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 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.

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. 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]

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. Uh...sorry for putting you through that.

[bebest]

[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]

Yeah...I'll try.

[Not that Moxxie trying to not die always looks like trying not to die.]

[bebest]

[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]

[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.]
