Canon is Suburban Shootout

[bill_hazeldine]

Um... hello? Excuse me, but um.... I'm going to be starting University in about 2 weeks, and I really need to go get my books, so if you could please just return me to Little Stempington I would really appreciate it. Not that I'm not grateful to be away from Jewel, really I do appreciate that, but I don't really have the time for this now... Do you mind? Hello?

[ Balthazar only shrugs, looking quite indifferent. ]

It has been known to happen for less.

Where exactly is it that you think you are?

[bill_hazeldine]

[looks up at the strange man] But... you said I was dead... and not in heaven? Where else would I be but... hell? But... I can't imagine hell would be an enormous library. I always rather thought that would be heaven for me. But... you said that wasn't where I am. I'm so confused... so where AM I? [red-rimmed eyes gazing up at Balthazar with just a shred of hope]

[ Oh, hope. How he loved to crush it. But in a moment. Let it rise up a bit more. ]

You are not at a Library. Yet. That comes...later.

You're somewhere...in between.

Purgatory? Am I being judged?

[bornofthis]

Always.

[bill_hazeldine]

What do I DO? Please Mister! What do I DO? Where do I GO?

[bornofthis]

Do you always ask so many questions?

[bill_hazeldine]

I'm sorry... but I don't know what is going on here, and I just want some answers! I'm lost! And you sound like you know where we ARE! So, come on... m-m-mister! [obviously not used to getting uppity with anybody, and is trying it out]

[bornofthis]

If you're attempting to be threatening, or intimidating in any fashion, I'm afraid you'll need to try much harder than that.

[bill_hazeldine]

I'm not trying to be threatening! I just... I'm lost, and confused, and tired, and I just want to go home!
