Scar Had To Decide Whether Or Not He Should Talk About... The Thing. The Sea Monster? To Call Of That

Scar had to decide whether or not he should talk about... The thing. The sea monster? To call of that seemed nearly insulting. Something so beyond words and beyond description would hardly fit the title of "sea monster." It was something else, something that could not-- would not-- be defined by such a childish phrase. But was there anyone who could give it an appropriate title?

Scar got up from his bed and thought. He lifted himself into the air with his elytra and glided away from the happy Scar Land. He came to the ledge of Mumbo's base and looked up at the enomous structure he built in between Buttercup shananigains. Mumbo saw him from above and glided down.

"You're pretty darn smart," Scar began after their greetings, "what might you call something that exceeds description."

"Well," Mumbo started, fumbling with black stone in his hands, "ineffible means too great to be expressed."

"I need a name for it."

"A name for what?"

Scar's cover that he had no desire to keep was gone. "I saw it in the ocean. Where the bottom should be, something killed me. Well, I drown, but it dragged me down."

"What did it look like?"

"That's the thing... You just can't describe something like that, at least not in a timely manner."

"The Amorphous Ineffeble."

Scar's eyes lit up with Mumbo's words. "The Amorphous Ineffable..." He repeated. While putting a name on it discomforted Scar, what was more suiting of an idenification that could not-- would not-- identify it.

"Have you told Grian there's something down there?"

"Not yet. I hesitated to tell anyone. What if they didn't believe me?"

"Let's tell Grian; he'll believe us."

Scar and Grian walked across the bridge to the stone castle of Grian's base. Scar furrowed his brows and atuck his hands in his pockets. What if his experience was a blip? What if The Amorphous Ineffable wasn't around any longer than it had been? Was it a fleeting beast that only existed in that space and time when Scar was unlucky-- lucky-- enough to witness.

No matter, Grian would be thrilled by the prospect of something new under the blue-green waves and salty sea foam.

Part 3

Doc knelt down on the sand and looked at the water. Without the largest of waves of the open ocean, Doc could see better. The edge of the water wasn't even with the level of the sand. It looked as if there was glass holding the water in, but there was nothing there. He took out a calliper and wrote down the measurements, barely perceivable, yet more than yesterday.

The anomaly of the ocean was only getting weirder. At first, Grian described it as a almost black blue-green. Scar had seen the same thing. But here, at sea level, Doc would swear it was red. When the light hit the ridges of water, it looked like blood.

But it was just water.

Doc took a sample just in case and put it in his back pack with the rest of his information. He stood up and lifted the bag around his shoulders. The ocean looked normal when Doc gazed across the horizon.

Why didn't Scar or Grian want to tell anyone?

The question popped into his head with out warning. He stayed looking at the ocean to find the answer. He didn't want to tell anyone either. This thing that they stumbled across was... Indescribable. Well, it was the ocean, but it wasn't just that; it was an ocean that had never called for a single thought, never required a pair of eyes on it, and whatever caused it to sink further down and grow to immeasurable depths was never caught or seen, and it didn't need to be. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, it still makes a sound. This... This ocean, Doc hesitated to even lable it that, didn't need him to witness it growing everyday, it didn't need Grian to search for the bottom or Scar to see The Amorphous Ineffable... It didn't need spectators and it won't ever. Doc's presence, his measurements, and readings... Won't effect this... They won't effect it.

Whatever it was that Doc, Scar, and Grian were afraid of was going to stay quiet yet. There weren't words for it yet, but maybe tomorrow there would be

Part 5

This is a page I made for The Infinite Ocean AU to consolidate all of the parts, though they will still be posted here. Hope you guys enjoy this fic!

This is the Page for The Infinite Ocean AU, a Hermitcraft Fanfic about the ocean, as you can guess. It's a small horror series about the unknown.

Guys, bad news... Grian didn't disappear in 2013... Not in real Evo... not even in this fic...

What working on a "normal" HC fic looks like!

...

I just realized posting this that, while five years fits nicely between 13 and 18, five years does NOT fit in between 17 and 18, meaning the timeline is not at all as it is in real life except...

Bro nvm all of that, cause-- NO IM RIGHT. TIMELINES GONE.

Wrong again, five years fits between 2013 and 2018. I'm gonna stop asking questions now. It's done, we're done.

Hermit's Hollow Masterpost

What is Hermit's Hollow?

Hermit's Hollow is a mysterious small town AU centered around the titular town of Hermit's Hollow. It's is heavily inspired by works such as Twin Peaks, Welcome to Nightvale, TAZ: Amnesty, Gravity Falls, and other similar media. The story, while not always in chronological order, is told through transcripts, recovered photographs, journal entries, and -- occasionally -- strange puzzles strewn about. Basically, there's weird things in the trees, the town may be almost be literally alive, and the weirdest thing at the local tourist trap is its owner.

What's the story?

Grian is a former journalist with a tarnished reputation. With nothing else left to lose, he accepts an invitation from his sister to start anew in the sleepy mountainside town of Hermit's Hollow. What appears to be a peaceful escape quickly reveals itself to be far more, however, as soon Grian is embroiled in the mystery of a missing scientist, a charming tourist trap owner, and a town that's far more than it seems. Now, armed with only a Polaroid camera and his intuition, he's determined to uncover the town's secrets -- for better or for worse.
