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! ))

[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-]

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.

[wanderlusttitania]

Driving?

[wanderlusttitania]

[She...might be lighting up a bit.]

Oh, of course! There are automobiles here! You know, I must admit, I've never been in an automobile, but I've always wanted to drive a Präsident! Or a Benz-I've heard German automobiles are quite sturdy, much more so than French ones.

[voicerights]

[Fair enough]

They're extremely popular in my time period - often a mark of status, even among teenagers. Rina and Varian are somewhat young to be driving, by most cultures, but Rina seems to be putting this on the same level as a simulation game.

[...]

I am interested to see what happens.

[wanderlusttitania]

Oh, yes! Now I am, as well! I can already see that the technology is so different from the autos of my time-

[VROOM VROOM]

Amazing! It picks up speed so quickly!

[voicerights]

[starting to walk after it- actually they probably need to run, excuse it]

This is what is considered a 'clunker'! It should not be going that fast!

[worry? no. surprise? yes!]

[wanderlusttitania]

[She does follow, though she seems more excited than worried.]

That is considered a clunker? My goodness, my horses would get jealous if they saw it! Our automobiles don't go nearly so quickly...!

[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. ]






[ *~*~SHINY RACERS INTENSIFIES~*~* ]

[alchemistake]

[HOly FUCKING SHIT-

The starting and stopping was to be expected. He was starting to get used to it. Maybe about to suggest they stop. But before he can even think about that, Rina spots the corn, and...]


R-R-

RINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[THEY'RE OFF TO THE FUCKIN RACE BOYS

Anybody watching might want to start, uh

Running]

[tellthestory]

Hey, guys, what's going on?

[This is about when the Balladeer swans outside! He's got coffee!]

[wanderlusttitania]

Oh, it's wonderful! They are driving a fast automobile!

[voicerights]

MOVE!

[samefacesyndrome]

[ In the distance, as Rina swerves and starts to just absolutely fuck up the corn. Thankfully(?) she does not leave the field though. ]

Whoooooooo!!

[ The most deadpan (yet somehow still excited??? How. How.) whoo ever. ]
