SCHOOL FESTIVAL

[afterlifer]

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.

[ guys just stop

In an attempt to fish more than Rin, she moves her paper net quickly!

... at the cost of it ripping apart the first time. That's okay - she has another! And on her second try, she successfully catches one. Just one. ]

[tsunball]

The second is better, that cancels it out! Either way, it just says 'this dude is a cool guy', doesn't it?! [ he's just desperately trying to save himself.. ]

[loserthug]

[ As more kept coming, Yuri kept knocking them down and back. Though most of them were easy targets, he took his fair share of hits too. But even so, he was smiling wide. It wasn't until the boy standing next to him spoke that he was pulled back into reality. Ha. There were three already on the ground, out like lightbulbs, and many of the students had already left to avoid getting caught into it. Another one threw a punch towards Yuri. ]

No idea, math's not my strong point. [ A side-step, as he grabbed, the attacker by his arm, twisting his body, and with a yell, flipped him down unto the ground. He looked behind him. ]

Maybe we caused a little too much mischief. [ He said, with an obvious smile on his face. ]

[ leon kuwata: destroyer of dreams one by one ]

.. Y.. you're seriously only focused on eating, aren't you?! Why aren't you some kind of fatty yet?!

[tsunball]

... You're enjoying this, aren't you?

[ He isn't too sure to feel about that, honestly, but either way.. he spots an opening in the crowd of people by now, and Leon does know to get away when the ground under his feet is getting too hot-- he ducks to avoid another guy's punch and then reaches out to grab Yuri's wrist quickly. ] Then enjoy it sometime later, we're getting the hell out of here before they give us dentention or whatever shit it is they give here!

[ And at least nobody could say Leon wasn't quick - all that baseball paid off, okay - since he immediately dashes through the opening with the other guy at top speed, leaving the group of people behind bewildered. He doesn't stop running until they're on the other side of the school building, letting himself flop onto the grass. ]

[extraordinarily]

Hmm. I guess I'll just have to find out more from other people.

[clockedout]

Perhaps. Though we can never be too sure. There have been rumors circulating that 'Shakespeare' was actually more than one person. Or that he was a fraud.

[miiracles]

[ She can hear the muttering, but she doesn't comment on it. It feels like she's falling into Hanyuu's role. The last bit catches her attention, since it's similar to how she turned up. For a moment, she thought this guy was all a part of this "stage". ]

What do you mean that you "just appeared" here?

[tenminutes]

I'll just assume you're a cool guy when you prove it.

[miiracles]

[ There's a small delay in her response. She's already taken aback by hearing the fact that it's currently October. If it's October, then she shouldn't be alive. It has always been June, for Rika. She wants to ask "When did it become October?" But she won't bring it up for the moment, in fear of being looked at strangely. ]

In the Izumo region. I've heard of it. [ But only that much. Hanyuu might know more, if she were here... ]

[miiracles]

[ It's disheartening to hear. She does remember them always being with her, in every life. The first thing she saw whenever she woke up was Hanyuu, but it was different here. ]

I remember being with them before I turned up here. They should be around somewhere. [ She's hoping she really just didn't look around hard enough and she'll find them eventually. For her to wind up somewhere without them is very unusual for her. ]

[tenminutes]

Not sure yet. You're older so.. [ As she looks around off the roof, she points at the town, almost hidden by the trees from this angle. ] That's new.

[miiracles]

[ Zoned out? Oops, she didn't mean to. It feels like she's being called out for acting incorrectly. Although she doesn't really feel like smiling, she suddenly beams, putting on the cheerful mask of Rika Furude. ]

I'm not zoned out anymore. Nipa~☆

[tenminutes]

The same reason someone whose legs were cut off when they were alive would have them here, probably. You got better, back to the state you're supposed to be in.

[thneed]

They renovated the afterlife?

[onewayroad]

Is that right.

[his tone is noncommittal. he doesn't even bother making it sound like a question. After a pause he adds:]

Have you been here long?

[his curiosity got the best of him, and it seems the least invasive thing to ask]

[youthbuster]

Not a bad bone in him, I tell you.

But, really? No interest at all? Don't you think it's thrilling and exciting?

[miiracles]

...I've arrived here recently.

[ And she doesn't know where she is. Leaving that part out for now... ]

What about you?

[onewayroad]

Today.

[miiracles]

[ So, it's just like her and the boy she ran into earlier. She has always been reluctant asking "strange" questions, but hearing his answer, she feels she can ask the question without feeling awkward. ]

Mii. Do you know where this school is located?

[onewayroad]

[He lets out a sigh and starts rubbing at the back of his neck.]

No. Sorry, kid.

[wwaterboy]

Howw'm I supposed to knoww that?

[wwaterboy]

[Ah, excellent, they're finally getting somewhere. He nods and gives her a wave]

Thanks for the info. I'll see you again, then.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I'm sure if you explore the campus, you'll find the art room eventually.

[wwaterboy]

Wwell. [Okay, he's got no real answer to that, only he still thinks she's wrong] I still say wwhether wwe're dead or alivve right noww, wwe're movvin' around an it's a lot like bein' alivve. And I'vve got flesh an blood! You can look at me and see that's true.
