“As long as we don’t cause any problems, you’ll keep this place up and running.”

–Alana

Mayo is a character that appears in the short story Blank Slates. She is one of two screeners, the other being Willham. She was the mastermind behind the population of The Void, as she hired Shadow Mari to help her. When her plans were outed, she had a breakdown and explained her history to the entire void. She was eventually deleted by Joseph Tringali at Willham's request. She was replaced by Shadow Mari.

Appearance

As a screener, Mayo is a blue mist that can change her form at will. She also has one physical accessory, being a pair of golden earrings, that can also be dissolved or changed at will.

Story

Mayo is first seen at the Discussion Grounds with her fellow screener Willham, helping the Four Guardians decide on who to send up to the Developer's Grove. During their discussion, Mayo urges the Guardians to be patient with their choices as she doesn't want Shadow Mari to attack them, however, the Guardians vote for Mildew before hearing Shadow Mari's case, and she attacks the grounds. After killing Willham, Mayo watches as Shadow Mari attacks The Void. After the attack, Mayo askes Rocko and Fox to help rebuild the villages, to which they refuse, and she drifts over to The Next Chapter Village and begins to protect the villagers.

After Alana and Lambert get into an argument in the village, Mayo appears to break the argument up and watches as Alana tries to ascend to the Grove. After failing once again, Alana storms away, causing Fiora to take the rest of the group to Hans at the edge of the village. Fiora goes inside while Mayo, Lambert, and Nolan wait outside.

Eventually, Crawler and his army attack the village, causing the group to panic. However, before a fight can break out, Willham attacks the village and deletes it, along with some of the beings in the area. Afterwards, Mayo chastises Willham and ignores Fiora, Nolan, and Jinxy as they leave. Eventually, she, Willham, Rocko, and Crawler all head to the Shadow Hole but are stopped by Flash, who asks the group to help fight Dinofrog. Mayo refuses, but Willham and Rocko are eager to fight. After Willham defeats Dinofrog, the group continues to the Shadow Hole, but the Guardians reluctantly agree to travel with Mayo.

When everyone makes it to the hole, Willham begins to fly across the pit towards Shadow Mari, so Mayo follows him. After Shadow Mari calls off her army, she notices Willham about to charge her, so Mayo shouts at Shadow Mari to kill him. This causes the residents of the void to question Mayo's alliances and morals, which in turn causes Mayo to break down. She begins to shout at the Guardians about how they hated her for following the rules, and when Willham reforms, she yells at him for destroying everything she worked to build. After her breakdown, she floats to the ground and begins to cry.

After her breakdown, Willham pulls Shadow Mari aside and asks for Mayo's story. Mayo had wanted Willham to be happy when the Guardians were removed after each dev cycle, so she planned to create life around the void by bringing Shadow Mari to life and having her do the work. The two of them had worked together to stage Shadow Mari's attack on the void, explaining why she worked to protect The Next Chapter Village.

Later on, when Willham, Shadow Mari, and the Droogle Leader jump into the Shadow Hole and close it, Willham asks Joe to delete Mayo from the void to which Joe agrees. He makes an announcement into the void, causing Mayo to panic and beg for help as she dissipates. After she's died, all that remained of her was her earrings, which were picked up by Flash.

Quotes

“As much as I would like, we can’t skip over anyone. We all know that it has the power to destroy us, should it see fit.” –Mayo “I like that idea! That leaves us Fiora, Lambert, Mildew, and Rocko. And Shadow Mari, we cannot forget Shadow Mari.” –Mayo “She was grouped in with Watersong and Galactic Jungle NPCs, so we assume she was supposed to live in the Watersong Village.” –Mayo “Now, Lambert seems to be in the exact same category as Fiora. Only difference between the two is that he’s male and green.” –Mayo “This is Mildew! I quite like this one cause he-” –Mayo “I don’t know. Maybe we can make him a farmhand or a fisherman!” –Mayo “Well then it’s settled! We’ll send Mildew up to the Dev Grove and let them work their thing!” –Mayo “You know we can’t do that! Once the code is given a form, we can’t bring it back until the devs decide otherwise!” –Mayo “Actually, if you don’t mind, we could really use your help rebuilding around here!” –Mayo “Now you two, you know the rules.” –Mayo “Did she tell the three of you where she was going?” –Mayo “Hey, just give it a minute. I think I know what she’s doing in there.” –Mayo “And where do the three of you think you’re going?” –Mayo “What do you need me to do?” –Mayo “Willham! Pardon my language but what the fuck were you thinking, wiping out the entire population of the village along with some of our team?” –Mayo “They shouldn’t exist but now they do. They were given life, so we have to protect it!” –Mayo “Rocko. Rocko! Rocko! Stop spacing out and answer me! Where did they go?” –Mayo “Fox? Lambert?” –Mayo “So, you lied to us then.” –Mayo “Do either of you know where everyone else disappeared to?” –Mayo “I’m sorry Flash, but we’re just not equipped to fight right now.” –Mayo “If we’re all going to the hole, might as well travel fast.” –Mayo “What’s the matter guys? We gotta get to the shadow pit before Drakon does!” –Mayo “Where’s Willham going?” –Mayo “Willham, stop! She’s not the one to blame for all this.” –Mayo “He’s not going to stop, just kill him!” –Mayo “Enough! All I ever got from you was sass and anger because I followed the rules. Every time you wanted to send multiple people up to the devs, every time you wanted to skip over names on the screen, every time a game released, and it was time to put your four to sleep, all I ever heard from anyone was hatred!” –Mayo “I thought I could create a world where I could get rid of your hatred for me. I brought Shadow Mari to life to give you friends, give you houses, give you adventures. But you would never let that stay the way it was, would you? It’s always about the natural order of things. I was always the one to follow the rules, but you never wanted anything new or interesting.” –Mayo “And when I tried to give you more friends, more things to do, you had to destroy it. And you, Always with your rules and regulations. If you had given us more leeway, we wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with!” –Mayo “Everyone’s coming back? That’s great! People will be able to join games whenever they please, and we won’t be bored down here!” –Mayo “Remove me? Does that mean I’m going to die? No. No, I can’t die. Not like this! Please! Someone do something! Why are you all just standing there? Flash, Hose, Paint, Ore, someone! Help me! No!!!” –Mayo
