Woo woo more updates!
I think I got bit by the writing bug or something because I've also been catching up with my rp replies offsite at a crazy pace xD
TheAmberShadow - Probably xD He'll stick with Ellie for a bit longer though...probably
I literally googled 'female names of Jesse' and that was one of the top results. And she's basically like the person in charge of keeping the town a safe and friendly place to live
Thats my theory as to why she never mentions the Old Builders, while all of the other possible ones do. She got hit in the head hard enough that her memories went bye-bye.
Ten virtual cookies have been granted, as well as a virtual bucket of milk because who needs cups when you have buckets
Wow...I thought only saying my few clues would be more vague. Apparently not xD Nope. Winslow has another role.
*cackles*
You have no idea how happy it made me to read that xD So happy you caught that :'D
Raintag - He's just grumpy cause he's missing all the action.
He's definitely insane. However, here, there's a reason for it *smirks evily*
Well we've got Snarky!Jesse, so we've gotta have Impatient!Jesi.
Yeah, she's gonna get crushed when she finds out about *same invisible throat punches Savvy in the neck*
Yup, Adien kinda had a fit xP
This is my explanation as to how she got their pictures done and dry and hung in less than 15 minutes or whatever the calculation is. And yup, I needed a reason for her...and that one just kinda wrote itself out.
She's still mostly got red hair, but a few stripes of white.
*facepalms* yup...I'll just go...*fixes it*
I'm a poet and I didn't even know it X)
We're all logical here
103 now :D
He actually kinda does, it's freaky *shudder*
Charlotte - Thanks! Its fun to write them :3
They argue almost as much here as they do in canon xD
I honestly didn't intend for it to be like that, it just...happened
Lllloooootttssss ooooffff iiiiittttt~
The most it'll get you is a cackle and maybe a couple of 'you'll have to wait and see~'s
GiGiAndElla - I'm 100% OK with that :D I actually just saw it and have started reading it XD It's good! I'm glad you're enjoying enough to make a spin-off of it :3
On to the fic!
The 'healers' of Sky City were the most incompetent excuses for potionologists Jesse had ever seen. They'd peered at his cut, scratched their heads, and then turned to a thick-paged book which seemed to have brewing recipes in it. By the time they'd made a Potion of Healing, Jesse's wound had healed itself! But he took the bottle anyways, accepting it into his hands, lifting it to his lips, and then quickly swapping it out with a water bottle when they weren't looking. Downing the water swiftly, he shoved it in their hands.
This seemed to satisfy him, and the blonde woman told him to rest on the bed while they reported to the founder. Internally, Jesse rolled his eyes. Seriously? They were leaving him alone in a room full of brewing ingredients? How stupid were these people?
The instant he was alone, Jesse was up and searching the room. He only took one or two of things there were multiple of. He also opened the book the healers had used and creased it open to several pages that would 'explain' the missing items as failed potion attempts.
Footsteps sounded outside, and Jesse quickly closed his bag, jolting back to the bed and sitting on it quickly. Acting like he was sitting up as the door swung open, revealing three guards in silvery iron armor, Jesse arched a brow. "Can I help you?" he asked, doing his best to add an extra rasp to his voice. It wasn't too hard, especially with his scar, just a little pressure in the right place, and presto, gravelly voice.
"Now that your wounds have been attended to, the Founder wishes to speak with you." Jesse bit back a grumble of irritation. He'd been hoping for more time to search for the Eversource. Nodding he said "Of course, will she be meeting me here, or are you to tell her I'm on my way?" the guard who'd originally spoken frowned at him "We will be escorting you to her."
Jesse sighed "Of course you will."
Gabriel crossed his arms as he was forced to watch the captain of the guard go through his stuff.
Alright, so he wasn't being forced to, but the bi-haired woman was touching his things. Gabriel would rather feed his soul to the Nether than let anyone steal his items from him for good. Gripping the iron bars tighter, Gabriel bit back a growl and Marta pulled out his favorite weapon, a heavily enchanted Diamond Sword, that had taken absolutely forever to make.
Marta simply frowned at the weapon, and passed it to another guard who placed it in a chest behind them, on the other end of the alley. Gabriel bit back a huff of annoyance. They were making it more and more complicated for him to make a quick and easy break out.
Marta picked up some more of Gabriels inventory, and Gabriel groaned, leaning his head against the jail bars.
If Ivor didn't hurry up and rescue him, Gabriel was going to snap and break himself out.
"Alright my friends, this should take us right to the throne room." It was nearly midnight, which meant Jesse and Gabriel had been held in the palace for almost twelve hours. They'd spent most of that time calming the members of Build Club,
Tim's voice was barely more than a whisper as he, Ivor and Harper crouched at the base of one of the palace walls. Directly above them was a window, where a form could be seen patrolling. "Once inside, we'll need to find the secret entrance that the Founder supposedly uses."
Ivor arched a brow "How do you know all of this?" he asked. Ivor grinned "Em, back in Build Club, the woman who challenged your 'golem', she works with the guard as Build Club's undercover agent. She keeps us safe, distracting the guards and all, and she brings us items on occasion. In return, we care for her younger sister Natalie, since their parents are dead."
Harper titled her head "How did they die?"
Tim looked at her sadly. "Like many at Build Club, they are...they were dreamers. They believed in the freedom to build, but...they also believed that there was a world under the void. They...they jumped off of the edge." He turned his head, clearly trying to avoid showing the tears welling in the corners of his eyes "This was three years ago."
Harper and Ivor exchanged a sad look. Tim was silent for a minute, before he looked back at them, a small, half-hearted smile flickering on his lips. "But doing what we are doing, freeing the Eversource, this is what they would have wanted!"
At the throne room, they'd met up with Jesse and Gabriel, the former of which having been allowed to explore while the guards checked out the areas he'd directed them to, all false leads of course, the latter having influenced the Captain into 'letting' him out of jail.
"The Founders secret passage to the Eversource is supposed to be here somewhere." Tim said, gray eyes darting around the throne room quickly. Ivor nodded "If its here, we'll find it." he promised. Glancing at the others he said "Let's split up, we'll find it faster." They nodded, and began to wander through the room. Jesse went instantly to a bookshelf in the far right corner, Gabriel began eyeing the throne, Harper went over to a minecart track leading to nowhere, and Tim walked through the massive opening behind the throne.
"I'm getting a very 'door' vibe from this." Ivor muttered, making his way over to Harper. The black haired girl nodded and said "We need something to activate these rails though, and probably to open up either the wall or floor, depending on where it goes." Ivor nodded "I'll look around, see if you can find any more clues as to where it goes."
Harper nodded, and Ivor stepped away. Deciding to find Tim, he went behind the throne out into the open air, and instantly felt dizzy. There was about fifteen blocks total in the small area, and it was crammed with a tree, and a cobblestone generator. Nothing else, just empty air leading straight into the void.
"I'm very grateful to you, you know." Tim said as Ivor came up behind him. Ivor smiled, resting a hand on the blue haired man's shoulder "Hey, give yourself some credit. You've done Build Club proud." he reached into his inventory, and pulled out the banner he'd made earlier "Here" he said, handing it over. Tim frowned at it, fingers tracing the BC Ivor had dyed onto it. Ivor smiled slightly "It's a banner, I figured you could put it down once we take the eversource, that way everyone knows that the people are in control now, not some stuck up Founder."
The bookcase Jesse had been studying was full of rather strange titles. Twisted Hybrids, My Own Fault, Just a Game, and Powerfully Alone among others. But the one that stuck out? Habits of the Endermen.
By Lukas.
The blonde man was going to be locked in a room when they got back. A pitch black room with a blinding light aimed right at his eyeballs until Ivor learned why a controlling blonde woman who lived in an island in the sky, had one of his books.
It had taken a while to put together a lever. Ivor had ended up using the Cobble generator the Founder had set up, as well as a stick he got from a dead bush in the back corner. Placing it swiftly, Ivor waved everyone over, and then with a single, smooth movement, pushed it on. The wall opened up, about four blocks wide, and minecarts rumbled out of the newly revealed space and clicked into place.
Jesse and Tim were the first two in the carts, and Jesse waved an arm impatiently. "Hurry up!" he hissed, eyes twinkling with excitement "We're close! Eversource, here we come!"
And that's a wrap!
Pretty short this time, but...yeah no excuses other than I wanted to leave you guys with a semi-cliffhanger :3
Remember to review!
