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! ))

That seems like a terrible idea!

[Seriously, demon, Connor.]

Nah, he's harmless as long as you don't back out of a deal. I'll marry him if it comes down to that.

[He shrugs. Summoning Beetlejuice can't be any worse than dying.]

[FUIREWFNVUIGHWEI]

But-

...

........

...At least get to know him before you do that.

Nah. It's way funnier and more likely to piss off my parents if they hear I got married to someone in a shotgun marriage and he's a creepy demon.

[Sorry, he's just a Gen Z kid who simply does not think of consequences.]

Oh...

[Do you mind if she sits next to you, Connor?]

Speaking from experience...that really is a terrible idea. Marrying someone you don't truly know, I mean, regardless of who it is.
yourattention: (all those demons that i couldn't let up)

Dude, it's just marriage. It's not like I'm gonna sleep with a demon and have demon babies. Sam Winchester is not that hot. Dean isn't either, but if I have to pick one at least Dean's got a cool car.

[Marriage is a sham institution, Sissi! Get with the times.]
wanderlusttitania: (it's customary)

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-06-28 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[At this, Sissi sadly smiles.]

Maybe not. But even so, any kind of marriage doesn't always work out the way we think it does. If it's a marriage of convenience, or a marriage of love, or an arranged marriage...there is always a price to be paid for it.

[She looks down.]

Sometimes...those prices don't present themselves until after you've married.

Okaaaaaaaay, I feel like this is one of those conversations where you're gonna say something really boomer-y and gross about the institution of marriage because you're from, like, Victorian England?

[History? Not Connor's best subject, to be frank.]

And I'm just gonna preface that with the fact that I, personally, think the institution of marriage is a scam, I can get a fucking divorce if it turns out I hate him, and I would only ever marry someone for tax benefits.
wanderlusttitania: (that's not possible)

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-06-28 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[A chuckle. Divorce, really.]

Austria-Hungary. I have only met Madame Victoria a few times.

[She seems a bit...discomforted at the mention of her.]

[Yeah, you can just get a divorce now! You don't have to stay together in a toxic relationship! Wow!]

Is that some weird catty girl thing, referring to the queen as "Madame"? 'cause if it is, I'm not into that gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss shit.

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-06-28 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Blink?]

Wh-no, she is a royal cousin of mine through the Wettin. Several generations removed, yes, but...it is custom. It allows me to call her Madame, in the manner of the old French kingdom.

[Also, divorce.






yeah that would never happen whoops]

[....... Honestly? Still sounds like a weird, catty girl thing but ok.]

Yeah, that sounds like political bullshit I'm not sticking my nose into. What do you guys, like, do around here? I can only spend so many hours a day contemplating the crushing curse of my existence.

Right now, I'm trying to find a way to release our souls from here. The Wizard shouldn't be holding us hostage like this.
