[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.

[The feed then switches off after some minor fumbling. Serious one, isn't he?]

Hello sir! Welcome to the wonderful world of Pokemon.

[ yeah.. she started it out like that. ]

Johto is not a part of purgatory as far as I'm aware! Though you have been sent here with an unknown purpose, I'm sure that you received a starter Pokemon and a goal? I'm assuming Pokemon Trainer by the sound of it. Please try not to worry, and I assure you this world is very friendly. The worst you might encounter is a grumpy Pokemon.

[ with that she releases a faint laugh and continues.. ]

I haven't been here for very long either, can I assume that you came from a world very different from this one?

Where you are is a matter of personal perspective. Some believe this place to be a slice of heaven, I'm sure there are others who feel it to be their own personal hell. For many, it is a second chance, one they may ... or may not, deserve. A higher power than mere men saw fit to bring you here, I would not waste the chance if I were you.

But be advised. The 'pets' you speak of are as intelligent as a man. They will understand you, though you may not understand them any better than the barking of a dog. You have been granted a companion, yes? Learn to rely on it, for weapons of other sorts are forbidden.

I don't think so...I mean, zubats are pretty awful and it kind of feels like a punishment to deal with them...but no.

[...the most dubious of squints]

Dante Alighieri? Well, I suppose some version of existence where the Divine Comedy was actual fact isn't terribly unlikely...

[...even if he doesn't look much like a poet to Kayneth's eyes.]

In any case, you've taken a detour into a completely different universe, I'm afraid. This place is no purgatory, though it may feel like one at times.

[Great, a religious nut. Blake has some experience with those, but none of it's good.]

Sorry to burst your bubble, buddy, but you're not dead. Whatever your sins are, the magic starfish don't give a damn.

[Uuuuh...]

It's more of an alternate universe than the afterlife, actually. I don't remember dying.

[Trance isn't laughing at Dante so much as with him. Even though he's not laughing. Still.]

No, they're supposed to be fun and a big adventure. Why do so many people end up here that don't know how to have fun?

[And here we have one silver haired young man. Contrary to his icons, he is now eighteen rather than fifteen.]

Purgatory? I doubt it. Not everyone who gets dragged here has sins weighing them down. There's no real pattern to when we do show up... we just do.

[Johto's kinda funny that way. Riku's had three years to adjust, at any rate.]

I wouldn't call battles penance, either. All the locals do it; it's just part of the culture.

[Oh boy, someone to talk religion with! It's been awhile since Ryuunosuke's gotten to share his views! He sits forward in his seat, hands laced in front of him. He looks incredibly pleased, but the expression doesn't quite reach his eyes.]

Nope, Johto isn't part of purgatory. You're in another world, sir!

[Now that that's out of the way...]

Why would you want to redeem yourself of sins? Don't you know that our God is a loving God? He loves everything that we do - both the good and bad! For every good person, there needs to be a bad one to balance it out! God loves the sinners as much as the saints - the sinners make things interesting for Him to watch!

[...Ryuunosuke, you're crazy.]

'God bless'? [ Here's that kunoichi from before, still all smiles, but curious. ] Are you alright?
