Fortitude Round 7

[mamarosa]

It should be a familiar scene by now, Dolorosa standing on the platform with her ever peaceful expression, flanked by her ever growing number of Prefects. There are five others with her now, Nanami, Lelouch, Yuri, Sonic, and Jade. It's hardly noticeable but Dolorosa is purposefully keeping her distance from Lelouch after some recent revelations. But nothing else has changed, everything else is normal and in order to keep the peace she begins her speech as if everything is normal. Although you may be feeling a bit sick

"Good morning, my students. I know you have had an eventful round, the first dungeon is always exciting and it is something you will always remember. I still remember my first dungeon," she smiles fondly but doesn't tell the story of her first dungeon, "This is usually the point where I announce battles, but because it was a dungeon round there was no battling even if there could have been. I am very proud of all of you."

That would be another difference, the battle records do not appear behind her, nor does she announce who won the round. Instead she explains that because the results of the dungeon have been publicized before she will save time and go straight on to the Players for this round.

"This is Round 7, everything goes back to normal this round. You are expected to to vow with Weapons and battle Conquest. Now that we have been here for some time and I know the abilities that all of you have, I know you have both the ability to win graciously and lose graciously. I am proud of all of you."

"Without further ado, the Players for Round 7 are:

Dave
Kanaya
Equius
Zoey
Anya
Dirk"

Her smile falters for a split second as she glances at the board behind her, almost expecting something like what happened during Round 5 assembly to occur again. After seeing that, no, the board was not going to light up and show Fortitude the Conquest assembly, she concludes her speech.

"Have a wonderful round everyone."

[Today? Dave looks like shit. This seems to be an ongoing thing about Dave as of late where he starts the round looking like crap. Just what does he do on his rest day? No one even knows.

Oh, he's a Player. Apparently, so is Dirk.

This is so awkward. He let's out a silent sigh. This isn't so bad. He kind of wants to go back and sleep though. He's still feeling pretty sore. Fucking bitch.]

[pencilpremonition]

...Dave? Are you okay?

[knightime]

im golden
had a nasty run in with a neighbor
apparently they dont appreciate the sounds of music
which is bullshit
but they were kind of a bitch

[But sleeping sounds amazing right now.]

[pencilpremonition]

That sucks. Totally unfair.

[knightime]

man im not even mad anymore
ok
im still kind of peeved
but ill deal
i might look in on seeing if they can move her
or if i can move
i actually like my dorm
...

[Although moving...away from Dirk sounded nice too. Not that Dirk was bad. But it was awkward living with a guy with your last name, looks a lot like you which probably meant ectobiology shit, and gosh, he doesn't even know.]

[pencilpremonition]

Who was it, anyway?

[knightime]

i think her name was snowman???
huge bitch
she like
exudes a bitch aura
youll totes know when you see her im pretty sure

[savedbyasong]

[What? Dave what happened? Why does this always happen. Shion is going to start babysitting you during rest days. Have a very very worried looking Shion.]

What happened?

[knightime]

someone below my floor
is a huge bitch
like the biggest bitch
and she was not friendly in the least
consequently
this is how i make friends apparently

[Maybe Dave kind of asked for it. But hey, he should be allowed to play the role as the obnoxious guy who plays music really loudly.]

[savedbyasong]

Who? Who was it? What did she do?

[knightime]

someone named snowman???
some bitch
who
unfortunatly
comes from my universe
not that i really talked
met
her before
sucks though

[savedbyasong]

Snowman? She is in my room... [His (creepy because they are invisible...)eyes darken, he hadn't spoken to her but he wouldn't of thought she would hurt anyone. But he was not a very good judge of that as was becoming very clear. She shouldn't be able to hurt others though, especially not Dave, who got hurt on a weakly basis.]

[knightime]

just
dont piss her off
which actually shouldnt be a problem
you pissing someone off
is like me deciding i want to convert to being a good kid
getting mad at you is like getting mad at the saddest puppy

[He will fuck Snowman's shit up if she tries though. And by that, get his shit fucked up while trying to fuck her shit up.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ Dirk already noticed Dave's state the night before, so he doesn't have any further reason to comment on it. Instead, he has a different subject. ]

Have you found a weapon yet?

[knightime]

kind of???
im not usually worried honestly
most of the people here are chill
this is like the sixth time im a player
so i know theres always people i can rely on otherwise
btw
you are the most peaceful morning person
it is you

[Haha, way to go. He totally saw that this morning. Even if he was pretty much a turtle when it came to reacting to it.]

[fracturedsoul]

Sixth time out of seven weeks? Whoever's got their hand lodged up our plush rumps must really like you.

[ His mouth quirks to the side just the slightest bit as he gets to the end. ]

I don't know what you're talking about. It's pretty fucking weird to conk out, suffer delusions and hallucinations for eight hours, and act like that's totally unremarkable.

[knightime]

yeah
its kind of weird
either someone out there knows how badass i am
or someone is trying to get me killed
honestly i really dont care since being a player means getting raks easily
hahaha omg
so falling out of your bed like a swan on acid
was your way of just being overdramatic???

[If Dave were honest with himself, the suffering of delusions and hallucinations usually ends up with him staring out the window until the sun rises. He's not the best sleeper.]

[fracturedsoul]

Yeah, you can handle it. You're a Strider. [ What...ever it means that there's more than one. That's just weird. ]

Nice choice of animals there. I was a swan. An elegant swan doing an beautiful dance of awakening from, yes, something similar to what I suspect an acid trip might be like.

[knightime]

damn right i am
had to choose the most graceful of fucking birds
no one is going to be impressed if i called you a seagull or something
youre a player

[A statement.]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[He walks up to Dave, all brave-like, then his voice cuts out and he's standing there like an idiot.

Give him a second... or two, or three. He then manages to speak, but rushes his words.] Y-you're a player? Th-the one making the a-awesome music the o-other day?

[knightime]

[He tilts his head a bit. How can you be this thoroughly intimidated by a 13 year old?]

yes to boh
whats up???
looking for a player im guessing

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[He nods, taking a deep breath. Hey, kids are scary. It's Dave's age-bracket that says some of the meanest things, after all.] For me, a-and Becca... she s-said she knows you?

[knightime]

yeah i know her
she came in the same round as i did
we talk a bit
i think i spend more time antagonizing her if im gonna be honest
i can vow with you both
rights and shit
i dont care
it shouldnt be up to me for you guys to get rights
i find that to be complete and utter bullshit

[ANd he'd never deny it. Unless he somehow ended up with someone he hated.]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex smiles, relieved.] Th-then we have a deal!

[knightime]

alright
cool
no problem

[Gonna just start his harem of random Weapons like usual.]
