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: (It's brilliant!)

Promise not to get mad and I can prove it to you easily!
thneed: (☻ you son of a bitch)

[personal profile] thneed 2012-10-08 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
No? Maybe I'm not old enough to qualify as an adult. Or more likely, I don't deserve to be a snail so- [ tiny shrug ] Here I am. Yay me.

[ Midget ]
tenminutes: (You don't understand caffeine needs.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-08 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
You are dead, you're just not gone yet. What's your name?
tenminutes: (Blllllllp!)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-08 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
You do look kind of scrawny, but you're definitely older than you should be. If you don't want to be a snail, then don't go around doing things normally like participating in school activities. Do you have a key to a dorm room or are they making you stay outside? Check your pockets.

[ Tree killer. ]
thneed: (╔ I can be your new addiction)

[personal profile] thneed 2012-10-08 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
The last thing I want to be doing is participating. I just want to be left alone. [ A sigh. He empties his pockets. Just the key to the apartment that is not a dorm. ] Whatever that's too.

[ Vase breaker. ]
tenminutes: (That was a joke. Get it?)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-08 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
I spent most of my life alone and I'm sick of it, so you'll just have to deal with it. What's your name? [ While she examines this key. Really, what the fuck is this for? She's never seen anything like it.

Lorax's reject. ]
thneed: (ϟ For taking back the throne)

[personal profile] thneed 2012-10-08 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
It's better if I'm alone. What do you care what my name is? [ plus he already said it. if she wasn't listening that's her fault. He's looking at the key then taking the bass she stole, idly tuning it ] So where's that go? You're the expert on being dead, I'm guessing.

[ Life's reject ]
superhacker: (to the end of the day)

[personal profile] superhacker 2012-10-08 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
... Very good. [ He's not one to brag about his title, so you'll have a vague response. ]
tenminutes: (You don't understand caffeine needs.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-08 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Like hell if that sounds like a real name to her. ] No idea. I'm dead too, I've just been here longer than... most people today, actually. Did all of you just die in a giant tragedy or something?

I'm Yuri and if you don't tell me your name I'm going to come up with something.

[ You're dead now too, loser. ]

superhacker: (pushed as far as I can go)

[personal profile] superhacker 2012-10-08 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'll try and... not worry too much, Fai-kun.
tenminutes: (I should consider a career change.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-08 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
After the festival, do you think you could help me get into the teachers' computers after dark?
superhacker: (to communicate)

[personal profile] superhacker 2012-10-08 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... Ahh? ]

You're asking me to do a hack?
thneed: (™ the fuck you talking about)

[personal profile] thneed 2012-10-08 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mother made it up. Sob. ] If everyone else did, I know nothing about it.

I told you my name already, Yuri. Keep your nicknames to yourself.

[ Oh yeah... ]

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
No you didn't, you gave me some stupid made up title you came up with. [ The fuck is a once-ler anyway.

Yuri thinks for a moment. Hm, foreign names 'cuz he's obviously not Japanese. ]


How about Jared? You look like a Jared.

thneed: (☁ someday we'll find it)

[personal profile] thneed 2012-10-08 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a made up title. That's my name. Take out the 'mister.'

[ slouches and gives her a dull look ]

I'm not a Jared.
tenminutes: (I really love pinwheels.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-08 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
If you can. "Very good" was pretty vague. I want to see if there's anything on there that would lead me to the one I'm after.
tenminutes: (You didn't believe me.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-08 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, Jared Once-ler's got kind of a nice ring to it...
slave_of_suzumiya: (You're still not listening...)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-10-08 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
How should I know? You're the expert around here.
thneed: (ϟ when i asked for seeds)

[personal profile] thneed 2012-10-08 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Why Jared?
tenminutes: (That was a joke. Get it?)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-08 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
What if someone was so stupid they thought they could study for 100 years and then in their next life they'd be a genius?
slave_of_suzumiya: (You're still not listening...)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-10-08 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
As if I'd know where it is anyway...
tenminutes: (It's brilliant!)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-08 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
I told you, you look like a Jared. You called yourself "Mister Once-ler" anyway right? That implies it's your last name.
slave_of_suzumiya: (You're speaking nonsense)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-10-08 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
You wouldn't retain any memories of your previous life if you were reincarnated anyway, so what use would it be?
tenminutes: (But only when I wear my glasses!)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-08 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
That's why I said "so stupid."
thneed: na na na na na na na na na na (✿ Let's blow an artery)

[personal profile] thneed 2012-10-08 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
The Once-ler. It's not a Jared Once- ...You know what I don't even care. Fine.
