Round 3 [new characters]

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."

The sound of thunder and pounding rain jolts you the rest of the way awake. 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 anyone onboard is ushered off and directed through the rain -- sans umbrella -- to the front lobby of the school. You 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. The lights are all off; the large flat screens set into the walls are dark. A few staff members are standing around; they approach the new arrivals to take you to your dorms, assuring you that the round announcement will happen tomorrow.

((OOC: The staff will not answer any questions about what's going on; if asked, they will refer the new students to the Exaclan manuals that are included in their briefcases. Students don't have to follow the staff to their dorms; they can wander about the school if they like. In the rain.))
myblueskies: (of course!)

A small figure popped up from seemingly no where to stand next to Takuto. Romeo had came down to the lobby with Miss Sora when they had realised there were people coming in on the train and it was still dark and rainy and they might be scared! He saw a man stood looking drenched to the skin and a little lost.

"Hello sir!" He smiled brightly, "Do you need any help?"
gingabishounen: (what do you mean married)

[personal profile] gingabishounen 2011-03-08 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Blinking down at the newcomer, Takuto managed a sort of smile. "A... aaah... where is this, exactly?"
myblueskies: (i have the best idea ever!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2011-03-09 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Romeo gave another grin, glad to be of help to somebody. "Welcome to Utopia academy, sir! We've all been kidnapped, but don't worry, Miss Sora has an amazing plan to rescue everybody." Or at least Romeo assumed she did, she was always so certain that they would all escape.

"I'm Romeo, sir, would you like help finding your dorm?" Under Romeo's arm he had a collection of colourful umberella's to keep them dry when they went out to the dorm blocks.

"Kidnapped? Miss Sora?" he didn't know that name, but kidnapped? Really? It did make sense...

"My name's Takuto-- oh. If it's fine..." he wasn't up for settling in somewhere if they were kidnapped to it. It just sounded weird, why keep dorms for people if you've kidnapped them?
myblueskies: (smiles all round)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2011-03-10 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hello mister Takuto!" He grinned and began to lead the way to one of the desks to learn that Takuto was in White Dorm and then he led the way out of the lobby handing Takuto a bright orange umberella. "Yes, no one knows how they got here but we aren't allowed to go home, and they stole our memories. Ten of them." He tried to hold out ten fingers but struggled seeing as he was holding an umberella in one hand.

"So we have to fight to win tokens to buy back our memories, Miss Sora is one of the students here, she is really kind and wants to save everybody. You will meet her soon!" He had no doubt about that, Miss Sora knew everybody.

"Just Takuto is fine," he retorted as he accepted the umbrella and-- "...memories?" He blinked. So that's why he felt like something was missing. He didn't like it.

This kid seemed really cheerful though, which meant it couldn't be too bad of a place. And fights. He was used to those. At least he hoped he'd be able to handle this.
myblueskies: (happiness)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2011-03-10 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Romeo nodded and smiled, though it was strange that adults here were happy just to be called by their names. Still Romeo grinned again as they walked through the rain to the white dorm. "Yes ten memories, I can't remember how to read or write or my friends names from home or..." or the vow of eternal friendship he had made with Alfredo. That was a sad thing to forget. "But we will get them back, don't worry!"

"You're on the second floor," Romeo led the way to the stairs. "Your bag has this uniform," he plucked at his own uniform, "And the rule book."

[personal profile] gingabishounen 2011-03-10 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ten memories... right. Thanks for telling me," he then glanced down at the other's clothes. "So it's really like a school then. But why kidnap people?"

Somehow, it didn't feel too different from his own school... well, aside from the fact that he never enrolled here. He figured the rule book would hold more answers, though. Arriving at his (apparent) door, he turned to Romeo again. "Thanks. Did you want this back?" He held out the umbrella.
myblueskies: (happiness)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2011-03-10 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"No it's alright, the rain might go on for a bit and I've got loads," another smile. "Yes it's a school, we learn lots of stuff but the most important part is the fighting."

He smiled again and flung open the door. "Here you are mister Takuto!"
ninjasloveme: (explain; that is not how this works)

do you guys want to switch to actiontags |D;;

[personal profile] ninjasloveme 2011-03-10 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Flung open the door Romeo did, only to be faced with a frowning, silent Gaara. The severity of the expression was lessened somewhat by his shower-damp hair and neat uniform, and the slight puzzlement as he turned from folding his other uniform on his bed.

He'd been vaguely considering heading towards the main hall in case a meal was being served, but apparently the day had other plans for him. His gaze fixed on the two boys who had just opened the door to his room, and he tilted his head slightly as he regarded them both unblinkingly.

"... Yes?"
gingabishounen: (Default)

totally fine by me!

[personal profile] gingabishounen 2011-03-10 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[blinks] Uhm... I-- was told this was my room...
myblueskies: (of course!)

Re: totally fine by me!

[personal profile] myblueskies 2011-03-10 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Romeo looks a little worried by the stern faced man in the room but he managed a smile though it wasn't quite as wide as before.]

Good morning sir! [He still sounds cheary] This is mister Takuto, he is in this dorm, he just arrived!
ninjasloveme: (blank; naruto I killed sasuke for you)

\o/

[personal profile] ninjasloveme 2011-03-10 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Good morning. [He sounds a little bemused, but that's more because he's still not entirely sure how to not intimidate kids. He listens to the explanation, then blinks slowly at Takuto before holding out a hand.]

It's nice to meet you, Takuto.
gingabishounen: (Default)

[personal profile] gingabishounen 2011-03-10 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... [shakes his hand] It's nice to meet you too, er... [your name, you did not give it]
ninjasloveme: (surprise; the hell is this)

Gaara. [shake shake! Once the formalities are out of the way, he indicates the room, with its five beds. One has slightly rumpled covers and a uniform folded on the end, and for some reason a plate on the floor next to it. Mikoto. :|b He nods to it first, and another, with spotless covers but a half-empty glass of water still on the bedside table.] Only those beds are taken. You can take any of the others.

[personal profile] myblueskies 2011-03-10 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Romeo smiled and stood silently when they shook hands, a very adult gesture. When he thought they were finished he looked back to Takuto and grinned.]

Will you be alright now mister Takuto?
gingabishounen: (sweet determination)

[personal profile] gingabishounen 2011-03-10 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay. [just two other people then...]

[turns to Romeo] Ah... yeah, thanks. And it's fine with just Takuto.

ninjasloveme: (blank; navelgazing)

[personal profile] ninjasloveme 2011-03-10 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[nods, and looks at Romeo briefly. When Takuto is finished, he adds:] You can wait here until the rain stops, if you want to.
myblueskies: (hope)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2011-03-10 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Romeo looks out at the endless black clouds] I don't think the rain will ever stop, sir! I have umberellas! [He is quite enthusiastic about umberellas, Miss Sora told him what they were, he had never seen them before!

He moved to the door with another smile.]
I better go see if theres anyone else who needs help!
gingabishounen: (Default)

[personal profile] gingabishounen 2011-03-11 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[really cheery, that one]

You sure you'll be all right?
ninjasloveme: (tiny smile; this is my naruto face)

[personal profile] ninjasloveme 2011-03-11 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[he'd offer to help, but Mikoto should be getting back at some point and he can't just disappear on her. BROTHERLY RESPONSIBILITIES ARE SRS. Talking to Takuto also takes precedent.

So, another nod. AND A SMALL SMILE. gosh.]


Thank you for your hard work.
myblueskies: (soo happy)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2011-03-11 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[The small smile gets a huge smile in return as Romeo turns at the doorway. Though there's a look of awkwardness, he's not actually used to being thanked for anything.]

Well it's all dark and wet, we didn't want people getting scared! See you later mister Gara, mister Takuto! [Another smile and he dissapears out of the door bounding down the stairs happily not actually bothering to use the umberella's as he runds back to the lobby]
gingabishounen: (kissing through the glass?)

[personal profile] gingabishounen 2011-03-11 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
[looks at the remaining empty beds to pick one, and incidentally chooses the one beside Sugata's without realizing it. plopping down on the bed]

So... this is an academy for... fighting? I didn't really get why...
ninjasloveme: (organised; meeting to order)

[personal profile] ninjasloveme 2011-03-11 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
No one has been able to answer that yet. [it's just a suggestion, one of his many ideas, and it's said absently, as he closes the door and goes back to his own bed.]

We are expected to fight, but they seal our natural abilities. The system is unfair, as though we are meant to fight against it, rather than each other, but...
gingabishounen: (Default)

[personal profile] gingabishounen 2011-03-11 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
. . . so . . . there are people here with powers or something?
