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! ))

You're getting a tight hug, Varian. You look like you need it.]
no subject
Maybe it's proof that even in death, he can at least still feel. He's not sure if that's a blessing or a curse.]
I'm...I'm s-so sorry...
[Of course what he's apologizing for...is anyone's guess.]
no subject
[That he's apologizing...no, that doesn't matter right now. He's clearly in distress. Questions are not important right now.]
I'm here for you right now. There's no shame.
[She's also crying, now. Again. It happened again.]
no subject
Maybe that's why he feels the need to apologize. He isn't sure he even deserves to be in the same place as her.]
E-everyone, they...they're still there...
They're still there.
[And at this point, he can't help but fear they will be until all of them are dead.]
no subject
But.]
And they don't know we are here.
...
[She doesn't break the hug off entirely, simply shifting herself so Varian can look at her.]
We must...do something. We must tell the living we are here.
Monsieur Balladeer said there might be a way. Varian...I know this is sudden for you, after what you must have gone through. But...we have to try. We can' let the Wizard keep hurting the people we care for!
no subject
[Varian blinks rapidly a few times, trying to look at Sissi through the tears threatening to cloud them. She's right, it is pretty sudden, but...]
A...are you sure? How are we even supposed to...?
no subject
[She's going to take his hand at this. They should go look for tissues or something as they speak, at least.]
He also spoke of the dead being able to speak to the living. I don't know the details, not fully, but if it's possible...we should attempt it.
[A small smile.]
Those who are still alive ought to know we're still here, after all.
no subject
[Varian bites his lip, letting Sissi help him up from the floor so they can move elsewhere.]
Before I...left- [Was executed.] -Peregrine...she asked me what I would say, if she tried to reach out to me. We said it where the Wizard couldn't hear us.
If...if there's any way for us to talk to them, I have something I can say so she'll recognize it's me.
no subject
Mine is...just one word.
