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...

[ th... the brains of a suitcase... honestly, she doesn't really feel like she can even defend herself from that. ]

I'm not sure... No one else seems to think so.

[ she can certainly feel something, but she's not sure what it is. she can't understand it. it seems to her like the people going about their lives have the right idea of it. ]
emberserker: Self-satisfied. (because i can)

That's because you've just been talking to those extras. They may as well be drones.
alcahest: (i know i'm meant to die.)

But... there are more people like that than people like us. Maybe we're not supposed to have noticed it...?

[ it's hard to shake the thought that she's done something wrong by changing. ]
emberserker: Neutral expression. (peace i'll never have)

Supposed to or not, the fact is we have, and we can't very well just act as if we're the same as the idiots who pass for normal around here. So then what?
alcahest: (that i'll die before i'm old)

[ she shakes her head slowly. ]

I... don't know... [ then what? why does there have to be anything else? they shouldn't have woken up. they should have just kept sleeping peacefully. that's all. ] Does there have to be something...? If we weren't supposed to be different... then there won't be any place for us here. We can't do anything about it...
emberserker: Pleading her abilities. (trust me it's fine)

Are you serious? You're giving up just because you jumped to that conclusion? We're special, not defective, obviously!
