Chapter Text
Knock knock..
Wato was chilling, flipping through his notes when he notices Kenadian opening the door. She seemed okay although she was gone for a while, Wato observes her from the corner of his eye before focusing his sight on the pages infront of him. He didnt have much left to do so he started writing as he listened to her voice.
"Hey Wato, how've ya been?" Kenadian practically whispers as she settles down, placing her helmet on the desk. She scrapes off the dirt and vines on it, not out of character for her to have the most random things stuck to her armor.
"Not much going on, I gave them the build design; They apparently wanna build it themselves." Right right, Wato had been paid to make an escape room, but it was decided last second that the client will simply take the design and build it with their own team. "you.. dont look too good, Ken?"
"To be honest, I'm getting bored of just sitting around making prisons, getting kidnapped.. you get the deal" Kenadian ignores Wato's question "Don't you think- don't- I think there's more we could do, I don't know how many times i have to bring that up."
Kenadian gives Wato some time to think, he eventually gets up and looks in his inventory "I see your point, there's alot we have not seen yet." pulling out an enderchest as he finishes talking.
"I bet you, you have not heard of the election, the chaos at spawn, the whole server safety situation- We've just kinda been in the background barely aware of what's happening outside."
Wato's interest was captured, "Election.. Spawn.." What election? What did spawn look like? He had many questions but as soon as he opened his mouth Kenadian interrupts "Asides from all "
Wato sighs and shoves his unfinished notes in a shulker box, and closes his enderchest.
Kenadian grabbed her helmet, her tail is now wagging slowly. She looks at Wato, tightening her grip on the helmet. "Asides from that.. What do you say Wato? you think it's time for some action, or do we just stay here doing nothing for the rest of our lives."
Wato notices and decides to gear up aswell, "You know what, an adventure doesn't sound too bad Ken." he says, and kenadian is immediately cheering.
"Yeah! There are many locations in the server, you got an idea on where to go first?" She asks him, Wato thinks for a bit, clearing his throat as he glances back at the bookshelves behind him.
"I have a book with location names, but barely any actual coords" He looks down at the bottom shelf, snatching a book from it and showing it to Kenadian. "Shit.. do we have to ask around?" Wato shakes his head, extending his arm and offering a hand to Kenadian "It can save us time I suppose. say, you just told me that spawn is different, I want to see it." Kenadian hesitantly takes the offer, "You sure?"
"I'm 100% sure." He states, walking out dragging ken alongside him.
They both leave the base, looking over the horizon on a cliff where they hid their base in, the sun was setting and the sky was beautiful. Purple and Orange mixed together nicely, clouds covered the sides of the sun as it moved downwards behind the two neighboring mountains. The remaining light hitting the grass in a pleasant way. Even Wato stopped in his tracks to admire it, Kenadian pulls out her camera and captures the view, "We.. picked the perfect time, didn't we? Oh yeah right Wato lead the way!" she giggles as she playfully bumped his shoulder with her elbow.
Wato lets go of her hand and points down "Alright alright." Both of them get down the cliff using their water buckets, Taking one last look at their base before setting off with elytras. They didn't have the best supply of fireworks so Kenadian suggested that they should be more conservative of them. This would be a long run but it'd be worth it in the end.
----
They have definitely seen a handful of folks as they made their way to spawn, asking them about the locations in Wato's book however did not help. It seemed hopeless but all they had to do was find someone actually helpful. Kenadian bites into another golden carrot as she exchanges looks between Wato.
"I do not know what these locations are but are you interested in.. gambling?" a random chungie was speaking to them, "No we aren't much of gamblers.." Kenadian responded with.
"That's impossible! You seem like stacked sweats! you guys definitely should try, there is a secret place in merchant city where you GAMBLE EVERYTHING AND WIN PRIZES!! I PROMISE IT HAS HELLA LOOT I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT REGREETT ITTTTTTT" was the last thing they heard before instantly taking off and sprinting to hide from the random guy.
They heard loud footsteps echo above them with yells alongside it, before it faded into nothing. Kenadian could not hold it in and let out a cackle, Wato next to her started to chuckle aswell, the situation was amusing AND time-wasting.
"I certainly would also.. be mad if 'stacked players' didn't want to gamble in my very well built casino.." Wato joked, chuckles turning into poorly hidden laughter, taking deep breaths as his stomach started to hurt, hugging his knees. "I would also be pissed i can't liee..." Kenadian added, standing up dusting off her armor (despite there being barely any dust).
They eventually got out, Wato following behind Kenadian slowly as she digged themselves out with her shovel, scanning the area around them. Kenadian exhaled loudly right before turning to Wato "let's just.. continue now. I still gotta show you spawn." Her smile evident now, Wato was chewing on his carrot so he put up a thumbs up.
Kenadian hit F3 to see where they were, Snapping her head in the direction of spawn her tail wagged again. She grins at Wato and starts walking in the correct path.
----
Wato definitely noticed a bunch wrong with spawn as he walked around. There were lava casts, stone and dirt pillars, unfinished oak wood houses, obsidian paths, and most importantly: He noticed a wither health bar. "Ken why are there withers?" he asked, "Don't worry about it Wato, its just daily activities at spawn.". And soon enough, one became two, then three, then four..
"is this an active warzone you're leading me into-"
"Chill Wato, just don't aggro one of them."
"Ah of course, just don't get spotted out in the open while there's a million withers."
"You'll be fine, we can kill the wither together anyway I've got your back."
And so, they began asking players around spawn about the locations, heading away from the chaos to the obsidian path that leads to Capital City. They eventually found one guy that knows where The Deep Sea is.
"So you head into Capital City, there you should go left (correct me if I'm wrong), and you should see a station, it has dolphins and leads you can take, Ask around and they'll show you the way." The guy explained.
"So you're saying.. go left, find a station, dolphins, ways, ask.. Correct?" Wato questions the guy. "Yup, you should find some nice folks working there, you'll have to pay though so just have some quick loot on you, bro."
"To the Capital we go, Wat-o?" Kenadian took her eyes off the guy, Scratching her neck. "Yeah, yeah to Capital City, thank you have a good day" Wato thanked the guy, grateful for the lead he gave them.
"Stay safe!"
Wato and Kenadian head off to the city, Wato pretty much zoned out thinking about everything, how fascinated he was, while Kenadian lead the way happily. They arrive at the gates but come face to face with the guards. "We just wanna visit, we're trynna get into the great sea?" Kenadian asks the guards and they are both let in.
They find the building the guy from earlier was talking about, Wato decided to do all the speaking and Kenadian followed behind him, they got leads and a dolphin for both of them.. it was great. They got in the water tunnels and from there it was simply silence. They talked about daily things and weird situations. But there was a lingering question on Wato's mind.
"So Ken, Just wondering.. Why'd you look so tired when you came back?"
"Hmm, Welll I originally came back because I wanted to ask you about our client, I got tangled in vines when walking through a jungle and I did not wanna put up with that."
"I see.. What made you want to well, explore instead?"
"You know how active my brain is, I think of everything and nothing at once! it kinda came to me a couple hundred blocks away so I rolled with it and here we are now." Wato nodded, focused on the tunnel. Kenadian rambled on about some weird cave she saw.
"It was circular, and one block tunnels were everywhere! water did not flow, though i think lag would cause that. and the worst part is, THERE WAS A SIGN WITH NOTHING ON IT! I decided to stay in the cave, and when i finally found another opening I saw.. noooothingggg~ it disappointed me." Kenadian frowned, Wato smirked ever so slightly "Did you think you'd find secrets of the law in there? you sound more disappointed than usual." he added. "It was a cool cave, end of story."
Wato slowly stopped, the tunnel ended after what felt like so long, but Kenadian didn't realize and went face-first into a wall "OW, the hell- Oh wait we made it!" she exclaimed after looking up.
