On the platform: Meet the new characters!

[utopiamods]

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.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hurry it up already, It's freaken' cold out here." Kevin grumbles at her, stomping his feet to shake off the cold. It's one thing to be out here in this outfit when it's cold and wet. It's another entirely to have to do it with that retarded beret on his head.

His sunglasses, which usually sit atop his crown, have been relocated to dangling off his vest, which- he discovered early on- gets in the way of him crossing his arms. So, he has to stick with jamming his hands into his pockets for now.

She looks at the other person, "Are you talking to me?"

The cold's nothing for her, but then again, she lived with Russia for awhile. And winters were cold before the invention of central heating.

"Yeah, unless there's somebody else named after a non-existent country around here." He replied, completely unrepentant as he fought a shiver that ran down his spine. God, at this rate he was going to tip over and freeze solid.

[scarredchick]

"Oi! I'm not named after anything!" she smirks. "I am the country of Prussia!"

She observes the shiver and her smirk widens. "Kesesesesese~ I'm so awesome I'm not even cold!"

[imperceptible]

It was unfortunate for Prussia that of the two ways a person could go when exposed to the nations, Kevin had gone for the Holy-Crap-These-Guys-Are-Crazy option. Really, could you blame him?

"Yeah, but some of us are. Sooo hurrying this up would be really awesome."

[scarredchick]

It wasn't like she really cared if people didn't want to believe in countries. It didn't hurt her any.

"Maybe if you told us what we're trying to hurry up?" she said blandly.

[imperceptible]

"Getting the introduction out of the way so we can go back inside?" He replied, raising an eyebrow at Prussia with an obvious duh tone in his voice. Although, why they didn't just get one guy out here to lead them back to the schools to begin with was beyond him.

[scarredchick]

"Then why are you sticking to just talking to me? If you want to meet us, shouldn't you move on? I know I'm awesome, but you're the one that wants to go inside...and inside where?" she trails off into the question, confused.
