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.

[ Leon you are more confusing than anyone. ]

What did I do!?

[ She looks shocked and confused. ]

[tsunball]

You came close to me and saw..! Now I'm uncool, so totally uncool! My image is ruined!

[ If he whines any more, he might start crying. In fact, his whiny tone already sounds like borderline-sobbing.. ]

[strawberrytart]

[ Ichigo's idea of cool and her ability to be nice to everyone unless they're an ass to her first means one thing: ]

You're still cool, Kuwata-senpai! Even though you look a little down right now, you're definitely my senpai that I look up to!

[ Even though she doesn't know why she's cheering up a guy whining in a corner, her heart gets all sad when she sees people like that. I-Is it time to hug it out maybe? Ichigo reaches over to try to pull him into one because that'll definitely comfort him okay. ]

[tsunball]

[ ...

A.. ah..? He doesn't even realise at first what's wrong, all he knows is that this girl is here hugging him suddenly.. and say that he's cool, and that she looks up to him.. now he gets it! Even if this is supposed to have been the afterlife all along, it's only now that he's reaching heaven, isn't it?! He could cry..!! ]

A.. Amano.. you really mean it..? [ He slowly stops covering up his hair, at least.. ]

[strawberrytart]

[ Leon you are truly a loser and it's truly a miracle that Ichigo doesn't realize it. ]

I really mean it! [ She smiles brightly and cheerfully at him. ]

Come on, I'll bake you something!

[ Food solves all of the problems. ]

[tsunball]

.. Amano.. you're the best, seriously the best! [ Even if he also thinks she's nuts, but he completely overlooks that at moments like these.. he's too far gone in a world of bliss where girls accept him regardless of his haircut. ]

Any guy would be glad to have you as their wife!

[strawberrytart]

W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-WIFE!?

[ You know that moment in anime when a character comically backs up by sliding away?

Yeah. I mean it's only like two feet but it's happening. ]

[tsunball]

[ ...

Ah.. senpai stopped being noticed... ]

Yo, Amano, I was just complimenting you..

[strawberrytart]

I'm not ready to get married, Kuwata-senpai!

[ Sorry, Leon.. ]

[tsunball]

W.. what-- no, I didn't mean it like that! [ Sure, he wants to hit on girls. Sure, he wants to date girls. BUT IT ISN'T LIKE HE'S READY FOR MARRIAGE EITHER?! ]

I was just saying, it wasn't a proposal! Shit..!

[strawberrytart]

I've already got a--!

[ Well... Ichigo's face falls a little. ]

I guess I don't, since I won't see him anymore.

[ A little, nervous laugh.. She keeps trying not to think about this. ]

You're definitely not proposing at least! Good!

[tsunball]

[ ... Wait a moment, he wasn't aware of this. He freezes up. This is the sound of his heart shattering into tiny pieces.. ]

You already have a.. b.. boyfriend, you mean?! No waaay, why didn't you tell me earlier, Amano!

[strawberrytart]

W-Well I died, so I won't see him again... so I don't anymore.

[ She doesn't really get why it was important to tell him though. Except that he's probably pulling the same thing as Johnny and Rick... And Hanabusa and Andou, but she doesn't know that and Andou found someone else okay!!

...It would probably help Leon to know that her apparent type is tsundere-types if we go by her actual boyfriend, but she's not going to mention that. ]

[tsunball]

[ Don't even tell him, he'll try to tsun on purpose. Which is even worse than him tsunning without realising. ]

Man, that somehow makes it feel wrong though.. d-dammit, why do I always get into these situations?! Can't there be a cute girl who's single?!

[strawberrytart]

You want to fall in love that badly?

[ She sounds honestly curious.

Like she will actually try to help him get a girlfriend if he answers right..

...Somehow involving sweets too at some point. ]

[tsunball]

Of course I do..! [ Even obliviousness can't win against this level of desperate, Ichigo. Really. He's not even bothering to not be obvious.. ]

What kind of guy wouldn't just want a cute and sweet girlfriend, huh?! Even just one date would be fine!

[strawberrytart]

Well, maybe I can help you at least...

[ Not by dating him, but she'll go ahead and try to get him a date. ]

[tsunball]

.. Y.. you can?! [ HE'S SO CONVINCED SHE MEANS AN ACTUAL DATE STOP LEADING GUYS ON, ICHIGO!! ]

[strawberrytart]

Yeah! Who do you want to date most of all?

[ SHE'S NOT, HE'S MAKING UP HIS OWN INTERPRETATION OF THE FACTS!! ]

[tsunball]

Uh.. I guess I don't really care.. [ There's some he prefers above others, but that's more just in the sense of "this one doesn't yell at me nearly as much".. ]

Why, you got anyone in mind?

[ SAY YOURSELF SAY YOURSELF SAY YOURSELF.. ]

[strawberrytart]

Kuwata-senpai!

[ Ichigo leans in toward him, nearly 6 inches from his face, looking quite serious.]

You can't go into love half-heartedly with feelings like "It's okay as long as it's someone" or you won't be able to get anyone!

[tsunball]

[ O.. oh, man, she's so close..! She's going to kiss him, isn't she, she totally is, here it comes, the best moment of his lif--

.. why isn't she kissing him and instead scolding him......... ]

Bwuh..? [ Because of his confusion at the lack of kiss the only thing he can do is make a dumb sound that sounds a little like a confused chicken. ]

[strawberrytart]

You have to have someone important to fall in love with, Kuwata-senpai! Every single person is different and unique. What makes one person happy, might not make other people happy. That's why if I make someone a creme caramel, I try to find out if they drink their coffee black or if they're the kind of person with a sweet tooth all the time first-- if you cook the caramel for too long, it gets more and more bitter. The person who likes their coffee black might like it, but the person who only eats sweets wouldn't be able to stand eating it.

[ Ichigo smiles, leaning back a little bit. ]

That's what trying to capture someone's heart is like! If you don't know what sorts of things they like and what sort of person they are, you're just going to have a generic taste that doesn't wow anyone. So you can't go into love half-heartedly thinking it's okay if it's just anyone!

[tsunball]

[ ...

Shit, he's fairly sure he missed half of that.. okay, okay, just get an excuse to olly out for now, Leon.. ]

Uh.. Amano, I'm gonna go outside for a moment. I need some fresh air, you know, stuff like that! I'll see you later! [ HEADING FOR THE DOOR LIKE MAD IT'S HIS ONLY HOPE. ]

[strawberrytart]

[ Wow Leon, Ichigo was just about to tell you how to actually succeed at getting a woman.

Alas, he just leaves Ichigo looking perplexed. She waves though? Really really confusedly... ]
