The Train to STE Meme (SPOILERS for canon deaths)


You know those Train to the Afterlife memes? In STE the canon versions of all our characters are dead. What if there was a train bearing their spirits on to reincarnation here?

This is a meme where canon versions of the characters can interact. They all know they're dead. They may or may not remember just how they died, or how they got to be on this particular train. Doesn't matter if they'll be born decades apart - that just means some people disembark a little earlier than others. Go over brochures about what your new incarnation will be like, spontaneously turn or be human, try the snack cart, fail to convince the friendly but very busy conductor to give you a transfer, or simply chat.

You just can't stop the train, or leave it. Not yet.

Hey, smile. We're gonna do it better next time.

[ Reiner reaches out and grabs Bertholdt's hand, motioning for him to sit down next to him. ]

The next me won't... he won't forget about you. He'll actually care about what's important. That's great, huh?

[it's not his deadness so much as the circumstances thereof. not a strong distinction functionally, though. being reminded about this next-life business just reminds him of how bad the last one was.]

[but there's an even more uncomfortable parallel here, because do you know how he wound up becoming friends with Alex?]

[it was because Alex was an obnoxious ass who forced his way into Ravi's life.]

[kiiiind of like Kotetsu is doing right now. and hey, guess what he really doesn't want to think about!]

[he slouches a bit, wraps his arms around himself, glances down at the brochure on the seat beside him.]


You're off to a good start. [it's a petulant mumble, but there's no bite behind it.]

[He'll just... not think on that story too hard. Talking birds. Dead talking birds? Food in space?

Yeah, no.

And as for the window... Well, he's dead already. What's the worst that could happen? He shifts a bit to get a good grip on the window before pushing it open as wide as it will go.

Don't fall out.

[ She doesn't react for a moment. Then she looks up at him thoughtfully before returning her attention forwards once more. ]

Maybe.

You're hard to miss.

[ She's not sure it will matter to the future her-who-isn't-her, so it's hard to even begin speculating. Still. What she said is true enough, at least. ]

Vriska offers A Look that effectively communicates what she thinks of shitty dumb useless predestination hoofbeastshit, and exactly how vigorously paradox space should shove its plans up its own nook.

"Gimme yours, then. If you're going to be all skeptical! I'll fix it. Free of charge!"

All the words.

[An adjustment of her glasses, and Yuri steps back a bit.]

Where does food even come from in the aferlife? Or do we even need it?

[No, talking casually to the alien somehow doesn't make her miss much of a beat. She's seen some strange stuff, man. At least you're cordial.]

[He wasn't expecting the girl sitting next to him to speak up, let alone strike up a conversation. He blinks up from the paper he already finished reading hours ago toward her, silent for a moment.]

... I'm not sure. How long do you think it will be?

[An hour. A day. A week -- a year. He doesn't think anything will be as long as the first three centuries he lived, though.]

"Yes... I suppose that's a fair assessment."

The words sound as hollow as they did when L said them just minutes before his death.

"Why are you in such good spirits? You're dead. Clearly at a young age. It wasn't something you wanted, was it?" L asks, fingers falling on a brochure that's conveniently resting on the seat next to his.

[Sitting around silently is only good if you have work to do. And yet here he is, with the business regarding souls taken completely out of his hands. He doesn't really like that. He's going to be on this damn train for a while and there's nothing to do.

[He's hardly the social sort, but talking is better than nothing.]
Unpleasant news, I take it.

[personal profile] hawaiianheir 2014-02-01 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)


...Roxy?

[He had taken to wandering up and down the train - not that there was much else to do, anyway. A softly crumpled brochure was held in his left hand as he had started wandering to look at who else was on this train with him. Of course, he was really expecting well. Much of anyone to be here that he recognized. Let alone someone he distinctly remembers being alive, not that he knew much about his own death.]
hawaiianheir: ([screams internally])

[John didn't really necessarily have any clue how he died - hell, for all intents and purposes, for the first hour - or maybe two, there was no way to tell how much time passed - he hadn't been really convinced that he had died. He certainly would have remembered if he had done something that God Tier wouldn't have covered, right?

He looked at the pamphlet some time after that, but... no Dave, no Rose, no Jade, no anyone it seemed from his past life. At least as far as it could be reasoned thus far. The feeling of lonliness - the same as he felt when he and Jade were escaping the Scratch... it gnawed at him. He had endured three years of cabin fever, but in a train in which time had no meaning, it seemed to take considerably less time until he was wandering the cabins. He certainly stood out with his blue windsock pajamas, but maybe he could find someone else to talk to before he went absolutely bonkers.

[ Vriska breaks off her incessant brochure-scribbling for a second when she spots John. She's very unsure how she should feel about this, considering how they left things. It's probably a situation best avoided.

THOUGH LOL IT'S VRISKA SO

ADVANCE OR ABSCOND?

> ADVANCE

Hey, John. No magical musclebeastshit lifey ring revival for you either, huh?

... Star.

[it's the short form, the nickname she rarely used for the other girl. under the circumstances... what else can she do?

she moves as close as she can, about five feet off.

Forget it.

[personal profile] hawaiianheir 2014-02-01 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)


...Vriska.

[Well, this is definitely awkward. On one hand, His last impression of Vriska was that she was certifiably insane. But, she is trying to at least be relatively... cordial? And it's not like there's anything to be fighting over at this point.]

Yeah, no. No lifey ring for me either. Not that I remember how I got here.

[she stops almost as soon as she hears her name, leaving deep finger marks in a support beam as she pulls back. there's a pained incomprehension on her face as she looks at Raven, emotions caught somewhere between distress at seeing her friend in this place at all and the words themselves.]

But we cannot stay. We must...

[she trails off, voice plaintive. they can't accept this. Starfire can't accept that this is it.]
chernobolt: (☆ but not this time)

[personal profile] chernobolt 2014-02-01 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[it takes a moment for Starfire to notice she's got company, consumed with finding some weak point as she is, but as soon as she does the carnage stops for the time being. just because they're already dead doesn't mean she wants to accidentally injure someone else.

her tone is firm and agitated when she replies - she's obviously not buying anything Umi's trying to sell here.]


I am very sorry, but this is not a moment where I am very concerned with the peace and the quiet! I must be returned!
