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.

[ Emotions are killing him on the inside, my dude.

Russell averts his eyes for a moment, then points to the name beside Higekiri -- Sara Valestein. ]


She did it...
sunnashi: (floors are good for contemplating)

[ ...Ah. ]

I'm confused. She wouldn't normally do something like kill for revenge... She's a very level-headed person.

[ Higekiri has enough emotion for the both of them, even in its subtleness because he's the cuckoo Genji brother. This is... upsetting. ]

You probably saw, but she was kind to me before I died... Was it the same for you?

She said she... Didn't want Percy to go after the killer, so she did it instead.

[ Not exactly a revenge kill? But still... Depends on how you look at it.

But there's a small nod, and Russell just looks down. ]


She . . . Patted my head, and it felt like something a mother would do. Do they do that..? I wouldn't know... But......

[ What Are Parents. ] She was kind......

I've never had a mother either, but yes... They do that. It's comforting, I do them for my brother too.

[ The top of Russell's head is reserved for his not!Mom now, but he can rub his shoulder. ]

I bet it wasn't easy for her... And it seems like bandits are pretty disposable, aren't we? I guess that's fair.

Siblings do it too..? I guess... Tabasa did it to me once. . .

[ He looks down, he still misses the dream inhabitants. ]

I'm not mad but. . . I offered to do it myself, so she didn't have to do that to me. But she said she had to take responsibility... So, I don't know.
sunnashi: (how does it go)

[personal profile] sunnashi 2017-02-26 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
You have siblings?

[ Please be good ones who take care of Russell... PLEASE. (something probably says otherwise and that is why he's getting adopted.) ]

Adults want to be responsible. It helps take the weight off of a child's shoulders. But, that is very like her to care about it like that, you know.

[ ... ]

I gave myself up weeks ago so that Ezio wouldn't feel more guilty than he already felt. So I understand, a little.

[ Oops. ]

Not my sibling. He's . . . dead.

[ And he killed him. OOPS. ] ... ... He was kind of like a big brother to me though, I think.

I still don't know much about family though.

[ Russell's still trying to grasp onto the entire "guilt" concept. He especially feels guilty about what he's done, so... Hm. ]

I guess. . . That makes sense..? It must've been hard for him... ... To live with that guilt, then.
