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.

[onewayroad]

Can't come up with something worthwhile on your own?

[Yep, can't just play along and give her an answer straight away.]

[afterlifer]

I already had an idea. Youuuu told me it was pointless.

[onewayroad]

Yeah. Because it wasn't worthwhile. Whether it's an NPC disappearing, or a dark cloud suddenly flickering into view for a brief moment, there's shit all anyone can do besides be on their guard.

[afterlifer]

You never know what you might find when you're looking, Accelerator.

[onewayroad]

...How do you know who I am?

[afterlifer]

I looked it up in the library and matched all the photos to the names on the phone. You can access the school roster from there.

[ She seems like she means it anyway. ]

[onewayroad]

You must have been really bored to do that.

[something about her explanation feels a little unnatural, but he holds off on commenting on said aspect.]

[afterlifer]

I considered sleeping in, since if you don't go to class there's not much to do all the time.

[onewayroad]

...

Who are you?

[afterlifer]

My name's Ai. Nice to meet you.

[ She holds out her hand like she wants to shake. ]

[onewayroad]

[glances at her outstretched hand, then back at her face. one of his hands is still holding the bag full of convenience store consumable booty; the other is on his hip still.]

Save shit like handshakes for someone else.

[maybe if he glares her hand to death she'll retract it.]

[afterlifer]

[ She'll retract it with or without the glaring if he says no. ]

Handshakes aren't your thing?

[onewayroad]

Not remotely.

[afterlifer]

[ She contemplates briefly if she should offer a high five, another common human greeting, but this individual isn't someone who appears very social.

She'll stick to the verbal. ]

It's a pleasure to meet you anyway.

[onewayroad]

[annoyed sigh, complete with eyeroll. he barely refrains from making a scathing comment on the onesidedness of this 'pleasure.' instead, subject change.]

How much of the library have you raided yet?

[The library is one of the few places on the school campus where you can easily find something productive to do if you don't bother with classes.]

[afterlifer]

Most of it. I'm quite the reader. Why?

[onewayroad]

You could go piss off and finish the rest of it.

[That library isn't tiny, and yet she's already read most of it?]

[afterlifer]

There's something to be done right now though, isn't there?

[onewayroad]

[his eyebrow twitches slightly]

We already went over this.

[afterlifer]

I meant in the general situation, not this specific instance of searching through the woods.
