What if... Etho.

Etho got obsessed with Decked out, so obsessed he possessed Tango to get him to start working on it, keep working on it, get it done. Etho's itching to play, as is everyone else, but no one is as much as Etho

Etho doesn't know he's the cause of it. Doesn't know his obsession has possessed Tango. Doesn't know he's the reason for Tango's dishelved looks and sleepless nights spent in the dungeons.

Of course, Tango doesn't know either. It's just the spirit of the game. It's just his own obsession. He just wants to get it done so his friends (they're still his friends right? They haven't forgotten him?) can have a fun little game to play

But when Etho whispered to him in the com, a short "want to come see a faster way to gather deepslate?" Tango felt relieved of his duty for the evening

For the first time in forever

not gonna stop thinking about tango phrasing it in his video that he was given permission to leave decked out. like. you know. given the context that all the hermits seem to be trying to get him out of the hole. who on earth did he need permission from,
