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.

Ugh, fine. Do you have any other questions?
straightupzorra: (side eye)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-07 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Look, the more you know about this place the easier it will be on all of us and the more ahead of Fortitude we can get. Now get to asking.
untraditional: (i hate this)

[personal profile] untraditional 2012-01-07 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Then... um... how did we get here? I was with friends before I woke up, so how did that happen... that's all I want to know.
straightupzorra: (arms crossed)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-08 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Hold up, there are two questions you can't ask. One is how did we get here or who brought us here and the other is how do I get home.
untraditional: (huh???)

[personal profile] untraditional 2012-01-08 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see... I'm sorry. Could it be, um. That even you don't know why...? Or is it maybe... top secret?
straightupzorra: (internal monologuing)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-08 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
There are things that I don't know and things that I'm not allowed to tell you. All of those are things that I don't know, even if I want to know them.
untraditional: (scared)

[personal profile] untraditional 2012-01-08 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Is that so... then can I ask, um. Why we're here? What are we supposed to do here...
straightupzorra: (come again)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-08 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
We're here to battle. Look, this may not be what you want to do but if you go along with it, life is much easier.
untraditional: (crying)

[personal profile] untraditional 2012-01-08 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ruka instantly stiffens up at that, and anxiety fills her body. ] B-battle? Fighting? That's bad... it's really bad. [ She starts to tear up. ] It's not going to be safe here, then...?
straightupzorra: (wait what)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-08 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my god are you really going to cry over the word battle? Really? Look, the battling is kinda real and kinda fake, it's not that bad and it's not that unsafe here. The battling is all about the system, the more you battle the safer you'll be.
untraditional: (unsure)

[personal profile] untraditional 2012-01-08 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm very sorry... I'm just scared of something like that, so don't be angry with me. It's reassuring to know it's not going to be unsafe, so thank you very much.
straightupzorra: (side eye)

[personal profile] straightupzorra 2012-01-08 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
So you're like, always like this, aren't you?
untraditional: (huh???)

[personal profile] untraditional 2012-01-08 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh? Like what?
straightupzorra: (side eye)

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