004 - [audio / action ] Rock! Rock! Rock over Afterlife!

[keptwaiting]

audio;

Guuuys! If you were crazy enough to not go outside already, then grab a scarf or something and come out here, it's amazing! Kind of weird considering we just had a beach and now it's all... arctic? Antarctic? Anyway! There's penguins! Come out and see, it's so great!

[ From the sound of it, he's already outside, broadcasting with his cellphone. And boy does he sound excited. ]

action;

[ Honestly, it's things like these that make Yamashita forget he's dead. The weirdness of the happenings alienates him each time, but only for a moment, and then he's just into it. It's a good thing sometimes to have a simple one-track-ish mind. He can just honestly enjoy himself now and forget sorrow for a good while.

Wrapped in a lot of clothes that look kind of out of place, Yamashita can be found outside close to a group of penguins, kind of attempting to get closer and pat them on the head. They mostly walk away from him though, presumably thinking 'what a weird enthusiastic kid'. ]

Penguins?! Really?!

audio

[waifu]

[No, no no no no no...no. No. No.]

Yamashita?! [Rhetorical.] Where did you find penguins? More importantly...what do they look like?!

Audio

[keptwaiting]

Yes! Real life, not even like in the zoo! They're just there! Ice bears, too, it's really exciting!

audio

[keptwaiting]

Well, outside! Come on, snowy wonderland's not so hard to overlook. Most are at the river though. And they look like.... penguins? You know, black and white, cute?

[ Duh, all these things are obvious, right? ]

Audio

[princesspool]

Uwaaah~! This is a dream come true! They must all be so adorable!

audio

[waifu]

[Black and white? Cute? That's a huge relief. But still:]

You shouldn't be playing with wild animals.

[Didn't you know? Shouma's becoming a NEET. What snowy wonderland could Yamashita be talking about?

Oh right, the one he's decided to ignore.]

Audio

[keptwaiting]

They are, they are!

You should come out and see, they let you get real close, too!

audio

[keptwaiting]

Why not though? It's not like anything can really happen here and besides, they're real friendly.

[ Or so he has decided, but the penguins would probably disagree because he's annoying. ]

And besides besides, the ice bears are drinking lemonade, so are these even really wild?

Audio

[princesspool]

Close enough to pet...?

Audio

[keptwaiting]

I'm trying that right now! It takes a bit of effort though, but it's not impossible.

I bet they can be befriended over time. [ Take this with a large grain of salt, Yamashita has literally no idea how animal minds work. ]

Audio

[princesspool]

[She's no SHSL expert either.]

Don't give up! Being a friend with a penguin must be a life changing experience!

action;

[suckswithmaps]

[After hearing about there being penguins outside, Celica rushes out of her dorm to go find them! And in doing so, she spots the boy approaching the penguins and approaches him.]

Ahh, there really are penguins out here!

Audio

[keptwaiting]

Right, right? I think so, too, it must be a lot of fun~

audio

[waifu]

[Oh no that's terrifying news.]

You're should have said that at the beginning! Where are you?

[Black and white...maybe it is them and they've just changed colors. Birds molt over time, don't they?

He's going to throw up.]

[keptwaiting]

[ He smiles brightly at her. What a pretty girl though! The girls in the afterlife really looked amazing. ]

Of course! I wouldn't joke about something like that after all. This winter's pretty awesome!

audio

[keptwaiting]

Hmh? I'm down by the stream, a little away from the school! Soo are you coming out here then after all?

action;

[suckswithmaps]

[And she returns the smile! While nodding as well.]

It really is! We didn't have all that much happen last year, but it seems like we're having a very exciting winter this year. It's a little strange to see these sorts of animals here, but... ahh... they're really cute in person!

[Shouma accidentally hangs up just after receiving those directions. Given his skill/endurance abilities with chasing trucks, it shouldn't take him very long to reach the stream Yamashita mentioned. No, his directions weren't the most descriptive, but he knows where the stream located is having been in that area recently. Thanks a lot, mistletoe.

It's not very far at all, but he'll still be fairly out of breath by the time he arrives. He was treating this whole thing like an Olympic race, after all.]

action;

[keptwaiting]

Ah, you've been here for over a year? Whoa, that's long!

So that means every winter is different then....? Hmh, that could make next year exciting, actually!

action;

[suckswithmaps]

Um, nearly a year now, yes. I think I arrived on Christmas last year, so... [Time sure does fly.]

Considering how last year there was a big snow storm, I would sure hope we get more fun years like these, eheh...

Audio

[princesspool]

I'm so happy! Maybe we can keep them as pets!

[audio]

[crashtestdummy]

[Oh hey, he knows that voice.]

Man, you weren't kidding about the ocean just up and disappearing. But I wasn't expectin' all this.

[audio]

[keptwaiting]

I told you I'm not a liar!

This place's pretty amazing in it's own way, I'd say.

[audio]

[crashtestdummy]

I believe you, I believe you!

Are you sure those are penguins though? They look pretty weird...

[Toji you have seen all of one penguin in your life and that was the weird one.]

Audio

[keptwaiting]

What is proper care for a penguin though? Then again, if they stay outside and just come inside sometime, it could work.....
