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. ♥ ]

"Not a Player this round, either." He stared up at the list of Players. Of the names on the screen, only Haruka Kuchinawa seemed a likely candidate to be his Player. And even so, Shoujou wasn’t really sure if that would be possible. With no Iwahijiri, the student council had no cause; the only binding force between the student council members was El’s influence – and Shoujou was never really quite sure what went on in Kuchinawa’s head anyway.
True, the other trash could probably be manipulated, especially since few of them found pleasure in Exaclan anyway, but Shoujou did not want to rush into alliances – nor did he have any intentions of having his Weapon used without good reason. His only motivation to accept a Player was use of the school facilities. He could, perhaps, find some use in his Tokens (at the very least he would need to restore the more irritating lost memories), but that could wait.
He was not especially pleased about the situation, but there were worse alternatives.
“What now?” Shoujou muttered, scanning the crowd of students for a face he recognized.

He wasn't a face she recognized.
