afterlogs | what do I even sing in a month like March

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.

You can say that.

So how old would that be? If you don't mind sharing, of course!

I… don’t know.

[ It’s not as if she’s been counting the years she’s looped! ]

Too many to count.

That's hard to imagine... Actually losing track. It must have been a really long time.

How did you manage to live that long?

I made a wish to go back to the day I met my very best friend, in an attempt to prevent her death. I looped that one month over and over, repeatedly. As long as I believed that one day I would save her, there was no way for me to die. But that wasn't why I died to begin with.

That's...

[...Well, that's definitely not even close to the kind of answer he had been expecting. He'll just... take a second to try to process that, because damn.]

All that happened because of a wish? [It's hard to imagine, but the same could be said for a lot of things in his own life.] ...This friend... must be very special to you indeed.

And because of my prior ignorance.

What do you mean?

There were things I didn't know before I made my wish that I found out after the fact.

Things that complicated matters, I'm guessing. So like the old saying, then? 'Be careful what you wish for'?

It is exactly like that. After all, there are consequences for every action.

...Yes, there certainly are.

[He knows that very well himself, from experience.]

Often consequences we can't foresee. Was that the case with you?

I did not see them at first, naturally. It took a while for me to see the truth. That's why I had to take action into my own hands.

...I'm guessing it didn't work out well, considering where we are.

I wouldn't know. Since I do not remember.

Oh, I see... Sorry. Well, I guess we're kind of in the same boat there, though.

[He's getting kind of tired of the whole missing memories thing, honestly.]

...I'd say that I hope you remember what happened soon, but that depends on whether or not you actually want to.

I can guess what happened, actually. Though I cannot be sure that it is the truth.

A reasonable guess is still better than nothing. So what do you think happened?

I destroyed the world, and therefore, myself along with it.

[...UM. WELL THEN.

He did not see that one coming.]

You... what now?

Like I said. It is only a possibility, though.

That's... still not a possibility most would even consider. [So unsure of what to do with this information.] So it had to have been at least a fairly likely scenario.

...Can I ask why you'd want to do something like that?

[Though honestly he can't imagine an answer that would make him go 'Oh well, alright then' to someone destroying the world. But he has to at least ask.]

Once all the evil was to be cleansed from the world, I was planning on personally destroying it so I could play the role of the villain for everyone.

[...Welp. As expected, that's... not really a reason Ling is very happy with.

And Greed seems to agree, so he'll just react so Ling doesn't have to.]

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Perhaps, but there always has to be an evil entity in the world. Otherwise it would be a paradise, would it not?
