On the platform: New characters and old ones that want to come and meet them!

[utopiamods]

As you all crowd onto the platform with your new and still 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 - skirts, waistcoats, and light summer shirts that seem totally inappropriate for the thin layer of snow and ice coating the station platform. Both have a beret with a crest - one shows a sword, the other a shield.

At the first lull in the chatter, the shorter girl speaks up, her soft voice somehow cutting over you.

"Excuse me,"

She explains, in precise, quiet sentences, that they're prefects, representing the two schools in Rakuen. Nanami of Fortitude, she says, placing a hand on her own collarbone, and Santana of Conquest, here pointing to the taller girl she's leaning against. The girl nods, looking fairly bored.

"We will be sorting you now. When we say your name, please move quickly and quietly to whoever called you."

"Yeah," Santana interrupts, "Then we can go back to the dorms. It's not getting any warmer however many times they make us do this."

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.

Just Lithuania? "What do you mean?" What happened to his human name? Alfred is now at a bit of a loss for words right now. Because not only has he met a tiny, and slightly adorable, Liet. The little guy is claiming that he only has Lithuania for a name.

"I don't have two names like you do, that's all." Lithuania shrugs, looking at him uncertainly. "What would you need two for?"

[heroiccia]

"'Cause it's nice to not always be called by your nation name?" He doesn't know why actually. He always just figured it made him a bit closer to his human counterparts, if nothing else.

[duchy]

"It isn't?"

Still making a name for himself--still forming, in fact--Lithuania can't imagine wanting to be called something else. Of course, he hasn't been around very long at all.

"How do you get one?"

[heroiccia]

"Hm..." He started to tap his chin in thought towards Liet's question. "I guess someone just names ya, little guy." Or at least that was how it was for him. Considering that England had been the one to find and raised him after all.

[duchy]

Oh. Well, maybe one of his dukes would give him one at home. There was the matter of missing memories, too. "Maybe I'll get one later, then. Or maybe I forgot it."

[heroiccia]

"Eh, how can you forget your name?" You have made America shocked beyond all comprehension. Seriously, how could a person forget their own name! That's just silly.

[duchy]

"Everyone who shows up here forgets ten memories," Lithuania said, matter-of-factly. "To get them back, you have to play the game. I know what some of my lost memories are, but not all of them."
