Ghost Tommy - Tumblr Posts
Here comes the time of random thoughts, guys. So...technically, Schlatt is now the only "alive version" in the whole afterlife/limbo. All others are ghosts (well....maybe we have a Mexican Dream version somewhere there, but I am not sure). So....I just want to imagine Schlatts limbo becoming some sort of "therapy place".
I think we still don't have the exact information about his Limbo, but, we could take the most popular and also awesome headcanon that his Limbo is a "lonely party". So, I just imagine how he is just...spending his time drinking there, not even trying to get out of the room, when out of nowhere a ghost-boy in a yellow sweater enters. They are....both clearly surprised. Ghostbur believed that he is alone, because before...there was nothing but the abandoned station in his Limbo. Does this place slowly change locations, opening the ways to other Limbos? Those where definitely questions that needed answering. But for now....Ghostbur was just happy that he wasn't alone, though this happiness didn't last. Schlatt threw one of the many bottles at him, missing on purpose, demanding him to leave him the fuck alone. The ghosts eyes became all teary, he tried to explain something, stuttering and saying that he is not Wilbur. Clearly not understanding that this is not the reason the "alive person" doesn't want him around. Schlatt should continue to shout to make him go away, he really should. But he doesn't. He is just tired. So he tells the ghost to "shut up" if he wants to stay so badly. Ghostbur tries to be quiet. Silently taking a seat at the "birthday table" looking around. At some places there were marks, probably Schlatt counted the days at the beginning of his afterlife, but gave up on counting afterwards.
It was quiet, Schlatt continued to drink, looking everywhere, but not on Ghostbur. The ghost got more nervous, so he started to ask questions...since he clearly doesn't remember Schlatt or anything about him. The older man doesn't really want to interact with the other, but after some hours, he starts to answer the questions without the grumpy "shut up".
More time passed before there was another intruder. That one...seemed oddly familiar but had a mask on. Mexican Dream. That one was....even more loud than the first ghost.
It was getting less empty in the little party room. Even though Schlatt still seemed to be rather annoyed by the ghosts, he didn't demand them to leave at least. Sometimes starting to ask Ghostbur questions, repeating them sometimes, this was more of a "remember game". Seems like Ghostbur starts to forget more and more information, so, Schlatt helps him to remember. Mexican Dream seems to be the most optimistic here, catching Schlatts "unintentional help" pretty fast. He is annoying but...he makes this place feel more alive.
This is why it was so strange, when he dissapeared at one of the mornings. This was the first time, where Schlatt didn't hide that he tried to calm down Ghostbur. Mostly doing some breath technics and trying to distract him. After that he again acted annoyed....which honestly irritated Ghostbur, but he learned to not ask questions about Schlatts actions.
Several days....or months....in the Limbo it's hard to tell, passed. This is when the door, that lead to the room opened wide. Mexican Dream entered with the words "Look who I found, amigos!", to his side was clinging another body, with a hood on his head, hiding his face. "Its Tomas!". Ghostbur was the first to move. Hugging the Ghost of his "brother" as tight as he could. At least now he is crying out of happiness. Schlatt just watched, looking at the kid.
When Tommy's hood finally came off, it was an accident and it became clear why he was wearing it in the first place. His face was...fucked up to say the least. A bloody mess. The young teen put the hood back on, trying to cover as much of his face as he could. Schlatt kept silent, while both of the other ghosts tried to calm down the young boy. Before he finally interrupted, coming closer "MD. Mind giving yar mask?" There was clear hesitance, but...after looking at Tommy again, Mexican Dream was willing to give this item. Schlatt helped Tommy to put it on and slowly put down the hood. "Well. Now we are not looking, kid. Better?" There was a single nod. It was also the first time that everyone could see MDs face....and Schlatt had to confess, that guy looked familiar...but maybe it's just the whiskey....
Okay, I probably executed that idea horribly. But I hope that everyone gets, what I meant. I may come up with a name for that "AU" or "idea". And yes, I know that the ghosts can't leave their limbo...but I will ignore that.
