    Summary

    Eyes opened by the thousand, all of them dark as ink, as it Watched. Waves crashed along sea cliffs and trees shook under the force of violent winds and fluffy white clouds lazed in the sky and people built little shelters and mountains stretched to meet the sun and… wait.

    There were people here.

    (In other words Grian is an Eldritch abomination and Xisuma just wants to know what the hell is going on.)

    If you notice anything, it leads you to notice more and more

    The humans talked, throwing bits and things into the passage they called Boatem Hole.
    The humans spoke to It, gentle and curious. They kept It company, called It a friend. It didn’t understand, but something beyond walls and walls of frosted glass and impermeable fog whispered pained and haunted behind It’s eyes with a voice that hurt to dwell on, don’t you remember this?

    Summary

    It's been almost two months since the ending of Third Life, since everyone returned from their eight week disappearances. No one knew where everybody had gone, and none of the participants knew either. Only one person had any memory of what went on during their kidnapping. One person, who seems to have come home with a little more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    The Watchers tell him that if he finds the ancient elytra, they can reverse the Cleanse, and he can go home. Grian has traveled countless realities trying to find it, sometimes for hours, sometimes for weeks. Every single time, he fails. Every single time, he's watched the light leave Scar's eyes.

    Now, he's at the end of the line, and the very man he's been trying to distance himself from insists on helping.

    Summary

    A strange man appears behind mushrooms out of thin air, sporting facial features that wouldn't make sense on a good day, pointed ears and black eyes, dressed like he's going to a dinner party in the middle of the forest and changing the temperature with his mere arrival.

    This isn't a person at all. This is a faerie.

    ...oh, clouds, he's just taken something that belongs to a faerie. He just snapped at a member of the fae.

    [or: mumbo is a little too nosy for his own well-being. luckily, the fae that he stumbles across is more intrigued than malicious and terribly, terribly bored. title from in the woods somewhere by hozier.]

    Summary

    As sweet by any other name—and pricks all the same

    Most humans traveling through the woods treat fae with both fear and respect. When Scar meets a human who shows neither, he’s instantly fascinated. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know the first thing about interaction with humans, let alone human courtship—so Scar settles on pestering the odd traveler to try and steal his name. That’s close enough, right?

    It wasn't too bad, really. After a while you learn to ignore the pain in your stomach, or the dizziness when you stand, or the hollow pits around your eyes. You keep your head down, tough it out, and eventually spring will come. Usually.

    Summary

    Throughout his life Grian's always hid his status as a shapeshifter, in fact he frequently wished that he wasn't one, that he had a stable an consistent form just like everyone else. One day The Watchers, in their endless cruelty, granted his wish in the worst possible way before forcing him into solitude for far too long for him to keep track. Now once again faced with players in the previously empty world, Grian really has no idea what to do.

    Summary

    Watchers live in a realm separate from the servers in their domain, not actively taking part in any one world within their jurisdiction out of disdain for the greed of players/humans.
    Listeners live closer to the servers as they are lesser known to the mortals, and they are not as powerful so they are less coveted by power-hungry parasites.
    Xelqua was a different sort of Watcher, having once been a player herself that the Watchers greatly favored for her lack of greed for power, just wanting to have fun and cause chaos.
    Xelqua had ventured to close to a server at the edge of the Watchers’ domain, and ended up summoned by a cult with no idea how to return back. (Although she mostly doesn’t care.)
    Wanting to know more about the mortals that she had once been among, she opted to venture the server in secret as the others figured out a way to bring her back.

    Summary

    Grian had been running for what felt like hours, gliding through the deep void in an attempt to escape the Watchers.
    After finally finding a server to hide in he quickly realises that it was, in fact, not abandoned as he had assumed.

    When Xisuma went to check the new Hermitcraft Server he saw an intruder hack into it - quite literally.
    Though it quickly turns out that the intruder was more a fugitive, running away from the very monsters the admin hated with his entire being.

    Walking a thin line between truth and lie Grian tries his best to cling to the new safe haven to heal up and hide from his captors, making more connections than he had preferred.
    Sadly the Watchers had their own plans with their little disobedient experiment.

    Summary

    Xisuma was having an almost normal day.
    All went downhill from there.

    -

    The Watchers’s declaration of war against mortals, among all the grandstanding, also boasted the capture of Xisumavoid, the Admin Voidwalker.

    It has consequences.

    Summary

    “You could not ban an interloper,” Gem suggested. “I mean, I’m-- I’m a cool person, I have skills.”

    Grian narrowed his black eyes at her. Gem wished she could be less aware of his shadow and the ridiculous aura around him, that hint of take a step back that most public server admins wielded as more of a uniform than anything, but she couldn’t stop feeling her skin crawl.

    She could feel the code access, if she focused on it. The server-level shifts that’d set her to adventure mode, and whatever had forcibly emptied her inventory on arrival so she didn’t have a single keepsake, so she didn’t even have her sweater.

    Grian must’ve done that remotely, as soon as he learned she’d shown up.
