the train to the afterlife meme.

Congratulations: You are dead.
Maybe you know how, maybe you don't. Perhaps the memory is fuzzy, or perhaps it's crystal clear down to the look in your comrades' eyes. Maybe it was your time; you've done all you wanted to. Or maybe you weren't at all ready to go, maybe you went out kicking and screaming - but none of it matters. You know you're dead, and the train is taking you to an afterlife. Perhaps an afterlife of your choice; you might've earned that heaven. Or perhaps you've earned something else entirely.
It'll be a bit of a journey, though, so you might as well take your time and talk to the other people in your coach. Death knows no place: most of them are strangers, even from faraway worlds. But death knows no time either, so who knows, some of them may be people you know, even if last you knew, they were alive - or long gone.
Oh look, here comes the snack cart.
All the usual:
- Post with your character's name and canon in the subject line.
- Said character is now dead for whatever reason - canon, AU, what have you. They are on a train with other dead people from many other times, places and worlds.
- Characters don't know for a fact where they're headed - just a general awareness that they're going to some kind of afterlife. Whatever they think it is is up to the player.
- This meme is built especially for cross-canon interaction, and potentially for threadjacking and group threading - if you're interested, may be a good idea to state as much in your subject line.
- Tag around and play nice!
- TRIGGER WARNING: Meme obviously deals with death and may deal with other unpleasant themes as a result. Please be cautious.

So, uh... My name's Korra.

Nice to meet you, Korra. I'm Aang.

I think... we're dead.

That... that can't be.

You're Korra. The next Avatar. We're dead. I'm still a kid. But I know I don't... I don't die yet, do I? [He looks down at his hands and tries to sort through his memories.]

He turns to face Korra, with a small smile.]
Maybe this is over for me. I... think there's something weird going on with my spirit. But you should be fine! You're... you're just here to train with my spirit. I probably have something really wise to tell you.

I've never been able to reach the spiritual side of this, but I've been bending three elements since I was four.
no subject
You could have... maybe you did it without knowing. I didn't have much of an idea what I was doing the first time I entered the Spirit World.
no subject
I can't really airbend either.

[He hops to his feet and begins to skip up the stairs, lost in the idea of mentoring Korra.]
Look! Look at this!
[He makes a circular movement and thrusts out his hand.
Nothing happens.]
no subject
Right. Spirits can't bend.
no subject
But I think there's more bad news.
no subject
What do you mean?
no subject
no subject
No. You couldn't have... [It's a second before he could gasp out the next few words.] the Avatar State?
no subject
no subject
Then... It's over.
