You move into the Valhalliday Inn and set about having an afterlife of afterleisure. After a few days, though, you realize that Valhallalala is a place where nothing ever happens. Not to put too fine a point on it (or a bee in your bonnet), you're getting bored.
Fortunately, the Valhalliday Inn has the KNN channel. One day (or, really, one particular point in eternity) you see the following news story:
"The Naughty Sorceress has returned to the Kingdom and is once again making trouble. King Ralph has vanished once again and the Council of Loathing has reconvened. In fact, it's a lot like the Naughty Sorceress had never been defeated!"
"How do I get out of here? I'm needed back in the Kingdom," you ask the ethereal concierge.
"Well," the shade replies, "You can always go see After-After-Life Al. He's just past that big stairway over there. There's a sign on the door."
You follow the shade's directions and find yourself living in a shotgun shack in another part of the world. Actually, you find yourself in front of a little store with a giant neon sign reading:
After-After-Life Al's: The Alpha and Alphmega in Reincarnation Services.
See the Ascension page for more details on the ascension options.
