what do I even sing in a month like March

[afterlifer]

WHO: EVERYONE
WHAT: Interactions
WHEN: March 5th – 9th
WHERE: Anywhere and everywhere in this afterlife
WARNINGS: Cussing
SUMMARY: INTERACTION LOG you know the drill.

5th: You're in for a treat today because in history class, you're in for a research project! Everyone will be assigned some historical figure then be sent down to the library for the period for reading and checking out books and working on your paper. Don't be brave and pull an Ooyama and eat chips down there though, you might get in trouble.

6th: If you're in the computer lab today, whether you’re chatting away to some friends on the chat, making a video post or typing up your research paper for class like you should, suddenly!!! Your computer turns off. Looks like an NPC accidentally tripped over a cable and turned off every single one. Oops, hope you saved whatever you were doing.

7th: It's time once more for gym class but today you aren't jumping, you'll be ducking and dodging more. It's time for a game of dodgeball! Whatever side you've been put on, get ready to run up and grab those balls and start throwing them. Just don't get hit by them, especially in the face because that might hurt. But hey, at least if you get hit you can wallow in your loss with whoever else got smacked out.

8th: It’s the last day of school until your one-day weekend starts, so instead of a test, how about a little group work? Today in health class, everyone will need to pair up and each pair will get a worksheet to fill out. Guess what you get to do? Name as many bones in the body as you can. Not exactly the greatest way to end your week but at least you can struggle through it with someone.

9th: Just like for the past while, everything still seems completely and utterly normal in the afterlife, huh? No rain, the NPCs are acting as they should, no weird, bug infested cafeteria food or sudden surge of animals spawning—but wait! As you’re walking around today you might spot something strange, though only for a split second. You blink, and whatever it was is gone. Maybe you caught what looked like an NPC glitch and freeze for a fraction of a second before continuing on like normal or what looked like a dark cloud forming over the school before disappearing and leaving a blue sky. How strange…

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Ai will be making many appearances throughout this interaction log. Remember that the search for the mystery program is still going on so feel free to use any of these days to have your character continue their search for it!

As always, remember there are several clubs now so practices and meetings can be set up whenever you want! And if you want to do something outside of what we've provided, feel free to do so.

Comments

[avartwice]

Hm?

[Wow, he really needs to pay more attention. He didn't even notice anyone approach him.

As he turns to look at Celica, the serious look on Ling's face is gone, replaced by his usual goofy grin.]

Oh, nobody important! ["What the hell is that supposed to mean."] Just spacing out, I guess!

[suckswithmaps]

[Just spacing out? Ah... Oh well.]

Well, if you're sure...

[A pause, before she picks back up and continues.]

Actually, I've been meaning to talk to you! Are you busy?

[avartwice]

Oh? No, I'm not busy at all. I have plenty of time.

[suckswithmaps]

[She may as well just cut to the chase then!]

In that case... Do you have a twin brother, Ling?

[avartwice]

Ah, nope, I actually don't! I have a ton of siblings, but no actual twins.

Of course, they're not here, so that wouldn't matter anyway. So this has to be about Greed.

[suckswithmaps]

Really... Well, in that case, who's Greed?

[If he's not a twin or sibling of any kind, then...??]

[avartwice]

Well, it's kind of a long story, but he's the guy I share a body with.

[Because, you know, that's normal.]

[suckswithmaps]

[Wait...]

You... share a body with him? How?

[avartwice]

It's a little complicated... But back when I was alive, someone put his soul in me. And I guess he just stuck with me when we died.

[suckswithmaps]

I see... Admittedly, it's a little hard for me to wrap my head around how that would work, but... [She'll just accept it all the same. There are loads of weird things around here, anyway.]

In that case, how does it feel to share a body with someone...? It must be strange.

[avartwice]

Oh, it's definitely strange! It's a little different here than when I was alive, but I guess... When he's in control, it's kind of like being in a really big void. But I'm still aware of what happens outside.

When I'm in control, it's kind of like there's always someone there. And I can hear him when he talks. [...] And he talks a lot.

[suckswithmaps]

Really... That's rather interesting, actually. I can't really imagine it well though...

But oh, really? Then... Is he talking to you right now? While we're talking?

[avartwice]

Yeah, it's not something easily explained. You only really get it once you've experienced it.

Well, not right now, but every now and then he'll say something. ["Yeah, sure, just talk about me like I ain't even here. Damn rude prince..."] ...Like just now, actually.

[suckswithmaps]

Oh! Did he say something? What did he say?

[The excitement in her voice isn't hidden at all. This is really neat to her, okay...]

[avartwice]

Oh, he's just insulting me. Nothing that interesting.

[suckswithmaps]

I see... Well, can he hear what I'm saying?

[avartwice]

Yep, every word!

[suckswithmaps]

Ah... In that case, hello, Greed! Please don't say mean things to Ling, okay?

[avartwice]

Yeah... no. I'll say whatever I want to him.

[Well, that's definitely not Ling's voice coming out of his body anymore.]

It's his own fault for being so annoying in the first place.

[suckswithmaps]

[Oh... Such a sudden change. It takes Celica a moment to respond because of it, but it was interesting to witness, at least. Just... boom, they switch? Neat.]

That's mean though... Besides, how is he being annoying?

[avartwice]

Just the way he's talking about me pisses me off.

[suckswithmaps]

It's not like he was saying anything bad about you though... At least, I don't think so.

[avartwice]

Maybe not in a way you can tell. And anyway, it's annoying having him talk about me like I'm not here.

[suckswithmaps]

Aren't you sort of doing the same?

[avartwice]

...

["...Well, she has you there."]

Well... I guess, maybe. [Damn him and his stupid 'no lying' rule.] I'm just... returning the favor, that's all.

[...Yes, he just essentially complained that Ling started it.]
