[Prime leads Ion up the spiral staircase to the second level, where the pool waits for them.]

[11:22:28] <?[rp] Ion> they live a peaceful life

[11:22:43] <?[rp] Prince Prime> sounds okay

[Prince dips a toe into the water. Ion lingers at the edge, something on their mind.]

[11:23:05] <?[rp] Prince Prime> do you want to go for a swim? the water's nice if you dont mind nearly freezing temperatures

[11:23:16] <?[rp] Ion> do you ever feel like theres something you've got to do but you don't know what it is?

[11:23:46] <?[rp] Prince Prime> uhhhh whenever i enter a room and forget why i came in there i think that's like that

[11:23:58] <?[rp] Prince Prime> is that like what youre saying

[11:24:17] <?[rp] Ion> yes. i came here for something. and i don't think its this. but this is what im happy doing so why?

[11:24:36] <?[rp] Prince Prime> hmmm maybe you came here because you want to help me!

[11:24:45] <?[rp] Ion> ooh what sort of help?

[11:24:52] <?[rp] Prince Prime> the resource gathering kind

[11:24:57] <?[rp] Prince Prime> well. like

[11:25:01] <?[rp] Prince Prime> specific resources.

[11:25:04] <?[rp] Prince Prime> special resources

[11:25:08] <?[rp] Ion> special

[11:25:08] <?[rp] Prince Prime> ones that make powerful stuff

[11:25:16] <?[rp] Ion> i like the sound of that!

[11:25:24] <?[rp] Prince Prime> oh!! yay!!

[11:25:42] <?[rp] Prince Prime> let's go to my library- i think i have the blueprints for what i want to craft there

[Prince leads Ion up the stairs away from the pool to his library.]

[11:26:31] <?[rp] Prince Prime> over here, okay.

[Ion twirls around as she looks at all of the books on the shelves.]

[11:26:42] <?[rp] Ion> i love this library

[11:26:53] <?[rp] Ion> it reminds me of somewhere

[11:27:06] <?[rp] Prince Prime> dont think about that

[Prime digs through the shelves before pulling out a slim roll of blue paper.]

[11:27:11] <?[rp] Prince Prime> anyways. here

[11:27:15] <?[rp] Prince Prime> ive got the thing

[11:27:21] <?[rp] Prince Prime> the blue. paper. print thing.

[11:27:27] <?[rp] Ion> the thing!!! the blue thing!!!

[Prince finds a desk and unscrolls the blueprint on top of it.]

[11:29:07] <?[rp] Ion> what does it say?

[The blueprint is composed of several diagrams, they’re complicated, written half in a mathematical dialect and half in the common language. There are three items listed and a crafting recipe for a block.]

[11:29:21] <?[rp] Prince Prime> well okay!

[11:29:27] <?[rp] Prince Prime> this. is. a blue print.

[11:29:30] <?[rp] Prince Prime> of a thing

[11:29:43] <?[rp] Ion> huh

[11:30:30] <?[rp] Prince Prime> some people call it command block, some people call it a Server Breacher, and some other people call it a Marvel in Science

[11:30:44] <?[rp] Prince Prime> however. i call it. Tom.

[11:30:51] <?[rp] Ion> tom

[11:30:53] <?[rp] Ion> nice

[11:30:58] <?[rp] Prince Prime> yes. this block's name is Tom.

[11:31:08] <?[rp] Ion> i cant wait to meet tom

[11:31:18] <?[rp] Prince Prime> Tom cannot be met! it is an object we will make

[Ion whispers quietly to the air: ]

[11:31:43] <?[rp] Ion> oh :(

[11:31:43] <?[rp] Ion> sorry tom

[11:31:33] <?[rp] Prince Prime> now there are three things that is needed to make Tom

[11:32:24] <?[rp] Prince Prime> first! we need. a piece of redstone that has been infused with amethyst.

[11:32:32] <?[rp] Prince Prime> this would be SUPREMELY rare

[11:32:34] <?[rp] Prince Prime> but they exist

[11:32:39] <?[rp] Prince Prime> somewhere around. in this world.

[11:32:36] <?[rp] Ion> oooh that sounds so prettty

[11:32:45] <?[rp] Prince Prime> there's always a few

[11:32:57] <?[rp] Prince Prime> that functions as the blood for Tom

[11:33:05] <?[rp] Ion> i see

[11:33:46] <?[rp] Prince Prime> next we need a shulker box.

[11:33:51] <?[rp] Prince Prime> not a normal shulker box!

[11:33:57] <?[rp] Prince Prime> but!! a special shulker box

[11:34:05] <?[rp] Prince Prime> why is it special?

[11:34:09] <?[rp] Ion> why?

[11:34:09] <?[rp] Prince Prime> because. of course.

[11:34:32] <?[rp] Prince Prime> it is infused, built, merged, welded, whatever the words are, with ender eyes

[11:34:49] <?[rp] Ion> woah

[11:34:51] <?[rp] Prince Prime> this would serve as Tom's body

[Ion begins counting out the three on his fingers.]

[11:35:17] <?[rp] Ion> and then? blood body - brains!

[11:35:27] <?[rp] Prince Prime> correct!

[11:35:38] <?[rp] Prince Prime> the brains of Tom... now that's verrrrrrrrrry tricky

[11:36:06] <?[rp] Prince Prime> we would need... a nether star... augmented with the soul of a real ass guy.

[11:36:18] <?[rp] Ion> huh. someones soul

[11:36:27] <?[rp] Prince Prime> mhm!

[11:36:27] <?[rp] Ion> do they really need it?

[11:36:35] <?[rp] Prince Prime> the person or Tom

[11:36:39] <?[rp] Ion> what even is a soul

[11:36:48] <?[rp] Ion> you can live without kidney things

[11:36:59] <?[rp] Ion> souls an organ yup?

[11:37:03] <?[rp] Prince Prime> souls! are. stuff that's not important to science. unless youre a soulsologist

[11:37:14] <?[rp] Ion> thats a nice word

[11:37:14] <?[rp] Prince Prime> but they can be used for our purposes

[11:37:29] <?[rp] Ion> so how do we get a soul

[11:37:40] <?[rp] Prince Prime> now that's the problem

[11:37:43] <?[rp] Prince Prime> souls are tricky

[11:37:47] <?[rp] Prince Prime> and super fucked up

[11:38:14] <?[rp] Prince Prime> like. im not entirely sure how we could get one?

[11:38:18] <?[rp] Prince Prime> without at least

[11:38:25] <?[rp] Prince Prime> sacrificing one of these untitled guys

[11:38:59] <?[rp] Prince Prime> ...

[11:39:00] <?[rp] Prince Prime> question

[11:39:11] <?[rp] Prince Prime> do you have anyone that you wouldnt particularly miss if theyre gone

[11:39:07] <?[rp] Ion> maybe they have a spare? some of them are really strange creatures you know. i bet we could find one at verde drug

[11:39:16] <?[rp] Prince Prime> oooh!!

[11:39:20] <?[rp] Prince Prime> well

[11:39:30] <?[rp] Prince Prime> i wouldnt be so stoked, i shop there often, and they dont usually sell souls

[11:39:39] <?[rp] Prince Prime> sadly

[11:39:52] <?[rp] Ion> oh, well clearly the market hasn't been cornered yet

[11:39:58] <?[rp] Prince Prime> exactly!

[11:40:03] <?[rp] Prince Prime> although saying this...

[11:40:12] <?[rp] Prince Prime> in a pinch i guess, we could use myself...

[11:40:22] <?[rp] Ion> would it hurt?

[11:40:27] <?[rp] Prince Prime> probably honestly

[11:40:35] <?[rp] Ion> do you need to cut it out or something?

[11:40:44] <?[rp] Ion> can you live without it?

[11:40:46] <?[rp] Prince Prime> maybe?

[11:40:48] <?[rp] Prince Prime> idk really

[11:40:59] <?[rp] Prince Prime> i mean im two guys literally

[11:41:07] <?[rp] Ion> oh

[11:41:17] <?[rp] Prince Prime> so im sure if one of us gets thrown into Tom, itll work somewhat

[Ion frowns at Prime.]

[11:41:28] <?[rp] Ion> but i like both of you

[11:41:58] <?[rp] Prince Prime> well dont like us too much, one of us gots to be Tom's Brain

[11:42:17] <?[rp] Ion> huh what a predicament

[11:42:12] <?[rp] Prince Prime> unless you got someone you wanna kidnap and steal their soul

[11:42:16] <?[rp] Prince Prime> like ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[11:42:22] <?[rp] Prince Prime> that joco fella

[11:42:29] <?[rp] Ion> joco?

[11:42:39] <?[rp] Prince Prime> he doesnt seem to be doing anything with it tbh

[11:42:42] <?[rp] Prince Prime> he's lived a while

[Slowly: ]

[11:43:09] <?[rp] Ion> yes i suppose

[11:43:02] <?[rp] Prince Prime> what has he ever done? be annoying during a festival?

[Ion scrunches up their eyes.]

[11:43:25] <?[rp] Ion> no

[11:43:30] <?[rp] Ion> nonono

[11:43:31] <?[rp] Prince Prime> no?

[11:43:34] <?[rp] Ion> nope

[11:43:40] <?[rp] Ion> i mean what

[11:43:46] <?[rp] Ion> um

[Ion shifts. Prime blinks slowly at Ion.]

[11:44:07] <?[rp] Prince Prime> i heard you say no, ion

[11:44:11] <?[rp] Ion> thats nothing ignore me

[11:44:16] <?[rp] Prince Prime> do you like joco?

[11:44:34] <?[rp] Ion> why would i like joco? i barely know joco?

[11:44:39] <?[rp] Prince Prime> exactly

[11:44:48] <?[rp] Prince Prime> i sense some hesitation

[11:45:02] <?[rp] Ion> i don't know what you mean

[Ion straightens their back.]

[11:45:06] <?[rp] Ion> lets do it

[11:45:14] <?[rp] Prince Prime> okay then!

[They nod quickly.]

[11:45:16] <?[rp] Ion> one soul, coming up

[11:45:21] <?[rp] Prince Prime> joco soul stealing operation!

[11:45:27] <?[rp] Prince Prime> well, we'll do that later on

[Prime makes a note on the blueprints.]

[11:45:35] <?[rp] Prince Prime> still gotta. put in the notes on how to do that operation

[11:45:44] <?[rp] Prince Prime> but im sure its gonna come to me

[11:45:55] <?[rp] Ion> of course, got to be prepared

[11:46:02] <?[rp] Prince Prime> mhm!

[11:46:10] <?[rp] Prince Prime> extracting a soul is very painful as well

[11:46:18] <?[rp] Prince Prime> i said "probably" before, but like tbh?

[11:46:23] <?[rp] Ion> of course

[11:46:25] <?[rp] Prince Prime> soul-straction? incredibly painful

[11:46:40] <?[rp] Prince Prime> like, "im dying for 1000 years in one second" painful

[11:46:54] <?[rp] Prince Prime> like "im being burnt alive from the inside out" painful

[11:47:06] <?[rp] Prince Prime> like "i have to die now" painful

[11:47:06] <?[rp] Ion> why are you telling me this?

[Prime shrugs. He rolls up the blueprints and then shoves them into his chest, where the sculk molds around them.]

[11:47:17] <?[rp] Prince Prime> dunno, just seems cool to know

[11:47:32] <?[rp] Prince Prime> we're gonna be putting this guy through unimaginable pain

[He begins leading Ion out of the room.]

[11:48:05] <?[rp] Ion> i suppose

[11:48:27] <?[rp] Ion> fascinating library

[11:48:43] <?[rp] Prince Prime> yea! thank u

[Ion’s eyes refocus as they begin to move out of the library.]

[11:49:39] <?[rp] Ion> that was ...

[11:49:43] <?[rp] Ion> huh

[11:49:47] <?[rp] Prince Prime> what's up

[11:49:57] <?[rp] Ion> i don't know

[11:50:18] <?[rp] Prince Prime> really?

[11:50:31] <?[rp] Prince Prime> was something happening that i wasnt aware of

[11:50:45] <?[rp] Ion> you know when you wake up and the dream seems more real than the real?

[11:50:54] <?[rp] Ion> like opposite

[11:51:02] <?[rp] Prince Prime> i guess?

[Ion shivers.]

[11:51:17] <?[rp] Prince Prime> you doing alright?

[11:51:23] <?[rp] Prince Prime> are you thinking too much?

[11:51:26] <?[rp] Ion> i

[11:51:30] <?[rp] Ion> yea i must be

[11:51:39] <?[rp] Prince Prime> yeah, you just gotta not do that

[11:51:45] <?[rp] Ion> i thought i was cold for a second

[She laughs, nervous.]

[11:51:50] <?[rp] Ion> being ridiculous

[11:51:51] <?[rp] Prince Prime> we've got stuff to do later on

[11:52:00] <?[rp] Prince Prime> actually

[11:52:09] <?[rp] Prince Prime> we're probably gonna be travelling to far away places

[11:52:17] <?[rp] Prince Prime> do you have elytra?

[11:52:25] <?[rp] Ion> i do.

[11:52:30] <?[rp] Prince Prime> good

[Prime makes grabby hands.]

[11:52:31] <?[rp] Prince Prime> give me em

[11:52:37] <?[rp] Prince Prime> i can make em better

[11:52:40] <?[rp] Ion> ok

[Ion turns around and takes off the elytra in a smooth motion, he hands it over to Prime. Prime’s hands begin to glow, and sculk begins to creep into the membrane of the elytra itself. It seems to act as a living skin over the original elytra, and glows with bioluminescence, but it doesn’t flare completely to sentient life.]

[11:53:43] <?[rp] Ion> oh woah

[Prime hands them back.]

[11:53:50] <?[rp] Prince Prime> here you go!

[11:53:56] <?[rp] Prince Prime> give it a spin

[Ion flips the elytra over her shoulders, fastening them into place.]

[11:54:05] <?[rp] Ion> my poncho <3

[11:54:07] <?[rp] Prince Prime> hell yeah you look great with that

[Ion tests out the wings, which seem to move much more easily at their command now.]

[11:54:24] <?[rp] Ion> smooth flying :)

[11:54:31] <?[rp] Prince Prime> awesome!

[11:54:48] <?[rp] Prince Prime> so now, wherever you go, you have a piece of me with you

[11:54:52] <?[rp] Prince Prime> not sentient though

[11:54:56] <?[rp] Prince Prime> unlike. "Scarm"

[11:55:31] <?[rp] Ion> prince, do you think the sculk is watching

[11:55:36] <?[rp] Ion> all the time?

[11:55:37] <?[rp] Prince Prime> pfft

[11:55:39] <?[rp] Prince Prime> of course not

[11:55:45] <?[rp] Prince Prime> they dont have eyes

[11:55:51] <?[rp] Prince Prime> they listen.

[11:56:21] <?[rp] Prince Prime> and through the transitive property of me being 50% of it. means me as well :]

[11:56:14] <?[rp] Ion> i listen and sometimes i just -

[11:56:43] <?[rp] Prince Prime> you just what?

[11:56:58] <?[rp] Ion> whats it called when you're cold but you're not?

[11:57:14] <?[rp] Prince Prime> no clue

[11:57:15] <?[rp] Ion> skin goes bumpy, hair stands up

[11:57:17] <?[rp] Prince Prime> hallucinating?

[11:57:20] <?[rp] Prince Prime> scared??

[11:57:27] <?[rp] Ion> nah

[11:57:20] <?[rp] Ion> never mind

[11:57:43] <?[rp] Ion> we were on a quest right? that amethyst stuff?

[11:57:49] <?[rp] Prince Prime> yeee

[11:57:57] <?[rp] Ion> lead on!

[11:58:30] <?[rp] Prince Prime> redstone-amethyst, ender shulker, and nether star with soul in it

[11:58:41] <?[rp] Ion> easy peasy

[11:58:50] <?[rp] Prince Prime> yeha!! now youre getting it

[11:59:01] <?[rp] Prince Prime> well how about we spread out and try to find it then?

[11:59:17] <?[rp] Prince Prime> and if and when we do, we go to where it is, and take it

[11:59:15] <?[rp] Ion> where do i look? everywhere?

[11:59:19] <?[rp] Prince Prime> hmmmmm

[11:59:59] <?[rp] Prince Prime> the redstonemethyst are in geodes, the ender shulker you can technically craft, and the soul star is something we have to sacrifice joco to

[12:00:15] <?[rp] Ion> joco that wasn't

[12:00:17] <?[rp] Prince Prime> so the redstonemethyst will probably be anywhere

[12:00:23] <?[rp] Ion> yes

[12:00:28] <?[rp] Prince Prime> lots of places to comb

[12:00:34] <?[rp] Ion> well better start looking

[Ion flies off. Prime stays on the ground and watches them go, he furrows his brow for a moment, and then shakes his head, before beginning his own search.]
