There were a lot of residents of Castle Creeperguarde that complained about how irritating it was to be forced awake by the incredibly loud brass gong, but Isaac was one of those few who awoke with a smile upon hearing it. To him, it was a sign that the castle still stood and that no massive, destructive Creeper explosions had startled him awake in the middle of the night, so it was a blessing to hear.<br/><br/>Sitting up from his bed, Isaac took a quick look around at the others in his barracks, mostly miners since their living space was one of the ones closest to the castle mineshaft entry. While the others were still struggling to force himself awake, he climbed upstairs to the storage area and started to grab his supplies, realizing as he slipped on his filthy leather gear that he would probably have to take the time to wash it tonight. Being in the mine all day was unsanitary enough without having to bring it all back on your clothes.<br/><br/>Once he had his gear on and his stone pickaxe and sword hooked onto his belt Isaac stepped outside to wait for Dominic to show up and give them all the cue to head underground. It looked like it would be a sunny day, which was a good sign, since it meant less chance of overflowing groundwater. It wasn't exactly the most peaceful life in the world, but he and the others who remained of the original Five Hundred had carved out a small society in this terrifying world, and he would continue doing his part to help maintain it.
