Fortitude: Round 5 Start

Once again Dolorosa stands on the stage with her four Prefects, Nanami is finally out of her coma and the three other Prefects stand on either side of her. It should be a familiar scene by now, Dolorosa smiling out over her students, but maybe she looked a bit happier than last round. That can only mean one thing...

"Hello, my students, another round has come to an end and another is starting anew. We were the victors of round 4 and just as you have in past rounds, won or lost, everyone fought well," she takes a moment to applaud her school, "I am so very proud of all of you, each of you are coming more and more accustomed to the school and excelling, even if you believe it to be unfair. With this unity you will all do great things here. Don't let me down."

"I hope you're all enjoying the bonus of extra Raks for winning the round, I suggest you all go out and buy yourself a treat, I am particularly fond of the chocolate that Recette sells in her shop, but you're not here to hear me talk about sweets, let us get to the battle records." behind her, as per usual, the Battle Records show up on the screen.

"I believe we had more Fortitude battles this round than any round past, but let us congratulate Nanashi for defeating Jade, Spain for beating Nanashi, Inui for defeating Spain, Dave for defeating Gamzee, and Jade for defeating Marisa."

The interschool battle records appear on screen, "For Inter-school battles we should congratulate Jade for defeating Cirno, Spain for defeating Suzaku, Nanashi for defeating Golbez, Spain for defeating Golbez, Dave for defeating Suzaku, Jade for defeating Suzaku, and Marisa for defeating Cirno,"

"Lastly, we should congratulate Dave, Jade, and Spain for winning the round," Dolorosa begins to applaud for all the victors.

"And without further ado, the Players for round 5 are:
Dave,
Marisa,
Jade,
John,
Daenerys

Have a wonderful round!"

While the screen usually remains on the names those who are going to be Players for round time, it unexpectedly cuts over to the Conquest assembly. Dolorosa looks up at the screen and covers her mouth, she knows what's coming and knows that she doesn't want her students to witness it.

"Losing the round, as bad as it is. Is not what has made me angry today." Okay it was a big part of what had made her angry, but, "On Friday evening I was attacked, in my office. We have told you time and time again, it is not our fault you are here, taking your anger out on us is not necessary or smart." Her eyes glinted again, "I have my suspicions as to who my attacker is, and they will learn. That disobedience is met with punishment. That I cannot be threatened, and it is unwise to try." At that she turned to Flynn and he crumpled, her and Satana focused the warning penalty on him. The pain would be too much for him to stand or talk. It lasted for ten minutes,anyone who moved or talked was hit with a warning penalty strong enough to sink them to their knees. When it was over she stepped away from Flynn, who was curled up on the floor. It would be a few moments before he had the strength to stand. "Dismissed."

Throughout the broadcast Dolorosa tries to cut the stream but nothing works, Fortitude students won't be punished for moving or talking but it is still something she does no want them to witness.

"Please remain calm my students," she says in a shaky voice as the stream cuts out, "I'm sure everyone will be fine."

Procedure... [ She wavers, gripping her shirt fabric over her chest. How terrifying! ] But-- she said she had her suspicions, not that she knew for sure.

F-forgive me for saying so, but I think I like you much more than her. She seems like such a horrible person.

Nn... I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so rude.

[ Oh, she likes Dolorosa... Even if she does suspect she's totally fake. ] Yes, ma'am.

Ah, I'll leave you be. I'm sure you have much to do today.

[Dave was trying to abscond as quickly as possible. Of course, this meant that he wasn't paying too much attention to where he was going. It only made sense he might have ran into Dolorosa.

He bowed quickly in apology, but it seemed like he was trying to rush out as soon as possible.]

[He kind of gave her a curt nod, mostly because he had no idea how to actually reply to her properly. He had gotten so used to having a texting device on him, that he was now stuck without no means of replying other then gestures.

He waved his hand dismissively, mostly since he didn't mind being a Player again. He'd be more surprised if he wasn't a Player nowadays.]

[He looks from side to side before giving her a shrug.

Fuck if he knows. It's probably back where it got dropped. He empties his pockets to show that he doesn't know where it is.]

He waves his hands a little frantically. He didn't want her to buy him a new one! He was sure he could find it on his own. And even if he couldn't find it, he could purchase his own fine.

Sob. What is getting used to people trying to help him like this?

He winces a bit. He knew she knew, but it still was kind of unsettling. unsettling in the, I guess it actually happened, type of way.

Dave shoves his hands in his pockets, chewing on his lip. He kind of felt like a little kid being babied (except he doesn't know how that actually feels).

[To say he was angry was putting it mildly. Nunnally had only recently come out of her coma, and now her headmistress was putting on a show of power. Flynn and Yuri had pulled each others' stars, but it was clear they were close friends anyway.

It was clear that Flynn hadn't been able to do anything wrong, he'd spent the entire previous round in a coma. So it must have been Yuri. He had not been acting entirely like himself on the platform, either.

If that was the punishment for a Prefect attacking a headmistress, then he wondered if that was something Suzaku would accept. But there was still Nunnally...

He cut off his rage and transferred it to alarm when he turned to Dolorosa.]

Headmistress, is there anything you can do to get my sister away from that woman? She's in a wheelchair, and she's very fragile. I'll even take her place, if I have to. [Have a slightly cracking voice to add emphasis.]

[personal profile] veepofchess 2012-03-05 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Can you see that disappointment come across his face? He sighs.] No, you're right. Calling attention to her would only make things worse. I just panicked. I'm sorry.
veepofchess: (could have danced)

My friend is in that school. With any luck, he may be able to protect her. I can only hope that she continues to not be a player.
