It was a quiet night on the streets of PlanetMinecraft City. Everyone was at the LiveTV Arena, watching the return of the legendary “PMC Podcast” series. One of the key users in the original series left after some unfortunate events occurred, which soon led to the series’ cancellation. Naturally, after so many years all of the city’s users were eager to see this revival. All except one.


The story of the user null_string started out a couple of years after the city was built. This user kept to herself to an extent that no one really knew anything about her. Submissions were not her strong point and the same could be said for “Chatroom” activity. However, she had a great interest in the “Forum” center, which was the primary place for discussions of a more intellectual nature. Because of null_string’s low activity in the “Chatroom”, she had no prior knowledge of the “PMC Podcast”, so on the night of the premiere, all she could do was take a walk around the park.


The park was divided into two main sections - the Member section, which had a board of all current citizens of PlanetMinecraft City and the Team section, which had a board of the city’s high ranking officials. As null_string walked towards the part of the path that split into two, each part leading to one of the two sections, she noticed two figures doing something with both boards in the park. This puzzled her, because there were only two people who could modify those boards, both of which should have been at the LiveTV Arena. Quickly, she shouted:

“Hey! What are you two doing?”


The figures suddenly turned, both at the exact same moment. From the distance null_string stood from, they seemed like they were the same person entirely. In the blink of an eye, they both started running, both on parallel sides, both at the same time, both the same way.


Instead of chasing after them, null_string came closer to the boards, trying to determine what the two figures were doing. She looked at the Member board first, but couldn’t find anything of interest because of the large amount of text there. She couldn’t find anything relevant on the Team board either, until she noticed a small but important detail. According to the board, there were currently eleven “Chat Moderators”. She began counting:

One.

Two.

Three.

…

...Nine

Ten.

It was in that moment that null_string realized: one member had been erased from the board.

Why are you even looking here?

How’d you get your teeth so pearly?

Dew drop dentures

White washed faces

She runs from the third world, pearly


Vanilla (feel it closing in)

Milkshakes (calling back again)

That’s where (I feel it closing in)

She got her (climbing back again)

Sweet tooth (make it go away)
