(hum your own dirge, if you're the type.)

This is the end. 

No, no, that's not true. The end was a little while ago.

A wound, a sickness, an accident. This is after the end. A ship ride to the afterlife, though it's hard to tell where it could be going. The seas are dark, even when the skies are bright, and it's hard to see too far off the sides and through the portholes.

It could be a beginning, instead, for the positive thinkers, or those who (think they've) wasted their lives. There are many on this boat, after all, be they enjoying the odd-but-comforting air on the top, or trying to relax below-decks. Who knows what bonds might be formed on the way?

Anyone can find Frisk on the very edge of the ship, staring down into the maybe-abyss.

They're not pleased to be here...or not pleased that they can't figure out a way to get off the ship and get back home, like usual.

Chell - Portal

Chell can be found stalking through various parts of the ship, climbing the rigging, exploring the areas below decks, etc.

She has mixed feelings about this whole "dying" thing. On the one hand, turns out there's some sort of afterlife. On the other hand, this means she lost- and it feels sort of like she's just traded in one prison for another.

There's music playing on the deck of the ship.

Edel doesn't need to play her organ or sell her gems anymore, admittedly, but- it's a part of her, what little she is, and if she had a heart she's sure she'd be feeling proud right now.

Here's an interesting sight: a diminutive, probably malnourished child, in a ratty old yellow raincoat, hiding in the shadows of the stairs that lead to a raised deck. She's crouched in the corner and seems to have no intention of leaving. Dare to approach?
