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. |

Xion,
Sorry I kept the reason for my survey a secret from you, but you figured it out now, right? I hope you like your bookmark! I wish I knew you liked purple earlier, or I would have made you a purple party hat, too, but I decided to make up for it by making sure you had a really pretty bookmark. I hope Pluto likes it, too! I made sure it had his favorite color!
You're really tough, you know. No matter what sort of bad stuff happens, you always get back up again. I remember when we first got to talk, you asked about the Hero Club, and you were worried you wouldn't be very good at it, but all this time, you've done a perfect job! Being a hero means keeping the people you love in your heart and letting that keep you on the right path so you can always get back up. It's exactly what you've been doing all this time! You're a natural! I'm proud of our Hero Club, and I'm proud that you're a part of it.
I'm really sorry. I know I've probably worried you and let you down, but even from here, I'm doing my best to help! No matter how far apart we are, I'm with you, too, and as long as you can remember to keep me in your heart, I'll do the same. That way, we're never really separated. When I think about making you smile, or about all your hard work, or about how happy I was that you wanted to be in the Hero Club, I feel really strong! Thank you for having faith in me all this time.
We're definitely going to see each other again! I know you and the others are working really hard, and we're doing our best from here, too. Tiara and Ao already went home, but it's nice to see Mister Tarvek again, and Higekiri-san and Mister Ezio have been taking care of me since I got here, and it's been good to be with Miss Valestein, Mister Walken, and Eliot since they got here, too! It's comfortable, so you don't have to worry about us at all.
Hero Club tenet: you're likely so succeed if you try. That's how I know for sure we'll see each other again soon, because you always try your best! You're so amazing!
I love you!
Yuna
P.S. Please pet Pluto a lot for me and give him lots of scratches behind the ears! Tell him I'll make up for it when we see each other again.
