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...

[Medic seems totally oblivious to any discomfort that she might have caused whatsoever, just rocking back slightly on her heels and grinning.]

That's okay! Negative results are an important part of the scientific process. [She knows this in a deep way, the same way she knows how to walk and talk. It's got nothing to do with herself, it's just the truth. Why wouldn't anyone know that?]

So, think really hard: can you remember anything at all? When you think of you, not names or evens but just yourself, does any word or phrase come to mind?

[ she thinks very hard, just as she's told. she closes her eyes to think about it more. a few minutes pass without her saying anything while she thinks as hard as she can, and in that time, her face doesn't change at all. with her eyes closed, she looks even more like a doll.

finally, her eyes open again, apparently finished thinking about it. ]


... Nothing. [ hm. that's probably not a good answer. ] I'm sorry.
