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.

Isn't it always for fun?

[marumayu]

[ Aside from that!

Wait, she recognizes him now. Wasn't he that guy in the baseball competition earlier? ]

You looked like you enjoyed it.

[youthbuster]

You can only have so much fun for so long. I had to enjoy this festival to the fullest!

Were you watching the baseball game?

[marumayu]

I told Naoe-san I would. [ It's not like she wanted to see if he really recruited Rin or anything!! ] Are you that Kyousuke he kept talking about?

[youthbuster]

Yes, I am. You ran into Riki, yes? What a guy. He's really something else.

[marumayu]

Huh. I expected someone cooler. Mm, he asked if I could join your team. I couldn't at that time, though.

... What do you mean by that? "He's really something else."

[youthbuster]

Yes. He really is. He goes far beyond what people normally go for others. I have the highest respect for him. He's really someone you could count on, for anything.

It's a shame you couldn't join our team, I would've loved to see your pitching hand. [Because you look like you could pitch something fierce!]

[marumayu]

He doesn't sound like a bad guy... [ oh, did she say that out loud? ]

It's nothing special. I have no interest in sports. It's too troublesome for a girl like me.

[ she's never played a team sport, either. ]

[youthbuster]

Not a bad bone in him, I tell you.

But, really? No interest at all? Don't you think it's thrilling and exciting?

[marumayu]

[ bites her lip ]

That's the thing - I'm not fond of things "thrilling and exciting". I'll only get tired and sweaty.

[ She doesn't have friends to play with, anyway. ]

[youthbuster]

That's part of the thrill and the excitement! The sweat and tears of your efforts to win! [She didn't say tears, but it would've been more cooler.]

Doesn't it sound like fun? Working hard with people to achieve a goal everyone wants...it's really moving, in a sense.

[marumayu]

[ TEARS!? But what Kyousuke says reminds her of her classmates and their previous battles. ]

It's moving, but... [ shakes her head ] Ahh, I don't really understand it! Why did I want to do it?

[youthbuster]

Did you want to? There's going to be more than just that one game, I assure you.

Why not join us?

[marumayu]

I'll pass. I'm not that into groups. [ nor is she good at talking to boys ]

[youthbuster]

What if it's a dynamic super group?

[Completely serious.]

[marumayu]

That sounds more tiring than it should be.

[ kyousukeeeeee this idea is just dumb to her rn ]

[youthbuster]

You'll get a super dynamic nickname and catchphrase.

[marumayu]

What kind of nickname and catchphrase do you have?

[youthbuster]

Hmm.

"Pickled Eyebrow Wonderwoman!"

[Izumo Kamiki has gained the title "Pickled Eyebrow Wonderwoman!"]

[marumayu]

[ COVERS HER EYEBROWS WITH HER HAND ]

I'm joining if it means I get to change that stupid name!

[youthbuster]

Good to have you Pickles!

Changing it might take time, depending on if you're willing to put your life at stake.

[maromayu]

[ She twitches at the name. ]

As long as it's nothing too stupid. Come to think of it, you haven't exactly mentioned what this group is all about.
