    Summary

    Joel Beans is tired of life. He feels like he's been floating through mist for the past five years- no real direction in sight, the only things keeping him grounded are the friends who've stuck by him no matter what. So when his oldest friend Grian gets him his first real job, well, ever, Joel is... a little out of his depth. Especially concerning the guy who's been assigned to show him around- the famous redstone prodigy, Etho Slab. Joel can't quite put his finger on it, but something about Etho feels... different, than anyone he's ever met before.

    Joel Beans used to be the most energetic of everyone around him. Despite his background, where he grew up, he always had that dream of becoming a famous architect. It kept him going through school bullies, broken hearts, and friends who were having just as hard a time as he was. And then he met Lizzie Shadow, and all he wanted to do was build palaces for her.

     

    This is a dual narrative. There are two tales being told here. Joel's past, and his present. How he fell in love, how it ended, and how he fell in love again.

    Enjoy.

    "WELCOME, special children to our M.C.Y.T. School! Your families have 'accepted' our offer to take you to this private property and educate you in not only basic education, but in YOUR own performing elective element. So, we welcome this new (odd) generation into our halls.

    ⊱ ─── {.⋅ ♫ ⋅.} ─── ⊰

    Normal instrument practices underwent, casual rehearsals, and warm ups─but these children doing the practice, turns out, aren't so normal. With fire swirling around a Viola's scroll, and parents suddenly compelled to listen to their vocalist children's demands.

    Naturally, the only solution is to teach these teenagers how to handle their newfound abilities.

    But not all intentions are good.

    Summary

    The whole group is enjoying the shenanigans and mischief in their newest game, Grian really outdid himself with the double-life mod!
    It's an all around good time, and the latest fishing-rod mayhem is just icing on the cake!

    Or it is, until... something, something goes horribly wrong with respawn.
    The group is left reeling, waiting and hoping that their friends make it out unscathed.

    (aka Grian panics, Joel panics, and Etho is holding it together - literally)
