Superbia Intro Log

SUPERBIA


    With the dragon of greed thoroughly slain, the Executors are at last free to escape the sensory hell of the Avaritia Underside and descend to the next Layer. There's still sound and chatter, of course, but compared to where you've been spending all your time until now.

    Welcome to Superbia. And make yourself comfortable... because now that you've arrived, the stairs that guided you down here have disappeared and you won't be leaving any time soon.

    Feel free to use this arrival log to chronicle your initial misadventures in the Pride Layer of Purgatory. As noted in the location page, several locations will require further investigation if you'd like to get some information on them, so get investigating! Drop a comment down to the Investigation Request subheader if you'd like to explore.

    Get out there and have fun!

This layer is called Superbia, right? If they're still matching up to the Latin names, that means the sin here is pride.

[She shrugs.]

So... keep an eye out for anyone who seems like they have a really big ego, I guess?

[ Pride....Pride. High opinion of oneself, but not just that. There's a lot of nuance to the concept. A person who holds themselves above all others - a person who holds themselves to high standards, and won't compromise, for fear of what that would imply about their identity. A person who wants to be unassailable.

It's disturbingly familiar, like Esme's envy.

But, even so: ]


I might have two leads.
mementomoritz: that someone is me (did somebody say science?)

Oh? [Medic looks pleased as always to learn something new, flipping open one of her ever-present research journals and pulling out a pen.] That's a promising start, tell me more!

[ Monarch distills what he learned from joining the soccer team and listening to the other kids. ]

A festival's being held this week. Normally the principal opposes events, but the student council president insisted. She's a good student...

[ Put the president in a rough spot, apparently. ]

Both the president and the principal have strong personalities.
