    Summary

    “The articles say this facility works with… “ he shook his head. “With sea… creatures. Like, paranormal. I don’t…”

    Pearl huffed, amused. But it felt different from before. Not as cold. Not as real. “Mate, are you trying to tell me we got the kraken back there? You saying mermaids are real?”

    Now it was Mumbo’s time to scowl. He whirled back around. “Gosh darn it, I know Mer are real! There's one in my bathtub!"

    ---

    If Mumbo had known trying to help the hurt Mer in the hidden inlet in the cliffs included side effects such as driving hours through the woods, meeting a woman with a gun, a strange man wearing a metal mask, getting involved in a car chase, and ending up stuck in a secret facility in the middle of nowhere, he maybe would just have called a vet. Altough, looking back at it, maybe all isn't so bad.

    Summary

    Grian looks at him, his hand, and then meets his eyes again. He hesitates. “How do I know this isn’t just a ploy to get me to lower my guard?” He asks. “You realize how suspicious you sound, right? I mean, no one is ever entirely honest right off the bat. They usually have something hidden up their sleeves. So what's up yours?”

    Scar grins, and he finds that he’s already loving this idea. He looks at this stranger in front of him, someone burning uncontrollably and so clearly needing an output. He looks at Grian and finds himself reminded of a bird, one with ruffled feathers too messy to fly. Yes, that'll do nicely. “Well, songbird,” Grian lets out a weird noise at the pet name, “there really isn’t any way to prove it to you right now besides word of tongue. Besides, maybe I truly have nothing to hide.”

    Summary

    Grian's life on Hermitcraft is just a respite from being a Watcher. The deal was that Grian had one life, one chance, as a player, and when his inevitable end happened, his service as a Watcher puppet would resume. He thought he had plenty of time, a full life, he was promised. Then he died; so suddenly, and he pleaded relentlessly for another chance. Surprisingly, the agreed, as long as he did one simple thing

    YOU TELL THEM.
    “…what?”
    YOU TELL THE HERMITS. YOU TELL THEM ABOUT US. YOU EXPLAIN CLEARLY WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
    Grian’s lungs ripped open inside his chest. The rest of him remained frozen, icy glass set to break if he so much as twitched.
    Tell the Hermits. Show his inner code and story. Lay himself bare for their scrutiny. Reveal the truth about the Watcher, the pain, hiding under the surface.

    Summary

    “You-” and he stops, starts again, like a faulty disc in a jukebox. “You helped me?”
    Scar frowns. “Of course, Angel,” he starts, tries to play off the slip of the name that is definitely not his actual name, “I mean, what else would I do, it’s not-”
    “Angel?” the figure repeats.
    He decides to just face it. “Well, you’ve got - like, the wings and everything. I needed something to call you in my head.”
    Then, perks up. Smiles, “Will you tell me your name then?”
    Angel shakes his head. “Fat chance,” he says. Scar scowls.

     

     

    ❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・

    Scar finds 'Angel' in his garden in the middle of the night, covered in blood, bruises and code burns, with ripped silk robes and enormous white wings he doesn't seem to be quite used to. He won't tell him his name, and he's lying about what exactly he is, and about what's happened to land him in the middle of Boatem. And all of this seems to be correlating with Mumbo's... moods. It's been normal for him to grieve at this time every year, what with that freak accident server glitch seven years ago, but this year... it feels different. Like there's something more going on, that Scar just doesn't know about.
