Garcello. The smokey man we all know and love. He’s also dead…
OR IS HE?!
That’s right! A new mod came out and it shows… GARCELLO! ALIVE! TAKING ANNIE TO GET MCDONALD’S(referred to as McDeeble’s.)! But Garcello(aka Garcy) lore is complicated. BTW, Garcy is still alive in every other mod except his own. Weird, huh? And back up a little. Who is Garcello? That’s what I’m gonna tell you today! By now, you probably know the drill for these blogs. I give you a summary of the mod, facts, and the link to play any mods I mentioned. Let’s get started!
#1: Who is Garcello?
Garcello is our homeless teal haired friend with the gray-black hoodie. He also smokes. What? I already told you this isn’t a kids game! Daddy Dearest hired him to convince BF to smoke, causing him to get lung cancer and die. Wow. When does Dearest make up these plans? Like, every hour or so? DEAREST, ACCEPT THE FACT THAT BF AND GF ARE DATING AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. Jesus. Anyway, he also wears white fingerless gloves. His eye color is black. And his tongue color is:
A: Pink
B: Red
C: Yellow
D: Mint green
If you guessed mint green, you are correct! And no, Garcello does not have any health problems. Except that he smokes. But that’s it. He also has white teeth. Yep. But if he came to your door at 10 PM, and you didn’t know who he was, you would probably think that he was a kidnapper. But he’s just a softie. Anyway, I’ll give you the basic summary of the mod. Again, more of a story that I usually give up halfway in than a summary. A lot of this is made up, but still based on the actual dialogue. Lets a-go. Garcello’s Tale may sadden some people.
BF and GF are walking down the sidewalk, and then they see multicolored smoke coming from the mouth of an alley. They go in the alley to check it out.
By now you’re thinking, “NOOO! DON’T GO! IT’S A TRAP!!!” But they go in. And all they find is Garcello, cross-legged, on the ground, smoking. He sees them, smiles and gets up. “Oh, hey there little man.” He says, casually. He looks around at the tendrils of smoke, and smiles. “Did the smoke catch your eye?” Cue this: “bap bep boop skdoop bep beep bop boop bep bop bep bep skbap bep beep.” Garcello smiles. “Heh. You’re funny, little man.” GF stares at him. “You can understand BF?” Garcello looks at GF and smiles. “Of course I can, little lady. Why wouldn’t I?” GF puts her hands in front of her. “Sorry, I just thought-” Garcello sighs. “It’s alright. People underestimate my abilities anyway. But hey, little man.” Garcello turns to BF. “You want a go?” He holds up a cigarette. BF shakes his head. “Bap boop.” Garcello’s face seemed sad. “You sure? Come on…” BF looks him in the eye. “Bep.” He says, firmly. Kinda like a parent when you’re playing a video game and you say, ‘Five more minutes!’ Anyway, back to the story. Garcello looks at the ground and says, “Hmmmm.” He stares for a minute then looks back up at BF. “I have an idea.” BF cocks his head. “Beep?” Garcello says, “How about a friendly rap battle? If you win, I’ll get off your case.” BF suddenly had a fire in his eyes. “Bap beep!” Garcello laughs. It sounded wonderful, like a springtime breeze. “That got you hyped up. Let’s go, little man.” He hesitates, and then adds, “Just as long as you don’t mind me smoking a bit. Helps calm the nerves, you know?”
Then Headache plays.
BF smiles. “Beep bop!” Garcello staggers forward, breathing heavily. “Hhhh…hey.” He manages. BF’s happy expression quickly changes to a concerned one. “Ski…ski boop?” Garcello looks at him. “That was fun, But my chest is starting to f-feel funny.” BF looks at his mic. “Beep…?” Garcello shakes his head, and slowly stretches back up to stand up straight. “I-I’m not giving up yet. You’ve got some tight bars, little man.” BF shakes his head and motions toward the bench across the street. “Bep boop skdep.” Garcello shakes his head and smiles a sad smile. “No thanks, little man. I’ll keep going. I’m enjoying this anyway. One more couldn’t hurt…” He stares at his cigarette. “…Right?”
Then Nerves plays.
Garcello staggers forward, falls to his knees, and begins coughing. Then he holds his breath until-“AAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!” He breathes out a bunch of smoke, like a dragon breathing fire. BF looks shocked, then quickly covers his face. GF does the same, but she smiles. Once the smoke clears, BF looks around. “Garcello? GARCELLO! Where are you?” He screams. Then he sees a body. “No, Garcello!” he screams and runs over to the limp figure. Garcello lay still and unmoving. He turns him over. “Garcello, no!” BF cries, pressing his hands against Garcello’s chest. “Please!” He picks Garcello up and starts dragging him. “GF!” he screams. “Do something! We need to help him!” GF says nothing. She just stares at Garcello’s body. “Sorry, BF…” GF says, “But there’s nothing we can do.” BF looks at her. “GF-” He then hears a voice behind him. “Your girlfriend’s right, little man. It’s too late. I’m dead.” BF turns around. He sees a ghost. But not just any ghost.
“Garcello! No!” BF says, in disbelief. Garcello stares at him, sadly. “Sorry, little man. I overdid it. I’m dead.” BF looked at Garcello. Then he began crying. “Garcello…” Garcello floats over to BF and wipes his tears. BF stops crying and looks up at him. “It’s alright.” He says, softly. “I’d rather it be me than you. That hurt like hell, but…” he pauses. “It…it was better than what your girl’s father was gonna do to me.” He looks at BF. “I can’t stay like this for long, but even if our time was short…” He V-poses. “Let’s end things off with a bang, little man.”
Release plays.
Garcello looks up at the sun. “Well, look at that. The sun’s rising and for once, I won’t be getting up.” BF sobs. “Garcello, no… don’t go.” Garcello smiles at BF. “Nice job talking, little man. Sorry for dying.” BF looks shocked. “Garcello-” Garcello keeps going. I didn’t want this thing killing ya. You’re actually pretty cool. I would have loved to funk with you more, but this is all my fault. I know you two have a lot going on, and I don’t wanna add to it.” He holds his arms open, and hugs BF. “I’ve got time for one last send off, little man.” He wipes away his tears with one hand. “But…do something for me.” BF looks up at Garcello from their hug. “What?” Garcello smiles down at him and looks at GF. “You two stay safe, alright?”
Fading plays, and Garcello fades.
BF looks down at Garcello’s body. GF puts a hand on his shoulder. “Let’s give him a proper burial.” Before they carry Garcello’s body out of the alley. BF hesitates. “One last thing.” He says. He picks up Garcello’s hat. “I’ll keep this. You know, to remember him.” GF nods. “Come on, BF. Let’s go.”
Sad, huh? Anyway, I’m running out of time, so I’ll end this really sad story with one fact: Garcello likes Cheez-its, and will eat an entire bowl of them if given an opportunity. AND WE’RE TALKING, LIKE, OVERFILLED.
Here is the link to play the mod with Garcello! Not only does it have Garcello, it has Annie and a bunch of other songs as well! I hope you enjoy! Bye!
