I am a shadow, the true self

[afterlifer]

WHO: EVERYONE
WHAT: Interactions
WHEN: April 24 - 28
WHERE: Anywhere and everywhere in this afterlife
WARNINGS: Cussing and there may be some fighting
SUMMARY: INTERACTION LOG you know the drill. Event stuff in here too.

24th: HEY BATTER BATTER BATTER SWING BATTER KENNEDY KENNEDY. That's right it's time for the baseball club to start up try outs! Some posters have been put up around the school about it. Go be a Little Buster.

25th: FIRE FIRE. Except not. But the sprinkler system seems to think there is one! So in all of the buildings around campus and even in the town, the sprinklers up on the ceilings are going off. Have fun getting wet.

26th: As you go about your day today, wherever you may be, school, club meeting, dorm rooms, everything appears to be as normal as it can be. Suddenly, a group of NPCs close by scream and panic as one of them turns into a black shadowy mass... and it looks at you. Welp.

27th: There aren't many, but every now and then you may spot a shadow or two walking about campus, consuming students or disappearing into the shadows. Maybe you saw them yesterday maybe you didn't. But either way, watch your back... they like to creep out of your own shadows if you aren't careful.

28th: Try to go out that door--locked. Another? Locked. All buildings on campus and in town will randomly lock their doors so you just might end up trapped in a room! With a few shadows coming out of the shadows to join you of course.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: The Shadow Days event is starting up on the 26th and will go until May 10th! All details about it are over on this post so please read it if you haven't already. If you have any questions go ahead and ask over there too.

Also always, remember there are basketball, kendo and drama clubs now so practices can be set up whenever you want! And if you want to do something outside of what we've provided, feel free to do so.

DURING THE WEEK

[afterlifer]

[Doing any of those things up there? Start them threads here! Please be sure to add the date in the subject line!]

27th-28th

[extraordinarily]

OPTION A:

[ If you see Haruhi any time in the afternoon of the 28th or later, you'll see a blank look in her eyes, almost as if she's soulless. Of course, she'll still try to be as "emotional" as possible, but she's not going to act like she was before.

After all, she has to be the perfect student.

If you're seen doing some wrongdoings of the sort, she'll immediately walk to you, frown, and say in a disappointed voice: ]

You should go back to class. Or else I'll tell the teacher on you.

OPTION B:

[ Haruhi's attending her classes, which isn't the norm for her. But if she catches you doing certain activities that aren't normal, she'll get slightly huffy and whisper: ]

Pay attention.

[ Okay, she's... probably not the "perfect student", but hey, she tried. ]

OPTION C:

[ After classes, Haruhi can be found in the music room. She's jamming out to a song without a care in the world, and even though she's an NPC, she still can sing. Though it might get annoying if you're in the clubroom and you hear the song replay over and over and over, like a broken record. ]

(OOC: Lyrics for the song are here!)

[observesthings]

[ Yukiteru jerks awake from his daydream. He glances at Haruhi first, and then down at his paper he was supposed to be writing notes on. There's nothing there. But tucked in the back of his notebook is that same card Yuno gave to him for Valentine's Day. He sighs, frowns, and closes his eyes for a moment. ]

... right.

[ Normally, he'd make a remark about Haruhi being the last person who should ever tell someone else to pay attention in class, but he won't. Because, really, she's one of the few people here he considers a friend, and she's apparently not in a good mood today. ]

Sorry.

[extraordinarily]

Don't apologize to me.

[ She'll fold her arms over her chest as she rolls her eyes, continuing to take notes even as she talks, pretty much paying attention to the teacher. This is how she's always worked, after all. ]

If anything, you should apologize to the teacher for not paying attention. Sheesh.

[observesthings]

[ Jeez, what's her problem today? He frowns again, and turns back to the teacher. But of course, his mind starts wandering again. His birthday is in a week; May 3rd. Yuno wouldn't be here for it... barring the ten thousand years he spent apart from her, it would have been close to their one year anniversary.

This world was cruel. And of course... he was daydreaming AGAIN. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[And so, Kyon is napping sitting up on a bench, as he is prone to do in the afterlife.]

A

[extraordinarily]

[ And as she passes by him, she pokes him the face, attempting to wake him up. ]

It's almost time for class, you know. Wake up.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Hm...? Suzumiya?

C

[strawberrytart]

[ Ichigo was going to clap when the song finished, but Haruhi just started over again and that worried her. Concern on her face, Ichigo moved closer and put a hand on Haruhi's shoulder to try to get her to stop. ]

Re: C

[extraordinarily]

[ And Haruhi does stop, blinking twice before coughing, grinning and turning her head around to see who it is. ]

Oh! Hi, Ichigo-chan. I didn't know you were here. I thought you had club to go to or something.

Re: C

[strawberrytart]

[ OH OKAY GOOD SHE'S NOT BROKEN that's cool.

Ichigo's not too bright. ]

No! Are you practicing for something?

27th

[outreach]

[ a scene you might happen to stumble upon is Souji here rushing on by, though he isn't alone- he's with a NPC, and a sword in hand. there's no need to question what was going on, seeing that the shadow creatures that have been appearing happens to have them locked on sight. the teen has always been in similar situations that he moves easily and controlled while he dodges any attacks thrown at them.

however, once he catches sight of anyone around him, preferably someone who isn't an NPC. someone he knows, someone he doesn't, ( it could just be you), he pushes the NPC towards them with a rushed and firm command. ] Get them out of here, now!

[ and before the shadow can follow after, Souji puts himself in the way upon the path and swings his sword at it.

you have a choice; you can do what he asks, or try to help, but either way there's only one way this will end. ]

[theheroguy]

Haaaaa!!

[With a kiai, a bright ball of energy will shoot down from above to blast one of the shadows.]

[outreach]

[ --!!

well, that certainly surprised him. Souji watches quite in awe, he's never seen something like that before.. So when it looks like the coast is clear, he turns to the arriving support. ] Thanks.

[theheroguy]

[And Goku'll float down gently landing on the ground next to Souji.]

Ain't no biggie! Been a while since I seen anythin' like this though...

25th

[tsunball]

[ After the whole sprinkler disaster, Leon can be found outside. Or, well, anywhere outside of the reach of the sprinklers.. but he's completely sulking. He's squatting on the ground, looking into a small pond at his reflection and making slight whiny sounds to himself.

Why? It's since he's completely soaked. His cool punk rock clothes, they're all wet!! And even worse, the water took all the gel right out of his hair, so it's hanging down pitifully.. man, he looks so uncool right now, why does this happen to him?! ]

This is so unfair..!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

And here I thought I'd had enough time being wet to last me a while after that whole sports festival swimming fiasco...

[tsunball]

[ WAIT, ANOTHER PERSON?! At least give him time to cover up his hair, man, so not cool. He throws his hands over it as if that will make it look less bad. ]

D-don't come near me!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Eh?

(What's the problem now?)

[strawberrytart]

What happened?!

[ Says the girl who somehow totally missed it because she was out trying to find herbs in the forest this morning. Everything's soaking wet, this really isn't going to be good for drying out herbs.. ]

[tsunball]

[ ......

Ichigo, how are you this lucky.. and why are you seeing him in this uncool state.. that earns double the panic! ]

A.. Amano! More like what are you doing here?!

26th

[theheroguy]

[Goku'll notice the odd transformation of the student as it happens.]

... The hecks that? Ain't seen that happen b'fore...

27th

[observesthings]

[ Funny thing about him; he's so used to the feeling of someone following him, staring at him, or otherwise stalking him that he barely notices it when it happens anymore. What one might see as a shadowy mass, to him, seems all to ordinary to him. Maybe he's just oblivious or in a daydream, but as he feels one staring at him as he's particularly lucid...

... it dawns on him that the person who used to do this to him all the time, to the point it's not only normal to him, he outright expects it, isn't here anymore. ]

Umm...?

[ He asks, looking in the direction of the shadowy mass. It slinks away as quickly as it appeared. Yukki continues staring what it was, blinking occasionally. ]

[strawberrytart]

[ If he doesn't stop staring like a dope, Ichigo is going to panickedly run right into him. ]

[observesthings]

[ He's Yukki, of course he won't notice. ]

... Ow.

[ He's totally bowled over. Sitting up after being knocked to the ground, he rubs his head, looking up. He half expects to see Yuno, since nine times out of ten, it's usually her that pounces on him when he least expects it, Diary or no Diary. ]

What was that for!?
