♯ graduation ♫

Who: Sunset, Sol, and invited guests
Where: The park
When: Day 129, morning (forward-dated)

[ For those who were invited - and maybe those who were not - you find banners circling around one particular grove of trees like a fairy's circle, opening up at one end to an archway of flowers. Through the entrance you can see the banners reading "CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES" and "HAPPY TRAVELS" in gold font atop red and blue banner cloth.

For those who are unaware, or those who don't go through the entrance, they'll find themselves unable to pass through the trees on either end - they'll find themselves pacing in the same place if they try to proceed, and nothing will go through. In fact, you can't even see past the trees without going through the entrance first - it's like a pocket dimension, or entering another world. How . . . strange. . .

Well - step through the entrance and you'll find music beginning to play, although there's no particular source. It seems to be the ambiance - well-fitting too, given the festivities going on!

(Stepping back out of the entrance completely stops the music, and you can't even see what's going on beyond the entrance until you step back in. Hhhhhuh.)

Anyway. On the rows of picnic cloth-covered foldable tables are an unusual mix of food and drink: bread dishes, meat skewers, roasted fish, stew, and ale . . . along with soda, fried chicken, takoyaki, various street fair food, and -. . . . conbini bento? The spread is all mixed together, like whoever set it up just has no idea how they were supposed to be organizing this. There are no chairs to sit on, however; every seat is a rooted tree stump, completely immovable.

A dazzling gold carpet rolls from the entrance to the very back, where a makeshift stage has been created. There are two large speakers that stand off center on either side of the stage, but neither of them are making the music happen . . . At the center, two mic stands with sparkling confetti boas wrapping around them: one is Taisho madder and the other is pep!pep! navy.

Oh and - there are just a few barrels near the trees, strewn about. What are they there for? Atmosphere??? You can't interact with them at all - it's like that awkward thing where the graphics weren't finely tuned enough so even trying to touch them just results in the attempting appendage hovering in place. That's weird.

Well.

Putting that all aside, it's a party! ]

How much can we eat before we have to leave?

[and then they both go talk to others and time passes and somehow everything is fine?! no one seems to want to kill anyone or anything??? the magic of slowly picking at this post over the span of two weeks

he will join her later, once she seems to be free (he's been crying)]

Hi...

[takes a seat on one of those tree stumps]

It's a bit hard, isn't it?

... Mm.

I don't like it.

Saying goodbye, I guess.

I wish we could just leave with everyone...

[after some silence]

I asked a few people how they felt about graduations before we were even approached.

Mm. Back when I started thinking about this, I wanted to know what other people thought.

There are some people who want to stay so they can break the system, even if they don't know whether it can be done or not. I wish everyone could leave like us, but that might not be what others want if they refuse to do anything on this place's terms.

It's what Kirito and Alice wanted to do when we fought Administrator. I didn't fully understand until I got my memories back, but that's probably what C and Intensity are trying to do here as well.

But... can it really be done?

I don't know. But for their sakes, I hope so.
