Really short I'll probably add more later but I wanted to post what I have.


Imagine The Company playing Minecraft

"What's the point of this game?" Kili asked as he and Fili looked over Toby's shoulder at his laptop screen on the kitchen table.

"It's Minecraft. You mine and you craft." Toby said without looking from the screen.

"So you play as a dwarf?" Fili asked.

"Uh, I'm pretty sure the character's a human but I guess he could be a dwarf."

"Or she." Linda said from her seat in the small living room adjacent to the kitchen. She was on her laptop in the same world as Toby with Gloin and Dwalin on the couch next to her and Balin behind the couch looking over her shoulder.

"I get that you craft and mine but what's the point?" Fili asked with a frown. "Why don't you just go outside and do this?"

"Cause one, it's too dangerous and two, we don't live anywhere near mines." Toby said.

"What's that green thing?" Kili asked.

"Doesn't look like a Yoshi." Fili said. Toby raised an eyebrow at the brothers.

"That's a creeper, they explode."

"Why?" Balin asked.

"Cause they're assholes."

"Toby."

"Sorry, I meant because they're not nice people." Toby said. Linda looked over at him with a what-the-hell look. "What do you want me to say?" Toby asked raising his eyebrows and hands in a what-do-you-want-from-me gesture.

"Could I play?" Kili asked.

"You got to play the last game first." Gloin said. "I think it's our turn."

"If you break my laptop I will castrate you." Linda said looking at him with a dead-serious expression. Gloin gulped and carefully took the laptop from her. Dwalin got up and went over to Toby's laptop.

"They don't even know how to play." Toby whined.

"You didn't know how to play until I showed you. Mr. I-can-take-on-the-Enderdragon-with-my-wooden-sword."

"Enderdragon?" Balin asked.

"What's that?" Kili asked.

"This game has dragons?" Gloin asked.

"Yep, it's a big boss battle." Toby said. Dwalin gave him a look and Toby got out of his chair with a big huff. Dwalin got into the chair and Toby showed him the controls while Linda showed Gloin. Gloin ended up crafting a pickaxe and started mining while Dwalin crafted a sword and started fighting mobs. "No no no you wanna run away from the creeper!"

"The little green square doesn't scare me." Dwalin said rolling his eyes.

"It's a rectangle and it should." Toby said crossing his arms. When the creeper blew up and killed Dwalin's character he simply blinked at the screen. "Told you so." Toby said making Dwalin glare at him. Toby glanced over at the group on the couch before quickly typing something on the computer. "Hey Lin, how's he doin?"

"Pretty well actually, he found a few iron blocks and two gold ones."

"Sweet." Toby said before whispering something in Dwalin's ear. Dwalin blinked.


"How did you get a diamond swor- Toby you turned on cheats didn't you." Linda asked turning to give her brother a 'seriously' look.

"I will admit nothing." Toby said with a smirk.

"What are you doin with that sword, Dwalin?" Gloin asked with a frown as Dwalin's character approached Gloin's. Dwalin chuckled. Lind a quickly reached over and make Gloin's character equip the pickaxe.

"We have a pickaxe and we're not afraid to use it." She said.

"Attack!" Toby shouted. Fili and Kili burst out laughing at the looks on Dwalin and Gloin's faces as they mashed the attack button. "HA! Diamond pickaxe for the win!" Toby shouted.

"That's not even possible." Gloin grumbled.

"Our turn!" Fili and Kili shouted.
