Who: All y'all
When: Day 1 – Morning
Where: Everywhere
What: School is in

[Somewhere, a bell begins to ring. You may know the type—obnoxious and loud, signalling the start of a brand new day of lectures and learning. Rise and shine, lovelies; wakey wakey eggs and bakey! And with that, just as the toll falls silent, you hear the sound you may have been waiting for: the click of a lock.

You're free to explore.]

[oh no it's you oh no you're not on the same team, oh no everything.]

Rena! You're... you're here, too.

[takencontrol]

[ oh no ]

. . . yes, well. [ smiles, despite the situation ]

I couldn't leave you here by yourself, could I? . . . Fox is here too.

[cantstopthebeat]

[rushing over to hug her—though she pauses when she hears the name fox, and then in a rush:]

—He is? Really? Rue's here, too—

[takencontrol]

He is, he's in my team—ah? She's. . . here? Ah . . .

[ blinks, eyes full and wide even as her arms reach out to Ferril's hands ]

. . . why? Why here. . . ?

[cantstopthebeat]

[taking them, squeezing them]

We have Vanilla from Teal, too—and I don't know.

[takencontrol]

. . . . Do you think. . . everyone else could be here, too. . . ?

[ by "everyone else" she means "iris and teal", of course. ]

[cantstopthebeat]

I—maybe... if Fox is here, and Rue, Vanilla, and Macaron...

[takencontrol]

. . . ! Macaron!

. . . . . . She's going to enjoy herself here, isn't she. . .

[cantstopthebeat]

I ... I think so. This is her kind of thing, isn't it...

[takencontrol]

Hm . . .

You must be careful. Perhaps we should ally ourselves with her.

[cantstopthebeat]

[a pause, she's doing the math as more and more people make themselves known.]

Four teams out of six, though... We could try to ally with each other, but. . . [it might not work out if we do have to play a bad game.]

[takencontrol]

Woe is the team that doesn't have an Iris or Teal.
