I am now dead.

[Milksweet]

They are making me sit. Sitting in front of death itself and I'm still going with the stupid inside narration thing. Stripped clean of clothes until all that's left is enough to retain what's left of my dilapidated dignity. Yes, death can't come fast enough. And here it comes. An-Wait. Why am I flying? Why can't I scream? Is this death? Is th-Oh. That's my body. Falling. Without it's head. Oh. And here comes the pain. There's so much blood. And I'm still narrating. The pain is going away. And here comes the fabled DMT. Let's sleep. Yeah, lets.



I am now dead.


What should I do?

[~|CptPorkins|~]

Ponder why it is you're flying.
Or why you were killed in the first place.
Either Or.

[Milksweet]

Ponder why it is you're flying.
Or why you were killed in the first place.
Either Or.

I was decapitated. My head was flying.


And that... is an excellent question. Which will lead to a lot more embarrassing and excellent questions. Let's just say thievery is punished harshly when you try to steal from a King.

[~|CptPorkins|~]

Ah.
Waking up seems like a good idea.
Or trying to does.

[Milksweet]

Ah.
Waking up seems like a good idea.
Or trying to does.

Opening my eyes is quite strangely easy. There's something ethereal about my muscles. It's like they no longer exist. It's all very black, but reality slowly settles in.

Why am I in my room? Did I just wake up? Was it all a dream? I can feel my head attached naturally to my neck. It must have been a dream. My computer makes it's usual sound, and I am suddenly aware of how difficult it is not to notice that this is all too strangely familiar.

[Whimbrel]

Turn around, pinch yourself, examine surroundings

[OxiB00ST]

Check your vital signs. You might be dead but hallucinating. Post-mortem hallucinations. You know what I'm talking about.

[Milksweet]

Turn around, pinch yourself, examine surroundings

Ow. That hurts. Why would I do that? It's not like I'm dead or anything.

Despite my now absolute certainty of my aliveness attribute, I check my vital signs. Strange, I remember it being very cold today. My breath lacks that whitey color it gets when it's cold.

Oh. There is no breath. Oh, yes, I remember. I was dead. Hard not to loose yourself in here.


I approach my computer, or at least, what it seems to be.

The familiar flash of the Pesterchum application flashes, signaling someone trying to communicate with me.

Annoy (and pester) your friend for 10 minutes straight until you get an answer. If you don't get an answer, annoy other friends.

That's what I was going to do anyways. It's not like this day was going to be about anything else. Except, you know, trying to steal from an infamous tyrant, and getting killed for it.

BV: Hey.
BV: Uh

EN: Are you still going to do that today?
EN: The theft thing?
BV: Err
BV: Didn't I already...

EN: Steal? Already? I don't...
EN: Wait. What day is it today?
BV: It's...
BV: ...
BV: I don't know.

BV: I think I'm dead.

Imagine your head as a cabbage. Find out if your own ghost head turns into a cabbage.

Err

What am I thinking? First I am dead? One of my friends confirmed I am? A cabbage as a head? It's like I don't even know what is real and what is not anymore.

Good going, OA, now both benevolentViolator and my infinitesimally small amount of readers is thoroughly confused. I hope you are proud of yourself.

[OrangeAipom]

I thought that you didn't have a physical form because you were dead. I guess I was wrong.

[Milksweet]

I thought that you didn't have a physical form because you were dead. I guess I was wrong.

Well, you thought wrong. I apparently do.

...

...Wait, who am I talking to? This being dead thing is very strange.

I guess I'll just act apologetic for taking so long to answer my friend.

BV: I'm sorry
BV: What?
EN: Yes, you're dead, and it's a huge relief to see that you've noticed already.
EN: Explaining this to you would've taken ages.
EN: Long story short:
EN: you are dead, you are on a dream bubble, you missed out on playing a fun game and I need your help, because apparently, you are still relevant to all this for some reason?
EN: But yes
EN: I need to know what you were trying to steal.

[OrangeAipom]

What's a dream bubble?

[OxiB00ST]

Ask more questions to your friend.

[Milksweet]

What's a dream bubble?

EN: Well, let's see...
EN: A dream bubble is a place where people dream.
EN: And that's probably the simplest way to describe them.
EN: I could probably tell you more, but you know the deal!
EN: The first tip is free, but you gotta pay for the rest! ;D

Ugh, again with her stupid knowledge fees. I guess I have to indulge her.

BV: Ugh.
BV: Fine.
BV: You want to know what I was going to steal from him?
BV: A copy of that stupid game, that's what.
BV: Stupid shit got me dead.
NE: Alright, where?
BV: Hey! A deal's a deal. And your deal was to give me info.
NE: Augh.
NE: damned be the children of your children.
NE: But yes, those places are where dumb people who die go to as well, but they are only given to people the so called "dark gods" deem important enough!
NE: why would you have one befuddles me to no end.

BV: Ok, fine. The king's castle has lots of secret passages.
BV: No surprise there.
BV: But well, the thing is, I went through every secret passage.
BV: I checked in every place secret things would be stashed.
BV: Why do you want to know?
EN: I killed the king
BV: WHAT?!
EN: Yeah. It was easy. A trap over here, a backstab over there, and a little help from a common friend.
BV: HIM?!
BV: Not only you kill the king, the Prince helps you?!
EN: Yeah. Someone had to get him in the game.
EN: But yes, I've told you enough.
EN: I still need to know where the game is, gal.
BV: But the king...I was going to steal from him, but kill him?
BV: That's going too far!
BV: I
BV: I want to talk to VD.
EN: Ugh. FINE.
EN: Want to talk to the blue-blooded douchebag instead of your life-long friend, and help us all out by telling me where the stupid game discs are?
EN: Fine by me.
EN: But oh, too bad! He's not sleeping, and he still has his stupid dreamself alive.
EN: So joke's on you, HA!
EN: good bye, jackass.

Just...

just...Fuck her.

The king is dead.

This being dead thing is actually very intuitive. It's like I still have a body just not...quite like a real one.

I pick up my pencil. I like this pencil. I usually draw stuff whenever I am bored and don't feel like engaging in lighthearted activities of small-time theft.

The prince gave me this one. Everyone of my friends ended up giving me something. His name is written on the side.

Strange, I can't seem to remember his name. Well, not many people say it anyways.

I just need to rotate it slightly and I will know...

You are right.

He is secretive of his name for a reason, so chumhandles matter the most.

Well, anyways, if victoriousDirector cannot contact me because of his sleeplessness atribute, I guess I have to talk to my only other choice at the moment. NS had told me to contact him if I ever died, although I didn't understand how or why I should do that at the moment.

Fortunately, he is online.

NS: Well, a buncha cool stuff.
NS: VD contacted EN, or maybe it was around-ways or maybe like that, and decided to stop taking crap from the King.
NS: VD basically wanted to avenge you or something, said he wouldn't do it alone, blah blah blah, you know the guy, and EN I think was doing it for fun, although she may have had some "ulterior motives", blah blah blah, you know the gal, and long story short, they killed him, and are now inside, in that creepy empty castle.
BV: Is it really empty?
BV: Because
BV: You know
NS: It's empty because the parade outside, Communion Day and whatnot, but of course you knew this already because "what? You think I'm going to steal from a castle full of guards?"[sic], but the king was there, strangely, something not even EN knew!
BV: Yeah. It was wierd.
BV: Kinda like he was expecting me.
NS: Oh, but I bet he wasn't expecting the knife to the back of the head EN gave him!
NS: It was cold blooded.
NS: I wish I had been there.
NS: But of course, I couldn't, I was waiting.
NS: Waiting for you, nonetheless!
BV: You were expecting me?
NS: Why, of course!
NS: Such an underrated player you are.
NS: But don't worry, we'll get you in the game soon enough!
NS: Most specifically, I will get you there.

[OxiB00ST]

Wait until NS "gets you there"
