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

[onewayroad]

Congratulations, you've stated the obvious. It did that earlier too.

[masturbatestoyou]

I wonder what the deal with it is? I mean, clouds generally don't disappear that quickly.

[onewayroad]

...Just how new are you?

[masturbatestoyou]

I've been here... I guess about a month now?

[onewayroad]

No wonder you'd muse aloud on something that should be obvious.

You do know there's a program that controls reality here, right?

[at the very least, the guy should have a clue after the recent news from That NPC]

[masturbatestoyou]

Ah, yeah. The "Angel Player", right?

[onewayroad]

That'd be it.

Now think really hard, is any computer system perfect enough that it never runs into problems?

[masturbatestoyou]

I suppose not...

[onewayroad]

[flicks his gaze back toward where he had seen those dark clouds for a split second]

Usually the 'problems' surface as weird irregularities everyone calls 'glitches.' Those last for a few days. But sometimes it's a lot more brief or subtle.

[at this he lets out an annoyed sigh, grabbing more firmly at the plastic bag full of stuff in his hand. the movement makes light crinkling sounds]

[masturbatestoyou]

So the clouds are glitching...? Like the NPCs on Valentine's Day?

[onewayroad]

[visible wince here why did you have to bring THOSE up]

Ugh. Don't remind me about that.

[masturbatestoyou]

Yeah, it was pretty bad. I'm not sure what was worse, the NPCs or getting into an argument about Yuri's panties.

[onewayroad]

I can't imagine why you would get into an argument about her underwear, or with whom, and I don't want to know.

But yeah. Shit like randomly appearing clouds can't be caused by anything else.

[masturbatestoyou]

She started it.

So, you think there's anything to the clouds other than being clouds then?

[onewayroad]

Nothing worth getting your panties in a twist over.

[oddly enough that can technically count as replies to both parts of what Taichi said.]

[masturbatestoyou]

Right, the skies are clear for now at least.

[onewayroad]

If that was supposed to be funny, it wasn't.

[Shut up, Accelerator, you have next to no sense of humor in the first place.]

[masturbatestoyou]

It was more a general observation of our current status.

[onewayroad]

If you say so.

[just has no appreciation for wittiness.

with that, he starts heading toward the stream, which is still a slight distance up ahead.]

If it keeps up, that's when to start getting concerned.

[masturbatestoyou]

So if more clouds keep doing it, that's when we're in trouble?

[onewayroad]

Trouble is too strong of a word for just weird cloud shit. Trouble would be if it progresses into something else, or is the prelude to something worse.

[so is Taichi following along?]

[masturbatestoyou]

Right, some oddness in the sky is harmless. It's oddness on the ground we have to worry about.

[Taichi'll tag along a few paces behind Accelerator.]

[onewayroad]

Degree or scale, not where it is. It's rained food before.

[makes a beeline for the stream, then.]

[masturbatestoyou]

Rained food!? Seriously?

[onewayroad]

Seriously. Rice, ice cream, you name it.
