Meet and Greet [Intro #2]

[utopiamods]

You are brought to your campus and shown to your dorm rooms before you are given permission to wander the campus and the town. Meaning Fortitude students can mingle with Conquest students, they can go visit the shop (shop post will be up later today), or speak to the headmistresses and mayor. Each student now has the Exaclan manuals, a uniform, a school bag with either a shield or a sword on it, and the glove used to pull weapons.

But make sure to come to the battle area later to see the exhibition match! 

Take advantage of the free day, the freedom won't last long. Sooner rather than the later the round will start, Players will be named, Weapons will lose their privileges, and the battles will begin. So you might as well go out and make friend or start rivalries, anything to help you along later in the round.

Comments

Conquest School

[duchy]

[Lithuania is looking a bit awestruck, walking the halls of the school. It's far more elaborate than anything he's ever seen; Lithuania can't identify half the materials the building is made of, let alone some of the things inside of it.

He's peering into classrooms as he passes them with barely-restrained curiosity.]

[babygotback]

[And suddenly, there'll be a hand reaching over to lightly tap him on the shoulder.]

Hey...

[straightupzorra]

[Santana is patrolling the school making sure no one is trying to destroy anything yet]

You lost?

[mamarosa]

[This older troll woman is someone you did not see at the train station when you first arrived. She is the Headmistress of Fortitude and wears a peaceful and friendly smile. She will greet all students of Fortitude and when they start wandering the city she will go along with them and greet all of the Conquest students of well.]

[She is the friendliest person. Back with the previous group of students she would win rounds just by being the Player Weapons wanted to be with.]

[drawsdeath]

[Becca stares at her the moment she sees her. Trolls are so pretty! Definitely in a creepy kind of way, though. But she's also the Headmistress of Fortitude...that means Becca definitely needs to talk to her. She fidgets nervously, then clears her throat.]

Ah...uhm... Could...I ask you a couple of questions, please?

[duchy]

[Exploring the town is an experience, to say the least, but even in a place full of new, somewhat overwhelming things, the woman stands out. And, being so absolutely full of novel experiences he can't hold any more inside, he blurts out the first thing that pops into his head.]

You're another troll.

[effortless]

[Nanami returns once they're all at least pointed in the right direction. And because they're still surrounded by people, she's on her best behaviour.]

Good morning, headmistress.

[drawsdeath]

[Becca is wandering around the school, awestruck by almost everything. Her old school was nothing like this, and it's amazing seeing such a clean and well put together school. It actually looks like people here care, and that's amazing.]

[tenwholeryou]

[You know what's not amazing? Being surrounded by foreigners and people in stupid clothing. And not having your dog. The latter is Kotarou's focus right now; he's running around, calling a name.]

Tobimaru! Tobimaru!

[kingofpoisons]

[Conquest students will notice the smiling woman at the front gates as they arrive. She is eating an apple. She looks a little bored but says hello to people as they pass, or offers comments about their looks, or dress style some of them quite mean... it's how she shows affection, promise.

This is your headmistress but she wont offer that information if you don't ask her, she thinks it's obvious.]

[duchy]

[Lithuania pauses to watch her--she seems more at home than most of the people wandering around, and she seems to be staying by the gate. He approaches after a few moments.]

Do you live here? Before we got here, I mean?

[veepofchess]

After everything that had gone on since he'd arrived, he was glad to be rid of that costume for the time being. So he wore the school uniform of this place, as strange as it was. He walked from the Fortitude dorms toward the town. He was going to know as much as he could about this place, at least until he found a way out of it.

[drawsdeath]

Becca is wandering around town as well, and she nods to the boy as she passes him. He's from her school, by his uniform, right? Becca is still in her clothes from home, but she's carrying her school bag, with its shield emblem clear for everyone to see.

[swordofzero]

Suzaku didn't get changed. He was not planning on staying here, he was so confused though, the confrontation on the train had given him a headache.

He left his room and walked out the gates, he looked like he had a purpose but he didn't, not really. Not past finding a way out of here and working out what was going on.

[drawsdeath]

What an odd outfit, Becca thought to herself as she passed the cloaked boy. He obviously hadn't changed for school yet, but then, neither had she. "D'you think you're a wizard or something?" she asked, commenting on the cloak.

Conquest infirmary

[bloodbrother]

Finally, sweet relief. It was fortunate that Sam had discovered that he was employed here, and not being forced to go through high school all over again. But he pushed those memories away. He'd drawn all the blinds and all of the curtains, so now dark shadows were cast across the rooms. He left the door open, though, in case anyone wanted to stop in. He had fixed his shirt and tie, now that he wasn't so overheated. He had his lab coat on, and his suit jacket hung off the back of his desk chair.

He angled his seat so he could be plainly seen from the door, and he had his nose in this so-called manual he'd been given. This thing was much more useful than his supposed 'prefect'. Thinking about her dragged his eyes out of the book and onto the pink sneakers he wore that were currently kicked up on his desktop for all to see. A strange memento, they were. But it reminded him that once upon a time she would have been the kind of person he would have pursued.

[shakes]

H-hello?

[He has stopped in the door, not sure if it is really okay to enter with the room dark like this.]

[babygotback]

[Marik is pretty much wandering everywhere in the town without a care in the world, since he's awe-struck by just about everything, whilst taking care not to bump into people as he rushes by. Or at least, he tries to.]

Wow, this is fantastic! If only big brother and sister were here to see this too...

[drawsdeath]

[One of the people he bumps into falls down to the ground with a soft cry of surprise. Becca is just that easy to knock over. She starts to get up again, dusting herself off and trying not to wince too hard.]

Fortitude

[savedbyasong]

Shion got dressed into the uniform mechanically, he didn't understand what was happening and how he could be here. He knew everyone else was just as confused as he was. He had decided the best thing was to do as he was told for now.

After all he was used to that, distant and mostly unknown authority figures telling him what to do. After sitting on his bed for a moment he stood up and left the room to go and explore the campus. He smiled at people he passed them, just because he was confused and scared didn't mean he should be rude to people.

[drawsdeath]

"Hello again," Becca offered, smiling gently when she saw Shion. She knew she'd confused him on the train, but that didn't mean she needed to be awful to him. Of course, she didn't realise he was a him. "You'd look cuter in the uniform skirt, though," she pointed out. Becca herself had yet to change.

Outside Conquest

[herplaceinthesun]

[Aisha's changed into her uniform (no other clothes yet, not much of a choice, and it's pants until she can find tights for the skirt) and has somehow managed to get a huge sub sandwich, which she is eating none too gracefully. She's sitting in on a tree limb, watching people pass, and looks pretty happy.]

[trollofthree]

You got food already? [Gino's changed too, transferring his badge of rank to his Conquest uniform. He's wearing the skirt over the trousers and man is it fabulous.

Plus, being tall he can peer up at her without cricking his neck too much.]

That's priorities for you.

The City

[hairoftheweek]

[You may see Ramona walking around town, seeing what there is to see. She may or may not be accompanied by someone. This is really a big place. She isn't quite sure where to start.]

[mamarosa]

I don't mean to be rude, but how did you get your hair that color?

the city!

[hugling]

[Teddy is sitting on a bench in town, alternately people watching and playing with his new PDA. He's wearing the jeans and hoodie he arrived in, even though it's pretty cold. He looks pretty friendly, and it would totally be a good idea to say hi c: ]

[bedtime]

[ Oichi sees him, and hides behind a tree, peeking out at him. She is careful to run from tree to tree, hiding herself as best she can, and she's pretty oblivious to how much of a sore thumb she is. After all, in this weather, you'd think someone would wear pants. But she doesn't seem to mind it at all.

Eventually she ends up plopping down on the bench an arm's length away from him. She peers at him curiously, and says: ]

Hello... what's your name?

Conquest, Outside

[formerly_known_as_prince]

Utena's shaking, but whether it's from the inadequate coverage (summer uniforms! and it's snowing!) or from what she's reading, it's hard to tell. If this is correct, she's to participate in an obscene parody of the dueling game back at...at her old school. Which was itself an obscene parody of the knightly custom of a lady's favor at a tourney. It was like nested Russian dolls of obscenity.

She held back vomit and bile and punched the nearest wooden surface.

[knightime]

He watched her quietly for a moment. There's a slight eyebrow raise behind his glasses before he approaches the other. He didn't know what was upsetting her, but he was pretty sure that punching wooden surfaces isn't exactly anyone's idea of fun.

Might as well and try to be friendly.

Around Conquest

[independencesong]

[Estonia is doing her valiant best to appear unphased by the mess she's been thrown into. Inner storm, outer calm, if nothing else, because she's freaking out, just a little. She's still carrying around the rule book from her bag, and flips through it every so often, as if the words will reveal something to her. Eventually, they will, she's certain. It's just a matter of knowing exactly what she's looking for and how to use it.

For the moment, she'll be exploring, and perhaps not-so-subtly staring at the computer room, whens she comes across it, in awe.]

[duchy]

[Lithuania is having a similar reaction to the computers but for the somewhat different reason of having never seen anything like those in his life.

As it is, he'll sneak between her legs and pad inside to compare the PDA he bought from Recette (for the sole reason it seemed neat) to the computers, since they're... A little similar, sort of. Anyway, he's poking the computer like he can't decide if he wants to break it open to look inside or press all the buttons.]

Outside Fortitude

[knightime]

Dave was back on the grounds after looking around the city a bit and buying himself his PDA.

He would probably head back out soon though since the city looked like it was worth getting a feel for. For now, he was going to look around the school while he fiddled with his PDA. He already felt a little more at ease having the small electronic device. Anything comfortable in this place was worth relishing, considering he hasn't seen his friends anywhere. The friends that he can't even name at the moment.

[fabricates]

Vriska figured it was about time to confront the one human she did recognize. Not that she was looking forward to talking to Terezi's human, but she could swallow the annoyance of it if only because she really wanted to know where he got that PDA. She neared him, cocking her head to the side as she looked him over once. She had a feeling this was going to be a pain in her ass. There was a reason she only talked to John.

"Hey, Strider. I know you didn't show up with that thing. So tell me where you got it."

The City

[pysankya]

[Ukraine is taking his time, wandering through town and investigating the shops and a few of the bookstores now that he's settled into his new place. It's all very strange but he's liking the little town so far.]

Re: The City

[countryofassholes]

[Next to one of the bookstores that Ukraine might have just finished browsing is a cafe with an outside seating area. There, at one of the tables, is someone dressed in the male version of the school uniform and drinking a cup of tea.

Britannia's been doing the whole exploring thing too but figured it was time to take a break when she saw the cafe. After all, she can't remember the last time she ate anything, so here she is. When she sees Ukraine going about, she smiles and strikes up a conversation simply out of the desire to talk.]

Having fun?

Pale dorm, 1-A

[traces]

[ After walking around the city for a while, Dahlia has returned to her room. She sits down on her bed, sighing.

This city sure is an interesting one. It's not the sort of place she would have chosne to come to, but for now it's definitely better than back home. ]

[hugling]

[Teddy has also just returned from the city, and he opens the door without knocking.]

...Oh. Sorry, uh. I didn't know anyone was in here.

[why is there a girl in his room? D:]

closed thread with Ruka

[dreamcandies]

Road was taking in the new sights across campus and town, her bag slung over one shoulder and hanging open and crooked across her back. This was a lot to take in, and she hadn't even paid attention to half of it. What was on her mind? Whether shorts or a skirt would look better on her in regards to the uniform. It's a terribly complicated choice, you see.

So when she sees Ruka coming towards her, she drags her heels as they cross paths and comes to a stop while turning back to her.

"Hey, yo~u!" She calls out.

Re: closed thread with Ruka

[untraditional]

Ruka immediately turns to look and see that she's talking to her. There's no one else around, so... she figures the girl must be talking to her. She's a little flustered, unsure if there's something off about her that would make her call out.

Ruka says: "Eh? Um, hello."

Pale 2-A

[koyo]

( After checking out the city some, they can return to their room. Settling in is made easy by the fact they don't have anything to move in.

Spain will be on one bed, going through one of the drawers to see if he can find anything. So far it's just a book and a pretty boring looking one at that. )

Re: Pale 2-A

[veepofchess]

[Lelouch returns to the room after changing out of the Zero costume in the washrooms. It was a risky maneuver, but one he had to attempt. So he came back into the room with it all stuffed into his school bag. Somehow, it fit. He hoped it didn't look too weird when he put the bag into his cabinet and locked it.

It wasn't until he'd done that that he'd turned to Spain.] You're staying here, I presume?

[honkhonkwoof]

[ Gamzee's having himself a bit of fun before heading back to his room, dorm, whatever it was called. And fun for him is simply watching everybody. There's so many different looking people, tiny kids and tall men. They're all human, too; from what he can tell. The colors wash in and out, fading and blurring, and he doesn't know how long he's been sitting around. He got a PDA, he at least knew he should get something to talk to his friends with, but he hadn't bothered to use it yet. ]

[bedtime]

[ Oichi wanders after encountering Teddy, and she absentmindedly starts to stare at Gamzee. He's tall and strange looking. Approaching, she touches his arm from behind and digs her fingernails into his skin. ]

Ah! You're soft... you're grey, but you are made of flesh just as Ichi is... Ichi thought, just a little bit, that maybe you were made of stone...
