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.

[ ... thinking about Mondo..

ah, hm, Yuri lacks the corn hair. ]

How else would you have learned how to fight like that? [ apparently Leon doesn't bother getting up, still lying there. ] Are you saying you were in the army instead? Some sort of soldier?

[loserthug]

Guess you could say that. [ Yuri sighed and laid back down. ]

...I was a knight.

[tsunball]

Woah, a knight?! [ At that he actually seems a little startled, his head turning so fast in his spot that he's almost flailing as he shouts it (thanks for telling the whole school with your volume, Leon).. ]

Like the kind that wears armor and rides around on horses and all that shit?! No way!

[loserthug]

[ Jeez, what was he so surprised for?! ]

Yeah armor, horses, all that. It's not something special though, what the hell?

[tsunball]

Of course it's special! There haven't been any knights in.. [ for a moment it's like he's almost actually thinking, but then he just.. gives up.. ]

.. In a really fucking long time! That's back in medieval times!

[loserthug]

...[ ...But he just died. ]

...What do you mean, medieval times? [ Yuri's face contorted into a half confused, half scowling look. ] What are you talking about...? We just...we're here at the same time. We both just died, right?

[tsunball]

I.. I'm sure I just died! [ Leon is freaking out about it too, pretty much, since.. well, he has no idea what this even can mean. This guy is a knight, but.. how..? ]

.. Wait, I got it! [ for once his lightbulb seems to turn on.. ] You're probably from some weird country where there's still knights! Where are you from? [ he'll question how they can speak with each other then later.. ]

[loserthug]

[ Hmm...he wasn't really from a country...but, hey, a city would do. ]

Zaphias. It's the capital of the empire, anyway.

[tsunball]

....

What the hell? Is that somewhere in Africa?

[loserthug]

... [ ...It didn't ring a bell. But...it was the capital city. Everyone knew about it. ]

...Could say the same to you. The hell's Africa? [ Great. Not only were they dead, but seemed like where they came from was even more complicated than that. ]

[tsunball]

[ The.. hell's.. Africa? Surely everyone has heard about Africa, right? Even Mondo was probably dumb enough to know about that.. (DON'T THINK THAT WHEN YOU'RE ONE OF THE WORST IDIOTS, LEON.) ]

Man, don't you even know-- it's one of the continents, isn't it?! Like Asia and America!

[loserthug]

[ More names that sounded made-up... ]

Try Tolbyccia... [ Though now it was obvious, they were getting now where. Yuri leaned back on the ground, closing his eyes. ]

...You don't think we're from...different planets, do you?

[tsunball]

[ Tolby-- what, did this guy just sneeze or something? But his suggestion was even more ridiculous, there was no way he could accept it. So he quickly shakes his head instead. ]

No way! Aliens don't exist, right?!

[loserthug]

They don't...I think. [ But none of their information was matching up. This is more than a case of time. If it was just time, he would have at least heard of Tolbyccia or Zaphias... ]

...This place doesn't make any sense. [ He hated it already. ]

[tsunball]

You tell me it.

[ He rubbed his forehead as if he was trying to stop some incoming headache before just fully dropping back on the grass, letting out a deep sigh. ]

Guess we just shouldn't think about this shit too much, maybe ask someone smarter.. [ darnit, why was the smarter half of his class not here now it was actually needed instead of only using their brains to out him.. ]

... What's your name, by the way? Or should I just call you that one gang knight?

[loserthug]

Jeez, nothing like that. [ He shook his head. ] I'm Yuri Lowell. Baserball man or whatever?

[tsunball]

It's baseball, baseball! [ .. wait, he just got too worked up about that-- come on, Leon, you got to keep up your cool image, pretend you have nothing to do with it. ]

And my name's Leon, Leon Kuwata.

[loserthug]

Leon huh...I think I knew a guy named Leon back in the knights. Well, whatever. [ Yuri turned to face him. ]

So...what is baseball, anyway?

[tsunball]

[ This definitely is not the Leon you're thinking of, Yuri.. He's not knight-like in any way. At all. ]

Ugh, why the hell does nobody know about baseball here-- it's a sport! You know, someone throws a ball and then you hit it and.. shit, it's too difficult to just explain, it's something you have to do!

[loserthug]

Sorry, our sports were kinda different. [ They consisted of fighting. ] We never really threw a ball around with specific rules...

[ Though he had to admit, he was kinda interested. This was something new after all. Not in his world. ] So you love baseball?

[tsunball]

[ ....

The most dangerous question anyone could ask Leon Kuwata. Aka it's time for super specific obvious denial. ]

.. Why would I like it?! I just play it back home, but that doesn't mean I give a shit about it..!

[loserthug]

[ The hell is up with that reaction? All he did was ask if he liked baseball. ]

Seems like it's pretty important for something you don't give a shit about...

[tsunball]

H.. how does it seem important?! [ Maybe from the way you're throwing a fit over it now, Leon.. ]

It's just a fucking sport! No way something like that could ever be important, I mean.. i.. it's lame, just lame!!

[loserthug]

[ ...Jeez, what was this guy's deal? ]

So it's okay if I call it baserball, right?

[tsunball]

Call it whatever the hell you want, I'm not going to give a shit!

[ says the guy whose face is just immensely red by now from being this worked up. ]
