Round 2
It could be a repeat of last week, Dolorosa stand on the podium looking out over the students of Fortitude, "Welcome students, I hope you have had a good week. I enjoyed watching you battle, even if we have lost the first round. Don't look down, there are many rounds to come."
If you were here last round you may notice that Nanami, Fortitude's prefect, is missing, "Before I go on and announce the winners of last round and the new Players for this round, I would like to inform you that breaking the rules is not allowed and will not be tolerated. Nanami has been punished for behavior unbecoming of a prefect, if I will punish her I will punish you as well.
"It is worth knowing that the 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. Please do not break the rules and give me an excuse to punish you" The peaceful smile on her face may be a bit disconcerting.
"Since we have covered that, we can now move on. While we did not win the round I would still like to congratulate you on a wonderful round. Conquest not only won more battles than us but one of their players hit the win condition. If you turn your attention to the screen behind me it will show the battles found by Fortitude."
On the screen behind her the Battle records for Fortitude and the Inter-school battles that they had fought were shown. She read the Fortitude battle records first.
She smiles kindly at the crowd, "I'm proud of you, there were very few Fortitude only battles, only one in fact, Dave vs Kotaru, congratulations Dave for winning.
"Also in fighting Conquest you all fought valiantly and I am proud of all of you. Extra notice goes to Dave for beating Feferi, Spain for defeated Golbez, Vriska for defeating Feferi, and Lelouch for defeating Homura," she claps politely and expects the others to clap as well.
"While no one in Fortitude won this round I would like to extend our congratulations to Conquest for winning and particularly Lithuania for winning the round. We should be gracious losers and fight harder next round. There is nothing to be ashamed of."
The battle records disappear. "Next I welcome our new students who joined us yesterday, you have been placed into a very kind school, so please enjoy your stay. 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 faculty 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." Her smile doesn't waver, "I'm sure all of you will grant your Weapon's rights.
"To own a weapon you must vow to them, you know the vow has worked when they receive a shield mark on their hand," she held her own hand up to show to new ones what it looked like. "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 Nanami tells you to, as after today she will not be punished. 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, I look forward to seeing you in my classroom."
"Now for what you have all been waiting for, this week's players are:
England
Rapunzel
Marisa
Yuri
Dahlia
Oichi
Dave
I wish you all the best of luck, fight well and make me proud."

no subject
Of course, she didn't know he existed, because she couldn't remember what he looked like.
So instead of replying, her nodding in affirmation of another vow turns into outright sobbing. ]
no subject
He hesitates. Dave didn't know what to do to make her stop crying. He didn't want to make her cry, but he's been doing that quite a bit. God he's a fuck up sometimes.
He added more text onto his PDA.]
ill wear a nametag for now on
itll be in red
so you always know its me
would that help???
i mean nametags are preschool shit
but itll be ironic
or something
no subject
W-- what is red?
no subject
its the color i type in
no subject
I don't remember! [ ooooookay this is just a really bad day. Have more crying. ]
no subject
He runs a hand through his hair nervously. He wasn't seriously trying to make her cry like this. HOW DOES HE FIX THIS? How does he make her stop? He quickly types something out and shows the PDA.]
hey
uhm
shit
shit
dont cry
uh
here
we can get those back eventually
the shop has charms
and you can unlock your memories as time passes
so you wont forget forever
[He'd save up all his money and buy her all her memory charms if he had to. He wouldn't mind.]
no subject
I-- [ She doesn't really have anything to say, but the tears are subsiding. She nods instead. ] Okay. Sorry, I didn't mean to be a crybaby... [ She attempts a smile. It's weak. ] I'm kind of stupid.
no subject
get your nails cut
id do it for y-
...
its okay
cry away
i
...
i guess i just dont like seeing you cry
idk
you look better when youre happy
but hey
id probably have given up if i was in the situation you were in
i dont do that optimistic shit you guys were good at
and crying isnt bad
you know its harder for people to cry then not
so that makes you like crazy strong???
does that make sense???
[What was he even typing. PDA to mouth. Or Pocket. Maybe he should just...shut up. Metaphorically speaking since he kind of does that literally.]
now with the correct context
You can...win me in a battle, right? I mean, if you wanted. [ No he wouldn't want to, she's being silly. ]
oh you
dont let me be the reason you do or dont do shit
youre your own woman
shit like that
[But the smile is a little relieving.]
is that a
permission
that i can
because i dont want your player
to hate me
because i became some needy friend who had to make sure
a certain quarky girl
was under my shitty jurisdiction
no subject
no subject
...
thatd be nice
[Jade probably doesn't even realize how relieving it is for Dave to hear that she wants to hug him. Well, maybe the smile gave him away.]
no subject
And when this round is done, we should...um. Have a sleepover. If we can. I've never had one before.
no subject
well make a pillow and blanket fort
that shit will be so fucking badass
people wont know how to compete with our shit
[He presses a finger against her glasses gently.]
no subject
Blanket forts are the absolute best! Everyone will go "oh wow Dave and Jade, that's so cool!" And we'll have to make a password and everything.
no subject
well have a sign and everything
bitches wont be able to handle our swag
itll be known from even the other school
no subject
no subject
were going to need what we can get
if we want this to scream swag
no subject
no subject
itll be the best pillow fort night ever
be hard to top it off
