Who else is starting to really enjoy this arc? Up from the ashes of total despair and now a grand and righteous adventure awaits our heroine now that her little hellacious machinery's been sabotaged..
At least until Dave gets in a bad mood.
Bwahahahahaha!!!
Serves Pat right! Though I wonder if this particular act would give Silver a demerit or two towards her redemption

Nah, she's just been given a bit of time to think about things *snicker*. This story has a very Dickensish quality about it that I REALLY like. Silverblue and her wave of niceness seems to be unstoppable at the moment. I'm just waiting for them to bump into Fnar or Arloest right now. This is a very enjoyable story arc! oh, and Viva la Pussy!!! Sorry, had to say it.

Why would they need a plan for this?
I mean, it's HELL. If the arena doesn't get 'em, one of the demons will. If they don't get 'em, then one of the Sins is likely to. if THEY don't get them, you know they'll get killed sooner or later. If there's one thing that's clear, it's that Hell ain't hurtin' for personell.

Thats a pretty bad business plan, if you ask me.
Honestly, marketing your place of eternal resting as being a pool of endless torment and suffering, and yet leaving it susceptible to any shmuck who comes along to fuck it all up just by getting their memory back one day, tells me that it wasn't very well thought through Hell in the beginning.
Honestly, Hell's superintendant should have dropped a giant hammer of reckoning onto her the moment she deviated from the accepted modus operandi, and to not keep tabs on your teeming hordes of souls in anguish is again, bad business planning.
This is no way to run an afterlife.
Must be a union job.

Funny, I thought the Sins were just as much the tormented as the damned souls they administer and Hell bends to none.

Well, it makes more sense the way I see it...it's not hell that does the tormenting. The souls torment themselves. The souls themselves make hell what it is.
Drip, Bob and Lisa are in hell (and will likely never, ever get out) because they let themselves be controlled by their desires. Hell responds by keeping those desires just within view but always out of reach so they will never be entirely satisfied (Bob and Lisa are always hungry, Drip's continually horny). I'd guess that it's similar with the other sins.
They are caught in the same circles as all the other damned. The key to breaking the circle would probably be to abandon those desires, but Lust and Gluttony are obviously not about to do that, and neither, I guess, are the other sins.
Jack is a notable exception. He's still angry most of the time, but -probably because of his 'side job' as the Reaper- he's beginning to ask himself 'Why?', which is something that the others would never do (all other sins appear to have fun, even though it's 'empty', like Drip's inability to get at his victims or Vince's 'mock religion' - obviously, both are denied 'The real thing'). In short, Jack is questioning his role as a sin, and therefore he doesn't quite function in the same way as the other sins anymore.
Hell doesn't bend for anyone unless that person bends first.

Which is why the story's about Jack. Jack is the one sin that's trying to change things and make things a bit better. His punishment, I suppose, for whatever he did (My name's Jack, and I'm going to kill everyone in this room) was to be forced to kill people day in and day out and to be shown just how gruesome and emotionally scarring such a things are.

Jack as the sin wrath haven't killed anyone as far as i remember, but you are right that he has to face the result of each death...His punishment, I suppose, for whatever he did (My name's Jack, and I'm going to kill everyone in this room) was to be forced to kill people day in and day out and to be shown just how gruesome and emotionally scarring such a things are.

It's been a month since I posted this so I'll repeat myself. I think this is Jack's personal Hell. When Silverblue's arc started I thought I might've been wrong but since Jack showed up and is instrumental in this arc I once again believe it to be true. Nothing else exists but Jack and the illusions of Hell which he interacts with. No matter how convincing, they are no more real than the pen and paper drawings are real to us. Only Jack sees them as real.

Hmm...interesting theory, but...
According to some things David Hopkins has hinted at here, the RTD series and Jack are related somehow, part of a common continuity (I'm probably misquoting, but...'the person responsible for the rework crisis will become a sin, in fact'). Now unless it turns out to have been Jack (unlikely...it just isn't in character for Wrath, who tends to be more...personal and also doesn't look like the 'evil scientist' type in the flashback...) there are a few other 'real' people...
