EthosLab's Double Life: Episode 1

**Stuck Together Forever** is EthosLab's first episode of Double Life. It was uploaded on June 17, 2022.

## Plot

The episode starts as everyone goes their separate ways from the spawn area. EthosLab hangs out with GoodTimesWithScar and BdoubleO100 and they gather materials together. They go mining but quickly leave their mine as mobs attack them. ImpulseSV shows up and gives each of them shields. BdoubleO100 steals some iron from EthosLab’s furnace.

BdoubleO100, GoodTimesWithScar, and EthosLab ask ImpulseSV to go into their mine for them and kill the mobs. EthosLab gives ImpulseSV a sword and GoodTimesWithScar hits ImpulseSV into the hole. The three follow ImpulseSV into the mine and adjoining cave as he kills all mobs. BdoubleO100 and GoodTimesWithScar leave while ImpulseSV and EthosLab kill an Enderman before going up to the surface together.

EthosLab and ImpulseSV head to the pillager outpost and fight the pillagers together with InTheLittleWoods. InTheLittleWoods shows EthosLab the allay he got and explains how to obtain one. EthosLab loots the tents outside the outpost while InTheLittleWoods shows off the horn he got from the chest inside the outpost.

EthosLab takes quite some damage from his soulmate and InTheLittleWoods thinks that the worst soulmate to have wouldn’t be GoodTimesWithScar but SmallishBeans, since SmallishBeans tends to do dangerous water bucket clutches. EthosLab obtains an allay by giving it wood and tames a dog. EthosLab and InTheLittleWoods use a boat to get down into the water ravine where GoodTimesWithScar, BdoubleO100, and ImpulseSV are; BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV reveal that they’re in love. EthosLab questions whether they have a happy marriage; they assure him that they are extremely happy.

BdoubleO100 hits EthosLab and gets attacked by EthosLab’s dog. EthosLab calls his dog Chumpers and sits it down, so it won’t continue attacking. The group goes mining in a cave together and bump into PearlescentMoon, SmallishBeans, and Solidarity at an amethyst geode. EthosLab drops down in front of SmallishBeans and they take damage at the same time, which causes them to realize that they are soulmates.

EthosLab and SmallishBeans continue mining and smelting iron for armor and GoodTimesWithScar makes fun of whether their relationship is true love. GoodTimesWithScar hits SmallishBeans with his axe and SmallishBeans hits him back, almost killing him. SmallishBeans gives GoodTimesWithScar some mutton so he can recover. SmallishBeans crafts helmets for both himself and EthosLab before EthosLab reminds him that helmets aren’t allowed; they give the two helmets to GoodTimesWithScar who doesn’t care about the rules.

GoodTimesWithScar asks EthosLab whether it’s possible to take over the pillager outpost after killing all the pillagers; EthosLab tells him that the pillagers will keep spawning, but that one might be able to use them as guards if one builds their base heigh enough above the outpost. EthosLab asks GoodTimesWithScar to hit SmallishBeans so they can experiment and see whether the resulting damage would hit EthosLab off while bridging.

After returning to the surface, EthosLab, SmallishBeans, and GoodTimesWithScar run into Grian where they find that Grian and GoodTimesWithScar are linked. EthosLab almost dies after accidentally throwing his ender PearlescentMoon into the water. He deliberately hurts GoodTimesWithScar’s allay by throwing snowballs at it. The group fights off an Enderman that glitches in the water of the river. The four decide to team up together.

EthosLab and SmallishBeans later spot Bigbst4tz2 jump down into a cave, and they jump down after him, meeting Smajor1995, Rendog, and ZombieCleo in the cave as well. They then look for the pillager outpost but forget where it is. They find ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100’s base and steal some of their wheat while they are busy talking to Smajor1995 and ZombieCleo. Smajor1995 spots SmallishBeans stealing the crops, and EthosLab sneakily digs inside the base while the others go after SmallishBeans; he then steals ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100’s beds.

EthosLab and SmallishBeans run into Solidarity outside the base and laugh at the fact that he died already. SmallishBeans gives Solidarity mangrove roots while EthosLab gives him smooth basalt blocks. EthosLab crafts a boat and tries to put an Enderman in it, but nearly gets blown up by a creeper while doing so. He traps the Enderman and SmallishBeans starts hitting it, but accidentally breaks the boat and the Enderman kills SmallishBeans, which kills EthosLab as well.

EthosLab and SmallishBeans respawn and quickly head to the spot where they died. Solidarity tells them he stole SmallishBeans’s spyglass while they retrieve their items, which have partly been put in a chest by ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100. ImpulseSV asks to keep one of their amethyst shards and SmallishBeans agrees. BdoubleO100 gives EthosLab his iron pants back and EthosLab gives BdoubleO100 his and ImpulseSV’s beds back in return.

The group meets with InTheLittleWoods and PearlescentMoon and notice that InTheLittleWoods is riding a donkey with a saddle. They all try to barter for the saddle, but InTheLittleWoods rejects their offers. EthosLab tries to trade for PearlescentMoon’s diamond by offering his spyglass, but she refuses as well. EthosLab harvests cocoa beans from BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV’s farm before replanting them.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab meet with Grian and GoodTimesWithScar, who laugh at their yellow names. 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 to the outpost and EthosLab hits Grian off in turn before jumping down himself.

EthosLab, SmallishBeans, and Grian reach the pillager outpost and find that GoodTimesWithScar started building above it already. SmallishBeans and EthosLab fight off pillagers and the three go up to the dark oak plank platform. Grian extends the platform while EthosLab assures the others it’s totally safe. Grian coins the ship name ‘SmallEtho’ for SmallishBeans and EthosLab.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab build a dirt bridge leading from the platform towards the world border. They place a water bucket and EthosLab starts making a dirt staircase downwards, but the pillagers use the waterfall to swim upwards, so they quickly remove the water. A pillager spawns on the platform and GoodTimesWithScar acknowledges that the whole thing is a bad idea.

The group uses boats to get down from the platform and they 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. SmallishBeans and EthosLab escape the base through a tunnel dug by Grian after GoodTimesWithScar accidentally lets some pillagers inside, but the group eventually manages to kill all the pillagers.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab show up at TangoTek and Solidarity’s base and admit that they gave up on building a base above the pillager outpost. Tango tells them about his chicken farm and SmallishBeans and EthosLab plan on coming by when they’re low on food; Tango tells them not to despite EthosLab saying that they’re all ‘team yellow’ now. SmallishBeans makes a wheat farm close to the pillager outpost and EthosLab leads some sheep there past Grian and GoodTimesWithScar’s base, which is where the episode ends.

## Description

Double Life is an odd mix of a Social and PvP Minecraft game started by Grian. Players are thrown into a tiny world with almost no rules, except survive as long as possible.

In this version players have 3 lives that are linked to their soul bound partner which is chosen randomly at the start of the game. Red Players are given the goal of killing all the other players in the game.
