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. ♥ ]

[Lyra's tried several times to get past the teachers to explore the rest of the area, arguing with the teachers in a tone that sounds utterly confident, only to be herded back into the crowd each time, until she decides to try asking her 'fellow students' instead.]

What's going on- have any of you even seen this place before?

[Mikoto really doesn't want to be bothered. After searching all this time, she found her brother and now, her brother is not here. She seemingly cut off all connection with all the other HiME and her friends. She was supposed to be fighting, defending her brother and now--]

[She hears the other girl's voice but ignores her.]
loyal_liar: (huh?)

[And Lyra notices the other girl!]

Hey... Have you even heard of this school before? If this is a kidnapping, it's a rather odd one.
awildcatappears: (gear up and suit up; almost ready)

I need to find my brother. [That's her only reply.]
loyal_liar: (What IS that?)

[personal profile] loyal_liar 2011-02-06 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
You think he's here?
awildcatappears: (draw my weapon; ready to fight)

I don't know. I was with him a second ago.
