Assembly [Both Schools]
Characters: Everyone and allSunday dawns grey and raining with darker clouds on the horizon. Sudents and teachers alike will probably get a sense that something is wrong when they go to breakfast, the townspeople that work in the cafeterias look grim and work in complete silence as they hand out breakfast. All screens display the same message; Please may all students report to the Battle Arena at 12 Noon for assembly.
Format: Whatever you like
This log is: Open
Location: Battle Arena
Summary: The final assembly and the start of the final week of Rakuen begins. Players are announced as normal yet something is not right.
Warnings:
As you make your way from Campus to the Battle Arena you will notice stares from the townspeople. The same people who once went crazy cheering you in the tournament and smile at you kindly as you wander the shops on rest day look at you warily; some even pityingly.
Dunleavy looks as grim as you will ever see her. "I warned you last week, and I don't feel that I was serious enough... Perhaps I should have done more to explain to you the importance of what you do here, why you are here and for that I apologise." Dunleavy hated apologising but in this case she was heartfelt.
"I must stress to you how important it is that you keep fighting, no matter how hard it gets. Things may get a little weird this week but I have ever faith in you all. You can fix this. Fight as much as you can, make strong vows. Protect each other. Continue working towards your goal. You know by now we are limited in what help we can give you but we will do our best to help you if you come to us." She tried a smile, it failed a little.
"I am about to announce the Players of this week but first I want to give you something. Hopefully you will not need to use them but if you do... you will know when the time is right."
Day and Nanami move to the end of the rows to hand a box with what look like plain memory charms, touching them does nothing and they explain they are to be clipped to your charm bracelets.
Once they were handed out the screen appeared and flickered to life. "The Players for this round are, for Conquest: Ein, Cirno and Suzaku Kururugi. For Fortitude: Merlin, Nanami Asagi and Sora Himoto. Good luck and please heed my warning."
And after that ominous address that explained very little Dunleavy stepped back, she stuck around though in case anyone wished to speak to her.

When his name was called out again he looked for Vane and anyone else who seemed like they needed a Player.

Kaoru and Hikaru are together, as usual
The twins make there way through the crowd over to Suzaku, a little too excited for the present atmosphere. Then again, when were they not balls of energy?
no subject
Suzaku ignored the nickname but nodded at them as they approached. "Hello Kaoru, Hikaru."
no subject
"So, Suzi-kun! How about being our player?"

The twins give Suzaku identical grins.

After sitting there a moment, Cirno stands up on her seat and looks about before speaking, loud enough to hear but still very soft and nervous, "Anyone need a player, I'll take you."
She would stand there for a while, because after this, she had something she had to do.
no subject
Actually, that sounded like a lot of fun to Yuka. But it still felt like something was missing...
It was with such thoughts distracting her that she approached Cirno. "Would you like to vow with me again this time?" she asked quietly. She hoped the fairy wouldn't be upset about her vowing with Suzaku the previous round, but she'd thought it would be a bad idea to let him percolate too long.
no subject
"Of course Yuka. Why would I not want to?"
She was still shaken over the punishment and everything that happened last round but she wasn't going to hold it against anyone. The whole situation right now just scared and made her want to protect and help everyone she could.
no subject
Then she realized something. "Oh! I got something for you, but I didn't bring it with me. Can you come by my room this evening?"
no subject
It seems she's understanding the feeling around campus and town.
"Okay Yuka, I can do that. Hopefully not to hurt. I'm going to the tower after this..There's something I gotta do there."
no subject
"The tower?" Yuka was pretty sure Cirno had been avoiding those before. It must be something important. "Would you like me to come along?"
After Cirno vows with Yuka
"Um, Cirno? I know you don't really know me all that well, and I apologize for not getting to know you before now. I'm Aria."
Aria holds out her hand in hopes of a handshake.
no subject
"It's good ta meetcha then Aria. You already know my name so that works."
She's letting herself be a little bit silly, although she's still looking serious and nervous at the same time.
"Are ya a weapon? I'll protect ya if you want!"
no subject
"I will do my best to protect you in return!"

The situation was kind of worrying too, with the mayor sounding so serious... some of the people she knew seemed to be missing too. Were they asleep like she had been, or was it something else?
Well, there wasn't any point in worrying about it now. She'd heard her name called, but she'd been a Player at least a couple times recently, so it was probably her turn to be a Weapon. So who should she vow with?
Asagi... she didn't know him very well, but he seemed... a bit scary. She could work with people who were a bit scary, she'd certainly done so in the past, but... not this time, she thought.
Sora... they'd done well together in the past, but didn't the mayor say once they should form bonds with many different people? (If she hadn't, it still sounded like a good idea to her!)
So that left Merlin. His class left her incredibly confused most of the time, but she still liked him. Also, there were no other choices, but that wasn't as important.
"Hey, Merlin!" she shouted as she ran over to him. "Want to vow with me?"
no subject
"Of course," he smiled, "I promise to protect you whilst you are my Weapon."
Headaches; it was something he never got used to.
no subject
"Yes! Please take care... huh?" Sora broke off when she noticed that nothing had appeared on her hand.
...
"Ehehe." She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "I guess I'm a player again after all..."
no subject
no subject
...Here? Ein wasn't sure it was possible.
But there had to be someone from Conquest that would be his Weapon this week. He wouldn't fail this time.
Or ever again, if he had his way.
