POV: Polly

I woke up in what seemed to be a rustic mansion. But the thing was- it was only half of a mansion. 'But who would build that?' I wondered as I walked around it. I looked out of the chopped wall to see the other side of the mansion.

I was definitely confused, and even more concerned at the fact that this didn't look like a trap set up by Hit the Target.

I wandered around, until I saw the bedroom. I just paused. It was an honestly beautiful pink, but it contrasted so badly with the rest of the browns covering the other parts of the mansion.

I just shrugged. 'If whoever lives here likes it, I won't judge.' I turned around and walked back down, my thought prolonging it's real appearance. 'Wait. Someone I don't know probably lives here.' I thought.

I eventually made it back to the first floor, only to hear fireworks. 'FIZZY!' I thought excitedly. I ran to the cut off side to see- not Fizzy.

It was some person with their back turned to me, and they were looking around the other side of the mansion. I decided I should probably get their attention, so I pulled out a snowball and threw it as hard as I could at them.

POV: Keralis

I flew to Bdubs's and Doc's mansion, to get a look for Bdubs's side. I had successfully bought it a few days ago, and now I was going to move it to my base.

I landed on the ground, looking at the magnificent building. 'Bdubs really did a good job with this.' I thought, walking around the building.

Suddenly I got hit in the head with a snowball. 'What the-' "DOC IF YOUR THERE I WILL STAB YOU-" I called, whipping around. But I did not see Doc. Instead I saw some reindeer-person, holding some snowballs.

They walked up to me, pulling out a sign and writing something on it. They turned it to me for me to read. 'Hi, I'm Polly, I'm mute, and yes, I threw that snowball at you.' It read. I laughed, smiling at the last sentence.

"Well, I'm Keralis!" I responded. Polly nodded, pulling back the sign, erasing the stuff on it, and writing more. They turned the sign back around, and I got to read it. 'What are your pronouns? Mine are she/her and they/them' it read. "I use he/him and they/them!" I responded. Polly smiled, pulling the sign back.

She wrote again, turning the sign back to me. 'Where am I?' It read. "You're in Hermitcraft! Me and a bunch of other people live here!" I responded. Polly nodded. The realization struck me that I should possibly tell Xisuma about this.

"Is it okay if I get my buddy Xisuma here? He's the admin and might be able to help you." I explained. Polly looked slightly confused but nodded. "Okay!" I responded.

I pulled out my communicator to type something to Xisuma.

<Keralis1> Hey, Xisuma? Can you come over to Bdubs's and Doc's mansion? I want to talk to you.

<XisumaVoid> Sorry, no. Admin stuff.

<Keralis1> oh, okay. Can we meet eventually?

<XisumaVoid> sure

I put the communicator back and looked at Polly. She had a face of pure confusion. "Xisuma said he's busy. He might come soon though!" I replied. Polly's confusion just increased.

"How about I take you to my base?" I asked. Polly nodded. I smiled. "Do you have an Elytra?" I asked. Polly looked even more confused. "I'm guessing that's a no. BOATING IT IS!" I responded, pulling out a crafting table.

'Let's hope this turns out alright.'
