Spirit Tracks
Who: Ziggy, Nekane, Kisara, Minako, Serena, Bai Lin, Doreen, Keith, Ryuji, Ren Amamiya
What: Trying to calm a train, possibly via suplexing
When: June 10th
Warnings: Death-related stuff, possible stirring of traumatic memories
[Boarding the train is easy, perhaps surprisingly so, given how many of the mission group are fully alive. Once on board, however, they'll find that the cars don't even passingly resemble the outside structure of the train, arranged in a confusing mess of doors and cabins. The ghostly passengers drift about, passing easily through walls as they move through the train, mostly indifferent to the boarding team.
Mostly. Some of the spirits will try to approach the living, wearing the appearance of people they know to have died, and try to convince them to settle down and join them in the ride to the afterlife. Their arguments can be compelling, especially to those who have lost loved ones, but not supernaturally so. Conspicuously, they don't try to touch the targets of their arguments, and move away from attempts by the living to touch them. If someone should make contact, the illusion breaks, and the ghost is revealed to be nothing more than an unfamiliar interloper.
To anyone not immediately distracted by the dead (or the valuable cargo), something is obviously amiss as soon as they board. Sigils are painted on windows, or chalked onto the walls and floors of the cabins. They radiate obvious magic, and those with the knowledge to identify it will recognize it as a form of necromancy.]

Is there such a thing as reincarnation?

She's quiet for a moment and just starting to move again.]
Previously, when I shifted, but I know what that missing time is now. But in my actual past? No.

That guy may have had some connection with you in your past, or maybe even in a past life. But that doesn't mean he has any control over you or who you are. When you get right down to it, no one can decide who you are but you.
no subject
Is my heart supposed to hurt? Not... in a medical way, but in an aching sort of way? [What does that even mean.]
no subject
[Lin looked at her with concerned eyes.]
Are you going to be okay?
no subject
... I'm fine, I suppose. It should go away, hopefully?
no subject
Well, if you get confused or feel like you need help you can always count on me.
no subject
Thank you, it... might be necessary in this place if there's others like him here. Let's keep going?
