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...

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. Hasn't been a lot to find though, except--did you go into that one weird convenience store?
emberserker: Angry but not over the edge yet. (i TOLD you)

The one that goes on forever? How does that even work?

I don't know! I thought I was going crazy, all the stuff kept getting weirder! There was a bag that just...had the concept of yellow, I think??
emberserker: Stern look. (this is why you're wrong)

I'm surprised anybody hasn't completely broken at this rate.

Maybe that's what happens. You wake up, go nuts trying to understand anything here, and just drift out again.

What manner of afterlife is that? It's pointless if that's the case, and I'm not going to accept that.

I'm not either! It's just...this is so frustrating!! Are we really the first ones to have woken up at all??
