Kids these days always are doing something rather than homework, when they are meant to be doing that. I was one of those kids. I would tell my mum that I am doing maths or science homework, then jump onto Wildcraft to cook. Well one day that changed.
Now you see I am a fan of Sweeney Todd, and the only reason for that is because I like Helena Bonham Carter and you can’t like one without the other. Because of that, I named my whole wolf family Sweeney Todd characters. The main one I used was MrsLovett, and my mate SweeneyTodd. I also had two children under the names of Ben and Toby.
I rarely did multiplayer, but once I decided to make a private server due to the fact that my friends were online and hoping they would join. I picked MrsLovett and my pet and went to the Wild Plains map. It was like a normal singleplayer mode until about 10 minutes later. I got a request saying “Player User_0000 wants to join.”
The times when I did multiplayer, I friended everyone in the server so I could have heaps of friends. So many that I started to lose track of the names. Thinking that it was just someone on my massive friends list, I accepted it. I ran over to the spawning place and got the chat out and typed “hi.”
The first warning sign is that this player didn't have a health bar, but it was in the early hours of the morning, so I didn't think much of it. They didn't reply, so I decided to go hunt hoping that they would follow. After about 5 minutes, I started to get annoyed. They could have just said that they were going to be AFK for a while! I ran back with a dead raccoon thinking that maybe they would pick up the hint that I wanted to hunt with them.
As soon as I dropped the raccoon at their feet, their pure black eyes started to droop, along with their mouth, stretching to pick up the raccoon. My first reaction was “oh heck nah,” followed by “OH HECK NAH BRO!”
And that is when I heard it. The disembodied voice, filled with robotic notes. “Get better meat for the pie shop, Lovett.” It came from User_0000.
I started to panic. How did this, this thing know my name? I turned my wolf around and sprinted toward my den, putting the lock on it. As I expected, I got multiple requests from player “User_0000” to come into my den. I frantically declined. At about the 10th time IT requested, not he, the same robotic voice cut through, flashing the screen “BAD CHOICE” with the wolf, eyes drooping lower to the ground.
Then, the wolf jumped at the black screen till it was inches from my own, twisting its head and licking its mouth. I fell back in my chair, my heart hammering against my ribs. Its tongue literally looked like it was touching the inside of my Mac glass.
Before I could even scream for my mum, the screen completely glitched out. The distorted audio static roared through my speakers, and POP—the game force-closed itself. My computer screen flashed, throwing me straight back to my silver desktop wallpaper.
I sat there in the quiet room, staring. The game was gone. But sitting right in the center of my screen was a brand new, corrupted file folder that had never been there before. The file name read: “Fresh_Meat_Pies.txt”.
Shaking, I put one hand on the trackpad and double clicked. Inside was big, red text with the words, “Times is hard, Lovett. Times is hard.”
Like, obviously she did bad things, like with the whole pie ordeal, but the way Helena played her is just so raw and emotional it makes you feel bad for her. She just wants someone to love her, but here Sweeney just registers her as a piece of dirt, like all his other customers. Tell me what you think!
