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.

How do you bend water? It's a liquid! And an Orc is a nasty, vile monster that'll kill you soon as look at you.

[ In answer, Toph reaches forward to the metal back of the chair in front of her.

And...peels it off in one swipe. PROPERTY DAMAGE, HELL YEAH. ]

I don't. I bend earth. And metal.

Never heard of an orc before, but that sucks.

['Scuse him, he's too busy gaping]

You just--that metal, you ripped it clean off and you're smaller and younger than me!

[ Yeah, feel free to gape. SHE'S AMAZING, SHE KNOWS IT. Only truly amazing people get huge statutes of themselves built. ]

I'm the greatest earthbender who ever lived!

[ Or died. Um. ]

Of course I ripped it off. ...Eh, I don't feel like putting it back.

[ Whatever. ]

You could put it back? But there's no forge and--how could you put it back?

...Same way I ripped it off, but in reverse?

[ She's just more naturally inclined to break stuff than build it sometimes. ]

[Kili is the most amazed Dwarf in the history of Dwarves. He laughs]

That's incredible! Oh, there are smiths who would kill to be able to work the metal like that I'd wager, so easily and quickly. Not so sure how they'd take the lack of a forge, but...

I guess Sokka finds it useful?

[ He likes smithy stuff. Though he didn't let her help with his sword, but that was a test of manhood or something. ]

Anyway, you'd have to be an earthbender to start with, and then have something extra to go from there.

Earthbender? Is that a name for a type of Wizard?

[Why didn't Gandalf tell them these things?

Wait a second. It's Gandalf.]

Uh...no. It's a type of bender. I guess we're all from different worlds or whatever, according to some girl who read my pamphlet for me.

[ SOUNDS CRAZY, but since no one but her knows the basic facts of life (BENDING) it keeps getting more and more legitimate as an option. ]

Is a bender a type of Wizard, then?

...Okay, guy, you have to let the wizard thing go, here.

[ THERE ARE NO WIZARDS. ]

But why? What you are doing is clearly magic! I've never heard of a girl Wizard before but I never paid much attention to that sort of thing anyway.

I'm not a wizard! I'm a bender! It's not magic, it's natural.

So's magic! I think, anyway. There's nothing unnatural about Gandalf, at least.

I. Do. Not. Have. Magic.

[ THERE IS NO SUCH THING OF MAGIC, ALSO. ]

Were you even listening to the "from different places" bit?

[Geez, if she had a beard he'd think she was a young Dwarf.]

Alright, alright. I didn't meant to offend you.

[He shrugs at her question though]

I don't see what that has to do with magic.

Why would every world have the same stuff?

Because it's magic.

[Duh]

Okay, you have got to get over your magic obsession, man.

[ IT'S GETTING A BIT WORRYING.

WHAT IS YOUR THING WITH MAGIC AND WIZARDS. ]
