Hermitcraft Fluff Book

A rollercoaster of emotions

Grian tugged on Mumbo's sleeve, trying to pull him into line for the ride. It wasn't very effective, considering he was about half of Mumbo's weight, and all it earned him was an annoyed glared. Mumbo's arms remained firmly crossed and Grian gave him a pouty face. "Come on, its so much fun!" He gave Grian another glare.

"I already told you, I don't want to." He stated confidently. Grian smirked and said, "I won't give up you know." Mumbo sighed because he knew that he was right. To tell the truth, he was terrified and wanted nothing to do with that ride, but he would never admit it. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a pair walking towards them.

"Me and Stress just got off the Ferris wheel, what are you two up to?" Mumbo attempted to respond but Grian got his words out quicker. "Mumbo doesn't want to ride this super awesome roller coaster and you two are going to help me make him." He gaped at Grian, who still had that cheeky smile on his face. Stress started, "You know what?" Maybe she was siding with him. "We should all ride it together!" No she wasn't. Mumbo deflated.

Cub and Scar walked toward the group, each holding a half-eaten cotton candy. Scar waved at them and Grian waved back. "Hey you two, we're about to ride this, wanna come?" Scar nodded, but Mumbo raised a protest. "I am not riding this!" Iskall pulled out his phone from his back pocket and began typing while saying, "Oh yes you are." Mumbo shot a glare to no one in particular. Cub laughed, "Why don't you wanna ride this, are you scared? He shook his head maybe too defensively, because Grian started chanting about how scared he was. "Okay fine, I'm scared and I don't wanna ride this!"

The grin amongst the hermits face did not disappear, and a new group appeared. Tango, Impulse, and Zedaph emerged soaking wet, with Impulse looking furious. "Fun Fact for you all, when these two say you 'might get a little wet' don't believe it!" Tango chuckled and Zed playfully shoved Impulse, to which they all began laughing. False and Cleo, also wet, were behind them, and gave the group a wave. Iskall put his phone down and announced, "X's group should be here in a few minutes!"

Mumbo sighed, there was no way he was getting out of this one. And while everyone was conversing, he turned to his last resort, the ride warning board. He began reading it out loud, in hope that someone might get discouraged to ride. "Let's see here, expectant mother's, no that won't work. Heart, back or neck condition? Maybe." He felt someone tapping on his shoulder, and turned around to find himself face to face with Cleo. "You don't actually think you're getting out of this, right?" Mumbo sheepishly shrugged, and she rolled her eyes and walked back to the group.

He turned back to his list. "Motion sickness or dizziness? That might work. Recent surgery. No." His hope of escaping this ride was slowing depleting. "Prosthetic limbs and other conditions?" "Well that's no fun." Mumbo recognized that voice anywhere. Looks like X's crew had arrived. He turned around to face Doc, who was standing with Ren, looking rather disappointed. Xisuma, Joe and Bdubs were chatting with Cub and Scar. There were so many people here, and Mumbo was ready to accept his fate, as much as he didn't want to.

"So, who's ready to ride this?" Stress said to the gathering of hermits, and multiple people raised their hands. "How 'bout you Mumbo?" she asked. When he nodded, a cheer erupted from the small crowd, and somehow, Grian grabbed a hold of his sleeve and yanked him into line. Grian looked rather giddy and Mumbo was starting to form a non-forced smile on his face.

"This is going to be so fun!" He said, dragging Mumbo along, followed by the mob of hermits. They walked for a couple of minutes before they reached the loading bay for the ride. Grian turned to him with an evil smirk on his face. "Did I forget to mention that this goes upside down?" Mumbo gulped.
