"Right, what does Savior-Dick" Grian stiffled a laugh "or whatever that bitch's name is, got to do with this?" Tommy spoke up, Grian cleared his throat at the question.

"Well, if i remember correctly," oh he remembered correctly alright "Xabierithyc or XD is currently on the run from Watchers" he explained which earned more confused looks from the four "So it is very possible that he casted a magic barrier on your server to hide himself from the watchers."

"Wait why?" Wilbur asked scrunching his nose in confusion, Grian's eyes twitched as he sucked in a breath.

"Let's just say a watcher has unfinished buisness with him" Grian tried his best to remain calm.

"How do you know this?" Phil asked the blonde, which earned another sigh from him.

"Well, i am- though I wish i could say was- a watcher" Phil's eyes widened at this Grian's a watcher.

"Okay but this doesn't exactly explain why they're here" a zombie woman spoke up.

"Yeah... about that, so um, bear with me okay? Lady Death asked the watchers to send them here" this earned a bunch of surprised noises from everyone.

"I'm sorry- Did you just say Lady Death!? As in the Goddess of Death!?" Xisuma spoke up as he stared at Grian in surprise.

"Yep, trust me i was also very surprised" Grian huffed out, he expected this reaction from the hermits.

"Wait- but like why???" Iskall spoke up, very confused on why the heck would Lady Death send THEM over HERE???

"Why what? Why them or Why here?" Honestly, Grian's not even sure if he could answer that.

"Uh- both please" Wilbur (unexpectedly) piped in, which earned a surprised look from Grian.

"Wait- you mean you DON'T know???" He asked surprised.

"Uh, no??? We definetly do NOT know what you are on about" Techno chimed in. Tommy nodding along in agreement.

Grian stared at the four of them in disbelief, looking for any sign of deception or joking manners in them.

"Well uh" he started after he found none of the mentioned "Apparently, you four are the first ever to survive death's touch, well first ever mortals that is."

Everybody in the room froze as the words left Grian's mouth.

"WHAT!?" And everyone proceeded to bombared questions to both Grian and the four, who in all fairness were also bombarding Grian with questions

-

"Wait wait, that still doesn't explain why we were sent here though" Wilbur intervened amongst the question.

Grian pondered, he really does not know why they would send them here though "That," he paused "I don't know actually".

"Maybe it's because you're a watcher aswell?" A blonde wearing a knight's armor spoke up "I mean, it is possible." Maybe it's also because I'm the primal watcher.....whoops Grian thinks.

"Ok so let me get this straight" The zombie hybrid spoke up again, Techno swore he heard the guy with the @ logo say "Ironic" but when he turned to look at him, he seemed completely normal.

"So, these four over here got sent here because they did a dumb ritual and are the first mortals to survive Death's Touch, right?" The zombie hybrid listed looking at Xisuma for confirmation "Uh, from what we gathered, yeah that sounds about right. Oh and I can't unwhitelist or ban them"

Xisuma looked at the four "So, uh, there's a chance you might be stuck here"

"Oh uhm, that's unfortunate" Phil mumbled, it truly is unfortunate that they were stuck here but,

Phil thinks back to the beautiful and non-grieded builds, the kindness that was immediately offered to them as soon as they realized that they were in need of help, the general light atmosphere.

And he wonders, is being stuck here so bad?

He felt Techno nudge him, he looked over to him in confusion "Is he good?" Techno whispers, pointing at Tommy who was as white as a sheet.

"Tommy," Phil nudges the teen "Are you alright mate?" Tommy stares at him before snapping out of his daze "Huh? What did you say?" Phil raised a concerned brow at this "I asked if you were okay"

"Oh uh, ye- uh yeah I'll be- I'm fine" he stutters out, this made Phil concerned but he decided to not press onto the matters even more.

"Right well, Phil?" Xisuma calls out "Are you guys okay with staying with Grian for a while?" Phil looks over to Grian, who flashed him a reassuring smile before he returns his attention back to Xisuma.

"Yeah, we're fine with staying with Grian," Phil quickly looks back at Grian "If he's alright with it of course" he quickly adds.

"Grian?" Grian gave them a toothy grin and a thumbs up "All good with me! The mansion needs some more inhabitants anyways"

"Great! It's settled then, Grian will tour you around the server" Xisuma cheers but before he could continue on Etho suddenly spoke up.

"X, Is it fine if I accompany Grian in the tour?" He asks the admin "Sure, why not. Etho and Grian will be touring the newcomers then." Xisuma announces once more.

After that the Hermits quickly move on to the regular routine of their meeting.

The four newcomers learn a bunch of stuff like the turf war is ending in a few days (Tommy made a face at the mention of war), Stress has (finally) restocked her potion shop (Both Tommy and Wilbur silently reminisce the drug van), Keralis opened the Lookie Lookie At My Cookie (LLAMC) and can be found behind the Lookie Lookie At My Bookie shop (Phil is very amused with the name of the shop), and a bunch of other stuff.

Techno is curious on what Decked Out is about.

===

The meeting ended a couple of minutes ago and now Grian and co. were waiting on a particular white haired man.

While waiting for Etho, the four got approached by some hermits.

"Hi, my name's FalseSymmetry but you can call me False for short" the blonde woman wearing a red and white stripe shirt with a green jacket introduced herself.

"Wh- hey! I was going to introduce myself first" The zombie hybrid from earlier huffed as she approached False.

"Anyways, My name is ZombieCleo, though most people call me Cleo" she introduced herself to the newcomers.

"Ok, Zombie" False teased causing Cleo to let out an angry puff "You- I'm out" She exclaimed with no real heat in her tone.

"I thought you were already out?" A new voice popped in, it was the brunette with the @ logo in their shirt. Grian and False chuckled at this while Cleo lightheartedly rolled her eyes. "Howdy, Names Joe, Joehills" Joe held his hand out for one of them to shake.

"Nice to meet you, mate" Phil shook his hand.

"I reckon, ya'll are waiting for Etho?" Cleo spoke up. "Uh yes, we are" Phil answered in 'as-a-matter-of-fact' tone.

"Oh? I saw Etho having a chat with Doc inside" Joe recalled Doc pulling Etho aside to have a chat.

"Tsk tsk, I can't believe he would make our guests wait for a chat" False let out a light hearted laugh at Cleo's comment "Well, He can be quite unpredictable, that Etho" Grian shrugged.

"That Etho what?" Suddenly Etho's voice intervened, they looked over and saw Etho approaching them.

"That Etho nothing" Grian giggled out "Uh huh, sure" Etho raised a brow, amused.

"Etho" Joe greeted "Joe" Etho greeted back. "We're right here y'know" False waved her hand signaling she was right next to Joe.

"Haha, sorry, Hello to you two as well" Etho laughed out. The five hermits lightly laughed, amused by each other's antics.

"Well then, I do have to go somewhere" Joe spoke up "It was a pleasure meeting you gents" Phil nodded at this "Likewise, mate"

"We also have to go somewhere, It was nice meeting you all, bye!" Cleo called out before she and False left.

"Now that that's done," Grian started

"Shall we?"

---------------------------------------------

Btw this part:

"You- I'm out" She exclaimed with no real heat in her tone.

"I thought you were already out?" A new voice popped in, it was the brunette with the @ logo in their shirt. Grian and False chuckled at this while Cleo lightheartedly rolled her eyes.
