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.

spoiler
i dont actually care
but it apparently annoys you that i corrected you
so my job is done

Dave doesn't answer for a bit and just keeps walking. Egbert...? Egbert. Who the fuck was Egbert? She asks as though he knows this person which means he had to have known who this was. But...why doesn't he recognize the name? He stops walking, rubbing his temples. It hurt trying to think of who it could be. Dave knew he was forgetting something. Someone. He just...he didn't know who that name belonged to.

He glances over at Vriska quizzically.

[fabricates]

Vriska waited for an answer that was obviously not coming. She stopped when he did, turning and staring him down expectantly. And when she still didn't get an answer, she rolled her eyes.

"Seriously? You're not going to tell me? What, do Pyrope and you have some pact to keep me out of the loop? Not that it would be surprising, I wouldn't put a bitchy move like that past her."

[knightime]

He shook his head at the mention of Terezi telling him not to spill. Hell, he didn't actually care about telling Vriska anything. He was just completely mystified as who she were referring to. Did she mean...what was his name anyways?

He furiously typed into his PDA and showed the screen to her.

as much as i would love to blame this escapade on pyrope
she isnt here
and
i dont know who youre referring to

He felt oddly empty admitting that because he knew he should know this. But the longer he tried to figure out who it could be, the more his head pounded. He winces a bit and rubs his temples again.

[fabricates]

Her eyes skimmed the text, widening and then narrowing at the incredulousness of such a statement. Vriska's patience, what little she had, was worn down by this point. How could anyone forget John of all people?

"You have to be kidding me. John Egbert? Your 'best bro' or whatever it is you call each other? Don't tell me you actually forgot that. I know humans are stupid, but come on."

[knightime]

He looks slightly surprised. Well, if surprise can be seen on his face, it's there.

wait
no
i remember him
how the fuck can i not remember him???
but
i cant remember his name

And now he's thinking. He can't remember Rose's name either. Or Jade's. He was pretty sure that of all the things he couldn't forget, it would be the names of his best and closest friends. Dave suddenly scowls. Fuck, this place was messing with him.

[fabricates]

She rolled her eyes. This was stupid. What kind of person forgets names? Then again, she couldn't remember how she died or who killed her. But that was still less ridiculous than forgetting the name of someone she'd know for sweeps.

"Well, just for your information, it's John. Try not to forget it again. I'd be inconvenient to have to keep reminding you."

[knightime]

Dave was already writing John's name down in his PDA. Perhaps he should start keeping notes. He doesn't know what else he might find out that he's forgotten.

Once he's sure he's saved it, he starts walking towards the shop again.

noted and accounted
no reminding necessary

idk why what was there twice lmfdkhskj

[fabricates]

She took up walking again when he did, rolling her neck and cracking stiff joints before she glanced at his PDA again, which was quickly becoming an aggravation. It'd be a lot easier once she could text back and not have to keep leaning over to look at it. Not that she really planned to contact him regularly after this, but whatever.

"Good. Where the hell is this place even at??"

I saw nothing. I saw nothing

[knightime]

He stops after a minute or two and points down the street. It's probably obvious which one of the buildings is the shop.

you can get it there
theres some other stuff related to this exaclan bullshit
but the pda and upgrade shit might take most of your raks

Which means there will be some battling required to get raks back.
