=> Be Mumbo
Mumbo: Good Lord that explosion went off right in my ear
Mumbo: Oh this is dire! I can't believe I'm the first one out and-
Mumbo: and uh
Mumbo: this
Mumbo: this isn't spawn
Mumbo: !!!
====================================================
Be not afraid,
Before you stands a decision.
With your soulmate, a bond has been made
Shall you forsake them? Will you betray?
Say yes, you cast them away
But if your mate does the same
Down to crimson, both without delay
No more kinship from this day
Say no and love them still
Pray they commit to you as well
Then in yellow both will chill
Together forever, as you will
And if you both do disagree
Best pray you were the one to leave
For the yes will remain in green
The other cast red, the bond broken between
====================================================
Mumbo: i
Mumbo: wait
Mumbo: I'll go down to red if my soulmate breaks up with me??
Mumbo: Oh this is bad! Of course they'd want to, I just caused our death!
Mumbo: Who even is my soulmate? Why doesn't the chat load in this place??
Mumbo: Oh no oh no what do I DO
====================================================Your soulmate has made their choice.
What will yours be?
====================================================
================================================
SURPRISE! Additional gimmick!
(credit for the kickass poem goes to @findingschmomo THANK YOU SO MUCH BABE)
To clarify, both soulmates are presented with this choice upon first death, but here we will only get to make the choice for Mumbo.
This functions pretty much exactly like Prisoners' Dilemma. If both Mumbo and Skizz choose to preserve the bond, they will go down to yellow and the game will proceed as normal. If only one of them choses to break the bond, then this person will go back to being green, but the other will go down to red. If both choose to break the bond, then they will both go down to red. And if one or both break the bond, then they will no longer be soulmates - hearts and lives no longer linked.
Hopefully this explanation is clear enough - if not please do send in questions!
And if you're seeing this after the voting is finished - don't worry, there will be 9 more opportunities in the future to influence soulmates' destiny like this

reasons why there were 8 seats at the magic mountain meeting when there are only 7 mountaineers:
they have a secret 8th member (bdoubleo)
it’s for lizzie ldshadowlady who is probably a goddess in this season. joel’s goddess.
to save a spot for jesus
the snails all share one seat
grumbot is returning
it’s big ron’s seat but the snails have him tied up in the basement
it was willy’s seat but he’s dead now
the ghost of boatem past
something lives in the mountain

Cult opportunity on hermitcraft. I repeat CULT OPPORTUNITY ON HERMITCRAFT.
Magic Mountain is making their mountain into a volcano and Scar wants to sacrifice people to the volcano gods. Also Joel still has a sign on one of his bases that says 'future cult here' soooo like new cult?????

He's missing his wet cat husband more and more in his episode but at least he's asked the rest of the magic mountain members to leave some diamonds for him when he gets back online.
(Clear up edit: I'm only talking about the C! Not the CC! Counterparts)

For the elytra thing, how about a bloody net-winged beetle? They’ve got some really interesting designs on their wings, not to mention the incredible colors!
you can’t fool me. that’s clearly a bell pepper

thinking about how the magic mountain volcano adds to the lore of some of the surrounding bases:
the cyberpunk city is flat because it was placed on top of a dead city, one covered by ash and pumice. remnants of the lost city can be found in the metro beneath, weaving through what used to be ancient roads, tunnels winding through what what’s left of old buildings and homes and people.
a village is built into the side of the mountain because the soil is rich and fertile from mineral deposits, and the heat within can be harnessed to power buildings. temples are constructed for gods past and present, gods who live amongst the fire and magma and gods who rose from the sea, all seeking worship.
the tiny fishing town below is shadowed by a huge skull carved into the side of the mountain. is it what remains of gods long passed? of a battle between the earth and the sea? or did it form naturally, coincidentally, carved out by erosion and eruptions until it became a symbol worthy of creating religions over? inside the skull rainwater collects and forms a bubbling hot spring, water leaking over the side through one of the eye sockets after particularly heavy storms.
entrances to the inside of the mountain are littered around the base of it. some seem like entrances to underground shrines, perhaps where animals (or people) were sacrificed to whoever lives below. others appear as gateways through the mountain and beyond. the largest ones, having transported huge vehicles, appear to have fallen into disuse, while naturally formed paths lead into the smaller ones. heat emanates from the openings, warning of danger ahead, but those who know the mountain well have learned to traverse the depths within safely.
everyone lives there knowing the volcano barely lies dormant. one day it will erupt again. one day their world will end. but for now, it simmers and waits.
