Superbia Intro Log

[cancrymods]

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!

[ Mona shakes her head with a soft smile, and hands him a glass of water to swallow that pill. ] That's how it was for the rest of us, too. We've remembered more about ourselves over time, but I'm not sure anyone has remembered their real name yet.

[ what else can she do for him right now...? he's probably had that ice for a while, she can at least swap it out for a new one. while he's taking the painkiller, she grabs a gel icepack from the freezer and hurries back over. ]

For all of us, there was just — a word that comes to mind, and that's all we have. Mine was Magnum Opus, but it doesn't make for a very good name. I think Amber sounds much better.

[ the way he reacted to heal, though— ] Are you... familiar with magic?

[alchemistake]

[God bless you, Mona. He'll gratefully accept the cold icepack in exchange for his previous one, that one having become more of a gluey slushie in feel at that point.]

Wow, that's...pretty intense sounding.

[Amber at least sounds like a name, even if he isn't sure it really fits him all that well. What does he know about fitting names when he can hardly remember anything about himself?]

I am, a little too familiar really. Not exactly a huge fan? I'm more of a sciencey, practical type of guy. But it...has its uses.

[alcahest]

[ that's something of a relief to hear — it's rare that they find other Executors who are less comfortable with magic, the way she is. ]

I see... [ she nods very seriously. ] I can understand that. We have— some kind of magic, as Executors. But there wasn't any magic in the place I lived, so I'm more familiar with science too. Chemistry, alchemy, engineering...

It was nice to learn those things when I was alive. I liked that... they always made sense.

[alchemistake]

Yeah! Yeah, see, that’s what I love about it too! It just makes sense.

[Life is unreliable; science is forever.]

I’m an alchemist, myself. It’s…kindof the only thing I remember so far, but I do remember everything about all of the things I used to make.
