Hell is repetition.

But Hell can make you strong.

[Someones back after an extremely short departure. And isn't very happy about it.]

A survivor of Hell?

[alephbet]

Most of us know that.

[firstofthefallen]

[A survivor. He has to laugh a little at that. He wants, so badly, to claim he is not just its survivor, but its conqueror. And yet as common as lies we're to him this is something Lucofer can't yet lie about.]

You might say that.

Surviving it only to return to it again and again

[firstofthefallen]

No. Many mistake other things, trivial things and ideas, for Hell.

Even fewer experience it.

[And yes. He realizes how hypocritical he is that he's telling this to you, Aleph.]

Then I'm sorry to say you must have gotten out of the frying pan and into the fire.

[alephbet]

Most of us are from pretty unusual backgrounds. I'd say that there's more of a likelihood that we'll understand you than if you asked a random group back home.

Isn't that always the way? No one truly escapes. Freedom is a delusion the mind creates for comfort in Hell.

Re: [text/anon]

[firstofthefallen]

There is comfort in believing escape is possible.

I do believe escape is possible. But it's hard won. And one victory is not sufficient to gain it.

[firstofthefallen]

You assume a great deal.

True I believe there are more here possible of knowing it then there are at home. But I am sure there are jus as many who could be weak, and buckle, here as there would there.

Yet again.

But I will brave this place again if necessary. Whether here or there. The place does not matter, only victory.

[alephbet]

The longer they stay, the more chance they have to become stronger. Or if they buckle, to recover. I believe that practically anyone can become stronger if put through the right experiences.

[firstofthefallen]

They could. The question is if they will.

And in the case of most, they won't.

[morituramfides]

Do you intend to challenge our oh-so-kind benefactors?

I'd pay to see that!

[alephbet]

Then the ones who will will pick up the slack for them here.

[firstofthefallen]

Will you?

[firstofthefallen]

In time.

And as imperative as time can be only a fool goes into battle with a for he does not yet understand.

[alephbet]

I will. Ask anyone who knows me. And others will.

[Voice/Private]

[firstofthefallen]

Just as you always have.

For good or for ill.

[Voice/Private]

[alephbet]

I thought that was something you'd say.

Welcome back. It wasn't long, but your presence was missed.

[morituramfides]

Then your mission is to study them more? How's that working out for you?

[worldend_dominator]

I would not give it too much credit. After all, there is a reason they call it "hell".

Re: [Voice/Private]

[firstofthefallen]

It's a delight to be here I'm sure.

Has anything of note happened since I've been gone.

[firstofthefallen]

Far better once I understand why the sent me back to my world, among other things.

Has anyone ever attempted to contact our captors with the intent of meaningful conversation?

Re: voice

[firstofthefallen]

And why do you think that reason is?

Jason was in charge all of last month, and put us in other people's bodies, with memory bleedover. Luckily the girl I was swapped with didn't summon any of my demons - it was difficult enough to manage when I could barely tell if I was her or me.
