After School Detention ([personal profile] detentionroom) wrote2025-07-15 01:31 pm

[KENKOU]

[You needed an escape.

For a moment– however brief, or however not– you longed to get away. Perhaps you envisioned a vacation upon sunny, beachy shores, palm trees at your back and seagulls floating in the air. Perhaps you envisioned nothing at all, and merely accepted that anywhere but here would do. Either way. . .?

You blink. . . and you wake up slouched on a school desk, arms folded with head resting between. You lift your gaze and realize that you've woken up in the middle of a classroom, seated in one of the. . . uh, very few functional desks that remain. The others have been broken into pieces, with legs and splinters of wood scattered across the floor. Deep claw marks decorate the walls, having gouged the sheetrock with jagged, violent gashes. The window curtains are closed, but they too have been torn and ripped to shreds, with holes showing a dark and unidentifiable landscape beyond the four walls which trap you.

And written on the blackboard, in large, white letters that seem to glow in the midst of the dim room lighting, is a warning]


DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR NAME.

[. . . you are not alone]

[Each and every new arrival awakens dressed in a high school-issued track uniform. The design is up to the players, but each uniform is already color-coded to match the group at large. Somewhere on your body is a new marking: a mysterious floral design shaded the same color as your track uniform. It is glowing very gently. And in your pocket you feel. . . something warm. Further investigation reveals a tiny little omamri, tucked away in your outfit, for safe keeping. Huh! What a nice gift!]

[For now, the front door to the classroom is locked. No matter how hard you try– with physical prowess or otherwise– the door cannot be opened.]

[But hey! You can poke around the area, if you'd like! Maybe get to know your new classmates. . . ? Try not to panic. For now, everything is. . . calm]

Cerulean, maybe? Azure? That's a cool-sounding one.

Azure? ...that is quite 'fancy', isn't it.

I'm amenable to it.

And it's not like you're locked in to whatever you pick, right? So you can change your mind later if it doesn't suit you.

I could always have multiple names. Normally I have three.

What d'you have three names for?

Tradition, mostly... Children of the oldest noble families of Faerghus are all named this way.

That must get confusing.

Well, the middle name is mostly ceremonial. No one uses it on its own. Using all three is largely for formal declaration.

Or... when I was about to be scolded, as a child...

[ pfff ]

Now I'm sad I can't hear the whole thing just to imagine what that would sound like.
brokenlance: (warmth)

[A chuckle,] It's quite the mouthful, I'll admit.

Perhaps my dear friends, Felix Hugo Fraldarius and Sylvain Jose Gautier, can give you some idea of how it might sound to your ear.

Oh, yes, very fancy indeed. And scary when you've got a lecture incoming.
