#playing minecraft

modern au btw but like college age

during the first year at college, everyone started getting gaming consoles

dustin has a pimped out pc that he built himself

mike & lucas have ps5

max & will have xbox

and jane has an old ps4

their world is named 'the upside down'

will builds everyones houses & focuses on making a village for the party to live in

he barely goes mining, and has a low af xp level

which mike 10000% makes fun of him for

mike & lucas are both mining constantly

and they are fighting bosses, looking for ancient cities and trial chambers, and massacre-ing villages

as helpful as it is, the constant yelling at each other to help because the other is dying, is getting annoying

lucas is like a half a heart, and mike is fucking around looking for diamonds

"chill, i'll be there in a second," "MIKE IM FUCKING DYING"

max on the other hand is across the map for funsies

she just wants to goooooo bro

she doesn't want to settle down (even though will made her a beautiful house) she needs to fill out the empty maps she has

she does bring back the random shit will needs for building, or the flowers jane really wants

if shes in their village, it's because she has a bunch of villagers she kidnapped to trade with

she also trades with the piglins in the nether

god forbid she's in the nether with mike & lucas though

she'll be trying to go somewhere & then gets thrown into lava by tnt exploding

they just need more netherite!!

dustin already finished the game actually

he's been ahead of them

but now he's just making redstone creations & making automatic farms

he's also online alllll night

someone else joins at a reasonable time and is like "dustin wtf are you doing on here???"

he's like 5 redbulls in "im telling you this farm is gonna save soooo much time"

but he also is getting better grades in school than all of them ??? so no one really questions it

jane is getting used to video games still and minecraft is weird to her

she loves it, but the motions give her motion sickness after a while

she's collecting everything though

flowers, animals, the patterened pots, everythingggg

she's got a beautiful farm with every color of sheep

and multiple flower fields

she refuses to go into the nether, all she needs is in the overworld fr

will tries to get johnathan to play with everyone and he's all like "i dont think i like looking at a screen for that long'

so they go to steve next, who ofc is down, but then johnathan is like 'fuck it i guess ill play'

they were on the party's world for a little bit, but then moved to 1v1 pvp maps to compete

steve also has his own world where he is trying to get every achievement available

robin also tries to play and she just can'tttttt get ahold of the whole survival thing

constantly falling off cliffs, drowning in lava, getting killed by baby zombies

but when dustin is like finally confused about a redstone thing, she understands whats happening now

everyone pretty much plays for like a few months before moving onto another video game, but they will keep coming back to minecraft every so often, get obsessed, then forget again lmao
