More mushroom trip narration/action!
It had been a while since the ghost had some lunch at the cafeteria, but ever since then he was hopped up on those mushrooms. Later in the afternoon, Doopliss, in his tripped out state, was meandering around the campus grounds, confused as hell, but at the same time feeling very mellow. Sure, the sky was green, the grass was pink and that mailbox decided to sprout out legs and a top hat, but it was all cool. No big deal. The mailbox even tipped its hat. “Why, hello there! I have some letters that are a thousand years old! Would you like to see?” Doopliss just looked at the mailbox for just a few seconds and went on his way. Maybe he’ll take a look at those letters later.
For now, he looked up at the green sky. The sun looked perfectly round. He even saw purple Marios jump off of the sun and onto the ground. With each Mario that landed on the ground, he started to circle around the ghost, saying only one thing:
“Hi, Doopliss!”
Doopliss was somewhat surprised. “Gah! Don’t say that out here!”
More purple Marios began to run around him. “Hi, Doopliss! Have you kept in touch with the acting troupe?
“Stop it! I’m already having a hard time keeping it a secret, don’t shout it out here-” Wait, how did they know about the acting troupe?
Still, the Marios persisted, circling around him and chanting, “Hi, Doopliss! Do you remember when your sheets all turned pink when someone put something red in the wash?”
Wait, how did they know about that?! Doopliss only told that to his parrot. Did he escape and tell these guys all of his secrets? He wasn’t going to take this anymore. Everyone else was going to hear the chanting if he didn’t do something about it! “Okay, that’s it. Prepare to get such a whooping!” With all of his might, he headbutted into one of the purple Marios square in the chest. That purple Mario turned into an Eerie Smile. The ghost was taken aback, he’d never seen anything like that before. “What the…”
The Eerie Smile responded by letting out an evil laugh. Soon, a huge shadow covered Doopliss, the Eerie Smile and the myriad of purple Marios. Doopliss turned around, holding his ground. Was this another purple Mario or another one of those weird smiley things? No.
A giant casket, about as huge as the tallest tree on campus, was right behind the ghost. Doopliss immediately became tense and jumped back.
"Hello, Doopliss. It’s time to go!" the casket said to the ghost in a menacing tone. It opened its lid, revealing the cushion interior.
The fact that all of these purple Marios knew all of his secrets suddenly wasn’t as big of a problem. …this was it, wasn’t it? It couldn’t be it. The last place that Doopliss wanted to be was under six feet of dirt! He still had so many things to do and so many people to prank! “I…I’m not going anywhere!” he protested. He was still on the defense, yet he started to feel just a little bit scared. Just a little.
“Oh, but you have to go,” the casket insisted. “It’s not like anyone would miss you, anyway. Nobody gets scared when they talk about you!”
“Hey! That’s not true! Back at Twilight Town, everyone was afraid of me! I owned that place!” Doopliss retaliated.
“Ohhh, they were just doing that just to make you feel better. How could anyone be afraid of a freak in a sheet?” said the casket.
“Don’t call me that!”
The purple Marios took that as a cue to start chanting. “Freak in a sheet! Freak in a sheet! Freak in a sheet!”
Doopliss took a few steps back. “Shut up! All of you, shut up!” This was all starting to become way too overwhelming to him, with the many Marios inching in closer towards him and a freakin’ gigantic casket looming over him. He had to get away! Hovering seemed to be the best choice, but as he started to go up, one of the purple Marios grabbed a hold of his sheet. Doopliss tried to shake the purple plumber off of him, but it was no use.
“Hey hey hey HEY! What’s the big idea?! Let me go!” Doopliss shouted to the Mario, sounding a little more desperate than usual. The purple Mario simply laughed mockingly at him.
“Yes, I think he needs to go, don’t you agree?” the casket asked.
“Yeah!!” the purple Marios cheered in unison.
“WHAT?!”
In an instant, all of the purple clones got behind the duplighost and ran into him at the same time. This force was so great that it knocked Doopliss into the casket. Just a split second later, the casket shut itself.
There wasn’t much room inside the casket, not to mention the fact that it was completely pitch black. That didn’t stop him from pounding on the lid. “HEY! LET ME OUT OF HERE!!” Doopliss shouted, completely panicked.
“Sweet dreams, Doopliss!” the casket replied and came crashing down to the ground with a deafening thud. After that, nothing. Complete silence.
Doopliss tried to push all of his weight onto the lid, in desperation that the lid would somehow break off and he would be home free. However, that seemed impossible to do. Still, he persisted. “GET ME OUT GET ME OUT GET ME OUT GET ME OUT GET ME OUT!”
[People who aren't hopped up on mushrooms are treated with seeing Doopliss wandering around the campus grounds, then trying to hover up when a tree branch catches on his sheet. A gust of wind blows him backwards into a bush, where he's been flailing around, chanting, "GET ME OUT GET ME OUT!"]
