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.

That's quite all right.

[If he's not really getting worked up over this train ride, he's not going to get worked up over some kid staring at him.]

Did you need something?

...how do you know all of this?

[He's looking around the car for one of the other Kyoryugers who might have told this guy things, but no, he's alone. That he's alone is somewhat of a relief, even if it means he doesn't know what this guy's deal is.]

Ah...thank you.

[Not that he was expecting that, but hey, he'll take a compliment.]

This ride is a bit disorienting, yes. I feel as though I may have encountered you at some point, as well.

And I'll be a parrot.

[He doesn't seem really upset by this.]

These things just happen, it would seem.

[ Sora makes a comically disgruntled face. ]

They'd hide them everywhere - castles, jungles, graveyards, in pirate ships and under the sea. There was even one that got stuck in a giant whale that traveled in space.

That's right!

[He steps into the compartment, grin growing.]

It's nice to meet my future blood... officially.

Giant what that traveled where?

[So the mun the bird-dinosaur-man had a brainfart in the bracket narration BUT HIS POINT STANDS, SO BITCHY]

I've been dead and recovered several times, but here I am anyway. Not once did I have to kick up a fuss in order to return.

[He shrugs and seems unconcerned by this.]

It catches up with us all sooner or later, even after a hundred million years.

Oh? Oh right, how rude of me.

[Nobuo jumps to his feet and gives a small bow.]

I am Akagi Nobuo, AkibaRed of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger. I'm sort of ... I'm the leader of a parody Sentai based on the real ones. Yours and the others.

To put it bluntly, your Sentai and all the others are very real, but in another world are a television show ... which mine was also.

Hah! It's pretty OUTRAGEOUS, but it's not SUPER!

[And there's the hearty slap on the back.]

I can't say I was expecting to see YOU in here!

It's sad, but everyone has to go SOMETIME! And chin up, maybe you'll find your someone else!

EXACTLY!

[Finally, sensible people! Aquaman gives them a big thumbs-up.]

We shouldn't worry if we're headed into an ADVENTURE!

[He hasn't even read the brochure that thoroughly.]

But this one might be EVEN MORE OUTRAGEOUS!

[Come on, smile! It's outrageous!]

[Torin returns that bow, because he is a very polite alien bird-thing.]

...you...knew you were a television show? A parody Sentai, no less?

[This is starting to sound like some of the manga or one of the DVDs he might have found lying around the base at one point.]

If he were here, you'd know it... he'd probably be making a bigger stink out of it than me.

Well it wasn't easy you know. It took me nearly the whole first season to figure it out. Then we got cancelled and brought back for a second season without being able to remember we were in a show at first.

[Nobuo is just going to take a seat by you Torin. Hope you don't mind.]

It was alot of work. Then we all got killed off at the end of the second season anyway. Oh well, got to hang around as a spirit for a while at least.

Hah, he's another one who needs to look on the bright side, then?

That sounds...difficult.

[Difficult to understand that much fourth-wall breaking, and difficult to go through. Plus, he's too polite to be unsympathetic.]

Ah, you came back as Spirits, then? You must have been a team full of Bravery.

[There's that finger snap.]

[Akagi actually let out a small squeal at the snap.]

So cooooool~

I mean! Yeah, I guess so. Our motto was Pain is Power and I gotta tell you, flying into the sun was pretty painful.

No way near as cool as the way you went out. With a purpose any everything.

For an egotist.

[She looks back, serious and old, older than he ever grew to be.]

There's nothing to say. You lived, and then you died, and so did I, and almost none of that happened at the same time. We didn't have much of a chance. It doesn't matter what we wanted--it never did.

[Messiah never managed to steal everything from her. She lived her life. She had a family. She loved them, and loved the last bit of Jin that was left when hyperspace collapsed.]

I wouldn't have been the only one to go after you, if we were diving into hell, you know.

[Her eyebrows lower, and she makes a confused sound.]

What do you mean?

[Understanding begins to dawn, and she reaches around for her pamphlet, sticking her nose in it to read.]

Do you need some help? I've done this before myself, and I know it can be a bit

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<small[weird]</small>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

Do you need some help? I've done this before myself, and I know it can be a bit <small[Weird]</small> different. Here, let me take a look.

[He shrugs]

Small afterlife, I guess. So where you headed? I doubt you get to get through this trip unscathed.

[She had wondered about the blue thing. Although... wait, she didn't...

Oh.

How to break it to her gently?]

What is your name?

[He laughs and shakes his head. But her look pins him... He feels like he's being scolded, somehow.]

Yeah. Yeah. You got a lot of time, right? Tons of time, I hope.

[He puts his hand towards her cheek, hovering for a moment before he gives her a gentle poke. Never was good at physical affection...]

Yeah, I guess not. J, for one, would hardly let you go alone. I know. There were a lot of people that-

[He cuts off, unable to finish the sentence.]

A lot of other people I shoulda said sorry to, that's all.

[He watches her flip through the pamphlet, giving a really... awkward, tight smile.]

I, uh. It wasn't my idea. Maybe the new me will be a little better. Hope so. He better, honestly. You could hardly be much worse!

[He gives a loud, awkward, unhappy laugh.]

Miiko Suzuhara. I'm trying to find Teruo-- Teruo Suzuhara.
