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.

That's understandable.

And if you want, I can totally punch him for it. But at least you know, if it's any consolation, that he wanted to save you.

I always thought he wanted to save me. [ She shifts a little ducking her head with a guilty shrug. ] I know I was being reckless... actually, until now, I thought that was the only reason. That he just ... wanted to stop me from endangering myself worse.

[ Xion glances away, sighing through her nose. ] It's not like I think he's a bad person. I tried to tell him that everyone would need him, as I was falling asleep, though ... I don't know if it made any sense. I don't really remember.

[ drugs are a hell of a thing. ]

I just ... wanted to do more to help, that's all. But they'll probably be better off without me messing things up worse. [ A sheepish smile. ] ... and besides, if we see him, I want to be the one to punch him.
alcobrawlic: (For the first time in history)

[personal profile] alcobrawlic 2017-02-25 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Fair enough!

[ One less tally, honestly. And Sara ruffles Xion's hair with a slightly warmer smile. ]

Right now, all we can do is support everyone. So if you'd be willing to help me explain to every person he murders from now on what's going on, I'd appreciate it.

.... I don't mind helping with that. [ With a faint, very crooked smile. ] Jeez. You make it sound like it's going to be a lot...
alcobrawlic: (Go get yourself wet)

[personal profile] alcobrawlic 2017-02-25 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope it's not going to be a lot, but we've got... what, eleven people left out there now? If he doesn't tell anyone, he's going to have a lot on his hands.

... yeah. [ more somber now. ] We'll have to do everything we can to help and encourage him from here. Trying to do everything alone... will probably only hurt him, in the end.
