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."

Oh no, what kind of work?
fracturedsoul: (offer me the future and take it back)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ At least he hopes it is. There's still the slim possibility they're from a slightly different version of his universe. But he so doesn't want that to be what's going on. ]

Fortitude. [ He gestures to the shield pinned to his beret. ] Both the Daves're there too.
fracturedsoul: (don't commit to anything at all)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ 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. ]

Oh! Did you see my timelines Dave around? He came off the train with me-- he got called for Conquest, too.

[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.]
fracturedsoul: (that you never really had a choice)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Damn, that guy staring is suspicious. Anyone staring for that long is just suspicious. Which, yeah, makes Dirk suspicious too.

After a few minutes of that, he approaches Jack. ]


Dirk Strider. Fortitude prefect. And you are?
fracturedsoul: (place on me the burden of the past)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Ah-- no, I didn't. [ This place sure has it out for Striders and Harleys. ] That's good. It makes it easier to settle in if you've got someone you know around.

It's been a year since I've seen him, so it'll definitely be fun!

[She grins.]

I'm also really excited to try out school for the first time ever, but I gotta admit I'm even more excited to finally meet you guys!
fracturedsoul: (tempt me with the secrets that you hold)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ He smiles back, slightly. She's not too different from the other Jade. ]

School ain't all it's cracked up to be. It's a pretty big disappointment, to be honest.

Meeting our predecessors is pretty exciting for us, too. I'll send Jake and Jane your way when I get a chance.

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-02 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Really? It always sounded so fun when my friends described it.

[But that nugget of knowledge doesn't damper her good spirits!]

I hope we can all get along well.
fracturedsoul: (place on me the burden of the past)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs; well, maybe she'll enjoy it. ]

I doubt we'll have a problem.

It's been nice talking to you, but I've got something [ a corpse ] to pick up. See you around, Harley.

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-02 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Bye! Nice meeting you, Mr. Strider!

[She waves.]
gottakilldaves: (the knives don't have your back)

[personal profile] gottakilldaves 2012-07-02 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, now the pointy shades kid was walking up to him. He adjusts his hat, standing a little straighter to try and look more imposing (the robotics help, the fact that he's short as shit probably doesn't).

Dirk Strider, huh? That sounds like the least important name he's ever heard. It's so unimportant the last name slips his mind not even a second later. What a boring guy.]


Jack Noir. Conquest. [he doesn't actually give a shit about this school thing, but it's pretty fucking badass that he can just add "CONQUEST" to the end of his name there]

... Have we met?
fracturedsoul: (don't divulge until you're in control)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ His eyes narrow under his awesome pointy shades. This. This is Jack Noir? That's so incorrect Dirk doesn't even know where to begin. ]

Don't think we have. S'my job to greet the newbies. Consider yourself greeted.
gottakilldaves: (i wear my eyepatch when shit is SRS)

[personal profile] gottakilldaves 2012-07-02 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[He grumbles something under his breath, maybe a sarcastic "thanks" or "nice to meet you." Fuck this weird kid.]

Where'd you get those stupid looking shades?
fracturedsoul: (pic#3913774)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not wearing any stupid-looking shades.
gottakilldaves: (because youre a fuckass)

[personal profile] gottakilldaves 2012-07-02 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
The ugly fucking triangles on your face, dumbass! Where the fuck did you get them? [yes jack being an ass will make people tell you things]
fracturedsoul: (that you never really had a choice)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said stupid, not rad.

[ He might not look like Jack Noir, but this attitude is familiar. ]

I got 'em from a friend.
ferriedmemories: (river mist)

[personal profile] ferriedmemories 2012-07-02 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably best to go then. Somehow I'm near flat broke now.

[seriously have you seen how much money she must have]

I just thought it was odd since I'm several centuries old and all.
ferriedmemories: (resting)

[personal profile] ferriedmemories 2012-07-02 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Rowing, apparently. They must be psychic or something, because it sounds perfect for me.
gottakilldaves: (DON'T FUCKING LITTERRRRRRRRR)

[personal profile] gottakilldaves 2012-07-02 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
And who's this friend of yours?
fracturedsoul: (you just want to punch his face)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
What, do you want a pair of your own?
gottakilldaves: (ANGRY DANCING)

[personal profile] gottakilldaves 2012-07-02 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I wanna know where the fuck you got them from! Are you gonna tell me or not?!
fracturedsoul: (pic#3684045)

[personal profile] fracturedsoul 2012-07-02 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope.
