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! ))

pool
[The Balladeer circles the pool with a wary air. He's never really been swimming? But hey, Mumble looks happy!]
Having fun?
no subject
[Mumble idly floats, head peeking out just above the surface to talk.]
Aren't you gonna come in too?
no subject
[Which isn't a "no", but he's not quite sure.]
no subject
[That's....sad?]
Then what're you waiting for? There's no better time!
no subject
[..........]
I'm gonna...go put on some different clothes, though... [Does Mumble know about bathing suits]
no subject
Do whatever you gotta do.
no subject
[Off he goes! It takes a little longer than it ought to have done, while he debates over which sort of suit he likes better and what time period he's even technically from anyway, but eventually he just decides to dismiss that entire thing and comes back in some swim trunks.]
Okay. Here we go. [He claps his hands together. Should he jump in, or...no, there's a ladder, he's just gonna use that.]
no subject
You're not jumping in?
[Less judgement, more...concern? Confusion? Where's the fun in gently lowering yourself?]
no subject
[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?]
no subject
...Uh - do you know how to swim?
no subject
[He seems more awkward than concerned, really - he can stand here, and also he's dead already, so chances are he's not gonna drown. But still.]
Most humans do, I'd think, but it really never came up for me.
no subject
no subject
[Given that their bodies are shaped pretty differently now and everything...]
no subject
Close enough. [He does the penguin equivalent of a shrug.] You've got flippers - [Gestures to the Balladeer's arms.] - and feet, so how different can it be?
no subject
[what's he gonna do, drown?]
no subject
[Mumble launches himself back in, and swims a brief circle around the Balladeer.]
See? [He asks, breaking the water to speak to him again.] Now you try.
no subject
[Well, this is a weird form for a human to use, but the Balladeer does recognize that about two seconds after he ducks under the water and starts trying to paddle around like that. He adjusts his movement a little, and swims his own larger circle before coming up for air.]
How was that?
no subject
[Honestly, for a human trying to use penguin form, couldn't have gone better.]
You're practically a natural! [If only he had hands, he could clap right now.] How did it feel?
no subject
[From his tone, he understands that this is a pretty stupid statement to make! He just doesn't know how else to describe it.]
