i had a dream where i was writing this fic:
- where dsmp phil and techno somehow anger xd and the god sends them away to another dimension
- with a cruel smile xd tells them, “you’re welcome to come back to the dream smp, that is, if you find a way,”
- and the two find themselves flung into a grassy field in osmp
- its not long until they bump into osmp!phil whose wings are large, undamaged, and different. who flies freely into the air while dsmp!phil is grounded on the unforgiving earth
- osmp!phil gives them a confused and wary look but once they explain the situation, the other man smiles at them in a way that dsmp!phil has forgotten
- techno suggests they ask for the help from the admin of the server
- osmp!phil slowly asks them if they really want to do that and the two of them adamantly say its the best choice they have
- so osmp!phil takes them to the pub(e) where they bump into a fully enderman osmp!ranboo who, after the first double take on there being two phils and a different looking techno, cheerily tells them that the regulars of the pub(e) are at home so its just them
- and of course the above average boy, who is in his office
- osmp!phil knocks on the door of the office which, to dsmp!phil and techno’s horror, has the words “innit incorporated” carved onto it
- and lo and behold, chickeninnit in his endearing above average glory opens the door
- after the initial shock of tommy being the admin of this sort of parallel universe server, they talk about the circumstances of their arrival and how to get back to the dsmp
- which is a little hard cause they don’t even know who dream is, as he’s not even present in this server and possibly in this universe
- but their discussion goes a lot smoother than they thought because while osmp!tommy still curses and talks loudly and throws jabs, he doesn’t seem to hold any resentment for them
- he’s also a lot softer and less clumsy than their own tommy, probably due to his avian traits (which is another thing that’s a bit strange to get used to as their own tommy is fully human)
- and most of the side babble he’d do is just to talk about how he looks up to osmp!phil and how he’s the hero of the server and osmp!phil would laugh and ruffle his hair fondly. (and with their wings they’d almost look like father and son)
- something that dsmp!phil has never even considered with their own tommy, who did use to look up to him in a way, but now there’s a rift between them because of the wars. (and that they don’t even know each other that well in the first place, only meeting because of wilbur)
- even then though, they didn’t get too far anywhere. but osmp!tommy tells them he’d try his best to help them, so for now they just need to find a place to stay
- osmp!phil offers to show them around but before they can say anything, osmp!tommy tells him to wait at the bottom of the pub(e) because they have a little more to discuss but not so important that osmp!phil has to stick around to hear it
- osmp!phil leaves and tells them he’d be waiting at the bottom, to which they turn to osmp!tommy who’s looking out through the balcony
- the door behind them clicks shut and locked
- surprised by being caught off guard, they both turn to see osmp!ranboo guarding the door
- dsmp!techno’s hand immediately flies to his axe but is distracted by phil exclaiming as his comms gets snatched from his coat and seemingly floats(?) to osmp!tommy
- who thanks what seems to be thin air before it ripples and a semi-transparent wilbur appears beside him
- the mood shifts drastically
- and they’re suddenly aware of while osmp!tommy is strangly different from dsmp!tommy, that doesn’t necessarily mean he was better
- because osmp!tommy is now smiling at them in a more sinister way, and the way he holds his hands together means business
- “your situation here is very interesting,” he would say, “but i don’t do things for free,”
- “outsiders and newcomers have been causing chaos is my server, and you two might make it worse,”
- “honestly, a waste of resources to keep you. i could just get rid of you two and tell phil that i got you back to your home,”
- techno slowly asks him what they could do to get out of this precarious situation
- and osmp!tommy laughs as wilbur hands him a piece of paper
- “im glad you asked,” he’d say, “you could sign this contract and work for me and i’ll consider helping you,”
- and they’re forced to make a bargain and think their way through a business deal because they have no power here despite their ideologies and what else can they do
- they eventually agree to a contract in exchange for help getting back to the dsmp, and the contract will end once the way back is available
- and they shake hands and sign papers and both of them have this sinking feeling like they might have gotten themselves into something serious
- “innit incorporated thanks you for your services,” tommy calls as they are roughly ushered out of the office, “best of luck!”
- and the door slams at their faces
