New Arrivals (All new characters)
You're falling, and you can't remember why. It's a sickening feeling that makes your insides lurch; the darkness and the vertigo combine, and all you can think of is a story you heard once, somewhere.
Ah, I remember now. It's... a simple story that everyone knows. A legend of a Princess, the Demon Lord who kidnapped her, and the Knight who fought to save her. The Demon Lord had kidnapped the Princess countless times, but every time the Knight bested his challenges and rescued the Princess. No matter what tricks and ploys the Demon Lord used, the Knight would always triumph in the end. This was because--
The world tilts on its axis one last time, and the dream slips from your mind as easily as it arrived. A new voice intrudes on your sleep. Mechanical, monotonous.
"Next stop: Rakuen City. This train terminates here. The next stop is Rakuen. All change." The train rocks steadily as it winds its way through white drifts of snow. Sunlight streams through the window, heating the air and making the seats almost uncomfortably warm. A puff of steam from the train winds its way lazily past the windows when the wind is right.
It's strangely difficult to shake off the sleep; the rhythm of the train seems to lull you back into slumber and the air is warm and heavy, making it hard to keep hold of a thought. Finally, though, the nausea settles, the last of the dream fades and you can take in your surroundings. And, perhaps more importantly, those around you in a similar state.
"We have arrived at Rakuen City. All passengers must leave the train. This train is terminating here. This is Rakuen."

Excuse me, are you okay?

Uh-- [ She breaks off to cough. Not speaking in awhile has made her voice raspy. ] I think I died. But I'm here...
no subject
[she motions to Jade's hands] I can clean and bandage those if you'd like. Oh, I'm Yuki! It's nice to meet you.
no subject
[ She looks a little bit shocked that her hands are in such a state, but she smiles anyway. ] I didn't even know I was hurt. I'm Jade. It's nice to meet you, too.

I... I'm sorry, I can't remember what to do.

Where did you come from? [ because the world was dead. you shouldn't be alive. ]

Well I woke up in another cart, before that I was at school...

I wish I had gone to school.

I can try and teach you things when we get to... wherever we're going.
no subject
That would be cool. I can teach you science, if you want.
no subject
Oh are you a scientist? Where did you learn that?

My grandpa taught me. He was a super cool scientist adventurer creator hunter.
