[ For the dead, you are not revived - not at all.

Instead you hover as ghosts, formless and touch-less, in a dark cave - or just a hole? There's no exits, there's nothing but the other dead for company.

Welcome to your revival waiting room. ]

[Well being formless is actually Church's natural state of being so he's... more comfortable with this than being in a body...]

Huh. Not what I was expecting.

[secretofthefox]

Me neither. I didn't think she was one to repeat things.

[he doesn't look as okay with this as he had been...]

[imaghostmotherfucker]

Well, I mean. I was told about the whole maze thing. Nobody said anything about ghosts.

[secretofthefox]

What else would happen to us if she wasn't gonna revive us right away?

[don't panic, maybe she's doing something else...]

[imaghostmotherfucker]

[He shrugs.]

I thought we'd just be, you know. Dead for real.

[stolenmoonlight]

[Just standing there like it's No Big Deal.]

What were you expecting?

[imaghostmotherfucker]

Uh, I dunno. Being dead? More dead, I mean.

[He wasn't expecting to see her here, either.]

[stolenmoonlight]

I see. This is my first time experiencing death.

[All monotone and nonchalant. Honestly, it's not that great.]

[imaghostmotherfucker]

Sorry you had to experience it at all. It's not the greatest.

[radioactivesharpei]

... Oh well... Shit...

Fuck... Huh. Maybe shoulda thought that... Through a bit more...

[squeakofthedevil]

What...what happened? What is this place?

[radioactivesharpei]

You all died by being self-sacrificial little jerks. I shot where she disappeared and got nommed by some prehistoric Jaws without the fin.

[There's a beat]

After this all sets in I'm going to have some serious issues to sort through...

[squeakofthedevil]

...you got what by what...?

[radioactivesharpei]

Giant dino crocodile ate me. I mean, in hindsight I guess I deserved it but I definitely did not deserve it. Just shoulda seen it coming. And I didn't. Which makes me stupid, but it was still kinda worth it. Not worth dying entirely, but still kinda worth it.

[Le SHRUG]

[secretofthefox]

[sorry, he overheard]

...so you died outside the game?

[radioactivesharpei]

Yes. Because I'm incredibly impulsive. To an insane level, apparently.

[And he didn't think he'd straight up stay dead.]

[secretofthefox]

[...well.

crap.]

...So it's like this.

[such lineface, very try not to freak out]

[squeakofthedevil]

[Pavo immediately retches, which does absolutely nothing since ghosts can't barf, so he has to take a minute to just pull himself together. Then he takes a look around at his fellow ghosts, eyes scanning desperately to see if-

Star. Star's not here. There are no Epona players here. Everything else is shit but at least he has that. He exhales shakily.

(Exhale? Can a ghost exhale? His body tries anyway.)]

[imaghostmotherfucker]

[did we just delete our comments at the same time wow]

You okay there, dude?

[squeakofthedevil]

[WE ARE EXPERT ROLEPLAYERS. COMPLETE PROFESSIONALS.]

What is- where are we? What is going on?

[Why are we floating]

[imaghostmotherfucker]

Well, I'm guessing you died too, so. That would make us ghosts.

[virtualmemoreyes]

[Staring at her hands in a shocked horror, not yet acknowledging that there's anyone else here, that hurt that hurt that hurt]

[imaghostmotherfucker]

...Hey, Bellbird. Are you okay?

[virtualmemoreyes]

-Oh! Hey, haha, you too huh? Jeez, what a dumb game.

[imaghostmotherfucker]

[oh is this what we're doing now okay]

Yeah, it is. Dumb as fuck.
