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. ]

...I don't think I'd call this stress free, Babe. That was pretty stressful!!!

[He had a really bad time and he doesn't know what's worse: the idea he might not come back and the people he cares about have lost him, or the fact he WILL and he has to explain to them that he fucking died.]

I don't know, it's pretty terrifying already, I don't wanna watch more people die, Moxx.
not_a_possum: (Um...)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-10-22 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...okay, yeah. That was still pretty stressful. And terrifying. But I'm sure we'll feel better about all of that later!

[That's overly optimistic on his part.]

Yeah, I guess I see your point. It's harder for me not knowing what's going on back there, though.
bebest: (That in negligee or formal)

[personal profile] bebest 2023-10-22 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...Okay, Babe, I know this is the second time around for you and everything but I need you to turn down the optimism just a skosh for me while I have an internal breakdown about the whole being dead thing.

[He pinches his thumb and forefinger together. A tiny bit, Sir. But hey, at least he's standing up and...wandering over to the snacks. Maybe he can just eat himself into a sugar coma. Do dead people have sugar comas? He doesn't know but he damn sure is gonna try!]

I mean...okay, yeah, that's true. I guess. I reserve the right to look away when someone dies though. I'm just about full UP on that one.
not_a_possum: (Oh crumbs)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-10-23 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Right. Yeah, I can do that.

[Is it optimism or refusing to process how horrifying it was? Doesn't matter. He's toning it down.]

No problem. The parts where people die are pretty horrifying to watch.

[The part where Zulius died was terrible and heart wrenching...but he doesn't have to think about that. Zulius is here now. Nothing else they see on that screen will be as bad going forward.]
bebest: (It makes no difference)

[personal profile] bebest 2023-10-24 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, Babe, 'preciate it.

[Zulius would bet GOOD money on the latter. Still, he appreciates the toning down.]

Yeah. I uh... saw enough of that for realises. [He thought it was bad enough KNOWING Moxxie had died this year. Witnessing it happen was...so, so much worse.]

...Seriously. Are you okay? That was- well, that sucked. What happened to you.

[If he can focus on how Moxxie is then no one can ask how he's doing, it's flawless logic. ]
not_a_possum: (Oh that's gotta hurt)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-10-25 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[There's a second where he starts to process how he's doing, and for second some of the fear and panic he felt while he was being killed creeps into his features, and his tail starts to wrap around him, almost protectively. Then he blinks a couple times snapping out of it.]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
bebest: (And each bangle)

[personal profile] bebest 2023-10-25 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zulius is just gonna watch that, the sloooooowly raise his eyebrows, folding his arms.]

Moxxie. This is my not believing you face. You wanna try that one again? I've known you way too long for that to work on me, c'mon.
not_a_possum: (Um...)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-10-27 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I...

[He pauses, considering whether he could try again and sound more convincing this time, but he figures if Zulius wasn't buying the first attempt, he won't buy a second one no matter how convincing Moxxie makes himself sound.]

I should be fine. I've died before. I know I come back now. I really don't see any reason I wouldn't be fine.

[And yet...there's part of him that doesn't want to think about what happened to him.]
bebest: (Sometimes the ace)

[personal profile] bebest 2023-10-27 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zulius absolutely will not buy this, not even slightly. He's giving MOxxie a very pointed, very judgemental kind of look. ]

Okay, but how are you feeling right now? Like, right this instant? Because that's, y'know, kind of the priority here.
not_a_possum: (Oh that's gotta hurt)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-10-29 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess...I'm kind of freaked out? But I don't know why. I should be used to this by now.
bebest: (Of life's complexion)

[personal profile] bebest 2023-10-29 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean honestly? I would be super, DUPER worried about you if you were used to dying, Moxx. That's super not normal.
not_a_possum: (Default)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-10-31 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
I guess, but I've already done it once before, right? That I remember, anyway. If we're reincarnated, that means I must have died in the life we're getting all our memories from, and I remember one time I got a flashback from a different life after eating some fish. That means I've died at least four times at this point, even if I only remember two deaths.
bebest: (From a different angle)

[personal profile] bebest 2023-10-31 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I-

[Holy shit. He hadn't even taken into account that, they being reincarnations, mean they've already died once. Good goose, this means he's actually on death number two??? ]

...Wow. I am just gonna file that we've already died to exist thing in my I'm not gonna think about that box. Yup.

ANYway, all of that is besides the point because it's still a bad time. Like I don't think it gets any easier after each death. It's not like it's a facial wax, Babe.
not_a_possum: (Oh crumbs)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-11-01 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. I mean, I knew it was a bad time, but...I guess I was kind of hoping it would be something that would get easier each time. Especially since I seem dangerously close to making it a habit.
bebest: (I don't need no dragon)

[personal profile] bebest 2023-11-02 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I have noticed and would SUPER like it not to be a habit, Moxx. I love you a lot and it sucks every single time, trust me. It will never get easier for me. Or anyone who cares about you. Makes sense it wouldn't for you, either.
not_a_possum: (Oh crumbs)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-11-03 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Uh...sorry for putting you through that.
bebest: (It's me and not you)

[personal profile] bebest 2023-11-03 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sucks in a deep breath.]

It's fine, it's fine. It's not like you planned it. But also, you know, real bad. We should do way less of that if we get another chance.
not_a_possum: (Oh that's gotta hurt)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-11-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...I'll try.

[Not that Moxxie trying to not die always looks like trying not to die.]
bebest: (I'll scream and I'll cry)

[personal profile] bebest 2023-11-08 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeha, you know what? Moxxie is gonna get a Grade A Zulius Hug. The other feels he really deserves one at this point.]

Good, thank you. That's like, literally all I ask.
not_a_possum: (Smitten)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-11-09 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Moxxie returns the hug, grateful for how understanding Zulius is, even though as far as he's aware he's been trying not to die this whole time.]
