ROUND -1

This morning, the marks of ownership disappear from the bodies of every Weapon who was owned during the previous round. The woman from the introductory video appears on the Exaclan video screens across campus, and on all of the computer screens as well.

She doesn't look very happy.

"My, you weren't very enthusiastic this time, were you?" she says, frowning and waving one finger in disappointment. "That's no good. If you don't fight, you can't earn Tokens to buy your powers or your memories back! If you don't even have those, imagine how hard it'll be to earn Legend Fragments!"

She smiles; the shift from her previous expression is sudden and startling. "You know, if you hear the legend, you just might learn a few things!

"We didn't want to do this, but it looks like we're going to have to. Okay! From now on, Players, you can only go three days without fighting. After that, we'll start taking away one Token a day. And you want your Tokens, don't you?" She smiles even more widely, as though she has no idea why anyone might be upset at being forced into such a situation. "To get you all started, we've given you some free tokens! You already had three each, you know, and we've added seven more. That means you all have ten tokens, so visit a booth and get spending."

She pauses, and then snaps her fingers, "Ah, but only Players can do that, so if any of your Weapons want to buy something, you should do it for them, okay?

"I know you can do it! Believe in yourselves and each other, and you'll achieve utopia!

"Now, here are the Players for this round!"

The screen goes blank, and the following appears:

PLAYERS FOR ROUND -1:
Fletcher Tringham
Kevin Smith
Mei Chang
Meryl Silverburgh
Oichi
Suzaku Kururugi
Tsuki Aoi

[you mean, Dave was loitering.]

[because now he's being recruited. Not that it isn't still cool, but this one involves Kotarou and Oichi.]

[sidle sidle sidle]

Hey. You still need a Player, don't you?
themouthofhell: ([ ❀ ] absent)

[ slinks over, looking from Kotarou to Dave ]

Yes, yes... Ichi is a player, and you're a weapon, so Ichi will take care of you, ok...?
thatguywhohasablog: totes chill despite the enthusiastic attentions of the ladies (yep hi what)

Oh, hey, Lil K. Sup?

[he raises his eyebrows slightly when he spots Oichi.]

Yeah, okay. It's actually this big secret dream of mine to get a sword extracted from my chest cavity by a creepy broad who refers to herself in the third person. Go for it.
tenwholeryou: (you sure? it looks poisonous)

[he guesses that counts as a vow? He isn't really an expert, so he's just going to circle around Dave lifting both of his hands to check.]
themouthofhell: ([ ❀ ] hand to chest; closed eyes)

[ And she has no idea what 'creepy broad' means, so just kind of nods. ]

And that's that... now, to find someone else who wants to play.
