On the platform: New characters and old ones that want to come and meet them!

[utopiamods]

As you all crowd onto the platform with your new and still bizarre mix of faces, expressions, clothing and wild theories, you are met by two girls and a boy. All three are in uniforms that would match if not for the colour differences - skirts and trousers, waistcoats, and light summer shirts that seem totally inappropriate for the thin layer of melting slush coating the station platform. Each has a beret with a crest - one girl's shows a sword, the other two have a shield.

At the first lull in the chatter, the shorter girl speaks up, her soft voice somehow cutting over you.

"Excuse me,"

She explains, in precise, quiet sentences, that the three of them are prefects, representing the two schools in Rakuen. Nanami of Fortitude, she says, placing a hand on her own collarbone, with her fellow prefect Lelouch, and Santana of Conquest, here pointing to the boy and the taller girl she's leaning against. The girl nods, looking fairly bored, whilst the boy doesn't appear to be paying much attention.

"We will be sorting you now. When we say your name, please move quickly and quietly to whoever called you."

"Yeah," Santana interrupts, "Then we can go back to the dorms. This'd better be the last lot we get in winter, seriously."

They separate, moving to stand several metres apart, and both girls pull a list from their waistcoat pocket. Alternating, they start to read out your names.

CONQUEST

[straightupzorra]

[Guess what! You're in Conquest, that means you get the bully as a prefect! Welcome, you better not fuck up]

Karkat Really, what kind of name is that?
Dirk Another dumb name, they couldn't just name you Dick and be over with it, huh?
Rose Finally a normal name.

Re: CONQUEST

[timaeustestifies]

Dick leaves nothing to the imagination.

[He doesn't do much else, hands shoved in his pockets as he observes Santana, face carefully blank.]

[straightupzorra]

Then you must be Dirk, I don't think I need that much of an imagination to find out. [Even if she's a lesbian she believes she can still seduce men. It's a useful power, rarely used for good]

[threshprinceoffuckyou]

[ Flipping her the double bird. ]

What's that ugly thing on your head? Oh, what, that's your face? Well, I'll be damned.

[straightupzorra]

[and she'll flip it right back, ignoring the fact she welcomes his feisty-ness]

Sorry, you're going to mock my face? Have you looked in the mirror lately? Not only do you have the worst skin I have ever seen, for a troll your horns are pathetic. Really, everyone else has huge horns and yours are miniscule. Let me guess, your balls haven't dropped yet either.

[doesthewindything]

"Hi, I'm John!" And here comes the little dork walking up to you now.

[straightupzorra]

She turns to look at him, "Oh god, of course you are."

quietly slides in here

[fabricates]

She came to scout for the other trolls, but little was she expecting to hear Karkat's name twice or hear John's name again. And she definitely noticed how he responded to being called this time. Was this the John from her timeline-? And he's in the other school. This is hoofbeast shit. Whatever, she'll snatch his attention away. She has to know if this is the John she knows.

"Hey, Egbert!"

late DID SHE INSULT HIM.

[whitestknight]

OF COURSE

[straightupzorra]

Flynn? That's what your parents came up with? You're just too cool for vowels aren't you?

Re: CONQUEST

[infallibleblade]

[Aaaaand waiting for his name to be called.]

[straightupzorra]

[and then she reaches his name on the list] Wow, fuck this name. You're Ash now. [she looks around, which one of you is Ash....]

FORTITUDE

[effortless]

[ on the other hand, the Fortitude prefects seem relatively friendly. ]

Dedede

Kamui

And Karkat

Re: FORTITUDE

[veepofchess]

[For a certain definition of 'friendly']

Karkat in Fortitude should be a teacher. Look in your bag, your uniform should match ours. [He looks more impassively bored as opposed to Santana's angry boredom]

Re: FORTITUDE

[unbridledfangs]

[For now, he's playing along with the rules of this strange world. At least until he knows more about this place and if his twin is here or not. After all, perhaps they were merely separated and are destined to arrive at different times. Subaru could be here already or he could be on his way. Until Kamui knows, he can't leave.

So, with that being said, he moves toward Nanami quietly and remains there, watching and waiting.]

Re: FORTITUDE

[has_soothing_bells]

Reimi frowns when she doesn't hear her name called. What was going on?

She comes up to Fortitude's Prefect on a whim, and tugs gently on her clothes. Old habits died hard. Bowing, she spoke, "Excuse me, Miss...do you know where I am supposed to go? My name was not spoken."

Re: FORTITUDE

[healinghero]

[Yellow glances about for a mometn before stepping up, hearing her name..and with that hat of hers hiding the only thing that tells her gender]

Um....I'm Yellow

FORTITUDE

[chigi]

[He hasn't yet heard a name he recognizes as his own, so he'll be over here looking bored.]

[babysage]

Kotaro is stood at the station staring intently at the train doors. His brother will be here, of course he will. He will come for him and it's been a week already. So he must be on the train.

He stands ignoring the cold and smiling at all the new arrivals, saying hello to them even though none are his brother.

[stoppedhiding]

Golbez had come by to see who all was arriving this week -- it seemed the numbers of new arrivals were dwindling. That was interesting. Was there some quota that had to be met, or was there some completely different reason?

There was one other thing he noticed, too: The extra prefect for Fortitude. He'd seen that boy on the train on the day they'd all arrived, so he wasn't somebody who'd remained behind with the others... was he?

When it seemed there was a lull in conversation between the prefects and new arrivals, he stepped toward Lelouch. "You," he said simply, by way of greeting. "You're one of Fortitude's prefects?"

[veepofchess]

Lelouch glanced over when he was approached by the brawny warrior. He knew there were going to be questions, and he had been told a few things about how to address them. Of course, whether or not he chose to pass along the information he had been given, was another matter entirely.

But for now, he'd play the clueless lazy student card. "Ah, yes. I am. Is there a problem?"

[mamarosa]

[Dolorosa is walking around the platform, smiling peacefully, looking at the new students. They were usually upset at being here but Dolorosa enjoyed seeing their fresh new faces]

[Come talk to the headmistress of Fortitude?]

not new but

[allurprincess]

[ Sora has a MISSION and that mission is getting permission for a massive sleepover. So. First things first: talking to her headmistress. ]

Excuse me!

[has_soothing_bells]

After Reimi got her assignment, she stood around, looking worriedly around. "Ohh...whatever should I do?" She could be heard whimpering to herself.

[veepofchess]

Lelouch approached the flower child, but the cool expression on his face didn't change. "Could you tell me your name?" There was a note of kindness in his voice, not just cold like he had been with others.
