Bumbo (Dimension-232)

**Bumbo** is the homeless man who lives at the top of Bungolo Peak. He was a part of the main group of people who first moved to New Poglandia. He helped Penid Goblin create his Pumpkin Bombs, although he wasn't aware that Penid Goblin was evil.

## History

### New Poglandia

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. 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.

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.

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."

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.

### Christmas Time and the Grand Openings

A month later, 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. 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 Joline showed everyone the Dollar Tree, Penid Goblin knocked Frank out and made his way 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.

After Frank got arrested, Bumbo was worried that Lambda would take advantage of the almost empty Tally Hall, so Percy and Bumbo snuck 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.

### The Mailbox Debacle

While tension was rising in New Poglandia, 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.
