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. ♥ ]

Kitty was panicking. She didn't know any of these people and they seemed just as lost as she did, but that wasn't the biggest problem. She didn't have her powers and she was so used to having them.

When the crowd was exiting the tram and going on campus, she was pushed and jostled a bit. Not being able to go through them was distracting her a bit more than she expected it would.

Maybe she could go through this person?

No?

How about this one?

Sorry Utena, she may have just bumped in to you.

Utena was a physical person. Good balance and proprioception meant she did not fall over, even in the middle of stretching to her side. She whirled towards the source of the bump...
valleycat: (how sweeet~)

"Oh my god I am so sorry, I totally didn't mean to bump in to you," Kitty says about a mile a minute. She takes a second to breathe and stand up again before looking at who she bumped in to.

"Pink hair? That's so awesome!"

Passionate but quick to forgive was Utena, especially when compliments were involved. "Haha, thanks." She said, smiling and rubbing the back of her head. "I'm Utena..." That gap again. "Just Utena, I guess."

"Well I'm just Kitty then!" She laughed a bit and smiled wildly at Utena and extended her hand in greeting, "This is the check in place, right?"

Her handshake is firm but not crushing, not a meek, girly floppy joining of fingers and hand.

"I think so. What's this school called, anyway?"
valleycat: (as if)

Kitty's wasn't nearly as strong but it wasn't weak either, she was a trained fighter when it came down to it.

"I'm not sure, but it's not Xavier's that for sure."

"Or...Or...That's funny. I can't remember the name of the school I just transferred from." More rubbing of the back of her head, more vigorously this time.
