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. ]

[ SOUNDING IMMENSELY DISTRESSED: ]

You don't even know what an Executor is...!
mementomoritz: maybe both! (new toys? new friends?)

Yes, please tell me! I really, really want to know! [Totally oblivious to the distress here, she needs knowledge. Please. She needs it to unlive.]

You're way too excited about this...

[ But she sighs and acquiesces. ]

Executors... we exist to maintain peace and order here in Purgatory. That means protecting the Specters here so they can go on to their next lives safely and making sure Revenants don't end up hurting people, or even destroying them. ... At least, that's what I remember, anyway.
mementomoritz: good day (good friends)

People tell me that a lot! [Not even remotely concerned about this, apparently...]

That sounds nice, I'd like to do that.
