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...

[Mordred looks at Pascal, looks at their captive, looks at Pascal again, sighs, and drops the Spectre.]

Yeah, I figured.

This is the fourth one I've held up and the fourth one that hasn't reacted at all.

This sucks.

Yeaaaah, they're sorta. Spaced out or something? I've only seen a few people who aren't totally zoned out and just moving all creepy-like.

... Kinda like zombies or something, actually!
pioailurophobia: (Incredulous)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
...

Aren't we zombies, if you think about it?

[Kingslayer looks legitimately concerned now.]
pride_of_amarcia: (Confidence)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-01 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Nope!

I mean, unless you wanna like, eat my brains. But I don't wanna eat yours! That'd be kinda bad.

[LOGIC! Sort of.]
pioailurophobia: (A Rare Smile)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm good on brains.

I'll let you know if I start feeling peckish, though.
pride_of_amarcia: (Light Smile)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-01 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Anyways. I'm, uh...

... Huh. I just realized I can't remember my name. Or a lot else. That's weird. Let's go with, uh...

Brainiac? That doesn't make me sound like I'm obsessed with eating brains right? It kinda sounds right...
pioailurophobia: (Why are you like this)

i almost said "shoved into a locker" but then i realized that would be an anachronism

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
The only thing that pops into my head when I try to think of my name is Kingslayer.

So I guess that'll do it for now.

And nah, it just makes you sound like you got shoved into closets a lot by bullies when you were a kid.
pride_of_amarcia: (Confidence)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-01 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sounds about right! Not that I, uh, can remember. But given how the library distracted me for like an hour easily and I had to make sure I walked away from it, I'm proooobably that kinda nerd!

... You're not gonna try and shove me in a closet, right?
pioailurophobia: (Then Perish)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Tempting offer, but I'll pass.

For now.

I'm more concerned about what in the blazes is going on right now.
pride_of_amarcia: (Light Smile)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-01 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean, besides just the 'we're dead' part?

... I just realized, you've got your full armor, huh? I wonder if we show up in what we were dressed in when we died?

[Which in Brainiac's case, would be... A lot of pockets, among other bits of note.]
pioailurophobia: (Default)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That scans, I think. I totally seem like the person who'd die standing on the battlefield in full plate, huh?
pride_of_amarcia: (Confidence)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-01 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Or something like that.

... Seems like it'd be awkward wearing it around here where there's not a fight, though. Maybe that's just me?
pioailurophobia: (Default)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[DO NOT TAKE OFF THE ARMOR, whispers a part of Kingslayer's mind insistently. They shiver.]

I'm not sure if I'm even wearing anything under here, so I think I'll pass for now. I doubt you'd like to see me strip naked in the middle of a huge crowd.

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-01 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)


... You know. Point.

Hopefully you do have something under there, though. Otherwise getting something to sleep in could be kinda awkward?
pioailurophobia: (Default)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I can sleep standing up in here. Don't need a bed. Just sorta... lock all the joints into place, close my eyes, and conk out.

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-01 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)


... Sounds kinda uncomfortable. I'd rather be under a tree or something. But that's me, so, you do you I guess?
pioailurophobia: (Why are you like this)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-01 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...Do you usually sleep in trees?
pride_of_amarcia: (Adorkable)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-01 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, just under them! I mean, I climb them to look at stuff all the time, but branches aren't as comfy as the ground, you know?
pioailurophobia: (Default)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-02 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair.

Nothing can beat a comfy bed, after a longass time march-resting or sleeping under trees. Even when you're wearing full armor.
pride_of_amarcia: (Confidence)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-03 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, yeah. But when you're on the field working for weeks and weeks on end and don't wanna bother with a tent or hammock or anything that takes time to set up you could spend working...
pioailurophobia: (Just Like Father)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-03 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah. After a few days of forced march, learning how to conk out whenever and wherever you need to is a really valuable skill, too.
