EXPULSION
You wake up in a bathroom. In a bathtub, to be specific. The tiny, cramped space is clammy and cold, the mirror on the wall opposite you dulled by a fine layer of dust and mist. You're conscious of your final moments immediately upon waking: Whether murdered or executed, you failed to survive Ira Academy and have died. You may even be stuck in that bathtub with someone else as you wake up..
'
As you gather your wits about you and step from the clammy bathroom, an equally cramped apartment waits outside. It's a single room that feels rather lived in, with the bedroom area portioned away from the kitchen.
Leave the apartment and you likely blink as the rough scenery of a Japanese neighborhood greets you. Even more strangely, everything seems to have a purple hue. Even the air feels like it's drenched in purple. For now, just the apartment, parking lot, an underpass and a convenience store are available to explore.
Deadland FAQ:
This is the "deadland," or graveyard, for the round.
Map info goes here.
Nope, AC isn't required from characters who have died! Towards the end of the game, depending on the choices characters make and the potential ends, we may ask you to check in before the final week to see if you'd like to participate in some endgame plotting. Otherwise, feel free to take being dead at your own pace!
What can you do in spooky creepy Japanese city?
A staff member runs the deadland here, and they may be responsible for some of your strange events and surroundings.
Poke around enough and you may find other denizens, trapped in this realm on the other side of the bathroom mirror.
Well...

[Jeanne's face says NO THANK YOU. What does her mouth say. Her mouth says...]
I think my energy is better spent focused on finding any means of contact at all...
no subject
[She's doing Reika a concern! Obviously it's reasonable for people to be in a Mood after literally dying, but...]

You must know that Valmont was killed while we were starved. That was when I realized our choices were to sacrifice ourselves for the motives or endure their whips and scorns for the rest of our lives. Not a single person considered it a serious possibility that we could escape or otherwise change our situation. No one would so much as fast until Friday but me. So I would commit the gravest crime, and if my powers were restored or I could commune with Lamashtu, if I had access to your souls and bodies, if I could go home and return to my duties as the leader of the X-Laws... with that stupid secret he only told us to threaten and torment us concealed... the world could finally be at peace.
[BUT.]
Apparently this was not even just immoral, but futile, since Father never held any power in the first place.

Reika hugs Jeanne without saying anything.]
no subject
Why? Why would a good person, who sacrificed herself, hug a bad person who just wanted to keep being special?]
no subject
Still holding onto Jeanne, she pats her on the back of her head.]
no subject
[Jeanne apparently at least understands the basic hug concept, because now she will also hug Reika. This also angles her head much better for patting. It's so nice. Next level.
She is comforted...!]
