She’d been so worried, on her first night out on the hunt with the crew, when Skizz had showed her a busted-up motion sensor and complained that it’d barely work once they were in the house. Within the month, though, she noticed that Skizz had a habit of sorting through the equipment night after night, checking everything with the same concerned eye. She’d asked at one point why he checked things over once they were already on the road.“Just in case we miss something small,” he replied, frowning slightly. “Just in case.”
Or,
Gem knows that Impulse and Skizz would never throw her into something they wouldn’t do themselves, but something about the house on Tanglewood just feels… Off.

When Scar starts a new job in Identification, he thought it would be like all the times before - he'd try his best and ultimately fail, all while his coworkers watched on in pity or amusement. But going out on jobs with Skizz and Impulse is like a breath of fresh air, even when they have all the tools and knowledge to discover Scar's secret and ruin his life. Even better - they become friends, which is something Scar doesn't have many of.
But then things start going wrong during investigations - equipment going haywire, getting incorrect readings, signs pointing to multiple ghosts, all with Scar at the center point. It doesn't take long for Skizz and Impulse to start connecting dots.
Eventually, it will become too hard for Scar to hide it, and his secret will explode out into the open. He just hopes the fall out after doesn't take him down with it.

“Tango?”
The blazeborn poked his head around the corner. “That’s about everyone, X. We’re just doing a final sweep.”
“What about that one?”
Tango followed his gaze, flame pitching a bit higher before settling back down to normal. “He has robes on, Xisuma, and he’s covered in purple. He’s one of them.”
“Look how little he is. He’s so skinny, and he’s shaking. He can’t possibly be here of his own volition.”
“Xisuma, you’re talking about bringing one of them onto Hermitc—”
“Tango.”
Or, while raiding a Watcher's prison, Xisuma spots something that doesn't belong.

"I think I'd rather people make bad art than not make art at all."
"Yeah, yeah." Bdubs waved a dismissive hand. "Freaking STEM majors," he muttered under his breath. Etho sighed. They could talk about the nature of art for hours. "I have to go to work," he said. "I should be back before dinner. I can bring you those mashed potatoes that you like." He traced his finger along the side of his mug. "Maybe… maybe you can draw something for me? While I'm gone?"
Bdubs sideeyed him. "Selfish. You just want free commissions."
"Not free! I'm paying in mashed potatoes."
"That you get for free," Bdubs mumbled. But he had put down the mug and picked up a pencil, twisting it slowly between his fingers. "If I were to draw you something, what would you want?"
Or, an early morning conversation about the nature of creativity and art.

“Well,” a voice comes from The Admin, and it is… it is not weird, but it is, and Xelqua can not describe how - just that it sends another shiver down his spine. “You don’t exactly look happy, and I’m afraid that may have something to do with me.”
It does. “That doesn’t exactly explain your… Everything.”

Zedaph needed to be around friends in the break between seasons. Staying with all of Team ZITS in one house was near-constant chaos, but it actually felt wonderful once he was used to it again. Returning to the Hermitcraft group to start planning the new season wasn't nearly as stressful with close friends at his side.
Etho needed to be around friends in the break between seasons, but he turned down the only offer, thinking that he'd be fine alone. He was sorely mistaken. When he only remembers the meeting late the night before, the pain of being alone collides with an unexpected rush of social anxiety, creating the perfect storm to drag him down to a level of stress he hasn't felt in years.
But someone notices, and for the first time, Etho doesn't leave the meeting alone.

He trails off as the clouds open up, drenching them in seconds. Doc steps out from beneath the tree and tilts his head towards the sky; between Bdubs’s time manipulation and whatever admin commands X does, he hasn’t felt actual rain on his skin in months. He’s never been gladder that he waterproofed his cybernetics and wings worlds ago.
“Uh,” Ren finishes lamely.
Thunder rumbles, so low that it shakes the ground, and Doc freezes. Frissons of electricity shudder through the clouds, briefly illuminating the funnel twisting into being above their tower.

He stops a couple of steps away from it, honestly hoping that he won’t have to get any closer to it to figure out just what it is. Unfortunately for his fraying sanity, no amount of looking at the thing from a distance really tells him much, other than the fact that the shape is… perhaps a bit familiar? But that’s really not saying much, so he’s forced closer to the thing.
He finally crouches down next to it, reaching out in the hopes that turning it over will reveal something a bit more identifying. It turns out to be fairly heavy though, and he ends up struggling to so much as lift the thing an inch before he finally gets a good grip on the edge of it and shoves it over. With that said and done, he sits back, frowning as he looks it over and-
“Oh no,” he breathes as he looks down at the- the body of Grumbot.
