Round 16: Fortitute

[mamarosa]

Seemingly for once it's sunny during assembly, Dolorosa hopes that the nice weather will keep up. As per the usual, Dolorosa is up on stage with her Prefects and she begins her assembly exactly on time, smiling over them.

Once the crowd realized she was ready to begin and quieted down, she started her speech, "Hello again, I hope you all had a good round. I would like to start out by apologizing for the recent disturbances, it was merely a glitch in the system. Every once in a while the system will scan and search for the students, but this time it deemed there to be too few students and compensated for that. There is no need to be concerned, it has all been taken care of," if her easy smile is anything to go by, then really everything has been taken care of. For now.

She gives the students a few moments to discuss this among themselves before continuing on, "Sadly we did not win the round this time, but that is no reason to be discouraged, I know that you all tried your best and were a bit preoccupied with the system ghosts. It is nothing to worry about and I'm sure we will do better next round."

The screen behind her flashes, "The Players this round are Sora Himoto, Shion, and Merlin. I wish you all luck."

[speak to Dolorosa]

Merlin blinked in confusion as his memory was reset and looked around in confusion. What had Dolorosa said?

He looked around to see if he could see Komachi, she was usually good at letting him know what was going on.

[ferriedmemories]

She is...

...oh. Asleep. Awkward.

[secretlyuseful]

Oh... Merlin peered at her before reaching down to shake her. "Are you alright Komachi?"

[ferriedmemories]

"...zzz...wha? Oh, no, I'm fine. Just getting in a powernap is all."

[secretlyuseful]

"Did you not sleep very well?"

[ferriedmemories]

"No, I sleep fine. I just like to sleep."

[secretlyuseful]

"Like your friend?" The king liked to sleep as well, but he at least managed to stay awake through meetings and such.

[ferriedmemories]

"Nowhere near that much. And I wouldn't say she and I are friends, more like... acquaintances, I guess."

[secretlyuseful]

"Ah alright then." Merlin nodded, he knew how that went.

Shion had been trying to forget about the strange spirits he had seen, and he was glad to hear it had just been a glitch in the system, that he understood. Just a glitch, something wrong with the programming.

When his name came up for the second week in a row Shion didn't mind too much, after all Alex's name wasn't up there and he was hoping that either him or Shion could be Players in order to protect Becca when she helped open the tower. He looked around to see if he could see his friends.
