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.

We wanted our own Pizza Party too

[guiltlevel]

[ Can you believe Russell successfully wrangled Shinnosuke into helping him with this?

At the dining cart, like Hal said, there are the same kind of pizzas that are at the saloon right now. He'll be handing them off to Shinnosuke because HE'S STILL GOING TO HELP WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT. ]

[insincerely]

[Now they have pizza, and this trial is still a mess.

SIGH. But fine, he'll help out.]

Well, things are going well for Mr. Barnham, I guess.

[And if no one brings up the possibility that Xion's food or drink was drugged LIKE HE DID WITH LUST BACK THEN he's going to be so disappointed in everyone.

Maybe.

His expectations at this point are pretty low tbh.]

[guiltlevel]

[ But pizza makes everything better, right?

They're dead, maybe dead inside for a few people, with pizza. ]

Even if they find someone... They're not going to be happy when they have to vote.

[insincerely]

Are they ever happy? Is anyone here happy besides Dr. Lecter?

[sheriffexe]

[ I AM ]

[insincerely]

[YOU DON'T COUNT!!]

[guiltlevel]

He's....... Weird? Doctors are usually kind of weird.

[ Russell has always been suspicious of Dr. Lecter, but that's just because he was an adult. So uh. Yeah? ]

[insincerely]

... Heh. Can't argue against that.

[alcobrawlic]

... [ A low whistle. ]

Well, now it's a party.

[insincerely]

Okay, so who wants to reveal some huge secret once we're done eating? You know, so that we can mimic them.

[alcobrawlic]

Oh! Oh, I can do it!

[ BECAUSE IT WILL DISTRACT HER FROM THE MURDEROUS RAGE THAT SOMEONE CLUBBED PERCY WITH A BAT. ]

[insincerely]

All right, Teacher, shoot. Not literally, though.

[THINGS ARE GOING WELL.]

[alcobrawlic]

Once you're done eating. You have to finish at least one slice before I'll spill.

[guiltlevel]

[ Are you proud of him!!! He tried his best. ]

I thought it'd help... Doctor Kantera always says if you're hungry you get pessimistic thoughts.

[ Also, Shinnosuke was complaining. Side eyes him.. ]

[alcobrawlic]

Your doctor's not wrong. You were pretty gloomy when you hadn't eaten, ri--

[ ... ]

Although maybe you were kind of always like that. But in Shinnosuke's case, that's valid.

[insincerely]

I'm sorry to inform you that pizza does not magically transform me into an optimistic being full of sunshine and rainbows.

[guiltlevel]

[ Fuck off Shinnosuke. If Russell had his crayons with him he'd throw them right at him!!! ]

Maybe..? He doesn't look any better but he's . . . . [ How do you describe Shinnosuke. ]

Him...

[alcobrawlic]

[ Probably flicking a pepperoni at Shinnosuke?

No, definitely doing so. ]

It's all right, he's just naturally sarcastic. You did a good thing, Russell.

[ceded]

Is this really what you can call a party?

[ With a note of complaint. She's not eating. She's not hungry :( ]

[alcobrawlic]

It's a gathering of people eating, so-- yeah, close enough.

[ceded]

... I thought parties were supposed to be happy.

[ Just. Lets her head fall back on her shoulders, frowning at the ceiling forever ]

[insincerely]

[AND THEN]

... Really? That's really the theory you're coming up with?

[IT'S NOT ILLOGICAL especially considering his request to the Sheriff but

it's also super inaccurate (also stop spiting him milla)]

[ceded]

[ pressing a hand to her face, looking troubled and exasperated at once. ]

I ... I really didn't think everyone would believe I was that, um, suicidal.

[ She learned the word from whole ass!! thanks whole ass!!!!!!!! ]

There's no way I would have just let anyone kill me. Not even you. [ :/ tbh ]

[insincerely]

To be fair, you do come off that way.

[ceded]

.... really?

[ Looks. Kind of unsettled, staring at him for a moment before glancing away. ]

I ... I guess. For a long time that was probably true, but ... not lately. I decided I wanted to live, so...

[ A frown, and then she just. Shrugs. ]

I would have struggled. I wanted to scream or fight back, I just ... couldn't. Whatever Mr. Barnham drugged me with was really strong. But, Shinnosuke, I've been wondering... why were you outside?
