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. ]

Royal Veil, investigation I guess

[A very purple and pink girl has been somewhat startled by the same sudden realization as everyone else, but she's not letting it get her down! She's pretty sure, for reasons she doesn't know, that a methodical investigation will reveal what's happening!

Not that... she's really sure what that entails. But if she just walks along the street, that more or less counts, right?

Her "methodical investigation" takes her to other threads with various different people, and then to the library. Aha! This looks like a good place to get information! Time to search for any book that looks like it might have something relevant.

By walking up and down each aisle looking at the spines of the books and seeing if anything jumps out at her. This is very efficient.

She's probably going to end up with a bunch of completely irrelevant books, isn't she? Look, she's already got two sci-fi novels and The Joy of Cooking.]

[As Veil turns the corner into the next aisle, she'll encounter what seems to be a... fort?]

[Someone has built up stacks and stack of various books into some kind of small but surprisingly architecturally sound hut, interspaced with cushions and blankets from the sitting area. Slowly, Medic's face peeks up from above the front wall.]


Hello! I unlive here now.

[She's so happy.]

My! I'd not expected to find anyone's residence in here.

[Yes, she's just... taking that at face value without question.]

I hope you don't mind my visiting, then.
mementomoritz: that someone is me (did somebody say science?)

Oh no, you're a very welcome guest! Are you looking for anything?

[Medic herself has been trying to find books on history, specifically anything that pertains to the history of this place as opposed to life back on Earth.]

I had hoped to find something that would explain why we are so lacking in memories. Though I must admit to being unsure what sort of book would have such an explanation.
mementomoritz: save data? (delete and restart)

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-08-01 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too! [Research twinsies?] I thought maybe if I found a book about this place, we could at least know more about how it worked. That way, we'd know if amnesia is something that's supposed to happen when you're dead, or if it's just us!

[The question is, are there any books about that here?]
