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.

[ on the other side, Nanami refrains from adding commentary beyond the occasional blood-flecked coughing fit. ]

[Feferi's standing on the platform, adjusting her beret and turning the rings on her fingers. This was her first new arrival day as a prefect, and she'd be a liar if she said she wasn't nervous. She was determined to face it with a smile, though.]

Hello, everyone! My name is Feferi Peixes, and I'm one of the Conquest prefects. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask me, no matter what school you're in. I'm happy to try and help!

OPEN

[ Rain. She could deal with that - it was tactile, it was a reminder of home, and she could almost imagine that it was the element obstructing her vision. She wasn't shivering very much anymore, despite the chill.

But she stood on the platform, unsure of where to go next. She didn't have a clue where she was. People jostled her on either side, moving away from the train, but to where?

She took a step forward. Didn't want to seem too weak. Didn't want to seem to unguarded. Then another one. Maybe, if she was lucky, she wouldn't run into somebody. Not right away. ]

Pressed against the side of the train station, parasol over him to try and keep off the rain Kotaro looked around. He was here to see if his brother was here. He came every single week after work to watch for him. But it didn't look like he was here this time either.

Still Kotaro smiled and waved at the new people. He liked meeting new people even if they wern't his brother!
