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."

I think they might be a bit mixed up. I've heard both.

[frozenmemories]

Most teachers are students too. I'm just a student though which is kinda funny I guess. Whatcha teachin"?

[ferriedmemories]

Rowing, apparently. They must be psychic or something, because it sounds perfect for me.

[frozenmemories]

Sounds cool! I'd attend but...Kinda in the wrong school for that.

[ferriedmemories]

Ahm. Maybe there's a way to transfer.

[frozenmemories]

[She shook her head no.]

I would have if I coulda. All my friends are at the other school and I tend to end up a weapon to someone over there most of the time anyways. I mean..Until she disappeared, I ended up being Marisa's weapon when she was a player!

[That last part was said as if it was no big deal.]

[ferriedmemories]

That's too bad.

Marisa... oh that's right, the witch! She's here?

[frozenmemories]

She was here. She disappeared a few rounds ago along with another girl named Alice.

I got their memory charms and upgrades left behind.

[She holds up a an upgrade charm from a chain on her wrist, the Master Spark one to be precise]

[ferriedmemories]

Well, it's not unlike her to run off like that.

Alice... Alice... huh, doesn't ring a bell.

[They never met during Hisouten. At least she's not getting a headache.]

[frozenmemories]

[Lucky. Cirno starts to get a headache, trying to remember if Marisa or Alice was like that or not but quickly stops and shakes her head.]

I can't remember myself...but I think it's 'cause the memories that were taken.

[ferriedmemories]

Huh? Well maybe that explains why I can't remember a few things. I work for Yamaxanadu-sama, but I can't remember what she's like, for instance.

[frozenmemories]

I guess so. Until a friend got me a charm, I didn't remember where home was. So things get kinda weird if ya don't remember somethin' and someone else does.

[ferriedmemories]

A friend got you one? Couldn't you have gotten it yourself?

[frozenmemories]

I dunno. I haven't really worried about it until now...I just went and got all my upgrades first. The better ya are, the more likely the chance of winnin' and that means more chances ta get stuff back!

[ferriedmemories]

What kind of stuff?
