From Strangers to Friends

RBN || Jakarta

On a Sunny day in Robloxia, Tobias was gardening. It was his specialty, after all.
“Wowie, My Garden sure is beautiful! Praise the Dirt Gods that it is- ehehe..” He laughed.

He continued tending his Garden, treating it like it’s his dear child! Once that was over, he decided to give random people some.. 𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘵. Right, he’s a part of a 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵.. A cult where they believe in dirt gods. And it won’t be much surprising once you find out that most of the members are Gardeners like Tobias.

Anyways, Tobias grabbed a pile of dirt and placed it in his bag. Once done, he went outside to look for some people to give the dirt to.
When strolling, he found a victim- AHEM, i mean person.. to give the dirt to.

The person was fancy-looking, having a Hood over their head. What’s more interesting, was that the person had 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴.

The wings reminded Tobias of Telamon.

Tobias walked over to the winged-man, creeping up behind him.
“𝘏𝘌𝘓𝘓𝘖!! Would you like some dirt?” He asked loudly, making the man flinch.

“𝘈𝘏!- oh uh.. i-.. Sure??” The man replied, clutching his chest as if his heart exploded.
Tobias smiled brightly (-yet creepily) at the man’s response, offering a handful of dirt.
The man took the dirt, smiling awkwardly at Tobias. They both had a moment of silence, but Tobias broke the silence.
“Wanna be my friend?? The dirt gods will love you!!” Tobias offered, clasping his hands together.
“𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘥𝘴..?? Uh.. Sure. The name’s Benjamin, you..?” Benjamin replied.
“I’m Tobias! Call me Toby- or Tobe.. Your choice, heh..” Tobias responded, smiling awkwardly- but i think that’s his actual smile.

“huh, alright.. You from ’round here, Toby?” Benjamin asked, his hand leaning on his hip.
“Yeah, i live juustt right.. there!” Tobias pointed to his own house, his house was simple.. Not too small but not too big.

Benjamin nodded in response, glancing at Tobias’ house as if taking his time to remember it.
Right then, a Woman with cyan-colored hair was walking past them. Bravely enough, Tobias walked over to the woman- obviously going to offer her a pile of dirt..
“𝘏𝘈𝘐!! want some dirt??” Tobias offered once again.
“𝘌𝘌𝘒!! oh- uhm.. i guess..?” poor girl, she got startled by Tobias’ way of socializing.

“SPLENDID!” Tobias exclaimed, giving her the pile of dirt. the girl took it with a concerned look, because who wouldn’t be concerned when a stranger suddenly offers you a pile of dirt?

“Hey, d’you wanna be my friend?” Tobias asked, I’m surprised he doesn’t feel socially anxious when making friends.. Then again, being in a cult is weird enough anyways.

The woman looked at Tobias with a blank look, processing the fact on why Tobias gave her dirt.. Then proceeded to ask if she wanted to be his friend? Truly strange.
“uhm.. Sure?” the woman replied, still surprised on Tobias’ random actions.
Tobias was practically jumping up and down from Joy, because he just made 2 friends!
Tobias looked back at Benjamin again, who was still standing in the same spot where Tobias left him in.

“Hey Birdman!” Tobias called out.
Benjamin was caught off-guard, did Tobias just call him a.. Birdman?? For short, Tobias is calling Benjamin “Birdman” because of Ben’s wings.
He’s just lucky enough not to get called “Chicken” by Tobias, ’cause i heard that someone named Shedletsky lives around here.. And i assure you, he will eat anything that either looks like, or is named a “Chicken”.. Regardless if the person isn’t a chicken.
Back to the point- Benjamin walked over to Tobias, Cocking his head at him.

“Yeah? What’s up?” Benjamin asked.
“We have a new friend! Her name is uhh.. What’s your name?” Tobias looked at the woman, slightly guilty for not asking her name first.

“.. 𝘠𝘶𝘪. My name is 𝘠𝘶𝘪.” The woman responded.
“-Right! Yui, her name is Yui.” Tobias announced.
“Yui, this is Benjamin—and Benjamin, this is Yui!” Tobias introduced themselves to one another.

“Hi.” Benjamin greeted.
“Hello..” Yui greeted him back.
After another awkward moment of Silence, Tobias pulled them all together in a tight hug.
“D’aww! We’re gonna be such good friends!!” Tobias exclaimed, Yui and Benjamin are probably going to die of suffocation because of him!

Is this the end? Who knows.. But more will come, that’s for sure.
