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...

no subject
But the moment he saw her begin to fall, something triggered in him to rush over and try his hardest to help her out. He's glad that she was able to catch the ledge, because he arrives too late to actually do anything. Instead, he watches her climb back up. From below, he feels compelled to ask,] Are you really okay? No pain? [He frowns, a twinge of regret falling over him from being unable to help. Wait...] Can we even experience pain? Since we're... dead.
no subject
gonna lie here for a bit.]
'm more out of breath than hurt. [It's a little muffled. Give her a moment, she'll sit up.] Maybe try pinching yourself?
no subject
Pinching himself, huh? He can try that. Hope takes a thumb and forefinger to his other arm and gives a quick but hard squeeze.] Yeah, that still stings. [He frowns.] So much for being dead and no longer affected by pain. What kind of afterlife is this? [It's both a rhetorical question and a complaint, and he doesn't expect any kind of meaningful answer.]
