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...

Perhaps this is simply a cultural difference.

[Not one she has to like, though.]

Violence can solve basically any problem if you use enough of it, though. That isn't so much a culture thing as a basic fact of life.

[...she opens her mouth, then closes it.

Then opens it again.]


Loneliness! One cannot solve that problem with violence.

If you beat up on a training dummy enough to get familiar with it, it's almost like a friend.

...could it be that your only friends are training dummies?

I wouldn't know! I don't remember anything!

[Even without conclusive data, the answer is probably "yes."]
