bakerstreet | The Train to the Afterlife

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.

[Well, this is surprising!]

[When she didn't survive either pain or during the war]

[ well, this mean both steven and connie are dead. bummer. ]

Yo! [Hope someone wasn't having too much fun by themselves, because there just so happened to be a snack-cart right there and Little Ms. Blue-cloak was an obstacle impeding his path toward it.

Lucifer was done with obstacles. He was done with everything! He was dead!

Well, obviously not done with snacks because, shit, they were right there. Still. Blue-cloak. If she had known him when he was alive, the friendly smile might have been off-putting. Here? ...okay, so maybe it was still off-putting, but whatever.]

You mind moving, dude? [Point.] If they got chips in there, I need to claim 'em.
