The Train to the Afterlife

[ilovesockandroll]

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.

Shamelessly lifted and barely changed from this.

I'm not moving, I'm staying perfectly still!

[bombrun]

You -- are so moving!

[ Or Chuck is swaying. Either way. ]

[coeurinflexible]

I'm not, I'm not I swear.

[He laughs again and purposely begins to sway from side to side.]

What, didn't they teach you how to count in the academy?

[bombrun]

I'm gonna--punch you right in th'mouth--

[ Just let him get up without falling. Which.. Isn't going to happen because he is incredibly hampered by his drive suit. Basically, he's gonna fall on his ass and look like a jackass. ]

[It happens so quickly. One minute Chuck is there and the next he's on the floor and Yancy is ugly donkey laughing his ass off and beckoning for him to get up.

He gets out of his own chair and stands over him, offering hands to pull him up.]

C'mon, c'mere c'mere you have no idea what's on that floor.
