SPORTS FESTIVAL

[afterlifer]

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: Just what it says on the tin -- sports festival!
WHEN: April 8th - 10th
WHERE: All around campus! Particularly in the gym, sports/soccer/archery fields, tennis courts, and pool. The school's map is over here for reference.
WARNINGS: Unless the games are getting competitive, there probably won't be much violence...! I mean, it's not like we're playing rugby...
SUMMARY: Sports festival! Details here!

Remember those sports festival sign ups last month? Well, the days for said festival have finally arrived! All around campus (obviously in the sports-related areas), various competitions for various sports are going to be held. Track dashes, marathons, baseball, soccer, basketball, tennis, archery, swimming, kendo... you name it! Each event will be held at different times, with breaks in between to allow for any spectators -- whether they're game characters or NPCs -- to go watch 'em all. It also allows for characters wanting to participate in more than one event to do so.

There are also numerous decorated food stands around the event areas with light snacks and beverages for players and watchers. If people want to make signs to support their favorite teams, they can even do that at certain tables with sturdy sheets of paper, paints, and markers!

Finally, at the end of each day, there will be a fireworks display, with the largest one being on the final day (the 10th). On that last day, winners and MVPs for the competitions will also be announced! And each of those winners will be receiving a prize! Players on each winning team will all receive extra meal tickets. As for the MVPs, they will get a gaming system! A Gameboy in particular. Pretty neat, huh?

On the note of winners, we will be having polls for MVPs (most valuable players)! That will come toward the end of the festival, though. For now, anyone having their characters participate in sports events as players should drop a comment/fill out the form over here! That's also where any questions regarding this event can go.

Also, as a side note, the events under each day are listed in chronological order (morning, afternoon, late afternoon).

[For Yosuke, the first day is pretty much spent spectating and cheering on his friends, but that doesn't make the fireworks at the end of the day any less awesome. It's a chance to relax that's a lot more exciting than the usual lazing around campus (at least when the NPCs aren't harassing them), so this is totally welcome. He's mostly just chilling, probably snacking on things while watching the display, and occasionally harassing people, whether he knows them or not. Sports festivals are supposed to be fun and everybody is dead, so he'll do his best to make sure his fellow barnacles afterlifers are having fun, too!]

[Well you can't harass people who are going to harass you first, you know! Hence Celica running on up to him from behind and suddenly covering his eyes.

fufufu]

[junesprince]

[This is okay, too! Although it's not something he expects at all. He jumps a little, surprised, but he's smiling nonetheless when he speaks.]

Do I only get one guess?

[suckswithmaps]

[wahahah. Being sure to keep his eyes covered, she responds and nods. Though he can't see the nod. But still whatever!]

Yep~!

[junesprince]

[The voice is too girly and too excited to belong to one of his other friends, so it's not too hard to figure out who it might be.]

Celica-chan, right? It has to be.

[suckswithmaps]

[Oh. gosh! She was hoping it'd be at least a little hard! She pulls her hands back and pouts.]

Eeeh... How'd you figure it out so easily?

[junesprince]

[At that, he turns to look at her, a smirk on his face.]

Because you're the only one I know here who'd do something like that. My other friends are usually on the quieter side.

[suckswithmaps]

[Oh booo... lame...!]

Ahh... Well, in that case, I guess I'll have to disguise my voice next time, huh?! [...though there's still the fact that she's apparently the only one who'd do something like that. But alas!]

[junesprince]

Yeah, there's always next time. But I'll be expecting it now, so you'll have to try even harder.

[He'd probably still know it was her, unless he met someone else really excitable around here... but that's okay! Because she's cute, how could he ever not be okay with it—]

[suckswithmaps]

[Suddenly all the excitable girls die and come here...]

Hmm... In that case I'll make sure to come up with something entirely different to do. So watch out, Yosuke! [she's gon' getchu]

[extraordinarily]

[ And it's time to mess around. Since apparently harassing other people is what Haruhi's good at. Here, Yosuke, have a pretty damn large can on your head. ]

[junesprince]

[Whoa, wait, why the heck does his head feel heavy all of a sudden—

Yosuke flails a little, immediately reaching up to try and take whatever's weighing him down.]

Hey, what's the deal?

[extraordinarily]

I'm bored, and you looked like an easy target.

[junesprince]

Wha— An easy target?! That's not fair!

[Man, "bored" he could understand, but this?!]

[extraordinarily]

You know the saying: "everything's fair in love and war"? Well, I just took the "love" part out of it!
