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.

I mean sure you want a doctor with a diploma but- eh. Whatever. We're not getting jobs here. It's irrelevant. [ slouches ] Not the world, huh? Hmph.

[tenminutes]

Well yeah, that's one of many reasons why it's stupid to go. [ Yuri nods. ] Work hard to become the kind of person who wouldn't make those kinds of mistakes.

[thneed]

I already tried that and it got me dead.

[tenminutes]

Obviously whatever you did to try was another mistake, so you'd better find a different way.

[thneed]

It-! Hhhhgh. [ drags hands down face ] You don't know what it was! Give me the key back. I'm going to go see where it goes.

[tenminutes]

Me too, let's go!

[thneed]

[ siiigh. Okay walking time! Time to get off the roof now. Tra la la. ]

[tenminutes]

I wonder what's down there. [ Lala walking too ]

[thneed]

Beats me. [ do do do he's going to pause at the end of the stairs 'cause he doesn't know how the hell to get out of here ]

[tenminutes]

[ Don't worry, Yuri will lead the way without him even asking! ]

Hurry up, I want to get there before I get gray hair!

[thneed]

I would've got us there! [ waving hands at her back. follow follow. ]

We can't even get gray hair. What's the rush?

[tenminutes]

Exactly. It's pretty funny right? [ It's a joke about being dead, Once-ler, get with the program. ]

[thneed]

Hysterical. I'm dying of laughter.

[tenminutes]

That's a good one, too.

[thneed]

Eh. The funniness of grim humor is short lived though.

[tenminutes]

You can never make too many dead person jokes.

[thneed]

I live to tell them.

[tenminutes]

[ Slow clapping. ]

[thneed]

[ gives a little bow ]

[tenminutes]

You're killing me, Once-ler.

[thneed]

Going to die of laughter?

[tenminutes]

Okay, it's not funny anymore.

[thneed]

[ immediately goes silent and looks off. ]

[tenminutes]

Wait 5 minutes, then try again. Dead person joke anti-flooding rules.

[thneed]

Didn't know there were rules.
