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.

By the way, just because I told you my story doesn't mean if you remember yours that you have to share so don't feel obligated.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I'll keep that in mind... So, how was it, that you died...? I mean, you must have been pretty strong to hold together after what happened...

(I wonder how it was that I died? ... I hope it was at least something cool and not stupid like being hit by a bus or train.)

[tenminutes]

It's not really important is it? It wasn't suicide or anything, don't worry.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I guess not, in the bigger picture...

(... It couldn't have been worse than her siblings, could it?)

[tenminutes]

All that matters is I'm dead as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

What are you gonna do about it? It's not like you can just make yourself alive again.

(Is she trying to bring new meaning to the phrase "Like a bat out of hell"? ... Or perhaps a "batter" would be more appropriate, considering the whole baseball thing.)

[tenminutes]

I'm going to kick God's ass.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Kick... God's ass? You're kidding, right?

[tenminutes]

Do I look like I'm joking?

[ Look at this poker face. It's so pokertastic. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

But... it's God, how can you even be sure they exist!?

[tenminutes]

I believe he exists. Besides, is that seriously coming from someone in an afterlife?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

(... That's a good point.)

So, have you ever seen any evidence of him?

[tenminutes]

An angel! Also, afterlife.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

An angel? What did it look like?

[tenminutes]

Silver hair, golden eyes, and a blade made of light that appears out of thin air!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

A... blade of light, huh? No wings?

[tenminutes]

Wouldn't that just be too cliche?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

How can you be sure it was an angel and not some monster with a really scary knife?

(... An angelic looking person with a scary knife. Feels familiar somehow.)

[tenminutes]

She didn't look like a monster.

[ Duh. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, she didn't necessarily look like an angel either from the sounds of it...

[tenminutes]

Sure she did. Angels are lightly colored, pretty, benevolent, and she was the student council president.

I should find out who the student council president is now! Maybe Angel got fired and they replaced her with a new one and that's why everything's different!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

A pretty, benevolent, school council president who suddenly turns up with a big scary knife... Sounds like something right from my nightmares.

[tenminutes]

She only shows up if you cause trouble, too. Like a regulator of justice, except with a light sword. Knife. Short sword?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Wouldn't it be easier to not cause trouble and avoid being threatened with the scary knife?

[tenminutes]

If you don't do something to keep yourself from disappearing you're a goner, you know.
