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."

Wow, you must be from way outside.

Shinigami are responsible for managing death.

We might come from different universes. At home, I don't think death really exists...
ferriedmemories: (resting)

Ah, there might be a reason for that.

A long time ago, all the youkai, shinigami, and such were herded into a small area of Japan, which was then sealed off. Now it's called Gensokyo, and normal humans can't get into it.

The residents of Gensokyo just call everything outside it "the outside", which is what I meant just now.
greenspaces: (surprised)

That's so weird! I'm pretty sure that you don't exist at home, because we don't have an earth any more. Or we do, but no one's there. I've been in lots of places on it since everyone died.
ferriedmemories: (whaaaaaat?!)

What the?! If something like that had happened I'm sure I'd have heard about it! And severely overworked, too. Then again I was always severely overworked.

I'm pretty sure we're from two different universes then.
ferriedmemories: (well about that...)

I don't really understand that kind of thing, but I'll just take your word for it.

[After all, Gensokyo has always run on (dis)belief.]
greenspaces: (gleeful | do you like ice cream?)

Sorry. It's super confusing.
