Pearl (Lizzie) actually being able to get a boogie kill on Grian by saying she had a mini game and she was offering an enchanting table, only to have him go into lava made me laugh.
Cleo’s (Geminitay) PVP skills were unmatched I was cheering her on when she went after Etho.
Also I felt bad for Jimmy when he died to the ravager but the fact that it was named Grian had me laughing.

Scared and Safe
It wasn’t uncommon for the life games to include some kind of pause or general cease fire for the mental health of the Players. Especially with the way that Limited Life centered on time, it was important to remember to take a breath and feel safe for a while.
Still, Scott definitely wasn’t expecting that he and Martyn would get a frantic visitor to the Coral Isles during the break. When Jimmy came dashing out of the tree, Scott’s first reaction was to check for what mobs were after the poor man. Finding none, he became incredibly confused.
“Martyn, we have a visitor,” he alerted the other man, causing him to pop out from the storage area they had created.
“Timmy? What?” It was as the words came out of Martyn’s mouth that both Mean Gills realized that Jimmy was not only terrified of something but crying as well. With it being a break, they were quickly growing concerned for whatever the cause had been.
“Martyn? Scott?” Jimmy’s voice sounded confused, as though he hadn’t known where he was going. He hesitated for a moment before approaching a bit more.
“What’s wrong, sweetheart?” Scott asked gently, not wanting to frighten his husband any further.
“It’s just so loud. They’re so loud, needed my Property Police,” Jimmy responded, shoulders hunched in as one hand came up to cradle an ear.
Martyn nearly swore under his breath, immediately going to reach out, “Loud? Oh Jimmy, you can hear them too? It’s okay, come here, we’ve got you.”
Scott simply grew more confused at the disjointed conversation, watching as his current partner practically cradled Scott’s still distressed husband to his chest, “Too? What’s going on?”
“Did Jimmy ever explain the Listeners to you?”
Scott’s brow furrowed, “A bit, once. Oh, is he hearing them and the Watchers right now?”
“Yeah. Do we have extra space? Or a spare bed? I don’t want to send him back to the mansion tonight, especially on his own,” Martyn admitted as he looked down at the, now much calmer, visage of Jimmy, who had gone from terrified to tired.
“Sure, an extra bed shouldn’t be too hard. Jimmy? Are you okay staying here tonight?”
The exhausted man hummed a positive note, his words clearly slurring with his tired mind, “Mhm, safe here. Safe with my Martyn and my Petal.”
The Mean Gills exchanged wide-eyed glances as they registered Jimmy’s words, realizing that the man had fully slipped into sleep after uttering them. Between them, they managed to settle all three of them across a few beds that they pulled together, keeping Jimmy secure in between them as they slipped off to sleep.
The next morning, a few messages hit the server-wide chat:
Grian: Does anyone know where Jimmy went?
Grian: He didn’t come back to the mansion last night. Joel doesn’t know either.
Smajor: We have him. We might need a longer game pause.
