One, I can finally stop hiding my identity yay! ^•^
And Two, story was inspired by Danganronpa. Because... It's murder mystery, how could I not enjoy it.

—Iskall's Pov—
I've learned my lesson twice, don't underestimate Grian...please. It's not even 11+ episodes in and he straights up pulls the UNO reverse at me!
Grian had somehow lured me to his panic room and unexpectedly, I met my demise, AGAIN! I spawned back in my bed with my heart racing like rockets lifting us from the ground. I took some deep breathes till I finally calmed my beating heart.
I slowly pushed myself to stand up but soon gave up and collapsed back on my bed. That felt... so unexpected. My mind couldn't even process what just happened! Though kudos to him for tricking me, I had sudden flashbacks of his build that was still left under construction.
Grian really did improve more this season. His storage system, his sudden interest of learning redstone, it was about time he fixed issue of his LOL! So I'm proud of him for that!
But what left me intrigued was his building skills. The more builds he makes, the more they become extravagant! I know I sound like I'm overreacting or something but it's true.
It takes quite a long time to perfect the skills. Just adding the tiniest details to make it better, experimenting every possible palette that could exist in this server, shaping the body, it's almost like he can build anything ideally that comes up in his mind.
Grian isn't called an architect for nothing.
"Helloooooooo," A head popped out from the entrance with a cheeky little grin on his face. He looked back to the husk that tried to enter his abode but one swoosh from his sword and a puff of smoke soon evaporated in the air.
"Pesky husk, tsk tsk tsk. Don't you have a door or something?" Grian laughed halfheartedly. I let out a small scoff as the hermit placed the shulker box near my bed.
My smile fell to a fake frown and plumped myself onto my pillow. "I still can't believe you tricked me with the same technique, AGAIN!" I whined jokingly, I could here the faint growing of laughter from my left side.
"Well I wasn't expecting you to fall for my trap again," he sat on the shulker, still smirking to himself.
I lifted my head from my pillow and locked eyes onto the gremlin's eyes, "Seriously Grian, your mansion looks really well detailed. And it's not even finished yet."
"Hehe it's no walk in the park, but it's worth my hardwork and beauty nonetheless." He stated proudly.
I let out a quiet sigh and leaned onto the stripped wall with a calm expression I don't usually have in my face unless if I was upset, "But really.. that's to expect from an omega builder such as yourself. "
I crossed my arms together and slumped my back closer to the wall, a tiny drop of sweat fell from my temple due to the warm temperature in the room but I didn't care much. Grian's smile fell to a face written of worry, "Iskall?"
"You're a talented guy G, and I don't want to appear like I'm jealous but I'm more of, hmm... overwhelmed.. with what you do, and what the other hermits can do too. You know?..."
The hermit sighed exasperatedly and sunk down beside me, leaving this quiet tension between us but no awkwardness whatsoever. He kept fiddling his fingers together as he tried to find the right words to say. He was hesitant at first but Grian finally took a deep breath and finally looked back at me again.
" Honestly who cares about talent? Why care about talent when you can share your talent to others? That's something I would prefer." Grian nudged my shoulder gently, I couldn't help but smile a bit.
"I mean, you can do redstone! And you don't know how difficult it is for me to even remember how to build a contraption without looking at the tutorial a bajillion times." He groaned loudly.
"That's why I wanna learn redstone, I wanna make redstone contraptions with you and Mumbo." He leaned his shoulder onto mine with his hand resting onto mine.
I hummed, staring back at the opposite direction, unsure of what I should do or say, but an idea popped up in my head. "You know Grian, I could... teach you some basic redstone, share some of useless wisdom and all," I suggested.
"Really?!!" Grian's eyes lit up in excitement. "Yes yes child, papa will teach you," I teased, but I honestly felt excited to teach him, I couldn't help but chuckle.
I stood up from my bed and ran through my enderchest for some redstone supplies,"So where should we start? T-flop? Redstone circuits? A timer? A pisto-"
Grian's faint but noticeable giggle cut off my sentences, "See Iskall, it's more fun to share your talent with others."
"Though I still can't say I'm talented, but I guess your right..." I smiled back...
