SCHOOL FESTIVAL

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.

The ritual you're no longer sure you're worthy to perform.

[he recalls his own failed attempts at using his power on anything, before Yuri had stumbled upon him.]

If that was some attempt at magic [nope, gives no fucks about being blunt and out in the open about the existence of magic. not like anyone else is around anyway] then you must not have been here long.

What do you mean by that? What do you know about magic?

[ She figures if she needs more information out of him, she'll need to give him some answers. Her voice is softer this time around. ]

That was a summoning ritual. Haven't you ever tried it before? They teach it at... some school. [ Rrgh, why can't she remember its name? What was she studying there for, anyway? ]

I know what an annoying twelve year old bitch told me and what I've seen myself.

[he knows more than that. This is just the important part.]

Magic isn't meant for an esper like me to use. [that's all she needs to know] As for what I mean . . . had you been here any length of time you'd have already tried long ago, right? That's the first thing I did.

[ That's vague, but as long as he's aware of it. ]

Yeah, this is my first time trying it. So it's not just me... [ She should ask Rin about his powers, too, when she gets the chance. She takes and smooths out the paper with a drop of her blood on it. ] It still doesn't make sense. As long as I have enough spiritual fortitude and this magic circle, there's no way for it not to work!

[ There's another thing she noticed, but she doesn't want to tell him. Not yet, when he's still taking her seriously. ]

My ability ought to work as long as I can concentrate, and I spent the better part of a half hour trying and failing. You're probably fucked in that department. Something related to the laws that rule over this place must be in effect.

[nope, he's not mentioning the excuse Yuri gave him. That this is the afterlife. The last thing he needs is this girl becoming annoying over something he refuses to believe is a possibility.]

sorry for the late tag! but i really want to continue this thread hnngh.

[ Okay, first things first. It is really weird to hear something intelligent in Rin's voice. She'll try to get over that soon. Secondly, she has never experienced this sort of limitation before, but it's an interesting theory. She walks past him and looks at the forest at the horizon. ]

Then there shouldn't be a problem once we leave its boundaries, right?

In theory.

[He shoves his hands in his pockets]

No fucking idea how huge this place is, though.
