three ◆ action.

[extraordinarily]

✖ everywhere;

[ There is a teenage girl running around, carrying a huge amount of papers that state something really important is happening. At least, to said teenage girl, it's 'important'. However, that's not the only thing that's odd.

This girl is wearing something that is completely different than her past outfits as a detective and a somewhat average high schooler.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen: the girl before you is wearing a bunny girl outfit. Sure, she might not have been allowed to wear this anymore on school grounds while she was alive, but now that she was dead, those rules were also dead to her.

Either way, Haruhi Suzumiya will wander around everywhere and anywhere, passing out the flyers to any person who doesn't seem to be an NPC, giving this announcement along with it: ]

Alright! Later today, there will be a very important meeting that may concern you, your lives, and possibly even your deaths! It's really important that you come if you want to know all the latest information regarding... well, everything!

[ Basically if your character reads the flyer, it pretty much says this (insert link of a pretty flyer here). ]

✖ in an empty classroom, during school hours;

[ After passing enough flyers, she'll head into an empty classroom. In fact, this classroom is one the music classrooms. Haruhi will stop here, pick up a guitar and play a little song... ]

If we could understand each other better
Right now, she'd be getting along with me

The way back home is always a paradise
Did we talk about everything while licking ice cream? ♫

[ However, she won't exactly notice anyone coming in the classroom as she sings, so feel free to bother her any time during or after the song. ]

✖ in an empty classroom, afterschool;

[ Haruhi will be waiting for people to arrive, and when they do, she'll put on her nerd glasses on (not that she needs them, she just feels like it) and grin at everyone. ]

Welcome, everyone! As you might already know, I'm Suzumiya Haruhi: former brigade chief, ultra detective, and expert on everything supernatural!!

[ Of course, she's speaking in the most energetic voice before she starts drawing some diagrams on the whiteboard.

The first diagram is here and the second is here, linked for your convenience. ]

Anyway, I have called all of you guys here in order to explain several things to you. I've spoken to a bunch of people who have different interpretations of what 'Earth' is like, and I've come up with two possible solutions!

[ She then slams her hand down on the first diagram on the left side. ]

The first is that everyone is from different worlds! Parallel worlds, if you catch my drift! But then that raises the obvious question: why are we all in the same afterlife? That's simple. You see the diagram?

The words intersect with one afterlife, meaning that everyone and everything that dies ends up here, no matter what world they come from.

[ And then she points at the second one, just as energetically. ]

The second is that everyone is from a different point in time! Of course, I thought this was crazy, but there's a possibility that after you die, you don't 'wake up' right away and that whoever rules this place gets to choose when and where you wake up in the afterlife.

Though it might just be an altered timeline thing, as you can see in the diagram.

Genius, right?

[ Soon enough, however, she stops sounding energetic and instead sounds a little more serious. In fact, even her expression looks more serious than before. ]

Anyway, if you have any questions about that, go ahead and throw them at me. Also, I'd like to hear what each and any of your Earths are about so we can come up with a more logical conclusion.

[ And you think she was done? Think again. She already got all the 'important' stuff out of the way, so now it's time for the other things. ]

If you don't already know — or if you haven't heard of it already, in just a few weeks, it will be Christmas! Christmas! Which means that this place has to be Christmas-upped for the holiday!

I'm sure that Mr. Christ will be proud of us, celebrating his birthday even after we've all died! And maybe he'll even do something real great! So keep the date in mind: December 25th! We'll have a party and maybe even cook a nice hot pot, too! If you have any ideas, I'll keep them in mind.

(OOC: OKAY, finally finished with this long, horrible, and image-filled post! The English translation for the song lyrics are here if you need them!

Basically, the third half of the post is a mingle option, so feel free to threadjack other threads and such.)

that's what you think!!

[tsunball]

Nah, I've been here for a while already.

[ Ah, she's so nice too..!! Dokis all over right here. ]

Doesn't make things any less confusing though, this place is really weird. You haven't been harassed by weird guys yet, have you? [ YOU'RE THE ONLY HARASSING WEIRD GUY HERE, LEON. ]

i can't live without breaking leon's heart, sorry

[gentlelady]

Weird guys? Oh no, I only met nice people so far. [ Yep, there are no weird people what are you talking about ]

I figure you could guide me around this place, then? I'm still not familiar with the afterlife yet.

don't go breaking his heart....

[tsunball]

[ Yeah, Leon's one of these nice people, right? SO NOTICE HIM, LILLY-SENPAAAHAAAIIII.. ]

Of course! [ He says it a little too quickly. ] I'll show you anything you want, anything at all! Just tell me!

too late, his only hope is the yawhees...

[gentlelady]

[ A little chuckle. The way he answered so quickly somehow amuses her. ] My, my. I sure was lucky, meeting such a kind person like you. I basically only know some places around the campus, but I haven't visited the town yet.

[tsunball]

Then let's skip this meeting [ he eyes haruhi at that, she's.. sort of scary, much like most girls here.. ] and get there already before she starts kicking me! I swear, she's just looking for an opportunity!

[gentlelady]

Should we really do that? I wouldn't want to do such a rude thing to Suzumiya-san. [ She eyes at him weirdly... what have you done to that girl, mister? ] We could go later.

[tsunball]

[ More like what has that girl done to him!! This time Leon really is innocent, okay, for the first time in his life he did nothing to validate someone raging over him.. ]

Huuuh? So you want to wait this entire time until she's done? [ B-BUT..!! ;A; ]

[gentlelady]

[ ... She'll probably believe him if he told her so. ]

Why not? We could learn more about this place.

[tsunball]

I don't get any of this stuff though.. [ He just lets his head drop onto his desk here. He's so done with this stuff!! ]

Do you?

[gentlelady]

I do, a little bit. She basically explained that we might be from different worlds and timelines. No matter when or where we died, we all end up here. [ A beat. ] Don't ask me how that can be possible, though.

[tsunball]

.. She said that, really?! [ See, the different worlds thing is new to him, but.. ] I could've figured out the second part myself! Shit, wasn't that obvious to begin with?

[ He mostly figured that since Chihiro was there with him right off the bat, but they didn't die at the same time at all.. ]

[gentlelady]

Was it? To be honest, I didn't know that bit until she explained it now. It all makes sense, regardless. [ She rests her hands on her lap, fingers entwined, her pose erect and dignified. ] Everything about this place is quite incredible, isn't it?

[tsunball]

[ .. No, Lilly, don't do that!! Stop being so pretty and cute and nice or he'll just melt into a puddle right on his desk here.. at least it manages to stop his dumb voice raising. For a moment. ]

I dunno if I'd call it 'incredible'.. I guess it could be worse though. [ Like back home. ]

[gentlelady]

[ That's just part of being classy, Leon. She tilts her head, curious at what he said just now. ]

Are you saying you come from a world where this sort of thing is the norm?

[tsunball]

Being dead isn't the norm for sure! [ HE DIDN'T WANT TO DIEEEE.. but okay, no sense in lamenting that now, he can't change it anymore.. ]

But I was in a school too before I got here, so I guess that isn't much of a difference.

[gentlelady]

Really? That's quite similar to my case, except that I left school before coming here. I was on a plane. [ Which crashed somewhere. At least she didn't suffer much. ]

[tsunball]

[ .. Ah. If she's here, she died, so.. on a plane.. yeah, he can sort of imagine what happened there. Well, that does suck, even if it's nothing compared to his death. ]

I guess we were all still way too busy with our life to go here, huh?

[gentlelady]

I suppose so. I was with my sister on a flight to Scotland. I had a big deal of things to think about... and then suddenly I'm here. How ironic. [ A sad smile. She's trying to cope with the fact she might not see her her loved ones again. ]

[tsunball]

It's just unfair, that's what it is! [ And with that his spirit seems to flare up again, yup. But it already had back in the school, this is just the afterlife continuation of it, really.. ]

They should give us our lives and dreams back, this is fucking unfair..!

[gentlelady]

[ My my, such a potty mouth. Then again, she's used to her sister's antics- Akira is not a piece of pureness either. She awkwardly keeps her smile, closing her eyes. She's been so used to keep them closed, she can't help doing that often. ]

I wish that would be the case, but as far as I know, people never returned from certain death.

[tsunball]

[ Leon is far from a piece of pureness, sorry, Lilly.. ]

If there's a weird place like this, then they could at least do something weird like that too, right..? [ But it's half-mumbled - mostly because he too realises it's impossible, he's just being like a spoiled kid right now because he still thinks the way he died is really unfair. ]

[gentlelady]

[ If he's dirty she ain't touching him!! ]

I doubt that would be the case. Such miracles never happened, right? [ Have a figurative pat on the shoulder, Leon. She's not moving from her pose, but she can understand his frustration, and in truth- she was feeling the same way, although death gave her a huge advantage instead. ]

Don't you really like it here?

[tsunball]

[ BUT LILLY-CHAAAAAANNN..

And he grumbles something, as if he isn't entirely sure or doesn't want to admit it, or.. well, who understands him, it's Leon, he always has something to grumble about. ]

This place isn't too bad, but I just wanted to live..!

[gentlelady]

[ Poor boy... she gives him a look full of sympathy. ]

I'm sure everyone here feels the same way. At least we didn't exactly stop existing, did we?

[tsunball]

No one knows that we're still here like this, right? Back home, back in life.. everyone will just forget about us! [ It's maybe not exactly his biggest issue. But for someone like Leon, who always craves attention, it's still quite a big deal. ]
