Day 2: A Special Message Part II
WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: School Festival Day 2: A Special Message Part II
WHEN: 9/29/3013
WHERE: School Festival > wherever your character heads after that.
WARNINGS: Violence, shadows and all they entail, possibly angst, language as always-- do I really need to keep warning for language? We've got a bunch of sailors here every single one of these logs has like a million curse words in it even if they're playing checkers.
SUMMARY: NPCs freeze, turn into shadows after an eerie message from The Programmer.
[ DAY 2 ]
It's happening again. The School Festival had been going as planned, merriment all around, then everything stopped around noon. The NPCs froze in their place, most of the sound dwindled off because of how significant of a presence they hold in the school's population. There is no mirthful laughter any more, just silence and the questionings of those who were not frozen.
The wait is nowhere near as long as the previous freezings though. No, after about 10 minutes something different happens: There's a crackling in the air as the PA system flickers on. It sounds a little off though, like it may not be being accessed from its usual origin point. A male's voice comes from it, an uncertain tone plaguing his words. Like he's trying to be confident, but he has public speaking problems because who would want to talk to an entire school like this when they have no practice and have been an NPC for god knows how long?
"Hello? Is this thing-- is-- okay, yes, good, it's on. Um... Hm, I've frozen the NPCs. That was me. The last few times were a test. Everyone noticed this place has been a little off lately right? Glitches, everywhere, couldn't be helped but it's okay now. It should be. I managed to fix a few of them. Where'd the phones come from though..? That's not mine."
A cough, then the voice starts up again.
"I kept having to wake up, again, and again, and again, and I keep seeing different things and I don't get it. I don't. I don't want to disappear because I want to see her again, but you all have the chance. Some of you had the opportunity and you're still here. Why is it? That program said you were seeking continuance. He's been acting a little weird, I didn't ask him to do that, no. I'll fix him, he might be a little broken, but you all-- you all try so hard to stay but you know you'll go mad, don't you? After 50, after 100 years. Too long here and it gets to you, you're not yourself, and all you want never comes. It just hurts and it can't be fixed so I made this to fix it.
You all want to be immortal with me right? That's what the answers were, that you didn't want to die or disappear or move on, so I'm going to grant your wish. We're all going to stay here forever. I'm glad there are people who agree with me that it's better than never seeing those you lost again, than forgetting them. I'll never forget. Even if I'm an NPC, it just holds it in until I awake again, so we'll all be here together. I can do that, and I will. You're welcome."
The PA flickers off. The NPCs are still frozen and nothing moves for a full minute, then suddenly every one of the NPCs flickers, what looks like binary data sparks a few times, then the NPCs rapidly transform into shadows. They're not frozen anymore. Better run.

no subject
Why..? Don't you trust me?
no subject
I just want you to be really safe
[A pause, followed by another text.]
I think I'm worried
no subject
She swallows thickly. Of course Mary would be worried, just like how in turn Madoka is worried about Mary and all her other friends here. But since she's worried, she really can't ask anyone to help her, not if they'd be at risk of getting hurt. ]
I'm sorry, Mary-chan. I'm just being selfish, aren't I? （／_＼）
no subject
[Which is true, she's not familiar with this 'kind' of selfish behaviour. When Mary thinks of someone being selfish, she thinks of someone keeping things to themselves, not sharing and thinking about themselves.
Madoka wants no one to come for her, which doesn't really strike her as selfish. It's confusing if anything.]
Its odd that you dont want anyone to come for you
Like I do
Is that being selfish
no subject
[ Madoka Kaname: hypocrite extraordinaire. At least it's not necessarily in a bad way, but still, she's way too hard on herself compared to others.. ]
It's more just like [ she pauses for a moment, thinking ] a personal preference, maybe?
no subject
But
You dont want to be stuck in there right
Even if you say its fine you wouldnt want to be trapped in a closet
[Just. Trying to get down what Madoka is thinking here. Yeah. This is getting confusing.]
no subject
Of course not. I think what everyone wants the most is for those strange things to go away, right..?
no subject
Thats what I want
Then we could all get back to the festival
[And everyone would be safe. But also festival. That's important.]
How do we get rid of them Madoka
no subject
Did you hear that voice though before they appeared? Maybe that person knows..
no subject
I didnt like what they were saying
[Going on about staying here forever, going mad. Please.]
Maybe theyre still in the pa room
no subject
It's like the gallery all over again, huh, Mary. :)]I think so. But.. the problem is that it's probably impossible to get there by now with those things everywhere.. do you think he's not scared?
no subject
Nah, not enough crushed dreams, missing fathers and friends to burn her alive here tbh!]Thats true they were all over the place
But I dont think hes scared
He didnt sound scared
no subject
Hey, that first and last one can be arranged.]But the shadows look really scary, and Ichigo-san said something bad happens when they get close to you.. or maybe it doesn't work on him? Otherwise he would have to be scared for sure, I know I am!
no subject
NO NO THATS OKAY shes good for both of those for the rest of her not-lifetime!]The shadows are what make you an npc arent they
It has something to do with love too someone told me about it once
And it was a lot scarier when everyone was running around right
no subject
no subject
When you love someone that means the shadows appear
And then the shadows take part of your soul and make you an NPC
no subject
[ It's a strange idea. Sure, Madoka might not have experienced love-love yet, but she sure does love everyone on a platonic level.. so it's got to be that real kind of love, right? Is it really that dangerous? ]
That sounds so sad..
no subject
Its really sad and its not fair
[She might not properly grasp love, but to have shadows come after you just because you're in love? That's really not fair at all.]
You dont have to worry about lovings things though
I love sweets and shadows havent come for me yet
no subject
no subject
I thought there were lots and lots of kinds of love
Like there are lots of different kisses
[Two. Two different kinds of kisses that she's aware of. One of which is an indirect kiss which totally doesn't count, but anyway.]
I think I love my friends more than sweets
But I still love cakes and cookies and cream a lot too
So that means its different right
no subject
.. I hope, either way. I'd miss you if something happened to you, Mary-chan..
no subject
Id miss you and all of my friends here so I really really dont want anything to happen to me
Or to you or to anyone
