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.

[ Toph Beifong doesn't mind being dead (or randomly thirteen again? WHATEVER). She guesses. She lived a good life, yadda yadda yadda, invented metalbending, mastered sandbending, had good friends, picked up a daughter somewhere, kicked a city into shape, got a huge statue of herself.

All pretty cool things, if she does say so herself.

What she does mind is this stupid brochure. ]

Oh, come on! How am I supposed to read this?! I'm blind, genius!

[ Maybe someone should let her in on the details of her future reincarnation, because this is just plain Rude. ]

Edited 2014-01-31 23:40 (UTC)

Maybe there's a braille version.

[Roxy ambles over, having spent most of her time wandering the cars.]

Or I can read it for you, I guess.

Braille?

[ What is this braille of which you speak, Roxy. :|a Toph hasn't the slightest idea who this girl is - at least a train is metal, so she can "see" - but the offer sounds like a good one. She holds out the brochure, which so far she hadn't even bothered to open. ]

If this is stuff I should know, I'd like to know it. Why couldn't they have just told me face to face?

Braille. Y'know, the raised dots language they made for blind people?

Anyway, you're gonna go be reincarnated, but you're slowly gonna get back memories of your old life. Also, your superpowers're gonna be gone, so you're gonna have to regain those too. Plus, we gotta save the world. Think that's all the major stuff.

[Roxy pauses.]

I think if they came here, they'd have to answer too many dumb questions like "Is there a god" 'n' shit.

...Why the hell didn't anyone ever think of that?

[ Unless they did between ATLA and LOK somewhere and she conveniently forgot about it. Still, RUDE. RUDE. Sokka, come on, surely you could have put your brains to this particular problem. ]

What, so we're all becoming Avatars or something?

[ She can deal with that. :|a ]

Okay I know what that word means but I think you're usin' it differently than me.

So what's an avatar. Oh, also, what're your superpowers?

[ Bragging time? BRAGGING TIME. ]

I, [ pause for dramatic effect and grin ] am the greatest earthbender who ever lived.

[ AANG CAN'T TOUCH THIS. Yeah. ...If Roxy doesn't know what an Avatar is, she probably doesn't know what the hell an earthbender is, either... ]

Uh, the Avatar? Bridge between the spirit world and ours? Has to master all four elements each lifetime?

[ If the brochure also covers the multiple world thing she totally didn't get that memo. ]

Oh wow, greek classical. That's kinda boring ngl.

[Roxy makes the connection between "bending" and "mastering" fairly quickly. She shrugs and leans back in her seat.]

So is the spirit world an actual proven thing where you're from? Or is just from your religion or something?

Greek what? Which part of that was boring?

[ Toph feels like she's lost track of this conversation... ]

It's a thing that exists. Never been there myself, but it's something you sort of get to believe in when you hang out with Twinkletoes for any amount of time.

The greek classical elements? Water, earth, wind, fire? The greeks thought they, like, made up everything in the world.

The actual elements'd be so much cooler. Think of like, plutonium-bending.

[Roxy pauses, and then frowns.]

No, wait, that'd be lethal. Never mind.

Never heard of the "Greeks". I can bend metal and sand, too, though.

[ What the hell is plutonium.

Is this chick crazy?

Eh. Company is company, and she's hung out with crazier. ]

What're your powers, then?

Um, intangibility, immortality, I can make shit by ripping the nothingness from ideas.

Also I don't think sylladexes are a thing where we're going? So I have a disappearing liquor cabinet to put stuff in. And a separate disappearing rifle storage thing.

[ ..........UH. ]

I don't think we're from the same place. Unless you're as crazy as you sound.

Oh, shit, I totally forgot. There's like a fuckton of different versions of the world. Most people here're from different ones, so yeah, we're not from the same place at all. Like, bending isn't a thing where I come from.

What's a sylladex?

[ DID SHE EVEN SAY THAT RIGHT.

Also, wow, Roxy, could have led with that. Although she's being nice enough to explain things so...Toph can't complain. Too much. ]

Basically you get a buncha cards, and you can put your shit in the cards, and the cards disappear until you need 'em again. There's a bunch of different ways to get stuff out though. Like, if your sylladex is stack, you can only get whatever you last put in.

...Y'know what, forget I asked.

[ ONLY SOKKA WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT, CLEARLY. ]

So hey, what's your name? I'm Toph.

[ Hey... another kid. He had to admit, it was kinda sad seeing so many of them here (though, he did wonder if some of them had somehow been de-aged, considering he was feeling... and looking a lot more spry than he had been). ]

Hey. You want some help?

[ And if she's blind, he doesn't have to deal with the "ahhhh a monster" thing he's been getting from most of the humans here.

Though, she might just notice the flanging voice. ]

[ Oh, she definitely notices that voice. That is a very noticeable voice you've got there, guy.

However, it's attached to an offer she's currently interested in taking him up on, so. Toph holds out the brochure. Or smacks his chest with it. That also works, right? ]

Yeah, I need to know what's on the pamphlet, Rumbles. Telling me the answers I want are on there does me no good if I can't read 'em.

[ Stupid conductors on stupid spirit trains. ]

How terrible!

[oh god guys don't]

Is there any cure?!

[Yeah, these two idiots can't help but stare in ABSOLUTE HORROR AND GRIEF while flailing around in a bit of a panic.]

...To being born blind?

[ are you even serious rn guys ]

Yes, exactly!

There must be some way to pull you back on your feet!

I don't want you to fix it. I just want someone to read me my stupid pamphlet.

Of course!

Anything you desire!

[Obviously, helping her out with her wants will give her the ability to see ISAAC AND MIRIA LOGIC~

They pause in their flailing and point to the pamphlet. Which he can't ser them do, but whatever.]

This pamphlet?

...If this is what you're pointing at, yes.

[ She...tentatively holds it out are these really trustworthy people tho ]
