Welcome To Purgatory

“…What?

Oswin had such difficulty comprehending what in the world Altier was talking about that he forgot not to pay attention to his surroundings. Plus, Altier’s obvious searching of the room prompted him to take a look around as well, and…

In spite of the tech present, the peculiar walls, and the odd camera, Oswin’s attention was drawn to the barely audible voices he could hear coming from below. Suddenly the whole situation seemed much less scary and more like getting dropped off at a sleepover. I wish I could go to a sleepover again. It’s been so long since I was able to do that.

“Oh hey, I bet he’s down there!” Oswin looked back at Billie and Altier for a moment before jogging to the stairs, rapping his knuckles on the adjoining wall to announce his presence, and then loudly yelling “HELLO! WE’RE HERE!! SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG!!”

Oswin being Oswin, it was almost mandatory to include an apology in there somewhere, even if he wasn’t actually sorry in the slightest. Maybe I want to be sorry; is that such a problem?
