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.]

EXPLORING
However, it would be wise to bring the people who might be familiar with those landmarks with you.]
no subject
We're going. Now.
[He had to see for himself. Even if it resulted in disappointment, he had to know.]
no subject
[ She looks over to where Jun happens to be and waves at him. ]
Hey, Jun! Wanna come along and check out an island?
no subject
no subject
[Not like his will be any more useful, but at least it sounds like some people didn't get complete jokes.]
no subject
[ She claps her hands together, almost brimming with energy. ]
So! There's a boat we can use to get over there to the island, I think. Let's grab one and head over!
no subject
[He heads over towards them and undoes the knot on the oars, then heads over to the supply boat and grabs a blanket, tossing it to Proto with no hands.]
I don't know how much water will affect you right now, but it's another layer just in case.
no subject
...Thank you.
[He drapes the folded blanket over his arm for now and joins Jun and Little Miss Sunshine to see how he can help prepare.]
no subject
Sorry for not introducing myself before. You can call me Akko!
[ She then looks back to Jun after a moment. ]
Anything I can do to help?
no subject
no subject
[Nope, totally not awkward at all there, Proto.]
Good. Let's get going, then. If it's as I remember, there shouldn't be much to worry about in terms of security.
no subject
[ Without missing a beat, she doesn't even seem bothered at all by Proto's awkwardness in the least. ]
Nice to meet ya too! It's good we're having you with us since you seem to know the place so that just makes everything much easier!

...if anyone not going with Proto Man wants to investigate a spooky murder island with the resident spooky witch, I'll take a party. Otherwise, I suppose it can wait.
[Read: she wants to go but she ain't rowing that distance herself.]
no subject
Did someone say party?
no subject
no subject
[never mind that he's been sitting idly by a lot lately - this clearly has more of his interest than, say, fighting a monster.
in any case, he's opening the back seat up for her like an uber driver.]
Be delicate with my baby! That's my one condition. [the baby is of course the car. It's in excellent condition considering it already ran over a clown while it was here. (Was he making it nice again it all that time Des was idle, probably.)]
no subject
Thank you. A defender of justice, hm? You don't strike me as the traditional hero type.
[She looks a little closer at his eyes.]
Bear in mind this is a question entirely of intellectual curiosity, but are you an angel?
no subject
Wow! You're quick on the uptake. I'd ask how I blew my cover, if I was trying to have one at all.
[He figures she may have overheard the whole Judgement thing. Then again, it's not impossible his fluffy white wings are perceptible by someone with a high enough ESPer level.]
no subject
The clown is now in shotgun, giving a nonchalant look towards Seven.]
I have no idea what you two are doing, but I am so coming along.
So you better give me the keys, because I'm not budging from up here.
[I assure you, it will be completely fine to let the clown drive, you will not regret it.]
no subject
You aren't going to try and bisect any of us again, are you?
no subject
What the hell? Franciscus, who's this guy?
no subject
The name's Popee, ma'am! Nice to meet ya!
[He offers a...hand(?) for her to shake.
Will she risk it?]

Well that was clearly all a big misunderstanding, juuust like thinking he's going to drive anywhere!
[he looks back at Popee.] Seriously, do you even have a license?
no subject
Yes!
…well, I've driven!
Just give me the keys!
[Just. Childishly leaning over to try and grab them.
I'm
