On the platform: Meet the neulings

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.

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....

... [ 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: (doubtful)

[ 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.

Sorry, but I have no idea who you are. If there's another session I haven't heard anything about it.
greenspaces: (things will get better)

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-04-12 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not surprising. We didn't hear about any other sessions, either.

[ Shaking her head. ] I'm Jade. What's your name?

[ He's going to get to the bottom of this... ]

Dirk. So you're a prefect here, Jade? How did you manage that?

They picked me. I got all of my power rings, and this weird light thing happened, and then we came out of the dungeon and they told me I was a prefect.

[ showing him the hand that has five power rings on it. And then showing him the necklace that has a sixth, as well as a memory charm. ]

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-04-12 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
...huh. [ He leans over to take a closer look. He's definitely going to have to read that manual. ] So once you did that, you were granted a position of relative power.

Light thing? Could you be more specific?
greenspaces: (it catches up with you)

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-04-17 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She nods. ] It was a star, on my weapon. I couldn't really see it, because Sora was in the way, but it was definitely a star.

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-04-17 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
What exactly happened when it appeared? You said you were in a dungeon.
greenspaces: (surprised)

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-04-17 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing, except Sora got a little scared. And then we defeated the scary frog.

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-04-17 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

Let me rephrase that question. Where was this dungeon, and what was this Sora person doing with your weapon when the star appeared?
greenspaces: (surprised)

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-04-17 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
The dungeon was a giant pirate ship, but it's gone now. [ She thinks. How does she explain this? Finally, she gets an idea. Grabbing her Player's glove out of a pocket in her skirt, she puts it on. ]

Can I show you?
fracturedsoul: (pic#2959081)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-04-17 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...ah.

[ Show him? Sure, why not. ] Go for it. If I'm correctly remembering that oddly specific vision I had before I wound up on that train, there's a spear in my soul, or however that works.

[ ...why a spear, anyway? That's an odd weapon choice for him. ]
greenspaces: (surprised)

so the FAQ said yes but the mods said no...

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-04-18 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tries and
huh
doesn't work ]


Weird!

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-04-18 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's slightly surprised; he definitely remembered drawing a weapon out of himself in that... what was it, anyway? ]

Yeah, weird. I'm gonna have to go look up the rules on when you can and can't draw these things.

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-04-19 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Same. [ Thinking. ] Maybe it's in the library...
