Grian's Double Life: Episode 2

**BUILDING UP!** is Grian's second episode of Double Life. It was uploaded on June 24, 2022.

## Plot

The episode starts with Grian at his base. He shows off the materials he gathered including sugarcane, which he had put in a secret underground barrel. He plans to secretly farm it for TNT and makes an underground small farm for it, though he doesn’t reveal the location of the farm.

GoodTimesWithScar tries to lead a group of pandas inside the fort, but Grian tells him that pandas aren’t allowed inside. He suggests that GoodTimesWithScar focus on helping build the base and GoodTimesWithScar puts the pandas in a hole outside. SmallishBeans shows up and shows of his new skin with EthosLab’s face on his chest. Grian quickly covers the sugarcane farm since GoodTimesWithScar accidentally dug into it when making the hole.

Grian explains his plan to add several layers to the base with different wood types. He collects mangrove wood and notices GoodTimesWithScar taking constant damage. He meets with Smajor1995 and Solidarity, and Smajor1995 tells Grian they shouldn’t let Solidarity take goats to his base while Solidarity explains that he traded for them. Grian thinks it’s fine since he believes that Solidarity doesn’t know how to get a goat horn, but Solidarity counters that his partner does. Grian tells Solidarity the goats need to be in a mountain biome and he and Smajor1995 both leave. Grian admits that he doesn’t think the goats need to be in a mountain biome.

Grian walks past TangoTek at the Ranch and explains his plan for the session. He recalls that he had been heartbroken when he found out last session that he wasn’t paired with Bigbst4tz2, so he intends to reject his soul bond with GoodTimesWithScar and woo BigB with gifts to win him over, so they can choose their own destiny.

Grian goes caving and messes with Solidarity and TangoTek, who’s Ranch is located directly above Grian’s cave; the two get scared whenever Grian sets off a creeper. He again receives constant damage from GoodTimesWithScar and plans to put him in a safety box. He digs down to look for diamonds and reaches the deep dark. He finds the ancient city and explores a bit before making a staircase to the surface.

Grian is found by InTheLittleWoods when nearly having reached the surface and the two GoodTimesWithScare each other. Grian tells InTheLittleWoods he found the ancient city and to gather some people so they can go on an expedition. Grian returns to his base and finds GoodTimesWithScar building a home for the Jellies. Solidarity visits and shows off the horn he got. Grian thinks that the horns are a lot less fun now that Solidarity has one and that they should stop blowing them. Solidarity blows his horn, and no one responds to him.

Solidarity sits on GoodTimesWithScar’s horse and Grian asks him whether he wants to join an expedition to the deep dark. Solidarity initially agrees before Grian reminds him that his name is yellow. Solidarity rides away with GoodTimesWithScar’s horse while yelling that it belongs on the Ranch; GoodTimesWithScar threatens to trample all the crops on the Ranch and Solidarity leaves the horse behind.

Grian later comes by the Ranch to prepare for the trip to the deep dark. Solidarity shows Grian InTheLittleWoods’s base, which is floating in the air close to Smajor1995’s and ZombieCleo’s bridge. Grian goes down the staircase to the deep dark together with Rendog, BigB, and InTheLittleWoods, and they find that EthosLab and ImpulseSV are already there. The group starts enchanting while EthosLab and ImpulseSV make a redstone contraption to activate the shriekers. They eventually spawn the warden and run to the staircase while throwing snowballs to distract him.

Grian hits the warden with a few snowballs, and it charges after them as they run up the staircase. Grian gets hit by a sonic blast but manages to survive. He goes to the surface while the others discuss going back down to the ancient city. Grian states that he feels he planted the seeds for BigB to leave Rendog and returns to his base.

Grian tells GoodTimesWithScar he’s banned from going to the deep dark since it’s not ‘Scar-safe’. Grian continues to build the next layer of the base and spots Solidarity trying to steal GoodTimesWithScar’s horse from the Jellie panda hole; he tells Solidarity off and Solidarity asks Grian if he has sugarcane; Grian responds that he doesn’t. SmallishBeans and EthosLab come by asking for sugarcane as well and they believe that someone is keeping it secret.

Grian reacts to Rendog and BigB’s death just as TangoTek and Solidarity are visiting. Grian notices Solidarity stealing GoodTimesWithScar’s horse again and finishes building the base in a timelapse. He tells GoodTimesWithScar the build is finished and that he doesn’t have to chop mangrove trees anymore. GoodTimesWithScar tells him that InTheLittleWoods had said the build looked like a cake and Grian recalls that InTheLittleWoods had also told him that the build is very flammable.

Grian somewhat accuses GoodTimesWithScar of already setting someone’s base on fire and GoodTimesWithScar tells him Grian is the one with the flint-and-steel; Grian doesn’t know how the flint-and-steel got in his inventory. He almost sets the Jellie sanctuary on fire, but GoodTimesWithScar puts out the fire in time. Grian crafts bread and walks towards Box, passing the Ranch burnt down by GoodTimesWithScar. He plans to check where GoodTimesWithScar logs out so he can trap him for next session.

Grian breaks into Box and sets up signs, a love heart made of red mangrove wood, and a chest filled with bread. The signs are instructions that the gift is for BigB only, that he should find himself a soulmate who doesn’t die to Endermen (like Rendog did), and a hint that his secret admirer is Grian. Grian returns to his base, planning on adding windows to it next session, and accidentally drops into the panda hole, which is where the episode ends.
