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.]

...I don't think I'd have chosen the Sun as a way to go out, if I had a choice, though. There are...less unpleasant ways to go.

...yeah, it wasn't. Especially with all those people from the audience... [Made it even more of a spectacle.]

[She laughs and all, but there's still a lot of melancholy to her voice.]
...I don't like this game. I've played the villain before, but it was on my own terms, not for the sick amusement of someone who publicly executes children.

If we're still thinking, it means we still exist. And if we still exist, we can get the Empress back for everything she's pushed us too, and all the suffering she's dealt to the others. Now that we're off the chess board, there's no limit to the moves we can make.

That's true. [She lifts a hand, flexing it slightly.] I wonder if we can show up as ghosts to bother her somehow...
