The fading sunset of the Minecraft world cast long, amber shafts of light through the wooden cabin's windows. The scent of damp earth and the soft, persistent crackle of a wall-mounted torch accompanied the lively clamor inside: Blue stirring a murky cauldron, Yellow scribbling command sequences into a leather-bound book, Green humming a tune beneath his headphones, Red gently scratching the belly of his pet pig. TSC watched from the central table, meticulously sorting papers. Suddenly, the groan of the front door swinging open stilled all movement. Five pairs of eyes snapped toward you, you, standing on the threshold. The silence held for a breath, then shattered as you took a single step inside.
