[Scotland, Europe], 7:00 PM

Having depleted the last Flipper Potion in her inventory, Rena Marston, a young adult cowgirl, pants as she rests at an abandoned well in a small, rundown village in the odd world of Terraria. The sun was beginning to set as she glumly looks up at the sky. The only light keeping her awake was a lamp post made out of refined lead and a few torches.

Rena: I was given the sign that the four outsiders of this world should come here for important information. Don't keep me waiting here all alone...

"Some people are damaged. Some people are really damaged. And then... some people are broken."

A pile of gel lay in front of the baby slime. A pale figure stuck their head out of the mouth of a cave.

"Is it gone yet?"

"Yeah, yeah. You can come out now."

Laura Thorne emerged from the cave, picking up the gel for later use.

"Nice job, Slimey."

"Thanks. Let's get going."

"Okay, okay!"

It was the first time Laura had ventured outside the cave since she had arrived in the world. Examining the surroundings, she decided it would be best to head to the nearby village. She grasped her slime staff defensively. Hopefully nobody would try to kill her...

She saw a cowgirl standing under a lamp post.

"Hey, Laura, look! There's someone over there!"

"No, no, no. We are not going over there. I'm a vampire, remember? How will they know I'm not like those skeletons?"

"Well sooner or later you're gonna need some company. If you're not going to be sociable then I am."

The baby slime hopped over towards the cowgirl.

After walking some distance from where he originally tried to set up "camp"—that is, by building a poor excuse for a shelter (admittedly since he hadn't actually found enough wood to complete its back walls)—Nieue finds himself walking through a grassy expanse, not very far from what looks like a quaint little village.

There has to be SOMETHING down there, he convinces himself. Supplies, information, weapons; anything that would make it worth coming all this way and being chased by so many mobs.

Nearing the buildings, Nieue notices a couple of figures already waiting there over the horizon, where the sun's setting.

They looked human, mostly, aside from that...slime? But why wasn't it attacking them? Were they enemies, too? It didn't look like it, but... The boy reflexively pauses to take out the Rally.

He'd probably wait from a distance and see what happens between them, for now.

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

"...Where is it? I could've sworn that they would've fallen around here somewhere..."

Josh looked somewhat annoyed. It'd been quite a trek to get to this clearing and he was sure that tiny shooting star that'd been in the sky in the previous evening would've landed here, yet there was nothing there. No slimes, no trees...nothing. It was a little unnerving in all honesty.

And looking up at the sky, he had to get back soon before it got worse. Those...things came out at night after all. Pushing on would be pointless and trying to retrace his steps would take too long. Better to just cut his losses now and take a shortcut.

Raising his Magic Mirror and watching as the reflection began to warp, the teleportation spell kicked in moments later...although it brought him to, well, a rather rundown village that had clearly seen better days. Not to mention he could've sworn there was someone nearby...

...Darn it. The mirror must be on the blink, this definitely isn't what I'd call home. "...Erm, hello...?"

Josh cautiously waved and approached, glancing at the buildings nearby and trying to gauge what'd work as a shelter.

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

Three more humans - at least, that's what they looked like - enter Rena's vicinity. Just before she tried to muster up courage to talk to them, a elf with light brown hair, a tan jacket, and blue jeans walked towards the well and noticed the four people nearing his sight.

???: Ah, you must have heard about this collision of worlds as well. My name is Morgan, and I'd be happy to help all of you. Currently, this world of Terraria is locked from any other world you may have been from. It would be best if you could defeat the most dangerous beasts of this land. I was lent a book that told me what they were.

Rena: Is all this key to bringing me back to my home?

Morgan noticed a Demon Eye staring at him and shot it with an arrow from his Agile Silver Bow.

Morgan: Heavens, no. Not exactly, but something may happen once you have established yourselves in this world.

Rena: I can't shoot varmints without any ammo.

Morgan: An gun dealer may show up in a house because of your Flintlock Pistol there. You'd need to repair the village though since my house is the only one that is hospitable.

Rena pulled out her Copper Axe.

Rena: You say build, I'll do it for a price.

She went to chop the nearest tree ten meters away from Morgan.

"Some people are damaged. Some people are really damaged. And then... some people are broken."

[scotland]

Slimey hopped back towards Laura.

"Come on! They seem nice enough!"

"I don't know, maybe I'll just wait over here..."

"Nope, you're coming with me!"

Slimey dragged Laura towards the others, somehow. Laura produced a length of rope.

"I found a bunch of this underground. Maybe it could be useful for something?"

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.

For a few moments, Josh tilted his head at Rena walking off to be a lumberjack before raising an eyebrow at Morgan.

"...Actually, that's news to me. That Asher...Andy...can't remember the name, he never really mentioned anything like that. Helpful, though. ...Mostly."

Still, it sort of answered the question of where he was. Sort of. The mirror bringing him here was still a bit puzzling though. Not that he had much time to dwell on it when the other figure and their slime showed off a rope.

"That depends. If you plan on scaling cliffs, getting to high places...or getting down from said high places without breaking your legs, a rope's always handy to have. Heck, it'd probably make it a lot easier to get up on the roof for any of these buildings and cut through to the attic. They could've left other supplies behind up there." Josh cheerfully pointed out before something clicked.

"Erm, assuming they even have an attic. Could just fall through the roof and right to the floor. B-But I'm forgetting my manners,. The name's Josh Kinglit. Pleased to meet you, Miss."

[Scotland, Europe], 7:40 PM

The tree, rather than falling down like Rena expected, exploded into multiple bits of wood and acorns.

Wood (35) - White

Acorn (3) - White

Rena: Damn, I'm not sure this is enough for one house.

Rena turns her eyes towards a house that looked like swiss cheese on the outside.

Rena: I think I might patch this up as soon as I can.

Just as Rena headed inside to do handiwork, a Zombie trudged its way toward Morgan.

Morgan decided to retreat inside his home.

Morgan: Sorry, folks, looks like more monsters are on the way. I'll be in my house if you really need me.

The Zombie turns towards Josh, deciding the vampire girl lacked its nutritive value.

Another Zombie, this time lacking eyes, headed towards the door that Rena shut and started banging on the door demanding to be let in.

"Some people are damaged. Some people are really damaged. And then... some people are broken."

[Scotland, europe]

Laura turned to run until she realised that the zombie wasn't attacking her.

"Phew. I'm safe. Let's go while we can!"

"I won't let you! What if we run into something that does decide you'd make a good snack? These guys could help!"

"Fine, go help. Just don't say that I sent you. Because I didn't."

Slimey bounded towards the zombie attacking the door as fast as they could, trying to ram the zombie at full slimy force.

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.

"Just a momen-" The young man was cut off by Morgan moving to shelter and suddenly finding an undead shambling towards him. "Good grief. I suppose expecting some sort of manners from you is too much to ask, huh?" Josh sighed, backing away from the zombie.

Still, that wasn't to say he was defenseless, keeping on eye on the enemy and the other on a building behind him as he reached into his jacket and grabbed...a slightly scorched stick. Either way, a few fancy twirls of the wand caused at least three sets of sizzling sparks to fly right at the zombie.

With one set of the sparks being likely causing the zombie to go up in flames. If only for a few moment. It was enough for Josh to stumble backwards into a rundown shack, slam the door closed, quickly remove a few floorboards with his Copper Pickaxe and place them against the door as a makeshift barricade.

Nieue winces upon seeing the zombie suddenly appear and start banging on Morgan's door. He tries (or perhaps, his programming decides) to keep a safe distance back—really, he does—but can't stand lying in wait any longer and rushes out of cover, directly towards the house.

Hopefully not caught in the middle of what could only be called a firing squad he just put himself in front of, he swings the Rally as hard as he can towards the mob's head, and with the added force of the minion, cuts it clean off.

Watching the flames on the other zombie flicker out as its remains slowly dissipate, Nieue turns towards Lauren. "Sorry. Was I interrupting something?" He pauses for a bit to take a breath after his sudden burst of courage, and notices Josh running away to hide someplace.

Giving him a slightly confused look, the boy shrugs it off and wonders what the fuss for wood earlier was about.

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

[Scotland, Europe], 8:00 PM

Morgan looked outside to see if any monsters were on his figurative tail. It was just a starry expanse of the night sky and the faint glimpse of Nieue seemingly standing stiff like a pillar. Morgan closed the door and went back to his nightly chores.

Morgan: I wonder what was that person doing there...

Meanwhile, Rena places a Wooden Chair next to a Work Bench to add the finishing touches to the barren cottage she was trying to fix.

Rena: Took up all the wood that I had. The only problem... where's the lighting?

The house was dimmer than her farm's barn back at home at midnight. Stumbling out of the door, she headed back to find Laura and Nieue still outside wasting their time. Josh had fled her vision.

Rena: Where did the man in the tuxedo go? All of us, including him, need to find a place to hide from monsters. I had to escape those ugly, floating eyeballs all they way here during every night before I arrived.

"Some people are damaged. Some people are really damaged. And then... some people are broken."

Taking a few moments to catch his breath and glancing at the barricaded door, Josh quickly got to work with turning...most of the wooden floor into a staircase, just in case.

And when he hit the ceiling, it wasn't too hard to make a small enough gap to look outside. No flying eyes. At least so far. Hopefully. Either way, he carefully climbing up through the ceiling and onto the roof, Josh waved down to the trio.

"...My apologies for the hasty retreat, not terribly keen on getting cornered and horribly mauled or torn apart. Don't quite have the kit for fighting more than one opponent at a time."

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

[Scotland, Europe]

Lauren breathed a sigh of relief as the zombies went down.

"No, you're not interrupting anything," she replied to Nieue.

Lauren made her way into one of the houses, with Slimey in tow. She put down a torch and a workbench and began to fix the ceiling.

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.

[Scotland, Europe]

Rena stares at her Flintlock Pistol, hopelessly empty without any bullets. She looked at Josh and sighed.

Rena: Now that you've said it, we should probably gather defensive equipment and more weapons. I'm no miner, but I'm pretty sure there'll be less chances to get ambushed by monsters while there. Although I have the itch to find out if there are any more settlements around us. It'd be a shame if we headed-

A Demon Eye knocked Rena over.

Rena: ...well, I'll be damned.

"Some people are damaged. Some people are really damaged. And then... some people are broken."

[Scotland, Europe]

Laura continued patching up the roof with whatever she could find. She heard Rena talking about looking for other settlements.

"I think we should establish ourselves here before going anywhere else. I'm not going anywhere far without at least an umbrella to protect me from the sun."

Then the demon eye appeared. Laura poked her head out of a hole in the wall.

"Hey, do you need a hand? I could get someone to help."

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.

"You alright?" It took Josh a few seconds to notice the Demon Eye and frowned. "Oh, brilliant. I was hoping those things wouldn't be around already." The Wand of Sparking probably wouldn't be able to hit from this distance, which was...annoying.

...Well, if there's anything that could give us a slight advantage, that...would be nice.

Laura's comment left the young man looking somewhat confused though. He decided to refrain to asking why.

"Indeed. A bit of elbow grease and we could probably fix some of these buildings up. Or tear some of them down to patch up others...but now's not exactly ideal. You know, with the evil eyes and undead."

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

[Scotland, Europe]

Rena got up, swinging her Copper Axe upwards as it hits another Demon Eye in case any other monsters were to keep pinning her down.

Rena: I heard something about finding another place to keep ourselves in shape. If we want a chance at survival, we should head underground or somewhere else safe before someone gives up the ghost. I'm heading underground now; I don't care if someone follows me.

The cowgirl headed towards a nearby cave finding a lone chest on her way down. Instinctively, she noticed it was unlocked and took no chance into seeing its contents.

Throwing Knife - White (93)
Tin Bar - White (4)
Wooden Arrow - White (37)
Lesser Healing Potion - White (3)
Night Owl Potion - Blue
Bottle - White (17)

She picked up the knives and wasn't sure of how they operated.

"Some people are damaged. Some people are really damaged. And then... some people are broken."

[Scotland, Europe]

Laura followed Rena towards the cave, sighing in relief.

"Underground is good. I don't have to worry about the sun down there."

"Er...you two go right ahead, I'll just...stay here, see if I can patch some of these houses up some mor-" The young man dodged to the side and blasted a weakened Demon Eye with the Wand of Sparking as it went up in smoke, dropping Copper Coins (67) and a single Lens.

...Of course, by the time he'd spoken up, Rena and Laura had they'd already left. Carefully leaping from rooftop to rooftop and avoiding the Demon Eyes as best as he could before taking the Copper Axe to one of the roofs and dropping into the house to look at the damage after checking to make sure it was empty.

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

Rena went further down the cave, listening to the water dripping from the ceiling.

Rena: The pale girl's probably going to follow me.

The cowgirl turns her head towards the gradual presence of darkness and decide to venture forth. Below the surface, Terraria unlike in real life, had tons of pottery lying around. Rena uncovered her Copper Pickaxe and lightly tapped a few pots that were sitting near her feet. The pots shattered and left a few trinkets.

2 Silver 18 Copper
Torches (6) - White

Rena: That's got to be a safety hazard.

Immediately to the left of Rena was a small reserve of ore that she had trouble discerning. She placed one of the torches she found from a pot on the ground. The tan streaks revealed it to be iron.

Rena: This is no gold rush, I'm afraid.

Knowing her Texan town back at home had a small business of stonecutters, Rena had a side thought on whether or not mining some Stone Blocks along with the Iron Ore she found would be worth a darn.

"Some people are damaged. Some people are really damaged. And then... some people are broken."

[Scotland]

"That's fine. I don't care much for gold," Laura said, smashing a pot.

28 copper

Torch(2) - white

"Though a little would be nice..."

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.

...Patching up the second shack wasn't terribly difficult, with blasting away anything stupid to try and reach through the gaps. Again, not terribly amazing and lacking furniture...and torches for that matter, but it'd keep the monsters out.

And gather wood for furniture and squashing some slimes tomorrow would be simple enough to fix the other problems. Glancing up through the gap in the roof to try and get some sort of idea on what the time even was, Josh got slightly distracted by the stars and a bit lost in thought on whether there were falling stars here too.

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

[Scotland, Europe], 500m below

Rena continued down below the surface, not realizing the concept of exhaustion was different in this new world of hers. She had encountered a few red and yellow slimes during her trip, quite annoying but easy to deal with. Her current belongings took rather drastic changes.

Glowstick (12) - White
Torch (2) - White
Gel (25) - White
Stone Block (47) - White
Iron Ore (17) - White
Dirt Block (109) - White
Clay Block (18) - White
Mud Block (10) - White
Copper Ore (20) - White
Tin Ore (12) - White
Rope (20) - White

Rena: Phew. Felt like a zealous elf smashing all that shit. Better catch my breath.

In the distance was an abandoned, decrepit house. What little remnants of what could have mostly been a Victorian retreat stood and shambled in darkness.

Rena: Seems like this world has a property problem too... I wonder what's up with this...

Entering the cottage, Rena could only perceive a fraction of the house with yet another placed torch. It was flooded with cobwebs.

Rena: Gross.

"Some people are damaged. Some people are really damaged. And then... some people are broken."

scotland, underground

Laura cautiously followed Rena through the cave, picking up a bit of gel and stone, but not much else. She stopped to look at the house.

Laura: Huh. This is just like the one I stayed in for ages before we all met up.
