## Early Days

Cursive first met Zombie because he had scared both Suni and Cursive, Zombie then told Cursive that his snooping was not appreciated. Zombie proceeded to spy on Cursive as the months went by, only to find out that Cursive had been in contact with the multiversal person known as Ruby. Cursive then used a line of questioning to get information out of Ruby, this information being blueprints for a machine capable of traveling back to the specific world that Ruby was living in which was requested by and given to Zombie. Suni was the first person to find out about Ruby and the way to communicate with him through the candle because she walked in on Cursive and Ruby talking. Sam found out about Ruby next the same way. Somehow Jayden found out about Ruby as well.

## Ruby's Relationship to Zombie

This aforementioned Ruby does have ties to Zombie as Zombie was previously called Emerald by Ruby and the two did have a business like relationship before Zombie coming to Cedar and the memory loss that followed. Ruby has talked of Zombie before him coming to Cedar in the sense of Zombie being Emerald who eventually turned into this corrupted person with the intention of hurting others and is damaged to some degree

## Cursive's Communication towards Ruby

Ruby eventually changed his way of communication from a fern and a green candle to a poppy and a red candle. Cursive eventually builds a bunker that is underground and he moves Ruby’s candle in there. Cursive has another talk with Ruby saying that he doesn’t know what to do to stop the machine from furthering in building progress, Cursive says to Ruby that it now has a battery to which Ruby responds with the idea that he could shut off an entrance to the conduit in his world to allow enough power to go through so it would blow up the machine. Cursive, Jayden and Suni called Ruby to tell him about the Stik situation which Ruby was not happy about. Cuddle is eventually told who Ruby actually is and why it is so important for Cursive to stop the machine from being set off.

## Construction of The Machine

Construction on the Machine was slow due to the amount of copper needed and the design of it. Cursive as the months went by would often go to check up on the machine to see if it was ‘progressing’ while seemingly doing nothing about it. Cursive has called Ruby on multiple occasions to update him on the building of the machine, calling him once to say that Zombie had even took it down which Ruby promptly responded with “He’s going to build it bigger because of the immense power it needs”. Ruby’s theory of Zombie tearing down the machine to make a bigger and better one was later proven correct as Cursive and Zombie were talking. The machine also had a few gemstones powering it, the first one to show being Amethyst. As the machine was being built, there were four spires created to hold the gems that helped in the powering of it. Time goes on, the machine eventually oxidizes turning green due to it being made out of copper, Cursive during that time was told by Zombie that a second battery was being built and would likely have details added onto it after. Two large towers those being batteries for the machine were built on either side of the main part of the machine in order to gain power from lightning strikes that happened during storms. A control panel was built for the machine containing two levers (lever that sets it to charge and another lever that sets off all energy at once) and a tower containing five redstone lamps to measure the amount of power that it was charged at. Zombie finishes the machine off with the gemstones that helped in powering it which was amethyst, emerald, diamond and ruby, though the ruby was falsified as it was merely red colored glass. Through the coming months, the machine slowly charges in power eventually reaching it's peak at the start of season two of Cedar SMP

## Major Events

* There was a point where Cursive had fallen off the machine and was injured

* Cursive did try to blow up the machine to after the conversation with Ruby but Zombie spotted him and that ended his plans to try

* Suni, Jayden and Cursive went to see how the machine was doing and messed around with the levers too much that it set it off, bringing one of Cursive’s old friends named Stik which at the time Cursive was not on good terms with, but they sorted out their differences. Zombie questioned them the next day because he noticed that the charge had gone from two redstone lamps to zero to which Cursive hid the truth from him about messing with it and bringing Stik back by accident. Zombie eventually finds out about the situation with Stik and is not happy to know that Cursive and the others messed around with the machine. Cursive tries to apologize for a messing with the machine and telling Ruby about Zombie’s plans to build and use the machine, but Zombie doesn’t want to hear it. Cursive became sort of a recluse after trying to apologize to Zombie and Zombie not forgiving Cursive right away, he calls Ruby to ask for comfort but Ruby doesn’t really comfort him and instead give him some tough love. Cursive again goes to apologize to Zombie, but it doesn’t do much and Cursive dies several times and gets his house wrecked in the process. Zombie eventually forgives Cursive for what he did and moves on from the whole debacle which puts Cursive and Zombie back on good terms again

* Come the start of season two, Zombie sets it off the machine, but it malfunctions and explodes killing Cursive, knocking out Zombie and injuring several villagers in the process. What remains from the wreckage of the machine is Stik who came back for a second time and is in Cedar now permanently. Zombie was exiled from the village due to several people getting injured in the explosion of the machine and Cursive dying
