Secret Log: PurgatoryCongrats 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. ]

With that revulsion would naturally come fear for seeing it again. For being at the other end of it.
... Even Diarmuid, brave and handsome Diarmuid ua Duibhne was frightened out of his mind. It was unclear whether him reaching out to Rose, laying a hand upon her shoulder was to reassure himself or her. Both, perhaps. He wouldn't mind both.]
The strongest among us would feel fear upon staring down the eyes of Death. We are still able to feel it even here. In some way, surely, that means we may survive this and emerge on the other side with our friends.

[Regardless of the intent, it helps.]
[She wants to see home again. She wants to see all of her friends again. She wants to see Vash's smile. She wants to see Takame's eyes light up when he sees Yusuke. She wants to see them all working at the Vogue, with Zulius at the center of the runway.]
[And now she doesn't know if she will. She can only hope, as much as it seems unlikely.]
I wouldn't be surprised if death here worked as strangely as everything else. But perhaps that's just how I'd want it to be--I'm not ready to say goodbye.

It is only thanks to this world I am able to speak with you. [He left that vague. It could mean anything, the fact that they were from separate worlds, the fact that he could speak at all. Who knows.
At this point he wouldn't hesitate to elaborate. He simply thanked whatever Gods presided over this world every day that he could make more friends without fear or guilt. To say nothing of the fact that this was how he was able to see and love Waver again.]
I've seen the world open around me for the first time since I lived as a human. I've seen what brings my new friends joy. If hoping that you do not need to say goodbye yet is foolish, then brand me as such until the day comes that I do bid this world farewell.

[Rose isn't going to think about the implications of that, because if she does, she'll be able to put the dots together. And she doesn't want to. That would be too sad.]
You're a good person, Diarmuid, thank you. I hope--no, I know--we'll see everyone again.
no subject
[Even in these somber moments, Diarmuid could pull his way with words back out for another's sake. The hope he gave to Rose was truly his own, after all, and it brought back more of himself.]
We will. Their cherished company will not be lost to us today.
