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! ))

Oh! Uh, that's good, then - I mean - it's not - I'm sorry you died twice. Or more.

[...]

Is that...normal for you?

I wouldn't call it normal. Just...a thing that happened.

Right. Got it.

[Nod nod. Despite the turn in conversation, Mumble's pretty buzzed. He's really on that high of being fluffy again.]

...How did you do that, anyway? Turning me back into a penguin.

Oh, just changed the narrative a little. That was mostly a conceit for the other side anyway - something the Wizard put in, I guess.

That's not something regular humans can do, is it?

[Is it????]
tellthestory: (♪ canon ♫)

[personal profile] tellthestory 2021-07-02 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
No, not really. Pretty sure I still do qualify as human, though!

[yay...?]

[personal profile] prophetpriestandking 2021-07-04 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
...Where do you draw the line?

[Is this too deep for a 'just woke up from being dead' convo?? He's not really bothered about it.]
tellthestory: (♪ bass ♫)

[personal profile] tellthestory 2021-07-04 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I mean, I'm not...anything special, really, in my show.

[He's not like, freaking Zeus or anything.]
prophetpriestandking: (THE MIRROR STARES YOU IN THE FACE)

[personal profile] prophetpriestandking 2021-07-06 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know...that seemed pretty special to me.

[But hey, what does he know about humans? Despite it all, he feels like the answer is 'not much'.]

What was your show?
tellthestory: (♪ placito ♫)

[personal profile] tellthestory 2021-07-07 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
It was called Assassins. It's about humans who killed, or tried to kill, the guy who runs our country.

[he can't believe he has to explain this to a penguin]
prophetpriestandking: (need more than they)

[personal profile] prophetpriestandking 2021-07-07 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds...intense.

[He says it with interest.]

So you weren't one of them? I-in your show, I mean.

[But if you want to confess to any irl assassinations, B, by all means go ahead.]

No, no. I'm not like them. I just - I'm the storyteller, that's all.
