SUMMARY: INTERACTION LOG you know the drill.

30th: With the start of the new student council election, it’s time for the school to get hustlin’ and bustlin’ again! In the lounge area of the halls, candidates are free to start hanging up posters on the bulletin board and there are even signups located in the student council room during break and after school. Feel free to look around, observe, or maybe talk about who you might vote for! Or maybe if you’re one of the ones running, go around to get your name out there!

1st: Today, the student council campaign continues and today, candidates are allowed to give a brief speech in their homeroom classes. Turn on those charisma skills, show your worth, maybe persuade a few minds in the process!

2nd: It’s that time of the year where all of the sports clubs are beginning to start up, so in honor of that, everyone’s getting a physical! Need to make sure everyone’s healthy and ready for any clubs they want to join. Everyone will be called in by class and year and will have to wait in line in the hall outside the nurse’s office. The cruel irony of this is that you’re already dead. So much for trying to stay healthy, right?

3rd: Ever heard of the lost city of Atlantis?  Well let's hope so since that's what you're going to be studying in geography today!  You'll be sent to the library to try and find maps and different books with theories on it.  Afterwards, you'll need to write a paper on what you think of it's existence.  So put on your Milo glasses and start your research!  It's too bad the library doesn't have the Disney movie, otherwise this might be easy.

4th: So as it turns out, the shadows are still on the prowl.  Pain in the asses they are, huh?   Well, if you're walking around near the convenience store today, better look out because suddenly you're going to be surrounded by a small group of shadows.  Are you with someone, alone maybe?  Better not get yourself trapped in a corner either way, it'd definitely suck to get turned into an NPC, again, if you were already fated with that once.  You'd have super bad luck if that was the case.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: The student council campaign started on the 28th and will end May 9th.  If anyone would still like to sign up for any student council positions, you can do so here on this post!  Sign ups will run all the way until the 7th and once the campaign ends, an IC poll will be put up on the 10th.

As always, remember there are several clubs now so practices and meetings 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.

WHAT: Dark Allies Finale
WHEN: March 22nd-24th
WHERE: Anywhere and everywhere in this afterlife
WARNINGS: Potential violence, loss of sense of self, fighting, cussing. If you have anything else let a mod know to add it!
SUMMARY: The Programmer and Fantoche have increased the number of shadows in order to pursue the NPC, Ai, who has been trying to hide but cannot continue to stand by and do nothing. Meanwhile, many of the afterlife's residents have been turned into NPCs.. is there a way to reason with them or get their memories back? There are 3 parts to this log!

MARCH 22: SHADOWS
Shadows are difficult to deal with, and you've just been surrounded. It seems like the number of shadows have raised up well beyond half of the NPC population. Team up, fight off the shadows, try to follow them to find the NPC first! Ai will be around throughout this log and will reveal her Guard Skill abilities in a comment here. Feel free to attempt to apprehend her.

MARCH 23: THE NORM
A few people have been turned into NPCs. The shadows seem not to bother them-- the shadows ignore them and those turned into NPCs don't even seem to see the shadows. They can see you, even if they can't remember. Try to talk some sense into them or take whatever measures you think are necessary? Try to keep them company or say goodbye because if Ai isn't turned in, there's no known way to turn them back?

MARCH 24: CAPTURED AI
Ai's identity has been revealed since the 22nd, but she's been avoiding capture up until now. Come up with a plan, decide what to do. It might be a good idea to have a meeting and talk to her. She's surprisingly cooperative. The OOC poll revealed that Ai will be kept away from Fantoche and the Programmer, so if any characters have the intent to do otherwise they will not be able to be the ones to find her. Of those who comment, on the 24th the mods will RNG one character to have successfully captured Ai and she will reply to that thread. Other characters or teams may jump in based on what you as the players have decided to do.

SUMMARY: INTERACTION LOG you know the drill.

5th: Kendo club is getting itself back into action by holding some practice after school! There will be one on one practice matches so get ready to pair up and whack each other with bamboo sticks. And today even non members are allowed to join in on beating each other up in case anyone's actually interested in joining. Don't get too many blisters now.

6th: Since the weather has been so nice lately, gym class is going to be outside today, and guess what you’re doing? High jumps! Gotta start preparing you for that physical exam that’s in the future. So maybe you’re about to go or you’re waiting in line and watching your classmates but once it’s your turn, just spread your arms and legs like the butterfly you are and soar of the bar. Fosbury flops and fish flops are totally acceptable maneuvers too.

7th: Ah yes, the season of love has made it's way to the afterlife once again and the NPCs are abuzz with excitement for it. So excited in fact that the choir has put together a little something to help spread said love. A song gram sign up! Is the love of your life here unlike the Programmers ? Well now's your chance to serenade them. Throughout they day they'll be advertising it but catch them in front of the music room and you can sign up to have a certain someone get a song sung to them in front of their class.

8th: Remember that little instrument you used to play when you were little? You know that plastic thing that looks like a small clarinet? Yeah, that, the recorder. Well, turns out that today there’s a test on playing it in music class. Let’s hope you've been practicing playing it in class and in your dorm room because you have to play it in front of the whole class. toot toot bitch

9th: Congratulations to all successful egg-parents!! It looks like you weren't some of the unfortunate few who killed your poor baby eggs and for that, it's time to be rewarded. On the 24th, all those who passed the egg child assignment were given a golden meal ticket to take to the restaurant in town tonight to receive a 4-course meal (appetizer, salad, entree and dessert). So enjoy! You deserved it.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Because of a new and certain anti-virus program installed into the system, there have been no glitches so, like the past while, this week will seem abnormally normal. Even the weather itself has been oddly normal and warm as well, especially for a cold month like February.

As always, remember there are several clubs now so practices and meetings 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.

SUMMARY: INTERACTION LOG you know the drill.

1st: HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!! Looks like most of you all have made it yet another year here in the afterlife. Like staying dead do you? Well, it is pretty nice here when the programmer isn’t trying to turn you into a NPC huh? But none of that weird and dangerous stuff today! No, today there’s fireworks abound to celebrate the start of a new year!! Bright and colorful explosions covering the entire sky and they’ll even be handing out sparklers.

And also in front of the main school building there will be a booth with a NPC dressed as a miko and there you can get your fortune! Draw a stick with a number and the NPC will hand you a slip of paper that matches that number and that’s your fortune! There’s good, bad, moderate good, eh who knows what you get. Let’s hope it’s better than what you had when you were alive am I right.

2nd: Everyone’s parents are still pretty terrible about coming to visit their kids at school, so as per usual, there are no cars in the parking lot. But hey! There is something much larger there. What is it? It’s a truck and it’s full of new clothes. Anyone who goes up to see will be greeted by a NPC and he will tell everyone that they’re allowed to take one outfit from the truck (meaning; one shirt, one pair of pants/skirt, socks, shoes, and one piece of accessory). Try to take any more than that and the clothes will suddenly be ripped out of your hands and fly back and stick to the truck because the tags on them are magnetized to it. So don’t be trying to be sneaky and sneak off with more than you’re supposed to!

3rd: We all wish we could hibernate like bears in the winter, especially when we wake up in the morning and just want to keep sleeping under our nice warm covers. But hibernating and sleeping in the middle of the day when you’re out and about? Ehhh maybe less preferable. Walking around the campus, getting something to eat in town or the cafeteria? Suddenly you’re overwhelmed with a feeling of drowsiness. And who knows, it might just be strong enough to make you fall asleep right in the middle of what you’re doing, maybe you’ll even fall asleep standing up! Turns out Riki Naoe’s narcolepsy was contagious.

4th: It’s always distressing how hard floor can always get so cold during the winter time, isn’t it? Wake up and put your feet on the ground only to be greeted by an icy feeling BRRR. Well today the hallway floors are even extra icy today, literally. Step outside and you’ll go slipping and sliding and possibly even falling on your ass on a layer of ice if you’re not too careful.

5th: Hot food is always the best in winter, it’s a given fact! Some nice warm soup or some hot cocoa to warm you right up in the midst of the bitter weather. Today though you might find that that food is a little too hot, in fact it’s not just hot, it’s SPICY. Like someone put a wad of wasabi in it spicy. And it’s not just soup, it’s all of the food in the cafeteria! Chocolates, sandwiches, soups, pastas, everything! Better hope you find enough water to help that poor throat of yours.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: As for the fortunes given out on the first, players will be allowed to make up their characters own fortunes. It can be anything you want! If you want an example of a fortune to help get an idea here's one: "Moderate Luck. You need to focus on your studies this year. This year will be a good year for finding a boyfriend."  Concerning the clothes that will arrive in the truck on the 2nd, none of the clothes on board will be clothes that your character had in their past life. They will all be new clothes. So please keep that in mind if you have them go through the truck to pick out an outfit!! 

There is also snow on the ground with some slight flurries throughout the days and school is currently out until the 13th so kick back and enjoy no homework!! Also, a new NPC will be introduced here on this interaction log and she will be tagging around to characters who post on the log! So look forward to her and we hope you like her.

As always, remember there are several clubs now so practices and meetings 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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR MY AFTERLIFERS.

SUMMARY: INTERACTION LOG you know the drill.

20th: Everything seems normal today, right? Walking down the hallway in the school, going to class or maybe taking a trip to the bathroom when suddenly—splash!! Or perhaps that was you slipping in the puddle of water there growing there in hall. Oops, sorry bought that there’s no wet floor sign, but it seems like the sinks in the bathrooms broke and are over flowing a bit. So be careful, let’s hope someone gets out there to fix that soon.

21st: Even though it’s cold, outside on a nice clear and sunny day? It’s pretty nice when you’re bundled up! So why not go for a picnic? Some other people have thought it was a good idea to go on a picnic, at least. Maybe they shouldn’t have because Yogi Bear hasn’t gone into hibernation yet and Park Ranger Smith isn’t there to stop him from nabbing food from those baskets. So around campus and in town, a few picnic baskets can be found lying around on blankets, and you just might catch a big brown bear having his way with the food there in the basket or scaring the bajesus out of some NPCs who were enjoying a meal. What a sight to see, right?

22nd: Getting so close to winter, those beautiful red and orange leaves are beginning to fall off their trees. It seems someone’s already started to take on the fun job of raking them all up though, so all over the place, piles of leaves can be found!! Why not make this guy’s job harder and jump into them and make a mess? You know you want to. Let out your inner child.

23rd: It’s close to that time of the year when parents spend all day cooking a giant meal for their family, though lucky you, this time you won’t be the one unfortunate soul who has to do all the dishes. Can you guess what’s going to happen today? You guessed right! It’s time to cook some yummy food in cooking class today. Students will be paired up and will have to make either a stuffed turkey or a pumpkin pie! How will you put your cooking skills to the test?

24th: You know, it isn’t really November if there isn’t some kind of big feast, right? And since there isn’t Thanksgiving here in the afterlife, today there’s going to be a surprise harvest festival!! In the cafeteria, fresh vegetables and fruits that both came from the greenhouse, and all kinds of fresh food will be laid out on one long table for anyone to grab and eat. There’s an abundant amount so take as much as you want and pig out! Some of the pies and turkey from yesterday will even be up for grabs there on the table too.

As always, remember there are several clubs now so practices and meetings 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.

23rd: Ah yes, October, the fall season, the month for pumpkins to finally have their time in the spotlight. So grab your carving knives and get ready to dig your hands into goop because today in art class it’s time to carve some pumpkins! Make a cool design, or a scary face! How fanceh can you get.

24th: Everyone’s got a skeleton in their closet, right? Well if you don’t you certainly do now. In your dorm room and open up your closet to change clothes? Maybe on clean up duty after classes end and open up the cleaning equipment closet? SURPRISE!! There’s a skeleton standing up right just waiting for you. Careful though, it might end up falling on you when you open the door. It’s okay, they’re not real. Or are they the skeletons of some NPCs mwuahahaha

25th: Today in the parking lot that’s usually completely empty (parents are pretty bad at coming to visit their kids huh), there is just one car sitting in the middle of the lot. It’s a simple tan sudan, nothing special. What’s it doing there? Who knows. Investigate and you’ll find out that it’s completely locked and trying to smash the windows will only result in the object bouncing off of the glass. Inside though? Nothing. Wonder who’s it is?  Well there's blood splatter on the car tire, hmmm...

26th: It’s gotten a little chilly, but hey, maybe the cool crisp air is nice enough to go for a walk down by the stream on a pretty fall day. But when you get down there you’ll see—a boat! And not just any boat its… a pumpkin boat! Really, it’s a large hallowed out pumpkin made into a boat. Do you dare test it out on the waters? Let’s hope Monster Stream isn’t hungry for pumpkin today.

27th: Halloween is on its way and so is a Halloween party and a special little event!! To get you ready, the afterlife has made the convenient store in town into a costume shop! Better hurry and get the sexiest or scariest outfit. Want a new maid outfit Riki, or maybe a vampire or witch? It’s all there waiting for you so pick your poison.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: The Halloween event will begin on the 25th and go throughout the next week!  Characters are free to discover bodies laid out in random areas about the school or town and they can also discover murder scenes (a room with blood, a weapon, the works).  An OOC post will be made later tonight with further and more detailed descriptions of the event.  Have fun!

As always, remember there are several clubs now so practices and meetings 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.

WHAT: School Festival Day 2: A Special Message Part II
WHEN: 9/29/3013
WHERE: School Festival > wherever your character heads after that.
WARNINGS: Violence, shadows and all they entail, possibly angst, language as always-- do I really need to keep warning for language? We've got a bunch of sailors here every single one of these logs has like a million curse words in it even if they're playing checkers.
SUMMARY: NPCs freeze, turn into shadows after an eerie message from The Programmer.

[ DAY 2 ]
It's happening again. The School Festival had been going as planned, merriment all around, then everything stopped around noon. The NPCs froze in their place, most of the sound dwindled off because of how significant of a presence they hold in the school's population. There is no mirthful laughter any more, just silence and the questionings of those who were not frozen.

The wait is nowhere near as long as the previous freezings though. No, after about 10 minutes something different happens: There's a crackling in the air as the PA system flickers on. It sounds a little off though, like it may not be being accessed from its usual origin point. A male's voice comes from it, an uncertain tone plaguing his words. Like he's trying to be confident, but he has public speaking problems because who would want to talk to an entire school like this when they have no practice and have been an NPC for god knows how long?

"Hello? Is this thing-- is-- okay, yes, good, it's on. Um... Hm, I've frozen the NPCs. That was me. The last few times were a test. Everyone noticed this place has been a little off lately right? Glitches, everywhere, couldn't be helped but it's okay now. It should be. I managed to fix a few of them. Where'd the phones come from though..? That's not mine."

A cough, then the voice starts up again.

"I kept having to wake up, again, and again, and again, and I keep seeing different things and I don't get it. I don't. I don't want to disappear because I want to see her again, but you all have the chance. Some of you had the opportunity and you're still here. Why is it? That program said you were seeking continuance. He's been acting a little weird, I didn't ask him to do that, no. I'll fix him, he might be a little broken, but you all-- you all try so hard to stay but you know you'll go mad, don't you? After 50, after 100 years. Too long here and it gets to you, you're not yourself, and all you want never comes. It just hurts and it can't be fixed so I made this to fix it.

You all want to be immortal with me right? That's what the answers were, that you didn't want to die or disappear or move on, so I'm going to grant your wish. We're all going to stay here forever. I'm glad there are people who agree with me that it's better than never seeing those you lost again, than forgetting them. I'll never forget. Even if I'm an NPC, it just holds it in until I awake again, so we'll all be here together. I can do that, and I will. You're welcome."

The PA flickers off. The NPCs are still frozen and nothing moves for a full minute, then suddenly every one of the NPCs flickers, what looks like binary data sparks a few times, then the NPCs rapidly transform into shadows. They're not frozen anymore. Better run.
