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...

La Luna takes a look at the pack of cookies he holds up, lips slanting in a faint sign of disgust - she does not want to even think of how that would taste.]
People with adventurous tastes, maybe? [Now she shares her own find, a bag of chips with the flavour of "flavourless chewing gum" - which has been opened. Yes, she did try it and yes she does regret it.]
Though I'm not sure if you can even buy it. I tried to pay for this but the people at the counter didn't seem to care.
no subject
What did you offer to pay with? [He puts his hands in his pockets, and he doesn't have anything he could use. Does Limbo have an economy?]
no subject
I was curious if they were as bad as they sound. And they are. [That's all she'll say about that matter.]
I offered to do some work to make up for the costs, but they just brushed me off. Said something about this being a popular flavor, before trailing off onto something else. [Though does this mean they can just... take stuff? Where does their stock come from and how do they pay for it? Her head is starting to hurt...]
no subject
[He looks around to compose himself.] Even if you did ask to help out here, the store looks like it's kept pretty clean and well-stocked, so I don't know what you could do. Have you seen any other Spectres in here? I'm not sure that I have...
