Fortitude: Round 5 Start

[mamarosa]

Once again Dolorosa stands on the stage with her four Prefects, Nanami is finally out of her coma and the three other Prefects stand on either side of her. It should be a familiar scene by now, Dolorosa smiling out over her students, but maybe she looked a bit happier than last round. That can only mean one thing...

"Hello, my students, another round has come to an end and another is starting anew. We were the victors of round 4 and just as you have in past rounds, won or lost, everyone fought well," she takes a moment to applaud her school, "I am so very proud of all of you, each of you are coming more and more accustomed to the school and excelling, even if you believe it to be unfair. With this unity you will all do great things here. Don't let me down."

"I hope you're all enjoying the bonus of extra Raks for winning the round, I suggest you all go out and buy yourself a treat, I am particularly fond of the chocolate that Recette sells in her shop, but you're not here to hear me talk about sweets, let us get to the battle records." behind her, as per usual, the Battle Records show up on the screen.

"I believe we had more Fortitude battles this round than any round past, but let us congratulate Nanashi for defeating Jade, Spain for beating Nanashi, Inui for defeating Spain, Dave for defeating Gamzee, and Jade for defeating Marisa."

The interschool battle records appear on screen, "For Inter-school battles we should congratulate Jade for defeating Cirno, Spain for defeating Suzaku, Nanashi for defeating Golbez, Spain for defeating Golbez, Dave for defeating Suzaku, Jade for defeating Suzaku, and Marisa for defeating Cirno,"

"Lastly, we should congratulate Dave, Jade, and Spain for winning the round," Dolorosa begins to applaud for all the victors.

"And without further ado, the Players for round 5 are:
Dave,
Marisa,
Jade,
John,
Daenerys

Have a wonderful round!"

While the screen usually remains on the names those who are going to be Players for round time, it unexpectedly cuts over to the Conquest assembly. Dolorosa looks up at the screen and covers her mouth, she knows what's coming and knows that she doesn't want her students to witness it.

"Losing the round, as bad as it is. Is not what has made me angry today." Okay it was a big part of what had made her angry, but, "On Friday evening I was attacked, in my office. We have told you time and time again, it is not our fault you are here, taking your anger out on us is not necessary or smart." Her eyes glinted again, "I have my suspicions as to who my attacker is, and they will learn. That disobedience is met with punishment. That I cannot be threatened, and it is unwise to try." At that she turned to Flynn and he crumpled, her and Satana focused the warning penalty on him. The pain would be too much for him to stand or talk. It lasted for ten minutes,anyone who moved or talked was hit with a warning penalty strong enough to sink them to their knees. When it was over she stepped away from Flynn, who was curled up on the floor. It would be a few moments before he had the strength to stand. "Dismissed."

Throughout the broadcast Dolorosa tries to cut the stream but nothing works, Fortitude students won't be punished for moving or talking but it is still something she does no want them to witness.

"Please remain calm my students," she says in a shaky voice as the stream cuts out, "I'm sure everyone will be fine."

He waves his hands a little frantically. He didn't want her to buy him a new one! He was sure he could find it on his own. And even if he couldn't find it, he could purchase his own fine.

Sob. What is getting used to people trying to help him like this?

[mamarosa]

She shakes her head and laughs a bit, "No, I insist on helping you find it, I know what caused you to lose it and I am not happy about it. I will be reprimanding Nanami soon, and it would not be fair to pay for something twice."

[knightime]

He winces a bit. He knew she knew, but it still was kind of unsettling. unsettling in the, I guess it actually happened, type of way.

Dave shoves his hands in his pockets, chewing on his lip. He kind of felt like a little kid being babied (except he doesn't know how that actually feels).

[mamarosa]

She laughs a bit, but not in a condescending way, "Don't be stubborn child," and in the most lighthearted way, "I'm your headmistress, you must do as I say."

[knightime]

Oh yes, Dave is pretty much pouting at this point. That's totally cheating. Cheating headmistresses.

But he turns so he's standing next to her, so obviously, she apparently has won. He knows she wouldn't do anything to him if he still refused, but maybe he didn't want to know what happens if Nanami found out he was disobeying the headmistress of all people.

[mamarosa]

Dave is so cute when he pouts, in fact, Dolorosa laughs a bit, "You are very cute when you pout like that, it must have gotten you anything you wanted back home."

She begins slowly walking to Recette's shop, waiting for him to set the pace.

Dave's brain is currently keyboard smashing at the comment. He will just walk alongside with his face looking at the ground. Sobbing inside. Why.
