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...

[Hope is slightly startled at the sudden calling-out, but it's to be expected from the act, so he takes it in stride.] I noticed that you're not like the others. [He points to a Spectre that happens to be nearby.] I wanted to see where you were going. Maybe ask a few questions. That's all.

[A beat.] ...Unless you don't have any plans, either.

...I don't have any plans, but...I doubt I have any answers for you, either. In fact, I'd be willing to bet many of the questions you have are ones I have, as well.

[He sighs. He doesn't really feel like it, but talking to someone is better than...well, Hope put it best when he pointed at the nearby Spectres. He's certainly better company than anything else Espresso has encountered.]

...Still, if it will help pass the time, I suppose I don't mind if you still have questions you want to ask, even after hearing that.

[Hope is silent as Espresso speaks, taking it all in. It's really nice to have someone competently reply to him for once. He nods at the end.] As long as we keep going, maybe we'll uncover some answers. First, though, have you met anyone else other than these Spectres? I think the odds are pretty good that we're not the only ones who have... awoken.
