Secret Log: Purgatory

Congrats on your untimely death! After you die, you will awaken in a very drab waiting room. The only other people in the waiting area seems to be the others who also died back at the cabin. On the wall, there is a sign that reads: Welcome to Purgatory! Please take a number and wait while your soul is processed for its next destination. Thank you. Sure enough, under the sign there is one of those old number ticket machines.

From there, there is nothing to do but... wait! There are plenty of old chairs to sit in (some are even comfortable), along with stacks of magazines that are all discontinued. If you get hungry, there is a cabinet and fridge that is full of various discontinued snacks and drinks. Fancy yourself a New Coke or Pepsi Blue?

Finally, there is an old fashioned tv and antennae. You can use this either to watch some cancelled shows or watch a feed of what's going on back at the cabin. You'll have to deal with adjusting the antenna regularly and bad reception though.

That's about it for purgatory though! Enjoy your stay.

[OOC: This is the log for all the characters that die during the October Horror plot! It's up to you if your character is still affected by the roles given to them by the plot. Please do not discuss or link this log anywhere outside the Purgatory chat until October 15th. After October 15th, this log will be shown to everyone else. ]

[He doesn't mind at all, he'll let her lean. He's still gross and messy from the...everything, and his back has definitely got a pink tinge to the white from her blood. But it's fine. They can just not perceive it. He'll put a comforting arm around her. Now he's got whatever the Facility put into him out of his system, this is a lot more natural now. He hates they took that from him. That his last conversation with Venti was so cold because of it. He can't undo that now.]

...I mean, yeah. I guess. The stupid thing was I knew you were gone but...I dunno. [He raises his shoulders in a little shrug.] I guess I just really wanted it to be different.

[And he fooled himself into a trap. And got himself killed. And Edward bitten. ]

I hear you, I super hate all of this. Do you think the people in the city even know we're gone? They've got to have noticed by now, right?

I'm not sure I'd call it stupid. I have no doubt I'd fall for the same trick.

[Not that she'd ever admit this when she was alive, of course. She was smarter than that. That's what she always told herself. That was the standard she always held herself to.]

[But in the end, this is what she was. Another idiotic hero.]

I doubt it. Something must have prevented them from realizing. If it hadn't, don't you think we would have seen Vash and Takame by now?

...OKay, maybe more wishful thinking.

[He desperately wanted to believe Rose hadn't died. That he'd been mistaken and maybe there was life in her and he hadn't watched a second person who was close as family to him die in as many days. He wasn't so lucky, and now he's dead too, but he doesn't regret for a single second running to her aid, even if he knows it was a trap. He'd never regret that. ]

...Yeah, that's true. They would have for sure noticed we weren't at work. ..Hope they're okay.

[Rose doesn't say anything, she just gives Zulius a hug. She understands why he went after the voice--she would have done the same, after all.]

[Just like she doesn't regret saving him. Even if it ended up being for naught in the end, she doesn't regret it one bit. She'd do it again if she had to.]

I'm sure they're fine. They're more capable of taking care of themselves than the rest of us.

[Is that a reference to their current situation, or just a general observation? Who can say.]

I do miss them, though.

[bebest]

[He'll return that hug, wrapping his arms around her and giving her a lil' squeeze. He really needed that. This is not something he expected he'd need to figure out how to process.]

I mean...yeah, that's true. They probably won't set fire to the theatre while we're not there.

[Probably. He gives her back a little pat. ]

Me too. Moxxie better be super wrong and we come back to life because I am soooo not ready to give all that up yet. We got a lot of people there to worry about.
