the mark of those who cannot be saved

[stagemanagers]

[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! ))

Wait- huh?

[It took a moment for what she'd just said to process. There are...a lot? Of questions? He could be asking, but instead-]

Do you know how to drive?

[samefacesyndrome]

No. They don’t let you get a license until you’re 20 back home.

[ But then she shrugs. ]

But I’m dead and Karin-senpai bought me Grand Theft Auto once. It’s fine.

[ And with that she gets in. Once her door is closed she pauses before reaching over and unlocking/pushing the passenger side open, intending for him to come with.

Get in loser. ]

[alchemistake]

[...

He's sorry, Grand Theft what

Varian stares- no, boggles at Rina for a good handful of seconds as she sits there with the passenger side open, waiting for him to get in.

...

He gets in, before he can think better of it. He really doesn't want to say no to her right now...]

W-well yeah, but- I don't know about this...

[samefacesyndrome]

[samefacesyndrome]

[ She seems pleased once he gets in and moves to do her seatbelt. ]

It’ll fine.

[ And then it’s right to fiddling with the keys. ]

I’ve also played Daytona.

[ He’s not going to know what that means, Rina!! ]

[voicerights]

I assume you're ignoring what you've learned from Mario Kart.

[WHEN DID IT GET HERE AND HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN STANDING THERE WATCHING OFF TO THE SIDE

#justsquipthings]

[samefacesyndrome]

[ Oh hi SQUIP good thing she rolled the windows down ]

Oh yeah! And Mario Kart!!

[alchemistake]

What does any of that mean?!

[Varian yelps from the other side of the car, quickly scrambling to buckle up too because while he may not be car savvy he understands that making sure he's strapped in properly is uhhh important??]

[samefacesyndrome]

It means don’t worry about it.

[ She’s got the key in and turned in the ignition. Right away it purrs into life. ]

You can fix it again if I break it anyway.

[ GIRL ]

[voicerights]

[IT MEANS THAT THIS IS GOING TO ANSWER A QUESTION FOR THE SQUIP THAT IT ISN'T GOING TO ASK ALOUD]

I would recommend pushing the limits of the vehicle. There is hardly a reason to hold back, at this point.

I will supervise from a safe distance.

[If only it had popcorn]

[samefacesyndrome]

[ Oh don’t worry she’s gonna. ]

Okay! Thank you, SQUIP-san!

[alchemistake]

[It worries him how she said that like "you WILL fix it" as opposed to "you can fix it if you want"

Varian leans back in the seat, suddenly not at all confident in this car's ability to keep him safe, let alone...NOT fall apart the moment they start driving.]

Just because we can't die doesn't mean we can't still get hurt!!

[PROBABLY? RIGHT??? HE DOESN'T ACTUALLY KNOW HE DIDN'T ASK BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO ADD CAR WRECK TO HIS LAUNDRY LIST OF TRAUMA-]

1/2

[samefacesyndrome]

Just consider it a bit of revenge—

[ And as she says that she presses on the gas ]

[samefacesyndrome]

[ And pushed too much at once that it spooks her and she immediately slams on the brakes. ]

Oh!

[ Oops. ]

[alchemistake]

[Oops.

Good thing Varian got his seatbelt on in time. It catches him before he goes hurtling forwards through the windshield, instead just barely saving him from cracking his nose across the dash. He actually does have to put his hands out a little to keep from being shoved up into it though.]

....oh no.

[voicerights]

[Holds up portable whiteboard where did it get that

3.5]

[wanderlusttitania]

!

Wh-what are you all doing!?

[Oh boy here comes Empress Party-Pooper to ruin ur fun!












BD]

[voicerights]

They are driving.

I am supervising.

[:)?]

[samefacesyndrome]

[ She ignores Varian and goes to start again

Driving! What kind of road could it be-- ]

[samefacesyndrome]

[ And then another jerky stop, music and all. ]

[samefacesyndrome]

[ Again...

Driving! What kind of dream could it be-- ]

[samefacesyndrome]

[ Stop. ]

[samefacesyndrome]

[ ...............

Gently starting again this time... starting slow and gaining momentum until she feels more confident. Maybe this was a bad idea.

But then she sees that corn again. The corn she died in. ]

[samefacesyndrome]

[ .................... ]

DONE

[samefacesyndrome]

[ And she fucking guns it straight in there, no stopping this time. ]
