Fortitude Round 12 Start

[mamarosa]

Dolorosa stands on her familiar spot on the podium flanked by Fortitude's prefects: Nanami, Lelouch, Yuri, Dave, Jade, Sora, John, Becca, Dirk, Jane, and Jake. The number of prefects just keeps growing and she smiles at each one of them, proud of how far they've gotten.

She turns her attention back to the rest of the Fortitude students, "Good morning everyone, I trust you have had a good and eventful round. By the extra raks in your pockets I'm sure you have noticed that you have won the round, for that I congratulate you."

"Special congratulations should go to Dirk for defeating Alex and Jade, Jade for defeating Dirk, Komachi for defeating America, and Dirk and Jade for winning the round," she pauses to applaud those who have won, "You have all come so far since the very first round, and I know you will progress further from here. Don't let anything hinder your progress.

"And for this round's players, I wish luck to:
Lelouch vi Britannia
Bubblecup
Merlin
Komachi Onozuka
Nanami Asagi
Sora Himoto

May you have a fruitful round."

Comments

[jurist]

Juri glanced up at the boy, a bit annoyed. It took her a moment to register his question, and another moment to think how to respond. Did she need a Player? She certainly didn't want one, but from what the handbook had said, the life of a Discard seemed worse. Still, to give a total stranger that kind of power over her... it made her skin crawl.

"I suppose I do," she said at last. "But..."

"If you don't want to fight, all I would like is enough Raks to get an upgrade. You can have full rights, of course." Shion would get all the picking, apparently, and only because he seemed so willing to be his weapon. Asagi liked to press his luck with people, but he also knew where to draw the line. Usually.

"It isn't about fighting or not fighting," Juri said irritably. "I don't mind about that. But... you're a complete stranger. We haven't even been introduced."

Of course, it wasn't as though she really knew anyone here or was likely to become friends with anyone in such a short time, but this still seemed a bit too abrupt.

Asagi offers his hand, "Nanami. Asagi Nanami. I would say that about all the newest arrivals here would be strangers. Even those here longer are still mostly strangers, unless they have people here from their worlds with them." Asagi's smile was friendly enough at least.

[jurist]

Juri shakes his hand, politely if unenthusiastically. "Juri Arisugawa. I suppose you're right, but still... I'd like a bit of time to consider."

[the_stand_cometh]

Asagi just shrugs, unfazed. "That's fine. If you need a player, let me know."

[jurist]

Juri nods. "I will, then."
