Meet and Greet [intro #1]

As you all crowd onto the platform with your bizarre mix of faces, expressions, clothing and wild theories, you are met by two girls. Both are in uniforms that would match if not for the colour differences - skirt, waistcoat, and a light summer shirt that seems totally inappropriate for the thin layer of snow coating the station platform. Both have a beret with a crest - one's shows a sword, the other's a shield.

At the first lull in the chatter, the taller girl, her uniform red and white, speaks out over the crowd.

"Hey, losers!"

She explains, in short, irritated sentences, that they're prefects, representing the two schools in Rakuen. Santana, Conquest, she says, gesturing to herself with a smile that would be smug if she didn't look so annoyed to be out here. Nanami here is Fortitude, she adds, pointing to the pale girl half-leaning on her other arm. The girl nods.

"We're here to get you sorted and back to campus. If you wanna ask stupid questions, do it on the way. It's freezing out here."

The girl introduced as Nanami interrupts. "When we say your name, please move quickly and quietly to us."

"Yeah, then we can go back to the dorms."

They separate, moving to stand several metres apart, and both pull a list from their waistcoat pocket. Alternating, they start to read out your names.

At the mention of his name, he steps forward, hand raised. He nods lightly and then shrugs. What the hell was he supposed to do? Maybe he should just get a name tag that says 'HEY! My name is Dave.' but that was too much work and he frankly had no interest to get too friendly until he knew more about this place.
effortless: (gentle; I am a little tired)

[personal profile] effortless 2012-01-09 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know any Kanaya, I'm afraid... Hm, is it really so surprising? Well, never mind. You can speak with her when we arrive, if you think it will help.
effortless: (faint smile; it won't hurt a bit)

sob the prefects are useless

[personal profile] effortless 2012-01-09 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
The movement is enough, and she crosses his name out with a bland, "Thank you."

[Lithuania's quiet, considering.]

I think it would be better to treat them respectfully, if you have to use them as weapons. I wouldn't turn my back on someone who hated me in a fight.

[...Eight? 8D?]

Worst prefects jegus.

Wow, okay that was easy. He needs a fucking Staples 'That Was Easy' button for how fucking easy that was.

He just nods though. Yeah, no. If she doesn't want to talk, he doesn't want to try. They can figure it out later.

It would be nice to ask like...where he's staying though. Or something like that. Naw, he'll somehow figure this shit out. He has nothing better to do anyways apparently.

[Whale. Perhaps it's just a crowd thing. Feferi weaves her way through the crowd with a smile.]

I'm reely glad to see a familiar face going to the same place as I am. It's kind of hard, I think, not knowing anyone.
cullscuttlefish: (Default)

[personal profile] cullscuttlefish 2012-01-09 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Oh my cod! What's her name?

[Might want to stop her, Santana; she'll ramble.]
pysankya: (shy worried)

[personal profile] pysankya 2012-01-09 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, dorms, we are being taken to schools? I think I em a little old for school...

[He's slightly perturbed by the fact that he's struggling to picture Feferi making her way over in his mind's eye, but, well, he's new at being blind, maybe not being able to remember what people look like is a thing. He's too relieved to hear her getting nearer to be bothered too much.]

God, I'm so glad to s... Hear you. I guess. [his smile doesn't really falter, though! He moves closer to her than she's probably getting to him, and if he's a little hesitant when he reaches for her hand the only reason is that he isn't sure at all where her hand is.] Do you know what's going on, is this a dream bubble? [He is doubting this possibility more and more, but it still seems more reasonable than anything else he can think of.]

World History. ( He repeats it to himself to make sure he doesn't forget and thinks on it some. ) Hmm, I think so, yes.

Another question: Are you from here? Or are you from another place like myself and others?
cullscuttlefish: (u)(...)

[personal profile] cullscuttlefish 2012-01-09 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, what? Hear me? You can't --

[No, he wouldn't be able to see her with the greyed out eye sockets.]

-- oh cod. What the shell happened?

[It might be a blind-person thing, the moving in on her personal space. Terezi always did it, at least, but that was generally followed by inappropriate licking. She doesn't resist when he grabs her hand, though. That makes sense to her - if he can't see, then he obviously needs a hand getting around.]

[personal profile] sciioniic 2012-01-09 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
OK, this is gonna sound really dumb, but I don't know. I don't remember what happened. I'm just ... blind now, I guess. But it's okay, honestly it's kind of a relief, I always knew this was going to happen, and now it has, and I don't have to worry about it any more.

[he shrugs, still smiling in Feferi's general direction.]

And everything's so quiet now, it's great – seriously, my only problem right now is not having a glubbing clue what's going on, but if you're here then it's got to be some kind of weird dream shit, so it can't be anything really bad, right?

Sonic runs right up when his name's called. "Sonic here!"
straightupzorra: (what can ya do)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-09 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[wisest eight year old ever]

Treat your weapons how ever you want. There are two ways to win, be nice or play hard. Personally, I find being nice to be way too boring.
straightupzorra: (side eye)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-09 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Weepy and annoying.
straightupzorra: (shocked)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-09 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...Dolorosa? She's tall and has green blood and is way too nice.
straightupzorra: (wait what)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-09 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Wheelchair girl is Nunnally, I've met her. You're telling me she's a Empress and you're a Knight?
duchy: (left and right)

[personal profile] duchy 2012-01-09 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It probably depends on the weapon.
straightupzorra: (what can ya do)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-09 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[After a long, hard, look she gives in]

Fine. Players are those chosen to fight, Weapons are those who provide the weapons from their body. Battles happen, yadda, yadda. You get Raks for fighting or going to class and you can use them to but upgrades or memories or whatever Recette is selling in her shop.
straightupzorra: (who wouldn't trust me?)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-09 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
No, we all gotta play nice and look the part of perfect little school children to fit into some perverted fantasy.
straightupzorra: (quiet moment)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-09 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Santana looks around a bit before lowering her voice] Look, you can't leave but I know if someone I... was close to... was on the other side I would try to be there too, or bring her over here. But you can't, it's against the rules. What I can do for ya is tell Nanami and Dolorosa to keep an eye out on her and makes sure she's okay.

Tell anyone I gave you this offer and I will punish you.
straightupzorra: (come on over)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-09 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Got it. [she crosses the name off her list] Any questions?
straightupzorra: (who wouldn't trust me?)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-09 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Santana will later learn that she is royalty and momentarily go, oh shit I dissed an Empress, but then remember that they're in Rakuen and she holds the power]

[with fake cheeriness]
Well that's the spirit! Do you have any questions about how the game is run?
straightupzorra: (side eye)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-09 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
There are some really crappy weapons here sometimes. [she likes her own weapon though, and has learned how to properly use Day's blowpipe]
duchy: (left and right)

[personal profile] duchy 2012-01-09 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
What sorts of weapons are there?
