[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.

Well it's...

_{[DON'T TELL HIM IT'S A VIDEO GAME, HENRY.]}

It's another world. We're all from different worlds--well, everybody you'll see talking on this thing anyway. Sometimes people from the same world will show up, but it's only happened to a few people I know...

...I am afraid I still do not understand. But, if there is a chance that God will send my Beatrice to guide me in this land then, then I...no. Her soul has been saved, and I shall not want her to leave her place in Heaven.

I will pray that this journey I take will be one without her. But I know in my heart that she is with me all the same.

_{[Henry wonders if this guy thinks he's dead...or if he's ACTUALLY dead. Heather has some dead friends. It's...kinda weird.]}


I don't...really get it either. It's weird. But I guess it could be worse...

_{[He's sorry that this Beatrice isn't with him, but where she is probably doesn't have Zubats or Gengar or other annoying things.]}

Maybe you won't have to stay here too long.

[You should ask him about that some day Henry. It's really quite an epic saga. It could make a beautiful poem, nearly a Divine Comedy.]

Hope, love and God's grace is all I have left. But it shall be enough. I will trust in Him for deliverance.

_{[Henry kind of wishes he could have that kind of comfort...but he's kind of got to kill a god when he goes home so...the photographer just nods respectfully.]}

You're probably one of the most chill people I've met dealing with this place.

I cannot think of any place worse than the Inferno. Here there is light, happiness, and much hope for what may come. It is a welcome change.
