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?"

Permalink

"Villagers are usually people."

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"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.

Permalink

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

Permalink

"They seem useful to know about."

Permalink

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

Permalink

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

Permalink

"Yeah, he wanted to see. 'S everything fine?"

Permalink

"...Sure." He's definitely looking at Jingyan a bit warily, though. "Just don't break any of my stuff, alright, mate? Or kill the villager, I'll be fuckin' pissed if you kill the villager."

Permalink

That gets, like, half of an eyeroll. "It'll be fine."

The villager: seems... humanoid? Not the same size or shape as a human, but not necessarily weirder than Fundy or Ranboo. He? It? is blocked in, but just with wood, and it's a way that would be trivially easy to escape, and doesn't seem to be trying. As promised, makes "hrnnnnn" noises, and exchanges books for emeralds.

Permalink

"I do not plan to kill anyone." He is the best at awkward situations. You aim for blank (--and land on angry) and try and get out of the situation as fast as possible. And Philza-- could be worse. It's a low bar, but he manages to clear it.

The villager is-- worryingly humanoid. But seeing as it does not try to talk or escape, hopefully it is more along the lines of a book creating chicken than a person. "That is definutely not the same as the villagers I am used to."

Permalink

"Well, see, there you go."

And once they're out of Philza's house: "Sorry, I didn't realize you and Philza had--whatever that was--with each other, I would've taken you to Eret's. Unless you have issues with Eret too, I guess. At that point I might be out of villagers I can show you. I could ask Sam, I guess?"

Permalink

"I do not think I need to see multiple? And Phil and I are-- fine."

Permalink

“I meant hypothetically. If I had known before that—but if you and Phil are fine, that’s great! That’s cool.”

Permalink

"It is."

Permalink

“…Okay but like seriously though the vibes in that room were really fucking weird, like, damn, what happened to you guys? —You don’t have to tell me, I guess, we can just, like, go do more target practice or whatever. Just confused me is all.”

Permalink

"We had a discussion about Ghostbur."

Permalink

“And I assume it didn’t go well?”

Permalink

"It went about as well as it could."

Permalink

…That makes absolutely no sense, because lots of people have had conversations with Philza about Ghostbur, including Tubbo himself, that did not end with… whatever… that… was. 

But also Tubbo’s already pushed it probably more than he should have. “Right. Um, fair enough. Want to fight some more and then call it a day?”

Permalink

"Sounds good." Anything to escape this line of inquiry.

Permalink

“Cool. Loser has to clean the place up afterwards.” Then Jingyan can be introduced to some combat techniques he hasn’t encountered yet—mostly based around placing blocks during the fight, which wasn’t allowed during their earlier duel—by means of Tubbo attacking him and then placing blocks between them and pillaring up before Jingyan can hit back. 

Permalink

Jingyan is very much not used to the ease of building in this world, not yet. But he cannot deny the tactical usefulness.

Tubbo beats him handily.
