A/N: It seems I can not stop writing stories related to the Minecraft seasons. Fortunately after the fourth one, we'll be taking a break from Minecraft related things for a while. ... Yeah, spoiler alert the fourth one is another Minecraft one-shot. I thought this one would be hard to write but I managed to come up with a decent idea at least with this series and "Midnight Whispers".
This one-shot focuses around Minecraft Hardcore 3. The cast for that season was PBG, JonTron, ProJared, Shane from Did You Know Gaming?, Smooth McGroove, Dean and McJones (the latter two only being mentioned).
Disclaimers: I don't own anything. The only warning I can give is there's slight spoilers, some swearing and headcanon mentions.
"At least you're doing well."
Smooth looked around the house confused again. Since they found themselves in this Minecraft world, during the night, sometimes he would hear somebody's voice out of nowhere. This wouldn't be surprising if he could place the voice to one of the other guys. As a result, this spooked him each time. He had a feeling he recognized the voice from somewhere yet still couldn't place it because of how quickly it came and went. He would only hear at least one or two things at a time then the only voices he heard were from the others. As if the voice was never there to being with and he was just going insane from being in a completely foreign world.
He looked towards Shane who was sitting near him. He asked "Did you say something Shane?"
Shane faced him with an equally confused expression "What?"
"I keep hearing someone say something but I don't know who it is." explained Smooth as he looked around the house. Some of the others were either outside fighting mobs or mining in the mine they created. The only other people in the house were Jared, PBG and Jon but he knew their voices well enough to figure out it wasn't either of them. In the meantime, Dean and McJones were mining but he didn't hear a lot of them since he didn't have his headphone in.
"I didn't say anything though." replied Shane "I don't think I heard anyone else say anything."
Shane turned to the others and asked "Jon, did you hear anything strange?"
"Are you hearing Endermen? Because I think I can hear an Enderman near our house." replied Jon "Well, that and zombies and spiders. Those are the two things I can hear."
"I dunno." replied Shane. He looked to Smooth and asked "Was it an Endermen?"
"Definitely not." replied Smooth "It was definitely someone's voice. It didn't make any screams or teleporting like sounds like the whoop sound."
"Are you saying you've been hearing voices?" asked Jared as he approached the group.
"That's just it, I'm not sure." explained Smooth "I have no idea who it is. It's just some voice that randomly sounds during the night hours."
"Dude, you're going crazy." replied Jon "You're already losing your mind from this adventure."
"It's way quicker than Barry did." added PBG as he finished up whatever it was he was doing.
Smooth only raised an eyebrow in confusion at the mention of Barry. "What?"
"Never mind."
Just like that, the conversation was completely dropped. There was some silence between the five of them until PBG asked "What has the voice been saying?"
"Has it been taunting you or anything?" added Jon.
"Nothing like that." replied Smooth as he thought back to what he heard from the voice "All I remember hearing were things like 'you're really good' or 'you're doing a good job' or things like that."
"Like a motivational coach." stated Shane.
"Sure, something like that. But that's all I hear and it's usually during the night hours." Smooth tried to look out one of the windows they made and added "I wish I could say what time but the only time system this world has is night and day."
"Doesn't sound like anything bad then." replied Jared with a grin.
"I know but... I still want to know where the voice is coming from." explained Smooth "And who it is. That's kind of driving me crazy."
"Don't let it bother you." said Jared as he patted him on the back "It's not a recurring thing so you'll be fine. At least it's not going to kill you."
"I guess I can agree on that." replied Smooth.
Jared gave him a nod. No one said another word after that so it was assumed the conversation in a whole was over. Jared made his leave as he clutched the sword in his sheath to head outside with PBG deciding he wanted some adventure and followed him out. Jon started looking around the house and muttered something about redecorating Shane and Smooth were the only two in the house aside from Jon who started building something.
"You sure you're going to be alright?" asked Shane.
Smooth thought about it, listening carefully for anything else. Like Jon said, all he could hear was spiders on the roof and he assumed the Enderman went away. As he got up and got a grip on his sword, he could hear the voice again "Yeah, I'm like a motivation coach. I'm not planning anything malicious or whatever."
He raised an eyebrow and Shane could clearly see the confused look on his face. "Smooth?"
"It's nothing. I just heard the voice again but it was silly." replied Smooth "Trust me. I'm fine. I think I'll just go out for a bit with those two."
He remembered to put his headphone back in and got a tight grip on his sword, leaving the house and hoping he could catch up with PBG and Jared. He did feel that his questions weren't exactly answered but as long as they stayed at a consistent night time schedule and didn't try to make him doubt his sanity, then he was fine with hearing it once in a while.
