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.

This isn't the time to be worrying about writing about your feelings--

[ Oh wait. ]

What's your name?

[observesthings]

I won't. I won't be writing in it at all... it actually writes itself.

[ He won't go into much more detail than that, because if he ever makes one here... it will be inextricably tied to his life. Even if he can't die a second time. But still, as Yuri pointed out, there's worse things than dying here. ]

Yukiteru.

[strawberrytart]

Like a magical diary? I think I read a book where that happened once, they had to stab it with a tooth because it was evil.

[ Ichigo offers him a smile, a little nervous. ]

I'm Ichigo Amano. Sorry we're meeting like this.

[observesthings]

Well, if you stabbed mine, I'd die. [ Well... not here. Right? He didn't know, but it likely wouldn't be good. ] Amano? [ He would have laughed, under different circumstances. ]

Amano Yukiteru. [ Same last name. ]

[strawberrytart]

Is that.. how you got here?

[ . . . Ichigo's situationally inappropriate smile go! ]

Maybe we're really distant cousins!

[observesthings]

I... actually don't know how I got here.

[ Though that's certainly possible. He still had his Future Diary in the Third World, but... not here. ]

Um... I don't think so. [ 'Amano' is a pretty common surname in Japan. ] But I guess it's possible?

[strawberrytart]

[ Ichigo's not the brightest crayon in the box sometimes. She's also never met anyone else named Ichigo somehow. ]

Don't worry, I don't even know if we're from the same time! I probably would've met you if we were.

[observesthings]

I guess that's true...

[strawberrytart]

What if you're my great grandpa!?

[ Okay, she's joking now. Trying to lighten the mood and all that.. ]

[observesthings]

I-I doubt that! [ Internally flailing! ] I-I mean... do you have a relative named Yuno?

[strawberrytart]

Not that I know of. I've got Shigeru, Natsume, Kyouko, Hikaru, and Michiko plus a couple of cousins, but I don't think any of them are named Yuno.

[observesthings]

[ This is a very welcome distraction. Those shadows should be moving on fairly soon... ]

Well... Yuno is my girlfriend.

[strawberrytart]

I don't have any way to figure out what my great grandparents names are so it's better not to worry about it! [ She laughs a little. ]
