Fortitude: Round 1

When characters wake up the next morning there will be an announcement on all the screens. "Please report to the lobby at 12 noon for important information about this round." Anyone who is not in the lobby by twelve noon will most likely be found by the prefects and taken there by force.

When the characters turn up in Fortitude Lobby they will see the woman they saw battling yesterday, they may recall her weapon to be a shield, fitting for Fortitude. She is standing on a raised podium, looking relaxed, with Nanami by her side. "I hope you slept well," she says with a friendly smile, "Today marks the beginning of the first battle round. If your name is called you have been chosen to be a Player for this round. Those chosen as Players are given all of their rights and can grant rights to the Weapons they vow to. Unvowed Weapons, known as Discards, do not have rights and have to do whatever the prefect," she motions to Nanami, "tells them to do. This may not seem fair to many of you, but these are the rules of Rakuen and they must be obeyed.

I'm sure you've all read the rule book and are familiar with the vowing process, but for those who are confused, I will briefly go over it. Vowing means to promise to protect then, when vowed the Weapon will have a possession mark appear on their hand. As Fortitude students, your mark will be a shield. Only when vowed are Players allowed to give Weapons rights."

Throughout her speech, her forever peaceful smile never left her face, "I believe you will all be good Players to your Weapons, even if it is not required of you. We will be watching what you do and any disregard for the rules will be taken care of.

"Today, if you are unaware, is Sunday. Rounds will always start on Sunday and as there is no school I would suggest vowing today. The day before round start, Saturday, is your free day. There are no Players or Weapons on Saturday and therefore everyone has equal rights. You are allowed to work for extra Raks on Saturday as well. School starts tomorrow 8am sharp, breakfast is from 7 until 8, Players have access to the full menu, Weapons need permission, and Discards do not have that access"

She pauses to take out the piece of paper with the list of Players on it, "The following students have been chosen for the first round:
1. Kotarou
2. Dave
3. Shion
4. Lelouch
5. Spain
6. Vriska


I, as well as Nanami, are here to answer any questions you may have about the school or battle system, so do not hesitate to ask. Good luck in battling and remember that not battling comes with its own price."

With that last ominous note, Dolorosa finishes her speech.

I'm a troll, by the way.
bifurious: ([Um])

Good to know.

So do you just look different from humans, or do you have special powers or anything?
fabricates: (♏ i thought i'd learned a thing or two)

[personal profile] fabricates 2012-01-10 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
We're generally a lot less pathetic and weak than humans are. Stronger skin, better eyes. You name it. I'm a special case. I have a loooooooot of special powers inherit only to me.
bifurious: (Your dreams suck.)

[ She doesn't like Vriska's tone. But the "special powers" thing sounds nifty. ]

You do, huh? What can you do?
fabricates: (♏ but the only fool here's me)

[personal profile] fabricates 2012-01-10 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gestures to her left eye, the one with 7 pupils.]

Vision Eightfold, mind control, telepathy. And that just covers what I had naturally before I went God Tier.
bifurious: (Enjoy your 2.4 children)

[personal profile] bifurious 2012-01-10 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Mind control and telepathy I get, but what's Vision Eightfold? Your eye kind of look like a spider's, honestly.

[personal profile] fabricates 2012-01-10 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Duh! That's because it's supposed to. Vision Eightfold lets me see through surfaces.
bifurious: (Did Gideon send you?)

[ ...she crosses her arms over her chest. ]

I guess that's pretty cool. So you inherited this stuff? Is your family vegan?
fabricates: (♏ like a million spent on nothing)

[personal profile] fabricates 2012-01-10 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I inherited it from my Ancestor. What the hell is vegan?
bifurious: (What the hell is this?)

[personal profile] bifurious 2012-01-10 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Means you don't eat meat. I kind of know a guy who's vegan and he can move stuff with his mind.

[ Y e a h her world is kind of stupid ]
fabricates: (♏ to see if it's you)

[personal profile] fabricates 2012-01-10 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
That is the stupidest think I've ever heard of.
bifurious: (Did Gideon send you?)

[personal profile] bifurious 2012-01-10 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but it works pretty well for him. Or it did, until he got killed.
fabricates: (♏ my dreams need realizing)

[personal profile] fabricates 2012-01-11 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[She tenses the slightest bit at the mention of 'killed', but quickly relaxes back into a smug demeanor.]

Sucks for him.
bifurious: (You mean he doesn't know?)

[personal profile] bifurious 2012-01-11 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but that's how it goes. Just make sure you're better than him.
