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.

It's all right. Most people haven't met one of us before now. I'm a troll, originally from the planet Alternia. There are a few of us here, and the Headmistress of Fortitude is one of us, too.

I see. What did you do on Alternia? [ she looks young, comparatively, but trolls could be like krityans, so. For all he knows she's much older than she looks ]

[cullscuttlefish]

I was - I don't remember a lot. I just remember playing a very strange game with a lot of my friends, then waking up here. I think a lot of the memories from my past are locked off in the system still.

[whitestknight]

But you still remember your friends, at least... That's good.
