On the platform: Meet the new characters

[utopiamods]

As you all crowd onto the platform, which is drenched with sunlight though the air is cool you are met by four girls and three boys. One of the girls is a somewhat humanoid grey-skinned, finned alien and one of the boys seems to be a blue Hedgehog; but the rest all seem human. All seven 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 chill. Some seem irritable while others look excited. Each has a beret with a crest pinned to the front - three depicting a shield on green, the other four a sword on red.

At the first lull in the chatter, the sword crested girl who is not a troll speaks up, looking annoyed.

"Listen up!"

She explains that the eleven of them are the current prefects of Rakuen, representing the two schools on the island. Santana (she gestures to herself), Feferi, Nephenee, and Suzaku of Conquest; and Lelouch, Jade, and Sonic of Fortitude.

The introductions are over fast and Santana seems impatient, "So 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 begin to read names from a clipboard.

And leave us so we can pick up right where we left off. [He's getting back to his feet now, dusting off his shorts.]

[He stands there a bit awkwardly. Dirk's gone awfully quiet.]

So, ah.

[What to even say. Should he try to be distracting?]

Now that you've shown me the dorms, are there any other points of interest I should know about in this place?

[fracturedsoul]

Shit, um.

[ He gets to his feet, pointedly looking at Jake rather than that box. ]

How about I show you the way to your dorm? I've got something to post online after that, but later I can take you out on the town, too. Help you learn your way around this place.

[ Right. The best way to deal with this is to not think about it. ]
