The rough and relatively 'distant' sounds of a nearby waterfall snap the two of them out of their newly developed shock. Darryl got up from his seating place of Morgan's now broken back and stepped onto the devolved pathway directly next to where they landed, sending him tumbling into the shallow water below.
Morgan gets up shortly after but just decides to sit down on the floor and slide into the water. The two of them then begin to trudge their way through the water, large piles of trash quickly entering their vision.
"Ewww, that's nastyy" Darryl says, sticking his tongue out in disgust. While Morgan agrees with this statement, she doesn't have the energy to outwardly agree, still attempting to fix her broken spine.
They pass by two giant piles of trash and enter the next short room, all of them bring seemingly connected through a short hallway between them.
Darryl steps onto the platform in the middle of the room, kicking Morgan when she also attempts to get up. Morgan flips him off and wanders into the next room, leaving Darryl to just stare at the waterfall in front of him for a while. He quickly gets bored because of this and moves into the next room.
A slightly long and bendy hallway leads him into the next room to see Morgan attempting to get onto a broken bike while it is still very stuck in the water, she keeps failing and falling into the water below, the horn attached to it letting out a loud and distorted 'honkers she does so.
He laughs at her misfortune and walks past her, also walking past multiple other piles of trash. Morgan joins him on his walk as they approach a dummy, soaked in trash water, Morgan notes its absorbant property and mentally attempts to figure out what material it's made out of, suspiciously starting deeply into its beady eyes. Darryl shrugs at her antics and walks towards what seemed to be the exit to this trash based area.
However, his attempt to escape is shot down as Morgan reaches out to feel the texture of the dummy, hoping to figure out its material that way. This, of course, wakes up and enrages the dummy.
Darryl flinches back slightly in surprised as the dummy appears directly in front of him, blocking the exit.
Morgan moves to stand next to Darryl, steadily starting to realise what they just did as the dummy begins to 'talk'
"Hahaha...."
"Too intimidated to fight me, huh?" The dummy says, its googly eyes bouncing around on its head as it speaks, causing Morgan to snicker, unable to actually focus on the current dialogue.
Darryl just shrugs in return, having accepted the weirdness of the underground by now.
"I am a ghost that lives inside a DUMMY" it says, relatively confident in its word choice.
Darryl makes a whispered comment, leaning towards Morgan as he does so.
"Ooooo, spooooky ghooosttttt" he whispers, chuckling afterwards, Morgan doing the same as the dummy continues, seeming more enraged than before.
"My cousin used to live inside a dummy, too. Until..." the dummy looks down dramatically, shedding a singular tear.
"YOU...!"
"You..."
"Us?" Morgan questioned.
"The things you said to him! Spooked him right out of his dummy!"
..
"Ooohhhhh" Darryl comes to a sudden realisation, "was he that dummy in the ruins?"
"Sheesh..." Morgan continues his line of thought, "we sure mocked him...that's for sure.." Morgan seems more sheepish regarding the situation than Darryl, he just seems rather bored.
"Well then."
"Well then!"
"WELL THEN!"
"People like you are crumbs sticking to the face of this world."
"HUMAN!"
"I'll wipe you away with the dainty handkerchief of vengeance!"
Instead of looking afraid, the duo just looked more weirded out than anything.
This seems to anger the dummy more, it's felt base becoming a strong red, sticking out completely in the cold and dull coloured dump.
It begins to switch and shake rapidly before the duo are forced into a battle with it, their souls being ripped out of their bodies once again, something they were very used to by now.
The battle begins..
'Mad dummy blocks the way!'
Without having to check, the duo make a note of them being a ghost and realise that they therefore have no actual way to defend themselves if needs be.
This is very annoying for the two of them, it forcing them to shift into defensive positions as the dummy begins to attack.
