Chapter 8: Surprise x2
I yawned. I really should sleep more, even people like me get tired. I looked around, then groaned. It seem's I've got a... glitch, one that changes my clothes code. I distinctly remember changing into a soft top and baggy trouser's, and now I was in a white dress. Right at this moment, it was... melting? into a casual top and jean's.
At least it will only be temporary, I've got a uncanny ability for my code to sort itself out. But for how long it will take will be the problem...
Oh well. It wont help worrying about that now, I've got to find out what else has changed in this world... and what everything is. Levitating a book near me, I carried on walking down-stairs, making little sound. I didn't want to wake up my... room-mate's. They are not technically my friends, I still cannot fully trust them. I suddenly felt a pang of guilt for thinking that. I can trust them, it's not like they could harm me, or do much to cause any chaos, just like a small "dog", a mammal that live's in this world.
My eye's sparkled, all these new words! All contained in this "Dictionary", such a wonderful little book! Of course there's more of these book's in one of the room's, I remembered seeing thousand's of them, all in a "Library". It must be a place where these human's store their knowledge, and go to read and refresh their memory. Such a cute little creature, so confused, and so behind in technology.
"I didn't know you wore glasses." Someone said, making me jump, causing the book to fall to my feet.
"Hannah!" I wined, realising I've lost my page. (One daily struggle for a clumsy person like me.)
She laughed, before looking at the book more closely. "A Dictionary? Seriously?"
I rubbed my arm's and sighed. "Hey, if you want me calling everything a "weird blob" go ahead and mock me."
She raised her eyebrow. "New word of the day?"
I grinned and picked up the book. "Loving every moment!"
It was her turn to sigh. "Soon you will be saying word's like "humane" and "litigation"."
I rolled my eye's and carried on walking down the hall way, gesturing Hannah to follow. "Let's go get breakfast."
Hannah shook her head. "I've got to wake up everyone else, probably still exploring their new room. They can't help it."
I laughed, and I waved goodbye, finding my page and carried on reading. Wait a minute... did she say glasses? I stopped, and touched my face, feeling a pair of black "geeky" spec's. I took them off and placed it on a counter, this glitch is getting more annoying. I can't manually "fix" myself, so all I could do is wait. At least they aren't frequent...
I heard a soft "whoop" and I turned around, my sword in my hand. Turning my head, I scanned the area, looking for anything suspicious. Hearing something let out a small moan, I turned to see... a guy? He had ginger hair, wore a weird, fancy coat, and seemed to stumble around, rubbing his head.
"Who are you?" I asked, pointing my sword at his head.
"Huh?!" He exclaimed, leaning away with shock, before looking around the area. "Please, I think something's gone seriously wrong, I was just at home an-"
"You teleported." I said, interrupting him.
He let out a short laugh, "People can't teleport, that's-"
"You don't know do you?" I asked, cursing the fact I don't have my goggle's. At least those would have covered my face, protecting my identity.
"What don't I know?" He replied, still rubbing his head.
I was getting no where with him. "What's your name?" I asked.
He frowned. "Why should I tell you?"
"Because if you want some answers, I need a name."
"Ridgedog." He muttered, looking away.
I tilted my head, and quickly grabbed his sleeve. Before he could call out, I teleported to Hannah. Once we had arrived, I saw Hannah was with the rest of the group, leading them to the kitchen.
"Hannah!" I called, getting her attention. "Do you know this person? He is called Ridgedog."
Her eye's widened. "He's part of the Yogscast, don't hurt him!" She shouted quickly, jogging over.
"Well, I need you to look after him. Tell him everything, since he has already seen me, and show him around."
"I can't, I've got to go to the kitchen and... I guess cook? Everyone's pretty hungry."
"Take him with you!" I whispered, "I don't know what to do! He's your friend!"
She rubbed her face before grabbing Ridgedog's arm, who was now floating. How queer. "C' mon, I'll tell you everything on the way." She said.
Nodding a quick thank's, I turned around quickly, feeling my clothes change yet again. Ignoring it, I carried on walking, my foot step's turning from a dull "thud" to a loud "click". Cursing, I resisted the urge to chuck off the ridiculously high, high-heel's. Being bigger then 2 inches, they were hell to walk in.
Regretting my decision, I grabbed them off my feet, throwing them at the wall. "Stupid high-heel's..." I moaned, rubbing my feet. "Stupid glitch!" I added, grabbing the dress that I was now wearing. I wanted to tear it up, but I was still in the hall-way, and I don't particularly wanted everyone seeing my underwear.
Putting my foot down, I walked away as quickly as I could, I needed to let out some steam. Turning some more corners, I entered a large room, filled with weapons, armour, and places to test your skills. Grabbing the nearest thing, which happened to be a broad-sword, I charged at a straw dummy, yelling. Swinging it through the air, I slashed at the thing, until I collapsed in a bunch of straw, breathing heavily. God, those things weighed a ton!
Brushing my hair from my eye's, I decided I needed to just calm down, and take a deep breath. I know that that extra person arriving here is really bad, but I have much bigger issues then a group of adults knowing the truth. They still don't know my identity, though I'm going to have to give them a name. Tilting my head, I decided to dedicate the rest of my time thinking of a good name.
In the kitchen, everyone chatted excitedly, filling Ridgedog in with the answers that he wanted.
"You can't tell anyone else about this though, okay?" Simon said, drinking some tea.
Ridgedog nodded, and leaned back with a small sigh. "This is really freaky."
Lewis laughed. "Here,"freaky" doesn't even cover it!"
Duncan joined in with the laughter. "Yeah, like Rythian can apparently do magic now, Panda is a panda and I'm now some crazy scientist!"
"We can now all stand Hannah's cooking, that's got to be a bonus!" Nilsey added, receiving laughs and a glare from Hannah.
Smiling from hearing this conversation, I entered the room, being greeted by everyone with smiles and hi's. "Hey, just wanted to say that the rest of the day you guy's can just chill and look around. I've got some map's if you lot want to look inside this place, but you can go outside as well." Everyone cheered, before resuming their breakfast.
"Ridgedog, I need to talk to you." I said quickly. "I just need to ask some questions."
He looked up at me, but nodded.
"Who is your character in the game?"
"I'm a demi-god, I just fly around and help... sometimes."
"Why did you teleport to me?"
"I don't know, I was watching a video that someone sent me, and then I was here."
"Thank's." I said, "I'll show you to your room once your done eating, your going to have to stay here until I can change everyone back., do you know anyone else who has changed?"
He shook his head. "Nope, haven't seen anything."
Saying thank's again, I turned around and walked to the door. But I stopped, remembering something.
"Hey, just remembered, you lot still don't know my name." I said, "I've decided that you can call me Freya, Freya Mordecai."
Happy with my choice, I carried on walking. I needed to figure out a place for Ridge to sleep, and also track the rest of the Yogscast. This change seem's to affect them personally, which doesn't make any sense. Why only target them?
Lost deep in my thought's, I didn't hear the soft "hiss" behind me. Until it was too late.
My ear's rang from the explosion.
I looked around, I was slumped against a wall, everything stung...
Just so sleepy...
I touched something warm and sticky.
My brain wasn't working properly...
Was... that juice? No, it was something else...
There was so much shouting, why couldn't anyone see I was so tired?
Closing my eye's, thankfully I was plunged into darkness.
Who knew I would ever be grateful for passing out.
Authors Notes:
Another chapter! This time I finally gave her a name! I don't like how I did it though, like I just dropped it on your plate, without any preparation. But I can't think of another way, so annoyed with my brain. Introduced Ridgedog! Going to add Toby and Martyn in the future. Also thinking about way's to do the Yogscast's other account's, because some have more than one account in Minecraft.
Also, do you guy's think that it was a creeper that blew up? Or was it something else?
Thank's for reading!
