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.

We haven't met? [Hm, she must be a Jade dreaming in the past, from before they met. Or maybe she's an alternate timeline Jade who hasn't realized she's dead yet? Tricky waters.]

That's okay. We're meeting now, so that's that! [:)] I'm Aradia. I don't think I trolled you that much before your game started, but my username is apocalypseArisen. Do you remember me?

[greenspaces]

[ ugu~~~ ] I don't remember anybody but Karkat. But this place steals memories away...so I think I believe you.

[autofairy]

It steals memories away? [She hadn't quite heard this part yet. That seemed a little disconcerting.]

[greenspaces]

Yeah. I couldn't remember what my friends look like...I don't remember colors, either.

[autofairy]

It can do that?! ... I don't think I've forgotten anything important. I would notice if I did, wouldn't I? [unless she totally forgot about what she forgot, aaahhhh memories are important this is bad.]

[greenspaces]

Not really...unless you needed to think of it, and it wasn't there.

[autofairy]

That's kind of worrying! [putting it lightly] What sorts of things do people forget, do you know?

[greenspaces]

I forgot what my friends looked like. And Dave forgot...um. I dunno.

[autofairy]

[Jade forgot what Dave forgot memoryception]

Is... there a way to get these memories back? They can't just be lost forever. Memories don't work that way!

[greenspaces]

Definitely. [ She holds up a piece of green string around her neck. On it is a memory charm. ] This has my memories of all my friends' faces on it. You have to have someone buy you it.

[autofairy]

[She leans in a little to get a better look. That little charm had all her friends' faces in it? Huh.]

Okay... so I can't buy one for myself? [hmm, that would make it too easy maybe] Well, that's alright! If we all work together, it'll be no problem! Right?

[greenspaces]

Yeah. I'll buy you one, if you need me to. I like making my friends happy.
