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.

[Tch. As if that's what he needs. A reminder of how they're better than him. How how pointless and embarrassing his death was.]

The game was rigged from the start. It doesn't say that much about us.

[unreachableside]

Hmph. You're not wrong.

... Still. I choose to believe in them. You are welcome to believe in nothing if you like. It makes no difference to me.

[He has a soft spot for Venti and Lapis, but he's not going to come out and say that.]

[bleakdecember]

[All this... belief and trust in the strength of each other. It makes him sick. He's never relied on anyone but himself.]

Well, I'm not satisfied to just sit around and wait. But I suppose I'll be quieter so you all can sulk in peace.

[unreachableside]

[Blade knows what that's like, but man, these people. They have a way of burrowing in.

And they're stubborn as hell, too.]

You can try the weird food if you want something to do.

There's a soda that looks like bubble tea. [He's talking about Orbitz.]

[bleakdecember]

[...

What?

He's too startled by the change in subject to do anything but blink.

...]

What's it taste like?

[unreachableside]

Like Jones soda. Looks like a lava lamp.

[Sometimes the distraction tactic is the best tactic. Worked for Silver Wolf.]

[bleakdecember]

[Hey he has way more of an attention span than Silver Wolf. But he does have a soft spot for sweets, and more importantly...]

Is it caffeinated?

[unreachableside]

Unfortunately not. But there's coffee in the cupboards if you want that. I assume Trader Joes' barista blend isn't around anymore, since I've never seen it before.

[He'd rather drink coffee than tea.]

Seems like this is a place for dead brands as well as people.

[bleakdecember]

[He wants to stay angry. He wants to be furious and struggle against the unfairness of all this.

...But the concept of a kitchen full of dead brands sparks his curiosity too much.

So he turns to the cupboards and begins investigating, clearly going to start a pot of coffee.
