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."

[speak to Dolorosa here]

"Yes!" Sora's delight is both audible and visible from her spot on the stage as her name is read out, and she instantly scans the room for her friends. Over the weekend, she's been hatching a plan, and this means she can put it into action immediately... if they agree to help, anyway. Buzzing with badly-hatched plans, she jumps down from the stage.

"Again? Huh, this might get troublesome..."

Welp. Time to find weapons.

[Merlin listened to the assembly and looked at his hand, no mark appeared which meant the king wasn't a Player this time. That meant he had to look for a Player, he walked round the room looking for anyone he knew.

Someone might want to tell him his name is on the board, forgetting your own name is a pain.]

Shion had spent the day before looking around and reading the manual. From what he had been told by those on the platform he had been here before. That made no sense as he couldn't remember anything but very little made sense at the moment and he was trying not to think about it too hard. His brain wanted to shut down every time he dwelt on why or how he was here.

However from reading the entire manual and memorising it Shion understood that there was a way out of here, a way back to the correctional facility and Nezumi. Through battling, the only issue was Shion couldn't fight.

You can use a gun... Shion tried to silence the voice in his head, he was wearing the uniform now and he was free of blood though his face was still bruised.

His name wasn't on the board so he looked around, wondering if anyone would take him as a Weapon.

Having spent some time reading the manual and trying to make sense of the system—which was familiar in so many ways, and yet so different in a few key particulars—Juri had been half-hoping to hear her own name in the list of Players. At Ohtori she had been a duelist, active and in control, not a weapon to be used by someone else. Except for, well, that one time. And that experience was not one she was eager to repeat.

But of course the list came and went with no mention of Juri, and as the Headmistress finished speaking, Juri couldn't help slumping a little in her seat. She wasn't looking forward to this.
