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! ))

local weed kid wants weed

Mary Jane, oh, Mary Jane
I miss you and death's such a drain
How can I shut off my brain?
It wrecks me, Mary Jane


[Is he just. Lying on one of the cafeteria tables? Yes. Yes, he is. Local bisexual cannot sit in a chair and has resorted to petulantly lying on tables.]

Mary Jane, oh, Mary Jane
You conquered me like Charlemagne
Pleasure intertwined with pain
I miss you, Mary Jane


[He just lies there for a moment before:]

Hey, Miss Nana's Hot Boss Lady? Do you have weed or are your guys acid people?

[why'd you guys let me in deadland, actually]
guardianofsplendor: (romance (sex presented pastorally))

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-07-02 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, baby. [Yeah, she's already sitting in two of the chairs he's chosen not to sit in. Why two? Because she needs somewhere to prop up her feet and she's also a chaotic queer who can't sit right.] Ask me 50 years ago and I'd have you smelling colors and seeing through time in ten minutes. The '70s were a time!

But as times and tastes have changed- [She sets a black lacquered box on the table and slides it toward his head.]

Simple joys have a simple voice
That says, "why not go ahead?"
yourattention: (you thought you knew some way)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-07-02 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Not that acid doesn't have a time and place, but I'm not really about that life.

[Connor twists so he's lying on his stomach, before propping himself up on an elbow and opening the box up. Then he pauses.]

Should we, like, call everyone in? It's not like we can do anything until Nana comes back, right?

[He assumes not, since she gave him weed and she seems responsible enough to not give him weed if they're supposed to be doing something.]
guardianofsplendor: (deedle-ee-dee)

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-07-02 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, fair. I made the mistake of letting a Pippin do it once. Poor thing fell right off the stage while I was trying to teach him to tap dance. [She chuckles and switches up her crossed legs.]

Your time is your own. Not like the clock runs linearly when you're dead anyway, unless it's a Saturday. [She snaps her fingers, a sound that somehow reverberates all through the school and the grounds to at least catch some attention.] Gather 'round, children, it's time for some optional recreation!
yourattention: (you surprised me with that comic book)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-07-02 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
What happens on Saturdays?

[God, he should. Not be on the table for this, huh? He rolls off the table, onto the opposite side of the table from LP, and sits before pulling the box toward himself and rifling through it. Oh! Edibles! He'll leave those for the less experienced people. He takes a joint instead and shuts the box, before looking up at LP.]

Got a light?
guardianofsplendor: (humor handled by a master)

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-07-02 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, they don't exist. Except when they do. Usually in Unknown Seas.

[She grins and snaps her fingers again. A small spark jumps from her fingertips and lights the tip of the joint. Oh, the temptation of that flirting song from that show she stole Mark from.]

Fire happens to be a specialty of mine.
yourattention: (thanks for every note you send)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-07-02 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Ma'am, you are admittedly hot and he's admittedly 18 but he is also in love with Peregrine Wells and also Miguel Sirnotappearinginthisshow.

He takes a drag of the joint, letting the smoke settle in his lungs. If Miguel were here, he'd know the exact amount to smoke. The right mix and strain for everyone. Connor doesn't and at this point? He's simply happy to not fucking be sober.]


Hey, you know that weird thing you and B do? Where you just know stuff? Are you guys born like that or is it something you learn how to do?
guardianofsplendor: (hearts to warm)

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-07-02 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[You're valid as hell, Connor. It's just the musical theatre of it all. She picks up one of the joints and takes a drag without lighting it. The tip lights up anyway and she blows a perfect smoke ring.]

Oh, you mean the Narration? [Connor can defiantly hear that capitalization.] Neither of us were "born" exactly. You know that old myth Athena, right? Sprang fully formed from Zeus's head, full of knowledge, blah blah blah. We're kind of like that. We're made to facilitate, explain and pass on stories.

But now that you mention it- [She takes another drag.] -I've never actually heard of someone "learning" how to be a Narrator without already having some kind of buried deeper link to their story.

Somewhere in the Groundhog suit in the world of the living, Nana sneezes. ]

[robot-baby arrives promptly enough, if only to see what's going on here. it may or may not have been working with Elizabeth in the computer lab on what may or may not be the equivalent of Photoshop.

But that aside.]


What are you talking about?
guardianofsplendor: (join us - sit where everybody can see)

[personal profile] guardianofsplendor 2021-07-02 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
SQUIP! I have a question for you: we know you're able to get drunk and speak Japanese.

But what happens when a SQUIP tries some other recreational activities?
voicerights: (all I would need is certainty.)

Ruuuuuuuuuude! You're ruining the fun, you junky TI-84. You probably don't even run Doom.
voicerights: (but then you feel the fire)

[personal profile] voicerights 2021-07-02 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Over its shoulder] She said 'optional'!

[The Balladeer can sense Some Shit going down even without that summons. He'd been in the garden, playing music like he promised he would, but at that, he walks into the treeline and transitions himself to the cafeteria scene seamlessly, walking in from the kitchen doors.

The Player has been...fine, since he got here. She used to be a lot friendlier towards him. In retrospect, he assumes that was all manipulation, so the fact that she hasn't been actively schmoozing with everyone has been...a little bit of a comfort. He still doesn't really like it, but it's...good. And now here we are, with her handing out...]


What'cha got there?

[Mumble comes at her call, out of curiosity if nothing else.]

What kind of optional recreation?

[ Rina and Varian don't show up even though they hear that

They're too busy having their own "optional recreation"
