[ 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.

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

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

[...well.

crap.]

...So it's like this.

[such lineface, very try not to freak out]

[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.)]

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

You okay there, dude?

[WE ARE EXPERT ROLEPLAYERS. COMPLETE PROFESSIONALS.]

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

[Why are we floating]

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

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

Bu- wha- is this normal?? I thought...I thought Wisps came back...when they...

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

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

I'm pretty sure this isn't normal, no. But I think it's part of something that's happened before.

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...

What- what do you mean? Part of what?

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

What were you expecting?

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

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

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

Apparently this Echo likes to do a thing where she kills a bunch of us in one game and then runs another one that our teams have to play in order to revive us.

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

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

[He shrugs.]

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

No, they always bring us back. Eventually.

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

[sorry, he overheard]

...so you died outside the game?

...what?!? She- how can she do that?? That is completely unfair! I thought we would just come back, so I...

I see. This is my first time experiencing death.

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

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