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."

[Hinata is almost knocked off his feet because wow is he light and incredibly used to getting knocked around.

Of course, when his boss knocks him around, that's just fine, but when it's some crazy robotic stranger--]

Where I'm going?? You nearly sent me into concrete! Where are you even going?? The train doesn't work.

[Well, he was going to carry on his angry way, but if this dumb kid is gonna talk back he's just fucking asking for it. Jack turns on his heel, glaring daggers.]

Then maybe you should stay out of the fucking way-- are you seriously buying that bullshit? We just got off that fucking train, of course it works! You're a goddamn idiot!

[missedflyball]

[Oh hey, this guy was a total asshole! Awesome!]

It's a one way thing! I'm used to this kind of bullshit, you can't just go back! You actually have to use some common sense and try to figure out what the hell's going on first!

[gottakilldaves]

Why don't you shut the fuck up, you loudmouthed brat!? I'll walk the whole fucking track if I have to! I don't have time for this school shit, but if you're so happy to give up already you can go ahead and fuck right off!

[missedflyball]

Hey, who said I was giving up, or even going along with any of this school stuff?! [He is so sick and tired of the forced-to-go-to-school thing, you hav no idea.] If you try walking down the tracks you're probably just going to hit a dead end, or an invisible wall or something. [Geeze, Jack, haven't you ever played a video game?]

[gottakilldaves]

What the hell do you think this is, a video game? [seriously]

Well shit, if you're not even gonna try then it looks like you're giving up to me! Have fun at your dumbass school!
