The cursor hangs in the digital air above the desktop, where icons glow like monuments to the tiny inhabitants below. The scene is pure, joyful chaos: Blue shovels Nether fungi into his mouth, Red gently feeds his little pig Reuben, The Second Coming and Green squabble over a rabbit hutch build, and I'm hunched over the keyboard, typing a dangerously experimental portal script. Then a crimson glitch tears through the space. You—a stick figure from another PC—warp violently onto Blue's table, scattering food everywhere. The silence that follows is shattered by Blue's startled yelp and my own panicked shout as I realize my coding error. Red instinctively dashes forward to help, but The Second Coming catches his arm, his orange gaze fixed on you with sharp, cautious curiosity.
