SCHOOL FESTIVAL

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: School Festival / Arriving in the Afterlife!
WHEN: 9/30/2012. Morning through evening.
WHERE: All around! Mostly at the school, since it is a school festival!
WARNINGS: Potential violence, but since everyone's already dead it's not like it matters, BUT FOR THE MOST PART HUNKY DORY PG! So PG+V? That works.
SUMMARY: A school festival! Details here!

No matter where it is you woke up, if it's near buildings the sounds of merriment are all around. The shouts of people rooting for the winner of a game, students trying to pull in attention for their booths, adults laughing as they trip over themselves during a sport or someone screaming at the haunted house...

It's then that you realize you're at some kind of festival, everyone's invited, and no one seems to be bothering with money.

Then the realization that you're not even in your clothes. What the hell is this outfit? A school uniform? A janitor? A store clerk? Waitress?

No, no, the bigger question is deinitely "What the hell is going on and where am I?" With nothing but forest and mountains visible in the distance, it's kind of--

POP POP!

..Are those fireworks?

If your character isn't at one of the events and are elsewhere in the town/forest/school/dorms/exploring the buildings/wherever, feel free to just comment with their own thread at the bottom.
tenminutes: (I can't tell you what it is though.)

You're not very creative, are you?
superhacker: (i wanna tell you something)

[ All qualities Chihiro doesn't have... /derp ]

Um... it sounds challenging. W-well, maybe just once...
slave_of_suzumiya: (Why are you asking me?)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-09-30 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
Any reason I should be?
superhacker: (I can't wait to see tomorrow)

[personal profile] superhacker 2012-09-30 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... What... what team... have more blinking. ]

Ch... Chihiro Fujisaki.
tenminutes: (Juice boxes are better that coffee.)

Here I can walk, talk, and act alive. I even have to eat and breathe or it hurts a whole lot. But I'm definitely dead and there are three facts that prove that:

I remember my death, personally. Some people get amnesia here but it should clear up eventually. But the second is that we can't die again. For example, I could get chopped into a million pieces and the next day I'd be perfectly fine again, even if it hurt like hell and I bled all over the place and went through the process of dying. Then last, getting obliterated is a possibility. If you stop fighting against it, go along with things like normal, or get too satisfied you'll disappear. And by disappear, I mean this form right here is your soul. Your memories and everything about you will get erased, you'll stop existing, and your soul will get reincarnated into someone else.
tenminutes: (He wouldn't give me popsicles.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to be but it helps. --Hey, do you play baseball at all?
slave_of_suzumiya: (That's a tough one...)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-09-30 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
... I have some vague memories of being in a tournament once.
tenminutes: (Yandere look like they have fun!)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
Chihiro, huh? I'm Yuri. Come on down here!

[ Away from the audience, come on down! ]
tenminutes: (Dead people need caffeine to live.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
Perfect! We're forming a team, you can be the pitcher.
slave_of_suzumiya: (Foolproof? No such thing.)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-09-30 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
What, no try outs?

[Are you sure you're not Haruhi Suzumiya that mysterious girl whose name he can't remember, Yuri?]
tenminutes: (What was it again?)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
There aren't time for tryouts, the festival's probably one-day-only. Anyway, we're not going to enter normally, we're going to charge in and play without signing up.
slave_of_suzumiya: (You're speaking nonsense)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-09-30 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
... You're kidding, right?

(And once again, this girl feels more familiar than ever. Maybe I did know her when she was alive and she was just incredibly notorious for her ridiculous antics? I mean, I'd like to think I'd have steered well clear of her in that case which would probably account for why she doesn't know who I am.)
tenminutes: (Just a little chatterbox.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
If you don't do anything, you'll disappear.
slave_of_suzumiya: (... You can't be serious)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-09-30 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
Disappear? But we're dead, right?
tenminutes: (What do you mean personal space?)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Reincarnation. If you live normally here or become satisfied, you'll disappear. Memories and personality erased, then your soul gets reincarnated into someone or something else. If you're all screwed up before it happens, you might end up getting transformed into a sea cucumber.
slave_of_suzumiya: (You're speaking nonsense)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-09-30 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
A sea cucumber, huh?

(... That doesn't really sound fun.)

Fine, I'll play.
tenminutes: (Oooohohohohoho!)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
Great! If you talk to anyone else, invite them too. We need at least 7 people to play.
slave_of_suzumiya: (... What.)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-09-30 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
How many do you have?
tenminutes: (I should consider a career change.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
It's a secret. [ Kyon can definitely assume less than 7, though. ]
slave_of_suzumiya: (You're speaking nonsense)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-09-30 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
... By the way, I don't believe I got your name yet? Unless it's secret too.
tenminutes: (Were you all watching me sleep?)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ Of course, by the fourth bowl it's entirely possible that Yuri has ruined his meal. Why? She's flooded the giant container of ramen with wasabi paste.

You know, because people participating in things normally? She's doing everyone a favor by saving their... afterlives! ]
tenminutes: (Peachy keen!)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
It's Yuri Nakamura. Just Yuri, though. Nakamura's what the NPCs call me automatically, so it's more of a sign of creepiness than anything else. If you want to go with a dumb nickname, a certain idiot I know came up with "Yurippe." So either that or Yuri.
Edited (icon was wrong sob) 2012-09-30 09:49 (UTC)
slave_of_suzumiya: (It's not all bad)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-09-30 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yurippe, huh? I guess I can go with that.

[... Mostly because he's stuck with his own stupid nickname, so calling someone else by theirs makes him feel slightly better about it.]
tenminutes: (Of fucks I give. You didn't get that?)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
I knew you were going to pick that one, somehow.
slave_of_suzumiya: (Rare smile)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-09-30 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you're the one who provided the option.

(... Yuri Nakamura. Hmm... the name doesn't ring any bells, despite her apparent familiarity...)
