Chapter Text
I can hear the cannons calling
As though across a dream
And I can smell the smoke of hell
In every stitch and seam

[1.6] TRANSCRIPT BETWEEN PLAYERS SMAJOR1995 NOXITE. WS : MINECRAFT CHAMPIONSHIPS.
SMAJOR1995 : We could’ve saved them–
NOXITE : -Scott–
SMAJOR1995 : We could’ve saved them, their data was–reconstructible two days after the explosion–they contacted us–we could’ve– If I had just been–faster– if I had figured it out a few days earlier–maybe they could’ve been– maybe we could still–maybe they could still be here.
NOXITE : Scott.
SMAJOR1995 : I could’ve saved them Noxite. I could’ve saved my friends.
NOXITE : You and I both know how impossible it is to retrieve data from players with deleted worlds as their main data sources.
SMAJOR1995 : That doesn’t mean I couldn’t have tried
NOXITE : You tried. You tried to contact them. You were the one who sounded the alarms on their disappearance. If we had waited any longer, we wouldn’t have anything to give to their loved ones. You did save them, Scott.
SMAJOR1995 : It doesn’t feel like it. It feels like I've failed them
——————————————————————————————————————
And when all the flowers are rotten
And all the cannons shot
I'll scream, but you won't hear
"Forget me not"

[1.7] TRANSCRIPT BETWEEN PLAYERS FWHIP NOXITE. WS : MINECRAFT CHAMPIONSHIPS.
FWHIP : I’m sorry, I just- I thought–
NOXITE : They came through today through messages, we estimate they were made around 1-2 weeks ago.
FWHIP : [excited] So this means they’re alive? I mean if they were able to send messages through the–
NOXITE : I checked all world-servers, and player files. Their files became invalid on 12/24, meaning they died for good around that time.
FWHIP : [dismayed] Oh
FWHIP : [angered] Then why are you telling me this? Why did you just give me hope if you’re just going to take it away–
NOXITE : Your sister sent her last goodbye messages here. I thought you’d like some closure on that part
FWHIP : [....] Does it ever get easier? This—loss?
NOXITE : That depends on how you deal with it, but no, I don’t think it does. I’m sorry.
FWHIP : I’ll give this to Sausage- I guess, thank you for this. I don’t know how much closer it’s going to give me, though.
NOXITE : I hope it’s enough.

And in years to come you'll wander
To the place up on our hill
And then you'll cry to our painted sky
"I loved him then, I love him still"

[1.7] TRANSCRIPT BETWEEN PLAYERS SOLIDARITYGAMING SMAJOR1995. WS : EMPIRES SMP
SOLIDARITYGAMING : We failed them, Scott. They were alive and we just- we didn’t even try– we could’ve–
SMAJOR1995 : There wasn’t anything we could’ve done. The data was too corrupted, the void eats player data within weeks, not unless we risked everyone’s lives.
SOLIDARITYGAMING : They were our friends, Scott. They were our friends. We could’ve at least tried, just maybe- just maybe- just– We could’ve, they could’ve been–
SMAJOR1995 : I’m sorry, I’m so sorry Jimmy
SOLIDARITYGAMING : Please leave, just please leave me. Alone, for now.
SMAJOR1995 : If you need anything, just let me know, alright?
SOLIDARITYGAMING : Just go, please.

And you'll strew some sage and lilies
And roses where I rot
Of all the flowers you picked
I knew you would forget
Forget-me-nots
