OOC: Poor Oogie. Couldn't win without his dice. XD "You still cheated..." Oogie muttered. "I play to win." John said.
John floated into the forest, followed by Oogie. "MALIFICANT, COME OUT!"
Easy: Port Royal. :D
"WHAAAT?" Oogie shrieked. It didn't matter-she was gone. "So...heh...ever play blackjack before, kid?" "Yeah..." John grinned. "With your dice."
Mario summoned all his strength to throw the massive turtle off him. 15 seconds left...
Oogie laughed. "Nice one, Malificant." "Yes. Anything."
"Damn you...MALIFICANT!!!" John broke down sobbing. "Please...don't hurt her."
"YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!" John roared.
Sure! Um...can somebody do the honors?
Mario leaped over it and punched Giga's head, nearly busting his hand. He landed back on the ground. Invincibility, right. He thought.
John tried lying to himself.This isn't real. Nope. Just a nightmare, is all. I'll wake up. It didn't work. He cried harder. Pumpkin King...my dream...it's gone. It's all gone...
Mario laughed. He knew that when Giga wore off-in 30 seconds-Bowser would be rendered helpless for 30 seconds.
"You know that witch? Her name's Malificant. She and I made a deal-I give her the girl, she gives me the power. But when you got dragged into darkness-" "-it was transferred to me..." "Ding-ding. Give the ghost boy a prize, ladies and gentlemen." "But...how?" "Anything happens in darkness, kid. Looking at what became of you, I'm kinda glad I didn't get the power." "Shut up..." John sobbed. He fell on his hands and non-existant knees. "...just shut up..."
Mario flipped into the air and got into his Brawl stance.
OOC: AW...MAN! :( The once-John floated in Oogie's lair. "Oogie Boogie." He called. "OOGIE BOOGIE!" John roared. "Heard you the first time, kid." Oogie said. "What has happened to me?!" "What happened to you was unlimited power-something that was supposed to happen to ME." "Explain." John said.
John roared in rage. He needed answers...but who could-it suddenly dawned on him. Of course. "OOGIE BOOGIE." John growled. OOC: LOL This is getting good.
John focused as hard as he could...but to no avail. He was stuck like this. Not even a ghost anymore...a monster. A monster. A MONSTER. "RAAAAAH, DAMNIT!" He sliced up the light post's remains.
John sat on a light post, sobbing. He looked at his hands...no, they were no longer hands, but monsterous claws..."Why did this happen?" John suddenly became infuriated. "THAT OLD WITCH...ALL I TRY TO DO IS ENJOY MY FEEBLE AFTERLIFE, AND THIS HAPPENS?!" He swiped at the light post, splitting it in half.
He grabbed her and lifted her into the air. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" He suddenly set her down and tears streaked down his face.I...WAS ABOUT TO STRANGLE MY BEST FRIEND."No...NO!" He flew away to town.
"Wha...Pumpkins...what have you done to me? WHAT AM I?"
