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.

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.

I'm Roxy. What took you out?

Old age. I...think?

[ It's all really vague.

But hey, what else could take out the great Toph Beifong? ...Ignoring the fact she's thirteen again in terms of size and looks and clearest memories, hrm. ]

You?

Um. The entire universe exploded? So I didn't have anywhere to come back to life to.

I think. Don't quote me on that.

...Whoa, how'd it explode? Did you blow it up?

[ SAY YOU BLEW IT UP. ]

No, there was this big green asshole named Caliborn or some shit. I'm not sure about the details of that. I wouldn't wanna blow up the universe. I live there, that'd be fuckin' stupid..

Why'd he blow it up?
