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.]

[ Upon hearing her voice, Atsushi looked up and instantaneously went pale. He wasn't mad at her for what had happened, but there was also a LOT of emotions he was feeling right now regarding his death. Not to mention he was still trying to process everything and what it meant for her to be here with him after he'd been killed. ]

...Eliza...

[ The thing she might note is that Atsushi really doesn't look angry as he took a couple steps forwards just then. On the one side, if she'd died then it meant the others had figured out who had really killed him but this also meant that she hadn't been able to save her brother, either. ]

I didn't think I'd see you here.

[ Mostly cause a small part of him had selfishly hoped she'd succeed and get to spare her brother. Having someone innocent sacrificed wouldn't have been much better, but this was all a messy situation to start with. ]

[She doesn't really expect anger, considering what his last words were. Still, seeing him postmortem is different from hearing it from his dying gasp. She lowers her head, hands clenched into fists as tears trickle down her cheeks.]

They...they started accusing Zack, and I couldn't sacrifice one of my siblings for the other. So...I gave them the full evidence they needed. They would probably have voted for him, otherwise.

At...at least the Conductor said everyone'd be spared the Midnight Cells. [She'd been relieved to hear that, to know that no matter what Luce wouldn't suffer the pain of forced aging.]

[ Suddenly everything makes a lot more sense with how things had went up there. Not in a bad way, but that put a new perspective on all of it. ]

I... can't say I blame you. If I were in your place, I would have done the same.

[ Then there was that being said and Atsushi looked a little relieved, his shoulders relaxing just a touch from how they'd been before now. ]

That's good. I was worried something would happen to those I cared about once I died. [ He seriously can't express how happy that does make him feel honestly knowing that. At least for now they'd be left alone now that he was gone, even if it was a bit of a bitter and unpleasant thought at the same time. ] B-Besides that, how are you feeling? Are you going to be okay?

[ It goes without saying that they ARE dead so that's something but he can at least ask all the same. ]

[She sighs a little when she hears that. There's really a way to push almost anyone to kill, isn't there? Secrets, wishes, loved ones...at least that means they're not going to chafe against each other the whole time they're here.]

I...I think so. I don't feel stiff or anything. [Not like Minato...]

[ Everyone has that one thing that would make them get pushed over the edge and even he is no exception. ]

That's good. I'm glad.

[ Seriously. Considering the way Beatrice died at the last vote, he had to see if there was no added side effects of that whole mess. ]

I... just have to ask. H-How did everyone take it? My... My death.

[Yeah, she definitely looks ashamed when he asks that question.] ...not well. I think your head must have fallen off and rolled away at some point, so everyone was pretty shocked by that already...Minato was carrying it at the trial and he refused to let go of it.

[ Honestly he hadn't meant to make her feel bad but he really did want to know how things had went after he was gone, but now almost regretted it. ]

...I didn't think he'd just bring my head with him to trial.

[ Just gonna wince a bit at that thought before shaking his head, a hand coming up to lightly touch against the thin red scar that went around his neck briefly. A slight habit he'd developed since gaining this 'power'. ]

I'd kept that a secret for good reason since I didn't need something like that being used against me. That and it just... bothers me still. I only ever told one person about it... more like it was an accident, b-but still.

[Eliza nods.] It-it did give you the element of surprise, when I saw your head get knocked off and your body keep moving. If-if Blaggut hadn't interrupted, you'd probably have been able to stop me there.
