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."

The whole thing! I shrunk it down.

[She pauses for a moment, considering.]

Every session needs Time and Space, or else it won't work. You need Time to keep you on the alpha timeline, and Space to breed your new universe...
Well, I guess Dave and I will be your Time and Space players, then!

Whoa. [ Not that you can see behind his glasses, but he blinks in surprise. ]

The game's probably expecting your arrival. Wouldn't be much point in doubling up on the aspects.

[True to her word about giving Jadesprite another chance, she pulls her into her arms, patting her back gently.]

We should give her time to herself to feel better, then! Sometimes that's whats best.
frozenmemories: (Listening)

[personal profile] frozenmemories 2012-07-02 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
I know..I just dun wanna lose anyone else. I wanna know that the people I care about are still there where I can know they are okay...

[She turns in the embrace and hugs Becca tightly. In her mind, this was a way to keep Becca there and not to vanish on her.]

It's a Spacey thing. Or maybe a Witchy thing!

[Smile!]

Very likely! Maybe that's why your session is messed up-- half of it isn't there yet!

[ She looks a little startled, and takes a step back. It appears that she didn't pay much attention to the names being called off for Conquest. ]

Oh...sorry.

[ WELL SHE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY NOW so she's just going to stand there kind of awkwardly. ]

I guess I should have known.
greenspaces: (quietly impressed)

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-07-02 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
It could be any of us! I don't think it's wrong to assume.

It's fun! We have really cool classes. And you don't have to go to school if you don't want to, but you get paid for it.
greenspaces: short hair (sorry i let you down...)

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-07-02 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
N-no, you didn't, my name is Jade! But you must be from a different universe, or you're someone I don't remember because they took it away from me, I'm sorry...

[ Ow stop griping her wrist. ;n; ]
fracturedsoul: (i'll hold on to the memory)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Kind of jealous. I don't even know what my Hearty shit's supposed to be. [ Well, he has a bit of an idea but it's all jumbled up in his head because -- who told him all of this? He can't remember them, or the conversation he had with them, but he's sure there was something... ]

That's a relief. [ He doesn't like having such an important variable completely out of his hands, but now that he knows about it he can try to work with it. ] How long's it going to take you to get there?
sobsprite: (crying)

[personal profile] sobsprite 2012-07-02 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. If you think so.

Just to let you know... I don't remember much.

Woof.
witchofspace: (Default)

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-02 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
I don't really know either, but part of the fun is finding out I guess! I'm still figuring things out about my powers.

[Wow, Dirk was so different from Dave! She really likes him so far, though.]

It's gonna take three years or so in total; we'd already been traveling for a year before I got here.
witchofspace: (Default)

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-02 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. Someone told me our memories were the price for being here, so I'm having trouble remembering things too!

[She couldn't even remember how she ended up prototyping Jadesprite... thinking about it hard gave her a start of a migraine.]
sobsprite: (Default)

[personal profile] sobsprite 2012-07-02 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Sniff, pulls away.] What school did you end up in?
witchofspace: (3855043)

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-02 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Uhm, the one that started with C.... Conquest! Dave is in Conquest too.
sobsprite: (Default)

[personal profile] sobsprite 2012-07-02 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Me too! That's great! Maybe I can help show you around.
witchofspace: (Default)

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-02 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'd really like that! Does that mean we're gonna go to school together, too?
sobsprite: (Beggin Strips?!)

[personal profile] sobsprite 2012-07-02 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! This is gonna be cool! [wipes her face off and it's clear her mood is improving.]

[Wow, Jadesprite seems much more confident than she was back in the session.]

How have you been doing with the whole fighting system?
sobsprite: (urgent change of direction!!1)

[personal profile] sobsprite 2012-07-02 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Um. Not too good. I was picked to be a player as soon as I arrived and there was a tournament and I just refused. Players have to fight every three days or whatever and I just hid and people ended up taking a lot of penalties for it. I had no idea!
witchofspace: (Default)

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-02 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well, we can try and work together next time, ok? I read about the penalties in the rulebook, and it would be really bad to make more people suffer if we didn't participate.
fracturedsoul: (don't divulge until you're in control)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
I think we can hold out that long. Oh, you'll be pleased to know that time probably doesn't matter around here. Jake and Jane arrived after me, but they never noticed I'd been missing. Figure I should let you know while we're on the subject.
sobsprite: (Happy tier)

[personal profile] sobsprite 2012-07-02 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it was really stupid. My friends got me back on track though. Going to school is kind of weird. It's not something I've ever done before.
witchofspace: (Default)

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-02 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Me either. Dave says he'll help, though.
sobsprite: (Default)

[personal profile] sobsprite 2012-07-02 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's kind of fun sometimes! But the work is really hard.
witchofspace: (Default)

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-02 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
A prefect told me that earlier, but I'm glad to know that it's true first hand!

Oh! What dorm are you all in? I think I'm in Conquest.
