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. There is a group there to meet you: on one side, four students in black and green; on the other, four in red and white. Whilst the green group are all fairly average; all teenagers, 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.

When they notice the arrivals, one out of each group steps forward. A young man in red and white looking serious steps forward

"Excuse me." A second boy, with long hair dressed in green and black is just behind him. He explains that they're all prefects of Rakuen, from the two battle schools on the island. Fortitude - the long haired boy 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 Kaoru Hitachiin and Yosuke Hanamura."

"If I call your name," the green-clad boy had stepped forward again, "it means you're with Fortitude: Rose Lalonde and Sora Himoto."

Re: CONQUEST

Hand going up in response automatically, Yosuke punctuated his small wave with: "Yo, over here." before moving forward. Dressed in his Yasogami High school uniform, he'd made sure to tuck his glasses into his pocket before approaching. If only because he'd already noticed his kunai were missing and didn't want those confiscated too (or whatever.)

Once in front of Suzaku, his arms automatically folded over his chest as a typical expression of confusion and irritation crossed his face. "Sorry, but think you could tell me what's going on here?" He asked, voice calm as he gave the knight a brief nod by way of apology on his lack of manners.

Suzaku looked over and ticked off Yosuke's name, at least he seemed calm. Then again; no one had hit Suzaku this week, or cried, so far so good.

"You are in Rakuen City, you have been brought here to fight; as have the rest of us. Once we manage to solve the puzzle of the city we can go home or so we have been told."

The name Rakuen wasn't ringing any bells with Yosuke. Then again, he wasn't exactly a genius when it came to geography anyway so that wasn't really surprising. (Although any place that could kidnap people like this and get away with it probably wasn't on a normal map.)

"So this is basically a video game but in real life." He summarized feeling a familiar sinking feeling. Boy did that sound familiar. Shaking his head in exasperation, when he was finally able to swallow his irritation and move on, he met Suzaku's gaze straight on shrugged.

"Alright, where do I sign on to help beat this thing?"

[swordofzero]

Suzaku frowned, he hadn't thought of it that way, but he hadn't played video games since he was a child and playing racing games was different than fighting like this.

"You already have," he nodded at him. "I'm Suzaku Kururugi, it is nice to meet you."

[distractedfighting]

For a moment Yosuke regarded Suzaku with a searching glance, before grinning stupidly and offering him a hand. "You too, Kururugi."

Suzaku nodded in response, "I can answer questions you have, we will be going to the dorms soon."
