OOC: Welcome aboard, Arkaznor! I like the character and the form of your writing Arkaznor, however I will give you a little bit of suggestions. Try to put a little more detail into the writing, like clarify who your character is and whom he is talking to. Also, I might want to add that the whole possession thing might need to be a little more controlled.
IC: Bonty had fell asleep after being bored that the Mudokon had gone off somewhere. He finally started to burst his eyes open, to face a Mudokon he never thought he would see again. Bonty realized that his friend was kneeling on one knee, and faced Bonty. He had a stern expression on and said a little oddly, "Hey bud, are ya all right?"
Bonty sat up and rubbed his face hard. He groaned and replied to his friend, "Not sure Hufty, I fazed out after...."
Bonty was struck by both shock and estatsic at the same time. Hufty was a friend of his at Slurg Barns 11, back when he worked for Molt's boss, Rraff. But Hufty was one of the eleven Mudokons there that was executed by Molt publicly, after trying to free Meeps back into the wild. He saw him die! How did he come back? Was all of the pain really just.... Bonty started to excitingly think, "Was that whole thing a dream?! Me being tortured by Molt and then sent to Bonewerks to work??! And then sent me to Vykker Labs because he needed an assistant? Then finally going to Rupture Farms?!? Did I really dream several years of my life?? Was that all a horrible dream or not?? But if Hufty is here, than it must all be just a dream!! Yes!!"
Bonty excitingly stood up and said to Hufty, "Hufty, I had the weirdest and the most horrible dream!! But now it's all gone now!! It was all a strange, nasty dream!! Everything is how it should..."
Before he could complete his sentence, he realized something even bigger than life. He was still at Rupture Farms. His skin was still brown. If that was all a dream, then how come it happened?
Hufty stood up to see Bonty in the eye. He was a just a normal green Mudokon, with nothing that was abnormal about him that set himself off from the rest. But his face held stitches and he looked at Bonty gravely. Hufty sighed and shook his head, and deeply commented, "No wonder they call it Oddworld. I think you just had a dream of your life."
Bonty had his shocked eyes be fixed onto Hufty's. They looked at each other as Bonty tried to figure out why he could still see Hufty's face. He remembered that moment when Molt tied up Hufty to a rope that hung from a ceiling. And that shot that struck Hufty's heart... There was no doubt that he didn't die. Yet the smell of Rupture Farm's polluted air snuck into Bonty's nose, showing that he really was at Rupture Farms. Bonty's mind raced as he tried to figure this one out. The breeze behind his feather proved that he was awake. Bonty's mind pulsed and his heart skipped two beats when he came down to a conclusion....
Bonty gulped nervousily, as he tried to sneak the words out of his mouth. "Am, am, am, am, I dead Hufty? Am I in Odd?"
Hufty's grim face broke into a smile. He pressed his hand onto Bonty's shoulder, and said quietly, "Well, no. Your alive. If you were, I couldn't do this, now could I?" He pinched Bonty's shoulder tightly, tight enough for Bonty to yelp. Bonty shoved Hufty's hand off his shoulder in the pain, and stared at his brother's chest. There wasn't the bullet he remembered that was there. He seemed healthy, like in his memories of Hufty. This couldn't be. If he wasn't dreaming and he isn't dead yet, why can he see a dead person?
Bonty deeply shattered the silence by saying viciousily, "I'm going absolutely nuts!!!!"
"No, you're not. Your head is perfectily fine. Trust me on this one."
"How can I??!! I saw you die, I can't see you!!"
"Then who are talking to?"
"My head!! That's it!! I'm starting to talk to myself because of my determination for trying to escape!! I need to express my emotions to someone else besides my imagination!!"
"You're getting warmer...."
"Then what is it!?!?"
"I'm a spirit expressing itself through your conscious. I'm here to help you complete a task that must be done."
Bonty did not reply. He didn't want that to be real. He just wanted to be a normal Mudokon, not some lunatic who is seeing people. He needed to get rid of Hufty fast. But how? Maybe he could tell others that he needed to get this Mudokon shot. But what if it really is his imagination? Or maybe Hufty was right. Bonty wanted to find out as fast as possible.
He started to sprint of in the corrider he was in. He avoided the cameras, as he watched for some sort of person about. Bonty exhaled faster and faster as he tried to think that Hufty was not right beside him. Even though he wanted to be with his friend, he didn't want to think that he was seeing him through being phsycotic. He sprinted harder, until his sight saw two Sligs. (Jade and Albino) He didn't care if one of them was albino, all Sligs were the same. They would shoot him for not doing anything.
Bonty kneeled onto his knees at the sight of them and looked at the fearfully. He tried to think of an excuse for running in the hallway. But he was to be distracted when Hufty, standing beside him commented, "If you're going to escape, you might as well stop trying to beg for Slig's acceptance."
Bonty stared at Hufty, and gave him a confused glance. He didn't understand. How did he get here without running beside him? He was to be answered when Hufty gave him another conversation to think about, "You're trying to escape, right? So don't give them what they want. If you want to get outta here, you need the trust of Mudokons, not Sligs. Sligs will only get yourself to untrusted by Mudokons. And you want to rescue all Mudokons right?"
Bonty was struck with bafflement. How did he know anything about what he thinks? And why did he just say that in front of those two. He pointed at Hufty and said with utter bafflement in his voice, "Did you hear that?"
OOC: Just for the record, onlt Bonty can see Hufty. What Hufty said is true about Bonty. This is just a little something I was thinking of for some time.
