[Wakey Wakey]
Her eyes snapped open as a bright light hit her face.
[Loading...]
What..? She groaned, rubbing her eyes,
[Congratulations, you are dead!]
...
huh?
...
HUH?!
She turned her head around haphazardly, scanning her surroundings. Nothing. Just a pitch black, empty void,
Well, empty except for the holographic projection floating in front of her, still displaying:
[Congratulations! You are dead!] in large bold letters.
Her mind bugs, failing to register those words in that brain of hers.
Dead...
"Dead," she muttered out loud...
"WHAT THE ACTUAL-, dead as in... deceased, uhh unalived, PERISHED?! hah.. hahh. Have I finally gone insane? Is that what this is?" Her hysterical laughter echoed through the darkness.
It was met with no response, just the same words [You are dead]
"Am I in a dream or something?.. No, that's not right —way too realistic. Hahh, I must have hit my head really hard then... guess this is the end of the line for me."
The words DEAD in the corner of the hologram just staring at her... am I a joke to you....
[Idiot, you ARE dead]
Oh, right, I'm also hallucinating, I guess we do that before we die too...
[YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD]
"Right, right, yeah, I am... wait, actually?"
[Yes, dumbass]
"Yeah, right." She scoffs
[... Let's just get this over with.]
[You are technically dead, but since I, for some reason, loved how unapologetically dumb you are sometimes...]
"Uh, thanks?"
[ I've decided to revive you :D]
...
She stared at the hologram for a moment, eyes blank, mind short-circuiting, until a piece finally clicked in place in her brain.
She scanned her surroundings once more, now that she had more or less calmed down/woken up. She stared at the projection, moved around, stretched, jumped, said some words...This felt real
"Holy hell, so this is actually not some weird hallucination or something? I am really dead?"
...
"WAIT, so then by reviving me, you mean you'll reincarnate me? Like the cliche in stories??
"So I'm gonna be the protagonist of some novel I've read!?? or.. or maybe a game I've played??!"
[Nah, no, none of that, you are so delusional lol]
Wait! Then what do you mean... who even are you… Who even am I..?!!
She gazes into the black void. Suddenly, 'reality' sank in
"Where am I?! Ugh, why can't I remember anything? Did you mess with my memories?!!
WHY AM I TALKING TO A HOLOGRAPHIC PROJECTION? What are you?! "
[...]
"Please just tell me already! Why do you have to act so mysterious?!"
Suddenly, a huge countdown timer appears.
[Reviving in: 10]
"Don't I get a choice in this at all??"
[Well, would you like to stay dead?]
"…good point"
[Reviving in: 8]
"WAIT, so then WHAT ARE YOU?!!"
[You'll know in due time]
[Reviving in: 7]
"WHY WONT YOU JUST-"
[Reviving in: 6]
"Are you a spirit?!!"
[Reviving in: 5]
"A deity?!"
The edges of her vision are starting to blur.
[Reviving in: 4]
"a god...?"
[Something like that]
[Reviving in 3]
Where will I be transported to-?
[You'll see]
[Reviving in 2]
"Could you at least tell me my name..? Or would that be a secret too..?"Her consciousness starts to fade away.
[Reviving in 1]
[For that last part- your name is Raven :3]
[Reviving in 0]
"WAITttt-"
[Good luck :)]
