Random Hermitcraft OneShots

(3) - Cursed

This AU is loosely based off of Indominus_Gaming and their Red Dusted Past AU. Grian is still cursed, but it takes a different effect than their AU. 

Grian POV

Doc: Redstone meeting! Anyone who knows redstone should go to Mumbo's perimeter by 9

Iskall: Mumbo, you better be there!

Mumbo: I'll be AFK there, wake me up when it starts

Grian sighed flipping his phone over after muting it. He had tried and tried again to prove to the others that he could do redstone, but that stupid curse! Anytime he would try and make something to show the hermits, it would all go wrong. Everything would go perfectly fine when he was designing things, but if Grian even thought about showing the hermits, the curse would kick in and the contraption would break.

And Grian didn't have anything to do. He couldn't prank Mumbo, the redstoners would all be there, there were no server-wide events to prepare for, he didn't have anything to build. So Grian went into one of the newest towers on the outer rim of his base. He had hidden the entrance to his redstone room there so that people wouldn't find it easily. However, when he went through the one block hole you had to fly through to get in, he accidentally left it open.

Grian worked on various redstone contraptions he had in mind, including a storage system he desperately needed and would use, except for the curse. The curse that ruined his life. Grian lost track of the days, his phone sitting in his base, still muted.

Xisuma POV

Xisuma: Hey has anyone seen Grian? He said he would help me with something a few days ago, and I've been texting him, but with no response

Mumbo: That's strange, he is usually on top of those things. I'll check his base to see if he is there.

Xisuma: Thanks Mumbo, I'll fly over there to help, Grian's base is HUGE.

Xisuma equipped his elytra and flew over to the futuristic multi-layer cake. Mumbo was (obviously) there already and he was searching the aviary. "Hey X. So I found Grian's phone over there" Mumbo gestured to where Grian had set up a small bedroom area. "It was on mute, which is probably why he didn't respond. I've checked pretty much the whole aviary with no sign of Grian, only a few parrots."

"Okay, where do you recommend we look? You know Grian's base better than me."

"Well if Grian isn't here or on the bottom layer, he might be in his underground portion, in his starter base, or not here at all. I'll start checking the underground starting here, Xisuma, do you want to check his starter base? There is an underground portion there that had linked up to the main underground portion, and we can probably dig that area out an meet up there."

"Okay, keep your phone on, and make sure you can hear it in case one of us finds something," Xisuma instructed before diving into the water and entering the shipwreck. Xisuma couldn't help but admire the build. For a mere starter base, it was definitely impressive. Xisuma looked through the small upper portion before going underground. Xisuma searched the whole thing and met up with Mumbo in an area that had been blocked off with cobblestone.

"So Grian's obviously not here. Do you want to do one more fly around before checking the shopping district?" Mumbo asked, a few feathers stuck to his clothes. He looked ready to get out of the messy underground portion of Grian's base.
