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.]

Variables are OK! I've been to enough kinds myself, charities and dungeons alike. This one is yours, but it just popped up out of nowhere, which is fishy, even for an ocean... yep! What defender of justice would sit idly by?

[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.)]

[Beatrice politely dusts off her shoes and picks up her skirt as she steps in.]

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?
7_0_7: (Pluto no longer part of the solar system)

[personal profile] 7_0_7 2019-08-03 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[thank you for that clarifier that you are not hitting on him, Beatrice. There's nothing too unusual about his eyes beyond the funny glasses, but they blink in surprise.]

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.]
killerclown: (I ain't even mad)

[personal profile] killerclown 2019-08-03 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Suddenly, there's the sound of a car door opening, before quickly slamming shut again.

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.]
silvertongueheir: (That was close)

[personal profile] silvertongueheir 2019-08-03 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Franciscus has been attracted by talk of visiting the mansion, but his expression shifts once he sees the clown nearby.]

You aren't going to try and bisect any of us again, are you?
awitchdidit: (been around for a long long year)

[personal profile] awitchdidit 2019-08-03 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Before Beatrice can explain her deduction, there's suddenly a clown. And the guy who looks like a different clown.]

What the hell? Franciscus, who's this guy?
killerclown: (Look at this hand it’s a nice hand)

[personal profile] killerclown 2019-08-03 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[The clown turns to her and...actually smiles. Someone that hasn't attacked him! He should be nice...or, not hostile anyway.]

The name's Popee, ma'am! Nice to meet ya!

[He offers a...hand(?) for her to shake.

Will she risk it?]
awitchdidit: (but what's puzzlin' you is the)

[personal profile] awitchdidit 2019-08-03 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, he hasn't offered her a deal...and risk is magic, in her world. She...delicately...returns the handshake.]
killerclown: (Little Twerp)

[personal profile] killerclown 2019-08-03 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He was kinda expecting her to say something along the lines of "Same here" but he'll take what he can get right now.

He'll just turn back around and argue with Seven some more.]
7_0_7: (This will all disappear.)

[personal profile] 7_0_7 2019-08-03 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
This... sure is happening! Anyway, we're off!
silvertongueheir: (What kind of ride)

[personal profile] silvertongueheir 2019-08-03 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
He's the clown I mentioned-the one who was here when the rest of us arrived from our original island.
7_0_7: (707's good deeds of the day: none.)

[personal profile] 7_0_7 2019-08-03 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, good thing he's already in the driver's seat, spinning the keys out of the clown boy's reach while he smiles over at Franciscus.]

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?
killerclown: (Somebody is angry)

[personal profile] killerclown 2019-08-03 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He won't say anything about the former considering he agrees, but the latter...]

Yes!

…well, I've driven!

Just give me the keys!

[Just. Childishly leaning over to try and grab them.

I'm not sorry]
7_0_7: (Beep beep.)

[personal profile] 7_0_7 2019-08-03 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Driven, or just driven mad? [he keeps the keys out of his reach, reaching down, and suddenly - he throws a bag of chips at him?] Here! It's the key to my heart!

Are you getting in, redhead number 3?
killerclown: (Somebody is angry)

[personal profile] killerclown 2019-08-03 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Wap!

Things continue to smack this kid in the face. At least this one he can eat!

He opens the bag and starts eating the chips, not even trying to be neat as he glares at Seven.]


I've driven a car!

…I'm still not moving.

[And to prove his point, he clicks his seatbelt. He ain't leaving.]
7_0_7: Space. (A space without gravity.)

[personal profile] 7_0_7 2019-08-03 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
RIP, honey butter chips... you will be remembered...

[he mumbles this quietly under his breath as if he doesn't have a million of these bags stashed in other places in the car. But he's just accepting his fate with the seatbelt dealie. So once Fran gets in, he's taking off]
silvertongueheir: (I had in store)

[personal profile] silvertongueheir 2019-08-03 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose. It could be an interesting journey. [He'll get in the back, keeping an eye on Popee.]
7_0_7: (I can't make the same mistakes.)

[personal profile] 7_0_7 2019-08-03 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's also side eying Popee and mouthing thank you at Fran for watching him so he can watch the road!! And with this, the car is starting up to fly-drive just close enough to the surface of the sea to make it spray behind them, because it looks more dramatic that way.]
awitchdidit: (just as every cop is a criminal)

[Beatrice is honestly thrilled to be here now. She might be less so if her memory wasn't Swiss-cheesed, but as she is now she can enjoy the thrill of speeding over the water.]

Ahaha, wonderful! I should enchant a car myself. I never realized how fun this would be.
7_0_7: (707's good deeds of the day: none.)

[personal profile] 7_0_7 2019-08-06 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Why not? The only thing more exciting than a fast car is a fast car that doesn't bother with time and space!

[not that this is really a TARDIS. He's the one allowing it to not bother.]
awitchdidit: (allow me to introduce myself)

[personal profile] awitchdidit 2019-08-06 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so happy to be back in a realm where those are bullshit, you have no idea.
7_0_7: (This will all disappear.)

[personal profile] 7_0_7 2019-08-06 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You prefer it? [He doesn't entirely relate there but it's a neutral reaction.]

Well, it beats being erased!

[And since she's in such a good mood, he decides to speed up. That way they can really feel the roaring breeze!]
awitchdidit: (allow me to introduce myself)

[personal profile] awitchdidit 2019-08-07 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Is that a big problem where you come from?
7_0_7: (Can I really enter your world?)

[personal profile] 7_0_7 2019-08-07 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a feature of my home - I was in a Game too, a long time ago. It's just a reality of the afterlife for a lot of the clusters... necessity for ones that have Noise invasions. They're what do the erasing for the most part.
