Round 2

[mamarosa]

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."

Comments

[knightime]

[Okay, no. Please don't congratulate him for beating a kid. That just makes him feel like more of a douchebag then when he actually...fought the kid.

Oh god, why are you naming him again. He still got his ass whooped the latter two matches. Please, this is embarrassing and he doesn't want people to look his way.

Wait...

Wait...

Did she call his name again? Oh Jegus christ, he's a Player again. He wonders if the people he vowed with last round will vow with him again.]

[lovesignmasterspark]

[Oho, so she's a player this time! This should make things more interesting... now she needs to find people to vow with. She's going to be weaving around the room, looking for distraught people.]

[fifty]

[Alfred scowls; this whole system is stupid. He's only glanced over the rulebook, but he's definitely not letting someone own him. Instead, he just slouches down in his seat. There's gotta be a way to get around all this.

Well, a way that doesn't involve any sort of punishment. Not that he minds punishment, he's just not sure how far obviously crazy power-sapping kidnappers will go.]

[tenwholeryou]

Kotarou has prepared for this as much as he was able to. He's bought himself rings that will apparently make him stronger, and he's scoped out who is most likely to help him out if he demands it.

Of course, all of that is blown out of the water in a spray of awry plans and fish guts as Oichi's name is read out.

[revelation]

( A Weapon again. Not that Madoka is upset by this fact, everyone here seems nice and willing enough to make sure they had their rights. Her time with Homura just seemed short in comparison...

Nevertheless, she manages to keep a smile on her face the entire time as she reminds herself to simply do her best. After all, these rings were supposed to make them stronger. )

[veepofchess]

Lelouch frowns up at the board. He supposed it was fortunate that Gamzee was not a Player this round. It could have been much worse. He looked over the list, for someone that he could convince to lose to the other school so that he would have Suzaku as his Player.

He remained quiet though, and looked deep in thought.

[koyo]

( It's not like Spain would know if his name was called or not. He waits a moment to see if Nanami will speak to him again but when nothing is said, he assumes he is a weapon this time around. He recognizes two names but he's only worried about one in particular. Hopefully she would be all right.


He could care less about England though. )

This will be interesting.

[honkhonkwoof]

His mind burns with rage, and he grits his teeth together, balling his hands into tight fists with claws that rip through his own skin. It's all he can do to keep from full out attacking everyone within reach, and ruining his cover. He manages to keep himself hidden in the background, though.

It subsides, eventually; and the slight sting in his hands makes him glance down with surprise -- and he sees indigo staining them. The anger in his head wavers.

tw: drugs & depression

[catpaw]

[ She woke up feeling utterly horrible, and it shows on her face. The wig and hat have been put aside for now and she wears the uniform only because she can't go around wearing what she did when she arrived. She wants her drugs but she has none and she hates being like this. She hates being sober. It's too painful.

Anxiously, Nekoko looks around the room. She wants to leave, but there are people by the entrance and she's scared to go by them. So she hides away in a corner and waits for the hall to clear up. ]

[wakingsavior]

[ Well, he totally didn't catch ANY of that announcerating. He really wishes he'd hit a growth spurt already. So John is just going to... chill out, until he figures out what's going on and Dave's mun gets back from class.

He's signing absently, sort of keeping up an internal monologue, in the hopes that someone knows ASL and will see him signing and come talk to him. He probably just looks kind of crazy, though. ]
