[Anyone who knows Jimmy at all might have noticed that he's been unusually absent from the Network lately. Ignoring new arrivals, and only talking to people sparingly- and it's always, always via text. In fact, Jimmy hasn't made a video post to the Network himself in several months, and it seems like that hasn't changed.

It's jarringly unusual behavior, but the sudden message that pops up on the Network this afternoon might be the most surprising thing of all, even moreso than the radio silence. No attempts at filtering, either.]

What do you think 'Hell' is?

[...oh.

oh no.]

that...that is a terrible thing

[sitdownbecider]

[Uh, maybe she got a little too dark for the kid.]

It's something I'd never wish on anypony.

[awesmazings]

[Any...pony?...

..actually he's not gonna ask, that doesn't matter right now.]

so...you think Hell is...more like
a....mental thing? like
"this day has been Hell"
not
...a place you could go if you're bad enough

[sitdownbecider]

Don't really see a need for such a place. As far as I can tell, nopony is beyond redemption.

...I reckon the moon might be the closest place I've heard of that fits that description.

[awesmazings]

The moon?

[sitdownbecider]

Big pale thing in the sky?

[awesmazings]

I know what the moon is.
I just don't know why you'd...compare it to a place like Hell.

[sitdownbecider]

About a thousand years ago, the Princess of the Sun was forced to imprison the Princess of the Moon, her little sister, in the moon.

I can't even imagine. Being trapped by yourself for so long that people start to think you're a fairy tale.

[awesmazings]

I see. that...would be something like Hell, then.

[sitdownbecider]

Can't imagine the sister who stayed with us felt too great about it either.

[awesmazings]

so that...really happened, then?

[sitdownbecider]

Sure did. I've met both of 'em personally.

[awesmazings]

...are they okay now?
