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.]

Sheesh. Normally I make people way angrier. Or maybe I'm just used to people who are a lot more emotional.

Honestly, this is a nice change. It practically feels like retirement after all the afterlife shouting matches I used to get into.

[Give him time for the reality of what happened to fully sink in and you'll probably get that shouting after all.]

Death is something you're used to experiencing?

I spent a great deal of time in a purgatory-space like this one. I'm honestly more comfortable in the afterlife or the paratext or the bad-end-zone or whatever you want to call it than the material world. Human bodies are rather limiting, even if the train's magic gave me a nice one.

Now if only you could control the surroundings, right?

[Somehow, Proto suspects that letting Beatrice run this place would be a bad idea. Just a hunch.]

Ahaha, it would be nice to have a bit of a tea party, but whether the Empress is running this place or not, it still isn't "my domain". At least there's other people here, and I'm not relying on demons for company.
