“Whoa. Can you make bedrock? Can you break bedrock? Can you make spawners? Ooh, can you make shulker boxes—one second—“ Tubbo runs into one of the houses, comes out with a black chest, and puts it on the ground. “Can I have a shulker box, it’d be really cool.”

"I... don't know what any of those are, sorry."

Also she's a little uncomfortable being directly asked for stuff.

Permalink

“Aw. Okay.”

"But if you have any disturbing entities threatening the safety and sanity of everyone on the server, hit me up, I kind of want to make a streak after my fight with the mind control egg."

Permalink

“Nah, I don’t think so. Thanks though.”

"Mhm!" She gives a little wave and then wanders back to Sam, because she likes him more. Mostly because he didn't... immediately attempt to leverage her insane powers for his own gain. And he's just been really nice and calm and helpful.

"Ready to go back?" she asks him.

Permalink

“Sure.”

She teleports back first (she perfectly remembers all of the coordinates she wants to) so she can verify the coordinates she'll be teleporting him to, and then teleports him after her. They're back outside the hotel.

"Okay! Now the other way?"

Permalink

“Sure.” Past Eret’s museum: “That’s Church Prime, but I know you aren’t religious, so we can just keep going if you’d rather.”

Permalink

“Please. Though now I’m curious, what’s the main religion here?”

Permalink

“Twitch Prime.”

Permalink

“Huh. What’s it about?”

Permalink

“Getting more attention from the watchers, mostly? Same as YouTube, really, they’re just different audiences.”

Permalink

“The watchers?”

Permalink

“—Oh, does your world not have them—they’re invisible and insubstantial, they can’t affect the world, but they can watch through your eyes if you invite them to, that’s why they’re called watchers. Sometimes you can communicate with them—I don’t mostly, but I know Phil’s watchers will sometimes send him crows with messages, and Tommy prays a lot? They can’t do big stuff or anything but they voted in the elections. They usually like you more if you’re funny or important, and if they like you enough, you tend to… matter more? I’d bet you would be popular with them if you streamed—that’s what it’s called when you invite them to watch—especially after destroying the egg.”

"... Huh. That's strange. Is this like being able to know coordinates and stuff?"

Permalink

“Kind of, I guess. What did you think I meant when I talked about religion?”

Permalink

"Uh. My home tends more towards monotheism towards an all powerful creator god, that no one has met and no one can talk to, but who wrote a book one time. And sometimes people start cults where they get everyone else to agree they're a god and to do everything that they say and hang onto their every word or some such. So, one of those."

Permalink

“Oh. We don’t really have that. Just, y’know, the viewers. We also have an all-powerful creator god, I guess, that’s basically what DreamXD is, but we don’t really… have… religion…? about him. And Drista’s a god, and Foolish is kind of a god, but nobody does everything they say, it’d be weird if they did, they’ve got powers but they’re basically just people. The egg cultists do—did—whatever the egg said, I guess, but they’ve got other things going on. Church and the path and most of the stuff we call religion is more about trying to get popular with the watchers.”

Permalink

"Huh. All right. I might try streaming at some point, I suppose, if I'm ever feeling lonely."

Permalink

“It can be good for that, yeah.”

Permalink

"Right. But I don't expect to, er. Care very much about getting a lot of watchers. Actually, that sounds kind of high pressure and stressful."

Permalink

Shrug. “Depends on the person. Some people don’t stream at all, some people are really religious. As long as you’re polite about it when people are advertising themselves it’s not a big deal either way.”

Permalink

“All right. Is there a way to tell when other people are, er, streaming?”

Permalink

“I mean, you can ask.”
