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
<<'Only as long as it's from scratch. Betty Crocker can kiss my ass.'>>
[ He pauses, to see if he feels any different. Nope, he doesn't. ]
<<'So, is that it? I don't feel any different.'>>
no subject
<<'You don't know what you're doing to me. My heart is beating faster then a cheetah on steroids.'>> [Sometimes one wonders about the things that Dave says or does.]
<<'You should have a symbol now. That's all. I can yank your weapon out from your chest if I have my glove on. Apparently it's kind of weird.'>> [He hasn't been a Weapon before so he doesn't personally know.]
no subject
[ He pauses, then asks a little sheepishly ]
<<'Um, where can I get a PDA like yours? 'Cause I don't really want to drag a notebook around if I don't have to.'>>
no subject
He's using the other hand to do quick, messy messages though. They're slightly clipped, and they almost seem more like he's just talking to himself.]
<<'I swear everyone should have a fucking PDA. It would be so much more convenient.'>>
no subject
John gets the signing to himself thing, though, he does that a lot. He doesn't sign back, but he keeps an eye on Dave's hand as it flickers through words and half-words.
Vriska's here, Jade's here, and Dave's here. Yep, things are pretty okay. ]
no subject
Wow. That was all kinds of uncool, so he'll fix it with hand in pocket while dragging your derpy ass to Recette's shop. Yep...way to be kind of lame Dave.]
no subject
...Come to think of it, Dave might be more awkward about the lack of conversation than John is.
Eventually they get there, though, down to the shop, Dave still holding on to John's wrist because otherwise John would get distracted and stop walking because he has to look at everything. ]
no subject
He leads John into the shop indicating prices and the PDAs since that's what they're here for.]
no subject
He looks at the PDAs and the prices and picks one that does what he needs but isn't too expensive. It's very basic, but it's a PDA! He pays for it and flashes it at Dave triumphantly before tucking it in his pocket. ]
<<'Now I don't have to drag around that notebook anymore!'>>
no subject
<<'It's just a fucking PDA man.'>>
[He shudders a bit when they step back out. He really hates this weather. Can they like head to the dorms so he can go bury himself in his bed? It's fucking freezing. It probably isn't, but it might as well be freezing to Dave.]
no subject
<<'We should hurry before you turn into an icicle or something.'>>
no subject
<<'As much as everyone would want a piece of my frozen delicious ass, I rather not become a Davesicle.'>> [He's going to start walking briskly towards the school and their dorms.]

This is even better than he'd hoped for, meeting Dave in person.
He's not very in shape, and he's not the fastest, but he does his best to catch up to Dave. Not happening, but on the bright side, John doesn't lose him, so that's... something?
By the time they get back to the school, John's gasping for breath and half-heartedly signing "come back" as he stops and leans against a nearby wall to catch his breath. ]
no subject
Dave jogs back to John once the other signs at him to return. Dave has a pretty cocky grin on his face and he's looking pretty smug.
Obviously he thinks he's one-up John for now. But hey, he isn't all that cold anymore now that they've been running.]
no subject
He pushes off from the wall and towards the dorms in a dead sprint.
It's not gonna win him any awards, but it got him a head start on the last stretch to the dorms! ]
no subject
Dave just totally tackled you dude. Bitch, you're going down.]
no subject
But honestly, he's out of breath and probably can't beat Dave anyway, and after a few seconds he just flops back, still laughing. ]
<<'I surrender! You win!'>>
no subject
He rolls off the other so he's just lying on the ground next to him.]
no subject
Well, being 13-year-old boys. Dorky, dorky 13-year-old boys. ]
no subject
He gently shoves the other, which does absolutely nothing. They're both lying on the floor, and his back is cold, but he doesn't care at the moment.]
no subject
He likes this, just playing. Especially since it's Dave.
Eventually, though, he's reminded that it's kind of cold out by the fact that his butt's getting kind of numb. ]
<<'We should probably go inside. It's kind of cold.'>>
no subject
He holds his hand out to John though. Pretty sure you don't have the amazing getting up skills he has.]
<<'No shit. Unlike you, my tolerance to cold is for shit. It's like fucking Christmas or something.'>>
no subject
<<'You're a big baby.'>>
