[Scar is discovering the magic of nightblogging. Perhaps not the best idea in the world, but his conversation with Ib a while back has left him thinking.

Is there actually a purpose to this second chance?]

I am curious. Do you view coming here as a bump in the road, or as a second chance for something?

[Because let's be real this can't possibly just be a giant afterlife serial killer rehab universe.]

Were we brought here for a purpose? For our own benefit?

((OOC: All of Scar's responses will be anon unless otherwise indicated.))

I asked the question, did I not?

[Of course he's ready. He's betting that there's some sarcastic smartass on the other end, and Scar... has absolutely no sense of humor.]

Shit happens.

A brilliant contribution.

What the fuck do you want to hear? That we're all here for a reason? That this is purgatory?

There's no reason for any of this. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't have anything to do with anything we did.

And who confirmed this to you?

[text and how did I totally miss this notif]

[lieutenantantichrist]

It's the great god damn rule of life. People are always looking for there to be some kind of reason besides "she was at the wrong place at the wrong time" or "he had shitty luck" or "he double-crossed a mob boss, what the hell did he think was going to happen."

Shit like this? It's like the god damn weather. It doesn't mean anything. It can't.

[text IT HAPPENS it's all good]

[envy_the_sinners]

How can you compare the weather to being pulled into an entirely different universe?

[lieutenantantichrist]

Because it's more bullshit that happens for no reason. It doesn't rain because baby angels are crying, and we're not here because of anything we did. End of story.

Unless you have any better ideas.

[envy_the_sinners]

There is no "better" or "worse" idea. We have no answers to indicate either way.

[Where is the "annoyed" button on this stupid thing...]

[lieutenantantichrist]

You must have some sort of opinion.

[text]

[envy_the_sinners]

I have yet to form one, which is why I made this post in the first place.

I find it difficult to believe that hundreds of people have been displaced for "mysterious" reasons because "shit just happens."

[lieutenantantichrist]

Nobody asks a question unless they have some idea what answer they're looking for. I learned that one from lawyers.

What do you want me to say? That God brought us here to punish us for our sins?

[It really is too bad that you can't ladle sarcasm into text, but Blake tries.]

[envy_the_sinners]

[...Which is most unfortunate, because Scar is going to take that 100% seriously.]

This place could never be called Hell.

[text]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Oh yeah? How can you be so sure?

[He's just fucking around. It's not something that's been gnawing on the back of his mind or anything.]

[text]

[envy_the_sinners]

Because I have seen hell.

[text]

[lieutenantantichrist]

You have, have you.

[Blake has heard this one before.]

What kind of beard did the devil have?
