On the platform: Meet the new characters

[utopiamods]

For those getting off the train their first impression of Rakuen is one of dreary, overcast skies. Although it's blessedly dry, the platform is still dark from a previous rainshower. The gaggle of uniformed greeters there to meet you are armed with umbrellas and school coats: on one side, four students in black and green; on the other, five in red and white. Whilst those in green are all unremarkable humans - mostly teenagers - the red group are a tad more varied. That is to say, one of their number is tiny, a girl the size of a small child, and her wings are beating delicate patterns in the warm air.

When they notice the hiss of the train doors, one out of each group steps forward.

"Can I please have your attention," A blond youth in the red and white starts; he explains that they're all prefects of Rakuen, having arrived just like you have in the past five months. Enrolled in the two battle schools on the island, like you. Fortitude - a long-haired boy and the others dressed in green nod or wave - and Conquest, as he indicates his comrades.

"I know you have many questions, and we'll answer as many as we can. But first, we have to sort you."

The long haired boy stepped forward to read out the list for those entering Fortitude, "Estellise Sidos Heurassein and Koishi Komeiji"

[ He thought it was going to be more relaxing without any names to call, but apparently not. His tired-but-friendly expression has shifted until he just looks vaguely sick.

Princess no. ]

[straightupzorra]

[Guess who's here!]

[Your best friend, of course]

[She comes up to him and drapes an arm over his shoulder]

That your Estelle? Tough break.

[there's laughter on her voice]

[whitestknight]

[ ohi Santana. You are a terrible best friend and he is questioning his friend choices.





let's not lie he had no choice. ]

She's not my Estelle.

[straightupzorra]

[Oh no, Santana was far too bored to give him a choice.]

[But really, at least she isn't a criminal who kills people like your other best friend, that should could for something.]

Oh? Is she your Yuri's Estelle then?

[S M U G]

[mrdickery]

[And a call from where he's doing orientation...] What, she can't own herself?

[straightupzorra]

Oh hello Yuri. I see you managed to get your princess away from Flynn again. [cheeky grin] Of course she can't own herself, she's a princess and is there for the people, isn't she?

[mrdickery]

[Santana, y u so rood?]

Well I guess something like that is hard to understand when you live life like a puppet. [... Yuri no. Don't stoop to that level.]

[straightupzorra]

I have plenty of free will here and I can do most anything I want, I have no complaints of being a puppet to this town.

[firstaid]

[Of course she can't not say hello to Flynn! So so walks up to him, not really liking the expression he's making. Is he not feeling well today?]

Are you okay? I take it this is your duty to greet any of us that arrive here? Be sure to get some rest after this.

[Because, he can't be worried that she's here, right?]
