Chapter 18- Uno
(Thank ya'll so much for 700+ reads!)
POV: Viper
"Scaaaaarrr!" I called, looking for the wizard.
"Yes?" He called, walking up to me. He was holding Jellie, and oh my toasted poptarts was she adorable.
"You got any popcorn?" I ask, and Scar rolls his eyes. Hey, I was just in the mood for popcorn, alright?
"Yeah, come on." He replies, waving for me to follow him. We descend up the ladder of Larry, where Scar showed me where he kept the popcorn.
"Thanks," I say, putting the bag of popcorn in the microwave. I hit the'popcorn' setting, and the microwave started to heat it. I saw Scar's cowboy hat hanging on the wall. I wondered why he had it, but then again, I did carry hot chocolate and tape with me. So it wasn't that odd.
The popcorn had finished not long after I had put it in, the beeping of the microwave signaling it was done. Scar was playing with Jellie, using one of those feather wands.
"Popcorn?" I ask, looking at Scar. He nods, and I pull out two bowls. I grab the popcorn out of the microwave, hissing softly when it burnt my fingers. I tore it open, and poured the popcorn equally between two bowls. I hand one of the bowls to Scar, and Jellie doesn't even try to eat the popcorn Boom and Scavenger always try to take mine...
"Why is your name Scar?" I ask, liking my buttery fingers. He shrugged.
"I dont know, I just liked it. You?"
"Well, my parents named me Cinnamon. They didn't know I was a shifter, and then one day, 'woah, your daughter is a snake! Lets change her name!'" I explained, using air quotes for the last bit. "I like Viper more than Cinnamon anyway. So, yeah, my name is CinnamonViper, but we dont talk about that-" I laughed, knowing my name was weird. But hey, I wasn't the only one.
Thinking about it, Night, my older brother, was so much like Joe. They even looked the same, even though Night didn't have a beard. I wonder if Scar has an siblings...
"Well, people here have weird names too," He chuckled. "Last time I checked, GoodTimesWithScar wasnt a normal name." I mean, that made sense.
Next thing I know, I had eaten all of my popcorn, as did Scar. I licked my fingers, too lazy to get up and wash my hands. I hadn't braided my hair in months... So I did now. It wasnt easy, my hair doesnt always cooperate. It was thick and wavy, not to be confused with curly (yes, shard, im calling you out), so I kept it down most of the time. I braided it to the side, making it easier. Luckily, I had a hair tie in my pocket, and tied it off. Im sure it didnt look too bad.

POV: Grian
I flew over Scar's village to Mumbo's base. I was bored, so why not bother Mumbo? I touched down at the site of Mumbo's mega base, some of the eight white towers already complete. It looked good, and I know Mumbo worked hard on it.
It was noon, the sun high in the sky. It was starting to get hotter out side, with summer approaching.
I checked everywhere for Mumbo, but I couldn't seem to find him. He wasn't hiding, was he? Nor was he at the starts of him industrial district, so where could he be? I took off towards Iskall's starts of his giant tree base, hoping to find him there. Mumbo wasn't there, nor was Iskall. Not at hermit challenged (initiation) either.
I started flying back to my base, but stopped when I saw Viper waving at me from the top of one of Scar's trees. Why not go say hello?
"Hey Grian!" She greeted me warmly. Her hair was in a braid, but her hood was up.
"Hey Viper. Happen to see Mumbo or Iskall anywhere?" I ask, hoping shes seen some sign of them.
"Hm. No, I suppose I haven't, sorry man." She replies, her smile fading. "I'll keep a look out, though!"
"Thanks, Viper." I say, rigging up another rocket.
"You better leave before Allister finds you," She laughed. "Impulse had a rough time with him yesterday. Off you go dude, go find Mumbo."
I nod, thankful she was going to look out, and shoot off. Mumbo hadn't replied to my texts, and neither had Iskall. Where were they?
(Time skip brought to you by Sahara)
So, as it turns out, Mumbo and Iskall were just in the shopping district. Iskall restocking his shops and Mumbo getting supplies. Well, that was a relief.
"Hey Grian!" Mumbo waves smiling.
"Hey Mumbo! Wanna hang out?" I ask, happy to have found him.
"Sure! Lets go get Iskall and play a round of Uno or something."
They did indeed find Iskall, and play a round of Uno.
(Anyone else want to play? Gosh, I cant play uno all by my self...)
"Uno!" Iskall yells after placing down a card.
"Oh shush, Iskall!" Mumbo says, placing one of his down.
I had only two left. A wild card, and a yellow four. Luckily for me, the color was yellow. And it was my turn. I smack the card onto the pile.
"Uno!" I shout. Poor Mumbo. He had a full deal of cards. If Iskall had a yellow or a wild, he would win. To my luck, he didn't. He had to draw.
Mumbo played again, just discarding one of his many cards.
I place down my wild card. "I win!" I laughed, giving Mumbo a high five.
"Gg, mate." Mumbo says, putting down his deck of cards.
"Yeah, good game." Iskall laughs, not being a sore loser like he usually is.
"Thanks, guys. Whos up for another round?" I ask, laughing. Mumbo and Iskall nodded, so I got to shuffling the cards.
