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.

I'm afraid I'm just an ordinary human being with no real notable talents to speak of...

(At least, as far as I can remember...)

I'm sorry he's such a dick

[wwaterboy]

[Eridan stares at him flatly]

You'vve got no talents?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Nothing to write home about at least.

[wwaterboy]

[Humans. Eridan's expression turns thoughtful and he fiddles with the sleeve of his uniform jacket] Very wwell. Then you clearly need some kind a patron. So you can fetch an carry an such for me wwhen wwe're wworkin', not to mention bein' a general advvisor on human-related matters, as I don't really knoww much about your primativve an wweird culture if I'm brutally honest here.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Speaking of being unfamiliar with things, what exactly are you supposed to be anyway?

[wwaterboy]

I'm a sea troll, a member of an alien race, an one of your creators, in point a fact.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Sea troll. ... Do you live under a bridge?

(Oddly, I'm not too surprised about an alien existing here... I'm not sure I even want to go near the "creator" part though. I'd rather not hear about the legends of the majestic trolls.)

[wwaterboy]

Wwhy wwould I livve under a bridge? [Totally baffled, man] In fact, back home I livved in a luxurious hivve befittin' a troll a my stature and royal lineage.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Last I heard, bridges were traditional troll dwellings.

[wwaterboy]

[This guy is either really dumb or making fun of him] I don't care wwhat you'vve heard. That's just fuckin' ridiculous.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right then, I apologise in that case.

[wwaterboy]

... Wwell, I'm magnanimous, and I'll forgivve you. Trolls livve in hivves, not under bridges, so keep that straight.

[He gestures about] So wwhat kind a place is this, anywway?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

It looks to be some kind of high school.

[wwaterboy]

And wwhat's that for?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

What's a high school? It's like an institute for learning.

[wwaterboy]

Oh, wwell obvviously. [Look, trolls don't have schools. They're all homeschooled and basically do it on their own since they're raised by animals. He considers it] So humans come to a particular buildin' all together to be schoolfed?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, that's right.

[wwaterboy]

Wweird. [He sighs] Wwell, it might be interestin', at least, to learn in a human manner.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I suppose that's one way of looking at it.

(... I never found it interesting though.)

[wwaterboy]

[He belatedly starts eating his okonomiyaki, tearing into it easily with his shark's teeth]

Hey, you suppose there's anywwhere wwhere I can get proper clothes around here?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I'm afraid not, Ampora. I don't really know what else there is around here...

[wwaterboy]

It's fuckin' unconscionable is wwhat it is. [Muttered] I don't evven havve my symbol anywwhere on these clothes I feel like nothin' more than a number, wwearin the same clothes as evveryone else. An it's completely unstylish.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Your symbol?

[wwaterboy]

Right, yeah! Evvery troll's got a symbol, and wwe alwways wwear it.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

So, maybe you could try drawing it on your new stuff?
