001. Arrival

[calzonewithlegs]

This is Purgatory, right? It ain't what I expected, I guess. I always thought it'd be a lot more grey, kinda cloudy here, but it's not really so bad. Got a good room, at least, and the food's alright. Could be better, but eh, can't complain, y'know?

I just wish-- Oh, Madonn', Karen...Jesus, or... Heavenly Father, or whoever's in charge here,

Heaven? Oh god, don't tell me you're another Papist?

This is accompanied by an unseen shrug!

[calzonewithlegs]

I guess so.

Worst trolling victim EVER

[stayandgloat]

You guess so?

...

That's rather noncommittal considering you're comfortable writing letters to Jesus or "Heavenly father".

PREPARE FOR DISAPPOINTMENT, ASSHOLE

[calzonewithlegs]

Papist just ain't a word I hear used too much.

[calzonewithlegs]

Madonn'.

C'mon, I'm Italian. You get one good guess with that right there.

[calzonewithlegs]

I'm Catholic.

Say... If you ain't a Christian or nothin', then what're you doing in Purgatory?

[kurt_bamf]

Ja, it could be considered a Purgatory. That depends, my friend, of which role you are: Inmate or Warden. If the former, then yes, the description is apt, as you are likely here to atone for past sin or sins.

[calzonewithlegs]

How do I find out which one I am?

[kurt_bamf]

Wardens usually receive a file on the Barge and all its workings; also, they've spoken to the Admiral prior to arriving.

[calzonewithlegs]

I guess that makes it easy then. Never done time in my life, and now I'm an inmate in the hereafter.

[k_lee_frye]

Welcome to the Barge. My name's Kaylee and I'm one of the Wardens here.

I never really looked at this place as purgatory, but I can't say I know much about it, so I can't help you there. This is a place of learnin, tho, "turning over a new leaf", I guess is one way to put it.

But you'll be taken care of, here.

Is there anything I can help you with?

[calzonewithlegs]

You people, with this 'warden' stuff again!

Thanks for the offer, but I just wanna see my wife. I mean, my first wife.

[k_lee_frye]

I'm sorry, but I don't really know how that works. I just know that you can't see her while you're here. At least I don't think so.

You said she's in heaven?

[calzonewithlegs]

She's gotta be. My Karen was an angel.

[young_idealist]

I'm not certain what problem these other people have with your faith. I'm relatively new myself, but I wanted to say before you got your hopes up too high that it isn't likely your Karen is here. She's passed on yes?

[calzonewithlegs]

Thanks, mister. I don't get it neither.

Yeah, she... passed a few years back, my sweet Karen.

[young_idealist]

Then she's safe and happy where she is. Be thankful for that.

[calzonewithlegs]

Yeah... I gotta believe that she's in Heaven.
