afterlogs | SCHOOL FESTIVAL

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: School Festival / Arriving in the Afterlife!
WHEN: 9/30/2012. Morning through evening.
WHERE: All around! Mostly at the school, since it is a school festival!
WARNINGS: Potential violence, but since everyone's already dead it's not like it matters, BUT FOR THE MOST PART HUNKY DORY PG! So PG+V? That works.
SUMMARY: A school festival! Details here!

No matter where it is you woke up, if it's near buildings the sounds of merriment are all around. The shouts of people rooting for the winner of a game, students trying to pull in attention for their booths, adults laughing as they trip over themselves during a sport or someone screaming at the haunted house...

It's then that you realize you're at some kind of festival, everyone's invited, and no one seems to be bothering with money.

Then the realization that you're not even in your clothes. What the hell is this outfit? A school uniform? A janitor? A store clerk? Waitress?

No, no, the bigger question is deinitely "What the hell is going on and where am I?" With nothing but forest and mountains visible in the distance, it's kind of--

POP POP!

..Are those fireworks?

If your character isn't at one of the events and are elsewhere in the town/forest/school/dorms/exploring the buildings/wherever, feel free to just comment with their own thread at the bottom.

[Aaaand after a brief conversation with Kyousuke... Now Riki has been set on a mission to recruit members for their baseball team! Which is why if you happen to pass by him, he's going to try stopping you.]

Hey, uh... Excuse me!

Not interested.

[ She doesn't know what it is, but she doesn't want to talk to this guy, period! ]

Didn't your mother tell you not to talk to strangers?

[...W-what...]

W-well, yeah... [His mother is also dead but --] We're in a school though, so...

Well, I didn't enroll in this school.

But I'll let you run your mouth just this once. What do you want? [ pitch it to her, riki ]

[...Oh. Wait wait waaait. What was that first part...]

I was wondering if you were interested in playing baseball, but... what do you mean by not having enrolled in this school?

[ Baseball? It's something she can't help with, then. ] It means what it means. I was taken here against my own will.

[Here's hoping Riki doesn't sound crazy for suggesting this.] Like... you just suddenly appeared here without knowing what's going on?

[ Izumo takes a step back in surprise ] You're spot on! Wait, don't tell me... is that what happened to you, too?

[A brief nod.] Yeah. It happened to both me and my friend Kyousuke. We just suddenly found ourselves here. I'm not even sure where we are right now. [Aside from the fact that it's clearly a school.]

Weird. Is this a mass kidnapping, then? [ Her eyebrows furrow for a moment. ] Ah, don't mind me. I'm just trying to sort things out.

You're strangely well-adjusted for someone who just got here.

If it is, then this is probably a really weird way to go about a kidnapping. [Dumping them into a school for a festival? Pretty unorthodox, Mr. Kidnapper...!]

But uhm... I wouldn't really say that I'm adjusted, haha... If anything, Kyousuke's the one who is.

Kyousuke... huh. I don't know if it's a good thing that you have a friend with you here... Well, at least you're not alone.

Yeah. I'm kind of thankful for that, though I feel a little bad that he ended up being caught up in whatever this is.

[a beat] Do you have any friends you know here?

[ baseball isn't mukuro's type of game to begin with, much less baseball in an unidentified location with strangers. he can't tell if this is a dream, or why there is a creeping feeling in the back of his mind that says there's something more pressing that he should be doing.

which is why it takes a moment for him to respond-- ]

What is it?

[Let's see, how to go about this... When Riki had to form a baseball team at home, he at least knew the people he was recruiting. Now though? Not so much.]

Are you busy?

I might have a moment to spare.

[ maybe it's important?? ]

[Not totally important, but...]

Are you interested in playing baseball? I'm trying to find people to join the team my friend and I are making.

Edited 2012-10-03 15:54 (UTC)

I've never played. Is it hard?

Not really. I'm not that good at sports at all, but I think I picked it up fairly quickly.

Do you know how to play though? [Like basic rules and such... or well. Even knowing about batting, running bases, and catching the ball will do...]

Perhaps you can help me out with something before I agree.

What do you need help with?

I took a wrong turn and ended up at this school. But the most troubling thing is that I can't see to leave.

Oh. Did you just get here too then...? [It seems like a handful of people have. Riki's not sure if him not being alone in this situation is a good or bad thing...]

[ bingo. ]

"Too"? Aren't you a little carefree for someone who's just arrived? [ already forming baseball teams and all that. ]

[He sighs.] Not really. It's my friend Kyousuke who's the calm one, and he sent me out to gather up a team, so..

[And if Kyousuke insists despite the circumstances, then maybe it's okay...? That's what Riki hopes for, anyway.]
