Summary
Things had changed, after 3rd Life, or maybe during it. Before he’d turned red, the deals Scar had tried to strike had done nothing, had almost no effect on anyone except those who were too kind or gullible, or both.
And then, as death struck him again, he’d come, eyes and teeth gleaming like blood, and suddenly, suddenly no one could say no.
// An introspective on Bdubs' and Scar' relationship in Last Life.

Summary
“Jimmy,” Xornoth said, quietly, a dangerous edge to his voice, pretending at calm. “Turn around.”
“No.”
Xornoth growled, and Jimmy had to stifle a squeak, terrified. “Jimmy,” he rumbled, all pretenses at civility gone. “Turn. Around.”
And so Jimmy did.
“Xornoth,” Jimmy said, finding his voice. “I think you might be taking the phrase ‘evil never sleeps’ a bit too seriously.”
// Jimmy accidentally set Xornoth free. Xornoth is grateful, then curious, and then -- something else.

Summary
Scar opens the chest, flicks through what is left of his items. He looks up at Grian. “Your contract isn’t here.” It is not a question.
Grian nods. “It was burned in the lava. But that doesn’t annul it, does it?”
Scar smiles bitterly. “Do you want it to?” (Scar is dangerous. Scar is helpless.)
He swallows. “I don’t know what I want.”
It is not a yes, but it is answer enough.
// In which Grian returns Scar's items, Scar is red again, and they are both left to deal with the consequences.

Summary
martyn is the god of travelers, of trickery, of wanderers, of people without homes. it is fitting, he thinks bitterly, that he never got one himself, that he was never tied down to one place, for even in the nothingness of the void, he was always falling, moving, never still, never stopping, never getting a place to stop, to breathe.
martyn is a god, and he bows to no one.
// or, in which martyn is a homeless god and then he meets ren

Summary
Grian frowned at him, forehead wrinkling. “You’re a madman,” he said flatly after a moment of silence.
“Well, of course you would think that,” Scar said dismissively. “You’re not from this planet, so of course you’d think I’m strange.”
“For the last time, I’m not an alien,” Grian said exasperatedly.
// Or, in which Grian is a red life that escaped to Hermitcraft, and Scar is pretty sure he's a creature from another planet bent on world domination.

So here's the thing. Mumbo can occasionally make decisions without... thinking them through. And maybe, someone, not him, but someone, would say that setting up right in front of The Alchemist's base was not a decision he thought through.

Summary
Grian stares at him for a long moment. Steps back, then says, “Hit me.”
“What?” Scar says again, wrongfooted.
“I need to test out the arm. Hit me.” Grian gestures, miming a fist into the air as if Scar might not know what a punch looks like.
“Can’t I just—hit something else?”
“Nothing else to hit. Go on, I need to test my handiwork.”
Scar laughs nervously, high-pitched. “Grian—”
“Come on!” Grian almost snarls, eyes fixed on him, empty and black. The flickering green fluorescents cast a strange sheen over his face, makes him look washed out and not quite real. “Hit me! I’ll be fine.”
// Or, in which Scar is a cyborg whose arm is damaged and Grian is the mechanic who owes him. Or perhaps the other way around.

Ding .
YOU HAVE BEEN PAIRED WITH SCAR GOODTIMES.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
He looked to his far left, to where a tall, broad man with green eyes and brown hair stood in the center of the line, staring at his communicator, blinking. He looked up. “Which one of you is Grain?” he asked.
Grian’s eye twitched. “Grian,” he said, stepping forward. “It’s Grian.”
// or, the 3rd Life Love Island au. But if you get voted out, you die. It's just that none of them know that yet -- except for Grian.

Summary
Joel was always the Plan B. If he was Plan B, what did that make Scar? Certainly not Plan A. Not even close to Plan Z. The final resort, the nuclear option.
His nuclear option was currently shoving gunpowder down a tube of bamboo. Grian squinted down at him, fingers stained with black powder. Scar glanced up and caught Grian staring too intently at him. He smiled, displaying a chipped canine. Grian smiled awkwardly back.
(Grian visits Scar, after the events of session 6. Things are said and things are left unsaid.)
