Chapter 9 Ghost Cat
You know, being dead sucks.
This was what was running through Doopliss' mind as he was taking a stroll through Toad Town. He was currently in a green toad's body.
You have to survive by stealing other's bodies because you don't have one of your own, you can't eat or drink, and everyone hates you. It's a living man's nightmare.
Doopliss sighed. This wasn't the first time he had thoughts like this. He wished he could have his old body back. Or at the very least, he wished he could steal the body of somebody interesting. And while he had posed as a few interesting people (one of which being the great Super Mario himself), they were very few and very far in between.
Suddenly, Doopliss spotted an orange cat walking down the street. Doopliss stared at the cat for a little bit before an idea came to him.
I've never been an animal before, he thought. Why not give it a shot?
With that, Doopliss turned back into himself. He melted into the ground and reemerged as a purple silhouette version of the cat. He threw a bolt of light at it, allowing the two of them to switch bodies. Doopliss examined his paws.
This definitely has the potential to be fun.
With that, Doopliss started strolling back down the street. As he waltzed by, he could see little kids looking at him in adoration. One of them came up to Doopliss and pet him on the head.
"Do you want some milk, little kitty?"
"Sure thing."
The little kid looked at Doopliss with wide eyes. That was when Doopliss realized what he did.
"Oh, I mean...meow, meow?"
The little kid ran away screaming and Doopliss sighed.
Well that could have gone better, he thought.
Doopliss shook his head. It didn't matter. He was still going to have fun with this. AS Doopliss walked back down the street, he heard a growling noise. He looked to his right and saw a pitbull growling at him. As the dog started barking, Doopliss shrieked and ran up the nearest tree. It wasn't until after he did it that he realized the mistake he has made. He couldn't get down!
You know, being dead sucks, he thought. But it doesn't suck nearly as bad as being a cat.
