New Arrivals (All new characters)

You're falling, and you can't remember why. It's a sickening feeling that makes your insides lurch; the darkness and the vertigo combine, and all you can think of is a story you heard once, somewhere.

Ah, I remember now. It's... a 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 Demon 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. This was because--

The world tilts on its axis one last time, and the dream slips from your mind as easily as it arrived. A new voice intrudes on your sleep. Mechanical, monotonous.

"Next stop: Rakuen City. This train terminates here. The next stop is Rakuen. All change." The train rocks steadily. The sun shines through the window cheerfully and if you look out the window you will see rolling meadows full of spring flowers. Steam drifts past the window, it is warm. A mixture of sunlight and the heating of the seats, it adds to the dreamlike atmosphere.

It's strangely difficult to shake off the sleep; the rhythm of the train seems to lull you back into slumber and the air is warm and heavy, making it hard to keep hold of a thought. Finally, though, the nausea settles, the last of the dream fades and you can take in your surroundings. And, perhaps more importantly, those around you in a similar state. The train judders to a stop, through the rain lined windows there is a building and people gathered on the platform.

"We have arrived at Rakuen City. All passengers must leave the train. This train is terminating here. This is Rakuen."

A sixth sense? Surely there was no such thing... But Shion's knowledge of the world was beginning to stretch and he knew that more things were possible than he was aware of. "Has it ever been dulled before?"

"Have you ever had trouble smelling something?" For him it was much the same. Of course it had been dulled, but to be cut off like this? It was troubling.

"Trouble smelling something? Do you mean like when you are ill with a cold?" Is that what this place felt like to him.

"Close, but even worse. Right now I can't tell if it is just dulled or completely useless. I'll have to meet a freak or ghost, or something in order to tell." It really was frustrating. He did not like having any of his abilities dampened, but things could be worse.

"Oh..." That was really strange, and ghosts didn't exist. But Shion tried not to judge as it was obvious something strange was going on... "I guess we will find out when we arrive at this Rakuen place..."
