《New World +》Ch.26 A Simple Moment
Advertisement
Leaving his little hut Andrew walked out in and experienced what he could only described as culture shock as he watched the rapid and chaotic movements going on around him. He understood immediately why he was able to have his own house even though there were sure to have been many injured from the dragon attack. all around him where huts organized and well made with hanging gardens on them and around them there was even a rudimentary road of packed dirt slightly elevated and leading to clay troughs that lead to the many gardens and wells around the newly made town.
"How did all of this get made in three days?" Andrew felt flabbergasted as he looked around moving out of the housing area he moved to what he thought was the fields and was equally surprised by the fairly large fields and the large river that ran parallel to them it seemed that the town proper was about half a mile out from the river Andrew figured it was a measure against flooding. Moving down to the river and the fields around it he saw some people fishing by the river.
"How's it going catch anything wait is there even anything to catch?" Andrew asked as he grew closer walking up to greet the fisherman Andrew recognised Lance and Daved as well as Kyle how Andrew hadn't seen much of since that first day.
"Holy shit!" Kyle shouted as the three noticed Andrew approach "He's alive!" Kyle's loud exclamation got him a slap from Daved.
"Shut up man you'll scare the fish away." Daved hissed out as Lanced started to elbow his side, grumbling Daved took something from his pocket and gave it to Lance before turning his attention back to the river.
"Do I want to know what that was about or not?" Andrew asked as he sat next to the three of them.

"Probably not" Lance answered as he counted out what Andrew now saw was monopoly money.
"Don't you guys have better things to do then bet on people's lives?" Andrew asked sighing as Lance shrugged to answer "Honestly I don't know what to be more upset about that you only bet fifty bucks or the fact that you even have fifty bucks in monopoly money means that someone in our group has the kids version of monopoly."
"if you want something to really be upset about, how about the fact that people brought string and hooks but no one has a fishing rod. You can make string and hooks out of almost anything trying to make a good fishing rod from sticks and rocks is like ... well I don't really know what its like but its not pleasant that's for sure." Daved muttered angrily.
"What's his problem?" Andrew whispered to Lance.
"Hasn't been his day for catching fish if you get my meaning." Lance whispered back "Also he's down fifty bucks thanks to a cuerten adventures cripple, got to hand it to you though even I figured you'd be out for another day or two glad I low balled ..." Lance stopped half way as Daveds elbow landed heavily in his stomach. "Motherfucker why!!!" Lance choked out as he clutched his gut.
"That's not a funny joke." Daved replied.
"What joke!" Lance yelled.
"How are you holding up Andrew no pain I hope." Daved continued ignoring Lance as he did.
"Not bad hand still burns but that's going to go away supposedly." Andrew replied while waving his stump.
"OH right the hand sorry man." Lance apologised as Andrew shrugged it off.
"By the way why are you fishing out here like this wouldn't it be easier to just make a fish trap and then come back in a few hours?" Andrew asked trying to divert the topic.

"No they have those set up a whiles down for here were doing this for the fun of it." Daved Answered the question as he picked up one of the poorly made fishing rods and cast it's line back out into the river.
"I see." Andrew said as he turned a questioning eye to Lance that had just smacked his hand in to his face.
"So are they normally this dense or are they just in rare form today." Kyle asked Lances how simply shaked his head Daved almost always Andrew usually keeps on his toes maybe to on his toes?"... "Hey Andrew are you air headed?" Lance asked Andrew turned and glared at Lance as the boy tried to explain himself "Well you know what I meant when I said he had trouble fishing didn't apply to this right?"
"Yes I'm not an idiot." Andrew replied still glaring.
"Oh well why did you ..." Lance started before being interrupted.
"Because I wanted to know I can be curious about actual fishing you know." Andrew finished Lance just had a confused look on his face but shrugged it of. "Any way I wanted to know whats been going on in town while I was gone how did everything get to this level so quickly?"
"It's not that surprising I could just say magic but I think you'd probably hit me if I did still its not a really bad explanation using the magic circle that Lee pieced together and the magic stones that can be mined in the mountains constructing things is much easier and goes by much faster the first day you were out Lee and some of the others tried a bunch of things and the next day we were using them to build shit you should see the furnaces they've made for when we find iron it's pretty crazy." Kyle answered "Honestly I don't even understand half of how it works but apparently not knowing something isn't a limiting factor I think Lee compared it to flying or riding a bike people don't really understand why it works just that it does get it?"
"Probably." Andrew answered with a shrug. "But you answered more than I asked there." Andrew finished as he got up and started to walk away.
"Hey were you going." Daved asked as Andrew started to move.
"To meet with Lee he probably has more answers then you three stooges do." Andrew aswerd
"Well if you meet with Don tell him I would like to talk with him when hes got the time ok? Daved asked Andrew nodded in reply before walking off again.

Courier
Zoe Blanco moved to New York after fleeing the small town she grew up in and the Purity Church that controls it. The Church believes in keeping humanity pure. This means none of the NanoPCs known as Frames or any other cybernetics that most of the rest of the world uses and enjoys everyday. Upon arriving in the Big Apple, Zoe is picked up by her cousin and witnesses a courier weaving their motorcycle through traffic. Zoe envies the courier's freedom. Couriers transport data and on occasion small objects for anyone willing to pay the price. Secured delivery is guaranteed and no questions are asked. Like having a human servant in this corporate owned world, using couriers is seen as a status symbol for the wealthy and corporate elite. New York's criminal underground uses couriers for similar reasons. This gives the hundreds of couriers in NYC steady work. After weeks of not finding a job while living with her aunt and cousin, Zoe turns to her slicing skills to steal credits from the Purity Church and turns to the mob so she can get a loan to pay for the internal secure storage space a courier needs and a frame for herself. After making an unlicensed run or two, Zoe finds employment with a transport company and truly starts her life as a courier. This story is a mix of light scifi, cyberpunk, slice of life, a dash of action, and a smidge of fantasy. Slicing is what hacking is called in this story. Credits are currency in this story.

Invader Zim >> Not Just a Defect <<
First of all, this is my first Invader Zim story. Second of all, I never even watched the show when it first came out, considering I thought I was too old to be watching a Nickelodeon TV show. It wasn't until a couple weeks ago when one of my favorite YouTubers, Saberspark, did a review on the new Invader Zim movie. He said a lot of good stuff about the show, and how much he love jt, so I decided to give it a try. I immediately started loving the show after watching the movie first (should have started with the TV show, but I wasn't thinking at the time and wanted to see ehh Saberspark liked it so much (>w>)) Anyway, this story will be taking place AFTER the movie, Invader Zim Enter the Florpus. It will be taking place a couple weeks, maybe a month, after the Florpus incident, so not much would have changed. Again, if you know the artist of the Cover Art used for this story, please tell me so I could credit them properly. Anyway, I hope you'll all enjoy this story as much a I will enjoy writing it (^v^/) (Don't worry I ask permission to post and share it's book it belongs to Veronika1930) https://www.wattpad.com/story/199046111-invader-zim-%E3%80%8Bnot-just-a-defect-%E3%80%8A
