Lifesteal season 5.

It was a nice, calm, warm day on the Lifesteal SMP. Ashswag, Spoke, and Zam had arranged a ceasefire week, so tensions were slightly lowered.

Squiddo, Clown, and Kaboodle were chatting. Er, Squiddo was chatting. Kaboodle was listening intently, her rabbit ears flicking every once in a while. And Clown? Of course nobody could see behind that jester mask he wore, but... Well, he seemed focused on something.

Next thing Kaboodle knew, Clown had snuck around behind Squiddo. He snatched her sunglasses and went back around, looking at the lenses.

Kaboodle completely froze at the sight of Squiddo's... Eyes? They were completely white and seemed to be glowing slightly. Their pupils and irises either didn't exist or were pure white. Most likely the latter.

Clown looked back up to Squiddo, who didn't seem to notice the change in the light hitting her corneas before awkwardly trailing off and glaring(?) at Clown.

Conversation stilled between the three of them, an unimpressed Squiddo and a (seemingly; again, nobody knew what was behind that mask) surprised Clown caught in something akin to a staring contest.

Squiddo stepped towards Clown and nabbed their precious sunglasses back, placing them back upon the bridge of her nose.

Squiddo started back up their rambling, deciding to move on from the previous fact.
