Kat stared her mouth open as Kristen came in.  Where were all these people coming from?  She wasn't sure the house could hold many more.  Shaking her head slightly she watched and Derek and the young woman left and then went back to the subject that was a bigger curiosity to her.    She had felt something strange while Julia was talking her, though she didn't know how to describe it in words.  It wasn't anything scary, just different.  The little girl mulled over everything Julia had told her.  "Is that waiting room Purgatory," she asked.  She'd heard about that before, Philip spoke of it sometimes and she'd heard in other places too.  She'd never really understood what it was though.  She just knew that it went with Heaven and Hell, somehow.  "I'm glad my daddy and brother didn't have to wait there very long.  That might be scary."
 
 
Julia nodded, both Derek and the newcomer now gone "It is scary... but I didn't really think on it all that much.  And no," she answered the part about purgatory, somehow knowing it to be true as well "This wasn't Purgatory.  That's reserved for those that have done neither good nor evil more than the other.  Only thing I can think of to call it would be.... statis.  conscious statis."
 
"And no, your Dad and brother didn't have to wait at all." she frowned curiously and asked "Didn't.. well didn't they visit you already once?"
