Chapter Text
New life lesson for Skizz, never go caving unless you know your link. Narrowly dodging death by 1 heart was a reminder he wouldn’t be forgetting. Losing 5 hearts out of nowhere was confusing until he remembered the rules of the life game again. That meant his link just died. With that realization in mind he pulled out his comm and looked through the chat.
It was Ren. Ren was his link, and he just got boogied by impulse. Luckily, the sun was coming up so he had time to safely get to spawn. He wasn’t too far anyways. And so, Skizz started to make his way towards spawn. He had some time to think about what to do after. Cause would Ren ally with him if he showed up, what if he had an alliance already, was he even there still or did he have a bed. He became ju at a bit more uncertain as he approached spawn and sighed when it was empty.
He was about to leave when he saw something on the ground. Walking closer, he saw it was Ren’s glasses. “Well now I gotta find him.” He said under his breath as he started to head off towards the direction the glasses were in. On his walk, the boogeyman was being chosen. He stopped to watch the results. He was honestly a bit surprised when it said that he was the boogeyman. “Well, now I got a few things to do today.” He said as he kept walking.
Skizz kept walking, the sun was high in the sky and he was ready to just give up when he heard voices, and he decided to walk closer. He was quiet, obviously. He didn’t know how many lives whoever these people were even had. As he pushed through the shrubs and greenery, a tree house came into view, and the voices were loud enough for him to tell it was Ren.
“-m Telling you guys! I can’t find them anywhere!” Ren yelled, or it sounded like Ren atleast. “Calm down, do ya know where you might’ve left ‘em?” That person was Mumbo. “Well they aren’t here, I had them before I died. Either it’s where I died, or…” He seemed to realize something and dread laced his voice. “all the way back at spawn…” skizz could almost picture Ren’s reaction to this. The next part of the conversation had his attention.
“Is it really worth going all the way back to spawn for your glasses Ren? It’ll be sun down soon enough anyways.” So Mumbo was there too, but that wasn’t really what he was paying attention to, looking at the pair of sunglasses in his hand. Now was as good a time as ever to return the glasses to their rightful owner. So he started to climb up the ladder that led to their platform. He hadn’t noticed them all go silent as he approached the door, and before he could even knock, it was open and a sword was at his throat. It belonged to the very person he came here for.
“Um, hey there Ren. I come bearing gifts?” It sounded like a bit more of a question as than he’d like as he held up Ren’s glasses. The dog hybrid’s sword dropped a bit at seeing them. “Oh, um, thanks.” Ren said as he lowered his sword and took the glasses from Skizz, placing them back on his head. “So, what brings you here skizz?” Ren asked as he stepped back, sword still held firmly.
“Well, Y’know how you died to impulse? I just so happened to lose five hearts at the same moment. Care to guess why that is?” Ren stated at him like he’d grown a third head for a second before a realization dawned on him. “Oh, my goodness skizz, sorry about the scare. Come on in.” He said as he stepped out of the doorway.
When Mumbo came back, geared up and ready to go retrieve Ren’s glasses, they saw Ren, with his glasses, having a pleasant conversation with skizz. “Hey guys! Think we got room for one more in the alliance?”
