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.

Middle-Earth? [ He cocks his head to one side, trying to figure this out. Was it another one of those human sayings he'd never quite been able to grasp? ]

So, is that why you're such a short human? Because you live in the middle of the Earth?

[ Damn it. His turian was definitely showing there, wasn't it? ]

[youngestone]

[Rude. Kili huffs, offended]

I'm not short! I'm taller than my brother and nearly as tall as Dwalin! And I'm not a Man either--I'm a Dwarf.

[centurian]

Hey, I have no idea who Dwalin is, but I'll take your word for it.

[ Though now he's kinda confused. Seriously, if you're not supposed to be human... why do you look so much like one, Kili? ]

I don't know. You still look a lot like a short human to me. Is that the biggest difference between your species?

[youngestone]

No! There is a great deal more that's different between us and if I could stand I'd show you just how much!

[Short human. Kili's not usually given to losing his temper but...well, he's a Durin. They all have them, and Kili's temper happens to be triggered when people assume he's anything but a Dwarf.

Lack of beard will do that]

[centurian]

You know, you could just tell me. I'm not trying to insult your... dwarfian pride or anything.

[ Especially because he can't help but feel any fight between the two of them would be... really one-sided at the moment. He's de-aged back to his prime, and this guy looked like death.

...Okay. that was a little insensitive (the temper does remind him a little of a krogan, though). ]

[youngestone]

No, I couldn't.

[And he very clearly will not argue that. Kili was never very good at remembering which bits they could tell others and which they couldn't so he generally never talks about being a Dwarf. Showing off's more fun, anyway]

What're you, anyway?

[centurian]

Why not?

[ Is it because dwarves really are just small humans? Because that's totally what Garrus is going to assume.

But hey, he'll be friendly enough and share a few tidbits with this small human. ]

Like I said, I'm a turian. Our homeworld, Palaven is a few relay jumps away from Earth, if that means anything to you. We didn't exactly get off to the best start with the humans, but we've been allies for a few decades now.

[youngestone]

[There's a moment as Kili tries to make sense of anything this....well, he's not a person but what this person just said]

Sorry, but I have no idea what you just said.

[centurian]

...what didn't you get about it?

[ He thought it'd been pretty simple. ]

[youngestone]

Everythin'? Relay jumps? Earth? Homeworld?
