Round Two start: Conquest School

Just like last Sunday; 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." Any who fail, refuse or get lost are found by Santana and taken swiftly to the lobby.

Day is stood on the small raised podium again, this time eating a plum. Santana sits next to her. "So it's been an exciting week," she starts with a grin, she looks like she is in a good mood. Still her face turns stern for a moment as she speaks. "Because I would much rather focus on positive things I am going to get the negative out of the way first." She fixes them with a level stare. "Rules." As she begins speaking some members of the audience will begin to get a headache. Suzaku, Golbez, Homura and others who have broken the rules this week. The headache intensifies as Day continues speaking.

"Rules are on page nine of the player handbook which you all have been given. Any one who cannot read may request a copy be sent to their PDA, an advanced PDA will read the rules to you. there is no excuse for breaking them they are there for a reason!" She smiled, the pain went away from the affected character's minds.

"Now we have put those unpleasantries aside. I would like to congratulate you on what was a truly wonderful round!" She grinned looking like an excited kid, "As you may have guessed from the extra raks you received Conquest won this round and you may all be incredibly proud of yourselves!"

On the screen behind her the Battle records for Conquest and the Interschool battles that they had fought were shown. She read the conquest battle records first.

"Aqua vs Golbez, congratulations Aqua. Homura Akemi vs Lithuania, congratulations Lithuania, Aisha Clan Clan vs Feferi Piexes, congratulations Aisha." She smiled at the crowd.

"Also in fighting Fortitude you all did brilliantly, congratulations to Lithuania, who fought Shion and won, Homura Akemi who fought Shion and won, Feferi Peixes who fought Kotarou and won, Aisha Clanclan who fought Dave Strider and won, Homura Akemi who fought Dave Strider and won and to Lithuania who fought Spain and won." She is positively beaming by now.

"Finally I would like us all to offer our congratulations to Lithuania for being the only Round Winner of last round. A round of applause please!" She waited until the clapping died down before adding, "I hope those who are players this next round follow his example and fight as hard as he did."

The battle records disappear. "Next I welcome our new students who joined us yesterday, I am sure you are pleased to know that you truly joined the superior school. Now I have here the list of those chosen to be Players this round, for those who have just joined us this means these students and teachers are the only persons with rights this week. The rest of you have no rights, you may be granted rights by being owned by a Player." She smiled at them again, this time her smile was a little less than friendly.

"To own a weapon you must vow to them, you know the vow has worked when they receive a sword mark on their hand," she held her own hand up to show to new ones what it looked like. She took another bite of plum. "Players may give their Weapons permission to access the school facilities, and to eat from the full cafeteria menu among other things. If you haven't got a Player then you are a Discard, make sure you know all the rules and do exactly what Santana tells you to. There is no school today but I suggest you use the time to vow to Weapons if you are a Player or find a Player if you are a Weapon. School is Monday to Friday starting 8am sharp. All this is in your manual; please read it."

Her excited grin was back, "So those chosen to continue winning this week are:

Estonia
Gino Weinberg
Marik Ishtar
Nephenee
Road Kamelot
Suzaku Kururugi
Utena Tenjou

Fight well!"

[Santana is sitting on the platform after the announcements with her arms crossed]

BS, we should have had Lithuania as a Player again so we can continue stomping Fortitude into the ground.

Suzaku stood at the back glaring at the headmistress and prefect from across the hall. His gaze darkened as his name was called out. There was no way he was planning to play their game, he would give anyone rights who asked for them but that was as far as he was playing along.

He stood still while everyone else started to mingle, glowering to himself.

Kotaro was watching the proceedings with wide eyes, he was a little more scared today since it had been a whole night and his brother still hadn't turned up to rescue him. He had never been away from his brother for this long before and he didn't like it.

His name wasn't called out so he just stood in the room holding his closed parasol by his side smiling at people who went past. He had read a bit of the book, but it had used a lot of words and it was a bit boring, so Kotaro didn't really know how it all worked.

[Lithuania, who was quite pleased with all the mentions he got, smiles.]

It's okay, I bought all my upgrades with the money I won. I don't think Fortitude has any fully upgraded weapons, except for the headmistress and prefect.

Aisha rubbed her head, that stupid headache trick wasn't going to keep her down. Not being a Player was a little on the annoying side, but it was bound to happen eventually. She had to giggle at the fact that she knew a couple of the Players this time around.

If they thought she was going to beg someone to be her Player, they had another thing coming. If it happened it happened, but if it didn't? She could just suck it up.

"Are you all right, Suzaku?" Feferi's voice was softer than usual, and certainly more concerned. "It's a shock to anyone's system, having their name called like that." She gave his hand a squeeze, trying to be reassuring.

[personal profile] swordofzero 2012-01-23 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Suzaku looked at Feferi and gave a grim nod, he let her take his hand and turned to her. "Did you know that no one can permanently die here?"

Probably not the best way to start a conversation, but he was upset.

"Hey! Frowny face!"

Aisha trots herself over to him. He looks unhappy, and she's curious about why, especially if he was a Player like she guessed. He did get cafeteria rights, at least. "What's wrong with you?"
cullscuttlefish: (nooooo...)

[personal profile] cullscuttlefish 2012-01-23 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's a terrifying thought. And to think it came from someone I thought I knew. The Gamzee I knew wouldn't have hurt a fly."

She sighed, rubbing her thumb over the back of his hand. "Is he okay now? Your friend, I mean."

Alright! [ Guess who's enthused about being chosen. Hint, he's the one looking absurdly pleased with himself in the middle of the hall. ]

My turn! Who's ready to win again?
swordofzero: (traitors die here!)

[personal profile] swordofzero 2012-01-23 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"You know Gamzee?" He hadn't assumed he would, they were both trolls but Suzaku didn't know every other human here, so he hadn't thought Feferi knew any other trolls outside of Sollux.

"He is... though..." His voice dropped as if he were afraid Santana or Day would hear him even all the way over the other end of the room, "The other prefect, Nanami... she killed him as well..." And Suzaku hadn't been able to save him...
herplaceinthesun: (lol jenny)

Someone's happy

[She laughs, playfully rolling her eyes. At least he isn't dancing . . . yet.]

[personal profile] swordofzero 2012-01-23 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Suzaku only vaguely recognised the girl as Gino's Player from last round. He shrugged, "The fact we are here, the fact they think they can dangle rights over our heads like they are something we must earn from them."

"It's kind of complicated. The easiest explanation is that twelve of us were friends, and then we got stranded together. So I know the ones of us who would be students." She sighed a bit, taking a deep breath. "I still can't believe Gamzee would hurt anyone, though. He was always quick to let people chill out with him if they were upset or just needed a break, so they would feel better. Acting like that isn't like him at all."

She shook her head. Weren't the prefects supposed to protect their students?

"That's...I don't even have the words," Feferi whispered back. "I'm sorry, though that doesn't seem like enough. And a prefect killing a student - aren't they supposed to protect us?"

[personal profile] trollofthree 2012-01-23 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha! And why not? This is fun. [ it's okay Aisha he's used to that reaction. ]
herplaceinthesun: (content)

[personal profile] herplaceinthesun 2012-01-23 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's a good thing they treat us like that though. It means we know for a fact that the person on top isn't right. No illusions, and more motivation to find away out of this."

And she smiles, brightly. "Have you given up on that already?"
swordofzero: (lost in thoughts)

[personal profile] swordofzero 2012-01-23 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Suzaku frowned, "He seemed very..." Well crazy was the word he would use but if he was one of Feferi's friends, he did not care about Gamzee but he didn't want to upset Feferi.

"Something must be wrong..."

He frowned and shook his head, "She didn't care, she claimed that since death is not permanent it did not matter. I do not think they are here for our protection..."
herplaceinthesun: (in a good mood)

[personal profile] herplaceinthesun 2012-01-23 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, the butt kicking part is anyway~ So, you want Aisha to pledge her undying loyalty to you for the sake for defeating these amateurs?

[She gives a dramatic flourish to her words, but really, she doesn't care.]

[ drama is good. He goes along with it with a bow from the waist. ] If m'lady is willing!

Suzaku blinked, "I guess it makes it clear who is in charge yes." That wasn't exactly a good thing though. He frowned.

"Of course not, we still need to find a way out," he just didn't think playing a long was going to do them any good. He got a headache though, when he tried to think of why he didn't believe that, he used to believe that didn't he?
frozenmemories: (Eh?)

[Cirno just watches with a slightly confuised look on her face, her manual in her hands. She had been trying to read it after hearing that stuff she might want to know was in there. After a moment she frowns]

How can anyone read that?
cullscuttlefish: (smile for you)

[personal profile] cullscuttlefish 2012-01-23 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Insane? Yeah. You don't need to hold back on my account. But something's definitely wrong. That isn't so important now; keeping him from hurting your friend is." She considered Gamzee a friend, but she couldn't do much considering they were in different places.

Her eyes narrowed, and she took a hard look at their headmistress and their prefect. "No wonder the headmistress is insisting we all take her poisons class. I hate the idea, but don't have a choice in the matter, it doesn't seem like. Maybe they're not here to protect us at all."

Feferi's yellow eyes met Suzaku's green for a moment, and she took a deep breath before speaking again.

"...I want to protect you as a Weapon this time. Not fight, not if I don't have to, but I want to be there and protect you best I can."
herplaceinthesun: (spacesuit flag)

[personal profile] herplaceinthesun 2012-01-23 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[They are both ridiculous. It is truth.]

That I am, good sir. Now let us say the binding pledge, so that we may go get some lunch as champions do~
