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.

[marumayu]

Why don't you come here and put that advice to the test yourself, then?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Don't mind if I do.

[Kyon will attempt to get a fish, only to fail on his first attempt.

... The second one does the trick though.]

[marumayu]

Hmph! [ She gets irritated when she sees him succeed! ] Don't get cocky because you caught a single fish.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Still 100% more fish than you've caught.

[marumayu]

I'm working on it, alright!? [ concentrate, izumo... she uses one of her paper nets to get another fish. it takes a while before she actually puts it in the water. by keeping kyon's advice in mind, she succeeds! HA! she grins as the stall owner gives her the goldfish in a bag. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

See, that wasn't so hard, was it?

[marumayu]

Don't make it sound like you helped me. [ ... but she gives the goldfish to him ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

You sure you don't want to keep it for yourself? I mean, after all the effort you went to...

[marumayu]

Ugh. [ it was originally a gift of gratitude, but kyon persuades her even more to force the gift onto him. ]

What are you saying? That took no effort at all! [ lies ] I can always catch another one again, so... you can keep it.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I guess, if you insist...

(I suppose I'll need a fishbowl now, huh?)

Anyway, I'm Kyon. And you are...?

[marumayu]

Kyon? I'm Izumo Kamiki. Don't you have another name I can call you? [ it's too early for nicknames! ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I'll admit, it's a stupid nickname, but I can't seem to recall much else about myself, so...

[marumayu]

You, too, huh? That's fine. It looks like none of us do. [ She keeps a straight face until this point. ] Pfft, Kyon, though...

[slave_of_suzumiya]

So, Miss Kamiki... Nice to meet you, I guess.

[marumayu]

Ah, yeah. [ what's with this mutual reluctance to get to know each other... ] Nice to meet you.

Well, I'm going to keep playing. Don't watch.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Sure, good luck at that, okay?

[marumayu]

... Yeah, thanks, whatever! [ She doesn't need luck, Kyon! ]
