On the platform: Meet the new characters

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."

[ She pulls out her piece of yarn around her neck, which holds four different charms, each a different color. ]

These are memories. If you don't wear them, then you won't remember them. I only have one of my own memories, these are from friends...

Not as good as you, but I can win battles. [ And she smiles in return; explaining Exaclan is something she's good at by now, and Daves are Daves no matter what. So it's not long before she's smiling like normal. ]

We should play sometime, if we're both Players. Or we could go to the gardening shop! I love it there. I'm in Fortitude, though, so we can only really hang out downtown...
greenspaces: (surprised)

sorry this is late ;u;

The last memory I had of home before was of the FLEIJA being detonated over Tokyo. But now, I remember much more. Everything between then and--the last time we saw each other. [By his tone, it's obvious he isn't talking about anything in Rakuen]

[Awkwarddddd.]

because i cant talk otherwise
...
yea
i guess talking daves are the normal issued daves
once in awhile theyll be a slightly defected one
doesnt make them any less cool
they just cant always do things the other daves could do
this one comes without a talking function
guess they forgot that talking would be convenient
but oh well
text is pretty fucking chill
surprise
but yea
the talking thing?
cant do it
never could
just wasnt happening
didnt happen
im pretty sure you dont just conveniently know how to sign either

I see...

[reaches out with a hand]

[personal profile] ferriedmemories 2012-07-09 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
A friend got you one? Couldn't you have gotten it yourself?
ferriedmemories: (cheery)

[personal profile] ferriedmemories 2012-07-09 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, you must be from way outside.

Shinigami are responsible for managing death.

[He takes it, and stops walking.] I'm sorry I made you watch that. If there was a way it could have been avoided, I would have pursued it.
forthward: (pic#713939)

[personal profile] forthward 2012-07-09 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't... ask you to do something like that. Ever. And that couldn't have been the only way—!
veepofchess: (could have danced)

[personal profile] veepofchess 2012-07-09 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
There was no place in the world you deserved for a demon like myself. I couldn't be the person I used to be.

[she's silent for a while, and then looks down, closing her eyes. she had adapted after what happened, she'd put it behind her somewhat. there hadn't been anything else for her to do. but she had never gotten over the fact that she would never see her brother again, or talk to him. she had never gotten used to it being so empty]

... I didn't want a world without you, brother. That wouldn't have been the right world— isn't the right world.
veepofchess: (being nice)

[personal profile] veepofchess 2012-07-09 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Is the world not better now as a whole than it had been before? Before Zero had ever appeared. Or even before we had been sent to Japan?
forthward: (05)

[personal profile] forthward 2012-07-09 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
... it is. But there's something missing. There will always be.
veepofchess: (S- knight)

[personal profile] veepofchess 2012-07-09 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
You aren't entirely alone. There is someone by your side that loves you almost as much as I do. Though he may have already told you his identity despite my instructions otherwise.
forthward: (15)

[personal profile] forthward 2012-07-09 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[smiles a little] I know.

[Exasperated sigh, though it's a bit exaggerated] If that is the only order of mine that I left that he does not follow, then we would be fortunate.

Oh!

[She smiles.]

A cool kid is still a cool kid, even if he can't talk! I don't know how to sign, unless flipping someone off counts as a sign, but maybe you could teach me.

[Paradox space is a silly place, and far be it from her to be bothered by it.]
nocathere: (now you're getting it!)

[He purrs a bit, seeming completely unperturbed.] Vrim and frimble!

We might come from different universes. At home, I don't think death really exists...

damn right were still cool
but if you want to learn
im basically a master at it
i mean its either learn signing from me or learn signing from sis
either way a bonefide strider will give you the ups downs wriggles and waggles of asl
flipping someone off totally counts


[Right. He's getting carried away.]

were not in the same school
but whatever
where are you on the timeline
just trying to gauge whether one of us needs to bring the other up to speed

[ Going to take that to mean 'that's nothing'! ] You're in Conquest, right?
forthward: (08)

[personal profile] forthward 2012-07-10 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[:x oh brother]

... I think things are well. [aside from you know, the obvious]
