New Arrivals (All new characters)

[utopiamods]

You're falling, and you can't remember why. It's a sickening feeling that makes your insides lurch; the darkness and the vertigo combine, and all you can think of is a story you heard once, somewhere.

Ah, I remember now. It's... a simple story that everyone knows. A legend of a Princess, the Demon Lord who kidnapped her, and the Knight who fought to save her. The Demon Lord had kidnapped the Princess countless times, but every time the Knight bested his challenges and rescued the Princess. No matter what tricks and ploys the Demon Lord used, the Knight would always triumph in the end. This was because--

The world tilts on its axis one last time, and the dream slips from your mind as easily as it arrived. A new voice intrudes on your sleep. Mechanical, monotonous.

"Next stop: Rakuen City. This train terminates here. The next stop is Rakuen. All change." The train rocks steadily. The sun shines through the window cheerfully and if you look out the window you will see rolling meadows full of spring flowers. Steam drifts past the window, it is warm. A mixture of sunlight and the heating of the seats, it adds to the dreamlike atmosphere.

It's strangely difficult to shake off the sleep; the rhythm of the train seems to lull you back into slumber and the air is warm and heavy, making it hard to keep hold of a thought. Finally, though, the nausea settles, the last of the dream fades and you can take in your surroundings. And, perhaps more importantly, those around you in a similar state. The train judders to a stop, through the rain lined windows there is a building and people gathered on the platform.

"We have arrived at Rakuen City. All passengers must leave the train. This train is terminating here. This is Rakuen."

[There's a long silence, then he lets go of her shoulder. This is a little too weird for him right now. He's seen some pretty weird shit, but amnesia like this? Fuck. Maybe that poison he took the other day had more serious effects than they thought? And... somehow Jade got some too?? or something???

Or this actually isn't Jade, it's hard to tell when he can't even remember how he got here.

He groans and rubs his face. Maybe he was still half asleep.] Shit, sorry. You just looked like someone else. [like a weird identical twin of someone else...]

[witchofspace]

[She beams him a smile.]

That's ok! What's your name? Maybe I can find you and tell you if I ever see anyone that looks like me named Jade!

[gottakilldaves]

[Her continued Jade-like behaviour is only making him question himself more he doesn't know what to believe in. So he keeps on scowling like a jerk.]

I fucking doubt it, but fine. Tell her Jack's looking for her.

[witchofspace]

[Jack, huh? That's an odd coincidence.]

You never know! This place seems really unusual as it is.

[gottakilldaves]

That's one way to put it... I even don't remember getting on any goddamn trains.

[witchofspace]

Me either. I don't remember any trains on any of the other planets, too...
