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.

"Are you all right?"

It's the aimlessness that's caught Vector's attention; normally it would pass him by, but the almost-forlorn aspects have prickled what bits of curiosity lie within the ancient mech.

Di has seen a lot of strange creatures thus far, but Vector most definitely takes the cake. While her world and time are far from behind in technology, such things are reserved only for the highest of highbloods and those in the military ranks who go around conquering planets.

So needless to say, a talking, sentient robot is a first for Di. It's enough to almost break her out of her reverie and she gives him an incredulous expression before looking around to see if anyone else is astounded by this before finally setting her eyes on him again.

"I'm," there is a moment of surprise at hearing her own voice, "confused."

Where he comes from, they're quite the norm.

Then again, it's one of the few such sections of reality that is. Still, he takes the confusion easily enough, calmly waiting for her to gather herself.

"How so?" he questions politely. Perhaps he can help.

"It has been so long since I've seen anyone. Or talked to anyone." It was part of the reason she had been so shocked to hear herself speak. After so little use she had thought it had been lost to her.

Right now it helped to actually have someone to focus on. A part of her was still reeling over the fact she was talking to someone who appeared to be a machine, but then everything about this place was strange.

She seemed to wake up a little more and her brow furrowed as she actually began to think over everything that had happened.

"Is it true that we are dead?" She didn't seem upset as the aspect. Considering she was inexplicably younger Di was willing to accept almost anything at this point.

[wastingtime]

Now that is something he can emphasize with. Vector nods slowly with an 'mmm' of understanding. "We are," he confirms. "At least, in a matter of speaking. Our memories live on, as we ourselves go to create new ones in another world."

[bibliofilo]

Di never had an idea of what might come after death. Souls, afterlife, heaven and hell--those weren't really concepts that an olive blood thought about. She knew some of those of lower blood could have contact with the dead, and she knew that the Signless had had visions of a different life life but she always worried too much about the now.

Slowly her eyes fell towards the brochure in her hands and she frowned.

"Are you familiar with how this all works?"
