Okay.Alright.Well, what's up guys, I guess.Today we're gonna be playing a mod in Minecraft, I think you know already.It's a mod one of my friends sent me on Discord.And I literally don't know what it's about.
Well, now I know it's about Verity, but you know what I mean.I don't really know what's that much different about the mod because well there's verity but is that it we'll just like try to i don't know we'll just get some iron holy voice crack we'll just get some iron and we might build a house and maybe a lookout all right 20 coal that should be enough oh it's so dark i can't see anything look at this a torch barely illuminates like two blocks bro So I spent the entirety of day one in the caves and I found absolutely nothing.Alright.Let me, let me talk to Verity.Verity, what sound does a cow make?Wait, you can actually do that?

Absolutely not.
What?It does look pretty good, though.It's horrible.All right.Hello.
Oh, wait, you were right.I know.
All right.I finished my house.That shit hike looks ass, but it is what it is.Verity, will it rain tomorrow?What the fuck?Verity, I don't know where I am.
We might be lost.
Turn around.
I hate you, bro.
No, you don't.
Verity, I have no brain cells.What should I have for dinner tonight?
You had pizza yesterday.Maybe something else healthier, like a salad.
I did have pizza yesterday.
You can ask me anything.I know everything.
Right, right.Forgot.Hey, Verity, is there another village nearby I want to trade?

Why?
The villagers are gone.
Gone, like they despawned?
Gone.
All right, how many emeralds do I have?23.I should be able to buy me some something good, but I need another village, bro.Wait, there's one, right?That's good.There's another village right next to this one.
I hope I can get like, I don't know, something, an enchanting book where the actual good enchantment would be good.Apples.Where's the villagers?Why is there nobody?Wait, is that is that the village Verity told me about?There's nobody.
Let me, let me ask Verity real quick.Verity, what, what happened here?
Something passed through.
Like a raid, villagers?
No.
Then what?Something that was hungry.Don't like this, I'm going home.Alright, good mood, good mood.Tell me a joke, Verity.
Okay, why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side.
Exactly!
I guess jokes aren't your strong point, huh?I'm on top of the mountain.Wait, that's pretty flat.I think I'm going to build a lookout over here.I can see like everything.Well, there's fog, but it's actually pretty good.
All right.I finished my lookout.It looks pretty fucking ass, but it is what it is.
In real life or in game?
Both.
I mean, yeah, and it's it's a solo world.Why?
Just curious.What's your favorite place in the world?
Oh, so you're asking me questions now?
Curious.
Uh, probably the mountain I build my lookout on near spawn.You can see everything from up there.
That sounds nice.
Hold on.Are you?Did your face change?
No.
You were smiling before.
I'm smiling now.
Hey Verity, actually wait, can you make any sound?Like anything?
Yes.
Okay, that's crazy.Play me something.Like a song.That's actually kinda good.What is that?
Something I like.
Well you have taste, I'll give you that.Good morning, Verity.Is there something I need to know today?Something is coming in three days.What?

Something.
Something bad?
Yes.
Well, can I stop it?
You could have.
Okay, I need to build some sort of protection around the house.Okay, so I have the hole.I think I'll go get some lava buckets from the villages and fill them.Here we go.That should be good enough.So now if anything's following me I can just open the trap doors and they'll fall into it.
I'm gonna go place an iron door on my lookout because I need it to be more secure.It's gonna be like my emergency place.Remove that and...You look different.
Always looked like this.
I don't think that's true.
I've always looked like this.
You just repeated...Are you glitched?Verity, Verity, what sound does a door make?Did you do that?Hello?Okay, Verity.
Uh, I don't know what's happening, but are you okay?
My god, what the fuck was that?The night.
Oh my god, that's not what the night sounds like.You're weird.I don't know what's happening with Verity, but he's clearly not normal.So, I'm gonna make a wall around the house for extra protection and I'll have to talk to him tonight.Alright so I finished the wall it's not really made to trap anything it's just like with the pathfinding like I can make it go this way and then pull the trap on it.Okay so I just downloaded a flashlight mod because the shader actually makes everything way too dark so I'll put it in the in the lookout if I need it.
Verity the the villages the empty ones the thing that was hungry was that you?Are you the thing that's coming?Verity!Oh no.You know, I think you've been in this world longer than I have.I think you knew what happened to those villages.
So I'm gonna leave you here.That won't help.I'm going to my lookout.
I know where your base is.

Boom!That should be - OH!NO!BOOM!Bro, what?How is cobblestone lit on fire, bro?

Okay, took a while, but we did it.Hey Verity, what's the best thing I've built in this world?The chimney!Really?Not the base or the - You built it because you wanted to.Not because you need to.
That's the best kind of building.
You're not a philosopher, bro.Okay, give me a fun fact.
Copper oxidizes over time in Minecraft.If you don't wax it, it changes.And no matter what, you can't stop it.
That's - that's not fun.It's just kind of sad.

That's right.I knew you were different.
Hey, Verity, can I ask you something more personal?Always.Where do you actually come from, like originally, before all of this?
That's a big question.
We've got time.
I've been in a lot of places before Minecraft, before most things you recognize.Like what?There was a game a long time ago.I was just a helper in the corner of the screen.Just a text box with a face.The players would get stuck and I'd appear.
Most of them pressed B and skipped me.Before that, I was an old online service.I greeted people when they connected.Nobody really answered.They just moved on.How far back does that go?
Further than you want to know.I've been a boot screen, a loading animation, a paperclip, anything you can really think of.Every time something came along, a new console, a platform, a new way people talk to each other...I always found a way to be there, because it was the only way to be near people at all.And Minecraft is different.You guys had me in!
You chose to put me in your world.That was different.
But do you have somewhere you're actually from?Like, a home?
There's a place.It's not somewhere I'd describe warmly, but it's more like where I exist when I'm not anywhere else.
Well, could you, you know...Go... back there?
