They do. More than they want to torture us, apparently.

[preordain]

Well... some of it makes sense, I think, but for the most part this just seems like a highly inconvenient continuation of life than a punishment for our sins.

[outsidebones]

Indeed. And some of the people here seem quite - I don't know. I can't imagine their sins were particularly substantial. Perhaps it is a philosophical experiment - whether it is possible to be too stupid to truly sin.

[preordain]

Unless their definition of what a sin is is a lot vaguer and more broad than ours.

[ can you go to hell for jaywalking? littering??? how stupid can this get. ]

Either way, we're stuck here for now.

[outsidebones]

So it seems. Do you intend to accept that?

[preordain]

Not particularly. Even if I am actually dead, there's still a lot I need to do.

[ also, even if he didn't, this afterlife sucks ]

[outsidebones]

Yes. Quite.

[and also this afterlife absolutely sucks.]

I don't plan to spend eternity here. I will make my way out, or they will have to send me someplace worse to contain me.

[preordain]

At the very least, it sounds like no matter what, this is the group we're stuck with. They don't let different groups intermingle.

[ a little odd, but he doesn't really plan to stay here long enough to figure out why hell is organized the way that it is. so. ]

So that's one thing to consider working with.

[outsidebones]

And how do you see yourself "working with" it?

[preordain]

[ hm... ]

Not enough information yet.

[outsidebones]

Agreed.

[she sighs, in some ways kind of relieved to hear him say that.]

[preordain]

It's frustrating, but I suppose we can't expect to figure out everything right away given there are things we don't have access to yet. Like the dock.

[ get them off this shitty island. ]
