The time is 12:24 AM, 4th of August, 2018. 

You were on your computer watching as a favourite creator of yours by the name of SMG4 posts frequent funny memes on Twitter and other social media. You sit back and sigh, you look over at your phone but decide there's no point in trying to find someone to talk to.

You: "I bet that dude has such a fun life. I can't find anything interesting to do." 

There's a knock at your door! You make sure you're wearing proper clothes before going to the door to open it and see a mushroom wearing scouting badges around his chest and an orange neck scarf tied around his...not neck. He also had a bite mark on the right side of his head

You: "Oh hey, what did you need?"

The mushroom stood with his arms out to his side. You chuckle and hold your arms out too 

You: "T-Pose gang! Hah, ahh, I love that." 

You drop your arms but the mushroom kept quiet while staring at you...he pushes forward but can't enter the room with his arms out so he moves sideways and enters as he somehow slides along the floor toward you. You back up...

You: "Hey, I didn't say you come in!"

The Mushroom jumps and attempts to get on top of you! But luckily you're able to dive out the way causing the Mushroom to crash into your desk

You: "Dude this isn't cool! You seriously need to stop this or I'll call-"

Before you could finish threatening to call someone, the Mushroom gazes at your phone left on the floor from the broken desk and crushes it. You look toward the door and try to make a run but the Mushroom stops you! He jumps again while remaining as stiff as a stick but you lunge back and hit the floor but a pillow that laid on the floor saved you!

You stand up and hold the pillow as a shield! 

Neighbour: "Hey can you keep it down? I'm trying to-" 

The mushroom jumps onto your Neighbour before he can finish talking! Then the two of them rise to their feet. Now both were in a T-Pose position

You: "What the hell is this?! This isn't what I had in mind when I wanted something fun to do!"

You turn to the window and sharply inhale! You charge through the window with the pillow protecting you as much as it can! Then, you quickly start to run down the street!

From behind, more and more T-Posers came and spread into different houses while the one Mushroom kept following you all the way to Princess Peach's castle!

You swing the castle doors open and run inside before quickly slamming the doors behind you and backing up into the castle

???: "Hey! What are you doing here? This castle is forbidden-"

You turn over to see SMG4! The guy from the videos you watched 

You: "SMG4?! It's you? Eh- that doesn't matter, this weird mushroom dude is following me and he's doing the T-Pose! Everyone he touches starts T-Posing as well!"

SMG4: "What? That's ridiculous, you're clearly on drugs or something..."

SMG4 looks outside to see the mushroom standing there

SMG4: "Shroomy? What are you doing?"

You back up and run into the castle to see the plumbers Luigi and Mario

Mario: "Oh God it's a drug addict!"

You: "What? N-no I'm not on drugs there are these people chasing me and they're all T-Posing!"

At that moment a violent banging comes from the door! You grab all the things you can find and hold them against the door

Luigi: "What are you doing!? SMG4 is still-"

The door breaks open! A hole reveals SMG4's face as he gazes in on the group with his dead eyes

Mario: "Ahh! SMG4 has turned into a bird!"

You: "We have to do something!" 

Mario: "I got it!"

Mario grabs onto Toad and throws him through the hole in the door, then...it goes quiet.

Mario: "See? Mario fixes everything!"

You: "I think you may have made it worse..."

The door smashes down as hoards of T-Posing zombies flood into the castle!

You: "I think we should run-"

You look to the left and right of you to see Luigi and Mario had already left.

You: "AH! HEY DICKHEADS DON'T LEAVE ME!"

You run up the stairs and follow the plumbers until they make it to a door where Mario and Luigi break it down! You run through the broken door and push the doors up back into place

You: "That should hold them!"

Inkling girl: "Mario? Luigi?! Oh thank god, you guys can play for me- Wait...who is this new guy?"

Mario: "RUUUN!!"

Mario and Luigi run past the inkling girl as you hold the doors back 

Inkling Girl: "Hey! Explain what's going on!"

You: "Jesus Christ how many times do I have to say this, there's a hoard of-"

You get thrown into the wall as the doors fly off and the T-Posing hoard enters the room! You quickly get back onto your feet and back up to where the Hooded person, small green dude, and the inkling girl were.

Small Green Dude: "Oh hey you guys want to see my Yu-Gi-Oh! Collection? Here's Trishula Dragon of the Ice Barrier! He's my rarest card right now!"

You: "Green guy get away before they eat you!"

Small Green Dude: "What? Why would they do that? They're my friends isn't that right- AHHH!"

The green dude screams as the T-Posing zombies pile onto him!

Inkling Girl: "BOOPKINS!"

From the T-Posing Zombies risen the T-Posing Boopkins. You back up as the hooded guy runs off

Inkling Girl: "Bob! Help me take these guys down-"

Bob: "No I'm joining the boys Lol! See you, Meggy!"

Meggy sighs as you turn to her, she looks over her shoulder at you

Meggy: "Can you fight?"

You: "Hell no..."

Meggy: "Then get out of here! You'd only be dead weight!"

You: "Right...Sorry."

Meggy: "I said go!!"

Meggy demands of you, so you comply and run up the stairs to where the others are.

Luigi: "Where is Meggy!?"

You: "She's fine I'm sure." 

Bob: "I say we set the place on fire and burn the T-Posing bitches to the ground!"

Luigi: "No Bob we can't! They're our friends!"

Mario: "No problem! Meggy is number one!"

Mario looks between the cracks in the door to see the T-Posing zombies closing in! He holds the door back with you and Luigi helping!

You: "Hey! Bob! Can't you do something!?"

Bob: "Oh dear lord please let these guys go to Heaven, they're cool sort of. Later bitches!"

Bob walks off as you start to slip

You: "I'm getting a feeling he's not the greatest friend-"

The doors burst down and the zombies pursue! You run up the stairs with the Italians following

You: "Where is the roof!?"

Mario: "This way!"

Mario runs to the door with the label 'roof' above it. You go to open it but it's locked!

You: "It's locked! What the hell?!"

Mario: "There's no lock on this door! Let Mario try!"

Mario pushes on the door but to no avail 

Mario: "BOB OPEN THE DOOR!!"

You and Mario push on the door while Luigi attempts to slow the zombies down

Luigi: "Mario we're goners!"

You: "Luigi get your ass here and help us open this door!" 

The three of you all attempt to push the door open! Eventually, Mario is able to thrust his body through the door to open it!

Mario: "I did it! I did it! Luigi! We did it!"

You run out as Luigi sighs while also walking out.

Luigi: "We did it, bro!-"

Suddenly, Luigi is grabbed by the zombies! You quickly run over and pull on him to help get him out

Mario: "LUIGI!!"

You fall back as Luigi gets pulled away by the zombies. You step backwards as Luigi and the hoard come through the door! 

Bob: "Great job! Now the T-pose zombies will get up here! How will the world survive if I die!?"

Mario: "YOU KILLED MY BROTHER! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!"

Mario tackles Bob to the edge as you grab a tile off of the roof and throw it at one of the zombies but it doesn't stop them all!

Mario kicks Bob off the roof as he backs up to the edge with you.

You: "This isn't how I wanted to die..."

Mario: "I never got to eat the Golden Spaghetti!"

Then, hope! From behind you two Peach rises in her helicopter with a machine gun that fires mushrooms at the T-Posing zombies!

You: "They're turning back!"

SMG4: "Uugh...what happened?"

Luigi: "I liiiive!!"

Meggy: "That was weird..."

Peach lowers the Helicopter onto the roof of the Castle and walks over to Mario

Peach: "I can't believe this I take a vacation for one day and there's a goddamn T-Pose Zombie Apocolypse!" 

Mario: "Peach!? How did you do that!?"

Peach: "That is what happens when you eat T-Posing mushrooms. Luckily for us I had the cure." 

You slowly back up but then Peach turns her gaze to you

Peach: "And who are you? Did you start this outbreak!?"

You: "N-No! It wasn't me! I swear! It was that dude!"

You point to Shroomy who looks around and chuckled nervously

Shroomy: "Oh jee, I think it happened this morning."

Shroomy explained the story of how Waluigi told him to eat a T-Pose virus mushroom.

You: "Well now that it's all over I think it's time I leave."

Meggy: "Leaving so soon?"

You: "Yeah, what else do I have to do around here?"

Luigi: "W-with Waluigi out there! He could start another Virus and you could get caught!"

You: "I-uhh...Why do you guys care?"

SMG4: "You seem like a nice enough guy, I don't think there's a reason for you to not hang around a bit more!"

You rubbed your head and shrugged

You: "Sure, why not? I'll stick around for today."
