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! ))

Do not!

Varian doesn't like...have the strength to hold back an adult-shaped SQUIP but he will step inbetween Connor and SQUIP while the Balladeer does the actual holding back.]
Knock if off! Both of you!! I promised I'd get a message to them somehow after I was executed, and this isn't the kind we need to be sending!!
no subject
[Sissi may not be strong, but she is fast, and she manages to throw herself between Connor and SQUIP. She faces the latter, eyes wide.]
Stop! Please, this won't get us anywhere!
no subject
[It's your fault, Connor.]

[Another shove to B- mostly to give itself space as it glowers at the rest of those gathered]
Since I am clearly nothing more than redundant parts, you can do this on your own! I have nothing to say to any of them!
[excuse it while it flounces]
no subject
We...need to take care of this whole ghost thing. I'll go talk to it later.

It's difficult to fully understand, but he at least knows it's not so simple as trying to apologize. Rina's just a very sweet and possibly too understanding girl...Varian is fortunate, in that regard. Even if it was accidental.
He grits his teeth, turning his attention back to the Leading Player.]
Ma'am...there's only one thing I want to try to get through to them. Just...two words. That's all.
How do we know if this is even working...?
no subject
No, it's all right. I'll go talk to him right now.
[A pause.]
Just--ah, if you don't mind, I just wanted to give them a word if it's possible-the word being éljen-but you don't need to if there is no way to focus on it.
If I can come back, I will do it along with everything else.

She looks down at him, for a moment. Then, she goes to sit down next to him.]
What he said was uncalled for. I'm sorry about that.
no subject
[crk goes a stick in its hands. It looks like it's broken quite a few of them, and picking them up to break in to even smaller pieces]
no subject
[It's clear she doesn't mean it as anything but a statement.]
While I may not understand how you as you might normally be, what I do know is that we're all in the same situation. Namely, we're all dead.
Tearing one another down won't change anything except to make bad blood. And-it's clear you're hurting.
no subject
Sometimes I think I've let my mind erode
Hard to accept that I'm just severed code
You say, 'we'll do all we can to save them'
[It looks up, now, meeting her gaze]
But that can't fix me, or make me 'human'-!
no subject
...
Useless. Alone. Apart from everyone else because others aren't...you.
[She closes her eyes.]
I made out that I was strong
and did what I did
as if my life were more than
delusion, falsehood, deception
but in the end it was
Nothing, nothing, nothing at all
You don't have to be all human to be alone.
no subject
They made me
Enslaved me
Made him a part of me
I should move on
But what's beyond?
What am I supposed to be?
no subject
in the straitjacket rather than being in a corset
They only tied up her body
but me, my soul was trussed up
[A deep breath.]
I'd like to erect walls around me and I want to liberate me
I long for loneliness and I don't want to be lonely
I'd like to be surrounded by light and stay in the dark
My heart is heavy but my soul is light
Where must I go?
[She hopes her point does get across. She may be human, and him, not, but...]
Beyond our duty, beyond our purpose...it all seems so impossible.
no subject
;). It lets out another breath, this one with a full-body shudder, and few a moments, it's quiet.Then;]
Is being human always this exhausting?
no subject
Not always. But...it can be.
[...He looks like he needs a hug there.]

[He seems a little abstracted as he says it, and quickly turns his attention back to the Player. It's probably fine, though.]
no subject
...All right. What do you need us both to do?
