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. |

INSTEAD, we're just doing to discuss how unfortunate it is that absolutely nothing about their deaths is what it looked like. ]
Really? ... ugh. [ Makes a face. ] ... did that mean Mr. Barnham was going after you, specifically, too?
no subject
Probably. He had to have asked Mr. Sheriff to leave me outside, or something like that.
no subject
... he didn't tell you why, did he? [ Her mouth is pulling to one side in some consternation. ] He at least gave me a reason. I wonder if he even knew you were a Bounty.
no subject
I don't know if he knew about my role, though. Wouldn't be surprised if he did, since Mr. Sheriff probably wasn't above telling people at that point.
no subject
As much as I hate that he did this, I ... think they'll still need him. If they can't figure out another way to win, Mr. Barnham is starting to seem like one of the whole people who really could be one of the only ones left standing. [ A huff. ] He probably thought he was protecting you, too.
no subject
I just also really wish he'd talk to Percy or one of the others, because he's screwing up all our plans and I don't really like to see all our effort go down the drain because of this.
