the mark of those who cannot be saved

[You remember dying. Maybe the memory is clear and bright and your body still aches from the cause. Maybe it was fast enough that you didn't feel it and don't remember what you went through. But no matter how you went out, that's no excuse for truancy! Which is to say: you are still in the school.

For those executed, you will wake up in your beds. The dormitories look exactly as they did when you first arrived, without any of the changes or personal effects you and your dormmates might have made. The only real difference is that the little cot in Ambassador isn't there.

For those who were victims, you will wake where your body was discovered. All of your injuries are gone, and you feel fine. It's almost like you're still alive - but you remember what happened to you. It couldn't have just been a dream, could it?

The school looks much as you remember it, save perhaps for a few key differences. For one, there's no groundhog murals anywhere. Where things were green on the other side, like banners or paint, you'll find that here they're blood red.

The doors, for the moment, are still locked. Looks like even death couldn't free you.]


Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4
| Week 5

(( ooc: Welcome to deadland, everyone! It mostly resembles the school here, and new floors will be revealed after new people die. For example, the second area will unlock after the week 3 dead arrive, and so on. Also, all dead characters will wake up at their actual canonpoint, with all lost memories restored. Have fun being dead! ))

Maybe another time.

[Although now he's just sort of...standing in the water. It's not quite deep enough here that he needs to tread water.]

Well, this is... [A thing that's happening?]
voicerights: (you don't know what will happen)

[personal profile] voicerights 2021-06-30 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[How is this working as a duet so well? It Just Is, Don't Worry About It ;). It lets out another breath, this one with a full-body shudder, and few a moments, it's quiet.




Then;]


Is being human always this exhausting?
wanderlusttitania: (that's not possible)

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-06-30 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[A small, sad smile.]

Not always. But...it can be.

[...He looks like he needs a hug there.]
voicerights: (do you feel the commotion?)

[personal profile] voicerights 2021-06-30 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Once again, '?'

But it doesn't push her away. In fact, after a moment, she may or may not feel a subtle lean in to said hug.]

[After a little while, Sissi comes back with SQUIP following behind her. She looks a little tired, but otherwise, she's looking around, and ready to do what needs to be done.]

...All right. What do you need us both to do?
voicerights: (it starts with almost nothing)

[personal profile] voicerights 2021-06-30 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Not even looking at Connor, or anyone else for the record. It also seems...tired. Which is quite new, for anyone having paid attention to how generally it holds itself.]

[LP has been strangely silent since the actual summoning had started. She'd been active for sure, pacing and gesturing and glaring at the Balladeer a few times. It's very suddenly that she jerks back, frustration creeping into her expression.]

Dammit! That wizarding rat bastard. Alright, change of plans- everyone get to the gym. We're moving to plan B.

The gymnasium? What's happening?
samefacesyndrome: (25)

[personal profile] samefacesyndrome 2021-06-30 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Finally stops focusing: ]

Plan B?

[ But ok gym time it is, she’s already got Varian’s hand. ]

[The Balladeer's been doing essentially the same thing - a lot of standing with his hands in his pockets and staring at the sky, looking sad with occasional pauses to glare at the Leading Player. But he snaps back to the here and now at the same time, turning to make sure everyone's here.]

What's Plan B?

[All of that had been...overwhelming, even if it didn't seem like much was really happening. Nothing was being said verbally, but he could still feel their intent reaching out to the living. ...and he could feel their responses.

His grip on Rina's hand is tight, and he can feel tears burning the corners of his eyes. He doesn't let them fall this time though, instead turning his attention back to LP when she suddenly jerks back.

Wizarding? Fuck.

TO THE GYM THEN...]


Did the Wizard do something...?
guardianofsplendor: (kings and things)

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-06-30 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
The hands-on approach. You felt it too? The storm, the cut-off.
voicerights: (where do you think this will lead?)

[personal profile] voicerights 2021-06-30 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
What is he doing?

[but. doing a quick headcount and making sure everyone's here - yes, you too, Connor - before heading for said gym]
guardianofsplendor: (Default)

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-06-30 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
That damn Wizard happened! [She's already powerwalking toward the gym.] He's learned from the last time apparently, so we've got to get sneaky.
yourattention: (there were moments)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-06-30 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
...... Am I gonna get to tick "possess someone" off my kicked the bucket list?

[Was he sulking up until this point? Yes.]
tellthestory: (♪ en mesure ♫)

[personal profile] tellthestory 2021-06-30 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeeeah, he's not gonna let us do that again.

[He glances off into the sky, frowning.]

...he still doesn't feel familiar at all. Do you...?
guardianofsplendor: (we've got parts to perform)

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-06-30 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
He's cutting us off. Throwin' his little weather temper tantrum on the other side to quiet us down. [Let's go, kids!!]
wanderlusttitania: (so it's politics)

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-06-30 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
...I see.

[She's just going to walk as alongside the LP as she can.]

I shall have to ask more about this last time later, but-what do you intend to do?
guardianofsplendor: (hearts to warm)

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-06-30 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe if you're lucky, baby. Do you have a spot for helping rip a hole in time and space on that list?
samefacesyndrome: (19)

[personal profile] samefacesyndrome 2021-06-30 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Rude.

[ But yeah let’s go go go ]

What’s Plan B then…?
alchemistake: (Tungsten)

[personal profile] alchemistake 2021-06-30 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Varian scoffs, picking up the pace as they make their way to the gym.]

He might be able to control the weather, but let's see him stop us once we're inside.

[Varian heard about those marks, the messages- he saw a few on the tree in the garden, even if they were grown over. He knows other ways of communication are possible.]
yourattention: (all i've thought about is how hard)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-06-30 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
I have a literal criminal record. [Connor, you didn't even sell the weed.] Of course I fucking am.
guardianofsplendor: (illusion - fantasy to study)

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-06-30 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Not a clue. I met him once, he said I ruined his life and then he ran off to who knows where.

Except I do know where now because it was my Opera House.
guardianofsplendor: (just for you)

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-06-30 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
See? This is why you're too good for your own show. Let's go.
guardianofsplendor: (we've got parts to perform)

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-06-30 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Throwin' a tantrum is what. Grab all that math you've been pulling together, it's goin' to come in handy.
