[KIN'UN]

[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]

[wow]

Kieran Adair.

[She is given No Further Explanation.]

But tone may already be a lost cause. There is already talk of being named after numbers and bat men.

[ he's lucky that she only knows the meaning behind obscure Italian and French words and not basic English names.

an annoyed twitch in her jaw.

So very human conceit.

[She is very stuck on this name thing.]

Humans do tend to name their children with meaning, too.

[This is just. Not that circumstance?]

And also to name themselves numbers, and bat men. I have met humans, Mister Adair. Yes, I know this.

Perhaps the issue lies more with your [INDECISION] need to choose a name with more meaning than is necessary for the situation?

[Look at that, she did decide on something.]

Severine Fairplay.

[Would it be tactless to say that the first name seems to suit her?]

Ms Fairplay. It is certainly memorable.

The opposite is ideal.

[Such is his own strategy.]

Even if the other would be amusing in its own way.

[Ms… Foulplay. How deliciously silly.]

[ "fair play" is quite opposite to her parents in spirit, even if it isn't the direct antonym to their family name. opposite, even, to Sprezzatura's intended method of comeuppance. but let's not worry about that right now. ]

I would like for to not be laughed at when spoken to by name.

[Indeed, it says something for her own character that she would ascribe it to herself as an opposite β€” but that is noted and not remarked upon. Yet.]

A gentleman would never.
