Pearl and Gem glance at each other. Then, as one, they glance back at Tango, who is, evidently, not Tango.
“Do we have an amnesiacold on our hands?” Gem asks. 
“Maybe,” says Pearl, glancing back at Tango again. “Tango, buddy, you feeling alright?”
“I—” Tango opens his mouth. Closes it again. “I mean, I’m a little under the weather, to tell you the truth—I ate a South African sausage and it disagreed with me.”
Pearl hums. “And it’s messed with your memory a bit, right?”
“Yes! I mean, no—I mean, how did you—?”
“Would you say that you have a bit of an amnesiacold, Tango?” asks Gem.
“Amnesiacold?”
“You know. Amnesiacold!” Gem says. “When you get sick and forget everything and feel like somebody else?” 
“Ah.” Tango pulls himself to shore. Frowns. “It’s more of an amnesia-food-poisoning, if I’m honest.”
Pearl winces. “Your poor digestive system.”
“It’s not very nice Pearl, I’ll tell you that much,” Tango says, voice low, one hand pressed against his stomach as he pulls a face.
“Okay, that’s enough, I don’t need to hear about your gut issues,” Gem interrupts. “But—you have an amnesiacold! You know, I was an amnesiacold last season.”
“You mean, you had an amnesiacold?”
“No, I was one.” Gem winks. “Like—Tango has an amnesiacold. But you? You’re the amnesiacold. You know?”
Tango’s shoulders hike up with discomfort. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m Tango. And I think you guys should—should skadoodle somewhere else. Should bother-someone-else-ificate. Begone.” 
“I had an amnesiacold last season, you know,” Pearl says. “Gem was one. You can tell us, buddy, we’re not gonna tell anyone.”
“Promise,” Gem says with a nod. “This is a safe space! You don’t have to pretend to be someone you’re not with us.”
Tango stares at them for a long, long moment, then sags, face falling. He looks exhausted, suddenly, and Pearl feels a rush of sympathy. It can’t be easy, being thrown into the game halfway through, with no context for anything.
“It’s been rough, dudes,” Tango says, voice cracking. “It’s been really really rough. I forgot how hard it was to get anything done on this server! There’s so much chaos, and—”
Wait.
“Ren?”
Not-Tango grins. “In the flesh,” he says with a bow of his head. “Or… not my flesh, exactly.” 
“Ren?” Gem asks, tilting her head in confusion.
“Oh, that’s right, you’ve never met…”
Gem and Ren peer at each other for a moment. “You do look familiar,” Ren says eventually.
“Yeah,” Gem agrees. “I mean, obviously you look familiar—you look like Tango!—but… yeah.” 
They stare at each other for a moment more.
“Maybe we met in a dream?” Ren says at last.
Gem nods. “Sure. Makes as much sense as anything else.”
Pearl glances between them, rocking awkwardly back on her heels. She clears her throat, drawing their attentions back to her. “Welcome back, buddy,” she says to Ren. “Good to see you again.”
“I wish that I could say the same,” Ren says morosely. “I thought I was—I was done, Pearl.” Now that she knows it's Ren, she can hear his cadence in Tango’s voice, voice dropping rough and low with drama as he bows his head. “I was done. No more games, not for the ol’ diggity dog. And now… Here I am!” He laughs a little, stretching out his arms to indicate the server at large. “In a body that’s not mine, in a world I’ve never seen, in a game I do not understand.”
“Oh, Ren…” Pearl frowns. She doesn’t know what to say. 
Gem jumps in. “Hey, it’s okay! It’s just one session, you know? You can do one session!”
“I suppose I must.” Ren looks up at them, jaw tightening. “If I am here—I suppose I must.”
“I’d never been in any of these games before I was Cleo for a bit last season,” Gem says. “So you have an advantage there! And, hey—maybe you can come back next season, and we can meet for real?”
Ren shifts uncomfortably. There’s something heavy hanging about him, something Pearl can’t quite understand. She remembers the last time she’d seen him, skull caved in from the dripstone spike dropped on his head. She remembers her own amnesiacold, the exhaustion that had dragged at her before it had settled in, the memories that had plagued her and just wouldn’t go away. And she wonders—
Just how exhausted would you have to be that your body would have to leave as well as the rest of your self?
Just how sick would you have to be before you didn’t want to come back?
Still, Ren steadies himself. Quirks Tango’s mouth into a smile. “Maybe,” he says, meeting Gem’s gaze. “That would be nice, to meet for real.”

no, you know what, next chapter now! remember this is chapter 3 of this war arc thing so if you didn’t read chapter 2 since i posted it like 5ish hours ago, go read that first. look! here’s some links!
Chap 1   Chap 2
Hey, can you tell I like grian? cause today i’m using Avian!Grian, Watcher!Grian and Triplet!Grian all together. 
Next chapter is gonna be a flashback based loosely on the fic @strawberrylemonz wrote of the triplets in the Antarctic empire.
but for now, have a sprinkling of angst. or maybe more than just a sprinkling.
When Tommy opened his eyes again, he found himself with all the Hermits in the town hall. A few Hermits that were already there like Zedaph brought out potions and food and other items for everyone to recover. Nearby Grian was shaking out the water that got on his wings from the emergency button being used.
“How’re ya doing Big G?” Tommy asked as he walked over, grabbing another mask of his own face from the table.
“Fine, what about you Tommy?���
“Dream kinda saw me right before the button got pressed. But he didn’t get a chance to hit me.” Immediately Grian was acting like a mother hen towards him and Tommy had to push the avian away. “Grian! I’m fine!”
“Are you sure? Because Techno and d- Philza were also there.”
“Yeah, I heard you confronted them.” Tommy softened his voice, noticing the look of pain on Grian’s face.
“Neither of them recognized me. I mean, it makes sense since it’s been so long for me and I look so… different.”
Tommy hugged Grian. He didn’t believe it when he learned that this was his missing older brother, but when Grian used his real name, something he shouldn’t have known, Tommy changed his mind. “Hey, c’mon, once this is all over you can brag about being the oldest now.”
Grian laughed and ruffled Tommy’s hair. “Yeah, and you look as old as Techno did out there.”
“No I don’t, he’s an old fart!” Tommy complained. “I’m still a teen!”
“You’re twenty-one!”
“I’m a child!”
Grian laughed. When Tommy had first shown up, he did everything to seem older than he was, now he refused to admit he’d grown up. “C’mon, let’s just-” He was cut off by a buzzing from their communicators. The two of them looked around and noticed the other hermits were doing the same. Everyone was here, so it couldn’t be a death message.
Xisuma tapped his helmet and everyone saw the glow of him looking at the communications chat. “Iskall, someone named Fundy is saying they’re at your tree.”
The redstoner immediately messed with his robotic eye to look at his own chat. His other eye widened and he equipped his elytra. “I’m going to go after him. I doubt it would be an ambush, there’s no way they could have gotten a whole group there while we were fighting.”
Rendog also put his elytra on. He said he would go with Iskall as some extra muscle just to be safe. The two of them flew off, careful to stay out of range of anyone in Dream’s army before heading toward the Omega Tree.
“Hey, now that they know I’m here, should we use me more as bait?” Tommy spoke up, causing Grian to pull him closer.
“Absolutely not. Any mistake and you could be captured!”
Before Tommy could complain, False spoke up. “Actually, it’s a good plan. You helped him learn to fly so he’s great at it. He’ll have no trouble escaping into the air. And he can also set up another pearl if they do capture him. Someone can watch in the sky and send word if he needs rescue.”
“But what if he-” Grian tried to speak up, but Tommy stopped him.
“Grian, I know these people. It would work. And I know how to get out of tough situations. And I’m not going to be the only one down there. Doesn’t make sense to send me there alone.
Reluctantly, Grian let Tommy go. The blond smiled and then gave his brother one last hug before pulling his mask on and leaving with a group of Hermits. All of them placed ender pearls in the emergency button and then left the town hall through bubble columns. Grian watched them go before following behind to be their eyes in the sky. Cub came with him, his vex wings still there from his earlier confrontation with Dream.
When the Hermits suddenly reappeared, Dream was ready for them. Instead of an axe, he held a sword. Whenever a Hermit got close, he would injure them and then use the long blade to pull off or break their mask. Tommy was going to be there, under one of those masks. And when Dream saw his sorry face next, he would drag the teen back home.
Dream heard a grunt from behind him and glanced back to see Philza with his weapon clashing with a hermit’s sword. Even with the mask, Dream could see the silver hair of said hermit. Dream may not have been familiar with their enemy as much as he wished, but there was one well known name he recognized. Etho. While Philza was a man who had lived years on hardcore, Etho had been living on a single world for longer. Both were very experienced men. 
In his distraction, a hermit attacked Dream. He deflected their attack but in the process managed to hinder his teammate and suddenly Philza was killed. Dream attacked back, and while the Hermit who attacked him got away, Etho did not, having been left on a single heart when Phil died, only being alive from Dream’s mistake.
But he didn’t have time to dwell as more attacks came from the hermits. Once they had defeated these people, he could take over as admin and bring them back.
Philza gasped as he woke up on the bed, energy flowing through him from respawning. It wasn’t something he was used to, and before he almost didn’t link with the bed. When he started to get up, he heard rustling and immediately turned to fight. But no one was there, which was fine as his death had left him with no gear. Phil could hear fighting from outside the building and he quickly looked in the various chests for anything.
Philza ended up breaking part of the building for sticks and made himself a sword with the diamonds they found earlier, even finding more of the gem in chests they hadn’t bothered to check before. It wasn’t enough for a full set of gear, but it was enough. The only problem was trying to put on his chestplate, Phil finally noticed what happened. 
It was impossible. They had been too damaged and the last time he had to respawn, nothing had happened. But there, right on his back were his wings, undamaged. Not a single feather was harmed or scorched or missing. 
A shout from outside drew Philza’s attention back to the battle. He nearly put his wings away to put on his chest plate when he remembered how their enemy had elytra. He was the only one on their side who could fly. Phil stored the chest plate in a nearby barrel for later and left the building through the open roof. None of the hermits seemed to notice him until it was too late and his weapon cut into them. There were one or two of those from the smp who attacked him before realizing who exactly they were seeing, but otherwise, the reappearance of his wings was appreciated.
When Tommy saw his dad in the air, he couldn’t help but stare for a moment. He had told Xisuma about the situation of his dad. At first he thought that Philza had completely lost his wings, which would make sense why a respawn couldn’t help. But since he still had them, the admin was able to set a trigger for the avian’s wings to heal when he respawned. It was a risk that could help Dream, but Tommy hoped that the return of Phil’s wings would help him switch sides.
The sight invigorated Tommy and he was slashing at his old friends left and right. He managed to catch sight of False nearby and Techno fighting so he moved over to assist her. It was perfect timing as False managed to be cornered and Techno proclaimed the kill for the blood god just before Tommy could manage to remove the weapon from his brother’s hand.
“Leave her alone.” Tommy said as Techno glared up at him. He had hit a growth spurt while in hermitcraft and his voice deepened, so Tommy wasn’t surprised that his brother didn’t recognise him. Behind him False got up and ate a gold apple as well as splashing a potion over her own head, a bit of the liquid managing to splash onto Tommy, giving him a few seconds of healing.
But as Tommy stood to cover his head, Dream joined next to Techo and sliced the mask off Tommy’s face. When it fell, Tommy could clearly see the slight surprise on Techno’s face. While the warrior wasn’t that expressive, growing up with him made it easier for Tommy to read his face. Dream on the other hand grinned so large his smile could be seen out the sides of his mask.
Before Tommy could react, his arm was grabbed in a crushing grip from Dream. False in a panic simply yelled Tommy’s name, which ended up bringing the attention of the rest of the SMP members.
False swung her sword at Dream, giving Tommy just enough of a gap to use a firework and launch himself into the air. Dream called for the smp members to focus on Tommy and suddenly arrows were flying at him. With another rocket he flew further into the air. Looking down, Tommy saw an arrow coming towards him. He attempted to dodge, but it clipped his elytra, leaving a small tear in one wing. 
A few more arrows also managed to reach him. When he wasn’t sure he could dodge them, the blond tried to make sure they directly hit him. Tommy had plenty of healing items and had nice armor, but if his elytra were too damaged, no amount of armor would help a fall like that.
Then, the thing he feared most happened. As he flew, rain started to fall. A few moments later there was the sound of a riptide trident being used. He turned to see Punz, having used his trident to get just close enough then he pulled out a crossbow and shot it. There was no time for Tommy to react and it went through one wing of his elytra. As Punz descended, Tommy tried to use fireworks to push him towards the ocean, but in his panic, all he did was push himself further up into the air. And then the elytra gave up on him and Tommy started to fall. 
Philza heard the noise of a trident as the rain started to fall. He looked around in the air just in time to see Punz’s arrow destroy Tommy’s elytra followed by what sounded like Tommy calling for help. While he had trouble getting used to flying again after months of being grounded, Phil immediately flapped his wings as hard and as fast as he could. He refused to lose another child. So he pushed himself to get to Tommy before the worst could happen.
Grian wasn’t sure how he missed Tommy flying into the air, but he didn’t miss his brother screaming his name. He looked down to see Tommy falling, his elytra in shreds. He saw another avian flying towards his fallen brother. Grian knew that he was the only avian of the hermits so this other person had to be working with Dream. 
As Grian pulled his wings in to dive towards Tommy, he realized he wouldn’t be able to make it. Sure there was enough time to reach Tommy before he hit the ground, but not enough before Tommy was grabbed by the other avian. As he continued to fall, Grian closed his eyes. He searched for something he buried deep inside himself. The red, yellow and blue feathers on his wings changed to purple, black and salt & pepper. When he next opened his eyes, there were 6 of them, all glowing a purple color. He opened his wings once more and gave a mighty flap, sending magical energy out through them and creating what sounded like thunder as the expelled energy propelled him faster towards Tommy. 
Just before the other avian could reach his brother, Grian’s arms wrapped around Tommy and the wings wrapped around both of them. He didn’t have enough time to use more energy and teleport them away or slow them down, so he just braced himself. Then they hit the ground, all the force going into Grian’s wings. It was painful, but right now he didn’t care. The adrenalin from nearly losing Tommy was kicking in and the pain made his mind hazy. 
The powers he had gained from being a watcher were dangerous and something he usually kept blocked off so he wouldn’t lose himself in it, but right now, with his current state, he wasn’t thinking of that, and slowly the previously locked away powers grew more dangerous and tempting.
Dream held his breath as Tommy fell. He didn’t want them to have come all this way for Tommy to lose his last life here. Luckily Phil was in the air, racing towards his son. He was sure that the Avian would reach Tommy until there was the sound of thunder and the sky lit up with a purple light. The figure that was lit up made his blood run cold. No. It wasn’t possible. A watcher. And not just any watcher. The Dreamslayer himself was a watcher. In a way it made sense how this would be the one person who seemed to be able to kill him, but knowing the full power he held was not a happy thought.
Dream managed to get his army to retreat just far enough in time that no one ended up in the destruction of Grian crash landing. Everyone stared, no one moved. Even the Hermits looked terrified of their own ally. Phil landed safely and tried to move to the crater, but Dream grabbed him. Techno was the next to move as The wings parted revealing Tommy hidden beneath them. Again, Dream tried to stop him, but Techno was further than Phil had been. While Techno had recently been staying out of things, Dream didn’t want to lose someone who was so good at making his stories perfect.
Techno held out his axe, ready to strike Grian, but the avian watcher just grabbed the blade of the axe. His head looked up and all six eyes focused on the weapon, each of them blinking out of sync. He only stopped looking when Tommy groaned, while he was physically uninjured, the rush of falling and the rapid pressure changes as well as the energy from Grian had caused him to pass out.
Techno pulled his weapon back, unsure if he should strike again. Half of the voices were telling him to attack and kill this person who took his brother, but the other half seemed to actually want him to stop. But the first half was louder and he swung the axe down again. Time seemed to slow down as he saw the supposed avian look back up and smile hauntingly. He resolved himself and cried out, “Blood for the Blood God!” as he put more force into the swing.
The moment the axe blade hit Grian’s skull, it shattered. Around them people started moving. A quick glance let Techno see the Hermits moving the smp army away, trying to protect their enemies. Looking back at his own enemy, Techno was met with Grian standing up. He spoke, but instead of his own voice, Grian spoke in Techno’s voice. He parroted the line the pvper had just spoken, only saying it louder and louder.
“Blood for the Blood God! Blood for the Blood God!!! Blood for the Blood God!!!” And then, in his normal voice, he shouted once more. “BLOOD FOR ME!!!”

okay okay i'm back
so (there is a tldr at the bottom because this is blocky):
s6 was the official debut of grian, but it's also the season when keralis and bdubs return after s2 and s1 respectively! bdubs falls from the sky into keralis' pool (after being trapped in a falling death loop for a week) and keralis... i'm not sure exactly what happens:
so basically what happens in his video: he goes through the portal between seasons 2+3 while slowly dying from fire damage (it cuts when he's at half a heart and still on fire), but then comes out of the half-finished infinity portal (the portal that turns scar into a wizard for s7. hm. continuity?) in s6 in the middle of Area 77. This is not explained. Did he die in the portal and only just now respawn? Did he time skip (because there were apparently multiple time resets in s6. this season terrifies me) and just. miss half a decade of his life? is he, as per scar's and doc's accusations, part alien now? this is not explained. i will come back to this
the enchanting that season is, as far as i can figure out, a very solo thing: in episode 2, pythongb and welsknight build a community enchanting building. i cannot find who made the enchanting table. impulse is running an itrade- just set up villagers and let people trade with them if they paid him a lifetime subscription. he doesn't really deal with the enchanting bit and he gets the key s9 anyway so we're ignoring this.
as far as i can tell, there's nothing focused around enchantments besides the above, so here's the rest of my thoughts:
the last people i'd consider are a) rendog and b)cleo. i'll get to cleo in a second, but ren i'd consider (not strongly tho) because during the prank war before civil war, he sets sail a ghost ship in the bay next to cleo's. he even drags in a ghost captain to sail the ship. also this doesn't really add anything but he was a hippie, and something odd happened in that camp. they had a van cannon.
in my consideration of cleo, it's significantly stronger than ren: s6 is when the armor stands book was added, and cleo creates life. she made an entire pirate ship, and then another ghost one below ground. she sets up a shop where she will create action scenes. she also canonically brings herself back to life (and then dies like,,, 3 episodes later,, but i'm serious. she brings herself back to life, along with a blooming flowers, so that's plant reanimation as well?) during the series, prompting a few episodes with HumanCleo.
tldr: i love the idea of keralis getting,,, something from the portal that somehow skipped over 5 years of his life?? finding the key as a result of the infinity portal of magic would be an interesting concept. i myself am leaning more towards cleo, as she was there at the start of the season and has multiple instances of what the heck how is she doing this. however, i am biased as i am a cleo subscriber so take from this what you will.
~☁️
OOOOO OKAY THAT'S A RLLY HARD CHOICE
Keralis deffo could have gotten it then, esp with the portal connection with Scar. That would make a lot of sense omfg,,,
BUT ALSO CLEOS THING IS SO COOL AND DEFFO MAGICAL AAAA okay I can't choose but it's deffo between those two, I don't rlly see Ren as the enchanting type (only got like, half a clue why, probs something to do with how energetic he seems and I don't think he could actually sit down and be still for long enough to learn-)
Could have been double keys that season because of time shenanigans as well 👀👀👀

Hello Internet, welcome to GAME THEORY!
As you all may know, Grian recently started one giant EVO Reference: Let's make an unsuspecting victim mayor for no reason other than my own amusement.
However, Mumbo isn't actually mayor yet. So that begs the question, if Mumbo doesn't become mayor, who will be?
We can do this pretty easily through process of elimination.
Immediately, we can get rid of Grian as he's the one setting it off. That leaves us with 22 hermits. Next, as much as it pains me to do it. I reckon we can also take anyone with under 300K out. Although I love my smaller-subbed squad, they usually don't end up taking main roles in the server. If anything, I'd say the people who end up taking main roles in the server are DocM, Ren, the Architechs, the Convex and sometimes but not always Tango, Xisuma, Impulse, False, Keralis and Bdubs. So the hermits with under 300K at the time of me writing this and are out are Stress, TFC, XBCrafted, Zedaph and Zombie Cleo. Joe Hills is also in this club but he's got such a good case I have to make an exception for him.
You see, Joe Hills goes about Hermitcraft pretty uniquely. As you may know, Joe Hills has sworn off diamonds for the season due to his belief, 'whenever he carries diamonds, something goes wrong.' This means he can't be bribed with them. It also means he'll probably burn all the diamonds on the podium while I'd personally love to see because it will be funny. Not only this, but he's been trying to keep infrastructure since the very start. He was the first to try and establish roads, so if Joe becomes mayor, the 'places with inconsistent or sometimes no roads,' will hopefully become consistent with their roads. Also, Joe always naturally puts the community before himself. So many of his builds in season 6, (the ministry of truth, the community brewing stand, ect) were community focussed and not personal use only. This pattern continues into season 7 where the first thing he did was set up boats and basic, early game starter loot on the spawn island. A few episodes later and he makes sure the nether portal there is safe from ghasts. Personally, Joe would be my pick. Yes, he's anti-diamonds. But I highly doubt he'll force that economic system on the whole district, right?
But let's backtrack a second. What about that list from earlier? "I'd say the people who end up taking main roles in the server are DocM, Ren, the Architechs, the Convex-" perhaps this could help us find an idea of whom it may be? We can already substitute 'the Architechs' with Mumbo and Iskall as Grian is confirmed to not be doing it. I feel like we may also be able to knock the Convex out too. Scar because he's helping to build the Town Hall and, I mean come on, who would vote for a wizard who sells coloured glass and claims it to give you magic powers? He doesn't even wear pants! I feel like we can also knock Cubfan out too as he's more or less settled into the roll of a newspaper boy with Cleo. That's a big job so his hands are pretty full.
So this leaves us with Mumbo, Iskall, DocM and Ren. As much as I'd love to see DocM become mayor, I feel like the Goatfather may already have his hands full. But Ren on the other hand, would be an interesting case. Remember when he took to doping before a wrestling match? What if that comes back to bite him whole he's mayor and everyone has a revolution? That seems like a Rendog plot to do. Not only that, but he's also used to working in a leadership setting. (Ahem, Bob the accountant.) Speaking of Bob the accountant, perhaps he could get all his alts to 'help him with his mayor duties.' However, he may also have his hands full with dead cow and necromantic magic.
However, I feel like Iskall would also be a good candidate for mayor. Perhaps a 'El Mayore Iskall' plot mark 2? Hermitcraft is no stranger to referencing past seasons, whether it be the return of Concorp, NHO Reunions, Xisuma referencing Logfellas at one point, Tag 2 electric boogaloo, ect. Not only this, but Iskall is also within Grian's inner circle.
'But TomPat! What is 'Grian's inner circle?'" I hear you ask. Grian's inner circle is an unwritten pattern that played out throughout season 6.
Here's what it stated:
"All server wide events have to either be started or won by Grian or someone within his inner circle."
I first saw it noticed by ZloyXP so I give him the credit for this.
Each server wide event in season 6 was either started or won by Grian or a close friend of Grian.
Tag? Started by Grian.
Grian head hunt? Started by Grian.
Prank war? Arguably started by Grian.
Civil War? Won by Grian's team.
Jangler Mystery? Solved by Grian.
Sahara VS Concorp? Won by Architects.
Buildoff? All tied with Grian.
Hermitland? Started by Grian.
Area77 Vs Hippies? Won by Grian and Co.
Demise? Started by Grian, won by someone in the inner circle.
(This is why if you only have time to watch one hermit for season 6, Grian is the safest option. You don't really miss anything.) Thankfully, this seems to be changing for season 7 with The Goatfather arc, Ren's Star Wars arc, The Hermit Wrestling arc, ect.
But who's in the inner circle? It can vary between person to person. But personally, I'd say the people in the inner circle are Grian, (obviously,) Mumbo and Iskall for Season 6 with Scar joining for Season 7. And this is why I'd say Mumbo or Iskall have the best chance of winning.
I'd say Iskall has the better chance of winning. I have no evidence why, it's just a hunch.
But that's just a theory, a GAME THEORY.
