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.

Get your fresh okonomiyaki and hot tea served to you by maids delicious enough to match!

That's right, walk through the horrors of two classrooms combined, decorated, and 'haunted' with the very students who used to attend it! Scary costumes, screaming, darkness, and many many props (and possibly real blood if someone goes overboard) make for a frightfully good time!

The tragic and almost clichely performed during school festivals play by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, as acted by various NPCs (unless your character somehow gets pulled into it. Oops.) Brought to you by the Drama Club.

Hear the beautiful sounds of the school choir to the soothing instruments of the school orchestra! Scheduled about 30 minutes after the play. Brought to you by the Music Club.

Sign up for the three-legged race competition with a partner! First place winner gets a free laptop. (Without having to steal it.) Brought to you by the track team.

SAAAAFE! That's right, enter the baseball competition! Teams come together to battle each other in a great sport of bats, balls, and caps. Brought to you by the baseball team (who incidentally are acting as refs, to avoid forcing everyone to lose). Don't want to play? You can still watch! Don't have a team? You can probably just ask one of the NPC teams and they'll let you join, or form your own!

Brought to you by the Home Economics class. Do you think you have what it takes to be a champion? Prove yourself by eating more bowls of ramen in one sitting than any other competitor! Scheduled at noon!

There are various booths with games throughout the festival. Scooping up goldfish, shooting corks at stuffed animals to win them, tossing hoops-- you know, the usual carnival stuff. Have fun and be creative! If you want your character to play a game that isn't one of the ones listed, feel free to as long as it fits the mood. If you're not sure, feel free to comment to ask about it on this post.

After dark, a huge bonfire is going to be lit in the middle of one of the sports fields. There'll be music, dancing, and marshmallows as the night winds down.

[Kyon'll sit and have a sip of tea as he thinks to himself... There was something soothing and somewhat familiar about being served by maids.]

(School festival, huh? ... Was there supposed to be a school festival today? ... Oddly enough, my memory feels a little fuzzy on this.)

[The sound of screaming attracts Eridan to this room. He's been wandering around in utter confusion, hiding from any passing students, trying to find his friends, his clothes, or...anything familiar. The last thing he remembers is being killed, but now he seems to be on Earth.

A dark room seems like a good place to go, and with all the screaming, maybe something terrible is happening there. Where there's screaming, there could be trolls. Or at least answers.

So he slips through the door. He hasn't gone more than two steps before someone jumps towards him wearing a cape and a fake pair of fangs and yells:]

I vant to suck your blooood!

[An instant later, Eridan has the poor kid by the throat and up against a wall, snarling into the screaming teenager's face]

[Voices. Screaming. His eyes snap open.]

[In an abrupt motion he sits up and reaches to draw his sword. A sword that isn't there. Not even a sword belt! Not even the sheath!! It's during this confused moment that God-General Asch the Bloody learns that not only is his weapon missing, but so is everything else, including his Maestro Robe. Instead he's left wearing what he can only assume to be civilian clothing.]

[Has he just been played for a fool?]

[Was he wrong to hire out the Dark Wings? Was the tip about Van just a ploy so they could return in force to strip him of everything and then go gallivanting around Baticul disguised as an Oracle Knight? No, none of that felt right. And where--...]

[It's been a tough day and Eridan's just glad that there's darkness. He sits just outside of the circle of firelight, a stick in his hand and a bag of marshmallows in the other. He doesn't...exactly know what he's supposed to do with these, so he's subtly trying to watch other people and figure out what to do]

[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...

Over here, Catsup! [Kyousuke, waving his hand for indication, stood over by the Haunted House, which was already screaming with horror sounds and terrifying music playing from the outside.

Ready?]

[Otonashi's just standing around, staring as the track team starts setting up for the event. Um. What just happened. He was buying a soda one second, and the next second he's standing here, in the middle of a sudden school festival, no less. The afterlife has always been pretty weird, but... this? Seems weird.]

What the... What the hell just happened..?!

[An eating competition, is it? FUFUFUUU. Well a free meal is a free meal. There's no way she'll let this go to waste. Although did she remember anyone mentioning a school festival before...?

...

AH WHO CARES. Free food. Besides it sounds like fun!]

ALRIGHT-! If it's free food, then there's no way that I'll lose. Challenge me at your own risk!! Don't cry to me when you go home puking your guts out!

[Of course, when Kyousuke heard of the baseball competition, he couldn't just sit there. This one event stood out over the rest of the festival. While he had the will, he didn't have the team. He may have had Riki, but that wasn't enough to form a whole team.]

...Riki!

[ Cat... sup? What's with that nickname? Where is she anyways? Why is everything hard and not made out of wood and why is there a guy that reminds her of Monkey taking her into a place that sounds like a slaughterhouse? She's not ready for this at all!! Abort mission!! ]

W-What's in there!? I-I must go and find Nobuna, I can't waste time g-going into weird places!!

... A competition, huh? I'd much rather my meals be somewhat more leisurely.

Relax, it'll be fine, it's a festival! Enjoy it while it lasts! These things only rarely come you know.

[A small yelp could be heard.]

Sounds like someone was a true soldier. I commend their bravery.

[Luke's not sure how he got here, his head's a little fuzzy. Anyway, he's been shuffled in front of a piping hot bowl of soup, and like hell he's about to turn it down. Especially when there's competition involved.]

Oh yeah? [Luke's not that tall, but he still smirks down at Yui.] What kind of girl are you? No way you're packing in more than me.

[In other words, she is so on.]

[ It's not really so much of a matter as to how he got here, but just what exactly the hell is he wearing? His face scrunches in disapprovement, pulling at his shirt ensemble and tugging at his pants. He aimlessly wanders about inside the haunted house, ducking under the fake-looking ghosts and mummy sheets hanging about.

Oh well. Can't beat 'em? Join 'em.

He'll take his stance just before the last door out, crouching behind a desk or two. Making your way to the exit? Well, let's just see if you can get past some kid with a douche-y pair of shades jumping out at you in a totally lazy attempt at being scary. ]

[Riki's just been pretty amazed at how lightly Kyousuke has been taking this all. I mean, this... isn't their school. Where even are they? How can you be going on like this is nothing, Kyousuke...! ...Then again, this is Kyousuke. So maybe that's not surprising at all.

Hearing his name being called, Riki looks over in Kyousuke's direction.] Huh? ..Y-yeah?
