Act 30½ - Intermission

Mel

“This … this is hell?” Mel asked in disbelief, staring at the surreal, colossal environment.

Yep, the demon answered.

“Like… Purgatory?”

Kind of?

“Where people go when they die?”

It’s not that simple, Melchior. Think of this more as a… hmm... while your world is measured in three dimensions, and pictures in 2D, then this place here exists in 1D. It exists only conceptually. A place outside of time and space, built from fibers of every feeling, idea and thought. This rock over here? Created from every instinctual fear one single ant ever felt. That mountain over there? Woven by the feeling every mouse experienced when they saw the sun for the first time..The sky above? A soup of every kind of hate that every human has ever, and will ever, experience. So, in a way, this is where people go when they die. But they’re already partially here, since the day they were made.

“I … think I understand,” Mel said, now feeling a little foolish in light of such an complex answer to his rather childish question.

You don’t. But that’s okay, this place is not built for humans to understand.

“Then why are you showing me this??”

Look to your left.

Mel turned around, and he saw something almost stranger than this hell he currently stood in.

A noodle cup.

It looked wrong, almost blasphemous in the face of the surrounding supernatural world that had an alluring yet macabre beauty of its own.

This is where you send things when you let them disappear, the demon said.

“I feel bad for littering this place,” Mel commented, afflicted.

Oh my fucking shit, Mel. This is literally hell. Get ahold of yourself, fuck! Focus. You need to internalize this place, so you can control not only the position of the portal in your world, but also its position here. Walk around. Feel the ground. Open up portals from here, so that your muscle memory, soul memory, magic memory, or however you want to call it, gets used to the feeling.

As Mel tried to take a deep breath, he realized something. “I - I can’t breathe…!”

I swear, it’s like walking a child around the battlefield when teaching you anything. Chill out, man. This world works differently. Technically, you’re only an idea. But since you’re convinced that you exist and that you’re alive over there, you’re convinced that you exist here, too. That’s why you can see and feel this world, because you otherwise wouldn’t be able to fathom existence inside a concept. In case you didn’t notice, you also can’t feel anything. You think it might be cold, but what you’re actually experiencing is an emotional sensation this place gives off. Or the lack of temperature, if you will. Hell is bigger than you can comprehend.

“It’s... true, I don’t feel any pain anymore,” Mel stated while rubbing his middle.

That’s a nice change of pace now, isn’t it.

“What happens if I die here?”

I’m going to fucking kill you if you don’t stop pestering me with questions. What are you going to ask me next, the meaning of life? I’m here to teach you magic and make you famous, not to explain things to you that aren’t meant to be understood. So start conjuring, or I’ll kick your butt so hard that you’ll still feel it here.
