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

[hypervision]

Well last time we played tag, so...oh, how about hide-and-seek this time? We'll take turns hiding and trying to find each other!

[replayed]

Do you want to hide first?

[hypervision]

Yeah! I'll hide, and then Homura onee-chan has to try to find me! [He holds up a hand-puppet, waving it a little as he puts on a fake voice for the puppet.]

"But we gotta warn you, Reisuke-kun is really good at hiding!"

[replayed]

Do not worry. I am good at finding people.

[ And she'll be able to find Reisuke a lot easier now than she did previously. ]

[hypervision]

Great! I'll go run and hide now, and then after you count from twenty, you can come find me, okay? [He holds up the other hand-puppet now to wave it.] "Are you ready to start the game, Onee-chan?"

[replayed]

Of course. Start whenever you wish.

[hypervision]

Alright! Just turn around or cover your eyes, and then...

[Reisuke waits until she turns around, or at least covers her eyes before he shouts.] Okay, I'm gonna go hide now! Ready...set...go!

[Once he's sure that she isn't peeking, he takes off running to try to hide somewhere. Since they're currently outside, he'll have to look for a pretty convincing hiding spot. He tries to run away as far as possible, before settling on hiding behind a group of trees clustered together over here. Let's see how Homura does on the first round...]

[replayed]

[ And she'll count all the way to twenty before deciding that there's an easier way to search. Of course, it's not cheating if she uses her minions to search, right..? ]

I wonder how long it'll take them..

[hypervision]

[If you're talking about the Clara Dolls, then...yeah, it might be a little cheating to have them help you search, since they sort of look like people...very unnatural looking people, but still.

Either way, at least one or two of Homura's minions, whoever they might be, should honestly not have too much trouble finding him hiding behind these group of trees. However, he does get the strange feeling that he's not alone, so he might attempt to turn and look for the source of that feeling--hopefully your minions are good where they won't be seen by him first in their attempts to find his hiding spot?]

[replayed]

[ They aren't that great at hiding, but it's not as if they needed to. Once they notice Reisuke, they'll laugh, speaking in a language that's not understandable.

Even though they could speak Japanese, they just decide not to. But Homura will be following her minions once they do find him.

Regardless of whether or not they're found out. ]

[hypervision]

...Huh? What is that?

[Reisuke has forgotten about keeping himself hidden for a moment when he notices Homura's minions. He steps a little towards them, though he is being pretty cautious about sticking close to his hiding spot, just in case. They look like something you might find in a book, and he can't really understand what they're saying. He holds up a hand-puppet and waves at them a little, to see how they react.]

[replayed]

[ All they do is laugh with high pitched cackles, not saying a single word. Homura's almost there, though, so everything's all good.. ]

[hypervision]

[...Okay then. Normally that would be creepy, which it is, but it doesn't bother Reisuke. What does bother him is that their laughter might attract attention from other people, who may ruin his fun by not letting him play here anymore if they think those things are dangerous.

Speaking with them will probably be no good, but what if he tried to poke one of them? Or toss something at them?

So he leans down, picking up a small rock from the ground that he uses to try to toss at them. It's not like he intends to actually hurt them, more like to see if they scare easily and will dodge it...and hey if it does hit one of them, then oh well.]

[replayed]

[ Don't worry; the giggles of the Clara dolls soon disappear as Homura comes closer to finding Reisuke. She's pretty close, actually. Maybe a little too close. ]

[hypervision]

[...Is she standing right behind us or something? 'Cause that would be pretty easy for her to actually sneak up on him a little this time since he's wondering what's going on with those Clara dolls...]

[replayed]

[ And from right behind Reisuke, here comes an ominous voice: ]

I found you.

1/2

[hypervision]

[To his credit, Reisuke doesn't jump at the sudden voice, but he does quickly turn around. Instincts in this situation usually tell him to run, or to attack the source of the voice--]

[hypervision]

[But he manages to quickly relax upon seeing who it is, recalling that he had been in the middle of playing a game.]

--Oh! Homura onee-chan, you found me!

[replayed]

They found you first, though.

[hypervision]

"They"? [...wait. He points over to where the Clara dolls were standing.]

Are you talking about those things that showed up while I was hiding?

[replayed]

I'd like to apologize about them. They're sometimes a nuisance when they want to be.

[hypervision]

[So she did know what those things were, though he doesn't quite see why she needs to apologize yet. They're weird, sure, but he thinks they're kind of interesting too. Besides, he's met MuruMuru, so it wouldn't be the first time he met strange creatures.]

What are they?

[replayed]

They're my minions.

[hypervision]

You have minions? [That's a pretty arrogant thing to say for most people, but Reisuke is more curious than miffed by her referring to them as such.] Does that mean you're the boss of those guys?

[replayed]

They're a part of me, actually. The minions.

[ Short explanation time, if only because Homura doesn't do much small talk. ]

Though I suppose you can say that I'm their leader.
