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."

Conquest

[ Golbez simply stands there, folding his arms over his chest once he's done reading the names from his clipboard, and waits for the new Conquest arrivals to approach. ]

Fortitude

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-06-30 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ In complete contrast to the imposing figure of Golbez, Jade is small and as excited as can be, ready to answer any questions. ]

[ COMING OVER TO YOU hi Golbez 8D ]

Why aren't you wearing your t-shirt?
stoppedhiding: (dramatic and pretentious keyword)

[personal profile] stoppedhiding 2012-06-30 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
In addition to being an eyesore, it's several sizes too small for me.

[ He pauses and glances down at Jade. ]

It seems another of you is arriving.

[Hello, have a girl completely not respond to any of the names called.]

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-06-30 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think if we traded, the backs would change too?

[ Mrrrrph she noticed that. She sighs. ]

I know. I don't think I want to talk to her. [ Jadesprite blamed her for a bunch of stuff, what if this Jade blamed her too? ]
stoppedhiding: (r u for real)

[personal profile] stoppedhiding 2012-06-30 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It might be interesting to test.

[ Aha. A sore spot? ] Fortunately for you, you should not have to.
stoppedhiding: (dramatic wind-blowing pose etc)

[personal profile] stoppedhiding 2012-06-30 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Luckily, he knows what Jade looks like. He approaches her. ]

Jade Harley.

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-06-30 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you want to? Mine is way too big!

Shouldn't, but... [ But she's a Jade... ] I should be nice. I'm a prefect. Even if she's not in Fortitude, it's my job.
witchofspace: (Default)

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-06-30 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[She blinks, ears twitching.]

I think my name is Harley, but I don't remember ever being called Jade!
stoppedhiding: (contemplative)

[personal profile] stoppedhiding 2012-06-30 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
All right. Once we're done here, let's do that.

[ He just glances between the two Jades.

Honestly he'd probably want to avoid another him if one ever showed up, so he can kind of understand. ]


The decision is up to you, Jade.
stoppedhiding: (frown!!)

[personal profile] stoppedhiding 2012-06-30 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ So those are real ears and not an accessory? Not really much of a shock, what with Jadesprite being around.

Golbez sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. ]


Harley, then.

My name is Golbez. I am a prefect for Conquest, the school to which you've been assigned.
greenspaces: (sweetest smile)

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-06-30 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It sounds really fun. What color is yours?

[ She nods, and puts on a smile. ] Thanks, Golbez. You're a really good friend!
stoppedhiding: (uh...)

[personal profile] stoppedhiding 2012-06-30 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Bright yellow. [ Such a color should not exist in nature.

...he glances away from Jade, back down at the clipboard. He doesn't know what to say to such an inaccurate statement, so he doesn't reply. ]
greenspaces: short hair (we look out for one another)

[personal profile] greenspaces 2012-07-01 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs. ] Orange is a little better, but I like yellow too.

Are you okay?
stoppedhiding: (bunnies in the moon)

[personal profile] stoppedhiding 2012-07-01 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I'm fine. We should focus on helping our new charges, Jade.

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-01 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
This place is called Rakuen, right? How did we get here? And I've never been to school before...

[She is both EXCITED and CONFUSED at the same time.]
stoppedhiding: (r u for real)

[personal profile] stoppedhiding 2012-07-01 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is. As for your other question, nobody is quite sure. What we do know is that we were chosen to take place in a battle game called Exaclan, and to ensure our participation ten of our memories have been sealed away.

You were given an instruction manual in your schoolbag. [ He gestures to the bag she has. ] I recommend reading it thoroughly.

[ He's really bad at people. ]
witchofspace: (Default)

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-01 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
What about back home, though? I mean, I have 2 years to spare, but John and Davesprite will be lonely!

[She blinks and opens up the bag, fishing out the manual.]

Are these clothes for me, too?
stoppedhiding: (r u for real)

[personal profile] stoppedhiding 2012-07-01 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
It's likely that your friends will not notice your absence. Time seems to stand still in our homeworlds while we're here.

Yes, they are. It's also mandatory to wear your school uniform during the school day.
witchofspace: (Default)

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-01 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Good! I don't want to make them worry or anything.

[She stares down at the clothes again, pursing her lips a little.]

Can I still wear my own shoes and socks? I like my stripy socks. And how long is a school day?
ferriedmemories: (resting)

[personal profile] ferriedmemories 2012-07-01 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
So, it's just you and me, huh?
stoppedhiding: (bunnies in the moon)

[personal profile] stoppedhiding 2012-07-01 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps, but I wouldn't recommend testing the system.

About eight hours long, starting in the morning and ending in the afternoon. Players and vowed Weapons are permitted to leave class two hours early.

/quietly calls her harley instead of jade so she doesnt flub in the future...

[personal profile] witchofspace 2012-07-01 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Eight hours...?

[God, Harley doesn't even know if she's ever even sat still for eight hours straight before.
And she used to think school sounded so cool when her friends talked about it!]


And what kind of fighting are we supposed to do?

[She's glancing through the handbook.]
frozenmemories: (Stoic)

Off to the side moment

[personal profile] frozenmemories 2012-07-01 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Cirno was standing with the other Prefects, just watching with a serious look on her face. She could not help but wonder who out of the newcomers would be the next to leave. She was still rather upset after another friend had disappeared and was not looking forward to trying to make friends with anyone with that fresh in her mind, But she was willing to attempt. She was looking to see if she knew anyone but nothing was triggering anything and she highly doubted it at this point.]
