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. ]

Brainiac | OTA, Planning to Investigate!

Welp. I bit it. I'm gonzers. And now I'm here. Zorz.

... That didn't quite work.

[A red-and-white haired girl was just kinda stepping along, weirdly casual for someone who's just realized they're dead.]

Of course, that leaves just one very important question: Now what?!

[And off she goes, triapsing around. She has this feeling something else is really wrong about this, beyond that most of the people she saw around here were being all creepy-repeat-their-actions and maybe if she saw someone who wasn't, that'd help! Maybe a lot! Trying to investigate alone was...

... Eh, it'd do! But for now, it was just going off in random directions and trying to talk to people! Also, gawking at the really crazy aesthetic of the place.]

[Once Pascal gets past the stupid things like how they're obviously not zombies, she's going to try for the library. Surely there's books about this city in there somewhere, right?]

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-01 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)


[Suffice it to say, once Pascal spends a fair bit of time distracted by a few other books, she exits, disappointed at the library failing her!!!!

Also she put everything she grabbed back in the 'reshelve' spot, because she could swear she'd heard something about doing that. Nothing gets checked out, as she heads on to look around the next first interesting spot she runs into - the wishing fountain!]


Hmm... I wonder if anyone collects the money?

[Brainiac considers grabbing it all, honestly, because that could buy a lot of noms! Food's nice! She hasn't encountered how the conbini doesn't take money yet...

But, after some random poking and prodding around gets her nothing, she waltzes off again, thinking to try poking one of the random spectres going around to check if they're solid like the other waking ones like her, before trying...

She stops in front of the bath house, stops... Then waltzes right past towards the Coffee Shop. Maybe there'll be some waking people there, or someone she can ask about something??? That'd be nice!]

[Hope sees Brainiac, and watches her for a while. It seems that she's talking to Spectres at random? After a bit longer, and deciding that she's not a threat, he approaches her.] I don't think they'll be able to answer your questions. I've already tried. [He shakes his head.] I've noticed you've been at this for some time. Do you have any plans?
pride_of_amarcia: (Confidence)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-03 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
... Honestly, not yet!

[As Brainiac hears Hope, she spins toward him, her scarf dramatically fluttering for maybe a second before it just kinda droops back down to its normal spot.]

I've only just started in trying to learn. Uh, actually, much of anything about anything! I can't remember much, so it's kinda hard to know where to start.
herowalksalone: (what are you made of?)

[personal profile] herowalksalone 2020-08-04 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Brainiac is probably the most upbeat person Hope's met in Limbo so far, and it kind of catches him off-guard.] I... see. Have you been in any of the buildings yet? There's a store around the corner that has very weird items in stock. [He's not going to admit that he's already spent a good amount of time in there just wandering around, looking at what the denizens of Limbo consider "normal."]

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-05 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
A few places. The library's pretty full, though it has nothing on this place itself so far! Which... Honestly is really weird, but I'm not questioning it too much just yet!
herowalksalone: (if there's no chance at all)

[personal profile] herowalksalone 2020-08-09 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[The library... He sort of tilts his head.] Were you able to read any of the books? I've been having a hard time deciphering some things. But other things have been legible, like the weird stuff I saw for sale in the conbini. [Ponder, ponder.] I wonder if that's why you haven't been able to find anything related to this place? That particular information might be in gibberish.
pride_of_amarcia: (Interested)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-09 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. That would make sense possibly, yeah! Though for me it was more like I just couldn't find anything relevant.

Maybe the books go easier for me because I was like, an avid reader when I was alive somehow? We'd need to see if there's books I can read and others can't for that to make sense, though!

[personal profile] herowalksalone 2020-08-12 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
It could also be that I'm just over-thinking things. [He shakes his head.] What kinds of books are relevant to our situation, anyway? Guides to the afterlife? I don't think anyone's gone before us into this place. [He hasn't met Rei yet.]

You liked to read? [Hope pauses to think, and eventually shrugs in defeat.] I guess I didn't. The idea of books isn't bringing me any flashes of nostalgia, like some other things have. Anyway, I don't mind following you to the library if you want to investigate.

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-12 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, your choice! I gave checking it out a go, and didn't get a lot out of it yet, but it's at least kinda relaxing so that helps soothe the nerves a bit?

I mean, there's still something up here, everyone I've talked to who isn't some kinda.. Something?... has said that much.
