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. ]

CONTRACT ESTABLISHED
[ After one more moment of hesitation, Rei holds out her right hand, palm up – revealing a symbol etched into the skin on her wrist that wasn't visible before. It starts to glow with an eerie golden light that washes over the whole coffee shop. The world seems to chug to a halt, if only for a second – and then after a flash of light, everything returns to normal. You feel completely different. You feel no different at all. A quick examination of your body may reveal a marking on you now, a unique symbol standing starkly against your skin, marking you as an Executor.
... And congratulations to you! Now that you've become an Executor, this means some very exciting things for you. If they haven't become aware of it already, becoming an Executor will trigger your characters' memory of their Executor Title as well as their very first Memoria Regain! On top of this, you will also get your starter power that your character will have at default as an Executor as well as one free Idea that you may use however you like. For power regains, please submit a comment on the power regain page with this comment linked as the qualifying thread. Do the same at the Memoria page for your Memoria regain!
From here, the intro of the game is more or less over – think of it as the big long cutscene right at the start. Now you can get into the meat of things! From here, players are free to make logs, toplevels, etc as they please and start really exploring Limbo and testing their powers. The entrance to the Underside will be remaining closed for the time being, but will be re-opening on August 28th, at which point our first Underside log will be going up! Look forward to it! ]
