Once Jingyan has a house:

“Do you want to help with games and decorations? For the, uh, festival soon. …We might need to get you a trident, too, for one of the games I was making.”

"I'd be happy to assist."

“So the trident course I have mostly set up— I can do it at least half the time, let’s see if I make it this time.”

(It’s a series of small pools of water, rings, small openings, high blocks, etc.; when Ranboo pulls out an enchanted trident, it allows him to fly between them. They’re concrete and brightly colored. The first time he tries, he thwaps into the side of some floating yellow concrete and falls out of the sky back to the ground, but the second time he completes the course.)

...Tridents are very impressive.

"You can try if you want. ...If you steal the trident I will be, I will be very unhappy."

"I don't plan on stealing it from you."

He has a..  much higher rate of face-concrete collisions than Ranboo.

This is expected; Ranboo's been running the course constantly in order to, you know, build it. Ranboo tosses Jingyan some baked potatoes to help with any fall damage he's taking; Ranboo has feather falling on his shoes but Jingyan definitely does not. 

"D'you think it's too hard? I made sure all of it was possible, but the difficulty's kinda tough to get right." 

"Someone with experience should be able to do it."

“Right, okay, yes. Cool. Let me know if you want to go trident hunting sometime? They’re kinda annoying to get but they make getting around way faster. …How about I build the next part of the course and you can fill in creeper holes and uh, put decorations around? I think Eret has some colored wool and I’ve got a snow golem if you think white would be good for anything.” Ranboo starts towering up and builds a little soul sand hoop in the next section. 

The creeper holes get so filled, with a touch of a beginner's attempt at terraforming.

He isn't the best at decorating-- he has little practice, and he doesn't to take too much wool from Eret, but the colours are at least not eye searing.

(Ranboo talks to himself while he works.) “Okay. So this is… this is possible. You start on the water down here in the middle of the blue wool, right, and then go up into the one-block opening in the green concrete, through the soul sand hoop, land in the water, then through the gap in the wool up here—then up and land on the green concrete block—and then you can choose if you want to go to the green or the red block, I’m thinking we have it be like, a question that you have to answer correctly. Ohhh boy I did not make that jump. I just—did not make that jump. Well this is embarrassing. I wonder how Tubbo’s doing, I haven’t seen him in a few hours. I hope the festival helps? I don’t really know how it would but it’s good to, it’s good to be optimistic, right, that’s good. And Jingyan’s helping with the decorations. I don’t really know how I feel about that? I think Jingyan’s cool. Even if he did yell at me that one time. He’s, I dunno, he’s still new, I don’t know him super well, but he’s been cool, I think. I don’t really know him well enough yet to put him in the book, but soon, maybe? I don’t know. He’s fun to build with. Yeah. I can put that in the book. Fun… to… build… with. There. Done. Maybe I should get him a trident for the festival, gifts are always good for helping people like you. Or at least not hate you. Not hate is good, I’ll go for not hating you. Always a good day to not be hated by everyone.” He is DONE with the course but now his trident needs repaired. To the spider farm he goes, still talking to himself. 

Jingyan catches bits and pieces of what Ranboo says. Apparently he is 'cool' and that's a thing someone might say out loud. It's strange-- but being talked about openly in positively is better than the alternative. Good to know that both Ranboos are positively disposed to him?

(He would feel differently if he heard about the plans for Gifts of Non-Hatred, but he doesn't, so he doesn't.)

Once he's finished, he spends the rest of the afternoon running around the countryside, trying to shear enough sheep to replace Eret's wool.

There are plenty of sheep around! (He may also notice red vines that have begun to grow around spawn; they don’t reach L’manburg yet, but they cover Skeppy and BadBoyHalo’s quartz house and have reached the base of Punz’s tower.)

(Ranboo spends the evening strip mining. Tubbo spends the evening getting high alone. Fundy builds a mob farm. Tommy wastes a bunch of Technoblade’s potions and then his pearls by pearling away from the scene of the crime; Ghostbur giggles and watches. Captain Puffy works on her Christmas tree. One by one, they turn in for the night, head to their homes if they have them and to beds under the stars or tucked away in a mine if they don’t.)

Those are new. Though that may be... the colour of vines here?

There are small and thin green vines climbing up the walls near the prime path, but they do not particularly resemble the larger red vines. 

He'll... ask about them, when he gets the chance.

Probably a good idea. 

He doesn't know how to get wool dye, so hopefully Eret does not mind getting white wool.

He goes to bed.

Tubbo's up before Ranboo is, the next morning; he's moving his fox, Squeeks, into L'Manberg. He waves politely at Jingyan but is overall fairly preoccupied with safely transporting Squeeks without letting him kill himself over nearby chicken.

Fair enough. Herding foxes seems to be difficult work.

Is anyone else in L'Manberg up?

Not at first. After a while, Ranboo emerges from his house to place colored wool carpets around. 

He goes up to Ranboo. "I have a question, if you don't mind."

"Oh?"

"The vines on the prime path-- they weren't there in the other version of this place."

"Yeah, they started showing up recently. It's from BadBoyHalo's egg, I think. I just use a hoe and cut them when they're in my way."
