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

[utopiamods]

As you all crowd onto the platform, all few of you, you are met by three girls and five boys, two of which are bizarre grey-skinned aliens. All eight 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 heavy clouds and cold drizzle. They're all sodden. Each has a beret with a crest pinned to the front - four depicting a shield, the other four a sword.

At the first lull in the chatter, one pale shield-crested girl speaks up, cutting through your conversations coldly.

"Attention please."

She explains that the eight of them are prefects, representing the two schools in Rakuen. Nanami, she points to herself, Yuri, Lelouch and Gamzee of Fortitude; and Santana, Flynn, Feferi and Gino of Conquest.

The girl called Santana interrupts, "Look assholes, I'm tired of doing this every week, just come to me when your name is called." They all move to stand in two groups some distance away from each other, and the two that spoke read off names.

Uhh, not liking my name because it's Spanish? Duh.

[pennypincher]

I've never heard of any place called Hispania, okay? And you look human to me, so I'm totally not racist.

[straightupzorra]

Ugh, I'm so tired of people from other planets. Where are you even from?

[pennypincher]

The great and glorious ancient city of Vane!

...other planets? You mean I'm not on Lunar anymore?

[straightupzorra]

Lunar? So you're from the moon then. Sure, why not.

And no, you're not on your planet any more, we're somewhere else.

[pennypincher]

No, it's just called Lunar. You should know that. You kidnapped me.

[straightupzorra]

Yes, because I came to your planet and kidnapped you while you were sleeping and put you on a train and then waited here to greet you so you wouldn't think it was me. You've uncovered my master plan.

[pennypincher]

Oh, was that sarcasm meant to mislead me? Obviously I was using the plural "you". You and whoever it is you're working for.

[straightupzorra]

Let's try this again. Yes, because I am here of my own free will and love having to deal with new kidnapped people.

[pennypincher]

Whatever! I don't care about your problems! I just want to go home.

[straightupzorra]

Oh my god. Look, my problems are now your problems too. We're all stuck here so you might as well listen to me like you're supposed to.

[pennypincher]

Who died and made you goddess?

[straightupzorra]

I'm staff here, I can do whatever I want.

[pennypincher]

Hmph. Whatever. Just try not being such a mega-jerkface about it.

[straightupzorra]

Sorry, it's like all I know how to be.
