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."

[ 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. ]

[ In complete contrast to the imposing figure of Golbez, Jade is small and as excited as can be, ready to answer any questions. ]

[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.]

America watched happily as he looked over all of the new faces. Sure he felt for them from being taken away from their homes. But he always did love seeing, and meeting new people. As such, he was positively radiating friendliness right now.

[And here is another Fortitude prefect, though she's not the 'official' greeting prefect this week. Still, she's turned up, and smiles awkwardly at all of the new people, waving at any that get called to Fortitude.]

[ 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. ]

[When not bothering the unfortunate prefect who called his name, Cheshire is walking between people's legs on his hind legs, not seeming to care who he scared or tripped along the way.]

[Lelouch makes his way away from the group after the announcements are made. There's a lot of prefects and not too many students. He really wasn't needed there anymore.

He moved stiffly, but he was putting a stoic face on his pain. But he had a conversation to have with Nunnally first.]

Nunnally, why don't we walk into town together? [Big smile!]
