Chapter 11
Joe of the Dark Ocean
"No, no, no!"
Joe took a deep breath. While free-falling into the ocean wasn't high on his top 10 list of greatest. Even then it probably took up the thirteenth spot, above paper-cuts but below tripping. He took a deep breath, knowing that it would be the last he would possibly take. The dark tides quickly took him in, dragging him down. At five feet, the one of reliability was hopeful. He still had some air. At ten feet, feelings of dread began to set in.
At twenty five feet, his dread began to give way to feelings of despair. If he had died here, who would care? Life would just continue on for everyone else and he would just become another forgotten memory in the pool of time. At 35 feet, his breath finally gave panic settled in. He began to flail his arms against the water, only to pull himself further down and bring further pressure down upon him.
Joe made a quick glance at his left arm. Gone was the typical flesh and bone he had expected to see, replaced with some sort of bluish white goop in the shape of his former appendage. After taking a second deep breath, he decided to gaze at his surroundings. Contrary to it's appearance on land, the water appeared quite clear. Not that there was anything of any interest to examine.

A light blue "sea" hung overhead, complementing the pristine marble castle below it. The slime slid his way over to the entrance, giving the door a slight "knock". After, he switched back to his original form.
"Yes?" a voice remarked, only for a catboy to stick his head out. "Master Joe, you've returned!"
"Huh?" the slime remarked, sliding inside.
Inside, the castle was bare bones at best. There wasn't any furniture at all within the room, leaving just the bare stone brick walls and a wooden floor.
"Don't you remember?" the catboy shouted, only for his slime to take a step back. On further inspection, the creature was dressed in a black tux with matching dress pants. "We're needed with the others."
A portal formed under their feet, pulling the two in...
