EXPULSION

[whimsicalism]

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:

► What is this place?

This is the "deadland," or graveyard, for the round.

► Spooky! Is there a map?

Map info goes here.

► Do I need to make AC to stay 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 I do while I'm here?

What can you do in spooky creepy Japanese city?

► Are any NPCs available for interactions?

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.

► Is there any way I can contact the living?

Well...

Week Six

[whimsicalism]

There’s no new areas but a rolling purple fog has moved into the empty town. The area is large but it feels so, so claustrophobic as if the emptiness will soon collapse in on you. You feel it. Kakuriyo will soon no longer be your home… will it be because you will find freedom or will it be your final end? You don’t know and that, itself, is frightening.]

FOG

[holyironmade]

[What is time? Feels bad not knowing for sure that it's Sunday. Jeanne has never once actually associated death with eternal oblivion so this premonition feels quite sudden and terrifying.]

Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dreamt that my Bonnie was dead...

[Jeanne is not in bed. She is pacing through the fog with various contrivances: an extension cord, a futon cover that has been sliced to form a long ribbon, a trail of breadcrumbs. She seems skeptical that any numerical measurement or paper note will work, but at this point... The situation could change at any moment. The situation could end at any moment.

Approach?]

[What is time, indeed? Ao is outside. Maybe she's just trying to get lost in the fog.]

That's... kind of ominous, isn't it?

[She's talking about the words, not the fog but hey.]

[Jeanne tilts her head really far to one side.]

It is something that came to mind thinking about Kakuya's game pieces. I thought she would put us out to sea and eventually reel us back... but now it is difficult to say.
