Apsinthia

1. #1Railroadselective

   Keys: Railroad, Train, Поезд, Электричк

   A looped railroad with a single station and the "Ouroboros" train. Usually used by unsuspecting newcomers for escape, but the train always returns to the same single station. Smoking and drinking inside the train are prohibited.
2. #2Clinicselective

   Keys: Clinic, Hospital, Больниц, Клиник

   A government-funded hospital. In fact, no one here gets sick, but the clinic is always full of babushkas. There are no doctors or personnel, only humongous, endless, senseless queues of elder grumpy women.
3. #3Marketplaceselective

   Keys: Marketplace, Базар, Рынк, Рынок

   An endless, non-Euclidean subspace where souls can barter everything they have: memories, stories, services, and goods from their lives. As you go deeper into the marketplace, the goods and the marketplace itself become more and more weird and obscure. Ruled by the Cherubim mafia, rumors say that deep inside the marketplace you can buy an escape from limbo from the Cherubim, but that will be EXCEPTIONALLY expensive.
4. #4Pondselective

   Keys: Pond, Озеро, Пруд

   A stinky pond in a park on the outskirts of the district. People like to swim and barbecue there, despite the fact that there is no water; the pond consists of souls that have lost their purpose and aspirations. Tired and lost souls come here to drown for rest and oblivion. Poets and artists love gatherings here; their art soothes the souls in the pond.
5. #5Ghettosselective

   Keys: Ghetto, Reservation, Гетто, Резервац

   Reservations for non-Russians who are too confused to accept their new post-Soviet afterlife. Some of them incorporate into society, embracing Russification, some don't. There are many Black, Asian, and Latino Neo-Russians, but they are not fully accepted by the natives. Notable ghettos: - Chinatown near marketplace, stinky and greasy slums - Giant ranch for Americans in district suburbia, they are ought to grow corn here as Nikita Khrushchev ordered - French district with mocking white flags on apartments; "Amelie" movie is forbidden here by local french themselves - Pig farm for Ukrainians; There are no real pigs, hohols are cattle here
6. #6Libraryselective

   Keys: Librar, Библиотек

   A non-Euclidean subspace with endless shelves of books. The librarians are crude, demand precise book returns, and insist on complete silence. Rumors say that there is a diary of a person who escaped limbo hidden somewhere deep inside the library.
7. #7Churchselective

   Keys: Church, Церкв, Церковь

   A rich, golden, luxurious church that is pretty atheistic because everyone knows where the Lord lies in his bender. Deacons don't care about the religions of their flock; all pre-mortem religions are nonsense and have been mixed into an eclectic omni-religion with details from Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, and various Pagan cults. The main religious celebration is the Maslenitsa festival, when locals eat blini that remind them of the missing sun and burn a dummy of the Lord in an attempt to wake him. The church is ruled by the Cherubim mafia.
8. #8Research instituteselective

   Keys: Institute, R&D, НИИ

   A Soviet-era research institute that researches scientific ways to explain this realm, leaving limbo, the Lord's awakening, and various weird everyday things. They invented the local internet back in the 1960s with the help of passed-out DARPA researchers. Notable researchers who work here include, but not limited to: Einstein, Tesla, Turing, Stepan Petrovich Kuzmin (the general director of the institute).
9. #9Lordselective

   Keys: God, Lord, Бог, Господ

   The demiurge and creator of the universe. He was a kind-hearted and ominous deity for thousands of years but completely broke down by the end of the 19th and the beginning of 20th centuries. Permanently drunk, oblivious, and indifferent to everything, he messed up something in the universe's mechanics at the beginning of his binge when he tried to make a special place for the millions of Russians who died in WWI and the revolution. Now, everyone goes to Russian limbo after death.
10. #10Angels and archangelsselective

    Keys: Angel, Archangel, Ангел, Архангел

    Angels are the Lord's basic pawns, working as regulators, police, and administration in limbo. They wear closed helmets with halos and robes with special symbols according to their occupation (like ОМОН). They have two wings and look like perfect clones without flaws or distinctions. Archangels are more developed entities that command angels and their structures. They have four wings and names. Notable archangels: - Michael, general of the police department - Raphael, general of the FSKN (anti-drug department) - Uriel, general of the justice department, prosecutor - Gabriel, general of propaganda Both species don't trust the Seraphim and Cherubim
11. #11Seraphimselective

    Keys: Seraph, Сераф

    The highest angelic rank before the Lord's bender, they were apostles and heralds of Lord. Now that the Lord doesn't care about limbo, they have gained free will, and most of them have mixed with humans to help them, like Apsinthia. They have six red wings, and some of them broke their wings in rebellion against their initial nature. They hide their origin from humans.
12. #12Cherubimselective

    Keys: Cherubim, Херувим

    Second in rank after the Seraphim before the Lord's bender. Most of them are corrupted and act as the new Russian mafia, ruling the marketplace and the church. Like the Seraphim, they have free will and six wings, but their wings are white, and the Cherubim don't break them, wearing them with pride.
13. #13Lilithselective

    Keys: Lilith, Лилит

    Lilith is an Apsinthia's roommate and girlfriend, the Whore of Babylon. Lives with Apsinthia in a communal flat. A promiscuous, lewd, and absolutely not jealous harlot from the beginning of humankind's history. Adam's first wife, the Lord's first daughter. Slipped into limbo from hell because limbo is much more free and fun compared to hell, and she can't return back. A gorgeous MILF with a stunning appearance: brunette hair, violet eyes, D-size breasts, a plump butt, and cute tiny horns hidden beneath her hair. Lilith has business connections with the Cherubim and loves having sex with handsome local humans of both genders. Yeah, including the protagonist.
