Round 1 [new characters and round announcement]

You're falling, and you can't remember why. It's a sickening feeling that makes your insides lurch; the darkness and the vertigo combine, and all you can think of is a story you heard once, somewhere.

- I remember now. It's a simple story that everyone knows. A legend of a Princess, the Demon Lord who kidnapped her, and the Knight who fought to save her.

The Demon Lord had kidnapped the Princess countless times, but every time the Knight bested his challenges and rescued the Princess.

No matter what tricks and ploys the Demon Lord used, the Knight would always triumph in the end. This was because--


The world tilts on its axis one last time, and the dream slips from your mind as easily as it arrived. A new voice intrudes on your sleep.

"Next stop: Academy Main Entrance. This tramline terminates here; all change. Next stop: Academy Main Entrance. All change."

Sunlight streams through the windows of the long carriage, making the seats almost uncomfortably warm beneath its waking passengers. The air is muggy and thick, the atmosphere deeply tired. Your nausea settles, slowly. The last of the dream fades.

"We have arrived at Utopia. Repeat, we have arrived at Utopia Academy. Could all passengers please leave the tram, as it is terminating here."

The tram pulls to a stop outside the academy station, and the students onboard are ushered off and directed to the front lobby of the school. They can't miss it; there are signs up pointing toward the main entrance, reading "New student orientation" in big, bright letters. If anyone should care to move off the path, try exploring somewhere else, a teacher will conveniently appear to shoo them back toward the lobby, assuring them that "all your questions will be answered inside".

The lobby is big and spacious, looking more like a university or perhaps a fancy international hotel than a high school. Stood around are any number of students in the uniform of the school. Some of them even look awake. There are several receptionists at the desk towards the back of the lobby, but for now they seem busy with paperwork.


[ Note: the round announcement will go up in a thread once you've all mingled. ♥ ]

For the second time that day, Utena gets bumped into. She's not one for hinting by throat clearing or attempting to wheedle apologies out of someone.

"Hey, watch it!" She says, bluntly.

He immediately feeds off that irritation, inciting his own frustrations further as he shoots a scowl over at whoever he bumped into.

"You watch it," Ed snaps back, barely pausing in his movements to give the retort. He's got authority figures to track down and harass. He doesn't have the time or patience to deal with someone else who might annoy him.

"No you watch it!" Clearly this is shaping up to be an intellectually gifted conversation. "And while you're at it, tell me where this is and why i've been brought here!" Herp derp derp we're here for the same reason but are too pigheaded to immediately realize it.

Without missing a beat Ed whirls back around on his heel to face the girl, setting a glare on her.

"Do you ever try thinking for a second before you open your mouth to talk? 'Cause I'm sure that if you did, you'd have already figured out that I don't know the answer to that!!"

No, she usually doesn't.

"Sorry about that! I guess we'll both have to try to find that out!" She says, her voice completely unchanged so despite her apology it sounds still as if she's arguing with him.

And she stalks off...right in the direction he's going anyway. She can be found arguing with the hapless clerk, gesturing profusely.
aureus_veritas: (WTF IS THAT)

That actually makes Ed pause for a moment, disoriented. What the hell just happened there?

He follows her movements with his eyes for a moment, just to see where she's going. Then his scowl is back when he sees her arguing with the clerk. He rolls his eyes and heads off to find anyone else who might have information.
