On the platform: Meet the new characters!

As you all crowd onto the platform and peer through the thick fog that chills the air, you are met by four girls and five boys. One of the girls is a somewhat humanoid grey-skinned, finned alien, but the rest all seem human. All nine 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 dense fog. They're all sodden and cold, and most are irritable. Each has a beret with a crest pinned to the front - three depicting a shield on green, the other six a sword on red.

At the first lull in the chatter, one sickly-pale, shield-crested girl speaks up, cutting through your conversations with her cold, soft voice.

"Attention, please."

She explains that the nine of them are the current prefects of Rakuen, representing the two schools on the island. Nanami, she points to herself, Yuri and Lelouch of Fortitude; and Santana, Flynn, Feferi, Gino, Nephenee and Kevin of Conquest. She doesn't care to explain why the prefects in red and white outnumber those in green and black two to one.

Santana interrupts, "Yeah, yeah. Look, come over when your name is called so we can all get inside." They all move to stand in two groups some distance away from each other, and the two that spoke read off names from their clipboards.

[Kotaro nodded] It's a strange game and we have to play it all the time but if we do it right we get to go home!

[ how does approach this. seriously. staring. ]

Um. [ OKAY LET'S START WITH SOMETHING EASY. ] Are you the... headmistress...?
mamarosa: (Default)

[personal profile] mamarosa 2012-03-23 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I am one of the headmistresses, my school is Fortitude, the Conquest headmistress is Day, but I would be happy to answer any and all questions, at least the ones I am capable of answering.
sideburnsftw: (⊗ uh huuuuuuuh okay)

HI I'M SORRY TOO

[personal profile] sideburnsftw 2012-03-23 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Unless there's been some mix-ups I'm not aware of.

Okay. Right. [ ...squints. ] I don't mean to be rude, or. Or unnecessarily blunt or anything, but...

"Ja, I'll respect you... when you learn to respect your betters," she said.

"Then what else are we doing?" she wondered. She could handle teaching, but what else.

"Apparently this place has some sort of combat sport thing in place. It's like a mix between MMA and paintball. Anyway, they pretty much force everyone to fight each other. And people can actually pull weapons out of their chests." To him that last part still screamed awesome. Extremely awesome at that. But the first part was not so awesome.
heroiccia: (Techi)

[personal profile] heroiccia 2012-03-23 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, forcing everyone. Plus, we can pull weapons out of our chests...well the people who are the players can anyway." As vague of an answer that is. It may help open up a whole new avenue of questions to be asked to him.

"Like gladiator battles?" she asked and then... "WAS?! Weapons come out of people's chests?" That was disturbing.

"Haha! Yes, and yes!" Well she seemed to have been becoming rather excited. He wasn't entirely certain if it was a good excitement yet or not though. "But they don't seem to be real weapons though."

The what?

[ It gives him a headache to try and parse that part of the sentence, so he shakes his head and focuses on the next bit. ]

Okay, PDA, Fortitude. Let's pick up the pace a bit and get there quick.

It certainly did. England sputtered a moment, unable to fathom what America was saying. Finally, she went with the most glaring detail. "Out of... peoples' chests?"

this is stupid
wow


[Dave just heads to his dorm without saying anything else. It was obvious which area was Dave's. One, because all his roommates are girls. Two, Dave's area is kind of messy. His camera is lying on an unmade bed and there's stuff strewn about. So very Dave. Dave just heads to his table, which has an array of notes taped to the wall in front of it. There's a new looking PDA on the desk, which is probably the spare he owns.]

oh cool
apparently none of my roommates are kleptos
thats cool

She snorts, "Your betters? Here you're nothing, I don't care what you were back home. Right now, you're a student and I'm both a Prefect and Staff. Fuck you."

The question of what reality is and is not, is not something that I feel qualified to speak about. It also makes me feel awfully small, don't you agree?

[she laughs a bit] That is a rather advanced word for one as young as you.

You're an artist then? I hope you will show me some of your work one day.

What are you teaching, I'm sorry, I don't believe I caught your name. But if you would like, I can teach you about Alternia during our free time.

[personal profile] mamarosa 2012-03-24 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
You are wondering about my appearance, is that correct? I am a different species from you, a troll from the planet called Alternia. Where I am from we all have grey skin and horns, although everyone's horns are different.

I can not claim normality for you, your definition may vary wildly from mine, but here your abilities lie with the weapon residing in your body.

I am who I say I am, I speak no falsehoods and if you keep assuming that I do, I will be offended. You will believe in my status.

[ She's a little embarrassed now. ]
I didn't mean to insinuate that. Some of the trolls arriving today as well as myself come from such a reality-altering game.
[ Or at least, Aradia does. She can't be sure of the others. After all, neither Jade nor Dave recognized her. ]

As advanced as it is, I thought it was fitting. [ This is probably Rose's influence. She hopes she didn't get it wrong. ]
