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...

[ OOC: Welcome to the very first log of Can Cry! For the first few hours, Executors will be free to explore and mingle among themselves. Mod replies will come in a few hours. If you're planning to investigate, please indicate that you're doing so in the subject line as your comment. ]

[ she doesn't mind just sitting and listening to everyone else's questions for the most part, but... no one has asked the one thing she really wants an answer to. ]

What... should we do?

... about...?

[ She was really expecting a follow up statement or some sort of qualifier there. ]

... Being awake.

[ maybe that's still not enough? everyone else talks so much. it doesn't feel like it comes very naturally to her. ]

It seems like... it was better to be the same as the rest of the people here.

... I really wish I knew, but I don't. I'm sorry. When I woke up, I remembered that I was an Executor and that I had a duty to do, but... um, you haven't remembered anything like that, have you?
alcahest: (i know i'm meant to die.)

[ she shakes her head slowly. ]

I... don't remember anything. It just feels... empty.

[ it took a few conversations for her to realise the other people that "woke up" don't feel that way, so she supplies the information in case it is, somehow, important. but it doesn't seem to bother her. she says it with that blank, serene stare and a slight tilt of her head. ]
phantasmagorial: (worried)

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-03 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
... I'm... I'm sure we'll be able to find a way to help with that.

[ She says, sounding Not Sure. ]

I don't know how, but... I'm sure I'll come up with something!
