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. ♥ ]

Suzaku stiffened a little when Lloyd threw an arm around him but didn't move for a moment, until Lloyd asked a question. Suzaku frowned and twisted out of the hold so that he could look at him in slight confusion. "Because that is your name Lloyd."

Of course Suzaku had been at Utopia academy for two weeks and understood very well how things worked, it must be one of his lost memories.

Had Lloyd forgotten his own name? Cécile looked at the man worriedly, nodding along with Suzaku. "Have you hit your head?" she queried, looking at him with concern. If he was hurt, that was distinctly less than good. Cécile herself was always very careful to avoid ever giving Lloyd any injury that might result in brain damage. Infuriating and mildly sociopathic as he could be sometimes, he was terribly brilliant, and it would be a shame to change that.

Reaching up, she patted his arm carefully, letting her hand rest on top of his wrist. "You haven't gotten sick, have you?" she continued. "You've been remembering to eat and sleep and haven't spent all your time on the technology in this place?"

"Is it?" Lloyd looked between the two of them. "That can't be right. It's..." His name was... no, nope. He was drawing a blank. "No, my head is fine," he grumbled and moved his arm off of Cécile's shoulders, shaking the hand off his wrist in doing so.

The Earl fell silent for what would seem for a long moment, a few minutes at most, as he tried to puzzle out what his own name was. That was ridiculous. How could he have forgotten such a thing? On the search for that answer, he found one or two other uncomfortably blank spots in his memory. He used to have a title. What had that been?

"I just go here, so no," he finally spoke up again. He would get around to neglecting food and sleep soon enough. It was inevitable and all three of them knew it. But for the missing name... "I can't think of it! How strange!"

Suzaku shook his head, "It's this place, they have stolen memories from everyone," his tone expressed what he thought of that. As if being kidnapped and brought to a strange world wasn't bad enough.

"We have to fight to earn tokens to buy charms to regain our memories. That's what this," he waved a hand at the screen looking vagualy annoyed, "game is."
