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."

"I've never heard of anyone named Sora."

She sighed.

"Very well. Are you here to show me to my dorm then?"

[swordofzero]

"Oh..." Perhaps it was a different school. He nodded, "I am, according to the list you are in the Red Dorm, in the room I used to be in."

[moorecowbell]

"Very well," she said. "Lead the way."

She held out her bag for him to take, as though he were a servant.

[swordofzero]

Suzaku blinked at the bag, and decided to ignore it instead leading the way. "Our campus is quite close," he told her politely.

[moorecowbell]

She holds it out for a moment longer, then gives an exaggerated sigh and follows after Suzaku. Goodness, how rude!

"There are two dorms in each school, in Conquest they are Red and White." He gestured to his uniform to explain the reason. They were soon at the dorm and he gestured at a door. "There is a small living area there, all the bedrooms are upstairs."
