Where...am I? It's...so pretty. My hand...it's back...

[there's a soft sigh, a hint of sadness in her voice]

It has to be heaven. No other explanation really. Mama and Papa...they're here too, right?

I'll be with my family again, right? We'll...we'll all be reunited. I'll be with Mama and Papa again! I...I won't be alone any more. We'll be

[humallelujah]

... This is Template.

[loveforaday]

Template...? Not heaven?

[humallelujah]

No, I'm sorry...

[loveforaday]

...I see.

? Why are you sorry?

[vodkadrinksyou]

Welcome to Template. You're out of luck. If your parents are here, they probably got taken, too.

[Very crazy Russia is very crazy and on a bit of a bender about now. Fair warning.]

[loveforaday]

So it's not heaven? Then Mama and Papa probably aren't here....

[Her voice is filled with sadness, the death of her family never really went well with her.]

red = russian, just fyi~

[vodkadrinksyou]

There's no heaven. If there is, it's not here. I'm sorry, but it's true.

[That's what happens when you talk to a Godless Communist(tm)]

They probably aren't. A lot of people don't have them here. You're in company.

[loveforaday]

[she looks up and blinks curiously]

... That language was not English.

So what exactly is 'Template' then?

[heaven_piercer]

As the others said, this isn't heaven. It's a city called Template. It looks like we've been brought here from different places and times.

[loveforaday]

Different places and different times?

...That's...possible?

[heaven_piercer]

Seems so. I've been here for two months, but I still don't really get it.

[loveforaday]

Well I guess there are a lot of things that can never be explained.

Ah! May I ask for your name? You seem to know more than me about this place...

[thatidiotchosen]

Man, what a time to bring in a new one. This place is losing points quick, real quick.

You okay there, hunny?

[loveforaday]

Is this place bad? I know it's not heaven...

Ah, yes I am - ... [she's definitely confused]

Hunny?

[thatidiotchosen]

Bad miiight be putting it too lightly.

And yep, just as I thought! Listen, I know there isn't a lot of time- but, one: I'm Zelos Wilder, and two: it's usually pretty safe indoors, so if you've got one of those keys, I'll help you find your house.

[loveforaday]

...so that man was right? Will it be safe if I tried to leave?

Keys...ah yes! I do have a key. I have a house?

[kryzius]

Ah... I'm sorry, it's not...

B-but it's... nice. In some ways.

[loveforaday]

It is? A lot of people have been telling me it's not safe here.

[kryzius]

It's safer than where I was before, and it's nice and warm and there's good food and things like that.

[loveforaday]

...I see. I have met a lot of nice people.
