“Hell yeah. We could play too but it’s not as fun, we already know where everything is. I could set up a target here just for practice, though.”

(Meanwhile, elsewhere on the server: Dream is putting a mildly unreasonable amount of effort into speedrunning hitting all the targets; Fundy has decided to dig up the mechanisms in order to just steal all of the diamonds.)

"Practice would definitely be worthwhile. I still have to get used to the bows here."

Tubbo can set that up! …And also detour real fast to steal either some arrows or an infinity bow for Jingyan to use, whichever he finds first. Oh hey here’s an infinity bow, that was easy. 

...He is not used to bows being able to just... produce arrows out of thin air. This shouldn't be working. Why.

"One day I will get used to this, and will find normal bows just as strange, but--" 

"--I mean, most bows can't do that, it's the enchantment on it. I mean, most swords can't set things on fire but fire aspect swords totally can. I can put that one back and get you a non-enchanted one if you want but then I'd have to find arrows and it'd be a whole thing."

"It's fine-- I'm just not used to infinite arrows or fiery swords even being a possibility." He shoots the target. It's a little off centre.

“Yeah, you’ll get used to it. Enchantments are great.”

"They're very useful. --I'm going to have to get some more xp and see about getting fire aspect."

"Alright, alright, I'm excited. --Oh, I should ask around if there are any mending villagers, I have a bunch of emeralds to trade for enchantments but I dunno where the villagers are anymore."

"This country has villagers?" That would make sense, otherwise the population of the nation is ten or so people, which is patently ridiculous.

"Uh, I don't think so. Phil has one? Techno used to have a bunch but then he, like, moved, so. I think Eret has some? We've had villagers before, just, like, we're kind of coming off getting blown up, so."

"...Phil has a villager. Singular."

"...Yes? XD doesn't allow villager breeding, if that's what you're confused about, he'd probably go to more effort to get more otherwise."

"Breeding? XD? --I feel like we have to be using the same words to refer to different things." Why would you be... directly intervening... in your villagers reproducing. Why has Philza kidnapped a man. What is going on.

"Oh. Um, villagers are--they, like, do different jobs depending which block you give them. And they say hrrrrrrrrn a lot. XD's--the admin? Of the server. DreamXD, technically, but I call him XD to distinguish. Technically the rules are no stealing, no griefing, no going to the end, no iron farms, no duping, no villager breeding, but the first two don't really get enforced ever. The others do, though, I used to have a villager farm and then XD killed them all, it sucked. ...I am not going to explain what breeding is, you can--" ask Tommy for that. "--you know, it's probably the same, and if it's not, I do not particularly want to be the one to explain what sex is. Like, no offense, but you look like you're twice my age at least."

That's a string of nouns. And he is not entirely clear on what a villager is, other than 'probably not what he expects them to be.'

"I-- know what sex is. Usually one is... involved in the... process of choosing partners for those under your care?"

Okay now Tubbo's confused. "It's.... like with animals? You find two and give them some food and--well, villagers also need enough beds, I think--and then....you know?"

"Villagers are usually people."

"Oh. I don't think our villagers are people? They don't seem like people. They just say hrrrrrrrn and stuff. I guess maybe that's just a different language? Wow, have we been doing slavery? That's fucked up. I don't think they're people, though, so that's fine."

"I think this is a case of things working very differently here. Like the way things fall." He is going to assume this for the sake of his own sanity.

"Yeah, probably. I can show you some if you want to see?"

"They seem useful to know about."

Then Tubbo will lead him to Philza's house! "Hi Phil! We just wanted to see your villager."

To Tubbo: "Hey mate! ...Jingyan's here too, I see."
