Conquest Round Four

[kingofpoisons]

As in previous weeks there are announcements on all the screens, "Please report to the lobby at 12 noon for assembly." If you're not there on time Santana will gather you up and unless you are new she will not be patient.

Even if you are new she probably wont be that patient. Day is once again smiling and that is good news all round really. She is stood on the podium eating a cookie that was probably from Red Day. When everyone is gathered she waits for them to fall silent.

"Well, I am glad you all took our little chat last week to heart. I am pleased to announce that Conquest is once again the winner." Proving that Day's method of headmistressing was obviously far superior to Dolorosa's. "Though a couple of you," and here America and Dirk would get headaches, nothing as bad as what she dealt out last week though, "Thought that fighting was beneath you, the rest of you did well. We had one Conquest only battle," the battle records appear on the screen. "Between Karkat Vantas and Aisha Clanclan, congratulations Karkat for winning."

"Against Fortitude we won four out of five battles, an excellent score. Showing that we are indeed the superior school, congratulations to Nephenee who beat Kamui, Sis Strider who beat Shion, Karkat Vantas who beat Shion and Aisha Clanclan who beat Shion."

She took a bite of cookie and grinned again, "Also well done to Sis for winning the round. You all fought well and I hope that you keep up the good work this next round. Keep on winning and show Fortitude that we are indeed better in every single way."

She ate some more, "I would also like to announce that two of our number became prefects this week, Flynn Scifo and Gino Weinberg, however they due to unfortunate circumstances they are both indisposed at the moment." Meaning they were both unconscious in the infirmary, it was a thing that happened sometimes, Day didn't know why.

"Now for those who will bring us to victory once again," a list of names came up on the screen behind her and she read them out.

"Golbez
Suzaku Kururugi
Ruka Urushibara
Estonia
Cirno
Yuki Yagizawa
Tear
Sis Strider"

[Yuki was not expecting to hear her name with the current list of Players. Her eyes go wide and, well, it's obvious that she's a bit afraid. But after a moment her expression changes to one of determination.]

[Now to find some weapons]

[swordofzero]

Suzaku is still a little dazed though he actually slept the night before and his shock has turned into grim determination. He will fight, so that they can defeat this system, he will go home and complete zero requiem to finally atone for his sins.

He stands near the back glaring through the speech, he just shrugs when his name is called, all his worries of not wishing to fight or harm others disappeared in the remembrance that he had already done the worst he could do. No good would ever change that.

[merde]

Tear was quite honestly surprised to see her name come up. Wasn't she exempt because she worked in the Exaclan store? She supposed not. Finding a weapon she could actually hold could be a problem.

And this was going to be such a bother, taking time away from her work at the store. Between battling, the store, and teaching, she had never been so busy. It was fortunate that she didn't have adventuring to worry about on top of it...

So she sighed exasperatedly, and flitted amongst the crowd, to seek out a requisite Weapon.

[smupette]

Sis knew this was coming, her being a player again. She rubbed her temples, and a very displeased look crossed her face. This was quite a troublesome thing. As much as she loved fighting, this was not the way she wished to do it.

"Thank you for the acknowledgement." She had only won the round with the transfer really. "I will do my best again this round. I do not promise the outcome."

[frozenmemories]

[She had not been expecting her name to be called and was about ready to slightly pout again. When she heard her name, her starting pout turned into a LARGE grin.]

Alright! My turn!

[With that, she started jumping up and down. excitedly]

[relentless_sentinel]

Neph bowed a bit at her name in courtesy to Day calling it out as a victor. She'd learned that victory meant money, and money meant she could take care of Kotaro. So if that was what it took to earn enough to make sure he was comfortable, it was fine.

She wasn't so...lucky?...this time to have her name called, but still Nephenee was determined. She wasn't sure who to talk to to be her player, but the thought of Kotaro being one again made her worried. What if they were seperated and she couldn't protect him? Hmm...a dilemma, to be sure.

Well, there wasn't anything she could do about it now besides find Kotaro and hope someone vowed with both of them...

[stoppedhiding]

Again? He supposed he'd actually have to fight, now that he knew the consequence for losing too much money. First, he decided to seek out people he knew.

He looked about and started to walk about the outside of the crowd, looking for someone who seemed as though they could use a Player to grant them rights.
