Poglandia (Dimension-232)

**Dimension-232**, better known as **Poglandia**, was a Minecraft like dimension, where empires grew and superheroes worked. Uncle Joey expanded his empire farther than the eye could see, with his business associate Uncle Danny. And superheroes such as the mighty Cum-Lord and Calien fought evil.

## History

### Early Life in Poglandia

The first to establish cities throughout Poglandia were Uncle Joey, CJ and Lizz. Joey set up shop and began building his house, while CJ and Lizz went out far away from Joey. Joey worked on casual things, such as installing a fish tank, building a second story to his home, and finding nice animals to have as pets. During this, Lizz continued to venture into the wilderness, setting up campsites whenever it became nighttime. CJ crafted a boat, and headed North across the ocean.

Joey met his girlfriend shortly after he moved to Poglandia. It was sometime after he already established his main home, including his second story, and his large fish tank. She visited his house every so often, usually on the weekends. They would spend their days searching the uncharted lands, as she took photos, and at night, they would spend their time in Joey's new home. Joey was seemingly his happiest whenever she was around.

### The Formation of Mecca

Upon reaching the end of the ocean, CJ found land. From here, he found a nice village, and decided to move in. CJ soon learned about the protectors of the village. According to the villagers, they were sent from the gods themselves. Their names were Jod and Gesus, they were huge hulking golems of iron, who watched over the village with a watchful eye. CJ liked the place from the beginning, and offered to upgrade the village in anyway he could. The villagers loved the idea, and agreed to let him help.

CJ quickly gave Mecca the appropriate updates, forming a wall around the entire village, fixing the pathways, and eventually building himself a house to live at. It was around this time that two more people joined the village, Fynneas, a local traveler, and Lizz, who was tired of living out in the woods all of the time. Unknown to those living in Mecca, the tiny village had a stalker, in the form of vigilante Cum-Lord. He stalked the village, hiding in the trees and watching from afar. His plans of watching Mecca were foiled though, as CJ eventually noticed him. Cum-Lord explained that all he was doing, was making sure no suspicious activity was going on. CJ accepted that, and invited Cum-Lord to stay in Mecca. He told CJ that he could not stay, as they would want him back at CUM Towers. Cum-Lord left, and CJ continued upgrading Mecca.

### Time Slipping

During the same time, Uncle Joey was busy forming what he thought could become a usable time machine. He made it, so he would be able to sell it to those who lived around him, and he would earn a handsome profit. But something went horribly wrong while working on it, and Joey was sent to the future, where he saw what would come of the land he lived in now, to him and to all of those he would eventually meet. This frightened Joey, and kept him up at nights. This all changed however, when CUM Industries offered to buy Joey's home from him. Joey quickly agreed, as he wanted to be as far away from that land as possible.

Joey ended up moving locations after selling his house, but not by far. He was given a large plot of land by CUM Industries, and he began from square one. He built his house and installed another fish tank, but he wanted more. He began to chop down all of the trees around his home, but he wouldn't stop there. He built a fence around his land to keep everyone out, and he cut down every tree within his property lines. And this was only the beginning for Joey's empire.

### A Message from CUM Industries

After this, a message was sent out to both Mecca, and Joey's land, which he had recently named 'The Homeland'. This message explained that there was a creature from another dimension, a dragon, that would be making it's way to this world soon. CUM Industries asked Mecca and Joey to band together and take the creature down. They would be paid for their efforts as well. The citizens of Mecca all agreed to help, while Joey gave them no answer.

Mecca and it's troops began to prepare for war. CJ, Fynneas and Lizz all geared up and got ready to take on the dragon. The group soon realized they had no idea of how to access this other dimension, but their questions were answered when Cum-Lord arrived. He explained that he knew how to get to the other world, and he would also be joining them on their journey. The group accepted this, and made their way to the portal. On the way there, Cum-Lord told CJ about his old partner, Ball. Ball was Cum-Lord's partner for years, before he was killed on one of their adventures. The only thing that Ball had left behind was a coin, which Cum-Lord always kept in his pocket.

After a long day of travelling and boat riding, the group arrived at the portal. Each one made sure they were ready, and entered the rift. Upon entering, they were brought to the Null Dimension. Here, all there was were floating ruins, and a dragon. The team made their way to the beast, and began their attack. In the end, the citizens of Mecca were victorius in their efforts, and were all able to make it home safe. On their way back, Cum-Lord asked CJ if they would like to become their new partner. CJ agreed, and became the partner to Cum-Lord, known as Calien.

### Biggering the Empire

While Mecca was busy taking down an interdimensional beast, Joey was fixated on biggering his corporate size. He had built several resturants within the Homeland. He also built stores, monuments and even a machine that would create iron for him, which was virtually just a money printing machine. Whilst others were trying to save the world, Joey was gaining a monopoly on anything he could. His power and wealth grew so large, he ended up buying CUM Industries. His first act as the new owner and CEO, was to fire everyone, including Cum-Lord.

It was around this time, that Joey's old business friend came back, Uncle Danny. Danny had heard about Joey's wealth and wanted to see if it were true. Joey was glad to see his old pal again, and the two became close again. They would often do illegal trades to one another, to help the other with financial gain. During Danny's visit, he explained that a village right near his house, had recently been growning in size. This town he was referring to, was Mecca. Joey wasn't a fan of this, and decided to investigate himself. Joey spent little to no time at Mecca, as the sight of the lower class town made him feel weird.

### A New Chapter

Soon after this, Joey's girlfriend came back to visit him, with good news. She was going to be moving to Poglandia, and building a home right near the Homeland. Before she began construction on her house, she stayed with Joey, in his large log cabin in the Homeland. After some time spent there, she began work on her house. It took her several days, but eventually, she had a nice dwelling started. It wouldn't be long after, that she also had a farm, and a couple of animals too. Joey was very proud of what she had done, and having her near him kept him at peace, for the time being.

### A Schism Grows

While Joey continued his growth, he began to get more insider information from Danny, who told him about how trading worked in Mecca. You see, Joey wanted to expand his empire and own more of Mecca, because technically, Joey owned twelve percent of the land once he bought CUM Industries. But Danny explained to Joey that the people of Mecca would never buy anything he sells, and that the people of Mecca don't believe in consuming, but sharing instead. This made Joey furious, as he needed to expand his empire to the farthest reaches of the world.

At the same time, Mecca became more and more aware of Joey's rule, as he imposed his new "Flag For Ownership" rule, which stated that 'To officially claim something as your own, you must put a flag/insigna somewhere near or on the object/place'. Normally, Mecca wouldn't have followed this rule, but since they were 12% owned by Joey, they had to listen. This made the new owner of Mecca, Calien, annoyed. He didn't like the new rule, and also didn't like Joey. And ever since Joey bought CUM Industries, Cum-Lord hadn't showed up again. Calien started to suspect that Joey wasn't much of a good guy, and his distrust towards the man grew.

### Sinking Further

Soon after this, Joey saw something that made his blood boil. When he went to go and visit Danny at his home, he saw the citizens of Mecca inside Danny's home, as they all shared a nice meal. This was Joey's final straw in keeping peace with Mecca, from here on out he would do anything in his power to corrupt it from the inside. He started by contacting one of the citizens of Mecca, Lizz. Joey convinced them to become a part of the Homeland officially, and Lizz agreed to do so, while still living in Mecca. Next, while Calien was out working on a shed, Joey snuck into Mecca, and kidnapped Jod, the city's symbol and protector. He took Jod out of the city, and hid him in a cave.This was going to be the extent of Joey's inside corruption, but then he learned something new. Mecca's Experience Farm worked better then his. Joey couldn't handle this, and he began to scheme further.

Not long after, Joey's descent began to increase, and he was about to wage war on Mecca. Joey's girlfriend caught wind of this, as she had noticed the change in Joey's personality, and had been growing increasingly worried about him. She eventually worked up the nerve to ask him if he was okay, but this didn't go as planned. Joey lashed out at her, and berated her with insults, all the while raving on about how Mecca would pay for their insolence. This frightened Joey's girlfriend, and caused her to call him a dictator and a fiend. Joey didn't like hearing this, and was about to go off on her, but then he saw the fear in her eyes, and Joey realized his mistake. He began to apologize to her, claiming it was another part of him, growing over the true Joey, but she didn't care. She didn't believe him, no matter how hard he tried to convince her it wasn't truly him.

In a final act of trying to save their relationship, Joey told his girlfriend about a cabin he owns, and how he had been planning to take them there, to live together, away from all of the chaos and insanity of the world. This made his girlfriend feel slightly better, but this wouldn't last long, as she gave him an ultimatum: Mecca or her. And unfortunately, Joey picked Mecca. He lost his girl that day, and instead of feeling bad about it, Joey used this anger and frustration against Mecca.

Joey told Lizz that they needed to do something major, and Lizz came up with a plan. During the night, Joey and Lizz moved Jod through a dimensional rift, which led to a different part of Earth. This rift led to a tundra, with a small cabin where Joey's great grandfather used to live, the same one Joey was going to live in with his girlfriend. Underneath the house, was a large basement, where Joey had set up a cage to put Jod in. Joey's plan, once Calien had noticed Jod had gone missing, was to lead him to the house, show Jod in the basement, and then tell Calien that he wanted full control over everything or else Jod would die. What Calien wouldn't know, was that if he even attempted to get Jod out, the ceiling would pull away, and burning lava would flow onto Jod, melting him.

### The Art Installation

Sometime after Joey's breakup, during his planning against Mecca, Joey issued a company to convert his ex's home into an Art Installation. Her homestead was turned into *Penis: A Throbbing Art Installation*. All of the art and materials were donated by Joey.

### The Fall of an Empire

The day where Calien noticed that Jod was gone came shortly, and Calien instantly blamed Joey, who had coincidentally just showed up to Mecca at the same time. He told Calien that he knew where Jod was, and everyone made their way to the cabin. Once they entered the basement, Joey made his speech about wanting all of the power. Calien didn't care what Joey had to say, and began to break Jod out, which activated the lava trap, melting Jod into nothing. Joey was enraged that his plan didn't work, and he stormed out of the cabin with Lizz, preparing an all out war.

Lizz and Joey rushed back to the Homeland, as Danny and Calien went to Mecca. Each team gathered their respective weaponry, and prepared to fight. When they were ready, Joey and Lizz made their way to Mecca, where they saw Danny and Calien over at Danny's house, with no sort of weaponry, or armour. The two explained that they didn't want to fight, and would rather settle things over food. Joey didn't buy it, but Lizz did, and they set their weapons down. Joey and Lizz sat down with Danny and Calien. As the meal began, Joey could hear something from under the ground, a faint hissing. As he heard this, he saw Danny and Calien put their armour back on. Before he could process this, the ground beneath them exploded, and sent everyone and everything flying. Lizz was killed instantly, as they did not have their armour on. Danny was injured badly, while Calien and Joey only had minor injuries. As the dust faded, Joey saw the crater where the house used to lie. He looked around to see if he could spot anyone else, but he only saw the wreckage of what once used to be his friend's home.

### An Empty World

Joey went home after this event, and dwelled on everything that had happened. Joey felt he lost everyone, as he had no idea that Calien or Danny survived. After a short time contemplating what had happened, Joey decided it would be for the best, if he packed his things, and left the Homeland for good. He took what little things he thought he needed, and made his way, far away from Old Poglandia.

He would eventually make his way to the cabin that he planned on moving into with his ex, and decided this would be the location he would spend the rest of his days at. He set up the little amount of things he took with him, and got ready to face the rest of his life alone. But something continued to nag at him. His urge for power wasn't gone. Despite watching his friends die in front of him, and his girlfriend leave him due to his greed, he still felt the urge to gain more power, in anyway he could. That's when Joey realized what power he was missing, power inside of himself. He now owned all of Old Poglandia, had the strongest weapons and armour in the land, but without all of that, he was still just a man.

So Joey began his research, and started to develop an enhancement serum, that would put his body at peak physical performance. Months went by, as Joey worked on this serum, and at the end of Summer 2021, Joey had completed his serum. Using the pod he created to infuse himself with the serum, he took the enhancement serum, which increased his strength to superhuman levels, but at a cost. He began to develop a alternative identity, which manifested in the chaotically sadistic psychopath known as Penid Goblin. This other person living in Joey's head, seemed to be all of Joey's thoughts, only amplified to a much more extreme measure. The Goblin became the center for all of Joey's greed and disgust for the world around him. After realizing what happened to him, Joey's lust for power decreased, as he began to grow increasingly worried about what could happen to him, with the Goblin living in his head.

Only two weeks later, Joey's fears would come to life. He heard the news that the same company that sent him and his friends out to Old Poglandia, would soon be sending a new group out to do the same thing. This made Joey fear for what could happen to that innocent group of people. Joey wanted to warn them, about repeating the same mistakes he made, but he couldn't bring himself out of hiding. That's where the Goblin stepped in, fronting, and beginning to design a suit of armour, stronger than Joey's. One that would hide Joey and Goblin's true identity, while also being able to dismantle this new group, before they even have a chance to become anything. Three weeks later, Goblin had his armour and glider ready, but needed a form of weapon. The Goblin wanted bombs, that he could throw at the citizens of this new land, as a warning of what could come if they continued what they were doing. Goblin decided that once the new group moved to Poglandia, that he would take a visit and see if he could make himself known early on, by buying from one of the members of the group.

### A New Era and the Ratio Equation

In September of 2021, five more people were sent out to new lands, to create a working society, just like Old Poglandia. These people were Frank Lime, Percy Matthews, Joline Kerr, Bumbo and Harvey. Upon reaching the new land, each set up shop right in the same area, except for Percy, who decided to explore a nearby forest. Frank began constructing his home, which he intended to double as a museum, which would hold fake items that he claimed were from the lands of Old Poglandia. Bumbo set up his home at the summit of a mountain, one that was located right next to where Frank and the rest of the citizens were building their homes. Joline found a nice hole in the side of the mountain, and decided she would live there. And Harvey wasn't too sure where he wanted to live yet, so he decided to camp outside of Frank's house while it was being built.

In the first week of New Poglandia being settled in, Harvey already began to stir up problems. He hiked up the mountain to where Bumbo lived, and attempted to steal from the man. Unfortunately, Harvey was caught, and put into a sectioned off area so Bumbo could question him. Harvey refused to say anything, but Bumbo was persistent. Wondering where Harvey had went, Frank climbed up to Bumbo's house to ask if he had seen Harvey, but was met with the sight of Harvey trapped by Bumbo. Bumbo explained to Frank why he trapped Harvey, and Frank tried to reason with Bumbo, attempting to let Harvey go free. As a form of bribery, Harvey attempted to give Bumbo something known as the "Ratio Equation", in return Harvey would be let go. Bumbo, knowing what the Ratio Equation was, doubted that Harvey really had it. So Harvey wrote it down on a piece of paper, and showed it to Frank and Bumbo. Frank snapped a photo of it, claiming he had no idea what it was, but Bumbo wasn't so lucky. As he copied it down on a seperate piece of paper, Harvey ripped up the paper containing the full equation. This made Bumbo mad, as he hadn't finished writing it down, and only had the first three parts. Bumbo told Harvey to write it back down, but he refused, claiming he should be let free, since he provided the equation. But Bumbo wouldn't budge, and refused to let Harvey out. Frank didn't agree with this, so he broke Harvey out, and the two quickly scaled down the mountain back to Frank's house.

Upon reaching the bottom, the two spoke about what just happened. They agreed that they should become partners, due to the fact that they both had the Ratio Equation. Not long after this, they would go to speak with Bumbo, to apologize about what had happened. He accepted their apology, under the conditions that they would partner with him, and give him the rest of the equation. After speaking with each other, Harvey and Frank agreed, only if they would be paid for it. Bumbo agreed, and Harvey gave Bumbo another part to the Ratio Equation, but they had tricked him, giving him a part that he already had. Frank and Harvey tried to flee, but only Harvey was able to escape. Frank didn't know what to do, so he gave up a real new part to the equation, which granted him his freedom. This wouldn't be the last time that Frank and Bumbo would speak about the equation, as Frank would return only a day later, to give Bumbo one of the final parts to the equation.

During this, Joline finished up her hut, and began work on another project, her Dollar Tree. Joline believed that she knew all of the members of New Poglandia, before she even met them. She also claimed to have been a part of Old Poglandia, and that all of the people from New Poglandia were also there. None of this was true however, but Joline was very sure of this fact. She was also very sure she worked at a Dollar Tree in Old Poglandia, that was destroyed when Danny's house exploded. But this too, was not true. Nevertheless, Joline was going to rebuild her Dollar Tree, and work in it. As this went on, Percy and his pet cat Archibald, began working on their cabin, which rested deep in the woods, a fair distance away from the rest of New Poglandia. Percy's cat, Archibald, was quite odd. Percy always made sure that no-one even looked at Archibald for longer than forty seven seconds, let alone pet him. And even though Percy was very particular about his cat, no-one really knew why.

### A Strange Encounter

A week later, things were progressing in New Poglandia very well. Frank's house was nearing completion, Bumbo's mountain top home was done, and he was beginning to open up some shops near his house too, Joline's Dollar Tree was progressing, and Harvey finally moved off of Frank's land. He moved a bit away from New Poglandia, settling on the shore of a large lake. But one night, as Bumbo was cleaning up his Pumpkin Shop, he heard something, laughter. He looked to the sky, and saw a figure, riding what looked like some sort of glider. It landed next to him, and hoped off. The man, who was covered in a golden armour, looked at Bumbo's pumpkin store, and then to Bumbo. Bumbo asked what the masked man wanted, and the man spoke to Bumbo, in a raspy voice, telling him he was only there to purchase some of his pumpkins. This shocked Bumbo, as when he told his neighbors about the pumpkin store, they all told him it was a dumb idea. Bumbo asked the man how many he wanted, and the man told him he would take as many as he could buy. Bumbo gave him seven pumpkins, and the man asked how much he had to pay. Bumbo wasn't sure, since he had never sold any yet, and the man told him to name any price, and he could pay it. The man ended up paying Bumbo fifty three diamonds for the pumpkins, and after he paid, he hoped onto this glider and turned to Bumbo, telling him, "No good deed goes unpunished."

The man flew off, and saw Joline working on her farm. The man flew down to Joline's house, as she went back inside. He landed, and knocked on the door. When Joline didn't answer, the man decided to throw down the door with his superhuman strength. He entered, as Joline looked on, panicked. He threw Joline over, and shouted at her, telling her to stop building the Dollar Tree, and that everyone in New Poglandia needed to leave, and not repeat the mistakes of Old Poglandia. He told her that if she didn't listen, then terrible things would happen. The man hoped back onto his glider, and Joline asked what the man's name was. He turned to her, and told her to call him the *Penid Goblin*. And with that, the Goblin flew off, cackling as he did. This encounter frightened Joline, but not enough to deter her from continuing her construction.

About a week later, after a trip to find sand, Bumbo and Joline returned home. As they began to get settled in their homes, Bumbo could hear loud booming coming from right outside his room. He ran to the window to see the Penid Goblin flying around on his glider, throwing bombs at the side of the mountain. Bumbo was horrified, but even more so when he saw what the bombs were made out of, pumpkins. The same pumpkins that Bumbo had sold to the Goblin only weeks before hand. The Goblin finished his bombing and flew off. Joline, who had heard the explosions, had been able to snap a couple photos of the Goblin, and showed them to her neighbor, Frank, who didn't believe Joline.

### Christmas Time and the Grand Openings

A month later, in about mid-December, things had been very quiet in New Poglandia. The residents were able to finish their houses, while Joline continued working on the Dollar Tree. While Joline was working on the store, Bumbo came down the mountain to talk about Penid Goblin, since he knew Joline was the only other person to have any interaction with the man. Frank saw the two talking and began to eavesdrop on them. He didn't hear much, but his distrust towards the two began to grow. Frank often took trips to the top of Bungolo Peak, and on one of those trips, Frank had found a pair of golden boots hung on the wall in Bumbo's home. Frank, assuming this was a part of the Penid Goblin's suit, came to the conclusion that Bumbo had to have been the Penid Goblin. Frank stole the boots, and brought them to his underground bunker, which he had built underneath the Tally Hall. And only days after this, Frank found a chest outside his house, and a sign which read, "Disappointment lies within your hubris." Although Frank wasn't sure who left the sign, he was fairly certain it was Bumbo.

Days after this, Frank and Joline were ready to open their stores. Frank went first, opening the Tally Hall to the public. Frank made all of the residents of New Poglandia pay full price, as they walked through the museum of (mostly fake) oddities from Old Poglandia, including Uncle Joey's real armour (dyed leather armour) and "real" iron from Jod. After the tour, Joline guided the group over to the Dollar Tree for it's grand (re)opening. Frank didn't join them, as he was old and tired, and needed a nap. While he took his nap however, he was approached by the Penid Goblin, who knocked Frank out, to assure he wouldn't wake up. Then, Penid Goblin got on his glider and flew over to the Dollar Tree, just as Joline opened it's doors. Penid Goblin flew above the group and laughed, as he tossed several of his Pumpkin Bombs into the store, destroying it. When the dust settled, there was nothing left but a crater where the store once was. Not only that, but the Goblin also bombed the community Nether portal, which was nearby. As everyone stood up and tried to understand what just happened, the Goblin flew back over to the group, and revealed that Bumbo was the one who supplied him with the pumpkins for the bombs. With that final message, Penid Goblin flew off. But the day was far from over, as Joline was absolutely crushed by the destruction of the Dollar Tree. When the group tried to comfort her, she turned to Bumbo and began to accuse him of causing the explosion. Bumbo tried to explain that he had no idea what Penid Goblin was going to use the pumpkins for, but Joline didn't care. She told Bumbo to meet her in the crater where the Nether portal had been, so they could fight to the death. Thankfully, when the two showed up, so did everyone else, and they were able to de-escalate the situation.

The very next day, to try and clear the tense air between everyone, Percy decided to throw a Christmas party, and everyone was invited. Everyone showed up, and they all had a great time. Frank drank most of Percy's alcohol and talked about Iraq, which he does when he's drunk. While at the party, the crew decides that on the hundredth day of New Poglandia, they should all go to Old Poglandia. And almost a week after the party, Joline, Frank and Bumbo all meet the ghost of Herobrine. He curses Bumbo with the Curse of Snow, and Frank with the Curse of Cream. Frank also asks Herobrine about his religion, to which Herobrine confirms Frank's beliefs.

### A Trip to Old Poglandia

On the one hundreth day of New Poglandia (December 29th, 2021), Joline, Frank, Bumbo and Percy, all head out to Old Poglandia. It takes them several hours to reach the place, but once they do, they begin to explore immediately. They find the Homeland and Cum Tower first, and see what has happened since Uncle Joey last left the place. The Homeland is in a much worse condition, with things broken, and lots of graffiti covering the walls. After they were done in the Homeland, the group took the Nether Highway to Mecca. When they got there, they searched around and saw the Cumlord statue, and the Dragon Egg monument. At some point during their search of Mecca, Frank found something that sparked his interest, which resulted in him cutting his adventure short, and he quickly headed back to New Poglandia. After Frank had left, the trio decided to head back through the Nether Highway, when Joline remembered something from her past in Old Poglandia, an old cabin in the middle of the snow. Joline also remembered how to get there, and led the group to the cabin. They all entered the cabin slowly, and saw it was empty. When they looked around, they saw several notable things, like flags from Old Poglandia, and a full netherite armour set. The group then found a ladder which led to a basement, which had a large fish tank, which held Reggie, and a room which was boarded off. They took the boards off the door, and entered the secret room.

Inside, Joline, Percy and Bumbo found a large glass tube, the Penid Goblin's armour, his bombs, and his glider. They quickly realized they were in the home of the Penid Goblin, and began to race out. They didn't make it far before they were stopped by the owner of the house, Uncle Joey. He had just come home from gathering more firewood, and caught the group trying to leave his house. When they were caught, they didn't know what to do, as they thought that Joey would kill them, but he didn't, he explained to them what happened after Old Poglandia, and how he became the Goblin. In his ramblings, he mentioned the name Frank, which sparked Percy to ask who Frank was. Joey explained that he had a brother named Frank, and that was when the group finally put it together that Frank was related to Joey. Joey then asked the group if he could come back to New Poglandia with them, as he was worried what could happen if he stayed in the cabin any longer. Each member of the group had a different answer: Percy didn't trust Joey and didn't want him to come back with them, Bumbo thought the opposite, thinking that Joey needs their help, and Joline, who wasn't even thinking about what to do with Joey. She was thinking about something else, her past. When they ran into Joey, he told Joline that he had never met her before, which confused Joline, since she certainly remembers living in Old Poglandia with Joey and the rest of the crew. While the rest of the group talked about what to do with Joey, Joline decided to go into the Nether portal, and run away. Bumbo and Percy were unable to stop her, and finally agreed to let Joey come back with them.

By the next day, the group, now including Joey, made it back to New Poglandia. Bumbo brought Joey to the Tally Hall, where he was able to reunited with his brother, Frank. The two had a lenghty reunion, talking about what the other person had been up to in the last year. Joey admitted to Frank that he was the Penid Goblin, and Frank accepted this. After Joey had moved in with Frank, Joey noticed the museum, and asked Frank to take it down, telling him it was "insensitive to those who lived and died in Old Poglandia." Frank was too lazy to take the whole thing down, so he contacted the Paragon Corp, and asked them to send someone out who works with wood, and the company sent out Gil Williams to help.

### Trouble Arises

On the first day of the new year, the Paragon Corp sent out a member of their scientist team, Lambda Vance, to look into the Penid Goblin and the disappearance of Joline. She sets up her Lab just down the road from the Tally Hall, which begins to worry Frank, since he is currently allowing the Penid Goblin to live in his home. The residents of New Poglandia (besides Harvey) all get together, and make an agreement to not out Joey as the Goblin to Lambda, since it would get Joey in big trouble. Not even a week later, Frank is arrested, and sent to prison for unknown reasons, which causes a strange vacuum in the clockwork of the town. Worried that Lambda will take advantage of the almost empty Tally Hall, Percy and Bumbo sneak into the Tally Hall to try to find if Frank is hiding anything, to make sure Lambda can't find it. While they snooped around the Hall, they were spotted by Joey, who agreed to help them search for things that could get Frank in trouble. While they searched, they ended up stumbling upon a hidden door, which led to a staircase. Following the staircase down, led to an elevator, which when taken, led to a long hallway, full of oddities. This was Frank's hidden bunker, where he had been building an Aether portal. Frank had been building this machine, as he thought that after Old Poglandia, Joey had gone to the Aether to hide from the public, and Frank was going to try and rescue his brother. Obviously this wasn't the case, but it didn't matter, as the machine was still completed and sitting in Frank's basement. The three found several other things in the bunker, such as a copy of Joline's diary, Bumbo's power suit, and several contraband items.

Once done in the bunker, the trio headed back upstairs, and realized they needed to keep the bunker hidden from Lambda. So the next day, Uncle Joey hired Gil to renovate more of the Tally Hall, making the place more of a maze, and making it harder to find hidden locations.

### Another Addition

Two weeks after finding the bunker, the Paragon Corp sent out another scientist to New Poglandia. The Corporation did this, because they felt that Lambda's research was lackluster, and not on topic. For the last couple of weeks, Lambda's search for the Penid Goblin had simmered down, and her witch hunt for Joline only grew larger. Quinn Crawford, the new scientist sent by the company, spends his first night in New Poglandia, at Bumbo's Botel. The next day, Quinn walks through the woods, and stumbles upon Percy's house in the woods. He enters, trying to greet the young man, but Percy is not home. As Quinn leaves, Percy arrives home and sees that Quinn had entered his home. Percy walks to Quinn, who was still relatively close to the home, and yelled at him, telling him to not come back. Quinn nods to Percy, and continues his way home. Percy went back into his house, where he was met with the sight of Joline, who had snuck in. Joline told Percy to not freak out, and that she needed to talk to Percy, but also needs to know what Quinn is at New Poglandia for, so Joline tells Percy to run back outside and invite Quinn in. Percy agrees, and apologizes to Quinn, and invites him inside. Once inside, Quinn and Percy chat, and Quinn learns several untrue facts about the residents of New Poglandia. Quinn thanks Percy for the information, and heads back home. After Quinn had left, Joline came downstairs and asked Percy what Quinn was there for, and Percy reassured Joline that she had nothing to worry about.

The next day, Percy made his way to where Quinn was building his home, and asked him if he could send a letter to the Paragon Corpoation on his behalf. Quinn was happy to oblige, and wrote and sent a letter on Percy's behalf. A day after this, Joey hired Gil once more, to work on the biggest project he had ever worked on before, building Joey a mansion. Joey was getting tired of living in the basement of his brother's house, and wanted a way to show off his wealth a bit, so he hired Gil to build a mansion on the hill right behind the Town Hall. Gil took the job, and very quickly got to work.

### Frank's Return

Six days later, on February 5th, Frank was released from prison, and sent back out to New Poglandia. Upon returning, he explained that the reason he was arrested in the first place, was due to his pet goat. Frank had hired his pet goat to his taxes back when they first moved to New Poglandia, and it was finally catching up to him. The Government let Frank go after realizing that the goat was the one who didn't do the taxes, not Frank. Frank also notices that someone has been in his underground bunker, and assumes it was his brother. Later that same day, Lambda was approached by a man in a yellow and blue costume, claiming to be a superhero. Lambda asked the superhero who he was and why he was in New Poglandia, to which the superhero explained that he was the new Cumlord, and that he vowed to find Joline and slay her. Lambda doesn't take the man seriously, and walks away.

The next day, Quinn finishes his home, and decides to meet some of the neighbors, including Frank and Joey. He can sense that something is up with Joey, but isn't sure what. The following day, Frank enters his room, and finds a note written from Joline, which suggests that she knows about the secret bunker room. This begins to worry Frank, as he rationalizes that either Joey told Joline, or worse, Joline is working with the Penid Goblin. Unbeknownst to Frank, his suspicions were correct, as Joline had recently been contacted by the Penid Goblin, who was actively helping Joline "go home". This wasn't the only odd thing to come out of the last few days, as only days after this, a ship crashed right next to New Poglandia. It was the ship of Captain M.V.P. He had accidentally crashed his ship after he drove through a nasty storm at sea. Captain MVP wasn't too worried though, as he quickly began to rebuild his ship bigger and better. Captain MVP was only discovered several days after he had crashed, by Quinn, who was doing more exploring. When Quinn returned home a couple days later, he saw that someone had found his secret journal, and wrote him a message, reminding him to hide his stuff better, since people like to snoop around. This freaked Quinn out, and to take his mind off of this, he decided to take a two-day trip to the outskirts of New Poglandia.

### Ace Appears and Leaves

While Gil was working on the outside of the Tally Hall, he saw a man slowly approach him. Gil didn't recognize the man, but he introduced himself anyways. The man claimed his name was Ace, and he was very confused. Ace swore he had no idea where he was, but was pretty certain he was just having a bad trip, and that his friends were pranking him. Gil assured Ace that he was most certainly not tripping, and that he was really in New Poglandia. This confused Ace more, as he was from California and was born in the 60s, and New Poglandia was not in California. Ace wa still pretty certain his friends were just pranking him, but Gil continued to show him things to prove he was not in 1960's California. Gil shows Ace around New Poglandia, while also showing him lots of modern day technology, which only slightly convinces Ace. The two end up becoming friends, and Gil sets up a room in the Tally Hall for Ace to sleep in. Normally Frank would have kicked him out. but Frank was too lazy to walk downstairs to even talk to Ace.

At the same time, Quinn and Lambda took a trip together to Percy's house, to ask him about Joline. Lambda and Quinn did not like each other, as one was sent to literally correct the other's mistakes. Percy's house ended up being empty, and Quinn refused to poke around any more, but Lambda didn't care, and read Percy's journal. While they looked through Percy's house, Gil and Ace accidentally found a cave, which deep inside, held a message written on the wall. The message said, "Uvzi gsv lmv dsl dzmgh gl tl slnv.", which when translated said, "Fear the one who wants to go home." Ace and Gil reported it to the two scientists, who claimed they had no idea who or what the message could mean. Although this wasn't the complete truth, as this message just furthered Lambda's theory. One of the things that Lambda had been working on, was figuring out what the anomaly she had detected was, but she only had working theories. After learning about the message, her theory only grew stronger, as Lambda was faily certain that the anomaly was actually Joline. But since nobody knew where Joline lived, Lambda had to resort to building a machine which would detect the anomaly. She had been working on the machine ever since she arrived, but was still missing several components to it, including a wither skull. But with the new info being discovered about the anomaly, Lambda knew she didn't have long to find Joline, but her machine wasn't finished.

Instead of waiting around until she found a wither skull, Lambda decided to enter the Tally Hall to see if Frank had one. While she searched she ended up finding the hidden door which led to the underground bunker, but before she could open it, she was stopped by Joey, who was moving the last of his stuff out of the basement. Joey questioned what she was doing, to which Lambda tried to explain that she was just looking for a wither skull, and continued to open the hidden door. Knowing he couldn't let Lambda enter the bunker, Joey pulled out his sword and held it out at Lambda, threatening her. Lambda realized she must have found something big, and slowly closed the door, and left the house. She quickly ran into Quinn's house to tell him what she had just found, but he wasn't home. She found his journal and wrote him a message detailing what had just happened at the Tally Hall, and that the two of them should put their differences aside, and try to take down Frank, the Penid Goblin, and Joline together.

Later that same night, Joey tried to sleep in his almost completed mansion, but couldn't keep the voice of the Penid Goblin out of his head. The voice of the Goblin got so bad, that Joey ended up texting Percy and asking if he could stay the night at his house. Percy let him stay the night, as long as he slept on the couch. At the same time, Gil was very stressed out, reading all of the messages in the groupchat, while also having to build a mansion, and deal with Ace, who wouldn't stop bothering Gil in the groupchat. This caused Gil to yell at Ace in the groupchat. Ace took this personally, and assumed he was a bother to everyone, and left New Poglandia. Before he left, he dropped off a note at Gil's house letting him know he was sorry if he upset him.

### Tensions Rise

After a couple of days of debating it, Frank and Joey agreed they should tell Quinn about Penid Goblin, since he seems trustworthy and might be the only person in New Poglandia who could help Joey. The two invited Quinn over to the Tally Hall, and told him that Joey was Penid Goblin, while also showing Quinn the underground bunker. Quinn was astonished, and agreed to attempt to cure Joey. Later that same night, as Lambda worked in the Mob Museum, she was approached by Penid Goblin, who knew that she was trying to pry deeper into the Romano's business, which he didn't like. He threatened Lambda, and told her to stop searching for him. This didn't stop Lambda, as the very next day, she broke into Romano Manor, trying to find any dirt on Joey. At first, she didn't find much, but after some careful searching, Lambda found the enterance to Joey's private study, and found a file titled, "Project Tutum Deficient". Lambda didn't stop there, as she also broke into the Tally Hall and stole the key to Frank's safe.

All the while, Quinn began his first attempt at developing a possible cure for Joey, but his first attempt was unsuccessful. A day later, Joey's mansion is finished being built, and Joey officially moves into Romano Manor. He notices the file missing from his private study, and talks to Frank about it, and Frank mentions that his key was stolen. As the Romanos and Quinn fought tooth and nail to cure Joey, Bumbo was working on other things, like furnishing his home. He didn't know how to build furniture, and also wasn't sure how to contact the company about getting some furniture, so he did the next best thing: went to everyone's houses and stole some of their furniture, including all of their mailboxes. The residents very quickly noticed their furniture, and their mailboxes, missing, and began to ask in the groupchat about who stole it all. Nobody came forward, but Joline did begin to talk about possibly setting up a meeting with Lambda. Realizing how dangerous that could be, Quinn told Joline she shouldn't talk with Lambda until she has talked to a lawyer. Joline mentioned that she didn't have a lawyer, so Quinn saw the missing mailboxes and Joline's need for a lawyer, and came up with an idea. He told Joline he would talk to the Paragon Corp about sending a lawyer to New Poglandia, and within twenty four hours, the company provided.

### Better Call Saul

Days after Quinn asked the company to send out a lawyer, his prayers were answered. Saul Goodman set up shop very quickly, right across the street from Quinn's house. He quickly makes himself known, by leaving a business card at each person's doorstep. Frank finds his, and tosses it away, not liking the idea of a laywer being in town. Saul meets his first client only a day after moving into the town, Harvey Hernandez. Harvey hadn't interacted with any of the residents since the Christmas party. Harvey prefers to keep to himself, but decided he was tired of not interacting with anyone, so was thinking about moving to the main town square. While Harvey looked around for a place he could call home, he was the offices of Saul Goodman & Associates, and sat down in the waiting room. Harvey met with Saul, and officially made him his lawyer. Saul made sure Harvey hadn't done anything that he could be prosecuted for, and once that was done, Harvey left and began to build his new house.

The next day, Saul found his second client: Joline Kerr. She made her way into Saul's office, since Quinn had told her to meet with Saul before talking to any other member of New Poglandia. After enough convincing that Joline could trust Saul, she finally revealed everything she had been working on to Saul, which included the phrase "total nuclear fallout". She also revealed to Saul that she had been working with Penid Goblin. Saul told Joline to first, never interact with Penid Goblin again, under any circumstance. Second, she needs to completely lay low, as pretty much everyone in New Poglandia is after her. Joline agrees and heads home. As Saul finished his work, he checked the cameras he installed on the outside of his building, and Saul noticed that Harvey had been eavesdropping on the conversation between him and Joline. Saul angrily made his way to Harvey's new house, and banged on the door. Harvey eventually came to the door and was confused by Saul being there. Saul revealed he knows that Harvey was eavesdropping, and Harvey admitted he did. Saul shouted at Harvey, telling him how dangerous that was, and that nothing Harvey heard could be used in court, due to attorney-client privilege. Harvey told Saul that he wasn't going to try to bring Joline to court, and was more worried about the residents of New Poglandia and how Joline could accidentally hurt lots of people. Saul agreed, but made Harvey promise not to tell anyone what he heard, and that he would try to find out how dangerous what Joline is working on really is, and from there they could figure out what to do about Joline. Harvey agreed not to tell anyone, yet, and Saul quickly made his way back to his office.

The next day, Saul was introduced to a new client, Herobrine. During their initial meeting, Saul asked Herobrine if he would like to work for him, and Herobrine agreed, and became an employee at Saul Goodman & Associates. That same day. Joline went back to Saul's office, and brought up the idea of showing Saul where she had been living, and what she had been working on. Saul agreed to join her, since finding out what Joline was up to was exactly what Saul needed to do. He followed Joline to her new home, and saw everything she had been working on. All of Harvey and Saul's fears were confirmed, and Saul quickly rushed back to his office.
