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.

Shion took the memory charm and clipped it to his bracelet looking worried. He didn't really know what was going on, and his name wasn't called but he looked around for someone to vow with. After all if he couldn't help by fighting he could help by being a weapon.

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.

[frozenmemories]

The stares and the silence had the fairy worried and she was also quiet. She clips the charm onto her bracelet and pulls the broach off of her dress. This was bad...she could feel it and she didn't like it at all.

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.

Merlin noticed the stares and they made him feel strange. The assembly even more so and when his name was called he looked around for people who he could vow to. And Arthur.

[ecthelion]

Things being strange?

...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.

"So...what kinda weird things are gonna happen?" Because isn't this place weird enough as is? It was one of those moments of clarity that he has from time to time that pointed that out.

Asagi clips his charm to his bracelet, smoking as usual despite rules that might be in place. He looks around, waiting to see if anyone will approach him to be their player.
