    Anderson lets Pablo in and he promptly notices Nan with pleasant surprise. Pablo says that after she smashed that thing in his room everything went black and when the lights came back on a few seconds later, she was gone.

    bladesworn's Storytime the first

    If this is Limbo or Hell, why aren't there more people here? Anna says this isn't Hell, because they're not dead -- they're just being punished. And they put themselves here. There are surely many others, but why they are here, rather than they, is anyone's guess. At the least, they couldn't...

    bladesworn's Storytime the first

    Nan tells Anna to stop being such a downer. Anna asks how she can possibly be optimistic in a place like this -- or has Nan just not looked around her? They're trapped here, and Anna can't help but feel there's a reason. Nan asks that if they're all here for a reason, what did Anna do to...

    bladesworn's Storytime the first

    The pendant bears a striking resemblance to Nan's own, but when she checks her pockets, it's gone. Nan explains her own ordeals, but it's so disjointed, like a dream that's hard to explain. Henry seems to get the gist of it though and says he's just relieved that Nan is all right after all...

    bladesworn's Storytime the first

    Nan turns back to Santiago, who has released her arm. With a fizzling sound he extinguishes his match, leaving only a faint plume of dark smoke hanging in the air. He steps back down the stairwell, disappearing into the darkness. He says to be patient. He says next time, he'll have some real...

    Nan insists she has no idea what her sin is, and that she considers herself a generally okay person. Besides, didn't Santiago just say there are no sins in this place? Santiago grins even wider and lets out an amused gasp. Evidently he and Nan are on the same page, he says. Anna's theory is...

    Nan responds nervously that as well and good as that may be, it's not worth people trying to kill her. Oh, asks Santiago, and what's so bad about death? He leans in closer. He says a girl named Anna arrived the other day. She has an interesting idea about this place. Does Nan know what...
