On the platform: Meet the new characters
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"

It then hits her, as she bows in apology. Clearly, she was supposed to be here a little while ago, right? But she must have taken her time for some reason... and that reason right now is something she honestly can't recall.]
If I was supposed to arrive here sooner, I apologize for making you and Flynn wait!
no subject
Yeah, well, I'm sure he won't have any problem forgiving you. [A pause, and then a softer grin.] Nice to see you, Estelle.
no subject
It's... nice to see you, too, Yuri.
[She's also kind of confused as to why he's saying that. They just saw each other not too long ago, right?]
no subject
That was enthusiastic. Not happy to see me? [He teases.]
no subject
[Which is why she's confused.]
Of course I'm happy to see you.
no subject
Five months wasn't enough for you?
no subject
Has it really been that long?
no subject
Anyway, let's get inside. I'll explain everything there.
[ooc: LAAAAAAAAAAAATE. ;;]
no subject
I suppose an explanation would be nice.
[Especially since Yuri seems to know something.]
no subject
... which, admittedly? Isn't exactly a whole lot. The staff have been kinda unhelpful on that front. Even Dolorosa, kind as she is, won't say a damn thing about why they're here or how they go home. Once he's led her away from the main gathering, figuring the rest of the prefects can deal with the other new arrivals, he stops beneath the awning of a nearby tree and pauses to give her another crooked smile.]
Sorry, too many people in one spot. I like being able to hear myself think.
