"people never used to believe me," noah starts without preamble, "when i would tell them i'm dead. but here... everyone's dead. and this isn't what i was expecting from the afterlife. there’s a lot more fro-yo than i thought there’d be."
jeans and a sweatshirt are almost novel to the former ghost after only being able to wear the aglionby uniform for years. "i never thought i'd be so happy about clothes," noah says, "but i swear i've never been more comfortable."
@gplacestart : bambi eyes will light up upon seeing them , she twirling her hair as she gasps in EXCITEMENT ! ‘ oh , you are absolutely glowing . you almost outdid me - ’ and ty lee is of course talking about their aura , but won’t specify it . no , that would be far too easy . ‘ join me for some fro-yo ? i’d love to talk what you do to make your aura this gorgeous color . ’ or maybe she would make it that easy .
noah casts a quick look around, wanting to make sure she really is talking about him and not someone else. "froyo sounds amazing," he agrees with ease. he expects to tire of the frozen treat soon, given how many shops are around, but he hasn't yet. "what’s my aura look like?" there's just curiosity on his voice, no disbelief.
to say harry has had whatever a froyo is would be dead wrong. the idea of yogurt but ice cream sounds daunting as it is. considering he’s one of those people who’ll eat themselves into a food coma over things that later hurt his stomach. “this feels like i’m eating ice cream,” he admits around a spoonful, “but also feels like i’m cheating on ice cream.”
the truly good thing about the good place is the food. froyo would likely have been a disappointment to noah, but he hadn't been able to actually eat during any of the time he spent as a ghost. so it's with almost child-like glee that he's eating his own serving of froyo. "kinda feels like i'm cheating on it too," he admits after a monent. "there's gotta be an ice cream shop somewhere, right?"
“ – who do you think has the biggest secret here ? “ daphne has never had to try and make friends before. she had friends, 3 of them and a dog too – perhaps, just maybe, the damsel was just a bit rusty on the correct ice breakers. & what person is unhealthily interested in the private lives of others ? freckled cheeks lighting up in a smile, “ there’s probably a lot of incredible stories and mysteries in every person you see, like, they totally had to do something crazy to get into here – - right ? “
the ghost is used to being a secret-keeper, though none of the ones he knows ( aside from his own ) seem like they matter here. "most people probably have some kind of secret," noah replies. it's a true enough statement. even good people don't want others to know everything about themselves. "probably. we all did incredible, good things to get here, right?" if he sounds like he's trying to convince himself of the fact, it's probably best to ignore it. “but who has the biggest secret -- you’re the first person i’ve really met, so i don’t know.”
( yan an. eighteen/twenty-five. he/him. ) everything’s fine, NOAH CZERNY, you’re in the good place! do you remember your last days in THE RAVEN CYCLE? but don’t worry, your ( rotting bones, papier-mâché ravens, & broken glass mixed with glitter ) will fit perfectly with the rest of the good place, so long as you commit to the EVERYMAN despite your tendency to commit to ( loyalty ) that the architect of the good place said you were. it’ll just be like a fun acting exercise! just play along and everything will continue to be fun.
noah... sweet, sweet noah. if you haven’t read trc and don’t know who noah is... pls read trc. noah is the Best.
spoilers for the raven cycle (but not call down the hawk? i haven’t read it yet, don’t @ me)
stats can be found here.
generally a stereotypical teenage boy except for one glaring thing
the boy is dead
“but, bee,” you say, “every character here is technically dead.”
he’s dead in canon. boy’s a ghost (was a ghost?).
he was killed - murdered - by his then-best friend, barrington whelk, who needed a sacrifice to try and wake a ley line.
the murder weapon was noah’s own skateboard, just so we’re all on the same page here
the sacrifice didn’t actually work, though, as noah was dead and the ley line didn’t wake up
whelk left noah’s body where it was, decomposing out in the forest, for years
seven years, to be exact
and the only reason it really got found is because noah wound up making some new, better friends, who eventually found his body and were able to help give his family some closure
speaking of those friends, noah absolutely loves them without question.
i’m not gonna get to into because i will start crying (i have before), but just please know that he’d do anything for the gangsey
anyway!!! so he’s a relatively quiet person unless you get to know him, in which case he’ll be a bit more loud and like he was when he was alive
see also: “i was more, when i was alive” and that speech his sister gave in the raven king
he!! hates conflict and violence!!! and will avoid it at any cost!!
i just love noah so fuckign much pls love him too he’s such a great kid
so what does all this mean for the rp??
he wholly remembers how and why he died
the very last thing that he remembers is revisiting the point of his death, and sacrificing his “life” as a ghost to save the actual life of one of his friends
he didn’t think he would continue to exist at all, that the rest of his afterlife would be a great big nothingness, so winding up in the good place was a huge surprise to him
