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.

[Koharu watches from the edge of the platform, clad in the school's uniform, but her hair is pulled back with the clips and ribbons from her magical girl outfit]

...Sora? Yuki? [She suddenly is paying a lot more attention, picking out the red hair and hoping Yuki kept an eye on her.]

[Lithuania, when he'd heard another train, had of course gone to the platform to observe. Now he's lingering around the edges, looking small and shy in Conquest colors, but still perking up and watching anyone else who's going to end up in his school. Not that he ignores the Fortitude newcomers, either; anyone who's interesting gets looked over.]

[Dave is in the school uniform shivering quite a bit and scowling a little. He rather be back in the dorms right now. His tolerance with the cold was jack shit, and being out here was fucking terrible. Still, the hopes that someone he recognized outweighed staying warm. They could just quickly move to the dorms after anyways.

He looked around at all the new faces, hoping to see a familiar one. He didn't pay attention to the names being called. He couldn't remember the names of his friends. Dave had to rely on his friends faces.]

[ Ruka has come to see the people on the platform. The air is cold and she wears the red and white of Conquest; the uniform shorts and skirt are too cold, so she wears the pants. She looks for someone familiar and waits to maybe be approached. She doesn't think she sees anyone... ]

[ John, in his awe of looking around and watching all the people, totally missed the fact that people were being sorted into schools, since he couldn't hear it. It's only when everybody's leaving that he realises he has no idea what's going on. Nor, apparently, does he have his sylladex, which means he doesn't have his notebook which means unless people around here can sign, he can't communicate with anyone.

Uh. Shit. Maybe he should've tried to talk to people on the train instead of napping and staring out the window. That was stupid.

...Anyone want to help the lost-looking Fortitude kid figure out what he's supposed to be doing? ]
