[initiate telepathical conversation]
Charles: so this is hell?
Wolf: no
Charles: then why did you
Wolf: cuz it's funny
Charles: oh
Charles: I can't argue with that
Charles: but that begs the question
Charles: where am I?
Charles: I remember a lot of blood and a lot of pain and then I just woke up here.
Wolf: I've been here for years and I haven't seen anyone that knows the actual name
Wolf: let's just call it the afterlife, even though it's just a microverse
Charles: what?
Wolf: just don't worry about it
Wolf: wait hold up I'm going to find you in person
Charles squinted his eyes, noticing a slender figure standing atop one of the many green dunes. The entire area was basically a sea of green plains, barren aside from a few towers that were scattered around the area. The figure approached to reveal a short boy with ruffled hair. He reached out and shook
Charles' hand, introducing himself.
Wolf: The name's Wolf
Wolf: I thought I'd come and give you a tour around this place
Wolf: You're part of something much bigger
Charles gazed around him in a confused daze, not knowing how to take it all in.
Charles: I'm just so confused.
Wolf: You got killed by a shit ton of knives
Wolf: now you're in the afterlife and I'm going to give you a tour
Wolf: just don't think too hard about it right now
Wolf grabbed Charles' hand and they suddenly arrived in a crowded party, with millions of people getting down. Upon their arrival everybody abruptly stopped and turned to face Charles. That is, until the DJ acknowledged him.
DJ: LETS GIVE IT UP FOR THE NEW MEMBER CHARLES!
Everybody applauded Charles, and then continued to get jiggy with it. Wolf dragged Charles through the crowd, sitting him at a bar and sitting next to him.
Wolf ordered like 57 cans of gasoline and drank all of them in like two seconds. Meanwhile, Charles was busy having an existential crisis.
Wolf: whoa dude are you ok
Charles: how can I be ok
Charles: I just died!
Charles: I guess I just don't know how to feel about this whole thing.
Wolf paused, looked at Charles, and then gave him a 3 millisecond kiss.
Charles: WHAT THE FUCK
Wolf: calm yourself
Wolf: I need you to relax
Wolf grabbed Charles' hand and they jumped to an open field covered in lime green grass.
Charles: How are you even doing that?
Wolf: how are you telepizing with me right now?
Wolf: in here, your mind shapes reality.
Wolf: why don't you try it?
Wolf: just imagine the most relaxing place you can think of
Charles closed his eyes and focused his mind. When he opened them, he and Wolf were surrounded by flames. Wolf grabbed Chatles' hand and they returned to the green dunes that Charles woke up on.
Wolf: maybe you should keep working on that
Wolf: all I can say is that soon, your friends will be in danger and I need you to help them.
Charles: how will I help?
Charles: what can I do when I'm dead?
Wolf: you can redeem yourself.
Charles looked up and saw one of the scattered towers was in front of him. Not only that, but the tower was engraved with Charles' name. Before Charles could say anything, wolf asked him a question.
Wolf: can I ask, do you remember where you were when you died?
Charles: I was in my house, on the floor...
Charles: Air Bud was there too...
Charles: licking my blood?
Wolf smiled and looked intently at Charles.
Wolf: so air bud is your spiritual object...
Charles: I don't Have any idea what is happening anymore
Wolf: when you die, your soul passes on into something else.
Wolf: it could be anything
Wolf: because Air Bud locked away your blood, your soul passed on into him
Charles: ok... So?
Wolf gestured to the tower.
Wolf: when you die, you are given a chance at redemption
Wolf: your own tower filled with trials that have to do with unfinished business from your previous life.
Wolf: completing these trials grants you control over your spiritual object, an opportunity to influence the physical world
Wolf: if you complete your trials, you could control air bud and assist your friends on their quest.
Charles looked up at the tower, then at Wolf, then back down at the green ground. He stood up and gave wolf one of those cool bro hug things.
Charles: let's fucking do this shit.
