I Love The Idea Of Everyone On Hermitcraft Being Some Hybrid Or Supernatural Creature Or Magic Or Something

I love the idea of everyone on Hermitcraft being some hybrid or supernatural creature or magic or something and it's totally normal in universe but Keralis is just some guy.

But the thing is, Keralis has no idea everyone else is supernatural, he just assumes they're also weirdos. And everyone else has no idea Keralis is just a human, they just assume he's also some kind of supernatural entity.

Because if you ask, everyone on Hermitcraft is like: "Oh Keralis? Of course he's magic or something. Have you met him? I don't know his deal but he's definitely not a human," but slowly they start to realize, "Hey hold on, do any of you know what the heck Keralis is? Have any of you actually seen Keralis do anything unambiguously magic?"

So the Hermits start watching him a little closer and start to see, actually no, he can't teleport. Keralis literally just sat up in Scar's tree for like three hours to appear behind him when he got home. He can't hypnotize anyone, he's just weirdly charismatic. Keralis isn't immune to fire, he's just really chill about burning to death. Keralis can't breathe underwater, he's just good at holding his breath and likes hanging out in xB's fish tank for some reason.

Everything they assumed was apart of his supernatural skill set is just a byproduct of him being really weird? The Hermits are totally baffled, how is Keralis the only human on the server? That can't be right. There are debates among different Hermits about their own pet theories.

Finally, one of them straight up asks in a meeting. When Xisuma asks if anyone has anything they want to talk about for the day, Jevin cuts in, "Okay, I know this isn't really what meetings are for but Keralis, buddy, we've been trying to figure out for like weeks. What are you?"

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"Like what are you? Are you a hybrid who didn't get many features? Are you a wizard? Are you undead? Cyborg? Genuinely. Everyone's been trying to figure it out." There are murmurs of agreement from the table.

Keralis nods his head like he understands (he doesn't), "Oh I get it now. I don't really play dress up like you guys. I've thought about it but I just don't even know what I would be," when he's only met with confused looks, Keralis tries clarifying, "I mean, sorry to drop the roleplaying, but it's like how Cleo isn't actually a zombie. It's makeup and such. I don't know what I would be. I've thought about it but I'm no good at making costumes or doing makeup, anyhow."

Everyone blinks at him, "I can literally detach all of my limbs, Keralis, what do you mean I'm not a zombie?"

Keralis tilts his head in confusion, "They're prosthetics, no?"

Tango cuts in, "Keralis, we're not roleplaying. At least not about this. I mean, you've literally seen me walk through a lava lake!"

xB chuckles, "Also, I both have fins and live underwater."

"Yeah hang on," Grian is the first to finally catch on to what's happening, "What did you think was going on when I literally flew with my actual wings that are attached directly to my back? I was good at DIY?"

"Uh...Yes?"

The whole table erupts into a bunch of confused conversations overlapping with each other. Some Hermits are just listing times they did something blatantly supernatural, half of them are just gesturing broadly at the most visibly obvious examples of 'not a human' at the table, and the rest are trying to question Keralis on how he could've ever possibly believed this.

Finally, Xisuma and Doc get the whole group settled down and Xisuma asks Keralis directly, "K, buddy, how did you think that we were all human?"

Keralis looks a little like his whole body is rebooting "Well, I — Shashwammy — I mean, monsters aren't real?" Keralis looked around the table for support, "I thought, I mean, aren't all of you are just normal people? I mean, not normal, you're like me. You're weird and have funny skills and weird and sweet faces and I love that! But I thought it was just like, a way of showing that weirdness? Are you guys pranking me? Because I don't know if it's funny anymore,"

Xisuma sort of laughs hesitantly, "We're not pranking you, K. I mean, magic is just all around us. With potions and enchanting. You have to see that. Some of us just come from different places."

Keralis is still really confused but the situation seems to be finally dawning on him. "Wait...am I the only human here? Shashwam?"

"Yeah, I think you might be, K,"

Somebody starts laughing and suddenly the whole meeting room is just cracking up.

"How did this happen?!" Impulse is a little breathless, "Keralis! The only human on Hermitcraft!"

Keralis shrugs and shoots Impulse a grin, "I guess it's just my killer personality and awesome cool skills that threw all of you off."

"I still can't believe that you just thought we were really into roleplay," Grian says.

"I—! Well, in my defense..." Keralis doesn't really know how to finish that sentence actually and the table starts laughing harder.

Everyone eventually settles down and xB speaks up, "Yknow, I think you should take everyone just assuming you were something as a compliment. Because it is! Only you. Only Keralis could somehow be the weirdest one of all of us as a totally human person."

"Only Keralis," Xisuma agreed with a chuckle.

"Awwe, you guys!" Keralis feels all mushy and happy, "Come over here and I'm going to give you all big kisses!"

Hermitcraft's local human tugs everyone into a big group hug, doomed to be mercilessly teased for every very obvious clue he missed until the end of time.
