There's this fic idea I've had where Etho feels wrongfully accused for the hermits losing their stuff and I started drafting some months ago, then put it on the side-projects-hiatus-pile and, well. False is now the second person that has lost a shulker in Etho's tree farm, so that makes for a way better reason for people blaming him for their troubles, especially since this plays in season 11. The fact that he could theoretically keep/hide the shulkers actually makes it kinda perfect for the fic. So, that means that I can scrap the one bit that I've drafted so far and I'm sad.
Tango: So um, Etho, have you considered terraforming your base at all?
Etho: I have considered it…
Tango: Uh-huh…?
Etho: It’s not something that’s very high on the priority list right now…
Tango: Ah-ha. Just ‘cause, you know, I tried out your parkours the other day and—
Etho: It was pretty good, right?
Tango: It was, except when I fell, and my bits went splat.
Etho: That does tend to happen when you keep your inventory on a parkours.
Tango: Yeah, and I mean, usually, you then go and pick up the bits—
Etho: Uh-huh.
Tango: —except when you fell from super high altitude, and your stuff splattered literally everywhere. And when there’s trees, and holes, and cowherds, and cliffs, it’s not that easy to find everything.
Gem: What did you lose, Tango?
Tango: My elytra went missing, and a couple of building blocks.
Etho: Uuuh...
Tango: I did have a backup, but I’m just saying—
Gem: See, I could totally see that happen to other hermits too, and they don’t have a full shulker of elytra in their ender chest.
Etho: Hangh. I mean, when you get ready to parkours, you sorta know what you’re in for, and there is a sign and a chest at the beginning…
xB, in chat: scar lost some stacks of moss the other day too
Etho: In my game?
Gem: Hermits can’t read, Etho!
xB: on the parkours
Tango: Gotta make those minigames hermitproof!
Etho, high-pitched and complaining: You know how much time that’s gonna take to terraform the whole base?
Tango: I mean, are you asking me if I know anything about terraforming?
Gem: Yeah, I think Tango’s the wrong person to complain to about that.
(defeated Etho noises)
