! So, what are we up to here? Talking about waifus or the such?~"
"I will talk about them only if they are big!" Tee would say, with Codex nodding
"Liiiike.. Mature, like the men of cult-"
"BIG." Tee, Codex, Mark, and Bliss would respond immediately, looking up into space, as if they are imagining something.
"I expected this outcome and you should have too." Unikoon would respond, with a grin, chuckling lightly.
"Biggu.. eue" Tee would say, as if imagining it. Neppy would pet Tee on the head as she was day dreaming.
"Personally I don't mind 'biggu' because I am more interested in RED.. Boobs and red hair and-"
"Major Lesbian personality?" Spec would say with a smirk, interrupting Puru, but Puru only stood up proudfully.
"OF COURSE!" Puru would say, with a proud smile, Spec giving him a look as he just sipped a water bottle, while pai Spoke up in the background. "I'm the Yuri queen here!"
"Personally, the ones that say あらあら~ always catch my fancy, due to how soft and gentle they come in, like Mutsu-nee." Kurokage would say, sipping a cup of tea that had a hint of honey in it, while petting HeVi's head with a silk glove.. for maximum degeneracy.
"The what?" Spatio would say with a raised eyebrow.
" あらあら~" HeVi would respond.
Spatio wouldn't get it, and asked again. "I-I mean.. what is that?"
"あらあら~ means 'Ara Ara~' means 'Oh my~' and is usually said by Onee-san type figures. Tilda included." Histoire would say, HeVi and Kuro nodding in agreement.
"O-Oh.. Sorry.." Spatio would say, nodding in understanding.
Histoire would wave it off. "Ah don't worry about it!.. Say, where is Mari and Square?"
Demo would raise his hand.. the hand not holding a cactus. "Oh! In their rooms playing SMASH ULTIMATE!"
"Sounds like Notch when someone sent that Jeanne-"
Notch would KICK his door open, holding up his mod crowbar as he looked around, interrupting Histoire. "WHERE IS THE JEANNE, YOU?!"
Histoire would raise his hands and shake them hastily. "IT WAS A JOKE! A JOKE!"
Notch would press the crowbar against his chin, with a look of greed. "You DM me 3 in the next hour.. o-o" Notch would walk back into his room, eyeing Histoire, before closing it.
"Remind me to start finding pictures.." Histoire would take his phone out and start scrolling through them, gulping.
"Maybe I can go check on Mari and Square if they are doing okay Uni?" Ace would give a friendly smile as he asked Unikoon
"Yeah.. I doubt there is anything wrong, but I have been hearing a lot of movement from their room so.. go check.."
"They playing Smash alright!~" Uni immediately smacks Histoire with his crowbar for him saying that, sipping his water as Ace calmly walked up the second floor to their room, knocking on their door. "Hello? Square? Mari? Everything okay in here?"
Square would open the door, smiling when he saw Ace. "Oh, Hey Ace. What's up?"
"I just heard some noises and figured to ask to see if everything is okay!" Square would open the door up, showing Mari holding a switch controller, waving at Ace, speaking up. "Hello Ace, nothing bad going on here, just getting a little excited playing against Square is all!"
Ace would nod, smiling. "Alright! Just curious! ^-^" Ace would leave, and Square alone. Square would get on the bed and sigh. "You were right about Smash Ultimate being the 'Ultimate' cover- OOF!" He would get tackled by Mari almost immediately, dropping the controllers as Ace walked back down and smiled. "Everything is going okay with them, just playing Smash Ultimate-"
Demo would immediately play the Gangplank Galleon remix on his phone, looking up with a smile as he rubbed his head against a.. cactus..?
"Demo.. could you please turn that off?" Spatio would say, looking at him and the cactus.. curiously, and Demo would turn it off after she asked. Behind Demo, Alice was dancing to it but had to stop when the song itself stopped. He sighed as he went over to Demo and sat down.. and took the cactus and tried rubbing her head against it, only jumping backwards and rubbing her cheek. "OW! Demo, what the heck?!"
Demo would continue rubbing his head against the cactus, as if it didn't hurt or.. prick him. Everyone was looking at demo weirdly, before he looked at Alice and everyone else, raising an eyebrow.
"What?"
Everyone would continue looking at him, before the doors opened, and Garland and Zero came out of the kitchen.
"Well, Dinner is ready if you guys wanna eat." Garland would say with a smile.
Cobalt would look up with a smirk. "Is it rations?"
Garland looked right at him rather quickly, giving him a glare. "They also taught me to fire a gun in the military."
Cobalt sat up straight, nodding. He certainly did not regret that one, but he didn't want to push it.
Grand would shake his head gently. "Sadly this is not general chat, so people can bite back. Just.. try not to actually bite. I don't know how I feel swatting someone with a metal crowbar.."
"You guys gonna keep talking or you gonna come eat?" Zero would sigh, standing impatiently.
"Hold on we need to get Ramen.. Wait where is Ramen?" Zerky would raise an eyebrow, looking around.
"Probably streaming.. Zerky, don't interrupt him. He doesn't want to be bothered." Uni would say as he made his way to the kitchen.
Zerky, taking the chance to bother someone, disregarded Uni and made his way to Ramen's room. Zero and Uni would start a count down from the hands, starting from 5… 4… 3… 2.. 1… aaaaand..
"GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY ROOM I'M STREAMING!" The sound of Ramen yelling filled the room, and then a prompt door slam.
"Lets be honest he needed to learn that lesson himself." Uni would say, Zero nodding with him, both letting out a sigh as Zerky came back, his eyes widened as he spoke up.
"… Noted.."
Muthix would look at Zerky, then speak up. "… Can I offer him a sprite cranbe-"
Uni and Zero both gave Muthix a deathly glare, slowly raising their Mod Crowbars..
"…Nevermind lets eat!" Muthix quickly made his way into the dining room, where Uni smirked.
"That's what I thought."
Dinner would be an entire story in itself. The food laid out was quite delectable. Skyline dip, Chicken wings, fries, coffee, Rice, pie, cactus..?, pizza and other things laid out for everyone. People were digging into the many foods laid out, chatting with each other as they worked on the food they had on their plate. Demo would be purely eating the cactus, as if the thorns did nothing. Mari would be feeding Square, who's face would be red, but let it happen. HeVi would purely drink his coffee. Histoire would be arguing with Cobalt about something with Server Ranking, as Alice just watched the two, continuing to eat. Zerky would be trying to stomach everything he put on his plate, PaiPai would be devouring another chocolate pie. Few people would be eating normally, like Haku or Neppy, who would actually just watch the chaos around the table. KDaeho would be too busy bulliing Koca, while Codex and Eugene would just be talking to each other. Tee would be making small talk with Spatio, while Dai and Uni were chatting with each other about future projects.. normally, Zero and Charlie would be arguing about who would kick who's ass at Warframe. Most of the other artists would just be watching the chaos, murmuring to each other. Spectrum and GTX would just look at everyone.. both with an eyebrow raised. Battleship would sit next to HeVi and just ate calmly and politely, despite the fact that Muthix was plowing through food besides him, along with Diggy and RAY. Cipher just sighed as he sat next Mari and Square. Normal night. This dinner went by, eventually everyone tiring themselves out, the quiet 2d artists leaving first for their rooms, which people soon followed. Mari and Square helped Garland and Zero clean up dishes, while some others helped clean their own dishes off or atleast throw away what was left over on their plate, and eventually dinner was all cleaned up, and everyone was in their rooms. Some people decided to stay up and chat a little more, HeVi not minding to stay up and talk about Final Fantasy with Tee and Neppy, while some of the 2d artists had their drawing pads out, talking to each other to truly see how each person drew their art. In some people's rooms, some would be playing games, few streaming, few working on a video, or just getting some damn sleep.
Yup… This was an average day in Neplog.
