Someone new joins the fray!
SuperHeroMan01 joined the game
The avatar logging in looks about as laz—I mean as completely original as you can get (donut steel), and definitely not like the character’s player just took a standard Steve skin and gave it spiky hair, an unreasonably large sword, some sort of old book, and what appears to be a large black spot on one of the knees (or where the knee would be if Minecraft characters had them).
Fear not, trapped players!
I have heard of your plight, and have come far and endured many trials to arrive here.
Now I am here, in an effort to fulfill a prophecy made centuries ago that I would come to single-handedly save every soul trapped in this server!
I hereby declare that the Acolyte shall soon be no mo—
Before SuperHeroMan01 could get any further in his speech (thank the old ones), to his horror, the black spot on his knee begins to move. His face shifts from its initial confident expression to surprise, and then to agony as the spot burrows through his pant leg and into his knee. SHM tries to use his sword to stab it, but this only results in the sword getting stuck in the spot, and then slowly pulled in and dissolved despite his best efforts to pull it back out. Then the spot expands, growing out over the rest of SHM’s leg, and then his torso, and on and on until it entirely encapsulates the now-screaming SHM as he flails uselessly to try to throw it off.
Before long, the muffled screams of the dying SHM cease, and all that is left is a decently large black blob. Then, the blob shifts, molding itself into a shape fairly reminiscent of its prey, though mostly retaining its black coloration. Its eyes, one of the only areas that came out something other than black, simply looking like Ste—I mean SHM's, open and allow it to see its surroundings for the first time. It immediately notices that everyone and everything else around it is locked in mortal combat. It decides that, tempted though it may be to do so, it is not going to just go and attempt to devour everyone it sees. It has a job to do, as did its unfortunate unwitting chauffeur. So, it decides to lunge at one of the hammer mooks and begins attempting to engulf it.
It also starts subtly altering itself in preparation for something.
