Green stopped up short. Fourth Wall Repairman?

“Oh… well ok, if you’re supposed ta fix it then… uh… carry on.” He watched as the repairman continued pulling tape off the Wall.

Meanwhile, Vio was completely baffled by the sudden appearance of the cart.

Green looks at Vio, narrowing his eyes and clearly unamused with his usually rational ¼ths complete and utter mental shutdown. It was just a cart, yeesh. It’s not like they couldn’t pull stuff out of seemingly thin air… yeah magic was involved, but maybe this blob had magic too.

“I’m sorry if we offended you… we didn’t know there was someone whose job it was to fix the Wall! It seems like in our world when we die, we’re able to see the Wall and it gets kind of clear and gooey like jelly… or at least that’s how we see it. We kind of… didn’t realize we were breaking it until it started really coming down, heh heh.”

Vio finally recovered enough from his BSOD to add to the apology.

“We’re sorry. Is there anything we can do to repay you?”

The Repairman merely nodded slightly, still simmering a little. Let’s see, tape goes there, cement goes here…

The purple ghost’s surprise made him forget the offense for a moment.

“What?” he asked, turning around. “Never heard of hammerspace?”

He was about to remember that not everyone has the same name for Toony rules, but he then heard their apologies.

“Oh, that’s fine,”  he said, shrugging, “I guess I don’t–”

He opened his eyes in sudden realization.

“Wait, you had to die to see it?”

Granted, Toons didn’t… cease, but most didn’t have to die to see it. A more cynical part of the Repairman’s brain chimed in: Too many don’t even strain to see it.

In any case, he never saw it as jelly or clear. In spite of himself, he was curious.

“You…could tell me about what you saw…”
