I have read all of the above and will be paricipating as a writer.
Here is my first entry:
Title: Uncle Blade
Techno stared at the door of the wooden cabin, pulling his robe around him to warm himself up.
Should he knock? It wouldn’t exactly be right to just burst into his adopted brothers house. He had killed him that one time.
Techno took a deep breath of the frigid air. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock.
Techno heard some scuffling behind the door. And when it opened he saw Ranboo peeking out at him. “T-techno! What are you doing here!” He said, he sounded surprised.
“Just thought I'd visit my brother and friend.” Techno replied.
“Daddy, who is that?” A high pitched voice said.
Techno looked down and saw that a young piglin boy in a yellow striped sweater and a jumper, clutching Ranboo’s leg and staring up at him. His hair was the same kind of pink that Techno’s had been when he was younger, before the grey hairs started popping up.
“Micheal, why don’t you go to your room” Ranboo said..
“But Daaaad-” The boy started to say.
“To your room Micheal” Ranboo said sternly. “Now”
“Fine” The boy ran away and Techno heard him climbing up stairs.
“An orphan?” Techno asked suspiciously.
Ranboo sighed. “We found him in the Nether, he was all alone and we just couldn’t leave him”
“I asked if he was an orphan Boo, not his entire backstory” Techno teased. He wasn’t sure about calling Ranboo, Boo, it was a nickname he had given him when he was living with Techno and Phil. Whelp, too late now.
“Right sorry, umm, come on in” Ranboo stepped to the side so Techno could enter the small cabin.
“Where’s Tubbo?” Techno asked, as he sat down in a wooden chair.
Ranboo, who had gone over to the kitchen and was making himself some coffee, looked up at Techno. “He is visiting Tommy, he should be back soon”
Techno nodded. Tubbo and Tommy had always been the best of friends. Techno had unfortunately never had that kind of relationship with his brothers.
“So the boy, is an orphaned piglen?” Techno asked in an attempt to start a conversation.
“His name is Micheal and he has parents, me and Tubbo” Ranboo said, a hint of anger in his voice.
Techno flinched. Ranboo had never been one to get angry so Techno could tell that Micheal meant a lot to him. He could also tell that Ranboo did not really like the idea of someone whose sword's name is ‘Orphan Slayer’ being near his son.
“Relax Boo, I won’t hurt him” Techno tried to comfort Ranboo. “In fact i want to get to know him”
Ranboo raised an eyebrow at this. “You want to get to know Micheal?” His voice was full of doubt but still Techno detected something else, hope?
“Of course,” Techno replied. “Maybe I can teach him some stuff”
“Some stuff?” Ranboo asked suspiciously.
“Come on Boo,” Techno replied. “He is the son of two of the most known people in this world, he is going to need to know some basic defense”
Ranboo thought about it. “I guess…”
“Wonderful” Techno cut him off. “I would like to meet him”
Ranboo seemed taken aback by this. “You want to meet him, now?”
“Well yes,” Techno realized that what he had had been a bit intruding and he hurried to add, “If it's ok with you of course”
Ranboo nodded. “I guess it's ok” He walked over to a ladder. “His room is up here.”
“Right” Techno quickly got up from his chair and walked over to Ranboo.
Ranboo climbed the ladder, opened the trap door, and poked his head inside what Techno assumed was Micheals room. “Micheal, you have a visitor” He called.
Ranboo climbed back down and stepped aside so Techno could climb up into the room.
Techno climbed up the ladder and got to his feet. The room was a bit cramped and there were little toy blocks everywhere. The most noticeable thing about the room was probably the racecar bed in the corner and the young piglen boy sitting on it.
“Hello Michael,” Techno said, trying to sound cheerful and more like someone who is good with kids.
“Who are you?” The young boy asked. His curious tone made Techno smile.
“I’m your uncle,” Techno said. “Call me Uncle Blade”
“Ok Uncle Blade” The boy replied cheerfully. “Do you wanna see a magic trick?”
Techno chuckled. “Sure why not.”
Micheal squealed in happiness. He hopped off of his bed and ran over to Techno. “Can I have one of your bracelets?” He asked, tugging at Techno’s hand. “It's for the magic trick.”
Normally Techno would have said no and flinched away from the boy's hand but something about Micheal reminded Techno so much of his younger self.
“Sure,” Techno said, as he undid the clasp to one of his golden bracelets and handed it to Micheal.
Micheal took it and put it flat in his hand. “I’m gonna make it disappear!”
Techno raised an eyebrow at this but let the kid do his thing.
Micheal spun around in a circle and then held out his hands to show that the bracelet was no longer in either of them.
“Whoah where did it go?” Techno said in a playful tone. He decided not to mention that he could see the bracelet in the front pocket of Micheals jumper.
“And now I will make it reappear,” Micheal announced. He spun around again and held out his hand to show that the bracelet was there again.
Techno laughed. “Wow, how did you do it?”
“A good magician never tells his secrets,” Micheal said in a very serious tone.
Techno chuckled once again then glanced down at his watch. “Well kid i think its about time that i have to go”
“Awww why can’t you stay?” Micheal pouted.
“Sorry buddy i have some… stuff to do,” Techno decided not to tell him that he would probably be going back home and then immediately going to get more wither skulls.
“Okay” The boy said sadly, he held out his hand with the bracelet in it towards Techno. “Here is this”
Techno sighed. “Why don’t you keep it”
Micheals eyes lit up. “For real, I can keep it?” He asked excitedly.
“Of course,” Techno replied. “That way you will always remember me”
Micheal nodded and put the bracelet on. “Thanks Uncle Blade”
“No problem kid, no problem”
(Sorry its longer than i though it would be)
