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.]

[ There's just a second where he processes everything Jun just told him, followed by something of a shaky laugh. ]
At least your power sounds useful. What I could do before showing up back there was infinitely better and I kind of miss it now.

[ Atsushi sighed a bit at that. ]
Again, it sounds much more useful compared to what mine is.

It's better I show you instead of trying to explain it. Just... be warned. It's a bit... ah... jarring.
[ With that said, he reached his hands up to the visible, thin red scar that goes around his neck and pressed along it before his head just popped off. Though because he expected this? He caught it and held it with both hands as he tilted his body forwards slightly.
Just enough so Jun could see that he was made of wax, smooth and shiny where his head had parted from his neck. Same with the wick that clearly stood out in the center of it. ]
I'm essentially some kind of living candle.
no subject
Y... yeah. Sure.
[He blinks and flinches back slightly, ignoring the scream in his ear.]
no subject
...Sorry. I didn't mean to bring up some bad memories or anything like that.
[ Things like this are why he can't easily accept this 'power' he was given. ]
