Grian's Double Life: Episode 1

**DOUBLE TROUBLE!** is Grian's first episode of Double Life. It was uploaded on June 17, 2022.

## Plot

Grian starts his episode with his own introduction video. He gathers materials, crafts tools, and comes across SmallishBeans; they realize they aren’t bonded as SmallishBeans takes damage without Grian taking damage. SmallishBeans leaves Grian to go look for his soulmate.

Grian gathers food and finds Smajor1995 and Rendog just as Rendog kills a frog. Grian hits Rendog and Smajor1995 hits Grian, but none of them are bonded to each other. Grian later finds ZombieCleo who is mining under him, and she comes up to the surface so they can do the test; they find that they aren’t bonded either.

Grian mines iron and coal on a mountain, smelts the iron, and obtains a goat horn. Smajor1995 meets him on the mountain and Grian complains that his partner isn’t eating. Smajor1995 tells him there’s a melon field nearby. Grian obtains another horn but doesn’t like the sound of it, so he gifts it to Smajor1995. He obtains another bad horn and gives it to TangoTek, who’s stopping by together with Bigbst4tz2.

Smajor1995 and Grian test whether they are bonded to either TangoTek or Bigbst4tz2, but none of them are bonded to each other. Grian’s health drops seven hearts and he screams for food; Smajor1995, TangoTek, and Bigbst4tz2 all give him some. Smajor1995 thinks Grian might be bonded to either Solidarity or GoodTimesWithScar. The group then splits up.

Grian runs into BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV and asks them whether either of them took a lot of damage, but they reveal that they are bonded to each other. He tells them he thinks he’s either bonded to Solidarity or GoodTimesWithScar.

Grian leaves BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV and makes plans on going to the ancient city. He kills salmon in the water ravine close to the pillager outpost where he meets SmallishBeans, EthosLab, and GoodTimesWithScar. SmallishBeans hits GoodTimesWithScar and Grian initially thinks they aren’t soulmates. SmallishBeans and EthosLab reveal that they are soulbound. Grian hits GoodTimesWithScar, confused as to whether he’s taking damage himself or not. GoodTimesWithScar follows his allay up the river and SmallishBeans chases and hits him, revealing to Grian that they are in fact bonded. Grian lets out a scream of anguish once he finds out.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab make their way back to Grian and Grian asks SmallishBeans to keep his bond to GoodTimesWithScar a secret for now, since GoodTimesWithScar hasn’t figured it out yet. SmallishBeans reveals that he hit GoodTimesWithScar with his axe earlier to annoy GoodTimesWithScar’s soulmate, which was the cause of Grian losing so much health. GoodTimesWithScar returns to the group, stating that he lost his allay.

Grian asks GoodTimesWithScar whether he found his soulmate yet and GoodTimesWithScar pretends that the allay that left him was his soulmate. The group notices TangoTek and Solidarity dying and rejoice that they themselves weren’t the first to die. GoodTimesWithScar leaves to chase after his allay, and Grian offers to swap soulmates with EthosLab or SmallishBeans, considering changing the rules of the series to make such a thing possible with a special ritual.

GoodTimesWithScar returns with his allay and gets into Grian’s boat. Grian gives GoodTimesWithScar some cooked salmon and shows off his horn to the others. The group fights off an Enderman that glitches in the water of the river. The four decide to team up together and EthosLab proposes they make a base in the air above the pillager outpost so the pillagers will function as guards.

Grian thinks that there are many dangers to building in the air, and SmallishBeans and EthosLab deliberately let GoodTimesWithScar do a water clutch so he can show how good he is at those. The group runs into Solidarity, and they laugh at how Solidarity found out who his soulmate was by dying. Grian and GoodTimesWithScar also meet ZombieCleo and Smajor1995, who think they are paired with InTheLittleWoods and PearlescentMoon. GoodTimesWithScar punches Smajor1995 and is attacked by Smajor1995’s dog, but Smajor1995 makes the dog sit in time.

Grian and GoodTimesWithScar visit ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100’s base and Grian follows GoodTimesWithScar to the mountain where Grian obtained goat horns earlier. Grian explains how one gets a goat horn and he and GoodTimesWithScar notice that SmallishBeans and EthosLab died, which GoodTimesWithScar is fine with since the two had mocked him earlier. Grian obtains two more bad goat horns and gives one of them to GoodTimesWithScar.

Grian obtains two more horns, including one good one, before he and GoodTimesWithScar leave the mountain. They gather dark oak wood and GoodTimesWithScar still thinks that they should build a base above the pillager outpost. Grian thinks that EthosLab lied about the pillagers not spawning above the outpost, but GoodTimesWithScar doesn’t think so. They meet with SmallishBeans and EthosLab again who tell them how they died.

The group finds pandas and GoodTimesWithScar tells the others he’s using a texture pack that makes the pandas look like his cat. SmallishBeans and EthosLab are incredulous that GoodTimesWithScar hasn’t found out yet that Grian is his soulmate. The four make their way to the pillager outpost and Grian gives horns to both SmallishBeans and EthosLab. Grian hits SmallishBeans off the bridge leading there and EthosLab hits Grian off in turn before jumping down himself.

Grian, SmallishBeans, and EthosLab reach the pillager outpost and find that GoodTimesWithScar started building above it already. The three go up to the dark oak plank platform and Grian extends it while EthosLab assures the others it’s totally safe and how they now have mobs below them protecting them against attacks and even a moat. Grian coins the ship name ‘SmallEthosLab’ for SmallishBeans and EthosLab, though they call themselves Boat Gang.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab build a dirt bridge leading from the platform towards the world border, planning on making a way up and down beyond the field of pillagers. They place a water bucket, but the pillagers use the resulting waterfall to swim upwards, so they quickly remove the water. A pillager spawns on the platform and GoodTimesWithScar finally acknowledges that the whole thing is a bad idea.

The group notices pillagers congregating below them and SmallishBeans places water, allowing the pillagers to come up, before removing the water. They all use boats to get down from the platform and hurriedly run away as they’re being chased by pillagers. They walk past ZombieCleo, and she joins them in running across the bridge to Smajor1995’s place, where she blocks herself in with wood. The others keep running with the villagers behind them.

They lead the pillagers all the way to BdoubleO100’s base, who is enraged about this. Grian tunnels out of the base into BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV’s cow farm. He escapes the cow farm while getting shot, but the group eventually manages to kill all the pillagers. They explain to BdoubleO100 what happened and BdoubleO100 reveals that Rendog was planning on making a water elevator to lead all the pillagers up to the platform; they tell him they already did that to themselves.

Grian gives BdoubleO100 a horn, though BdoubleO100 reveals that ImpulseSV is planning on killing anyone with a horn. GoodTimesWithScar tells BdoubleO100 to prank ImpulseSV by blowing the horn behind his back. Grian plans on building a new base and invites GoodTimesWithScar along, though GoodTimesWithScar tells him he’s going to live with the Jellies and leaves. Grian is conflicted on whether he should follow GoodTimesWithScar, and the others think he shouldn’t since GoodTimesWithScar would get suspicious.

Grian, SmallishBeans, and EthosLab tells BdoubleO100 what the situation is and BdoubleO100 finds it hilarious. They theorize whether GoodTimesWithScar wants a soulmate or not since he seems to be sad to be alone, but also isn’t actively looking for his partner. Grian doesn’t want to tell him himself as that would ruin the fun.

Grian goes off by himself, collects birch wood, and picks a spot for his base close to the pillager outpost. He makes a wheat farm, spawns a chicken in a hole, and puts two sheep in a hole to start a sheep farm. He notices SmallishBeans making a farm on the other side of the ravine and copies his farm design by placing birch planks along the edge of his farm.

GoodTimesWithScar jumpGoodTimesWithScares Grian at his farm and shows off his new skin, telling him he found his soulmate Jellie. He tells Grian he’s living with the Jellies and is currently looking for whoever harvested all the bamboo. GoodTimesWithScar then leaves before Grian can tell him they’re soulmates.

Grian goes caving but comes up to the surface when he notices Solidarity at his base. He suspects Solidarity was stealing his stuff, but Solidarity tells him he wasn’t. Solidarity asks Grian for a goat horn, but Grian tells him he gave all his horns away save for his own. Grian tells Solidarity there is a club for people with horns and Solidarity desperately wants to be part of the club.

Solidarity asks Grian how he can get a horn, but Grian tells him most goats have lost their horns already, so there might be no way to get another horn. Grian demonstrates how each time he blows his horn, everyone else with a horn responds. Solidarity swears he’ll get a horn to join the club and leaves.

Grian starts making a wall from birch planks and stripped birch logs with dripstone spikes on top. He goes to GoodTimesWithScar who’s breeding pandas in the bamboo forest. He places a dripstone under a tree, telling GoodTimesWithScar that there’s a trick he wants to show him. He instructs GoodTimesWithScar to stand under the dripstone while looking at Grian, but GoodTimesWithScar looks away just as Grian breaks the dripstone above him.

Grian places the dripstone above GoodTimesWithScar again and breaks it, causing them both to take damage. GoodTimesWithScar finally realizes that Grian is his soulmate. Grian tells GoodTimesWithScar about the base he’s been making and GoodTimesWithScar questions whether he must live with Grian. Grian takes GoodTimesWithScar with him using a fishing rod despite GoodTimesWithScar saying he can’t leave his Jellies. Grian’s fishing rod breaks and GoodTimesWithScar follows of his own volition, though implores Grian that they take the Jellies to the base at one point.

GoodTimesWithScar asks when Grian found out they were soulmates and Grian tells him it was when they met in the canyon with EthosLab and SmallishBeans. GoodTimesWithScar questions why Grian screamed ‘no’ and Grian tells him it was because he fell. They reach the base and Grian extends the wall before they harvest wheat together. They blow their horns one last time and the episode ends.
