On the platform: Meet the new characters

[utopiamods]

Rakuen is warm in the noon sun, not humid enough to be uncomfortable but bright enough to make the transition from train to platform momentarily disorienting. The group greeting you is rather large, but also rather uneven - on one side, ten students in black and green; on the other, six in red and white. Whilst the green group are all fairly average, all teenagers other than the tiny, frail woman leading them, the red group are a tad more varied. One of their girls is tiny, the size of a small child, and her wings are beating patterns in the warm air. At the other side of the group, a warlike man looms over his comrades.

When they notice the arrivals, one out of each group steps forward. A young man wearing shades steps forward first.

"Excuse me." A second boy, a few years older and more serious looking steps forward from the red group. He explains that they're all prefects of Rakuen, from the two battle schools on the island. Fortitude - the boy in the sunglasses and the others dressed in green - and Conquest. They all arrived just like you did, weeks or months before this.

"I know you have many questions but first please come to the person who calls your name."

He looks down on his list to double check "For Conquest, Nanami Kiryuu, Hukaru Hitachiin, Madotsuki and Aria."

"If I call your name," the green-clad boy had stepped forward again, "it means you're with Fortitude, a.k.a the slightly more awesome school. Brittany Pierce, Jules de Ferrier, Izumi and Furiae."

No, she definitely doesn't remember...but if you told her she'd been here before Santana then she's probably going to believe you. Because you would never lie to her about something like this. And Britt was definitely willing to do anything to see her friend! B and S could never be separated for too long.

"Yeah, I did see you earlier! We are at Senior Prom and my dinosaur theme was the best ever." Britt keeps her arms wrapped around Santana too and that's probably a good thing because you're going to see a pout if you pull away. "We're in opposite schools? But...how did that happen? I don't want to be in a different school from you."

It's funny that you think Santana would ever want to pull away, "Senior Prom? That hasn't happened for me yet. I'm sure your dinosaur theme was awesome though. Who did we go with?" Santana smiles lightly at the thought of going to prom with Brittany but she can't bring herself to outright ask if they went together.

"It doesn't matter what school you're in, you can stay with me in the prefect dorms, no one will give you any shit over it, and if they do you let me know and I'll set the record straight," she leans in conspiratorially, "I'm kind of in charge around here."

She never wants to pull away? Good. That's good. "Yeah, it was so much fun! We all performed at it too! All the Glee Club was there...although Rachel, Finn, Blaine, Kurt, Puck and Becky were very, very late. Oh and Blaine wasn't very happy because I banned hair gel but really hair gel wasn't even invented at the time of the dinosaurs. We both went together of course." Yes, they went together but to the best of her knowledge they only went as friends.

Britt laughs a little at Santana's comment, "You're in charge? I mean of course you are, I'm not surprised! I'm so happy you're here."

She wants to ask about Puck and Becky going together but first she throws her head back and laughs, "You banned hair gel? Oh my god I wish I could see Blaine without hair gel. Did he throw a fit? Tell me Kurt wore a dress or something. Who won prom King and Queen?" She's still smiling and laughing, but underneath that she's super upset that she missed prom, or at least that prom hasn't happened to her yet. It sounds like a blast.

"Well someone needs to run the place. I'm the Head Prefect of Conquest meaning there are two people above me, the Headmistress, Day, and the Mayor, Dunleavy. Day is the Weapon to my Player, meaning that I'm pretty much in charge of her, and Lee goes crazy when she hears music so she's easy to manipulate."

Yes, that was a little strange, even Britt thought so..that is until she found it cute even if they did look strange with those cardboard crowns on. She giggles at the images, "Yeah, he looked like a caveman he had a proper afro. I think he looked better that way but he didn't agree. No Kurt didn't wear a dress this time...but he did have a top hat on! Finn and Rachel won but you were nominated for Queen and I was nominated for King! Oh and there was a Prom Miracle! You were singing with Quinn and she just got up out of her wheelchair!" Yes, so many stories to tell you Santana.

Britt laughs again whispering into Santana's ear, "I still don't get all of that...but I still have to read the manual. So it won't be long until you're running this whole place then, huh? I wouldn't mind having you to boss me around."
