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. 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."

Seeing Sora greet him so enthusiastically like that without the faintest hint of recognition in her eyes... it was like Spain all over again. The only difference this time was that he was positive the Sora Himoto he knew was still in the city. So... more copies?

'Man...'

"Yuri Lowell, welcome to Fortitude."

"Thank you!" Sora smiled. Then a moment later, "So..."

... and trailed off. She'd just realized that "So, what's wrong with this place" wasn't really a good thing to ask someone you'd just met!

"... um..."

Sensing her uneasiness, Yuri's lips curved upwards into a wry smile as he resisted the urge to grin outright.

"Hey c'mon, being tongue-tied isn't like you." He remarked, voice cheerful as he adopted a more casual position. "If you've got a question, ask it. Last time I checked, I don't bite."
knightofwhat: (Surprised.)

Ah! He'd caught on!

Luckily for Sora, he'd also provided her with an out.

"... Uh, do you know me?"

It wasn't entirely an evasion either. It sounded like Yuri knew her... but she didn't remember anybody named that, and she had a good memory for names. Back home, she had developed quite a reputation, so it wouldn't be that surprising, but she'd just got here!
