POV: Carrot 

I immediately realized the person was speaking galactic, since I had learned that language for fun back in my old server. 'I knew learning enchanting table would be useful!' I thought. I switched to speaking galactic. "⍑ᒷ||  ∷𝙹ʖ𝙹!  ╎'ᒲ  ᓵᔑ∷∷𝙹ℸ ̣ ! (Hi Robo! I'm Carrot!) " I said. "⍑ᒷꖎꖎ𝙹  ᓵᔑ∷∷𝙹ℸ ̣.(Hello Carrot)." Robo said, their black metal skin reflecting their glowing red eyes. "∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ᔑ∷ᒷ ||𝙹⚍∷  !¡∷𝙹リ𝙹⚍リᓭ? (What are your pronouns?)" I asked. "⍑ᒷ/⍑╎ᒲ ᒲ𝙹ᓭℸ ̣ ꖎ||, ᔑꖎℸ ̣ ⍑𝙹⚍⊣⍑ ||𝙹⚍ ᓵᔑリ ⚍ᓭᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ||/ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷᒲ ╎⎓ ||𝙹⚍ ∴ᔑリℸ ̣. (He/Him mostly, but you can use they/them if you want.)" Robo responded. I nodded. "⍊ᔑꖎ╎↸!  ╎  ⚍ᓭᒷ  ᓭ⍑ᒷ/⍑ᒷ∷,   ʖ⚍ℸ ̣     ╎リ  ᔑꖎꖎ    ⍑𝙹リᒷᓭℸ ̣ ||  ╎  ↸𝙹  リ𝙹ℸ ̣  ᓵᔑ∷ᒷ. (Valid! I use she/her, but in all honesty I do not care.)" I responded.

Robo smiled slightly, pushing himself off the ground. "ᓵᔑリ ∴ᒷ ᓭ!¡ᒷᔑꖌ ╎リ ᒷリ⊣ꖎ╎ᓭ⍑ !¡ꖎᒷᔑᓭᒷ? i ꖎ𝙹⍊ᒷ ᓭ!¡ᒷᔑꖌ╎リ⊣ ╎リ ⊣ᔑꖎᔑᓵℸ ̣ ╎ᓵ, ʖ⚍ℸ ̣ ╎ℸ ̣ 'ᓭ ꖌ╎リ↸ᔑ ⍑ᔑ∷↸. (Can we speak English please? I love speaking galactic but it's kinda hard.)" I asked. "𝙹⍑   ⚍⍑ᒲ- (Oh uhm-) su-sure." Robo responded. 

I smiled underneath my mask. "Welcome to FriendCraft! FC for short!" I said. Robo looked around. "C-cool." He stuttered, his robotic voice glitching slightly. "Sorry, I ha-ven't spoken Engli-sh i-in a while, it's hard for my rob-b-otic brain to process." Robo stuttered apologetically. "I'm sure you'll get better as you go!" I said cheerfully, bouncing up and down. "Th-Thanks." Robo responded. He sounded thankful, but I couldn't quite tell with the text-to-speech voice and all.

"Anyway- I should introduce you to Ex! They're the only other person who lives here." I said, taking Robo by the hand- or at least trying. "Sorry, I just don't like being touc-ch-hed." Robo stuttered, pulling away his hand. I made a little 'o' sound in response. "That's perfectly fine! Just follow me." I said, walking towards my house. "Al-alright." Robo said. I heard his footsteps behind me as I skipped along, happiness filling me.

We walked towards the bridge, and suddenly Robo stopped. "What's wrong?" I asked, tilting my head curiously. "Uh- uhm- I ma-ade of re-edstone and if I touch water I- pe.. perma..." Robo trailed off, and I could tell he was shaking slightly at doing this. "Perma-die?" I filled in the end for him. He nodded pathetically. "It's okay to be afraid of death— I knew people who weren't.  Let's just say they weren't the best people to be around." I murmured. I completely understood why Robo would be scared of walking a bridge, I was terrified of the nether and I wouldn't even perma-die there!

Suddenly I heard footsteps and looked up to see Ex, running to us with Rocket by their side. "Hey Carrot!" Ex said happily. "Hey! Meet my new friend!" I said, gesturing to Robo. Robo looked surprised at the sudden attention on him, but he waved slightly. "Hi, I'm Robo." Robo said quietly. "Hello! I'm Ex!" Ex said. Although they sounded joyful, I could tell both Robo and Ex felt pretty awkward. So of course I had to insert myself into the conversation. 

"That's my dog, Rocket!" I said, pointing to Rocket. They wagged their tail, trotting over to me. I bent down to pet them. "W-why does Ex ha-ave your dog?" Robo asked. "Because we had a dog party." I replied. Ex giggled. "You aren't completely wrong." They murmured. "Anyway, you should tell each other your pronouns." I said. "Oh yeah! I use they/them. Just they/them." Ex murmured the last part, as though they were fearing Robo would react badly. I felt a pang of sadness for them. "I use he/him, although you can call me a they if you want." Robo murmured. Ex sighed with relief.

Robo looked around. "I should pr-probably make a house s-somewhere..." he muttered. "Pre-eferably not a-anywhere near this river. Or this pond for that m-matter." He added quickly. Ex looked confused, but I understood. "Maybe we can look around spawn! There's bound to be a place there!" I piped up.

POV: Robo 

It had been a bit, and we found a place near spawn to use. I built the outer shell of the house completely on my own, and in my opinion it looked nice. It had oak logs surrounding the corners, with oak planks in between. Carrot supplied the materials, while Ex just kinda watched. Right after we finished the roof it started raining, but luckily I was already inside. 

I was currently with Ex, and we chatted while Carrot came in every once it a while and handed me stripped oak for the floor. "Why are we stuck inside again?" Ex asked. "I'm made of re-edstone and if I touch water I per-erma-die." I said, whispering the last part. Ex froze. "Welp, that's a great reason to stay indoors then." Ex replied, trying to lighten the mood. I was thankful for their efforts.

"Covid is also another good reason to stay indoors." Carrot said, busting in and giving me some wood. "What is C-covid?" I asked, confused. "It was a thing back in my old server. For info, it was a hardcore world. One time we had a pandemic, and the sickness was called Covid-19. We went into lockdown because of it." Carrot explained. "Ohhhh." Ex murmured. "Y-your world wa-as a har-ardcore world?" I asked. Carrot nodded. "It was a very modded server as well. Not your normal Minecraft world." Carrot explained. 

I looked down and remembered I still had the stripped oak. "Oh right I should pro-b-bably-" I put the oak down in the floor, yet it still wasn't complete. "It seems like I need to get more wood. Farewell!" Carrot waved, leaving the house. "Do-oes she a-always act like that?" I asked. "Yup." Ex replied. "∴𝙹∴. (Wow.)" I accidentally said in galactic. "∴ᔑ╎ℸ ̣     ᔑ    ᓭᒷᓵ,    ||𝙹⚍    ᓭ!¡ᒷᔑꖌ       ⊣ᔑꖎᔑᓵℸ ̣ ╎ᓵ? (Wait a sec, you speak galactic?)" Ex asked. "||⚍!¡.  ╎  !¡∷ᒷ⎓ᒷ∷  ᓭ!¡ᒷᔑꖌ╎リ⊣       ╎ℸ ̣. (Yup. I prefer speaking it.)" I responded. 

"ᓵ𝙹𝙹ꖎ. (Cool)" Ex murmured.

We sat in an awkward silence for a moment, as the both calming and terrifying sound of rain pattering against my house surrounding us.
