My Darling, The Devil Knows My Name

Summary:

"In a field of fun, previous champions, participants and more will come.
With bows and brains, they clash and fight...

This riddle cannot predict the game, for that lies amongst those who Watch.
Or will we be unkind, can we take a player to snatch."

Only hear our words, for this is not your concern.

You are our puppet. You will play our game [redacted].

(aka. an angst filled, cursed Minecraft Championship for the hermits and friends)

Notes:

Title from "The Garden" by The Crane Wives.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: pawns being placed

Chapter Text

It is time for the games to begin once again.

 

Yes, but to whom would enter, who would we choose?

 

I usually put teams together. I'll just send out to usual invit-

 

No, coloured one. We have other plans. Other plans to which we bring more entertainment.

 

Well… we haven't switched up the event in a while.

 

It wasn't your choice. It wasn't an option.

 

May I ask, what do you mean?

 

I believe you already know of our thoughts, but yet, not of our plans young prince.

 

Will there be any danger-

 

Not to you. Not to your team and two teams of your choice.

 

Two teams, under our protection, under our rules, our game. Heed our words, hear our voices and don't think too much for your human brain cannot contain it all.

 

In a field of fun, previous champions, participants and more will come.

With bows and brains, they clash and fight.

 

Each duel a dance, the tale unfolds. Of bravery, and hearts that are bold.

Victory's a prize, a crown of worth. For the one with spirit; luck rebirth.

 

Who stands the tallest when the battle's done?

Who will claim the glory, or will there be none?

 

Can you guess the one who losses their mind?

Or which person's action will be kind?

 

This riddle cannot predict the game, for that lies amongst those who Watch.

Or will we be unkind, can we take a player to snatch.

 

Only hear our words, for this is not your concern.

 

You are our puppet. You will play our game Smajor.

 

For it is destiny , for our entertainment. The Watchers will be pleased.

 

 

 

 

 

I do not associate with the Watchers- y-you know this!

 

Your backlash is not appreciated.

 

I came to you two for suggestions! Not to play another life series for your liking. And you're not dragging 'others' into this torture you put my friends through. Not again will you control any bloody games.

 

This is not a bloody game, they play for a greater plan. A greater purpose, not just for us.

 

No! You are not to go through with this! I-I won't-

 

You are our puppet.

 

I will not play your game! I'm done with you two, MC Championship will not run this month.

 

You have no option. We are in control.

 

For your time has come, the game will continue for those who watch, for those who read are too curious for it to not. The time has come for the hermits to prove their worth to us, for they have no choice but their own moving limbs. They all will play our rules, one teams will win, one will lose. We will choose our favourite trophy's.

 

For the hermits are famous and it will make their day.

Notes:
