Interesting use of space. But it makes sense that with so few people in such a large world with such ease of building and such relatively minimal survival needs, you'd have plenty of places built mostly to be looked at. Still, it makes her want to build a castle that's properly full of things, as full of things as a real lived-in castle would be. Lived in by something other than pink woolen birds.

Okay, she has investigated local architecture, it's time to traipse off into the wilderness again—in a completely new direction—and experiment. Today's experiment: build the minimum viable tower, basically just a ring of stairs around a central pillar, and just kind of keep going until it gets dark or she gets bored. It will probably get dark before she gets bored.

It does in fact get dark before she gets bored! It’s definitely more annoying to do things without good tools, though— without a fire aspect sword, she has to cook the animals she kills for food, and getting materials to build with is much slower without efficiency-enchanted netherite tools. 

Irksome, but in a sense valuable; it's always better to know the true worth of your materials. She'll have a much greater appreciation, later, for how easy it is to build with advanced equipment.

In the meantime, she puts a bed on a little outcropping at the top of her stairway to heaven and sleeps in it. As soon as she's up, she resumes working.

Nobody bothers her. 

If she goes up high enough, she eventually won’t be able to build any higher. 

Wow, there's all kinds of thematic implications to that.

She immediately finds the tallest hill within sight of her initial tower, and builds another one starting from there. Is the height limit absolute, or does it vary with the height of the terrain?

It’s absolute. 

"Once again, I have found Heaven," she tells the air. "Surprisingly dull place, really."

Okay, you know what she needs? She needs a bedroom that is as obnoxious as possible to enter while she's sleeping in it. She doesn't care that much about having her bedroom ransacked or destroyed while she's not in it, but being woken up with an axe was irritating.

Treehouse at the top of a heavenstair? Treehouse at the top of a heavenstair. Except then someone looking for her could just climb the huge obvious tower. She needs some kind of collapsible heavenstair, and there aren't... really... collapsible entities... in this universe.

(Are there not? What has she seen that might work?)

She looks around for an ocean to build a heavenstair from. And, while she's at it, looks around for any natural phenomena that might be slightly more collapsible than the average solid object. Hmm, she should experiment with actual ladders, see how easy they are to collect behind her on her way up...

Here's an ocean! Also, it's not a natural phenomena, but there were definitely some more hollow and spindly-looking setups around the still-in-construction parts of the stilt city? She can also experiment with ladders. She may or may not have noticed that columns of water are often used in architecture rather than stairs, but that still raises the problem of how to set it up so that nobody else can use it.

Oh, columns of water have possibilities. She detours into an exploration of how water works—buckets are a thing, right, let's start bucketing and see what happens—and determines, eventually, that she can in fact set up a platform atop a pillar with a waterfall for a ladder, swim up the waterfall, scoop up the source of the waterfall, and be all alone atop her pillar.

Some of those cobblestone paths were just kind of floating in midair.

She removes the pillar from this equation.

Okay, now she's getting somewhere.

Off she trots to find the deepest part of that ocean—if it's too close to civilization for her comfort, she'll look for a deeper ocean later—build a dirt path out into the middle of it, build a heavenstair at the end of the path, and... honestly probably have to go to sleep before she's halfway done. Maybe this time she'll work through the night.

The chat mostly isn't particularly interesting or even sensical without context, but there is something that might catch her eye significantly before night falls:

Ranboo joined the game

<Ranboo> UHH

<Thunder1408> this is probably not good

<Ranboo> eh

<Ranboo> its fine

<Ranboo> time to take over

<Dream> wtf

Ranboo was shot by Dream using [Nightmare]

<Ranboo> is it because of the weapon

<Dream> just had to give you your first death

<Kite> Dare I ask what just happened?

<Ranboo> hi

<Ranboo> im new here

<Kite> That much I gathered.

<Ranboo> uh

<Ranboo> dream killed me but thats ok

<Thunder1408> oh my good friend Thomas

<Kite> It seems to be how Dream says hello.

<Punz> follow me big man

Ranboo has made the advancement [Acquire Hardware]

<Nihachu> hello technoo

<Thunder1408> bacon

Ranboo was shot by Punz using [N U T]

Chat: pretty much back to normal. The killing Ranboo dies down after the first ten minutes or so.

As fun as it is to no longer be the greenest shoot in the garden, she's mostly occupied with construction anyway. Gotta build this heavenstair. Gotta build it so tall.

Does she end up building through the night?

Absolutely.

Heavenstair: exists!

Time to build an itty bitty bedroom, add a waterfall, and erase a lot of stairs.

That's so many stairs.

Why did she build so many stairs.

Eventually she is up in her flying bedroom with no stairs beneath her and her water-ladder safely bucketed, at which point she rather desperately wants a nap. Do naps exist in this universe? Let's find out.

No naps (unless there's a thunderstorm, but she doesn't really have a way of knowing that). Sorry.

Terrible. She is going to invent a BETTER BED that she can NAP in.

And chairs. This place really needs chairs. She didn't know how much she'd miss chairs until she was here and there were no chairs and she had to sing a whole concert watching her audience paddle themselves across the floor in boats.

But first, proof of concept having been established, she sticks the water-ladder to her doorstep and descends. It is time... to fuck around aimlessly in the wilderness. Hey, what happens if she just flattens an entire swathe of the landscape starting from the shore? Digs everything out down to sea level? Probably this would be easier with better tools but she can stick with the tools she's got for now.

What happens if she does that is that now the entire landscape will be flat.

That is flatter than any landscape she has ever seen. That is flatter than a landscape has any right to be.

She loves it.

Okay she needs to stop doing this now before her new horizontal empire reaches close enough to civilization that someone comes looking and finds her skybed. She'll just... put everything back, how about. Re-sculpt the landscape into an approximation of its prior form. Except all the stone, which she's keeping because she hasn't figured out if there's a way to turn it back into landscape stone instead of ugly chunky stone. Is there? There's got to be, right? Any ideas, recipe book?
