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.

[marumayu]

Not interested.

[ She doesn't know what it is, but she doesn't want to talk to this guy, period! ]

Didn't your mother tell you not to talk to strangers?

[sleepybuster]

[...W-what...]

W-well, yeah... [His mother is also dead but --] We're in a school though, so...

[marumayu]

Well, I didn't enroll in this school.

But I'll let you run your mouth just this once. What do you want? [ pitch it to her, riki ]

[sleepybuster]

[...Oh. Wait wait waaait. What was that first part...]

I was wondering if you were interested in playing baseball, but... what do you mean by not having enrolled in this school?

[marumayu]

[ Baseball? It's something she can't help with, then. ] It means what it means. I was taken here against my own will.

[sleepybuster]

[Here's hoping Riki doesn't sound crazy for suggesting this.] Like... you just suddenly appeared here without knowing what's going on?

[marumayu]

[ Izumo takes a step back in surprise ] You're spot on! Wait, don't tell me... is that what happened to you, too?

[sleepybuster]

[A brief nod.] Yeah. It happened to both me and my friend Kyousuke. We just suddenly found ourselves here. I'm not even sure where we are right now. [Aside from the fact that it's clearly a school.]

[marumayu]

Weird. Is this a mass kidnapping, then? [ Her eyebrows furrow for a moment. ] Ah, don't mind me. I'm just trying to sort things out.

You're strangely well-adjusted for someone who just got here.

[sleepybuster]

If it is, then this is probably a really weird way to go about a kidnapping. [Dumping them into a school for a festival? Pretty unorthodox, Mr. Kidnapper...!]

But uhm... I wouldn't really say that I'm adjusted, haha... If anything, Kyousuke's the one who is.

[marumayu]

Kyousuke... huh. I don't know if it's a good thing that you have a friend with you here... Well, at least you're not alone.

[sleepybuster]

Yeah. I'm kind of thankful for that, though I feel a little bad that he ended up being caught up in whatever this is.

[a beat] Do you have any friends you know here?

[marumayu]

I do. But... I was hoping he wouldn't be here.

Anyway, he's stupidly strong, so why don't you ask him to be on your team instead?

[sleepybuster]

I could ask him too, but we could use anyone we could get, really. Plus it's fun. Are you interested at all?

[She can't be any worse than half of the girls already on the Little Busters team at home, so...]

[marumayu]

[ Honestly, she has better things to do, but it's not as if she can brush him aside.

Wait, she can do that. ]

You haven't introduced yourself at all, and you expect me to join? How rude. Anyway, I have other things to do.

[ Like get stuck in a forest trying to find her way out of here. ]

[sleepybuster]

O-oh, right... [How rude of him indeed! Ah...] It's Riki though. Riki Naoe.

If you're not interested though, that's fine. Sorry for bothering you.

[way to go]

[marumayu]

[ Oh shoot, he did introduce himself. Um. ]

Whatever. ...I'm Izumo Kamiki. Sorry to disappoint.

I'll watch, though.

[sleepybuster]

[Yep..] It's nice to meet you, Kamiki-san. That's fine though, don't worry about it.

Even watching would be great on its own. I'm sure Kyousuke would be happy with that.

[marumayu]

Kyousuke... right. I'll see you, then, Naoe-san.

[sleepybuster]

[A nod.] Yeah. I'll see you later then, Kamiki-san.
