Meet and Greet [intro #1]

[utopiamods]

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.

[Why are they naming off countries? ...Nope, better ask.]

Why are you calling out countries?

[sciioniic]

[Sollux doesn't actually get as far as hearing his own name called out before he's distracted by Feferi's, and cooperating with these people immediately takes a back seat to finding her. She's dead, after all; he wasn't expecting to be able to see her again any time soon.]

[or, well, ever, if we're going to be pedantic about it. He's going to have to make more of an effort to dispense with the vision-based turns of phrase.]

Wait – [he raises his voice a little] FF? Are you here?

Locked - for Santana and Nanami

[straightupzorra]

[They stand side by side as all of the new students pile out of the train, some in groups, some alone. Santana has her arms crossed and Nanami leans on her lightly for support]

[Santana scoffs]

These are our new students, huh?
