rakuen | Fortitude: Round 4 Start

You may notice that once again the number of Prefects by Dolorosa's side has risen. On the stage with her is Lelouch, Yuri, and Gamzee. Nanami has been sick the past few days and will be missing the assembly, something that is rather routine by now. Dolorosa talks amiably with the three present Prefects before the assembly starts.

It should be a familiar scene by now, Dolorosa smiling out over her students.

"Hello, my students, another round has come to an end and another is starting anew. We were not the victors of round 3 but, just as you have in past rounds, everyone fought well," she laughs a bit, "And perhaps maybe it is a bit safer for all of us that Conquest has won the round, so I congratulate you on avoiding the wrath of Day and Santana." She can't help but poke fun at her fellow staff members, it is easier to make light of the situation than punish her students unnecessarily.

"The downside of losing is that you are not rewarded the extra Raks, but let us not dwell on defeat and instead focus on the victories of the round," behind her, as per usual, the Battle Records show up on the screen.

"I am once again proud of my students, you very rarely battle among yourselves, not that I am discouraging you. I extend a congratulations to Shion for defeating Becca."

As the inter-school battle records show up on the screen she looks surprised but not disappointed, "For Inter-school battles we should congratulate Lelouch," she turns to her Prefect, "for defeating Feferi." That's right, Fortitude won a grand total of two battles, one of them fought against itself. Students should take a moment to be relieved over the fact they are not in Conquest.

"Lastly, we should congratulate Dahlia for winning the round," Dolorosa begins to applaud for all the victors.

"And without further ado, the Players for round 4 are:

Oichi
Dave
Gamzee
Marisa
Jade
Inui
Spain
Nanash

Have a wonderful round."

[come talk to your headmistress?]

[Oh ew, it's that blond kid staring up at you. He looks like he has a question to ask though.]

[God, this blond kid always wants to talk to her, she can never get him to shut up]

It seems you are a Player yet again. Would you consider yourself lucky or unlucky?

[He gives her a nonchalant shrug at her question.]

is this randomized???
because three out of four rounds
im either really popular
or my luck sucks that much

Yes, this is all randomized, even I do not know who will be chosen as a Player until the list is up. It may seem rather unfortunate that you have been chosen for Player so frequently, but it also allows you many rights and many opportunities to give others rights and forge connections with them. Do not think of your near constant Player status as a curse, but as a blessing.

i dont mind
honestly
im just wondering why so many of the same people keep getting chosen
but i guess it isnt bad
no assholes to treat other players like shit or what not
i just dont like the rules sometimes
well
more specifically
the touching penalties

I cannot tell you why you keep being chosen, but keep working hard at it. [she chuckles] Is there someone in particular that makes the penalty unfortunate?

just
if my friends and i cant even
...
no this is too embarrassing
nevermind

[How do you feelings and words? What is being a normal child?]

Ah yes, spending time with any friend may be difficult if you find that you cannot make contact with one another. Just sitting next to each other could end up being a painful event. It's rather unfortunate. Maybe next round you will be free of that burden.
