Okay, second chapter :D
I write the chapters late at night, then do a spellcheck before uploading them, so if you notice any terrible grammar or the like, please notify me so I can edit it out.
Once again, please review the work. Even a, "Good Job" boosts my ego and motivates me to write more!
Everything is this chapter is owned by it's respective owners(Notch, Mojang) and all credit goes to Notch for making the most amazing game ever :D
Enjoy.
The experiments started with the first thing I saw, sand. I looked at where I had originally appeared and shuffled closer to it. Once I stood on the block beside it, I whacked at the sand with the tree blocks. I noticed that as long as I didn't let go of the tree, it wouldn't stick. As I finished breaking the sand down, it flew into my hand and I noticed it had disappeared. Finding this weird, I blinked a few times and noticed, after my eyes were open again, that there was a bar at the bottom of my vision. Gently, I reached out to it and noticed I couldn't touch it, it was as if the bar was only in my vision. Blinking again, I studied the bar and noted that there was a small 2 in the bottom-right corner of the tree blocks and a yellowish grainy block beside the tree. I tried to think of what the yellowish block was, and it appeared in my hand! It seems as if the thought of holding the block, makes the block appear in my hand.
After my first few discoveries, I was ready for something more challenging. I didn't remember how I came into this world, but remembered everything up until I noticed Alex giggling. That thought would haunt me for the rest of my days in this world, which I recognized to be similar to the one I escaped to when I daydreamed. Only instead of great beaches, and beautiful dancers(Alex clones of course) it was a blocky world where I could punch things and pick them up. None of it made much sense, but that didn't matter to me.
As I was pondering the world in which I resided, I shuffled into the ocean that surrounded the beach I "spawned" on. The cool water only came up to my legs, before I moved one more block and quickly sunk down. The water drenching over my head snapped me out of my thoughts and I blinked again, noticing my new surroundings. This time, a couple bubbles appeared over the bar(which I was labeling my holding things bar) and the first bubble started to slowly disappear. Frantically, I jumped my way to the surface to prevent drowning. I broke the water and crawled onto the beach, strangely not out of breath at all. Shaking that fact off, I looked down to study my new Bubble Bar and noticed that it was gone! I brought up my blocky arm and tapped my chin thoughtfully, trying to figure out what was going on. "Bubbles, they have something to do with water...re experiment, reapply, retry, recycle right," I thought to myself, forgetting my exact motto but knowing it had "r"s in it.
I turned back around and faced the water, taking a few deep breaths before approaching it. This time, I moved slower and braced myself for the imminent fall. As the water washed over my head, I noticed the Bubble Bar come back. The bubbles seemed to disappear the longer I was in the water. Obviously, it was counting the oxygen levels in the water, or something like that. I had missed the lesson, since I was staring at Alex. It was either that, or how long I could hold my breath. Either way, I didn't think I'd want to see it lose all it's bubbles. Quickly, I scrambled back on shore just in time to notice the bubbles regenerating. I didn't know exactly what that meant, but I thought it was good. Anything that stops me from dying quicker in this strange lonely world.
As I sat on the beach, trying to think of exactly what SOS sign would be best for cross-world emergencies, I heard a strange musical tone coming from the air. Surprised, I looked around for the human that would be making such eerie music. Sadly, I could not find anything nearby, but I noticed that the sun was setting. All the instincts in my mind shrieked at that point. I knew I needed shelter for the night. Shelter from what, I didn't know, but I did know that I'd die without the shelter.
I jumped to my feet and quickly picked up a lot of sand as the sun set. As I reached 40 sand, the sun was gone and the world was plunged in darkness. Swearing under my breath, I made a little 5x4x1 shelter around me. It wouldn't be enough to protect me, so I placed another block down and noticed that I was two blocks tall. Storing that in my memory, I placed one more block on top of that so I could stand once I put a roof on it. Taking a deep breath, getting ready for the darkness that would be in my shelter after I closed the moonlight, I put a block of sand above my head before grunting and noticing hearts appear above my Holding Things Bar. One heart was halved, and I theorized that maybe the sand hurt me. It seemed gravity was still a bitch in this world. Although, I noticed that my legs were covered in sand. This might be a good protective system, so I went to place some more sand above me and instead placed wood there. As I saw the wood place there, the world slowed down and I closed my eyes to wait for the block to strangle me. Instead, it hung there in the air, defying all the physics I knew. Laughing, I placed more wood above the roof, covering it in all but one spot. This one spot of moonlight, illuminated the rest of my shelter as I sat in the corner, waiting for the sun to rise, and the danger to come.
