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.

[hypervision]

[He hums a little at that, before he suddenly focuses his attention on her.]

So, who are you, Onee-chan?

[afterlifer]

My name is Ai.

[hypervision]

[Ai, huh...he can't remember meeting anyone by that name yet, so he introduces himself next.]

I'm Reisuke Houjou! [He holds up a hand puppet, which waves a little at her as he pretends to speak with it.] "It's nice to meet you, Onee-chan!"

[afterlifer]

It's good to meet you too, Reisuke and Reisuke's friend.

[ She'll address the puppet separately. ]

[hypervision]

[He giggles a little at that before lowering the handpuppet.]

So how long have you been here in this place?

[afterlifer]

Since around January! How about you?

[ Well, that's when she started showing up places anyway. She'd been around a little longer than that. ]

[hypervision]

I think it was...um, September when I came here to this place?

[He can't be sure, but that feels about right, since he knows that he was here sometime before Halloween happened.]

[afterlifer]

That's quite some time. Are you used to this place yet?

[hypervision]

...Dunno. It's different from home. [There's no one here actively trying to kill him, for starters.]

...But I like it, 'cause now there's so many friends to play with here!

[afterlifer]

I suppose this place is a paradise in its own way, isn't it? Even with flaws.

[hypervision]

Yeah. [He looks around a little, before he speaks.] This place is supposed to be the afterlife, but there's a lot less people here than I thought there would be.

[His parents aren't even here, despite the fact that they died before he did.]

[afterlifer]

If I'm not mistaken, only certain people arrive to this one.

[hypervision]

Huh? You have to be special to get here?

[Nobody really told him that part when he first got here--for some reason, he was starting to think that his parents had gone to...you know, the other place and that was why he hadn't seen them.]

[afterlifer]

The only people who appear here are people with regrets who didn't have the chance to take control of their own lives. People don't always appear in order, either.

[hypervision]

Oh... [But Ai's words make him frown as he says it, brow furrowed in thought. Sure, he was chosen to become a fighter in a game of life and death that he should have had any business being involved in, but he had been okay with that. And he did his best to fight against the 1st and 2nd. He had been in control of things then, hadn't he?]

But that's weird, 'cause I don't regret anything that happened. [...Or well, Reisuke didn't think he had any regrets at the time when he was dying, but now he can't help but wonder about that. He certainly hopes that the god of this place didn't just stick him here out of pity, 'cause that's just an insult to his status as an elite...]

[afterlifer]

Then maybe you're here for someone else?

[hypervision]

Huh, really? Like who?

[The only person he knew here from when he was alive was Yukiteru Amano, and his big brother is lame as hell so it surely can't be him, right.]

[afterlifer]

Well, I don't know your life so I wouldn't be able to tell you.
