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.

[Redglare was cautious at first to step out. She quickly figured that the sun wasn't going to kill her though, and just steps off.

You wouldn't even think she's blind with how easily she walks through the crowd. She smells deeply. Oh holy shit, everything smells so wonderful here. All these strange creatures are positively delicious.]

You called my name? I suppose it is only right of me to approach when called.

[straightupzorra]

And which name are you? [then she looks up] Oh, another troll, and an adult one at that. Would you happen to know Dolorosa?

[l3g1sl4t1ng]

Neophyte Redglare.

I am not familiar with her in terms of acquaintances, but you can say I have heard of her before. Why is it that you ask?

[straightupzorra]

[and she checks the name off the list]

She's the only other adult troll here, all the others are children and they seem to know each other so I just. [she cuts herself off, why bother explaining] Whatever. Any questions?

[l3g1sl4t1ng]

That is quite an intelligent assumption, but unfortunately I do not know her personally.

None really. I suppose my only question is that I would like to know how the status of one dead works here. I assume this is not an afterlife, but I will be honest. I am sure I had died, yet I have arrived here.

[straightupzorra]

[she ruffles around in her pocket and pulls out an undead ring] It means you have one of these, it marks you as dead, some will come here with them, like you, and others will die while here and get one, like me. During battle undead rings mean that you will be hurt by light element attacks and healed by dark element attacks, but there are some exceptions to that.
