The Train to the Afterlife Meme

In this meme, your character has died. Maybe they died in canon, maybe there's an AU scenario that leads to their death, or perhaps there's another reason they've passed on.

No matter the circumstances, your character finds themselves aboard a train heading wherever they're going after their deaths.

It's a spacious train, there's plenty of room for everyone and they're free to move about the cars, the train is equipped with the standard amenities one would expect for a long journey: cozy cars for resting, dining cars for eating, luggage cars filled with many bags or maybe none at all, fuel cars, and the engine and caboose, along with anything else you'd like your characters to encounter.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

[Based on this Train to the Afterlife meme and many others that have appeared on bakerstreet and other meme communities. I felt bad just copy-pasting, so I wrote up my own version inspired by them.]

[Ralph smiles slightly as Ram plops down, keeping things casual. While it was disappointing and frustrating that he had died, it was a nice change of pace to be relaxed and actually having a conversation with somebody. Plus, the accommodations were a lot nicer than the cells and there was much more freedom.

He gives him a nod.]

Same to you.

[He shifts in his seat just slightly, adjusting his position to get a little more comfortable. He meant what he said, it'd be better if the two of them were alive, maybe if they had been able to team up, they could've escaped.

Ralph's not the best at social situations, he hadn't had much time to adjust to his game before being held prisoner in Tron, and then the talk was few and far between there.]

So, what game did you come from?

[In his world, the native Programs of the Tron arcade game regenerated no matter how many times they were killed, so he's assuming that Ram had been taken hostage like him.]


[[ <3! Ah, thank you so much! My cold's pretty much all gone! ^_^ How are you feeling?]]

[actuarially]

[wry] All of 'em, I guess. I was an actuarial program before the Master Control took over. He'd already appropriated somebody with my functions, so I got zapped down to the Game Grid. Don't think they cared what games they tossed me into.

[nope, he's only died once, but he sure made it count. >>]

How about yourself? Did you start out as a video warrior? [because he's pretty sure Ralph would have been an impressive one.~]


[[Yay!~ I'm doing okay! Very busy, but okay. :) ]]

[That wasn't quite the answer Ralph was expecting, so there's a look of confusion on his face. However, the more Ram explains, the more it becomes clear. There's still a few things he's stuck on, so he decides to bring them up.]

So, you belonged in the game, but still got a Game Over? Did your console get unplugged or somethin'?

[If it wasn't for the fact that he knew escape from the Tron game was near impossible, he'd ask if Ram had left and gotten killed in another game.]

And, uh, what's an actuarial program?

[He's not going to ask questions without giving answers of his own, so it's his turn to talk about his story.]

Yes an' no. I belonged to another video game as the resident Bad Guy. Didn't get to do the job long, though, I wandered into Tron one day and never got out. The MCP had me captured and stuffed in a cell, pretty sure he did it to a buncha the others as well. There were always stories of characters disappearin' from their games, never knew why until I got thrown into the games.

I was put only on disc wars, none of the light cycles were big enough to fit me. I never was one for drivin', anyway.


[[I'm so glad to hear it! ^_^ Sorry you're busy though (unless you want to be, then it's great :D ). :) ]]
