Assembly [Both Schools]

[musicalee]

Characters: Everyone and all
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:

Sunday 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.

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.

Suzaku sat near the back listening with a frown, he had never heard the mayor so serious even when she had punished him and Lelouch...

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

[wolfoutline]

"Have they ever been so serious before?" Vane inquired as he approached his partner, already glancing at the mark on his hand which signified their bond.

[swordofzero]

Suzaku shook his head, "Day is usually angry but they seem... worried." He looked up at Vane, "It doesn't sound good, whatever is happening."

Kaoru and Hikaru are together, as usual

[sensible_one]

"Hey~! Suzi-kun!"

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?

[swordofzero]

...

Suzaku ignored the nickname but nodded at them as they approached. "Hello Kaoru, Hikaru."

[mean_one]

Hikaru still flinched with a headache as his memory reset over his name. Again.

"So, Suzi-kun! How about being our player?"

[swordofzero]

Suzaku shrugged apologetically. "Yes if you wish to be my Weapons." He looked between them and nodded, "I promise to protect you both."

[sensible_one]

"We've got your back man. Promise!"

The twins give Suzaku identical grins.

[swordofzero]

He nodded at them, "Thank you."
