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.

[ Haine doesn't particularly care about not being sure as to what's going on. Not a lot new there! It doesn't take her long to wander around and get into the swing of things. Easily distracted, Haine is emersed in the catching of bright goldfish. Animals are so cute, aren't they? She's very enthusiastic about it... ]

Ohya! Come to my scoop, fish friends!

[superhacker]

[ Unfortunately, she's going to startle the poor Chihiro, who was merely passing by and looking at the games without playing. ]

E-excuse me...?

[waltzhagen]

[ She turns from trying to scoop up gold fish quite violently to smile at the cute girl. ]

Hmm~?

[superhacker]

W-why were you yelling, miss...?

[ He's already shaking all over from the scare, uuuu... ]

[waltzhagen]

[ Ahhh what did she do. ]

Oh my god! I wasn't yelling at you! Honest!

[superhacker]

Y-you weren't? Then why...?

[waltzhagen]

The fish! [ She points to the fish floating in the small pool, defiantly swimming around. ] I was motivating them!

[superhacker]

[ ...

Why did he even ask. ]

Motivating them... to do what?

[waltzhagen]

To get in the scoop! [ She waves it around. ] Have you never done a goldfish scoop before?

[superhacker]

... No.

[ He's really confused now. ]

[waltzhagen]

You should try it! It's super fun! And you can take home a fish!

[superhacker]

...

[ He looks over at the tank full of fishes. Then back at the girl. ]

How do I do that...?

[waltzhagen]

It's really easy! Even I can do it. [ That's saying a lot. ]

You just take the tiny paper scoop and try to get the fish! It's pretty tricky and the scoop can break really easily, but that's part of the fun! It takes skill and a good eye and sharp reflexes!

[superhacker]

[ All qualities Chihiro doesn't have... /derp ]

Um... it sounds challenging. W-well, maybe just once...

[waltzhagen]

[ She hands "her" her scoop. ]

You can do it! Just watch out and don't get wet!

[superhacker]

I-I'll try...

[ Ok, going to take the paper scoop and... stare at the pool. Doing nothing. Uh, these fishes are moving too fast-- ]

[waltzhagen]

Just try to stick it in once. Just to get a feel of it!

[ oh that sounds bad ]

[superhacker]

Just... stick it? Okay.

[ He's going for the dive! Sticking that scoop in the water and... it breaks. ]

Ah...

[waltzhagen]

[ Haine looks at it sadly, but refuses to give up on her!! ]

That happens! They have more you can use.

[superhacker]

Um... I'll take those then.

[ And then the next minute will be all Chihiro trying and failing over and over and over... he's made quite the pile of broken scoops there. ]

[marumayu]

[ Haine, you're endearing. Izumo doesn't think so, though. ]

What an idiot. They're not going to willingly jump out of the water if you call out to them like that.

SORRY I'M LATE

[waltzhagen]

[ Rude, she should be, Izumo! ]

I'm calling out to them! They'll come to me that way!

IT'S OKAY

[marumayu]

I just said it wouldn't--ah, never mind! [ she keeps fishing on her own, but alas, she hasn't caught anything. ]

[waltzhagen]

[ Haine stares at the other girl, obviously not having any luck not like he is either ]

You should yell too! That way the fish know you want to meet them!

[marumayu]

What?! There's no way I'd do something so ridiculous!

[ She's already yelling, though. Just... not for the fish. And not very cheerfully. ]
