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.

[Voices. Screaming. His eyes snap open.]

[In an abrupt motion he sits up and reaches to draw his sword. A sword that isn't there. Not even a sword belt! Not even the sheath!! It's during this confused moment that God-General Asch the Bloody learns that not only is his weapon missing, but so is everything else, including his Maestro Robe. Instead he's left wearing what he can only assume to be civilian clothing.]

[Has he just been played for a fool?]

[Was he wrong to hire out the Dark Wings? Was the tip about Van just a ploy so they could return in force to strip him of everything and then go gallivanting around Baticul disguised as an Oracle Knight? No, none of that felt right. And where--...]
deathmetalist: (That'll leave a mark)

[personal profile] deathmetalist 2012-09-30 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
HELP MEEEEEE!

[Flying across the room as the next student jumps out at her in a zombie mask, Yui all but trips into Ash and over him, crashing into a pile of decorations.]

O-ouch...
nopinkyswears: (✘ We Will Fight)

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-09-30 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that does it! Asch instinctively leaps to his feet, looking around for the first something - anything - he can use as a weapon. That something turns out to be a(n) plastic axe yanked out of one of the skulls scattered across a table, but the axe is too light in his hands. Absolutely useless!]

Hey! What the hell is going on in here?! Where--!

[That's when Asch is knocked backwards by the near-collision. He fumbles for a handhold, and ends up grabbing onto the edge of a black sheet hanging from the ceiling. It promptly gives, spilling sunlight into the room.]
deathmetalist: (I'll never let go Jack)

[personal profile] deathmetalist 2012-10-01 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[That's just fine! Because light is good-! Daylight is very good! Dead or not haunt houses are kind of really scary oh gawd why did she decide to go in??

Leaping from her own debris of broken decorations, she leaps up from her spot on the ground and grabs his arm, hiding behind him.]


SEEENPAII [Stranger or not it doesn't really matter right now.] Quick, find the way out! You've got to lead the way out!
nopinkyswears: (✘ The Sound of a Fight)

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-10-01 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Light. A room? They're inside of a room...?]

Tch!! [Asch finds himself being pushed and shoved off-balance again, only this time he manages to steady himself. Nngh...it's like her voice is digging nails right into his eardrums.] Let go, woman! If you keep making a commotion, it'll be the same as inviting them to finish the job!

Do you or do you not want to make it out of this alive? [And here he'll try to shake his arm out of her grip. He can't fight with her holding onto his sword arm like that.] Just be quiet and stay behind me.
deathmetalist: (SAY UNCLE!)

[personal profile] deathmetalist 2012-10-04 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[WHOA. He was so serious just now. His choice of words struck her though. A funny joke, ordinarily but they were dealing with a haunted house. This defied all reason. Screaming, she clung onto him more tightly.]

NOOOO!! I'm too cute to die again!! Are they really trying to kill people again!? What kind of a messed up haunted house is this!?
nopinkyswears: (✘ The Sound of a Fight)

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-10-04 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is Asch, Yui, Asch is always serious!]

[He'll try to jostle her off again. What is this girl, a leech?!]
Woman, I said let go! How the hell do you expect me to take care of those monsters when you're the one limiting the use of my arm?

[But something she says does strike him as strange. Two things. Die again? Haunted house?]

...What? Don't tell me you actually believe there are ghosts here.
deathmetalist: (I see morons)

[personal profile] deathmetalist 2012-10-09 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... DUH.

[She's not releasing him just yet, but she's definitely giving him a definite look. Her moron detector is going off.]

Well, I don't know if that's politically correct though. I guess in the end if you're dead, you're dead!
nopinkyswears: (✘ Father Has Spoken)

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-10-10 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Asch regards her sharply, eyes narrowed, as he utters a grunt of annoyance. This time he'll actually give his arm a forcible (civilian or not she's being a pain!) yank.]

There's no such thing as ghosts, and they're not dead! But they would be out of the way, if you'd quit being an idiot and let go of me!! I don't have time to be messing around!

[What was that thing he said about being quiet?]

[Dammit, here they come. Only...now he's got a better look at one of them. They don't look much like monsters.]
tenminutes: (I made HIM make me a sandwich.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Seriously, is Yuri going to have to set up some kind of warning thing so that all the real people stop freaking out if they end up in the haunted house.

It was ridiculously easy to tell who was and wasn't real here though. Real panic from the real people, screams and then laughs from the fakes. ]


I don't know if the fake people will come back, so try not to hurt them okay?

nopinkyswears: (✘ Are You Listening?)

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-09-30 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
['Fake people'? Does she mean replicas? It isn't common knowledge, which is more than enough reason for Asch to remain on his guard. Sobering, he pulls himself to his feet, keeping a wary eye on this girl.]

What are you talking about? Do you know something about all of this?
tenminutes: (What do you mean personal space?)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-09-30 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Geez, isn't there anyone besides me who's been around for more than a day? You're in the afterlife. Most of the students aren't real people. They're like.. robots, or NPCs from a video game. They also might be flesh, I don't know, but there's a chance they won't just recover if you hurt them like we will so don't interfere with them.
nopinkyswears: (✘ The Sound of a Fight)

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-10-01 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[The afterlife? Is this her idea of a joke? Well if it is, he's definitely not laughing. And though he doesn't know what an NPC or a video game is, if these aren't real people then they've got to be either fontech machines or (if they really are made of flesh) replicas. But how are there so many of them, and what exactly does she mean by "won't just recover"?]

If they're responsible for making trouble, I'm going to interfere. You can't honestly expect me to leave them alone.

Who are you with? The Dark Wings? Or maybe Van sent you.
tenminutes: (You don't understand caffeine needs.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-01 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
They won't make trouble. Some of them might react if you do, but they won't even remember the next day.

Who's Van and what are the Dark Wings? I told you, you're dead.
nopinkyswears: (✘ Don't Waste Your Time)

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-10-01 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asch figures if she really doesn't know who Van or the Dark Wings are, then she must not be working with them. It could be a ruse, but...he doesn't think so. Whether she's being serious or not is still up for debate.]

And for just how long have they been wandering around like this? I find it hard to believe no one's reported them or that the counsel would tolerate an unexplained surge in the number of "immigrants".

[Is she still going on about that? Asch scowls, his tone sharp.] Don't be stupid. I'm not dead.
tenminutes: (Just a little chatterbox.)

[personal profile] tenminutes 2012-10-01 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know where you're from, but there's no counsel here. There's just dead kids and the NPCs. There's no one to report them to either unless you find God, in which case you'd better tell me where he is.
nopinkyswears: (✘ Don't Waste Your Time)

Oops, sorry for the typo.

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-10-01 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't matter. [Asch's patience is running thin. All of this dead people and "NPC" business is about as clear to him as mud. And given his luck, he won't make it to the checkpoint in time.] I don't know who you are or what you want, but I'm not dead. Otherwise I wouldn't be standing here.

If you're finished, I'll go look for this "God" myself. Maybe he'll be willing to take a less passive stance regarding the...NPCs.

[Asch's world religion circles around a bunch of magical sound particles whose existence hasn't been proven, a really smart chick who could communicate with it and see the future, and the resulting prophecy. He's completely missing the cultural significance here.]
fortepian: If icons have no credit then I have made them. (I have the worst headache.)

[personal profile] fortepian 2012-10-03 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Frederic was just wandering around, unsure of how a haunted house worked when one was already dead. Were they not the ghosts themselves? It's while he's lost in his thoughts that Frederic accidentally almost walks into him. Thankfully he stops before he does that.]

Oh, excuse me. My apologies.

[He gives him a slight bow to be polite before he starts to walk away again. There is a lot to think about here.]
nopinkyswears: (✘ To the Soldier)

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-10-03 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asch scowls quietly, but at least this man hasn't latched onto him or started spouting nonsense about NPCs and his being dead. Therefore, Asch offers a very slight, very stiff nod, watching as he begins walking away.]

[Then a thought occurs to him; Asch half turns.]


Tell me, do you know how far it is to Baticul?
fortepian: If icons have no credit then I have made them. (His face at my icon keywords really.)

[personal profile] fortepian 2012-10-03 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Baticul?

[That sounds like nothing where he comes from. This is strange and so he frowns, a little worried.]

Could you tell me where that is located?
nopinkyswears: (✘ Are You Listening?)

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-10-04 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asch frowns too. Does this mean there's yet another person who honestly doesn't know where they are and how to navigate the world?]

It's the capital of Kimlasca, located to the north on the Aberrian continent.
fortepian: If icons have no credit then I have made them. (How is he 39?)

[personal profile] fortepian 2012-10-06 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid I have never heard of such places. [They're nothing even like his own dream.] Does this strange place hold more than one...? [That was mostly muttering to himself.]

If you wouldn't mind a question for yourself, could you tell me your last memory? I'm sorry for such a personal question.
nopinkyswears: (✘ These Lessons We've Learned Here)

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-10-06 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
More than one what?

[Really. Is everyone in this place cracked or is this all part of some elaborate scheme that makes no sense? Or maybe...they really don't know? That still doesn't seem possible. How could anyone not know about one of the two major countries of the world?]

[Asch raises a hand to his chin contemplatively. He might be able to learn something if he plays along, as much as he dislikes revealing things about himself. How much should he say?]


It was nighttime in Baticul. I was...discussing an important matter with my superior.
fortepian: If icons have no credit then I have made them. (We may be able to help you.)

[personal profile] fortepian 2012-10-09 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He purposely acts like he didn't hear the question. Right now he's just going through random ideas in his mind and he'd rather not have a million and one questions regarding that so far.

But to that answer, he nods.]
That's really all you remember? [Frederic won't ask what the important matter was. That's much too personal. But with the way this person is acting he doesn't have any idea what's going on. This place is new to him. That means a lot.]
nopinkyswears: (✘ Don't Waste Your Time)

[personal profile] nopinkyswears 2012-10-10 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Asch scowls irritably, but lets it go. As much as he hates it when people withhold information from him, it probably isn't all that important. How can it be, if this man's never even heard of Baticul?]

Of course that's all I remember! If you're expecting me to go along with those idiot women and make up some story about my being killed, then I have nothing else to say to you. I didn't die, and I'm not dead now.
