Work Text:
The Permit Office took an extended break after the holidays but as of the beginning of spring it was back and better then ever. That morning Cub sent out a reminder that they had a meeting. That morning had to hear the grumbles from Grian as he made the seagull avian this season safe coffee.
"Why did you have to schedule a meeting today, I was going to be productive,"
"Yesterday X announced that spawn moved, we had him do that, exile program, which, means we have to address Scar and Skizz about it,"
"But I was going to be productive, today," Grian whined again
"So what was going to go fix Tango's game yesterday?" Cub asked amused while setting the cup of safe coffee in front of Grian
"Being productive, I started and finished a project yesterday,"
"I'll see you at 1," Cub said before pressing a kiss to the avians forehead by his head-wing
"Bye Cub," Grian hummmed
The meeting happened at 1, Cub getting to the office first, and being the first one to see the fact No-Poe had vandalized the office. Now Skizz couldn't make the meeting fully which might have been a good thing as he would have died laughing on the ground when Grian and Scar got stuck on the area with the ladder. But after that the meeting was off.
Spawn was moved to be 30 million blocks away a permanent exile no acceptions. Then they went off, break Jevs bed exile him, hopefully squash the no poe there and then. They broke the bed, then it was a just waiting game and an acknowledgement they were also vulnerable to the exile. They thought they got him, but it turned out Spawn had not been changed at that time so Jevin had been spared for then.
They met up at the permit offices where they then attempted to experiment with Scar mostly as he drew the short straw so it was him they kept trying to exile and bring back.
It took a few attempts but when they thought they found a good one Grian gave a mischievous smirk to Cub before saying "Should we let him sweat a little bit,"
"What say uh oh or something in the chat,"
"Something like that," Grian said pulling out his comm and typing a bit before a message was sent to the world chat, Cub quickly pulled out his comm seeing the mesage he doubled down sending 'oh my,' and 'oh goodness,' which made Grian giggle and laugh.
At that Cub flipped the pressure plate and a sitting on the ground almost pale Scar returned before getting up and yelling at his cousin mostly saying "You had me real worried there for a minute, real worried," before joining in on the laughter.
At that they decided that killing Jevin was the next objective now that they knew it worked, as they were setting up Ender pearls for teleport just in case. Scar posed the question "Do you two want to see exile?"
That was a mistake as once Scar killed them and left them in exile he sent a mesage in chat of "Have a good time boys," before logging out he was back quickly but he decide to hit them with the uno reverse card. They didn't that day Grian went back to building and Cub when to fireworks and stocking horns.
Later at night around dinner time is when Grian appeared at Cubs base them having spent the last night at Grian's base. Grian appeared still in his permit office uniform.
"I thought I said something about the salmon tie, last time, only red or black ties, no patterns," Cub said amusement in his voice
"I wasn't wearing it earlier, I am not on duty at the current moment,"
"Fair enough, your going to keep trying to find a loop hole aren't you,"
"Of course, I may be the government, but I still hate government rules,"
"You anarchist," Cub said softly flicking Grian's nose
"Excuse me, I am a war starter,"
"It's the same difference,"
"It's not," Grian said his wings flaring and puffing up.

The big day found Cub starting it off repaying the damages done to the permit office by the no poe. They then all met up having Skizz set an ender pearl, before giving Cub the supplies and heading to Docs pig machine, where Cub got on, and Skizz pressed the note block sending him to the world border with the stuff. Once he got there, he flew out of the portal to where Grian, Scar and Skizz were standing.
It was there when Skizz asked "Whose going to flip our trapdoor that it dawned on them all, that they were stuck if they couldn't find someone to flip it activating their enderpearls. They decied to ignore that and started to build the new branch for the Permit office.
They then each recorded the same messages that when put when someone clicked the button. It was recorded with please hold playing in the back, and everytime they played the recordings back, once the music stopped Grian just kept humming along as if the music was still going, making everyone snicker a bit.
They then had to find a way back the best way here was to ask X to see if he could flip the trap door to teleport back. He was originally incredibly suspicious about that but he did return them to main land for which he got his Trial Chambers shop permit back.
Cub didn't do much following getting back but Grian did work on his base, eventually calling upon Cub to have him help with his redstone that he needed help with leaving with Grian understanding what was needed.
The following day they, Scar, Grian and Cub got to officially Exile Jevin. They had to check, where they then found out Beef had power over No Poe. They had Gem flick the lever to bring them back. Leaving them to be off work Cub to work on his pathways and Grian not doing much himself.
˚₊ ࣪‧˖𓇳˖ ࣪‧₊˚
Following this and the exiling of Cleo and Ren for a prank that killed Grian and Scar. For a few days following that Beef and Joe decided to be nuisance setting traps breaking beds, as well as other traps. Other meetings happened other plannings there was the happening upon a meeting with No Poe, moderated by Etho it didn't end up well explosions was the menu there.
Cub ended up taking a visit to the Exile on his own to give care packages and snoop then plans to defend his base.
One of the worst things Beef and Joe decided to do was found out when Cub called a meeting, Grian was late, then they all failed in trying to get books of crimes falling down quite a few times, but then Cub directed them to the basement where an egg of obsident both normal and crying was found, when Grian was investigating it, it blew from the Tnt inside it destroying the the ground and walls of Grian's hard work from months ago.
Grian was almost distraught over this leading to Cub, Scar and Skizz all pulling him into a hug, before immediately vowing to exile them when ever they had the chance. They all visited found out that X possibly got himself exiled. Cub and Scar when after Joe, it didn't work.
That night they were at Grian's base Cub looking off over at the fealds of wheat and the water and the trees leaning over the railings while fiddling with one of his snake bites with his teeth. A constant in thought move from Cub that Grian could always tell.
"Whats on your mind now?" Grian asked
"I have an idea, exile is currently a utopia, we should send an agent of chaos over there,"
"You want to go to exile then?" Grian asked
"Well sending Scar would be a choice, Skizz wouldn't be able to do it, and I would need you on this side of it, so yes,"
"Based on that your putting me back in charge as Permit Manger then,"
"I would be, yes,"
"When?"
"Whenever you finish the bunker,"
"I'll get to work on that, then,"
"Really taking that, then,"
"I'm not going to change your chaotic mind, will miss you but might as well help on it,"
"Are you being nice because one of us needs to cook,"
"Well I'm not going to starve because you are lost in thought," Grian said hitting Cubs firework glasses chain.
"How will you deal with me in exile then,"
"I can ask Skizz to cook possibly, trust him more then Scar,"
"Thats fair,"

So when Grian finished the bunker and they called all members of the Permit Office and Poe together Cub approached them on putting some out there, Grian volunteered before Cub said he wanted to go, to which Grian relented, but Scar said he wanted to go before it was decided that Cub was the best idea. From there Grian got put back in charge of the main land permit office.
Then Cub exiled himself which left Grian, Skizz, and Scar to fight the ender dragon to be able to give Cub his stuff.
From there everything became chaos even more then it was on both sides of the world, Cub dropped a whole bunch of anvils onto Ren's boat, Cleo rode back to original world spawn on a horse. Grian hosted a game of rigged Permit master which exiled a hole bunch of hermits to the point they had to change spawn back and have a court case to solve the issue which was left up to a coin flip, it was to say a rough couple of weeks.
But eventually and sadly the permit office closed, it made sense that it would be the decision but it made Grian sad, it also meant that Grian when he permanently closed the Permit Office.
The Permit Office the Poe had their wrap up with a nice dinner made by Cub and Skizz as Scar and Grian were not to be trusted in the kitchen. Grian then slightly kidnapped the members of the Poe and Cub to his nest for cuddles and sleep, he was going to miss the fun from those times thats for sure.
They all probably felt the same as there was no protesting from the other member not even Cub who probably wanted to work on his base. It was nice to have all of them there. It was a group that was definitely would be close even after this.
