GRAVEYARD

So, you're dead. Shame, that.

But on the other hand, it's actually kind of nice.

When you "wake" in some odd version of it, you'll find yourself lying on a rather plush bed. It's cozy and warm and just soft enough to tempt anyone back into sleep. The room is equally nice, if small, and when you turn and open the curtains to look out the window, you will see... wait, is that the town?

It is, actually. The town is laid out quite simply across the window and no matter how many times you may bang or wave through the window, no one seems to notice you. If you're smart enough to give up the venture and leave the small bedroom, you will notice that, of course, you are on the train.

The train that, is actually pretty fancy.

Moving through it, past the sleeping cabins and through to the main carts, you will find a dining car with fine dishware and meals of all kinds made at a push of a button or a request given to the air. They'll appear, freshly made and ready to eat at the table of your choice with any drink you could want. There truly doesn't seem to be any limits when it comes to the luxury of the meal.

There is also a bathhouse car with private bathrooms and saunas to fit up to four. Even one rather large room containing a small pool/hot tub of sorts is available for just about anyone to take a dip. It's kind of outlandish, honestly.

Then the lounge car, with its library and plush armchairs and couches. A pool table, a darts board, even a small area dedicated to painting. There's a bar too, fully stocked and ready for anyone who needs a drink. All it would require is a request from the bartender who... looks surprisingly familiar?

The Sheriff is there, much cleaner cut than his counterpart outside of the train. He looks up mildly at any arrivals, giving them a nod of greeting before going back to organizing bottles or setting cigars out for a smoke. He doesn't seem to be surprised at all by anyone who appears. Just... ready to serve them, whatever they may wish.

It all sort of seems okay for a moment, until you realize you're just here to wait for the game to end. Awkward.

a_sin_for_him: (disturbing news)

[Oh. It's the sweet girl. Lust wouldn't say they were close, by any definition, but Yuna had been very kind to her. And so...earnest, in her kindness. Helpful, even. It's disappointing to see her here. It's such a strange to thing, to offer postmortem condolences, but it's becoming more and more familiar.]

I'm sorry you've joined us.
cherrypuncher: (even though you leave me)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-19 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. It isn't your fault. [She's as smiley as ever, one way or another.] I wish it wasn't like this, but it's nice to see you again, Miss Lust.
a_sin_for_him: (Fond thoughts)

[personal profile] a_sin_for_him 2017-02-19 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
No, but it's still unpleasant. It's...nice to see you as well, despite the circumstances.

And please, no 'miss'. I've never been comfortable being addressed with social titles.

You seem alright, all things considered.
cherrypuncher: (we keep on churning)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-20 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, sorry... Lust, then! [it feels weird just calling her "Lust" but?!?! whatever makes her comfortable!!]

I'm just really happy to know Jason and Milla are safe... And anyway, it won't do me any good to sit around and mope! [She flexes, and determinedly pumps her first.] Despite what happened, I get to see some of my friends again, and even just the fact that I'm still here is worth being happy about.
a_sin_for_him: (are you sure?)

[personal profile] a_sin_for_him 2017-02-21 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
No, I suppose there's no sense in moping or self pity. It happens to us all, and this isn't a bad afterlife. I daresay there's more to do here than out there.

[Lust awkwardly reaches out to pat Yuna's shoulder, because what is comfort or normal human interaction? But people touch each other to offer comfort or support.]

And we're in good company.
cherrypuncher: (for sure this pain will surely pass)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-21 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Gold star for effort!! The contact makes Yuna perk up a little more, though, so it's a victory.]

It looks really comfortable. You've gotta show me what the most fun things to do here are!

[tell her about the stuff you like, Lust!!!!]
a_sin_for_him: (sure i believe you)

[personal profile] a_sin_for_him 2017-02-21 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It is very comfortable. There's a nice library...and a bar.

[Lust's still developing (or maybe finding) her sense of 'fun'.]
cherrypuncher: (we need to get the blood back in 'em)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-21 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Small steps are still steps!! Yuna is proud of her!!!]

Will you show me the library? [Books aren't her thing but!! she wants to see the stuff Lust likes!!!! and she is too young and too good a bean for the bar]
a_sin_for_him: (sure i believe you)

[personal profile] a_sin_for_him 2017-02-21 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. Do you like to read?

[Is that something children like to do? Lust really isn't sure. But no, the bar wouldn't be the place to take Yuna. So to the library it is!]
cherrypuncher: (hey don't take it out on me)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-22 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'm the type who'd rather just go see the movie, actually...

[she's pretty dumb.]

Anything's exciting if you're with someone you like who's excited about it themselves, though!
a_sin_for_him: (puzzled)

[personal profile] a_sin_for_him 2017-02-23 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
We don't have those where I come from. Well, we have moving pictures, but they don't sound like what I've heard 'movies' described as. We have plays and radio programs.

[And she's never actually seen much of the picture shows. They sound exciting, though.]

Oh?
