Iskall ended up taking the bottom bunk and me taking the top. I woke up and saw Iskall sitting at the table mumbling something under his breath. 

I climbed off of the bed and landed on the floor (I was wearing socks so I was pretty quiet.) I walked up behind him and heard him rambling on about the whole incident and how anyone else could have saved Mumbo and so on. [Socks in bed are amazing, shush children]

I came from behind him and gave him a friendly hug. 

"Iskall you know I won't let you continue to beat yourself up about this, many people would just freeze up and just accept their death but you acted and quickly at that! You dealed really well with the sudden shock and stress. You acted quickly on instinct, not everyone has an instinct like that!! And look you succeeded, you escaped!" 

"I- How do you do this? I really don't deserve you Stress," he said nuzzling against my neck before standing up, heading back to bed. I think he was also partly too tired to argue.

 "Wait, wait, wait, wait, you think I'll let you sleep after that! Heck no! Let's have some fun!" I said smiling, heading to a cupboard. 

I grabbed two pool noodles, a grin growing on Iskall's face. We had noodle wars all the time when we were younger and I kept them for occasions like this! 

"Whoever wins gets two diamonds," I said handing him a pool noodle. 

 "Well you're gonna lose 2 diamonds today!" He said brightening up. 

We had a lot of games of our pool noodle war and I ended up winning 18 to 15. Then we practically passed out on our beds, we were having our noodle war for nearly two hours! This is the silly fun everyone needs once in a while!

There was a double attack today!
From the chat I figured out that  'Grian' attacked Mumbo and Iskall. Iskall being the only one to escape but I need to do some more digging because a good detective can't assume.

I left my journal at that and gave Bdubs a smile and a pleasant wave before I headed out, I flew to my portal quite elegantly, if I do say so myself.

I thought it would be best to head to Iskall's tree but after 10 or so minutes of searching he definitely wasn't there. Then I logically headed to the town hall to see if he was around the shopping district but there was still no sign of him.

I was worried incase he had done something he would regret. I thought I would just send a message to him quickly to make sure that he hadn't.

[Private messages]

GoodtimewithScar: you holding up okay?

Iskall85: yeah thanks, had a sleepover with Stress. How are you doing with Grian's death? I know you two were pretty close,

GoodtimewithScar: I haven't seen a death message yet so I'm keeping my hopes up!

Iskall85: yeah I'll do that too,

v.v

Iskall definitely didn't have hope for his friend because of how long he took to respond but I believe G can break through!

I didn't want to go bother Iskall if he was having fun with Stress so the investigation will have to be put on hold. Though, I could help Xisuma with the changeling and also see if anything else happened with TFC that I don't know about.

I messaged Bdubs saying I was going to help X with the changeling so he wouldn't panic and then I headed of to X's base.

After coming through the nether portal I flew around a bit and did a bit of an elytra course that he was making. Finally Xisuma spotted me after playing around for a while and called me in to his base.

I did hope I wasn't walking straight in to a trap but then remembered the server would be in chaos if the changeling took over Xisuma, the server would probably break.

I stood a few meters away from where he was sat as if he had the plague. I think he could tell I came looking for him but then got really anxious when I actually had to talk to him.

The silence between us was so thick until he finally spoke up and said "so is there a reason you've been lurking around my base for the past ten minutes?"

"Well- I ac-actually had some ideas to get rid of the changeling," I said, embarrassed really for no reason.

I sat and talked to Suma for a bit and found out some really interesting information about the changeling.

Xisuma had been asking everyone who met the changeling to give him some information. Iskall had given him some DM's quite late last night saying that it could do redstone well and knew how Grian would act pretty much spot on.

The changeling really is an interesting and intelligent monster, I'm quite curious about it. I was most curious about why it has the instinct to take over servers or maybe it was told or forced to do it.

Then me and X went on to more personal talk and he talked about how Hels reacted to when he told them about the changeling, how he practically went white.

I wondered if Hels knew something we didn't but I thought better of to be fixed on that because it was probably nothing.

Slightly shorter chapter (partly because of technical difficulties and because I was going to go on to a next section but it would make this chapter like 1500 words long)

And question!
Do you think that Grian will die?
