Afterlifetime

After encountering Charon and Death, Alexis is ferried to the Realms of Afterlife and discovers that Death wasn’t kidding: the place is on the brink of all-out war. As Hades, Valhalla, and the Egyptian Fields of Aaru bicker and skirmish, Heaven threatens to invade to keep the peace. Hard-pressed, Alexis must use every ounce of her statecraft to bring these Realms together to save their very existence. Alexis frantically mediates between the Realms, remembering Death’s fears that the Afterlife could collapse—a disaster that would free millions of souls. But as she deals with crisis after crisis, she finds out that Death wasn’t exactly transparent, but honestly, she should have known to read the fine print … for Death has decided that saving the Afterlife isn’t worth it. Better to bring on the apocalypse and let the Universe start over. As Alexis brings ancient deities to the negotiating table, she must get them to work out their differences and prove that the Afterlife deserves infinity - while hoping to find a workaround to Death’s scheming so that she can get back home. THE CHARACTERS ALEXIS - Alexis is a savvy and no-nonsense foreign service officer. She’s the youngest-ever U.N. diplomat and, having just solved peace in the Middle East, now finds her toughest opponent in Death. Ever the negotiator, she cuts a deal with Death to fast track her back to the land of the living. DEATH - Death has many faces, but for Alexis, he appears as her guilty pleasure: a Lifetime actor. A quick witted plotter, he “hires” Alexis to stop the apocalyptic infighting of the Realms of the Afterlife, but does Death really care for the fate of humanity? Or does he have plans of his own? CHARON - After having been made redundant by his replacement, Death, he’s just a crabby old curmudgeon who wants to retire. Instead, the unforeseen arrival of Alexis puts his “golden years” on hold as he’s tasked with helping her navigate the Realms of the Afterlife. THE TONE Afterlifetime can briefly be described as The Good Place meets Good Omens. In our re-imagined pseudo-modern Afterlives, Alexis will have to forge a path through the miscreants whose awe-inspiring legends have been corrupted absolutely. A heartfelt satirical dramedy about infighting, love, and death.
