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! ))

[Notably, he didn't even consider Peregrine even though she was basically exactly as upset as Eurydice. It's fine. He's fine.]
... I remember talking to someone, though. I just really remember who.
no subject
[It feels like such a futile thing to say, but - suddenly, something comes to him.]
Oh! I-is there anything you do remember? Like, suddenly? W-when I woke up here, I felt like I just remembered the rest of my life. I don't know if I forgot or if I just...lost it, I guess.
no subject
[He pauses, a little awkwardly, because he's about to casually say "I remembered that I died." Maybe he'd actually just say that to Peregrine or B, Janis even. To Mumble though? No. No, absolutely not.]
—the missing two year gap in my memories. We... after you died, we got these weird dreams of our memories, but only like. A few of them? So I think we were brainwashed.
no subject
[Two years...that's an awful long time to be missing. Mumble's unsure of how much time he'd lost, but it couldn't have been anything like that. That's almost a lifetime.]
Why? When I died. Why then? You think The Wizard is responsible, too?
no subject
[Connor bites his lip, slightly nervously. He can't say for certain, really, but he thinks about the things that B has said. The way he talks about this being a show. It all seems to line up, really.]
... I think it's important. I think it's a clue about this whole thing.
no subject
[Mumble thinks on it.]
I guess it makes things more...dramatic. [He, too, recalls what the Balladeer had said to him. A lot of words that didn't make sense but were concerning enough.] For whoever's watching.
no subject
[He doesn't know, but that's the immediate possibility that occurred to him.]
no subject
So, do you think that instead of dying, we were actually released? I-if he can't control us now, then maybe we can save the others!
no subject
[That's a normal part of this sort of thing, right? Ghost hauntings are, like, perfectly normal.]
no subject
[As a universal constant, ghosts are also a cultural phenomena among penguins, turns out. How convenient.
A thought begins to dawn on him.]
This place - it looks exactly the same, right? That could have something to do with it. Some kinda clue to getting to the other side.
