New Arrivals (All new characters)

[utopiamods]

You're falling, and you can't remember why. It's a sickening feeling that makes your insides lurch; the darkness and the vertigo combine, and all you can think of is a story you heard once, somewhere.

Ah, I remember now. It's... a simple story that everyone knows. A legend of a Princess, the Demon Lord who kidnapped her, and the Knight who fought to save her. The Demon Lord had kidnapped the Princess countless times, but every time the Knight bested his challenges and rescued the Princess. No matter what tricks and ploys the Demon Lord used, the Knight would always triumph in the end. This was because--

The world tilts on its axis one last time, and the dream slips from your mind as easily as it arrived. A new voice intrudes on your sleep. Mechanical, monotonous.

"Next stop: Rakuen City. This train terminates here. The next stop is Rakuen. All change." The train rocks steadily. A light drizzle falls onto the windows and yet every now and again there is sunlight. Peaking determinedly from behind black clouds. The air is humid inside the carriages, a vent beside your feet heating the air and making the seats almost uncomfortably warm. A puff of steam from the train winds its way lazily past the windows, distorted by the rain.

It's strangely difficult to shake off the sleep; the rhythm of the train seems to lull you back into slumber and the air is warm and heavy, making it hard to keep hold of a thought. Finally, though, the nausea settles, the last of the dream fades and you can take in your surroundings. And, perhaps more importantly, those around you in a similar state. The train judders to a stop, through the rain lined windows there is a building and people gathered on the platform.

"We have arrived at Rakuen City. All passengers must leave the train. This train is terminating here. This is Rakuen."

[Anya sleep peacefully on the train for a bit before waking up with a sudden start. She's immediately on alert, even if you can't tell from her slowly blinking face. If she looked calm she wouldn't alert anyone else, so she rubs the sleep out her eyes and reaches for her cell phone to check her log. Luckily it's in her pocket where she left it but unluckily there is no mention of getting on a train.]

Hmm...

[xxiisfool]

[It's somewhat both fortunate and unfortunate that Minako just so happenend to be only a seat ahead of Anya. Hearing somem kind of movement, she peaked her head over her seat.]

Oh, hello! [She's surprisingly excited to see someone else here. Even with the fact that she had no idea where they were.]

[brbdocumenting]

[Anya looks up from her phone]

Hello.

[she offers no more than that... she's not very talkative]

[xxiisfool]

[That's alright, cause Minako has met a good amount of people that were not very talkative.]

I'm guessing you're new here too? [Obviously.] My name is Minako!

[brbdocumenting]

[She nods at her and types away in her phone, Minako officially has an entry in her diary, congratulations.]

[It takes her a moment to realize that social protocol states that she say her name in return, but does she need to do that when the person talking to her is Japanese an Eleven? After a bit of silence due to an internal debate she offers up]

Anya.

[ Actions or Prose ]

[xxiisfool]

[Minako is currently perplexed at the fact that she is on the train. With what little she could remember, especially since the rocking of the train continued to have her blink back and forth into and from sleep, Minako has absolutely no memory on getting on the train.

Rubbing her eyes and giving a good stretch, she jumped onto her feet and taking a quick peak out the window of the train.]

Rakuen City, huh... [She then looks down the passageway of the train, somewhat not expecting others to be there with her.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ It's strange to be awakening, considering that Dirk never actually sleeps. When he opens his eyes, his surroundings are unfamiliar. He's wearing his Derse pajamas -- why are they covered in blood? He tries to think, but it's foggy for some reason -- but through the window he can see a bright daytime sky. Okay, it's cloudy, but still. ]

Never heard of it.

[xxiisfool]

[Minako immediately notices that his pajamas are covered in blood, which brought a moment of silence before she asked:]

Are you alright...? Your clothes are kinda... dirty.

[fracturedsoul]

I'm fine. [ He sits up straight and pats himself down. He doesn't seem to be wounded... ] I don't think it's my blood.

[the_stab_daddy]

[Dreams could be reality back where Spades was from, though he couldn't think of a Princess he'd want to save, nor was he non the less a Knight than a pawn.

Whatever, it was just a shitty dream, it didn't have to make sense, so long as it didn't effect him.

Spades robotic arm rubbed up over his one good eye, trying to get the groggy sleep from it as he sucking in an annoyed breath through grit teeth. Where the fuck was Rakuen City? What the fuck was he doing on a damn train? And where the fuck were the Midnight Crew?

Raising from his seat, Spades slowly made his way down the isle, passing other who wore a puzzled expression much like his own upon their own faces.]

[brbdocumenting]

[Anya raises her camera and takes a picture of him without saying anything.]

[He's just interesting looking and she's fascinated]

[the_stab_daddy]

GAH!!

[Spades was not expecting that. Covering his eyes and pulling the most unimpressed expression. Gray tongue poked out as he lowered his hands and pulled a most twisted face.

He mumbled something under his breath, still slightly dazzled from the camera's flash.]

Stupid brats these days, no respect, no common courtesy...

[brbdocumenting]

[Anya doesn't respond to his displeasure, instead she snaps another picture and types away on her phone, making a blog entry just for him. Aren't you special Spades Slick? Anya finds you very interesting.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ Dirk has gotten up from his seat to look around the train, pausing when he notices someone -- a Dersite -- who seems to have gotten the same idea.

Who's this douchebag? They all look alike, but the scar over his eye is unfamiliar. Still, this isn't exactly how Dirk wanted to advertise the fact that he was already awake.

Oh well. Nothing he can do about that. He'll just have to improvise. ]

What is this?

Late sorry! D:

[the_stab_daddy]

[Its probably lucky for Slick that the human doesn't recognize whom he shares a resemblance too, otherwise it could become very hostile very fast on this moving metal box or annoyance!

Slick turned when Dirk spoke and stared at him like he was talking in Elephant or something.]

Its a train.... We've been kidnapped clearly...

np!

[fracturedsoul]

[ They all. Look. The same. Well he's obviously not HB or one of those other ridiculously-shaped ones, but. ]

Clearly. [ "We've" been kidnapped, he said. That could be a lie, but what would he gain from it? Why would he even be here if he were part of this? No... She isn't behind this, he decides, and the carapace is just as clueless as he is. ] Who are you?

[huge_bitch]

[Stirring from sleep, there is the small hint of confusion on the woman's face.

This definitely wasn't the place she was in earlier, nor did she remember falling asleep. Come to think of it, where had she been?

The train pulls in and she stands, driven to get off the train as nonchalantly as possible, as if she planned to be here all along, as all the while she searched and searched over the crowd of people for a familiar face.]

[the_stab_daddy]

[Walking by like it ain't no thing, is one Spades Slick.

Sorry Snowman, he's not recognized or noticed you, he's in a blind rage trying to get away from the young girl with a camera currently following after him.]

[huge_bitch]

[Oh, it's him.

HIM.

Wait- what was his name again?

She begins to follow that guy whose name she has forgotten but she knows she hates, just waiting for him to recognize her.

And waiting

And waiting

okay what the hell, she will just prod him harshly in the back of the neck with her cigarette holder instead. This must all be his fault.]

[the_stab_daddy]

Oh for the love of!!! GIVE IT A REST WOULD YA' KID!

[As Slick turned around, expecting to see the young girl with her camera again, he was startled to see the stoic face of the one and only Snowman.

Slick actually stumbled back into the person who had been walking in front of him.]

[smupette]

[Not that Sis was in any better shape to recognize people. She stops when she gets to Snowman. Something tells her that she might love to get to know this character.]

Nice exit, but you aren't fooling anyone.

[huge_bitch]

Heh. Whatever would lead you to believe such a thing?

[Bluffing to her grave ok]

[smupette]

You haven't a damn clue where you are.

[:| UNAMUSED.]

[conceptualizing]

[Seto had never gotten lost before. Sure, there was such a thing as kidnappings but this? He was on a train going somewhere he didn't know? How the hell did this even happen?

He stepped out onto the platform, briefcase at hand and looking very much annoyed.]

What the hell is going on.

[decaying]

[Kanda was annoyed. Annoyed beyond all reasoning. He felt tired even if he was sure he hadn't been doing anything prior to somehow appearing on a train. He hesitated, for once, before stepping off the tracks. Rakuen? He had never heard about this place. It had a bad vibe to it and he didn't bother moving off the platform. He just stared.]

There's too many people here...
