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.]

Do you make a habit of greeting the newcomers here?
no subject
Hehe... I wouldn't say a "habit?" I'm somewhat new here, myself. I just see someone struggling and it's in my nature to want to help, that's all. As much as I'm able, given our situation.
I'm Emma Millstein. In a better situation, it'd be a pleasure to meet you.
no subject
I'm Proto Man. The feeling's mutual.
no subject
"What you went through," though? I can't say I recognize you from the mansion. Were you, perhaps, in a different game...?
no subject
[Bear with him; he's trying to sort through the jumbled data.]
no subject
[She sighs deeply. Great. So there's more people running the same kind of horror show...?]
I'm very sorry to hear that.
no subject
[He would very much like to shoot at whoever's responsible, but his buster still doesn't work. Fantastic.]
no subject
Most of us here were in a dilapidated old mansion before this, forced to play the game by two extremely unpleasant "stewards."
I imagine even the worst trains I know of would have been a large step up from the mansion, but the end result is horrific either way.
no subject
Did your stewards ever lock up those close to you in a prison and use them as hostages to force you to kill? Because that was our first motive.
no subject
To reveal our darkest secrets to those we loved most. After that, the power to protect any one person of our choosing from harm. And the last one I witnessed, the power to undo one event in your past.
