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. 

WHO: Everyone!
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.
