You just died! Congratulations! You have managed to survive thus far in the apocalypse but your need for a Chipotle burrito left you defenseless against that zombie once you left the Compound.
But obviously you're not dead dead since that would be no fun. You are now a ghost and your body is a mindless zombie.
(set: $inv to (a:))
[[Try and merge with body]]
Oh NO! Your body doesn't seem to be cooperating and keeps evading your attempts.Your body has spotted a neighborhood dog nearby and tries to chase it (you've always been a dog person).
Something is holding you back! The Grim Reaper appears and is trying to reap your soul. Look's like you have to escape death.
[[Play a game with death -> Level 1: A Game with Death]]
[[Run away ->Main page]]
[[Let your soul be taken. You're done with this astral plane ->Let body go]] Are you sure you want to end your journey for the rest of eternity? No takesies backsies, you know.
(Hint, hint: Dying is boring, I would know).
[[Run away ->Main page]]
[[Nah, I'm good. I want to be a ghost and live a boring ghost existence ->Okay]]
Putting up no resistance, the grim reaper is able to take reap your soul. Enjoy the rest of your afterlife!Where will you search next?
[[High School]]
[[Mall]]
[[Unknown territory]]
[[Graveyard]]
[[Hospital]]
[[Zoo]]
[[Laundromat]]
[[Neighborhood]]Looks like there are loose animals everywhere. Oh, OH GOD. That's definitely a lion. I would suggest you figure out a way to get out of this mess because I don't think those teeth and you are going to mix well.
[[Hide behind popcorn stand]]
[[Run away from the pointy teeth ->Main page]]
[[Fight back]]The graveyard is guarded by a heavy gate.
[[Try and open gate]]
[[Return to main ->Main page]]
Creepy. Try not to make any noise.
*You can challenge the reaper again if you want.
*If you find Clara (random alive human), the lions will eat her unless they are your friends. Helping Clara means help reading the medical charts (which you can't do unless you have your eye and brain)
*You will find your stomach in one of the jars in the hospital[[Win Minigame]]
[[Lose Minigame]](if: $inv's length > 0)[Your inventory contains a (print: $inv.join(", ")).]
(else:)[Your inventory is empty.]
(link-goto: "Return", (history:)'s last) (if: (passage:)'s name is "inventory")[<!--Do nothing-->]
(else-if: (passage:)'s tags contains "noinv")[<!--Do nothing-->]
(else:)[Check [[inventory]].]You get a clue from Death.
[[Return to Graveyard ->Graveyard]] Looks like you've lost and Death is now bored with you. Your journey ends here.
[[Restart ->Your Death (Introduction)]] (if: $inv contains "Right Arm")[You opened the gate!
The graveyard appears to be deserted. Be careful of the reaper and don't fall in any open graves!
[[Challenge Death to another game ->Minigame!]]
*If you fall into a grave then you will be stuck unless you took the ladder from the high school in the janitor's closet. You will find your other arm in the grave though so yay!
*If you find Marie's ghost. Also, side quest.

[[Beat Death]]
[[Defeated]]"Looks like you've won our game, Jake. I am begrudgingly impressed. I will help you on your quest to get your body parts back. You probably don't remember what you look like at this point, but here's a small reminder..."
**PICTURE FLASHES IN MIND**
"Good luck, Jake. I did enjoy this little game of ours, do come find me if you wish to play again."
[[Main page]] You have failed to beat Death at the Game.
Death begins to speak to you. "Looks like you lose, Jake."
[[Try and convince death that your life is worth sparing at the risk of angering her and facing her wrath]]
[[Accept your fate ->Okay]]
You scramble to give an explanation and draw on your ability to bullshit given to you by your high school english class.
"Hmmm...I suppose your cause is a noble one, Jake. And our game was interesting enough. Alright, I will let you go on your quest to find your body. Good luck and come find me again if you want to play another game...you may find it...beneficial to your quest."
[[Main page]] *There will be a horde of zombie cheerleaders.
*There will be angry jocks that used to bully you.
*Talk to the nice janitor while hiding from the jocks (if you choose not to fight) and he will give you keys!
*To get your brain back you will need to beat the chess club.*You will be able to go to the arcade. Play games and win tickets = exchange for prizes. Either golden key, eraser, or stuffed bear. Your arm will be playing video games.
*Food court: you can steal money from the register or make a pizza for later (which you can use to bribe the zombie hunter).
*Clothing shop: Buying nice clothes will make you seem more believable later on. *ZOMBIE HUNTER TERRITORY. If you bribe him with a pizza, he will let you go. If you try and fight him, you will be captured unless the lions are your friends. If you make a deal with him or run away, you will end up at the [[convenience store]].
*Animatic of zombie watching as his head rolls around in the laundromat (hint, hint). Most of the laundry machines will be locked or empty (possibly a hint in one of them?, also clothes). If you got coins earlier and you turn on the machine, you will see your own eyeball in one of the machines and you will sit next to the other zombie and wait until you get it back. *Your house will give you clues to your backstory. Yay! Your butt will be on the couch watching TV.Well now what?
*Feed the lions popcorn and they will become your friends. (They will come to rescue you later on and will scare off the monkeys)
*Throw cart at them and they will run away and you will be free to explore the zoo.
Well you're a ghost. As in you do not have a physical body. As in why are you afraid of these animals again if they are just going to pass right through you? Right, anyways.
*Head will be in jungle enclosure. You will need to play monkey in the middle to get it back*The dude that runs it is kind of crazy. You will need to have some sort of key (he collects keys) to barter with him for your leg back. If you try and fight for more he will either give you cash or you'll end up with your torso as well.
