I'm seriously confused about those nice notes. They're written by Kyle, obviously, but in the style of one of Selina's notes of some unidentified type...huh?

((What exactly IS the afterlife like anyway?))
((Everything it's ever been described as.
ESPECIALLY the contradictory ones.))
So, wouldn't chatting with someone in the Afterlife be as easy as finding the right cave and climbing in?

N'thara wonders why Will isn't responding.
XCOM II.
See "Operation Spectral Priest Tridux Panicked Stooge" for how well that's going...

Afterlife Stuff
Didn't I previously say that pretty much everyone's soul went to Hell under the guardianship of one of the demons or another?



Here's an idea.

Where's the plot waitlist? We should choose 2-3 people off that list and have their plots run...simultaneously. With or without internal collusion.
This would force the party to prioritize and split up, or else to let some threats fall by the wayside.

I have a feeling no one in the group would allow a demon to take their soul and instead just punch them in the face and do what they want.

That's just crazy enough to work! I second this idea.

No, you said that souls are split between heaven and hell depending on whether they're deemed as suitable in heaven. Shit I said was a completely different story that works around that to make a much more interesting dynamic than 'lol demons always get everything unless you are good christian person'.

Less "Good Christian person," more "Fit to be a cog in the machine".

And I'd have no problem with your version, if I hadn't established mine so firmly. And built it into the core of the hellish economy.

Actually, I specifically built it so that it didn't contradict yours in any way.

The demons would be fully capable of having their economy, as anyone that they managed to sway could easily be made to believe in hell, I mean it's kinda a big thing nowadays, and at this point there aren't many people left who don't believe in it, so demons of Nuriel's rank wouldn't know the difference because, again, recently there haven't been many people who don't believe in hell.

All I did was make the meta a bit more interesting than the boring old heaven/hell dichotomy.

And don't pretend yours wasn't, heaven being a machine and hell being basically anarchy and shit are pretty much par for the course.

I never pretended it wasn't a similar dichotomy, but Heaven is basically nothing but a bureaucracy (not terribly unusual, but typically not paired against a Hell) and Hell is more or less like a combination of a corporate battlefield and medieval Europe, but the powerful people all have magic.

And what fraction of people do you think believe they will go to Hell, one way or another? That requires a massive scaling down of Hell away from what I said...and it also completely contradicts the mechanism, explained at least once or twice.

Then break it.

You're not understanding.

A majority of people in the world believe in a heaven/hell dichotomy.

Therefore, when they die, they go to either heaven or hell.

if they honestly believe in samsara, then they get punted to their next life.

if they believe that the afterlife is an eternal bouncy castle... well, that'll be a boring afterlife because that's proably not too popular of a religion.

Also, I think I should probably be the one to define heaven since I control God, but meh Idgaf. Then again, they might have changed a lot of shit while she's been out <_<

-snip-
But, again, how many people think they have screwed up enough to go to Hell? Especially since some of the more popular modern religions with Heaven and Hell send you to Heaven just for believing?
