Grian's Perspective:

Grian stepped out of the forest and glanced up, seeing everyone else running around.

"Shh, stay quiet." Grian giggled as Skizz and Joel were joking around behind him.

"Yeah Joel." Skizz snapped and Joel elbowed him, the two snickering.

"Shhh-!" Grian glared at them and they smiled sheepishly.

"Remember our code word?" Grian asked.

"Titanic." Joel said with full confidence.

"What? I thought it was esteemed?" Skizz asked.

Grian facepalmed. "Joel, I love your confidence, but at least be right when you say stuff."

"I could've been right! You don't know!"

"Of course I know! I made the dang code word!!"

Skizz laughed and Grian sighed.

"Alright, yes, the code word is esteemed. Remember that, Joel." Grian said slowly and Joel nodded, though he wasn't paying much attention.

Grian walked out and gave his little speech, welcoming everyone back.

"And today, we have our wonderful new esteemed guests!" Grian held out his arms and he saw Skizz stumble out.

"Oh is that our cue?" Joel stuck his head out and saw everyone staring. "What? You don't see me staring at you why stare at me?"

He got some chuckles and Joel walked out in front.

"Hello everyone. I'm Joel, Joel Beans; I'm the next Pablo Picasso in this forest." He bragged.

Skizz stepped up and chuckled.

"Yeah I'm probably more of an Alex Katz. I can do stuff and it looks cool, but someone can definitely do it better." Skizz scratched the back of his neck and chuckled, embarrassed.

"Aw come on, you're a great builder!" Impulse ruffled his hair and Skizz chuckled, smiling.

"Yeah Joel, stop being so full of yourself." Gem smirked, folding her arms.

"I'm just speaking the truth!" Joel chuckled, holding up his hands in mock defense.

"Yeah sure." Gem rolled her eyes and Joel sighed.

"Etho saw me build that boat, it was good right?" Joel glared at Etho, who was caught off guard being addressed.

"Oh uh...yeah the relation was pretty good." Etho said and Joel smirked.

"See?" He stuck out his tongue.

"Pretty good isn't exactly Picasso." Gem pointed out.

"Picasso is freaky anyway." Bdubs shivered, "His art is so...weird."

"Just like someone I know." Gem smirked at Joel, who rolled his eyes.

Etho was not paying attention and Joel huffed.

"So much for a soulmate."

"Hey- I'm just here for a good time." Etho shrugged.

"A good time without me!!" Joel said dramatically.

"Alright, alright," Grian said, raising his hands to settle everyone down. "Enough with the Picasso talk. We've got important stuff to do. Like... building."

He shot a quick glance at Joel. "But seriously, if we're going to take this seriously, let's at least get the code word right."

Joel shrugged dramatically. "I'm a genius, Grian. I don't need code words. I create art with my mere presence."

He struck a pose, hands on hips, giving an exaggerated look of thoughtfulness.

"Yeah, it's called chaos," Skizz muttered under his breath, earning a laugh from the group.

"I heard that, Skizz," Joel said, narrowing his eyes, but the grin on his face made it clear he wasn't actually upset.

"Guys come on! Last one there has to build a mob farm for the winner!" Gem called and started running.

"Wha- HEY!" Mumbo darted after her along with Skizz and Impulse.

Joel sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"You coming?" Etho smirked, holding out his hand.

Joel blinked his eyelashes and was about to hold his hand when he high fived it and started running.

"LATER LOSER!!" He called over his shoulder.

"OH YOU'RE ON!" Etho shouted and he ran after him.
