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. ]

Sometimes I think it must be so much easier to accept the kind of world we live in and go through life an amoral jackass. And I hate that stupid kid who ever thought it would be easy to change a world like that. But given the chance, I'd do every stupid mistake and idiot decision over again as well.

[He shook his head, laughing bitterly.]

Nobody can save the world. All anyone can ever do is...try to make it a little better. If doing that much costs me my life, then I can't say I mind that. Thirty's already a good couple years longer than I expected to live anyway.

...Don't tell anybody I said that, and you've got a deal.

Longer than you expected to live? I hate to say it, but I can relate.

[When your day job involves fighting gods on the regular and heading to the edge of the universe to dance with death itself, there's only so much you can count on.]

Then it's a promise. And if--no, when--we get out of here, we can focus on making Kaisou a better place, too.

[She opens her eyes. When did she?]

If you'd like, you can also forget I said that.

[fionnuisce]

...I'd like that. I could sure as hell use the help, if my track record of doing things on my own is any indication. It can just be our secret and everyone else can go on thinking we're insufferably annoying if they like.

Good to end the thread here?

[poisontippedcure]

Deal.

[Rose cracks a small smile. There was no guarantee they'd go back, this could really be the end.]

[But at the end of the day, though she'd never admit it, she was an optimist. Despite her thorny demeanor, she always hoped for the best. And this time, there was something telling her they'd wake up another day, whatever evidence there was to the contrary.]
