WORLD -1

[monoguests]

[...huh, didn’t you die? Well, maybe you didn’t. You might wake up feeling like you just woke up from a really vivid nightmare that you can still sort of feel the effects of or something… sure, you’re still in your old cabin, but maybe you can go out and see everyone?

...except when you go out, while it seems like the same old camp, things are a little… strange and pixelated. Also, the walls seem to have come down, but if you try to cross the barriers of where the walls were, you’ll find yourself right back at your cabin door.

Welcome to World -1, kids. You’re probably going to be here a while… and you may not actually be alone, either.]

[OOC: Welcome to the wonderful world of post-death sidequesting! "Sidequesting," you may ask? Well... you'll get an explanation soon enough.]

[The sudden transformation caught him by surprise. If it had been any other place, such as being alive and in the camp, he'd celebrate having been right all along. Callie, you're not human!

But this didn't even cross his mind and it wouldn't for a long while. He was way too distraught by the fact she was here]

Callie! Callie...

I hoped you wouldn' ever be here...

[Distraught or not he's going to take her into a hug, his eyes watering. He did try to be emotionally prepared in case one of his friends arrived but all that preparation didn't matter]

...Can't believe somethin' would happen to you..

[squidsisterpink]

[Yes hugs, those are good. She is very worked up right now, since she was literally just being murdered and all.]

It's all that stupid Betrayus' fault! He tried to kill me!

[He DID kill her, actually.]

The next time I see him, I'm punching his face in!

[willpunchyouout]

[Mac struggled to not to drop Callie. He didn't dare to tell Callie Betrayus didn't merely try, he succeeded. Still, he trusted she'd realize she was hugging a dead person and as such would soon know she was dead herself]

He won' get away with that. I'm sure he'll get what he deserves.

But so you know I'm definitely tellin' you if I see him! I myself now want to break his jaw.

[Mac lets Callie go. If she just arrived then she should be able to tell him stuff, right?]

How is everybody else? Are they okay? Is the bear givin' them a hard time?

[squidsisterpink]

[When Mac lets go, Callie will let go too, and just stand near him.]

Ashley has been really upset this whole time. Everyone else, they're putting up a brave front, but I can tell what happened with you and Pittoo really upset them. That's why I tried singing for everyone-

[She stops suddenly, as she realizes just who she's talking to.]

W-wait, how are you here? You're DEAD! Oh cod, am I hallucinating now?

[willpunchyouout]

Your concert! I'm sorry I couldn' be there, I'm sure you did a great job there.

[Mac had hoped she wouldn't ask him directly. How do you tell somebody they're dead, really? Specially somebody you don't want to see hurting?

Mac sheepishly plays with the knots of the bedsheet toga]

Eeeeh...no, you're not hallucinating...I...um...

[squidsisterpink]

But...if you're dead, and you're right here, then that means...

[She died.

After staring at Mac for one horrifying moment, she reaches up to feel for any marks on her face. Since Betrayus kind of killed her by stabbing her in the face with a pen and all.]

[willpunchyouout]

[Oh God, this must be horrifying for her]

Y-Yeah...I, um, I'm sorry this...happened, Callie.

I don' know if this helps but...we're not dead dead, I think. This is more like a limbo or somethin' like that.

[Don't say something you're not sure about, Mac]

[squidsisterpink]

...

Limbo stopped being cool about 20 years ago.

[No Callie he didn't mean the dance move.]

[willpunchyouout]

[Well that was one heck of a non-sequitur. Mac stares at Callie for a moment, the line having flown over his head]

Yeah, cool or not that's where we are.

Besides it got much cooler now that you're here. You have no idea how borin' this place can be. The angel kid is nice and all but spendin' an eternity with him isn' my idea of fun.

There's also that announcer guy and the...[How do you describe that goomba?]...the walking mushroom but I haven' really spent a lot of time with them.

[squidsisterpink]

[Announcer guy? Mushroom?]

Mac, are you sure you didn't- well, I guess you DID hit your head, but you know how weird a 'walking mushroom' sounds, right?

[willpunchyouout]

'ey, my head is fine!

...but you're right, it sounds weird. Maybe a walkin' chestnut would be more fittin'...? Look, you have to see him to understand what I mean!

[squidsisterpink]

Is he around? We can go look for him.

[willpunchyouout]

I don' know where he spends his days but it's worth a try. We're all in the same situation, better get everybody up to date.

[And so they may be walking around the camp. Mac is hollering around loudly]

Goombriel! Goombriel, come here and greet a friend of mine!

[shslmooks]

[SPEAK OF GOOMBRIEL AND HE APPEARS.]

Oh, uh, hey. How's it...

[...]

...uh, you're new...

[...PLEASE TELL HIM THIS ONE KNOWS SHE'S DEAD...]

[squidsisterpink]

Oh wow, you really are a mushroom!

[Sorry Goombriel Callie is in ur space now, trying to see how you are even real.]

[willpunchyouout]

C-Callie, that was kin' of rude!

[Don't be an hypocrite, Mac, you were saying he was a mushroom]

[shslmooks]

Uh... no, no, it's the Toads that are mushrooms. i'm a Goomba, actually...

[...he doesn't seem affronted, but he really seems like the sort of guy who'd never really mention it...]

[squidsisterpink]

[WAVING MAC off it's okay the little mushroom was not offended.]

Right, a goomba.

But what are you even doing here? I thought only that bear and the campers could be here.
