Entry 02

That puts out the fires here. With the observations I have made here so far, though, I wouldn't be surprised if this downpour led to some type of flood.

I wonder what this city looked like before this all.

She totally hacked your message~

You're in a limbo between life and death. You're both, and neither at the same time.

... Human religions know little of the truth.

[battleofwills]

How metaphysical.

You speak as if you are outside the human race. Are you, then?

Hacked :)

[galacticboss]

All of life is a dream. Insubstantial, smoke and ashes. Everything is trapped between your perception and reality, space and time, and less so here, this cursed inbetween place, shadow world, mirrors and illusions. It's a disgrace, run by pitiful, grasping false gods.

The city was pathetic. Having been destroyed, there is potential for improvement.

[battleofwills]

That is...certainly an interesting view to take on life. Pessimistic, may I add. While I do not necessarily agree on that take on the living world, it seems to fit what I know of this place so far. I have yet to be here long enough to make any proper judgments, however, and I mean to observe longer before making any such assessments. I would rather avoid being transcendental about it all.

[galacticboss]

Realistic, rather. You will see. Or not. It may be beyond your grasp as well, as it seems to elude so many others.

[battleofwills]

Realism and pessimism do not always go hand in hand. In many occasions, yes, but believing that it is a constant tends to lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy, even if only of the mind.

[indefective]

The city .... looked ...

Ah, I didn't think I'd ever miss it, but ... it looked better than it does now. There were more standing buildings, and a huge forest. You can see some of the trees still.

[battleofwills]

Not many of them still stand. I can use my imagination, but even that only goes so far, as this place was already ablaze when I arrived.

[indefective]

Maybe I could draw you a picture? It was as dark and damp as it is now, though.

[battleofwills]

A picture? If you have the time, that would interest me.

Private//Unhackable - lol yes hacking. 8Db

Some people here have died, some haven't. I'm fairly certain I haven't.

On the subject of what the Church would think... well. Conflicts within the system have created divisions already, right? More than likely it'd just create another one.

[battleofwills]

What would be the point of those who are still living to be taken here?

What a division this would cause! A new religion entirely, perhaps. Only the name of Purgatory and the overall meaning bears any resemblance to the Christian Church.

The amusement of the gods, maybe. It's certainly not a new kind of idea.

... There's that, yes.

[battleofwills]

...Amusement.

However, there is no way for this to get back to the mortal world, unless--those who arrived here while still alive somehow are taken back. Even that, though, only entails one person's word against millennia of religion.

Yet religions have been founded on less, I suppose.
