It had been a peaceful day in the southlands which was extremely rare, not just for them but the whole server. No one had died and there had been no boogie man in over a week, maybe longer. Everyone hoped it was the start of the end, the end to their terror and despair, but they knew better. They knew that any minute now someone would die or someone would get betrayed and the server would be filled with chaos and arguments yet again.

But for now, they rest, they relax, they take in nature and play games with one another. Anything to make them feel like normal people, like nothing traumatic has ever happened to them, like they didnt have gods above looking down on them a forcing them to fight all the time, like they didnt have always their life on the line. You get the idea. Today was peaceful, calming, a grace period if you will, and they need to act like it was cause it wouldn't last for long.

That's why grian and martyn were resting in the grass inside the southlands, the outside was too infertile and dry to lay on plus there were way to many tnt holes on the outside. They were surrounded by daisys and dandelions which grian was struggling to make into a flower chain. Martyn was laughing at grians failures and grian was swatting the other away, but it was all in good fun. After he finished his first one he passed it to martyn, who took it gladfully, then helped grain make more for the other members, they looked so happy.

Impulse was in his tower, apparently he had decided that he needed a proper sleep from mining for about 4 weeks straight, obviously the rest of them understood. If you listened closely you could probably hear him snoring since he technically had no windows and he could be heard easily. Grian and martyn joked about it saying how 'he was going to sleep forever' and calling him sleeping beauty, saying how 'the princess needs her beauty sleep' and among lots of other things. They were sort of disappointed that he didn't join them but it was his decision and they respected it.

Now you might be wondering, what about jimmy and mumbo? Well dear reader, just because it was a peaceful day for 'everyone' it wasn't exactly for everyone. Today was probably one of the worst days for them, if you've read the prompt you will know why, if not, it's because they were demons. When I say demons I don't mean the malcontent, mischievous, Machiavellian scoundrels who live in hell and are evil. When I say demons I mean regular people, yeah you heard me, most of the time they were just normal people, well, normal ish for mumbo and jimmy. 

Today was different though, today was one of the only days in a year where demons aren't normal. On this day people who were considered as demons are forced into a separate form of some sort. It was like a stereotypical demon, black wings, horns, the lot; and they acted differently, they acted on impulse (ha, get it) instead of their brain and actual knowledge nor their conscience. They were more territorial, shy, deadly, a complete 180 from their regular selfs. That's why they both agreed to stay alone in their towers during this time, for everyone's safety and mind.

The plan was flawless, spectacular, easy to follow, only a complete dumbass with no living brain cells would mess up. But the two demons forgot one thing, Jimmy. Now I'm not saying jimmy is a dumbass but, the only thing in his head is air, he's a complete nutter. We love him though /p

They also forgot that they wouldn't be in the right mind during that day. So you could say it wasn't jimmys fault, but it kinda was. Now you might be thinking, what did Jimmy do? What was so bad that you would call jimmy a dumbass? Well, the other members don't know about mumbo and jimmys secret, somehow they've been able to keep it hidden. They only person who did know was Scott, and that was only  because he was (and still kind of is) married to jimmy and it's Scott he knows shit. Mumbo was able to keep it hidden for decades, centuries even. Every year he would hide in his room or base and tell others he was running a cold, and because people in the minecraft community were nice they let him be.
