Chapter 5- Observations and Conspiracy Theories
Ch. 1 Ch. 2 Ch. 3 Ch. 4
——
The trio picked back up with their studies as the sun was threatening to set. Cleo had been napping in the sun, and Michael went for a walk around the castle lands, where he’d briefly ran into a slime who swore he was human, but Michael couldn’t be sure, so he just killed the thing*.
They met Joe at his moon observation station, and were mostly quiet, watching and waiting in dreadful anticipation.
And when the moon finally did begin to show its face, it really hit Michael just how massive this thing really was. Sure, he’d seen it the other night, when it was looming overhead, but to see it peeking over the edge of the platform, while the sun was still blatantly setting on the other side, really set the tone for how hellish and unnatural this whole thing really was.
Cleo nudged Michael, and he tore his eyes away from the moon to watch Joe in action. He was on an unstable looking rock platform, which was covered with signs. Joe walked forward, past all of them and then a bit more, and after a few moments of deliberation and leaning back and forth, placed down a sign and wrote the date.
“God, that’s like three blocks more then yesterday.” Cleo muttered.
Joe came back over to them, and the three stood there, watching the moon make its way up the sky.
“So, what do we do now?” Michael asked.
“Observe it I guess.” Joe replied, taking out a small notebook and writing down the measurements.
“Well, that’s all well and good, but besides the fact that it’s big and there are earthquakes, observing it all night is going to be quite boring.” Cleo said.
“What do you suggest we do then?” Joe asked.
“I suggest we have a campfire.” Joe sighed and Cleo turned to Michael. “I set up the nicest, safest campfire spot at the beginning of this season, with stones to keep the fire contained and water and everything and he says it’s a danger to the forest.”
“I mean, Joe, it’s kinda last call for peaceful shit, it feels like.” Michael pointed at the moon.
“Fine!” Joe threw his hands up in the air, and Michael and Cleo high-fived him in sync, which made all three of them burst out into laughter. Despite it all.
“So, Michael, we overwhelmed you on the first day, and all we’ve been talking about noe is the moon. Any burning questions aboht Hermitcraft?” The three were settled around the cheerfully crackling campfire, with Joe on a blanket looking straight up at the sky, Cleo sitting on a tree stump she had uprooted, and Michael in one of the beanbag chairs from the castle.
“So, okay, who is this Evil X guy? I remember your admin talking about him on that first day. Who is he?”
Cleo snorted and Joe huffed. “He’s like the villain, I guess you could call him, on the server.” Cleo answered. “Do you have anyone like that where you’re from?”
“Hmm, I suppose so. There’s a guy who is like the big bad villain, name of Dream. But more then that, we mostly have a lot of morally grey people, you know, who don’t really fit into good or bad. Is he like that?”
“Well, I mean, he sells cryptocurrency.” Joe said.
“Oh so he’s evil in a pathetic way, okay.”
Cleo cackled so hard she coughed up a literal lung. Michael and Joe screamed, even more so when she shoved it back down her throat and pushed it back into place.
“Okay, I have a question.” Cleo spoke up once everyone had calmed down again. “So what the hell happened when you two met? Joe likes to be annoyingly aloof about his time missing. All I know is that you have a radio show, because Joe won’t shut up about wanting one.”
“Joe! Are you ashamed of hanging out with me?” Michael said in mock offense.
“I- no!” Joe said so genuinely sadly that Michael backpedaled at once.
“I’m kidding, I’m kidding.” Michael held out a hand to placate him. “Well, I was out for a walk one day around the Dream SMP. It’s usually, like, pretty dead, maybe you’ll see a figure in the distance once in a while, but that’s about it. So, you’d imagine my surprise when I found some bespectacled dude walking around in the crater of L’Manburg. So I helped him up and held a sword to his throat until he told me who he was. Sorry about that, Joe.”
“The impression that I got from my initial interaction with Michael is that the server he comes from is a lot more wary, and has a very different kind of relationship with death.” Joe added, sitting up finally and putting his notebook down. “I fell into this huge, overgrown crater I would later find out used to be a thriving community, and was saved by a man who was quite convinced I was some kind of cosmic horror.”
“To be fair you are a cosmic horror. To me.” Cleo said.
“Well, after I determined Joe wasn’t a threat, I decided to bring him home with me, like some kind of wet puppy I found in a box. And then he really started talking, and I thought ‘oh this guy has to be on my radio show, he’s too fucking weird’. So he did and he stayed for a few days to recuperate and regroup, and then he was off. Totally convinced the guy was gonna end up dead, was never really sure what happened to him until he called me the other day.”
“That is the most Joe Hills story I’ve ever heard.” Cleo sighed and shook her head. The campfire snapped and crackled merrily in front of them as they all went quiet again, lost in their own thoughts.
“So. Moon conspiracy theories.” Cleo, Joe, and Michael were eating breakfast at the tavern, and Michael had his notes and books in front of him. Now that the moon observation time was over, the sun had come to relieve them of their terror, the conspiracies could be explored. “The moon is one of those things that has always been on the mind of theorists of all kinds. Some say the moon is a god, some say someone has landed on on top of the moon and explored it, others say there’s no way, your wings would break before there. But as for a moon getting bigger and bigger? Well, on my way over here I scoured every book I could find, all the notes I’ve gathered over the years. What I could find was limited, with kinda sus references, but there is one theory that the moon is a goddess of some kind. Have y’all done anything that might make a god mad?”
Cleo and Joe looked at each other and spoke at the same time. “Doc.”
“Okay, so that’s one lead. A doctor?” Michael wrote the word down in his journal.
“No, Doc is a hermit. Oh isn’t there like some kind of cult at Boatem too?” Cleo asked, although she was cut off by Joe gasping dramatically.
“Boatem! That wretched place is cursed! That must be what’s causing this all!” Joe rose to his feet, shaking his fist in the direction of this Boatem place. Michael wrote it down.
“Besides angering gods, what other theories are there?” Cleo asked.
“Honestly, that’s the bulk of it. Like I said, not a lot of concrete anything- and that’s coming from a conspiracy theorist. We could get into stuff like ‘the moon got knocked out of orbit by something and was drawn into the gravitational pull here’ or ‘this is all just a video game and the moon is the final boss’.”
“Options to explore later, perhaps.” Joe said. “I’m so convinced those Boatem people have something to do with it!”
Michael grinned. “Alright baby! Let’s conspiracy theory this bitch!”
——
*Additional lore: because Michael isn’t a hermit, and Xisuma, distracted by the whole moon thing, never entered Michael into the code officially, the chat read “ijevin was killed by [static box]”. No one really paid attention to it, thinking erasing hermit names in chat was just a new hellish feature of the moon lol

10:05pm
The day is nearing its end, and although I look forward to sleep, I do not look forward to tomorrow. I have no desire to work. I want to rest for the two days I have left before house/dog sitting for two weeks. But, the money from these next two days will be an extra bit of pocket change to sustain me for those two weeks, so it feels necessary.
Update on last night meeting my boyfriend's ex. It was actually pleasant. I had expressed my concern of me becoming catty if I felt like they were flirting before hand and I could tell he was conscious of that for the night, making sure to give me enough attention and not being to persistent with being near her. I really appreciated that. She was nice, I had no issues talking to her, and her interactions with him weren't flirty or strange in anyway. I'm glad the night went so well. I did take two tequila shots before she and her friends arrived so that I wouldn't feel too awkward upon meeting them all. Her friends were lovely too. I really enjoyed them.
The actual events of last night weren't too exciting. Regular ol' bar hopping. The kind where it's too packed to get a drink within a decent period of time, and by the time you have your drink the group is moving to the next bar. The music is too loud and no one is really dancing, but you can't have conversations because you can't hear shit. Not my ideal environment, but I wanted to have fun with everyone and I think that goal was achieved.
Today I slept through a potential hangover. I did stay the night at my boyfriend's but I had to wake up at 8:30am because he had to drop me off at home before he went off to work. I did not want to get up, but I slipped on my heels from the night before and sat myself in the passenger's seat. I immediately fell asleep when I got home and only woke up when my mother called me at 2pm.
I had to pop over to her place today to get the rundown on how to care for the dogs like they do, and for instructions on pool care (because they have a lil' above ground pool now). She also gave me some food and a pothos that a woman at her work brought for me since my mother had mentioned I was wanting some plants for my apartment. There's another plant, too. The second plant is a bit larger and I don't know what it is. I only took home the pothos for now, since they are both sitting solely in water and I could only hold one between my legs for the drive home. I am very happy with my plant. Setting it down on my little coffee table sent me into extreme cleaning mode, since I wanted my place to look nice with the addition of my new plant.
My brain is a little jumbled right now. I stumbled on a guy live streaming Skyward Sword and I have to watch. He seems to have just started the game. He's at the part where he's learning the sword mechanics and they're so awful, it's so funny to watch. Stoked to see him play. I've oddly enough been craving watching someone play this exact game recently.
I'm going to watch this now, so I'll write to ya when I write to ya. Hope everyone is having a lovely night.
10:33pm

Don't go into the forest in the dark. But no one ever listens to the whispers. The footpath meandering, lost. He's waiting for you, waiting with black, burning eyes. Waiting somewhere past the clearing.
