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. |

PERCY JACKSON (+SHINNOSUKE)
I'm sorry I didn't make it To our training session. Practicing swordplay was always One of my favorite things to do before we were brought here, and I feel like I had a lot to Learn from you. Maybe someday we'll meet again and be able to spar for real.
I can walk again, so if we do meet, I'll be a much better practice partner.
I'm sure you're wondering why I wrote to you out of Everyone I could have chosen. I'll be the first to Admit that although I greatly admired both you and Miss Annabeth, we unfortunately weren't as well-acquainted as I would have hoped. The truth is, I'm still hoping that we can be friends, even if the only way we can talk now is through these letters.
Will it bother you Very much if I keep sending them until the game is over?
Aside from that...
Please do not worry over anyone who's on this side. I know that I can't tell you not to worry about Miss Annabeth, really, but this place is much nicer than I believed it would be, and we aren't suffering. Of course we would all prefer to live and go home, but we'll be alright until the outcome of the game is decided.
And to that End, I should tell you that I believe in you. There will undoubtedly be people on this side who are trying to pass information to you. Should you receive any, I hope you will share it with Shinnosuke, Miss Xion, and Mister Jason. I also hope that they will share anything they learn with you as well and that you will all capitalize on that knowledge. My advice to you would be that if you notice anything strange or out of place, you should pay attention to it... but be careful!
I really do believe that Miss Xion, Shinnosuke, Mister Jason, and you can save us.
We'll be waiting to see all that accomplish. We trust you.

P.S.
If you wouldn't mind it, I'd appreciate it if you could read the next paragraph to Shinnosuke. Please feel free to imitate me as much as you would like, up to and including giving him a little smack if he acts like a jerk. Thank you!
Shinnosuke, you're a real jerk, you know that? Calling Me a moron. I'll admit that running into a stampede was Utterly stupid of me, but did nobody teach you not to Speak ill of The Dead? I would hit you, If I could do that from here. I'll do what you suggested, but only if you promise to be nice and cooperate with Mister Percy, Miss Xion, and Mister Jason, Even if you get the urge to be rude. You could really stand to learn to let people in, you know? Share with them. Let them share with you. I know you don't like other people, but I think Miss Xion, you, Mister Jason, and Mister Percy could be a good team if you capitalize on every resource you have. Write to me again, please. It's nice to see your words, even if I can't hear your voice.
