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.

[This....is a little startling to say the least. For the life of her, Yuuki can't figure out where she's at or what is going on.

Or maybe better yet why a bunch of girls seem to know her, that, she can't recall at all. Although it's fair to say she's become a little more well known. But these girls are just human, aren't they? In the end they're the ones who recommended that she visit the maid cafe.

To say she's uneasy is an understatement. But maybe sitting down and having a bite of okonomiyaki will help clear her head. She needed to get out of the direct sun, anyway.]

[Lost in thought, Kyon leans back on his chair in the café until Yuuki walks in.]

Hm?

[He glances to the side...]

(It looks like she's feeling a little out of place here too...)

Yo...

Hi... [She spares him an odd glance. Does he know her too? Taking a seat at a table beside his, she's quiet a moment, while one of the waitresses takes her rather simple order.

With a glance in his direction, again, she finally speaks up.]

Hey... I know this might- well actually I'm sure it will - sound like an odd question but... [How is she even supposed to begin with this?]

Err...I'm kind of lost. Do you know what school this is?

Oh, uh, sure... It's...

...

... I'm not sure to be honest.

(That's absolutely one of the kinds of things I should definitely know, isn't it? I mean, I'm here aren't I?)

Ehh? [That's definitely strange.] The same as me...?

I guess so...

[He'll let out a sigh, unsure what to make of things...]

The plot thickens... [OTL Deep sigh to mirror his. Okay...so there's two of them here in the same position. What does that mean?]

I'm Yuuki. [She says finally. Might as well talk and figure out what to do from here.]

Nice to meet you, Yuuki. I'm Kyon.

(... Damn it! How could I let that happen!? I introduced myself by that stupid nickname! I should let her know my actual name before it catches on... ... Okay, great. I can't seem to remember my name. What the hell's up with that?)

Kyon-san... [Head tilt] That's different. [Not bad, but an unusual name all the same.]

Yeah, I guess it is, huh?

(Okay, we're at a school festival... No idea which school or why... This is going just great, isn't it?)

Ah—!

[ intrigued curiosity from a looming noodle. ]

That certainly looks tasty.

[Well, Yuuki wont deny good taste in food! She smiles up at the noodle]

It's one of my favorite things at home. I got ushered to the cafe so thought I might as well enjoy it.

[At the very least she can sit down a minute and think]

They were rather keen to get everyone inside!

[ he stoops a little, a hand bracing against the ledge to let somebody past him, and when he leans back, he's inspecting the dish again. ]

Does it have a name?

[At least if there is one thing Yuuki will never complain about, it's food. Although unfortunately, the thirst hidden beneath the material hunger is there. She swallows thickly as he squeezes closer in order to let one of the waitresses pass by.

Focus, Yuuki. She's still confused enough that it's at least a distraction, as well as the meal before her. She shakes her head before forcing a smile.]

It's called Okonomiyaki. It's kind of like...a pizza. [If he is a foreigner, maybe it is easier to describe like that.] It's like a pancake that you can have cooked with whatever toppings you want on top. You'd really enjoy it I think!

Hmmmmmmm, all these names. [ but he seems charmed. ] Would you mind if I waited for one with you, then?

Be my guest.

[She scoots her chair over, in order to make room for him to come around and sit down.]

I like sweet toppings, but everyone orders differently. You might prefer one a little more salty.

Hey, you!

[ Sorry, Yuuki, but Haruhi Suzumiya needs to bother every person who doesn't look like... one of those weird 'NPCs'.

She's eating while she's talking, though. ]

[Her eyes grow wide and she blinks, before casting a glance behind her. Ah-- does she mean--]

Do you mean me?

Who else would I be talking to, the wall?

[She's being sarcastic. For the most part, anyway.]

Of course I'm talking to you!

[... Well she was just asking.]

Can I help you with something?

Maybe.

[Actually, that's not the right word. Let her change that.] Actually, that depends. I'm looking for an idiot in a uniform. A green uniform.

And any dead non-humans.

S-Such a question all of a sudden...

[Weak laugh. She's not transparent is she!?]

Moving onto something a little easier to answer...Erm, does your friend have a name?

He goes by Kyon.

[ And no, Yuuki, she hasn't seen through you. She's just doing what she's been wanting to do all this time. ]

AH-!

[Her eyes widen.]

That funny named kid. A Kyon-san was here not all that long ago. [She hadn't expected to be of any use, so she's pretty surprised]

He was pretty confused.

... Confused? Confused how?
