rakuen | 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.

Hello Dave, how are you doing today?

[Dave gives her a thumbs up. Aside from the usual sleep troubles a 13 year old playing a crappy session would get, he's actually got stuff to do today.

He hasn't even considered his roommates hating his guts when he starts playing music at odd hours of the night. Nope.]

[she smiles at him]

I'm glad you are doing well. Your new PDA is working alright?

[The PDA he pulls out looks far too worn to be a new one.]

harley found my pda apparently
...
i dont know what to do with the other one now

It never hurts to have a back up, besides if you ever need the extra Raks you can sell it back to Recette. [she knows you're a big customer there!]

i guess i can hold onto it
until another kid hits the platform
seeing as multiple us is a fad

[Well, there's only been an extra John for now, but he's expecting more kids to show up eventually. It's only a matter of time.]

raks isnt really a problem for me
im just full of it
i seem to just keep getting it
on the account that i apparently end up with all the
weapons
...

[He almost typed bitches. But for some reason, that just seemed really awkward to type of Dolorosa. It's like telling your mom you were covered in bitches. It just doesn't really fly...]

You seem rather unphased by the prospect of multiples, most people are not as open to the idea.

[she laughs]

You just seem to be a Player all the time, that must help in collecting Raks.

[I don't think Dolorosa would really understand waking up covered in bitches. Even if she was that 'bitch' at one point in her life... maybe it's a good thing Mindfang isn't here]

well to me
it isnt that big of a deal
ive seen like sixteen of myselves
myselfs
myself...?
selves

[Wow the English language can go fuck itself.]

in like one place
i mean it was technically all me
im going to stop talking about this now because it probably sounds weird
and makes no sense
but yeah
being a player is convenient
i can buy shit on my own
without having to harass people about it

[Dave feels all grown up being able to purchase stuff on his own. Aww yeah.]
