Like, okay, imagine for a second you're a citizen in L'Manburg after the Doomsday Trio announces that they're razing L'Manburg to the ground.
Not only are you literally told that they are going to destroy the city, while your government appears to have fucked off again to go prep elsewhere without giving you much direction for what to do, but this is something that happened before. The difference is when Wilbur Soot blew up the city and killed thousands of people, he called people to a festival first. People had absolutely no warning. He did it intentionally. You're glad that guy's gone. At least this time you have a warning.
Honestly, you can't say you didn't expect this. Your government tried to hold some sort of public execution for this guy, and his friend was being kept under house arrest. Neither of them got a trial. You never spoke out because you were worried the same might happen to you.
You start thinking about how you never hear about this shit happens in the Badlands. You've been told you've got at least a month, so you start packing. There's lots of places to go. Maybe you'll move to the Badlands, or maybe just back to the SMP. You've got more then enough time.
Then one day, you walk out and see a masked figure over the city and building something. Oh no. They lied about the amount of time you had. You assume the fight is about to start.
But it appears your government still isn't here, and after a few tense hours of watching Dream very slowly build, you come to the conclusion that he's just preparing. A few braver people approach and speak to him, confirming what you suspected. Citizens still have plenty of time to leave, he's just getting ready. He's even helpful enough to outline the area they plan to destroy. Apparently even Manifoldland next door is safe, although nobody wants to live there.
You think you see a few people offering Dream extra gunpowder or obsidian. People who were sick and tired of the government's constant propaganda and refusal to hold themselves accountable for anything. You don't know if you can blame them. Rumors circulate of a place up north for those sick and tired of governments.
For the next week and a half, anyone who walks outside can see the clearly forming grid and TNT machines. People who were in denial sigh and decide that maybe they will move after all. Honestly, this city has never really been a great place to live. It was kind of a stupid concept to begin with. You've decided to move to the main SMP and go from there. You leave with a group, you all built houses out in the SMP, and with the ample time you've had, you've been able to help move any pets, farm animals, and most of the important resources out of the city. Some people got a herd of horses together and are helping people move out. You'd say that you'd miss your house, but you brought most of it's materials with you.
Another month goes by, more people filter out. A few weeks later, that's when the first explosions actually happen. After a shouting match of some kind. There's withers running around, but that's not your problem. A few hours later, the city is dead.
No, no, that's not quite right. The city died well before that. It's been dying ever since it's creator murdered thousands then died himself. This was just burning it's corpse.
You go to see the ruins a week later. You knew people that died to Wilbur Soot. None of your friends died in the city this time. They still live next to you. Just in a new place. It's an adjustment, but you think that maybe it was for the best this time. Maybe it was never meant to be.

I was thinking about some funny Hermitcraft/Empires citizen memes that could happen now with the crossover but then I thought about the Dream SMP refugees sending messages to their family and friends that stayed in the Dream SMP, telling them about how cool it is that they are on Empires and suddenly people from Hermitcraft came over and they're having a lot of fun! Some folks that hadn't seen eachother since they were on the Dream SMP have met again and catched up so maybe with portals to new realities opening they could have one to the Dream SMP and easily meet with the people they miss so much that are still there!
And they send the message.
…There's no reply.

PRAUST, local rancher in the world’s snowiest desert
They’re here to raise horses and gamble away all their money- and Definitely Not Steal It All Back In The Night What No
Sometimes a guy puts you in prison and then months later invites you to join his country with the promise of gambling, what are you gonna do, say no?

(It is completed. Wilt belongs to @p0psycle)
Quackity, rushing into Wilts office: Wilt, is it normal for a person to just spontaneously become a child again?
Wilt: Huh? No why are you asking me this.
Quackity: Calypso come inside.
*Calypso walks in*
Quackity: *gestures to her wildly* SHE’S A CHILD!
