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! ))

[At this, she quietly grabs Salieri's hands.]

You made a grave mistake, maestro, you-

[Damned yourself? In a way, maybe. But.]

The Wizard has already shown he doesn't care for any of us! He is willing to lie to us about the truth of our situation-what reason has he given since, that you would trust his promises!?

I--[Salieri resists the urge to jerk away at that, brow going furrowed] --I, there was--there was no time, and he was going to kill them all and I couldn't--I had to think of a way out, somehow, for them--I couldn't sit there and let him kill them either way!

cw: reference to suicide

[wanderlusttitania]

But killing yourself, monsieur...even indirectly...if you are not there, it is one less person to protect everyone! One less person to find a way out! And if your plan failed-!

[violentenvies]

What else was I supposed to do? It was the only option with even a minuscule chance of saving them--
