Assembly [Both Schools]
By Sunday morning the translation system was back online. Signs were readable to everyone and each screen ordered students to the Battle Arena for 12 noon. Prefects were sent out to make sure no one leaves the campus until that time and then gathered up everyone to take to the battle arena.
Once everyone was seated, the prefects taking up the first two rows, the staff appeared. All of them looked grim; even Recette who's usually cheery face was gone, Dolorosa had an expression usually worn by Santana. As they came to stand in a row in front of the students, it was Dunleavy that stepped forward.
"As I am sure you are all aware, yesterday there was an attack on the Exaclan system and the city of Rakuen itself. I first would like to apologise for the inconvenience and the amount of time it took to get the system working again. Luckily there was no permanent damage."
That was the easy bit, Lee blinked, they hadn't had any sleep at all, working until the early hours to help repair the system. Considering the six of them did not share a common language, it had been a difficult process. The next bit was harder; she hated punishing people. She always felt like she had no right to. But she did, she had taken on that right and responsibility when she became mayor and this was a serious attack.
Perhaps they had been too soft with them, experimentation and trying to cheat was one thing. But this was an entirely different category.
"We have, of course discovered the perpetrators of this crime." She nodded, sending Santana and Nanami to collect Suzaku Kururugi and Lelouch vi Britannia from the stands. They were both prefects which was disappointing. Lee would have hoped they would know better.
"Lelouch vi Britannia and Suzaku Kururugi were both found to be the ones that began the attack." Though she had a feeling she knew which one had had the idea. The other didn't seem intelligent enough.
At least they were responsible for each others wrong doings, and so Lee didn't have to punish an innocent.
"You have both been found guilty of attacking the city of Rakuen." She paused, because giving the accused a chance to speak was considered civilised in most worlds and cultures.

She watched the screen curiously when the names were shown and she shook her head and lay her forehead on her knees. Two people she knew and trusted were Players. She frowned, actually considering leaving before she could be seen to try and avoid everything. She knew that meant she'd be a Discard but at the moment, she just wanted to pretend that nothing bad had just happened.
no subject
Or at least, that was what she was trying to do, but the effect was probably somewhat diminished by the pensive look on her own face.
Lelouch and Suzaku... she hadn't had much contact with either of them, although there had been that amusing encounter in the rain. What had happened yesterday had been bad, but did they really deserve this?
On the other hand, they had nearly gotten her drowned. That wasn't something she could forget so easily.
Even more disquieting, however, was Lelouch's speech. She found that there were parts of it that she couldn't really disagree with. But were his actions really consistent with his stated goals? She wasn't convinced, and the discrepancy was deeply concerning in it's own right.
Also, those jokers had nearly gotten her drowned!

"I told you that things got bad around here...This is the worst I've ever seen. We've had letters talkin' about Terrorists and attacks on staff...But..."
She shakes her head and looks back to the ground mumbling to herself, "I want to finish this and go home."
no subject
"Hmmmm... But I don't know what we can do that we aren't already."
She paused for a moment before continuing. "Do you want to team up again this week? I don't know how good I'll be - if your weapon is like what I've seen you use back home, it's a lot shorter than I'm used to - but I'll try my hardest."
no subject
"Sure. I'm a short sword so it's kinda small...But I can make up with it in sorta long range. I got other rings too, I'll start taking them with me!"
She starts to smile like normal. She was pushing the bad out of her mind for now. This round would be better then the last and she'd do her best to make sure of it. She slid off of her seat and stood as tall as she could without flying any.

Cirno sheepishly shrugs a bit. It doesn't bother her at all anymore. She'd long since forgiven Sam and Golbez, understanding their point of view on the whole thing. She would not have fought willing with them if she hadn't!
no subject
Instead, she smiled back. "I see. Then should I say, let's protect each other."
no subject
"Makes sense to me! I promise to protect and use my abilities to help in that." She gave a little bow at the end of that. Someone is trying a bit to hard right now.
no subject
Still, Yuka had this strange feeling that she was forgetting to do something...
"Should we have another practice session? I'm sure I'll need it."
no subject
She isn't one to talk though. She'd only gotten a sword in battle a few times, and even then she didn't do well with them. And something missing? Cirno was too busy thinking on how to help Yuka with the sword.
