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."

Comments

Frankly the dungeon round was totally embarrassing for her, Equius, and Kamui. She was pretty sure that Kamui would never partner with her again, but, hey, his loss. On the other hand she knew that Equius would be happy to have her due to his odd fascination with her status, so she wasn't worried about getting a Player this round.

She was more worried about how sick she felt this morning, she hasn't felt like this since- since when? Daenerys has been here long enough to know that something isn't right, she turns to the closest person and asks, "Do you feel sick?"

"A bit," Dahlia replied. "I don't seem to have gotten over my seasickness from last week."

At her current young age, she doesn't know the first thing about poison, let alone how to identify it. Or avoid eating it.

[bloodandfire]

Oh it's Dahlia, the girl who got some of her money for that really weird food that one time.

"Sea sickness," she glances over at the lake where the dungeon once stood, "I do not think that this is sea sickness," but she also doesn't think it's poison, usually others tested the food for her in search of poisons.

"I don't know... I simply don't feel well," she said plainly. "Surely it will go away soon."

[bloodandfire]

Dany nods, "Yes, sickness always passes, we should be better in a few days."

[traces]

"That's right." Dahlia smiles and tilts her head to the side.

"How are you feeling besides all of that, Ms. Daenerys? What do you think of Fortitude?"

[bloodandfire]

Dany smiles back at her, "It would be Mrs, I am married," she says without thinking. But with that her smile is gone and she looks upset, her husband was dead, she knew that, but being here gave her hope that she would see him once again.

"Fortitude is fine."
