As Cub came out of the trance of an AFK session, he felt like something was off. He checked the amount of supplies he had obtained in that time. A couple of shulkers in a few hours, nice. He could probably make some updates to make it faster, but for now, it was good enough to restock the cake vault. Now, what else did he have to do today?

He went to rub the back of his head, a bit of a habit of his when lost in thought, when the scientist noticed something was off. Instead of the usual smoothness that came from being bald, he felt hair similar to that of feather down. A quick look in his inventory revealed that he was wearing a Grian head with a Curse of Binding, just as his suspicions confirmed.

Man, he must've been deep in the AFK state if he hadn't noticed this. Still, Cub couldn't help but chuckle a bit. It wasn't a major prank, sure, but it did deliver a message. "I'm not intimidated by you!" The head shouted.

The naivety of the newest Hermit was refreshing. Sure, when it came to pure power, Cub had some things to be desired. He wasn't a PVP-er like False or Wels. He wasn't quite as tech-savvy as Doc or Iskall. He didn't have as strong of magic as Tango. But there was no one on the server that had as much economic influence as he did. No one who could gather information and uncover secrets as efficiently as he could. And Vex magic, while not the flashiest of magics, ran through his veins, almost making him more fey then man.

Whipping out his communicator, he punched in a message to the blond brit.

Cubfan135: Why?

Soon enough, a reply came through

GrianMC: I was bored. :P

GrianMC: Wanted to prank someone.

GrianMC: You were the only one AFK at the time.

Cubfan135: Seems kind of a tame prank, tbh.

GrianMC: Yeah.

GrianMC: It was a spur of the moment.

Cubfan135: I could tell. Usually your pranks ae more elaborate.

Cubfan135: The kind of pranks that lead to civil wars.

Cubfan135: Thank you for that business opportunity, btw.

GrianMC: You're welcome, I guess?

Cub laughed once more at Grian's obvious confusion through the text. No doubt the brit would be confused as to why he wasn't taking vengeance, or declaring a bit of a prank war.

Honestly? Maybe Cub would have a prank war with Grian eventually. But right now, he had things to take care of. Besides, it wouldn't do well to make a spur of the moment retaliation. Better to brainstorm a comeback in the meantime. Plus, it would make his adversary squirm a bit, which was fun!

But first things first. Time to get rid of the Grian head.

________________________________________________________________________________

Of course Cub won't take a prank lying down. However, I cannot write prank stories for the life of me, so you get this open ended drabble. Sorry about that.

And yeah, Vex magic is powerful, but it isn't flashy powerful. Sure, you can easily spot it, and it can be flashy, but it's best used to make things more efficient. Hence the Convex's abilities to build really quickly and other things.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed!

Sea you later!
