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 six girls and ten boys. One of the boys seems to be a blue Hedgehog and one of the girls has wings; but the rest all seem human. All sixteenn 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 - nine depicting a shield on green, the other seven a sword on red.

At the first lull in the chatter, a frail looking girl with a shield on her cap steps forward.

"Excuse me, may I have your attention please!"

She explains that the sixteen of them are the current prefects of Rakuen, representing the two schools on the island. Nanami (she gestures to herself), Lelouch, Yuri, Sonic, Jade, Sora, John, Rebecca, Dirk and of Fortitude; and Santana, Flynn, Kevin, Gino, Suzaku, Golbez and Cirno of Conquest.

The introductions are over fast and the girl named 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; a boy and a girl step forward and begin to read names from a clipboard.

Golbez, the Conquest prefect made an imposing figure, standing there with his perpetual glare on his face, as he read off the names. "Dave Strider, Cheshire, Isabela, Jade Harley, Jack Noir, Hideki Hinata, and Hiyo Shishidou."

Despite what seemed to be a broken leg slowing her down, the Fortitude prefect; Jade looked almost excited in her prefect's outfit and neon orange T-shirt that came to her knees. "Okay, the people I read off are for Fortitude! If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them, but please don't threaten me with violence... Komachi Onozuka."

Conquest

[stoppedhiding]

[ Golbez simply stands there, folding his arms over his chest once he's done reading the names from his clipboard, and waits for the new Conquest arrivals to approach. ]

[greenspaces]

[ COMING OVER TO YOU hi Golbez 8D ]

Why aren't you wearing your t-shirt?

[witchofspace]

[Hello, have a girl completely not respond to any of the names called.]

[thehungman]

[ Isabela starts stretching as she steps off the train. This place sure is fancy. ]

Are you the welcoming committee? You're a lot better than a banner or a party.

Re: Conquest

[gottakilldaves]

[Jack approaches Golbez like a calm and responsible adult, prepared to have some seriously mature discussions about pfffffhahaha who am i kidding, he's already screeching at him]

Who the fuck took all my fucking knives?!

And what the hell is this school bullshit, what do I look like, a highschooler? There's no way in hell I got that drunk last night! I don't even remember drinking anything!

[timelike]

[ Dave shuffles up, hands in his pockets, trying to look like he doesn't give a shit about whatever the hell is going on right now, and mostly succeeding.

Who's this douchebag. ]

[missedflyball]

[When Hinata steps off the train, he's waiting for his name to be called in the midst of this awful confusion. Wow was his head hazy. First that crazy dream, now something about some crazy schools...

He remembers disappearing from the afterlife, but he doesn't remember why-- is this where it lead?? Another messed up high school to be trapped in? Just. Perfect.

Of course, he doesn't hear his name... Well he hears 'Hinata' which is his last name and what everyone calls him anyway, but he didn't recognize any 'Hideki.' And he'd remember if his name was Hideki, right? He approaches the prefect with a bit of a confused look, shouldering the bag that had been with him on the train.]

Hey, I didn't hear my name! What am I supposed to do?

Conquest

[nocathere]

Why don't you have fur? [Manners? What are manners? Cheshire jumps up on Golbez's shoulder with a purr. He sits, if not shoved off before he can, and crosses his legs, letting his tail hang over Golbez's shoulder.]

Re: Conquest

[wolfoutline]

[There's a young man on the approach, Golbez. Hands stuffed into his pockets, his jacket looks thick and the scarf around his neck was obviously made for much colder weather. His pants, despite looking like jeans, have a slight shimmer to them hinting that it's made of more than just cloth.]

Excuse me- is this where I'm supposed to be?

Fortitude

[greenspaces]

[ In complete contrast to the imposing figure of Golbez, Jade is small and as excited as can be, ready to answer any questions. ]

[ferriedmemories]

So, it's just you and me, huh?

[witchofspace]

[Staring.
Squinting.
Confused.
She is like a good 99% sure that this girl looks exactly like her, minus the ears.]

[gottakilldaves]

[Jack is about to go stomp off to screech elsewhere when JADES

Jades that are trying to crutch away, oh no. He somehow misses seeing any other floaty sprite Jades so he chases after this one, since he still has no fucking idea what's going on and he's kind of hoping that this is the Jade he's looking for.]

Hey, you! Get the fuck back here! [LIKE A TRUE GENTLEMAN he goes ahead and makes a grab for her wrist (gently, so far) so he can spin her around, just to make sure it's actually Jade. This Jade doesn't have dog ears or anything, so she has to be the one that knows him, right???]

Off to the side moment

[frozenmemories]

[Cirno was standing with the other Prefects, just watching with a serious look on her face. She could not help but wonder who out of the newcomers would be the next to leave. She was still rather upset after another friend had disappeared and was not looking forward to trying to make friends with anyone with that fresh in her mind, But she was willing to attempt. She was looking to see if she knew anyone but nothing was triggering anything and she highly doubted it at this point.]

[ferriedmemories]

[Hey, wait a minute. This looked familiar? Ice wings?]

Hey, do I know you? You look kind of familiar.

[pencilpremonition]

[Becca comes up from behind and wraps her arms around Cirno.]

He's sitting on the side right now.

[heroiccia]

America watched happily as he looked over all of the new faces. Sure he felt for them from being taken away from their homes. But he always did love seeing, and meeting new people. As such, he was positively radiating friendliness right now.

[witchofspace]

[And Harley is always happy to make new friends! So when she notices him and his friendly demeanor she'll trot right up, waving a little.]

Hi!

[pencilpremonition]

Becca was there to offer support to the Fortitude prefect on duty today, if it was needed. It didn't seem to be, so she drifted over towards America.

"My country, tis of thee~..."

Off to the side

[pencilpremonition]

[And here is another Fortitude prefect, though she's not the 'official' greeting prefect this week. Still, she's turned up, and smiles awkwardly at all of the new people, waving at any that get called to Fortitude.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ Yet another Fortitude prefect is standing off near the edge of the platform, eyes moving back and forth over the crowd.

Another Jade, another Dave, and a bunch of people he doesn't recognize. Hadn't Golbez called out the name "Jack Noir"? There are no carapacians here at all. Just a mistake, or something more sinister?

Dirk nods casually at anyone who manages to makes eye contact with him despite his shades. ]

[gottakilldaves]

[The name "Dirk" rings some vague bell in the back of his mind, but Jack can't quite remember why. Did he know any kids named Dirk? Probably, it couldn't be that rare a name. When he couldn't think of any other reason it could be important, he let the name slip out of his mind for the rest of the stupid dumb boring introduction thing.

Then he saw those pointy shades.

Fuck, those things were eerie. There was just something about them that seemed memorable to him, something that made his blood boil. Like a prick in pointy shades had pissed him off at some point in his life. He just couldn't remember why the hell this kid was so memorable. Was he related to one of those freaky mutant brats? Who fucking knows.

He kept on staring after that, because this is totally the best way to leave an impression.]

[Off to the side]

[nocathere]

[When not bothering the unfortunate prefect who called his name, Cheshire is walking between people's legs on his hind legs, not seeming to care who he scared or tripped along the way.]

Re: [Off to the side]

[greenspaces]

[ She smiles at the kitty 0u0 ]

Hi kitty.

[veepofchess]

[Lelouch makes his way away from the group after the announcements are made. There's a lot of prefects and not too many students. He really wasn't needed there anymore.

He moved stiffly, but he was putting a stoic face on his pain. But he had a conversation to have with Nunnally first.]

Nunnally, why don't we walk into town together? [Big smile!]

[forthward]

[don't think she hasn't noticed your obvious pain, brother. she... gives a little sigh]

You shouldn't walk too much.
