afterlogs | 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.

I think we'll put you in the outfield... Just don't be afraid of the ball okay?

O-out...field?

[ Wait a sec is he gonna play baseball... he didn't sign up for this!

Then again, if he says no now, the girl will be angry for sure! He doesn't want to make anyone angry... people are scary when they're angry! ]

We'll put you way in the back so it's less likely to go all the way out there, okay?

...

...

Okay...

[ It won't be too bad, right? Right...? At least he doesn't get to throw or receive balls... ]

Okay. I'm still working on a team so we don't have to start just yet, but this puts us at me, you, Haine, Leon, and Kyon. Only two more to meet the minimum!

[ Leon...? He's in a team with him?

...

That can only mean one thing, and that one thing reassures him plenty. ]

So... what should I do now?

Well, we still need at least two other members so do you want to help recruit?

[ A little gulp. ] I-I'm not good at advertising...

Okay, give me a brief of your skill set so I can get you doing something appropriate.

...

I'm good with computers...?

[ He wants to shrink right now. ]

What about graphics? You could make us one of those giant flags for our team! I'm sure there's a screen-printing place around that we can get it printed with.

... That, I could do. I am good with graphics as well.

[ He's not confident he can find the words to advertise, but still... ]

Great! Our mascot is a fire-breathing pirate ninja dragon, so good luck. Do you know where the computer lab is?

[ ... What. ]

Pirate ninja... dragon? Is there a picture I could base it on?

And no, I don't know where it is, sorry.

Just do one of those Chinese dragons and give it a ninja sword and a pirate hat. Come on, I'll show you!

[ It shouldn't be a problem to just shop that. ]

Alright then, I will follow you... miss. [ What's her name again, HE'S AFRAID TO ASK. ]

Don't call me "miss"! You don't have to be polite, it's not like there's a reason to be. It's just Yuri. [ Good thing she just likes to be called by her first name. ] I'd say you could call me by a nickname, but I don't think you're the nickname type.

I- I didn't know, sorry! [ That shouldn't make anyone start crying, but it's Chihiro we're talking about. ] No, uhm... Yuri-san is alright...

Say just Yuri or we're going to practice with "Yurippe"!

[ Poor Chihiro. Yuri doesn't have any concept of stopping. ]

[ God he wants to run away now. Shaking and crying. ]

But...

I'm not going to bite you, relax. Even if I did, you'd be fine.

[ HOW WOULD HE BE FINE- he doesn't... understand... but he doesn't dare to ask either. ]

Uu...

So? Say it!

... uuu... uuuu...

[ He doesn't want to make this girl angry, so- so! He's got to say her name right, yes? Come on it's not hard, if she asked it then you should say it! Come on it's not hard, Chihiro! You can totally do it! Say it say it say it-- ]

[ NOPE he can't say it. Under pressure, he does the only thing that he's capable to do other than computer programming: BURST CRYING LIKE NO TOMORROW. ]
