Round 3, Day 1 [all characters and round announcement]

The storm doesn't let up through the rest day, but by the next day the power is back, the staff are looking moderately less nervous, and the weather is light enough that the usual announcement rings over the speakers in the morning.

"The announcements will start at noon. Will all students please report to the lobby for that time."

Umbrellas are now scattered around the campus at useful points, including the dormitory common rooms and the entrance to the school buildings. Helpful, because the rain is as heavy as ever today. When you arrive in the lobby, the screens are all lit and the receptionists are back at their desk and smiling at old students and new arrivals both.

At twelve o'clock exactly, a woman appears on every screen, smiling so cheerfully that several of the audience probably have an allergic reaction.

"Good afternoon to our new students here at Utopia Academy! Thank you for choosing to enroll with us for this, our first semester of the new year. Our battle system is the best in the world, set up for you, our students! I hope that you all had a fun journey here, and that you've all made some new friends! You're going to need them soon, so keep them close, okay?

"Good afternoon to our current students, as well! You all worked hard last week, and we're really very proud of you.

"Now, normally I would explain the rules, but you've all had a day to read the manual, and I'm sure you've met some of our helpful students since you arrived. Let's skip that! Besides, this week is special. That's because... Well! It would be difficult to fight in this weather, right? We're going to give you a break from battles. Isn't that nice? You can still fight each other if you want, but this week it's ~totally optional~.

"This week is a scavenger hunt! We're gonna give you a clue in a moment. The clue will lead you to a treasure, which you should bring back to our sages," the receptionists wave from their desk, looking a little sheepish, "And they'll give you the next clue! If you collect six treasures, you'll win the round and get a great prize, so work hard!

"Ah, one more thing... Players! You can have as many Weapons as you want this week. Winning battles or collecting Weapons won't count as a victory again until the next round, so have fun!"

She disappears from the screens, but her voice doesn't. "The first clue is... I must be broken before I can be used. What am I?"

The Player list scrolls onto half of the screens; the other half show the clue in flowing red text.

I've been there once, but then I forgot how to get there. [follows, this time grabbing an umbrella on the way] So you're like my saviour~

At least you didn't start swimming. [Takes one of his own.] I'm a Player this round too. I'm a bit curious to find out what this battle system is like. Would you like to be my Weapon?

I almost thought I had at first. [picks at his wet shirt]

. . . I. Sure. As long as you don't fall asleep on me.
kendobishounen: (looking over)

[personal profile] kendobishounen 2011-03-11 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[A smirk] I don't plan on it.
gingabishounen: (uhm)

[personal profile] gingabishounen 2011-03-11 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Good. It'd be kind of... [...yeah, not finishing that thought] How long have you been here?
kendobishounen: (soft smile)

[personal profile] kendobishounen 2011-03-11 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
If I do, I'll be in your hands. [This is how he trusts you, Takuto.] Just a week. I arrived last round.
gingabishounen: (am not blushing honest)

[personal profile] gingabishounen 2011-03-11 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha... I'll do my best.


Wako... isn't here, is she? I haven't seen her.

[personal profile] kendobishounen 2011-03-11 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
No, I've yet to see her. If you didn't see her on your tram, then she isn't here. [Maybe holding that umbrella handle a bit tightly.]

Mh.

Maybe she'll show up. Mizuno-chan and her sister are here, after all.
kendobishounen: (watching over Wako)

[personal profile] kendobishounen 2011-03-11 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Let's hope that it's soon.

[personal profile] gingabishounen 2011-03-11 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Or that we get out of here soon. What do you make of the fights?
kendobishounen: (Default)

[personal profile] kendobishounen 2011-03-11 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. That's why I want to find out. Forcing people to fight doesn't sit well with me. We'll find a solution.

Yeah, it doesn't sound much like back home at all... Though that announcement said it was optional to fight this week.
