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.

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.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... So, you go around picking fights with dangerous opponents then?

[tenminutes]

If I'm trying to find God, wouldn't going after one of his angels be the first step?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Have you even managed to fully confirm that it's actually an angel and not something else to begin with?

[tenminutes]

I told her to smile to prove she was human and she wouldn't. She hasn't denied it at all.

[ Because she's too awkward to keep up with Yuri, but.. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... She could be an alien.

[Because not smiling and having crazy powers is totally a thing aliens do.]

[tenminutes]

Why the hell would she be an alien?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Who's to say it's less likely than being an angel!?

[tenminutes]

We're in the afterlife, it goes hand in hand. Anyway, if I called her that and she didn't deny it even though I've talked to her multiple times, that's what any normal person would assume.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

What if you try calling her an alien then? Maybe that'll get a reaction.

[tenminutes]

Kyon, are you an alien?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Do I look like I'm anything out of the ordinary to you?

[tenminutes]

No, but you sound like it.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I was just offering an alternative to the idea that she was an angel!
