An important exchange between c!Sam and c!Tommy that I—again—don’t think we’re talking enough about. A sequel to this post.

timestamp and transcript below the cut:

41:57 The Green Smile That Haunts Me (Dream SMP Lore)

Sam: Hey, Tommy. Oh wow, you’re kinda kitted out.

Tommy: Yeah, you got to stay kitted out these days, Sam. You never know.

Sam, overlapping: Hello Philza.

Phil: Sam.

Sam: It’s good to see you.

[Tommy moves so he’s standing in front of Sam]

Tommy: What’s up, Sam?

Phil, overlapping: Wish I could say likewise.

Sam: Oh, I was just, uh, wandering through.

Tommy, overlapping: Why don’t we go on the path.

[Sam and Tommy walk over to the Prime Path]

Tommy: Yeah I’m just- I’m just-

Sam, overlapping: What are you- What are you up to?

Tommy: Well I’m just hanging with Phil.

Sam, overlapping: What are you doing around this house?

Tommy, overlapping: Yeah, I’m just- I’m henching up this house, dude. We’re gonna make it… nicer.

Sam: Ah, okay. Nicer? Nicer how?

Tommy: Like- stronger. Like fucking, ‘fensive.

Sam: Offensive? What do- What? You want to make it, um-

Tommy cuts him off: No defensive, like fuckin’ strong, like militant, like fucking-

Sam: Oh, okay.

Tommy: Y’know, give us some power to our name, be fucking scary.

Sam: Yeah that’s… that’s interesting. Why are you… wearing a shield, Tommy? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you with a sword and a shield before. What are you- what are you up to right now, Tommy?

[There’s a beat]

Tommy, lying: Just been chopping the- chopping the bamboo.

Sam: The bamboo?

Tommy: It’s more efficient to go like this with it.

[Tommy chops down nearby bamboo with his sword]

Tommy: It’s just- it- much faster. People have been cau- people have been hiring me as the- as the bamboo boy.

Sam, overlapping: None of the- none of the- none of the bamboo is chopped, Tommy.

Tommy: No, dude, but it’s too- yeah, I know, I’m just- I’m just getting started because people need a bamboo boy. I’m- I’m bamboo boy! Look, look at this. Look at- Oh! I get paid for it as well.

[Tommy chops down more bamboo as he talks]

Sam, overlapping: So what’s the shield… So what’s the shield- What’s the shield for?

Tommy: Just… just got a shield.

[Tommy trails off]

Tommy: Bamboo boy- y’know, in case the- when the bamboo rains, it can uh damage my head and I go like this.

[Tommy raises his shield]

Sam: Is that true Tommy?

Tommy: Yeah, it’s true, Sam.

[Nearby bamboo sprouts up a block]

Tommy: Oh, it goes back so fast.

Sam: You’re not- you’re not doing something reckless, right?

[There’s a long beat]

Tommy: Sam, I need to ask you something.

Sam: What?

Tommy: Right before I got sent to the- to the prison… for that last time.

Sam: Uhuh.

Tommy: It was all…

[Tommy trails off]

Tommy: Do you know where Sam Nook’s been?

Sam: Sam Nook? Uhhhh….

Tommy: Haven’t seen him in a long long time, and I- I-

Sam: Yeah, I… assume Sam Nook is still somewhere at the hotel, I don’t know.

Tommy: Well I’ve- I’ve seen him, I’ve- I’ve gone out past it a couple times, y’know? He’s not there.

Sam: Are you sure? I- I don’t know. Check- check on the- check on the top of the- of the hotel. I think I…[unintelligible]

Tommy, overlapping: Okay, I’ll go through all the floors.

Sam: I think I told him to go there and stuff. You could- you could go take a look. He should- he should be there, I think.

[There’s a small beat]

Sam: Why do you wanna see Sam Nook, what?

Tommy: I just- I could just- do with seeing some familiar face- some people I know I can trust.

Sam: Okay, well. You can always come see me, Tommy. You can trust me.

Tommy: It’s good to see you, Sam.

Sam: Alright. Okay, Tommy. It was good to see you. Don’t do anything… you would regret.

#huge thanks to @casptastrophe for doing the transcript #i think this scene is another that emphasizes c!sam’s motivations #it lines up with his last interaction with tommy in which he stated he wanted to keep an eye on tommy to make sure he was safe #i definitely think there’s gonna be an intense conflict between sam and tommy if/when sam nook reports that tommy plans to hunt dream down #i’m very excited with how they’re setting that up #it also just adds more complexity to c!sam #he does horrible things but his care for tommy is unwavering #it’s a very interesting dynamic and again i have to give props to cc!sam for doing such an amazing job #it leaves me very conflicted #tommyinnit #tommy #c!tommy #awesamdude #c!awesamdude #brief c!philza #tommy and sam #hotelduo #dreamsmp #dream smp #dsmp #roleplay #lore #compilation
