An Appeal to Weird Runs in the Family.

'Ok, where do I start'. Techno looked at the half enderman half...something sleeping on his couch. He takes a bite of his potato, keeping his gaze on the creature. There's a lot of things to figure out. Where they came from, how they got into his base, how long they've been in his base, and how to get it out.

After finding them in his random block room and calming the child down with a block of cobblestone Techno noticed the state of the room. Chests were tipped over, dirt and stone covered the floor along with bits of raw chicken. Techno had not been to the base for a few weeks to avoid anyone following him or getting suspicious, so he has no idea how long the child has been there. Luckily (or unluckily he's not sure yet) he hasn't seen signs of any other mobs that could have spawned or snuck in. He also made it so that a few traps are hiding inside and outside the base in case someone tried to break in. He made sure the base was far enough underground so that an endermen couldn't teleport inside on accident. Long story short he has no idea how this kid got in. Is it even a kid? Fuck it's so late.

Techno yawns and goes to scratch his head before hissing in pain. He was so deep in thought he almost forgot the shape his body was in. He slowly brings his arm down quietly cursing under his breath. 'Damn that wither really did a number on my arm.' The damage done to his body already put a huge hole in his plans. This night alone already put him 3 days behind schedule. He's not going to allow his plans to be put on hold because some rando mob got into his base. Techno uses his sword like a cane to help him stand as he limps to the mob. The mob in a deep sleep holding their cobblestone close to their chest doesn't notice techno gently pick them up. They were very thin and light so it wasn't hard for Techno to sweep them up with his bad arm. (though it did hurt like hell.) The mob shifts in technos arm using their free hand to cling to his white blood-stained shirt. Techno limps to the exit and as the sun comes up techno places the still sleeping mob under a nearby tree. Techno then returns back to his base to make a proper breakfast and get a change of clothes.

The child opens their eyes expecting to wake up in the same storage room they've been waking up in for the past few weeks but instead finds themself on some soft grass. They quickly sit up darting around for the pink man. He scans the area finding nothing besides trees and grass as far as he can see. They feel tears well up in their eyes, they thought they finally found someone that was like them. A half pink and half red pigman with two different eyes. They sit holding the cobble and begin crying. The tears roll down their face hitting the ground making the organic grass shrivel up and die. As they cry they fail to notice the clouds darkening overhead.

Techno ate his carrots and chicken while gathering up all his broken armor. He planned on combining the leftover netherite to make new tools and weapons. After an hour of carrying heavy armor and tools from across his base and beginning the melting process, he decided to gather more food for the week. He grabs his hoe, seeds, and sharpest ax and makes his way outside the base. His main farm was a couple of miles away from his main base in case someone heard the loud livestock. He rather have someone find one of his many farms than find where he keeps a good portion of his things. He walks still using his sword like a cane to the only peaceful mob he's allowed anywhere near his base. Brick. He pets his horse he lovingly named Brick while guiding him outside of his well-hidden stable. The rain washes some dried blood out of technos long hair he's long forgotten to take care of. As Techno tries to figure out how to get on Brick with the least amount of pain he hears that cry again. It is the same cry that he heard last night in his storage room. Though this time it has a layer of fear and pain in it.

Before he could fully process what was going on, he was running trying to find the child. His body screams for him to stop but the only thing on his mind is to find the kid and make them feel better. He runs to the tree he left them at and finds them curled up trying to hide from the rain. Their cries are a mix of a ghast crying and an enderman being hurt. The rain hitting the white part of their skin seemed to turn into steam almost instantly.

Without hesitation, Techno picks them up, covers them with his cape, and brings them inside. The child with tears running down their face looks up at Techno. Techno quickly takes them to his room and wraps them in towels in blankets. The child seems paler and has more particles floating around him. They quietly cry and moan scarily similar to a ghast. They are dangerously low on health. He's fought enough mobs to know when one is about to die. Techno quickly limps to the junk chest in the corner of the room and pulls out a raw chicken. He doesn't even know if the chicken will heal them but it's the only thing he has on hand. He holds out the chicken then freezes. Why is he helping this kid? This is some mob that he'd usually kill. Why are they so different to him? He snaps out of his thoughts and sees the kid is just staring at the chicken. "Here kid eat, get your health up." The child looks up at the chicken and snatches it out of his hand. Techno goes to scold them but stops when he sees them unhinge their jaw and eats the chicken whole. Oh. So THIS is why Philza randomly adopted a weird hybrid child.
