Midnight: So, I read your planned title for the third story. What do you have to say?
Well, my previous one didn't fit my new idea, so I changed it.
Midnight: It better not be what I think it is.
After Midnight had suddenly disappeared with no explanation, Jesse divised a plan. He was going to try to catch the Warden's attention and get promoted, so that they could be sent down a level. The question was, how was he supposed to get promoted?
He soon found his answer, after solving a (not very complicated) puzzle in Oxblood's cell. Behind the wall, he found a mooshroom. Now, in a room where the only food the guests get is mushroom soup, a mooshroom would be considered contraband.
"What is a mooshroom doing here?" He asked to no one in particular. Probably ended up talking to himself again, a habit he had picked up before Rueben-
No, he forced that thought away. He didn't have time to think about that now.
"Seems like I could ask you the same question."
Jesse turned to find Oxblood standing right in front of the open passageway. "Care to explain what you're doing in my most private of spaces?" He was asked. "Care to explain why you're hiding a mooshroom in here?" Jesse asked back.
Simple as that, answer a question with a question.
Oxblood didn't answer that question, he only told Jesse to get out before he was caught.
But he wasn't caught by the Warden, he was caught by the other hungry guests.
They grabbed their bowls and had a feast, and all was well and good.
At least until the Warden showed up.
"What is going on here?" He noticed the mooshroom immediately. "Ah, Jesse. I see you've aquired your first contraband." Jesse wondered how he knew about the mooshroom, or if he had just come down for a quick check up.
"This creature cannot be allowed to undo the balance of the Mush Room." He said, and a lot of people could tell where this was going. "Shear it, would you Jesse?" Jesse seemed hesitant, especially with Oxblood's wailing echoing throughout the room.
"Ain't happening, Warden. Deal with it."
I would've been so happy if he hadn't said 'Deal with it.'
The guests applauded.
"I'm ordering you!" The Warden yelled. A shadow in the corner grinned. "No! Deal. With. It." Normally, she would upset at the defiance, but to see it happening right before her eyes was too much.
At least Geoff was still a mooshroom, but being taken away, much to Oxblood's disappointment. And the Warden's anger.
"I trusted you, Jesse!" He yelled, but Jesse stayed with his arms folded. "You are no longer an associate, Jesse. You've been demoted... to guest." Just great, the exact opposite of what he wanted. "And as a consequence for your actions..." He ordered the other associates to dig up the mycelium.
"What the heck are you doing?" Jesse asked.
"Teaching you a lesson, Jesse. No more mycelium." The shadow, angered by this turn of events, disappeared.
"They'll starve!"
"You and your friends will be relocated to the lower levels... the Zombie Mines." Jesse had to hide his grin. The Warden was falling for their trap.
"Well, isn't this a treat?" Stella suddenly appeared. "My rambunctious rival is now my poor prisoner. Get moving!"
They followed her down into the Zombie Mines, hoping that they would be survivable.
The Zombie Mines were exactly as you would expect. Zombie spawners were all over the place, torches were the only light to illuminate the place, and minecarts were going to and fro above them.
"Welcome to the Zombie Mines, Jesse!" Stella said way too cheerfully.
Jesse groaned, the smell of zombie flesh cut through the air. "Just when you think you've seen it all. What exactly is this place?"
Stella explained it to him. "Every few minutes a million gross zombies spawn, the equally gross prisoners dispatch them, and collect the zombie flesh, which is...?" She very purposely trailed off to make sure they got the point.
"Gross. I get it. But... why?"
"Don't know, don't care, do your job." She dismissed them.
Well now they just had to find a way to get to Prisoner X.
But how?
Well, my dad and I know how.

And there you have it! We're getting closer and closer to the second crossover!
Midnight: And...?
What did I tell you before? Stop reminding me. I get it, your story is almost a year old and-
Midnight: Why did you delete Broken Promises...?
You know what, I'll explain that when I rewrite it, which will be after EAM ends, let's get onto the reviews!
The Princess of Pink: And I'm going to assume you were the one who voted on the most recent poll? (Thanks if so!) / actually she wasn't her natural hair color is black. (What?) Nothing.
Ellismskd24: Once again, it's your choice.
Well, that does it for now-
Every Action Matters: Destabilizing
"I'm a glitch in the system! What am I supposed to do?!" Her physical form began to glitch out more and more as she panicked.
"Well, you're from the Other Side, you've gotta know something!" Her brother was so naive, he didn't understand anything about the situation at hand.
"No, I don't. I can't stay here."
And she ran off.
-see you next time!
