AN: Two chapters in one week! I'm on a roll! And when I said 'go wrong' in the last chapter I meant the usual. You know, death, murder, cannibalism, rape, torture, kidnapping. The list goes on and on. Skyrim isn't a nice place guys.

Previously: "We still have an internet connection."

They'd been avoiding it. When they found out that yes, they could still get on Facebook, they didn't. They instead spent their time learning how to fight from Ralof and Hadvar and working for the mill and tavern. Of course, it'd only been two days since their decision to take over the world, but it was the longest two days of their life.

The beds they slept on in their temporary homes, while they were grateful for, were hard and itchy. It wasn't cold in Riverwood, in fact it was humid, but it still wasn't what they were used to. They had lived in Amarillo, dry heat, and they weren't used to it. It didn't make working any easier.

"I always wanted to vacation in Orlando." Dick had said after their first day there. "Now I wanna go to Arizona." Brianna had joked that they could go to Elsweyr instead. After all, there's plenty of dry heat there!They weren't really accepted by their neighbors, but they didn't care. No one ever said anything, it was just silent glares, so they didn't say anything.

When they learned that they could charge their electronics with the spark spell they were ecstatic. Of course, they were until the calls started. All day, all night, the ringing of Brianna's phone haunted them. They couldn't bring themselves to answer it. What would they say? 'Hey ma, da, any other relatives on the line, my friends and I are fine! We're in a videogame, and might be murdered/raped/eaten any time we step outside, but we're fine!'

Yeah, no.

So they ignored it. And ignored it. And ignored it. Eventually Hadvar's uncle Alvor told them to get rid of the noisy Dwemer Construct, but they couldn't. And that brings them to where they are now. In the tavern again, no alcohol in front of them (Brianna didn't want it to become a habit), and the phone in front of them. They'd been staring at it for the last twenty minutes, and they still hadn't called anyone.

Brianna swallowed and picked up the phone. She dialed her father's number, but didn't press call. Would he even pick up the phone? He often told her he didn't want her there. And she was planning on leaving the second she was of age…

She sighed and stood up, leaving the tavern, and Alauna and Dick followed. She went to the outskirts of the town where no one would see them, and pressed call. Putting the phone to her ear, she listened as it rang once…Twice…

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Dad, it's me." Brianna said.

"Oh my fucking god… Where are you?! Did you run off? Were you kidnapped? Is someone listening in to this call?..." Her father rambled. Brianna's eyes watered, but she wiped them. She'd done enough crying. Alauna patted her shoulder, and Brianna looked back in thanks.

"No. No one's listening in. Alauna and Dick are here too, and we're all okay. We… We don't know if we can come home."

"What do you mean 'you don't know'? Where the fuck are you?!"

"I can't tell you that. I can tell you I'm safe, I have a roof over my head, and a full stomach. Goodbye Dad, tell my brothers I'm okay."

"Brianna? Brianna! I swear to god if you hang up this phone-

"Goodbye Dad."

"Brianna-

Beep.

Brianna wiped her eyes again and handed Alauna the phone. Alauna took it hesitantly and dialed her father's number. The phone rang once before it was picked up.

"Who is this?"

"Hey Dad. And before you say anything, yes I'm okay, no I can't come back. At least I don't think I can."

"Oh… Can I get there?"

"No, you can't. Sorry."

"Are you in danger?"

"To a point. But I'm learning how to fight from the other people here. My friends are with me too. We got each other's backs."

"Okay then… Honey, just…" A heavy sigh. "Just be careful. If someone hurts you I'll find a way to get where ever you are and kill 'em. I don't mind going to prison again. I've told you this."

"I… I know dad. I don't know how long I can keep in contact. Just… Contact a man named Carl Parrish. It's my friend's phone I'm using and I don't know when it'll go out. Keep it filled for me?"

"Sure. Anything else honey?"

"No. I love you."

"Love you too. Try to get home, and be safe."

Beep

Alauna then dialed her mother's number. The phone didn't even have a chance to ring before it was picked up.

"I swear to Mother Isis if you're the one who took my baby from me!"

"Mom, calm down! It's me!"

"Oooh my god! Are you okay? Where are you? Have you been enslaved? Did they touch you?! I swear if they touched you…"

"Yes, can't tell you, no, and no. I'm okay Mom. Brianna and Dick are here with me. We can't tell you where we are."

"You're okay?"

"Yes. No wounds or sicknesses of any kind."

"Then get your ass home! Find a water source and fucking walk! Wait… If you ran away, without leaving so much as a note saying why, then I swear I will find you, and drag you kicking and screaming back! You'll be grounded until you're thirty!"

"I didn't run away. We don't know where we are. And we weren't kidnapped. To be honest I'm thinking aliens." Dick looked at Alauna, pulling his lips down and widening his eyes. 'Hurry up.' He mouthed. Alauna nodded and sighed.

"Alauna? Alauna!"

"Mom, I gotta go. Dick still hasn't called his family, and I have things to do. Tell the rest of the family that I'm okay. Bye."

"Alauna-

Beep

The phone was tossed to Dick and he dialed his Grandma's number quickly. He had to dial again twice before it was picked up.

"Grandma? I'm calling using my friend's phone, and I'm okay."

"Little one? Oh thank goodness… Where are you?

"I can't tell you that. Just know I'm okay and not in trouble with the law for once.

"Okay little one. Stay out of trouble, don't fight anyone, and don't steal anything."

"I can't promise anything on that last one."

"Dick…"

"Okay okay. Bye Grandma."

"Bye little one."

Beep

Dick gave Brianna her phone back and they went back to the tavern. They stopped before they entered and leaned against the walls. It was silent for a while.

"Well, now that that awkwardness is over, what do we do now?" Alauna asked the other two. She looked back and forth between the two. Brianna shrugged and rubbed her neck. She didn't have a smart ass remark for once. Dick seemed to think for a moment.

"I guess we could go back to work." He said. Alauna sighed and rubbed her hands. She was tired of working. Cutting wood was easy, and she didn't have to deal with anyone, but damn did it get monotonous. And her hands hurt.

"Nah. I'm tired of chopping wood. I guess I'll hit Hadvar up for an early training session. Or maybe I'll ask Alvor for a bit of training in smithing. That seems like an interesting thing to learn." She said. Brianna shook her head.

"Nah, bad idea. You'd have to wait until nine at night. He's always working until then. And Hadvar's going to be leaving tomorrow, he's packing his things. Just go train by yourself until he's free. I'll join you later, after I get some more gold." She said. She turned to Dick. "How much gold do we have?"

"About 300 pieces."

Brianna sighed. She rubbed her eyes. It was easy to get money here, not nearly as hard as in their world, but it was harder when you weren't adventuring. And they couldn't yet. Not unless they wanted to die.

"Well, a chop of venison is five gold, and an apple is three. There's three of us. That's 24 gold for tonight's dinner. We need to hurry up and train so we can go adventuring. We'll need more money if we want Breezehome." She said. Dick nodded, and Alauna stretched.

"Well, I'll meet you guys for dinner and we'll discuss plans." She said, and then she left. Dick rolled his shoulders and went off to work, Brianna going soon afterward.

They were tired, very tired, but they weren't hungry, and they had a goal. That's more than they could say for their own world, where their only goal was 'make money' and 'go to college.'

They were on the hunt, carefully stalking an elk. It'd been another three days since they'd been taken from their homes, and they'd improved greatly. Brianna and Alauna had started to hunt outside the safety of Riverwood, and the meat and pelts they brought home allowed them all to leave their places at Alvor and Gerdur's homes, and take up residence at the tavern.

Delphine was getting used to seeing them there, and they were coming to enjoy her company. They'd bought out rooms for the next month, and their store of coin was steadily rising. They now had 2,000 coins, and it was quickly rising. They all continued to work at the tavern and mill, supplying wood, and the work was strengthening them.

Alauna and Dick had also started lessons on Smithing with Alvor. While it was hard, demanding work they were progressing quickly. They'd made their first swords the day before, and Alvor jokingly said that he'd have to take them in as apprentices.

They were much more fit them they'd been before. Their arms were hard with muscle and their stomachs were thin from the less fatty food. They felt better than they had all their lives.

Brianna moved to the left, Alauna to the right, circling around the elk, and Dick moved toward it. They used the brush as cover, and avoided the wind. Alauna and Brianna fired their bows at the same time, hitting it in the knees. It attempted to run, but tripped, and started to fall heading straight for Dick. He ran forward and cut its throat with his dagger, ending its life.

They would keep this one for themselves. There was a nip in the air that hinted at winter and the pelt would be good for warmth. The meat would also mean less money spent on food. Back at the tavern at the end of the day, they sat in the right corner table. They always sat there, and the other people that visited eventually stopped sitting there. The map from the tablet was back on the table, and they were discussing strategy.

"Okay, so I'll head to Whiterun, and persuade Jarl Balgruff to stay neutral, at least until we're strong enough for a takeover. Easier said than done, but doable." Alauna said.

"And I'll head over to the Dark Brotherhood. I may or may not be the Listener, but I can still influence things from there." Brianna said. "The sanctuary's in Falkreath, and I remember the password."

"Meanwhile, I'll go to the Thieves Guild, and get it out from Maven's thumb. I'll be the one providing funds for us. As well as a little financial terror for places we're aiming at." Dick said.

"Good, we have a plan. But there's one thing we still have to do." Brianna said.

"What's that?" Alauna asked.

"Bleak Falls Barrow, of course." Brianna said, smiling.
