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.

[ so anyway I hope you weren't using your hands for anything because Sora catches one hand from each of you. ]

If this game hurts people too, I'll definitely fight to end it!

[isur2ndprincess]

[Yuki smiles at Sora, so like her Sora]

I will fight by your side.

[shootingforpeace]

[Koharu blinks but beams at Sora. At least that never changes]

Of course. We can fight it together.

[allurprincess]

Yes. Even if we're from different places, we're still us!

[isur2ndprincess]

[she smiles at the both of them]

Then we will work together.

[Koharu's smile quivers and she almost wants to cry. Why couldn't it be that simple at home]

I'm glad. Do you know which school you're going to?

[allurprincess]

I can't remember what it's called, but it's the green and black one.

[ wait they're both wearing red. ]

[isur2ndprincess]

I'm in Conquest. [she notices the colors she's wearing and that it matches Koharu but not Sora] If we're separated by our uniform colors than I think Koharu is with me and that... we're against you, Sora. [she frowns, she wanted to work with both of them]

[shootingforpeace]

Ah...Well...Well we just won't fight each other, that's all!
