introductions

It comes to you suddenly, at the end of an unravelling thread of thought. A sudden, piercing sense of wrongness stops you in your tracks and sends you tumbling through rapidfire questions that you realize you have no answer for. How long have you been here? How long have you been doing the same things, over and over, blindly going through the motions of a routine? Just who are you, anyway?

Questions beget more questions and answers prove illusive until you arrive at the only things you know for certain: the first is that this place is Purgatory.

The second is that you're here because you're dead.

Oddly, this doesn't feel like a surprise of any sort. You don't remember how or why it happened, but it did and that's that. It feels rather as though you've been slapped awake and everything around you has come into sharp focus. You're in Limbo, where you've been wandering since you arrived here in Purgatory alongside all the other mindless souls who are acting out what little they remember of their original lives.

Still lingering is that horrible sense of something being terribly wrong. It hasn't dissipated with your realization of the truth – if anything, it's intensified. There's no way to tell what it is, but there's something going on here.

Maybe you should investigate – or at least see if there's anyone else here who's had the same realization as you...

You mean, explanations.

Sorta. It's more, what thingies are actually worth explaining?

Like, I could tell you about how it kinda-sorta seems like this place doesn't seem to have a consistent architectural style. But I can't remember any styles clearly enough to explain why that might mean something. So...
emberserker: Eyes closed, preparing to fight. (just a moment)

Unfortunate. Though I suppose at least that makes sense, given dead people wouldn't all be from the same time and place.
pride_of_amarcia: (Uncomfortable)

... So, wait, some of us might not be recently dead, and have just been in the blank act for... Uh, who even knows how long?!

[Brainiac only just now seems to have realized the implication.]
emberserker: Gritting teeth, eyes wide. (nO)

Obviously, and that's not the only disturbing thing about this place!

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-04 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)


... Can't help but think that it means I won't find anyone I knew. But given I can't remember anything, how would I know?



I guess that just adds one more task on top of figuring out what the hay is going on here, though! I gotta make new friends.
emberserker: Anna neso? (blah blah doll metaphors)

[personal profile] emberserker 2020-08-04 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You can do that after you've figured out the important things.

But friends are important!
