Purgatory.

Is this some sort of farce? Fire, smoke--This is no Purgatory, but very nearly the notion of Hell that has been instilled into us.

I suppose that I should not have been expecting anything gre

This is to be eternity, then?

And what is this contraption?

[vodkacomrade]

It is very much Purgatory. We are experiencing a drought that has caused the fire.

[battleofwills]

A drought in Purgatory.

[vodkacomrade]

Anything is possible.

[battleofwills]

Hardly what I had expected; however, no mortal man could truly "expect" what is to come after death.

A mystery.

What a shame, to be able to answer it, and have it be too late to be of any use.

[borninjuly]

Well until you atone.

[battleofwills]

Atone?

[borninjuly]

Well...for your sins, they say.

[battleofwills]

That does make sense, considering what I was told that this place was.

And where to after this?

[evolvedtoomuch]

Yeah, it's pretty much Hell. Welcome.

[battleofwills]

Thank you. I suppose.

I must admit, despite what was generally thought, I imagined things such as Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven as a sort of state rather than a physical realm. This proves me wrong, though this place is not exactly what was generally thought of as either of the former, either.

[evolvedtoomuch]

There's usually less fire, I have to say. Maybe this is their idea of a holiday weekend.

Yeah, well. Surprise.

[battleofwills]

A surprise indeed. And what is this place like without the flames that seem to be currently burning the city down?

Nataku does not help Russia's cause.

[lacking_heart]

The Gods call this place Purgatory.

[battleofwills]

Gods?

[lacking_heart]

The man speaking to you below me. And some others, I believe.

[battleofwills]

More than one god, and I am talking to one?

Hah. This gets better and better.

[thylas]

I'm not much for long explanations, they should have given you what you need when you woke up.

But this is certainly Purgatory. There is just the matter of a drought that gives it that rather hell-like feel.

Also, how would you possibly know what Hell, truly Hell is like unless you have been there.

[battleofwills]

Purgatory is susceptible to droughts. Interesting.

I never claimed to know for certain, only what was generally thought. You almost make it sound as if you know what Hell is like, yourself.

[thylas]

Purgatory experiences seasonal changes and the weather as any other, typical place.

I know what a hell is like. It is far less pleasant than this place.

[battleofwills]

Fascinating. The fires make it difficult to make out, but this place even seems as if...just a simple city.

How would you know that?
