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!"

"Your brother trained witha crow?"

No Neph.
Just no.

"I don't make a big deal of the whole Empress thing. I don't want any special treatment or things like that. I want to live as much of a normal life as I can."

She nodded at Suzaku's question. "I think we're done here. Let's head out to the courtyard, and I'll give you a lesson."

Kotaro blinked and then shook his head. "No just a person named Crow, he was the Princess's guardian."
herplaceinthesun: (relax)

[personal profile] herplaceinthesun 2012-01-24 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Exactly! I mean, if they're going to make us fight each other we can at least be treated like equals." Good. She likes making feel people, here. It makes her feel better about being stuck.

"If you find anything interesting, let me know? It might be best to do it in person in case someone's watching the network."
herplaceinthesun: (oh okaayyy?)

[Aisha actually prefers hand-to-hand herself, but playing with weapons was fun and she has basic training in most of them.]

Not yet! I'm saving raks for something special~ But if it'll help . . .

[Sis stood in the very back of the meeting hall. She flips through the hand manual, skimming, not really reading. She doesn't seem particularly keen on the Headmistresses attitude.

She adjusts her shades. Looking for the nearest exit. Just. Don't be in her way when the announcement is over folks. New person is out.

[The Don listens intently to what's being said even as he glances over the manual he'd been given, taking in the information and mulling it over.

This was one hell of an afterlife, though he doubted that's what this place was. Which raised some interesting questions that he'd like to have answered. But one thing at a time. Seems he needed to find Player or some such.]

"I guess that must be hard, if you are next in line to the throne, to live a normal life." He nodded and began to make his way out to the courtyard. "Thank you Feferi."

[personal profile] swordofzero 2012-01-25 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Suzaku nodded, "I think it is safe to assume they are. Do you have a Player yet Aisha?"
cullscuttlefish: (3x2dentkind GOOOOOO)

"It's difficult, but I do what I can. Letting it get me down isn't my style." She grinned and managed a laugh.

Once they were outside, Feferi took the trident in hand. "Okay. The first thing is how to hold it. It's a two-handed weapon, and you want to keep your left hand nearest to the prongs. That way, you can use both ends."

She began to move, then, demonstrating as she did. First one end up, the blunt end, then a turn, pointing the prongs forward. "The advantage is that you can parry with one end, and it gives you a solid chance of disarming them in the process, if their weapon gets caught in the prongs. And it leaves the other end open to strike at them. The length is the other advantage; you can turn it prongs-out to get some distance."

Feferi handed it back over. "Okay. Now you try it."
swordofzero: (lost in thoughts)

[personal profile] swordofzero 2012-01-25 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Suzaku nodded and followed her outside. He watched as she demonstrated how to use the trident. It was a little like a naginata, sort of... Not that Suzaku had ever used one, but he had seen Tohdou use one when he was younger.

He took the trident off Feferi and held it as he had been shown, before moving it experimentally, parry with one end, strike with the other.
cullscuttlefish: (:D)

[personal profile] cullscuttlefish 2012-01-25 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good! Just like that. Tighten your grip a little with your left hand, but you've got the knack of moving it."

Feferi's voice was bright, encouraging, happy. Happy? That was strange. But she figured it out a moment later - it meant she was protecting someone again.

"Oooh." She nodded understandingly, "Sorry, we got a race back home called Laguz, and some of them are Crows. They don't guard her Majesty, though."

[personal profile] swordofzero 2012-01-26 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
He did so, adjusting his hands so it felt comfortable. It had been an incredibly long time since he had learnt a new weapon, he moved it again, "Do I move my hands, when I wish to parry or strike with the other end, or do they stay in one place?"
babysage: (smiles)

[personal profile] babysage 2012-01-26 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do they talk? I never heard of them before! Who looks after her majesty?"
herplaceinthesun: (silly rabbit)

[personal profile] herplaceinthesun 2012-01-26 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
She shook her head. "Not yet, but I'm gonna go see if Gino wants to do the team thing again, since he looks like he's about to die of happiness over there."

Yes, that is a slight note of embarrassment you hear. Slightly hypocritical, but there none the less.
relentless_sentinel: (Ever curious)

[personal profile] relentless_sentinel 2012-01-26 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Her retainers, Lucia and Geoffrey, look after her. And they don't talk in their Crow forms but when the make themselves look like Beorc -that's humans like you and me-, they can."
Her voice dropped to a whisper, "Not a lotta people like Laguz, call em mean names. I like em though. Think everyone should be treated proper, not like slaves or nothin'."

I will! I still need to get more raks.

[Raks = money = success =possibly getting home. He thinks.]

...Hey, you played the game before we got here, right?
swordofzero: (I am being sweet and attentive!)

[personal profile] swordofzero 2012-01-27 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Suzaku's face darkened at the mention of Gino but he nodded and looked over, he really did look in his element, which did not surprise Suzaku in the slightest.

"I will see you around then I guess," he nodded at her again.
babysage: (soo happy)

[personal profile] babysage 2012-01-27 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Kotaro nodded, he had never heard of these Laguz but he agreed with her, "Everyone should be treated the same and be nice to everyone! No one likes Black Bloods either so me and my brother had to hide a lot but some people like Mimiko are nice and don't care about stuff like that, she's a good person like you!" He grinned showing fangs.
herplaceinthesun: (customer service)

Aisha didn't notice, or she would have asked about it, curious thing that she was. She nodded back and waved.

"You sure will! Try not to worry about things so much~"
relentless_sentinel: (Hearts slumbering again)

[personal profile] relentless_sentinel 2012-01-30 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Nephenee tilted her head to the side, "Yeah, everyone should be treated right...whatsa Black Blood?"
swordofzero: (aderp derr derp?)

[personal profile] swordofzero 2012-01-30 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"I wont, thank you." He nodded at her politely, not feeling as bad about being a player as he had done. He could protect people this way, including Lelouch if he found out who had him as a weapon and fought them.
babysage: (smiles)

[personal profile] babysage 2012-01-30 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Kotaro blinked, "Black Blood is what humans call vampires, least in Japan that's what they call them." He smiled again.
relentless_sentinel: (Ever curious)

[personal profile] relentless_sentinel 2012-01-30 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Vampires?" The look on her face made it clear she'd never heard of them. "What's that?"
