[It's been around two weeks and finally Dante's making his first post on the network. He still seems rather tense around the Gear, almost as if he's expecting some demon to pop out of the screen, but two weeks isn't enough to catch up on nearly 900 years of technological advancement.]

Good day. My name is Dante Alighieri and I have been here for twelve days. The last sight I remember before I awoke here was a tall mountain in the distance, it's peak stretching far into the clouds in the sky. I had thought to begin my ascent, to submit myself to further trials and redeem myself of my sins, but before I had yet to take the first step I found myself here instead.

Wherever here may be.

I must ask; is this Johto part of Purgatory? Are these children's battles and pets part of my penance?

Even if you do not have an answer, I would like to hear of your thoughts.

Thank you for your time and God bless.

Then...

You are from a different world, someplace yet in the heavens, but situated along the way. A between point, perhaps?

Yes! That's it exactly! [She claps, completely delighted. That's quite the leap of logic for someone to make if they'd never even heard of other planets before. She finds herself strangely even more proud.]

I cannot imagine how it is like to live with the stars. I have spent many nights observing them, especially during my journey home.

You must find it strange to walk on earth with us mortals.

It's nice, really. I like meeting all kinds of people, and most of the ones here aren't ones I ever could have met back home.

But I do miss being up there, sometimes, too. The view is amazing.

Then perhaps if we should meet, would you be kind to share a story or two with me? You must have some interesting ones to tell. While most of my tales are dark, I do have some that are of a lighter note as well.

I'd love to! And I'd love to hear yours, too, no matter how light or dark they are. I'll probably be traveling soon, so maybe we will see each other.
