On the platform: Meet the neulings

[utopiamods]

As you all crowd onto the platform and peer through the thick fog that chills the air, you are met by five girls and six boys. One of the girls is a somewhat humanoid grey-skinned, finned alien, but the rest all seem human. All eleven are in uniforms that would match if not for the colour differences - skirts and trousers, waistcoats, and light summer shirts that seem totally inappropriate for the light rain. They're all sodden and cold, and some are irritable while others look excited. Each has a beret with a crest pinned to the front - five depicting a shield on green, the other six a sword on red.

At the first lull in the chatter, one sickly-pale, shield-crested girl speaks up, cutting through your conversations with her cold, soft voice.

"Attention, please."

She explains that the eleven of them are the current prefects of Rakuen, representing the two schools on the island. Nanami, she points to herself, Yuri, Sonic, Jade, and Lelouch of Fortitude; and Santana, Flynn, Feferi, Gino, Nephenee and Kevin of Conquest. She doesn't care to explain why the prefects in red and white outnumber those in green and black two to one.

Santana interrupts, "Yeah, yeah. Look, come over when your name is called so we can all get inside." They all move to stand in two groups some distance away from each other, and the two that spoke read off names from their clipboards.

[Haseo wastes exactly no time before stomping up to this weird girl calling his name to begin screeching.] What the hell is this?! Who are you people, admins? Start explaining!

[so good with the ladies]

[greenspaces]

[ Oh god way to pick the nicest, least confrontational prefect to yell at GOOD JOB. ]

We're prefects, not admins...you got on a train and came here, and now you have to stay here until we figure out how to go home. It's school.

[betterlogoutand]

[that's just how Haseo rolls]

What the hell?! I don't have time for school, I need to save Atoli! How do I get back to the Lost Ground?

[greenspaces]

I don't know what that is. I'm really sorry....

[ MAKING HER INTENSELY UNCOMFORTABLE NOW GJ ]

[brbdocumenting]

[She just walks over to her, Anya is good at following directions]

[greenspaces]

Hi. What's your name?

[brbdocumenting]

Anya.

[Yup, that's it]

[veepofchess]

The Knight of Six, is it? What a surprise.

[brbdocumenting]

[Her head hurts a bit as she looks around, she doesn't remember who is what number, including herself. But Lelouch looks familiar while no one else does so she just points to herself as if saying 'who me?']

[veepofchess]

[An eyebrow, but he realizes what she's forgotten.] Gino is here as well, but he's in the other school.

[huge_bitch]

....

[Upon hearing her name she walks over to the girl, taking her time before stopping a foot away from her.]

.....

[And not speaking, I think you have some explaining to do >[]

[greenspaces]

[ ahhhhh intimidating D: ]

Um. Hi. You're at school.

[huge_bitch]

I see that.

[...

...]

Why am I at a school? Do I look like someone that needs to be here?

[greenspaces]

No. But I'm not supposed to be here, either. They just picked us.

[huge_bitch]

[So much silence and staring like you WOULD NOT BELIEVE D:]

And what am I supposed to do now?

[fracturedsoul]

[ He's hardly inconspicuous, dressed as he is in blood-stained purple pajamas and pointy anime shades, but Dirk just lingers and waits to hear what everyone else has to say before he speaks up. ]

School, huh? And what is it we're supposed to be learning here?

[brbdocumenting]

[Interested in what he's wearing, Anya comes up to him and snaps his picture]

Recorded.

[fracturedsoul]

[ He turns toward her, a little surprised. ]

Keeping track of things, are you?

[brbdocumenting]

[she nods]

For my memories.

[fracturedsoul]

Are they usually a problem for you?

[greenspaces]

Everything. We also have to fight, but it's not so bad. Because no one gets hurt from fighting.

[ whoa those pajamas whoa she finally notices. ]

You're a Derse dreamer. [ Suspicious. ] Where did you come from? Was there another session? I thought we were the only one....

[fracturedsoul]

... [ His expression doesn't change, but under his shades he's staring at her something fierce. ]

There will be. It hasn't started yet.

The game hasn't even come out yet, but from the way you phrased that it sounds like you've already played.

[greenspaces]

[ She can feel it RECOILING ]

That doesn't make sense...we played. And my timeline failed. But my friends all played and won. I think.

[fracturedsoul]

Sorry, but I have no idea who you are. If there's another session I haven't heard anything about it.
