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.

[So Rose can see normally. Maybe she forgot how to see? Is that even something you can forget?]

we lose memories when we get here
i mean
jade relay that to her
maybe she forgot how to see
wow that sounds stupid even in text
but its the only thing i can think of at the moment
since this place doesnt usually do anything else when we arrive
...
err
you might have to explain to her that
i never could talk though
wow this is like the most awkward reunion ever

[And now he was worried again. Because this wasn't a, Dave just up and decided to forget how to talk. This was a, Dave never could talk. But he knew he was just overthinking. His friends weren't douchebags who'd ditch him because he can't talk.]

FUCK Y'ALL I'M DOING PROSE

"You lose memories when you get here," she repeats dutifully. "Maybe you forgot how to see...? But Dave has never been able to talk, I don't think. And I..."

She frowns, looking at Dave for the answer. Does she tell Rose what happened, back at home? Is it important? It must be -- after all, Rose was there, she thinks at least. She was there in the dreams. But then again so was John, and Vriska said that he had died. Maybe she had died, too.

"I died. I don't exist any more." Her voice shrinks a little bit, but maybe due to her friends' positive influence, she doesn't try to run away from the conversation. "I'm not an alpha Jade."

[ She lets out a long breath. ] Jade... I'm sorry. [ How many doomed Jades are there? How many of any of them? ] To both of you. I didn't realize. [ She wants to know how Jade died, but she doesn't want to push her further, and she doesn't want to go looking in the blackness to find them to hug again. So she changes to All Business Rose. ]

I'm going to need some kind of walking stick. And, in the long term, a means of communicating with Dave. Are there trees nearby?

[knightime]

Don't ask Dave. They had some messy fight about this before. Dave is more then glad that him and Jade are friends because he spent a little while thinking they weren't.

well pass some trees
trees are of the abundance here and everything
we should take lalonde to the shop
the pda has an upgrade that can help with this

Except he wasn't sure if Rose had enough to pay for it. Good thing he can cover costs, even if she'll get upset with him. Oops.
