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...

I'm... not supposed to forget mine. Really, really not supposed to. Not knowing it is bad, I...

Augh! And that's all I know! Damnit, why can't anything about this bullshit be straightforward!
emberserker: Snapping at somebody. (shut)

[personal profile] emberserker 2020-08-01 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't even help! Of course not knowing your name is bad. At least you've got something to call yourself in the meantime.
pioailurophobia: (Grrrrrrrrr)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
No, I know, it's just-

Gah, forget it.

...

That was some really bad word choice, wasn't it.
emberserker: Uncharacteristically subdued and smiling with lowered eyes. (nnn...)

[personal profile] emberserker 2020-08-01 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever you meant by it, do you suppose it's relevant here?
pioailurophobia: (Le Sigh)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not.

But it's still driving me absolutely batty.

What about you? You got any screaming instincts telling you that something is wrong here beyond the obvious, or am I just even crazier than you?
emberserker: Pleading her abilities. (trust me it's fine)

[personal profile] emberserker 2020-08-01 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Excuse me? There's nothing wrong with me. If you're right about anything, it's that something is wrong with this place. That must be why it's so crowded.
pioailurophobia: (Smug Toof)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't not remembering anything make us all a little crazy by default?
emberserker: Stern annoyance. (riiiiiiiight)

[personal profile] emberserker 2020-08-01 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, really? By whose definition?
pioailurophobia: (Default)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Anybody with common sense.

I wouldn't trust somebody claiming to have zero memory of who they are or why they're here, but hey, we don't have any choice now, do we?
emberserker: Chibi grump. (why life)

[personal profile] emberserker 2020-08-01 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think? Even you don't know who you are.

not a gagtag

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Trust no one. Not even yourself.

[Are they... they making a joke?]
emberserker: Arms crossed, standing by a pillar. (quick comment)

[Wolfsbane groans and rubs her temples.]

Come now. We aren't going to get anything done just standing around.

Aw, come on! Lighten up a little! [Kingslayer laughs, slapping Wolfsbane's back as they move forward.] Seriously, though, what places have you checked already? We should start with areas that haven't been scouted yet.
