Fortitude Round 11 - Assembly
"Good morning!"
Dolorosa she ain't. Her second assembly of the day, Recette has learned from her height issues and is now sitting on the headmistress's podium, legs swinging.
"The headmistresses have a lot of work to do this week, and I'll be taking their place today. Um, I've been rehearsing all weekend and Conquest's assembly went okay so... I'll do my best!" She doesn't even bother looking at her notes this time, having checked on her PDA instead.
"Aww, you lost this time, but that's okay. I think it's nice for Conquest to have a chance to win, right? And you all did great against that bird on fire. When I had to fight that, my hair went up in flames and I had to jump in the lake... It was really embarrassing."
Recette, focus. "The Mayor wants to talk to you, so if I just... press this button..."
A minute of fumbling later, a prefect takes mercy on her and the screens start up to show Dunleavy sat in the kitchen of the mansion,
"So, you have opened the second tower and defeated the Firebird. No mean feat, so well done. I would like to congratulate Golbez and Suzaku Kururugi of Conquest, and Sora Himoto and Jake English of Fortitude for their efforts and all of you for your heroic fight against the tower guardian. I hope you enjoy your gifts."
"Another reward for you, another part of the legend," The parts that they had already heard on the train, the part she had told to Golbez and the part they heard after the first tower opened came up first on the screen:
"This is a very simple story that everyone knows. A Knight journeys to save a Princess who is captured by the Demon Lord. One time, the Knight reached a fork in the path. One road bright and safe, the other dark and dangerous, haunted by death. The Knight found something at the beginning of one of the roads. Something easily overlooked: a single flower petal.
It was a sign left by the Princess. Such a small sign, but the Princess had believed that the Knight would notice it. The Knight took the dark road with a glad heart, because the Knight also believed in the Princess. Showing no doubt, showing only trust. And so they were never tricked by the Demon Lord." Dunleavy smiled one last time, "Good luck for this next round!"
With that, the screens flick back, now showing the list of names. Recette forgets to read them out. Again.

She does, however, remember to point out that she brought doughnuts for everyone, which have apparently been stored in a crate for the assembly. She pulls it forward as the assembly ends.

"Another reward for you, another part of the legend," The parts that they had already heard on the train, the part she had told to Golbez and the part they heard after the first tower opened came up first on the screen:
This is a very simple story that everyone knows. A legend of a Princess, the Demon Lord who kidnapped her, and the Knight who fought to save her. The Lord had kidnapped the Princess countless times, but every time the Knight bested his challenges and rescued the Princess. No matter what tricks and ploys the Demon Lord used, the Knight would always triumph in the end.Dunleavy read a fourth part out loud as the words appeared on the screen.
In a faraway land, a Knight sought to finally defeat the Demon Lord that terrorized the people. Again and again they clashed, but victory mattered not for the demon always returned, darker and more powerful than before. After countless battles, the despairing Knight sought the help of an ancient Sage.
"How can I defeat the Demon Lord completely, save my people and my Princess, and live happily ever after?"
The Sage told of the one sure way to truly defeat a demon: the source of the Demon Lord's power lay in six beautiful stars, protected by six devils. Defeat the devils to gain the stars, said the Sage. Only when the Knight held the six stars could the Demon Lord finally be slain. Only when the Knight held the six stars could she return home.
Years later, in a faraway land, a Knight consulted a Sage and returned to the castle with new wisdom, but was too late to save the Princess. The land had been corrupted by the Demon King. As the land sickened, so to did the Princess. When the Knight arrived home, she was almost gone.
'I'll save your kingdom,' promised the Knight.
'I know,' said the Princess.
With those words, she used the last of her life, becoming the blade that had so often aided her Knight in the past. On the hilt was an etched bird, frozen in silver. Its eyes were stars, its wings light. The Knight held the sword close, and wept bitterly.
"This is a very simple story that everyone knows. A Knight journeys to save a Princess who is captured by the Demon Lord. One time, the Knight reached a fork in the path.

hey
our session was doomed
we had no choice
it wasnt like i scratched it
i mean sure
it was technically my beat mesa
but john was really the only one who could scratch it
the rest of u
...
Oh. Now he's confused. What was he doing during that time? How come he wasn't around to perform the scratch? Honestly, he had a huge gaping hole in his memory. All he knew was that John did the scratch but they all absconded before the scratch could pull them out of existence.
man
what the fuck
no subject
"Lost memory?"
He doesn't know or care what a beat mesa is or why John was the only one who could do it.
no subject
thats starting to get really annoying
because now im pretty sure im missing some important details
bluh
He's already forgotten what they were talking about. He's just kind of wrapped up in his thoughts. The huge gap of memories was still a little jarring to him.

Dirk shrugs and tries to look reassuring. Dave is up there near the top of his "To buy memory charms for" list, so.
no subject
[Considering how many he has bought and how he hasn't tried getting any back for himself...]
no subject
"I should go find Jane. Need to vow with her before someone else finds her and sweeps her off her feet."
no subject
how dare someone sweep her off her feet before you could
go swoon the ladies
Dave has nothing else to do. Probably go get food or sleep longer to be honest.
