Something isn't right, something hasn't been right all day.
You can't pinpoint exactly what is wrong and it's putting you off.

All day strange things have been happening. Redstone circuits that have worked all season have been glitching out.
Pistons not working, hoppers locking without being powered.

It's strange.
And you think you know who's responsible.
You leave your house, walking the short distance over to where your new neighbour lives.

One of the goats in the pen out front of his house stares you down as you approach the door, but you try pay no mind to it.

You lift the knocker, hitting the door with it twice firmly.
As you remove your hand you notice the knocker is also a goat.
What is it with this man and goats?

"Can I help you?"
"I'm sorry to interrupt, I just wanted to come over and ask you, well.. You see, my redstone that has never failed is suddenly failing and that didn't start until you moved in."

He lets out a sharp breath, as if he's holding back a laugh, "and you think I'm causing your redstone to have issues?"
"Again it didn't start until you moved in." You cross your arms over your chest.
You know he's doing something to mess up the signals, you just don't know what.

And that's the issue.
"What evidence do you have to support your idea that it's me?" He asks, mirroring your stance and your tone.

"I just know." This time he actually does let out a laugh.
"You just know. Well, come back to me when you have solid evidence that I'm causing the issues, yeah?" He takes a step back, a cocky smirk on his face as he shuts the door in your face.

"Oh I will." You grumble to yourself.
You'll find out what he's up to, and when you do he'll be in big, big trouble.
