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 those brochures about where we're going? [Ryoji's peering over to look at the boy-- who he's pretty sure isn't as young as he looks, thanks to power senses being on now-- regarding the papers in his hand. He's been too excited about the prospect to even thinking about what they're getting into.]

[icy_heavens]

[It's impossible to miss that reiatsu. Strong enough to make him look up from his reading, though he at least filters it through his senses to avoid any unpleasant headaches. Nothing familiar about the other, despite that powerful presence. He'd have noticed if he'd come across this person before.]

... They are.

[dangerouslyinlove]

[Grumpy as this guy might appear to be, Ryoji's nothing but cheer and smiles.] Where did you get them? I'm curious to see where we're gonna end up.

[icy_heavens]

[... What exactly is there to be so happy about? This may be an inevitability, but it's hardly something to be so thrilled over. He doesn't understand this enthusiasm.

[Offhandedly, he gestures in the direction from which he boarded.] Should be able to find it near the entrance. Look for your name; they're personalized.

[As only makes sense. There's at least some organization here.]

[dangerouslyinlove]

[Well, him being dead has some good implications for his world as a whole. Also because he may or may not have asked his girlfriend to kill them and she didn't.]

Oh! I guess I missed that, huh? [He'll go and get his before coming back and sitting down near the death god again.]

[icy_heavens]

[To be fair, he has kind of a difficult time understanding enthusiasm in general. That kind of bouncy cheerfulness . . . just isn't him and he doesn't know how so many people get there.

[He goes back to reading while the other is gone -- with a just a grandmother again, hm? Well, he hadn't any complaints about that this time around, so that's fine. Some things just don't change, he supposes . . .

[And now he's back. Why is he back?] Was there something else? [He'd gotten you to go away. Why are you ruining this?]

[dangerouslyinlove]

Hm? [Ryoji looks up from his brochure-- he has actual parents this time!!!-- over at the boy.] No, not really!

[icy_heavens]

[Hitsugaya is a bit more concerned about this future threat they'll be facing than he is about the idea of parents, though evidently his future self will vaguely remember his father. Which is more than he can say for this life, even if he'd never bothered wondering much about his parents. Would've been disrespectful to Granny.

[But just . . . these people are a disorganized mess and his future self is doing nothing to put them in line. Miracle so many of them are surviving this long. Must be the few times they manage to pull their heads out of their asses.

[He would . . . ask why this boy is still here, if there's nothing else, but that's essential repeating his question and he refuses to repeat himself. So he just shrugs.] Nevermind.
