Gritnoise! Today I, Gritner’s Anton, went out for hotpot brunch with my friends, Roesjad’s Wonbin, Edurne’s Wonbin, Caintje’s Wonbin, Sveic’s Anton, Walst’s Wonbin, Rocheveil’s Wonbin, and Scythe’s Anton & Sohee. We didn’t plan much, just followed hunger and ended up around a table that slowly filled with steam, noise, and comfort. The broth kept bubbling, my phone stayed face down, and everyone talked over each other like we always do.

Edurne’s Wonbin was halfway through telling a story when Sveic’s Anton accidentally spilled the sauce, everywhere. For a split second there was silence, then chaos. Roesjad’s Wonbin grabbed tissues, I laughed too loud, Caintje’s Wonbin tried to save the table, Rocheveil’s Wonbin wouldn’t stop teasing, Scythe’s Anton just smiled, Scythe’s Sohee made it worse with jokes, and Walst’s Wonbin kept saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay,” while laughing anyway.

Nothing big happened, really. Just food, laughter, and time slowing down. And somehow, that was everything.

What was supposed to be a cozy sleepover at Mistlesoir’s quickly turned into a high-stakes battle when an uninvited Minecraft spider crashed the party. Mistlesoir’s Koko took charge, armed with a baseball bat and screaming for the pixelated pest to "Get out of my house!" While Sveic’s Wonhee provided tactical coaching from the sidelines through her glasses, Caelthwynn’s Saebi watched the living room transform into a chaotic arena of pure disbelief.

​The tension peaked when Koko finally landed a hit, only for the trio to realize the nightmare was just beginning: the spider didn't die, it gave birth to a swarm of mini-spiders. The sleepover dissolved into frantic screams as the girls realized they were officially outnumbered. It’s safe to say that for their next hangout, the girls might pick a house a little less prone to 8-bit arachnid invasions.
