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.

[ Aradia Megido had said she was done with dying, but, well - everything and everyone died eventually. Even if she can't quite remember how this came about, she's perfectly fine with the results, though this method of resurrection seems a bit haphazard to her.

She's studying her brochure with intense interest, trying to decide what she thinks of the girl she's going to be.

Well, it doesn't sound that bad, anyway. Alien, in a human way, but not bad. ]

This isn't how resurrection is meant to work, though.

She's a troll, one of the few he's seen on the train, but that isn't what catches his interest. It's the bright red wings coming out of her back which draws his eyes. It's been too long since he interacted with others to realize he's being rude when he stares at her. Just standing there, staring, and staring, still staring.

Her wings are indeed very eye-catching. It probably has to do with the sparkles, right? Aradia's always been fond of the sparkles, although they're somewhat inconvenient at times. Her entire godtier outfit is rather inconvenient when it comes to things like stealth or not being noticed. Not that she's ever really minded that. She likes the color. It's bright. Cheerful.

Alive, normally.

When she realizes someone's looking her way, she glances up with an automatic smile. It takes Aradia slightly less time to guess at the identity of the newcomer than it might take others unfamiliar with the concept of time in the abstract she views it in. "Oh, hello! Do you need a seat? There's several free here."

Which doesn't mean she calls him out on it right off. There's little reason to do so. Her recognizing him means nothing in the reverse. And the only troll she'd resemble wasn't one he'd have known on a significant personal level.

[dorkytracksuit]

He startles when she starts talking, for some reason not realizing staring at people generally prompted them to address you in some fashion. He shakes his head. He had enjoyed the ability to finally sit and rest, but now, he wanted to explore. To see what he could on this train before it took them wherever they needed to be.

"Your wings.." he starts, wondering about them, but not sure about what to ask. It was unusual, even in his time, to see a troll with such a mutation. "They're.. Nice."

[timelymaid]

"Thanks!!" A compliment about her wings will apparently always get a bright grin from Aradia, even if she...well, she was already smiling. Smiling is a thing she's done a lot of, since her rise up to godhood. Even if that apparently didn't work out at some point.

Oh, well. On to the next adventure.

"I usually leave them out because they're rather fun, I think. Admittedly I don't even really need them to fly, but it's just more interesting that way?" Not that she's, you know. Flying anywhere at the moment. "I'm Aradia, by the way!!"

[dorkytracksuit]

Leave them out? He doesn't dwell on it, fidgeting on his feet as the introductions begin.

"Her Helms-" No. That wasn't right, not anymore. He frowns, staring awkwardly behind her at the window, before shaking his head.

"Dasraa. I guess. Ψioniic."

He hasn't gone by the name in so long. It feels strange, like pulling on an old favorite shirt, only to see it no longer fits. The feeling leaves a bad taste in his mouth. Maybe he should have just introduced himself as Her Helmsman.

[timelymaid]

"I'm well acquainted with your descendant! It's nice to meet you, even given the unfortunate circumstances!" Despite said unfortunate circumstances, Aradia seems more or less cheerful about the entire thing. Which is probably a tad creepy of her, but...well, it's not like this isn't anything she hasn't done before.

Granted the reincarnation bit as it is being proposed is entirely new, but she's been dead before.

And this time around is a marked improvement on the last time. She's not having any trouble feeling things or remembering how feeling things felt. "You probably didn't know my own ancestor, but she was known in our time as the Handmaid."
