A Reckoning...
[You are dead.
Where you awaken is not of your cabin on the train but rather firm earth, the skies above you being nothing but an inky blackness as for as you can see. And yet throughout the darkness, you are surrounded by soft lighting and peculiar music playing all around you. When your senses become less muddled, you will notice that the music playing is upbeat and joyful almost. But let's face it, you are probably thinking this is some sort of creepy hell that you got yourself into after biting the bullet.
It all depends if you find circuses to be such a place because that is where you find yourself. The setting feels more antique than what you may assume a circus to look like, more Victorian themed than what one can be called. First the sound picks up and then you can smell something delectable in the air, catching popped corn and fried sweets and maybe something to drink? It's more than likely here.
Going down the main way, you can see some classic carnival games such as skee ball, ring toss, balloon popping if you are inclined to try and take your mind of the fact that you didn't have a choice in coming here. But despite the joyous air of the circus, there are not many people here that can help you out...or are there?
Lost souls just like yourself who met with the same horrible fate...perhaps an accord can be struck. After all, it looks like you will be here for awhile.]

"The Witch of this land?" I hardly know if I count as the witch, but I can promise at least that I had nothing to do with this. I find the whole thing rather unsettling, myself.
[If Beatrice turns to look, she'll see a somewhat meek-looking girl in glasses, somewhere in her late teens, with a pair of black skeletal wings extending from her shoulder blades.]
And if there is a "Victoria Misericordia" among us, I have not caught sight of her.
no subject
Ahaha, I'll settle for "a" witch, if you can help explain what's going on.
Perhaps to be more general, I was expecting to meet the mastermind of the game I was part of before arriving - something that I understand is a common background here? She was supposedly an immortal sorceress, and I fully expected her to keep my spirit hanging around after shuffling me off the mortal coil.
[It's what she'd do, after all.]
no subject
Hehe, well. I think I can do that.
I was a part of a horrible game before arriving here, as well. Motivated to kill each other week after week, and then forced to find and execute the guilty in trial. I suppose that sounds similar?
As far as I can tell, we all woke up here once we passed on from our games. I do not believe the masterminds of such actually appear here, though. I am not even certain they know of this place's existence.
For the best. Our masterminds were quite foul.

Eddie?
You... you don't happen to mean Eddie Kim, do you?
[Welp. This is going to be awkward for her and awesome for Beatrice.]

no subject
I admit I never really got to know him, but, ah... he was in our game with us. Died within the first week. And he was here, as well... until, um. He met his rather gruesome end a couple days ago.
So, if it's any consolation, you are forever free of him?
no subject
But it's nice to know he's getting what he deserves.
no subject
I will hold out hope for you, at least. Not that I'm all for gruesome deaths, but... he did seem to be a nasty fellow.
no subject
no subject
Y-yes... I suppose that is one way to look at it.
[And then something occurs to her.]
Oh! I haven't introduced myself, yet, have I? Sorry about that.
My name is Emma Millstein. Circumstances aside, it's a pleasure to meet you.
no subject
Hm...let's just leave it at Beatrice, I think.
no subject
[Have a smile. This girl is 100% too sweet and genuine. How is she a witch, again?]
no subject
So, Emma, is there anything to do around here besides be mildly unnerved?
no subject
Things do happen sometimes. The monster that ate Eddie, for example. Before I arrived, Yotsuyu apparently hit a clown with a car... so I suppose it's a matter of watching and waiting?
