Description The Chimp's friends approached to see what he was looking at, and immediately shirked away in horror.  What they saw looked nothing like the Chimp behind the mask... or even anything human.  The face was nothing but dark, sunken and empty round eye holes, and the mouth was a huge gaping maw with nothing inside.  What was supposed to be a nose was actually two small holes where it is supposed to be.  Every large orifice on that face was both leaking what appeared to look like blood, as well as surrounded by dried, crusted blood as well.  "T-Those eyes..." stuttered Minky nervously "those were the same empty eyes that I saw when I fought him!"  "Jesus..." whispered the Chimp, still in shock "Is this why he attacked everyone near and dear to me?  What is going on here?"  A few seconds of silence, and a sudden voice that sounded like the Chimp spoke.  "Do you really want to know everything?"  Everyone turned towards the Chimp, who himself looked at the mask.  "I knew it.  All the signs were pointing to you, but how did you obtain my voice?" the Chimp asked.  The mask responded "You were the first to wear me, and you gave me your voice as a result.  I never had one before, but to be fair, what you gave to me does not compare with what I gave to you!"  "What do you mean?" the Chimp asked.  "You were a misfit.  An outcast.  A frequent bully victim that was ripped upon by the chavs and neglected by the yuppies.  You were even hurting from the break-up from that blonde you still dearly protect today.  You were angry, moody, lonely, and alienated.  You wanted to prove that you belonged, and show how cool and tough you were.  You needed me when you bought me in Germany, and even though you couldn't hear me physically, you somehow took notice of my call, and wore me.  After that, you became everything you wanted to be at the time.  It was that personality change I provided you that made you think you were everything to everyone!  That you were finally accepted by people!"

Minky, Bey and Lendo bowed their heads, knowing that they watched what the Chimp went through roughly 15 or so years ago, while the others looked on intently at the Chimp, who was no longer aggressive but contemplative after what the mask told him.  "I sense there's many unanswered questions that you need to know the answer to, Chimp" the mask exclaimed.  "You need to know where I've come from, and what I've been through in order for you to reach this point."  The Chimp nodded in response.  "You wanted to know it all?" asked the mask.  "You know what to do.  Put me on one last time.  I know you need the closure."  The Chimp angled the mask for it to fit onto his face, but was hesitating.  "What are you waiting for, Chimp?" asked the mask.  "What do I do?" asked the Chimp to his friends.  "Listen.  Let me tell you that you're no longer the guy that this thing here claimed you were all those years ago" El Goldenio proclaimed.  "You are stronger and more confident in yourself that you cannot allow it to control your life anymore.  I reckon you should put it on and close those few chapters."  With that, the Chimp's friends nodded in agreement, although Minky warned "Please be careful, Chimp.  It might do things that could really do some harm.  It proved to not do you any good last time."  With a deep, long breath, the Chimp slowly put on the mask...

What the actual fuck?

Unsettling at the very least.

Here, I thought that they'd toustle, Chimp would lose his Bandanna, and everyone would go 'Oh crap! They're the SAME!' and then someone would ask the Real chimp something he'd only know, or that old trope.

Didn't expect...

Yeah, that trope would be something many would expect.  I had to go with something different.

Well, well...I had remember encountering some character that once appeared to be a human at least, but turned out to be a disguise made by a very small object that was never notice until now. However, I didn't expect this at all. Quite a reminder if you ask me. I do hope that the mask isn't pulling a trick and that he's being honest. That's all I can say.

Now that I said it...one thing I must say once again: This is getting interesting.

So the mask was controlling Poisonous body all this time.

Or rather... Poisonous was the mask all along?

I'm confused - is that blood on the poisonous body? Or like, yarn from the mask? Like, was it a person originally or basically just a mannequin?

It helps if you read the description below.  Plus, don't ask for plot points too soon into this story.

Heh... Well this has all turned into an interesting "Splatterhouse" like event...


I always knew Poisonous was a hollow character before.... but this is just ridiculous...

grippedchimp In reply to Sir-Bombers [2014-07-07 14:50:23 +0000 UTC]

Indeed, this was inspired by Splatterhouse somewhat, although the mask here is more benign.

And yes, anyone who pursues evil intentions so much like Poisonous is bound to be hollow, but to try and say and be more evil than the next person is even more hollow, no?

Sir-Bombers In reply to grippedchimp [2014-07-07 19:19:33 +0000 UTC]

Heh... "Benign", indeed.


It's all dependent on the intentions.... The evil that Poisonous has done is established as nothing more than being "evil for the sake of being evil", nearly bleeding into "Generic Doomsday Villain" territory at times. You can be"more evil" than the next person... but if you're just evil, with no motivation other than "I'm just evil, I cause misery simply because I can", then you come off with a hollowness that is incomparable to anyone else.

Literally and figuratively in all parts of the word's definition!

Just imagine all of the stuff you can fill him up with now... Hot air, fluff, BS...

 Oh wait, those were already in him from the start...
