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! ))

[Mumble's aghast.]
I-it sounds like it's you who's the one who needs to work on something. I'm a penguin, I'm not going to fit in, a-and I'm not going to change who I am - or what I do - to do that.
no subject
at this point
is not a good thing]
What, exactly, do I have to work on? I have fulfilled my programming in every way, I can hardly be blamed for-! [for humans changing their minds. for human values shifting. for- for-
it grips its hands in to fists, though they remain at its sides. it doesn't seem angry at Mumble, but he seems to have found a sore spot]
no subject
Be blamed for what, exactly?

["That’s not what I wanted!"
"It's the ONLY way to get what you wanted!"
We're sorry, the SQUIP you were arguing with is currently not responding. Abort, retry, fail?]
no subject
[Uhhhhh]
SQUIP?
[He gives it a nudge. Not too forceful, but, you know, noticable.]
no subject
Fine. Do what you want. You aren't my function.
[...nevermind it doesn't. Really have a function anymore.]
no subject
He doesn't leave.]
...Why does this bother you so much?
no subject
[how about if the SQUIP leaves then, huh]
no subject
W-wait - come back! What about our investigation?
no subject
...what places have you explored?
no subject
no subject
I am.
[It sounds a little hollow this time, though, compared to before. But it'll start for the west hallway]
no subject
[Mumble follows suit, like a little baby duckling that's imprinted on it. It's a quiet and awkward walk until they reach the hallway.]
Wait - I thought this was blocked off before?
no subject
no subject
Then, let's go!
[Mumble stops trailing and instead takes the lead, tippity tapping down the hallways with a rush of excitement.]
Which one do you think we should check first?
INVESTIGATION?
There is a library here. Perhaps it has different books.
no subject
Alright! Let's get going!
[He's going to just...waddle around until he finds the library.]
We don't have books, penguins - I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about.
