On the platform: Meet the new characters

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."

Dirk turned an eye to Izumi as he approached. This guy at least seemed like he wouldn't be any trouble. Lucky Dirk, getting stuck with platform duty on a nice, easy week like this.

"Any questions?"

[personal profile] remitter 2012-08-16 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Several, of many different varieties, but I won't trouble you with the bulk of them presently."

Izumi looked around for a moment and brought a forefinger to his chin.

"I wonder, though, if you know someone named Asagi. He's one of my coworkers, and I can smell him from here, or at least someone who smells similar enough to be interested."

((OOC: Oh God I forgot I didn't have any icons put up. I will work on that while we do this awesome thing called introductions. *jazz hands*))
fracturedsoul: (that you never really had a choice)

Dirk would have answered, but the way that question was phrased made him pause and raise an eyebrow. After a moment, though, he nodded -- they'd never met as such, but he did like to keep an eye on his fellow Fortitudians.

"He's a member of Fortitude, too. Lucky you. Not everyone's fortunate enough to have someone they know around right upon arriving."

Izumi nodded.

"That will be all for now. Thank you very much."

He gave Dirk another smile.

"While I'm certain that our time together will be limited, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. And in the same manner that I will be asking you for information once things settle down, I hope that you will come to me should you require my assistance. It's the least I can do."

"Of course." Gee, what a nice guy. Dirk didn't seem particularly moved by Izumi's show of generosity, but then, he was rarely moved by anything. So it was nothing personal. "Working together's how we're gonna get out of this mess, so I appreciate the offer."

Izumi gave one last nod and fell silent, looking quite relaxed for someone who had just been transplanted from world into another.

"Hmm... Calm. Let's go with calm. Serene implies total peace, which obviously isn't the case, but calm suffices."
