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. ♥ ]

"O-oh. Um. But Players can have more than one."

He shifted his weight onto his prosthetic leg. He had no real reason to refuse. At least in this case he actually knew Mei. Not extremely well, but she was at least a familiar face. So he shrugged, making a face and scratching at the back of his head.
"I... guess. If you want."
Even as he said it, he had the distinct feeling that he was going to regret this.
no subject
Or else there could be impending warning penalty fail. That would suck.

"Right. So in that case..." He took a deep breath, facing her fully as he slipped his hands into his pockets. He was going to regret this. But at least she'd stopped grinning at him like a lunatic. For now.
"I promise to protect you, Mei."
no subject
With that cleared up, she moved back to the business of arrays.
"When do you want to check out the clocktower?"
