For better or worse (Limited Life)

1

It was another season of the life games. They had known that eventually they would get thrown back here by the watchers. But now that they are in this one, timers ticking down, that's honestly the least of their worries.

Their biggest worry? Well it's that there are five children on the server. On the server where your time ticks down, and there's fighting, and the adults come back traumatized. There are five kids that barely know how to take care of themselves, in a server, where it is inevitable that people will get to red, and break most alliances.

So, with Scar, Bdubs, Joel, Jimmy, and Grian all being various ages above 5 but below 13, no one quite knew what to do. Frankly, when they spawned in they were frozen with disbelief that Molded into concern.

Before anyone could react, Jim, Joel and grian ran off, with Jim and Joel together, and Grian a totally different way. With that, people started trying to run after them to try and help.

Cleo however, wasn't one of those people.

She quickly went to Bdubs, who was probably around 7, and Scar who was roughly 10. And grabbed their hands before they could run off.

She knew that kids didn't like being forced to do stuff, so she decided on saying "hey guys! Would you guys want to team up for the series?"

Bdubs and scar both nodded, smiles on their faces, and started wandering into the woods, Cleo staying closely behind, making sure that no mobs spawn and hurt the kids.

Grian roughly knew what the life games had in store for him when he spawned in. He knows that he's only 12, and most of the others are adults. So far in his life, all adults had been mean and distant. His parents abandoned him in a city when he was around 7 and he was ignored and hurt by whoever found the alley that he stayed in.

It was jarring suddenly being put into this world, but for some reason he felt as if he's done something like this before. That these people are familiar. Whatever he knows, tells him that it's not going to be fun. Therefore, he listens to that gut feeling that he has that is telling him not to let the adults find him and control his life.

He starts punching a tree, hoping to get enough to craft a pickaxe and get some cobble. He collects the wood and just as it starts to get dark, he mines a hole out and starts staircasing down to iron level, placing some torches with coal he found so no mobs spawn.

He was hoping that he was able to get settled in this mysterious place. It seemed to have more resources to build and live that the city surrounding his alley did.

He would fight for a home here, somewhere to stay for a while. and if that meant physically fighting someone? Well, he hasn't survived on the streets without knowing how to get by in a fight.

Cleo sighs, watching the two boys mess around while making slow progress with materials. She has got some basic cobblestone tools for them, and has some furnaces smelting the bit of food that she could find. Bdubs is chasing a cow with his wooden sword, she really didn't trust a 7 year old with a stone sword just yet. And she knew she would have to teach at least Bdubs to fight.

Scar seems far away and unlike himself. Of course he's a ten year old, so it's expected that he would be different but in a way, he seemed kind of... older? Not physically of course, but he dosent seem as silly, and he seems more scared? Almost? To put it into simple words, he seems pretty traumatized.

He showed up wearing a gray outfit and he had some wings that looked like fairy wings. He seemed kind of sad.

After observing this in the first few minutes, she brought up more lighthearted and funny things to keep the mood from becoming somber.
