001 - action/voice

[Things that had been on Eugene's to-do list as of about three hours ago:
-Climbing a tower
-Rescuing the girl of his dreams from the clutches of her really overprotective mother
-Sweeping her (the girl, not the mother) off her feet
-Living happily ever after
Things that hadn't been on his to-do list:
-Getting stabbed
-Dying
Still, even if the whole "happily ever after thing" went a bit sideways, there's no arguing with the rest of his plan. Eugene (with the help of a chameleon and a very convenient shard of glass) defeated the evil witch and died heroically in the arms of the woman he loved, which is a very dramatic, Flynnigan Rider-esque touch that he would have really appreciated if it hadn't been for the fact that he was, you know, the one slowly bleeding to death on the floor of Rapunzel's tower. Still, the important part was that she was safe. She was free now, and that was really all that mattered. All that remained was to tell her how he felt.
He did.
And then he was floating away. Eugene doesn't want to go into a big philosophical tear about dying and the nature of death because that would just be awkward, but it really isn't like the books say. There's numbness and a gradual graying-out of the world and the sound of singing, and--
--and the sudden realization that he's lying face-down in a mud puddle (which may not be entirely mud; there's a strong horse-y smell coming from nearby). Shirtless. And kind of cold.
Man, the afterlife sure isn't what it's cracked up to be.]
[voice - a little while later]
So...do we get shirts in heaven, or is that not a thing here?
