Part 1: Coming to Emerald City
[As the sun goes down, a train pulls into Emerald high with all of the new students]
Iris: *Walks from the train and starts walking towards dorm*
Sarge: *Looking around Paulownia about to exit the mall*
Iris: *Makes her way by Paulownia mall, her eyes move towards the malls public TV, and her forehead begins to hurt. Continues walking*
Sarge: *makes his way out of the crowd and exits Paulownia taking a taxi to the Dormitory*
Iris: *takes a second train over to the Dormitory, leaves train and looks at Dormitory door* So this is where I'll be living....
[A mysterious door appears next to the dormitory, it opens on its own revealing a light]
Iris: ... *Walks into the mysterious door*
Sarge: *arrives at the dorm and enters the lobby*
[In the velvet room]
Pointy Nosed Man: Ah, a new guest. Welcome to the velvet room. I am your assistant to aid you in your abilities. I see, you are different from past guests... You seem to have an ability that is most intruiging... You have the ability to change your strengths and weaknesses... Do you know where you are?
Iris: ?! The velvet room...? Weaknesses...? W-who are you?!
Pointy Nosed Man: I am Igor, head of the velvet room. You have the ability to switch out your powers, making your strength nearly infinate, like the number zero. You can access powers hidden deep within the tarot cards. Albeit, your ability is weak now... You will come across your power two days from now at midnight..
Iris: Weak...?! Zero...? Tarot cards...?
Igor: Well, your power isn't weak but it is in development.. You represent the number zero and its tarot card, The Fool. Heed me, because you are of The Fool Arcana it does not represent that you are a fool, it represents that you have infinite abilities and skills alike. You can access this room in your dreams and through a door with blue light coming from the inside. You will form many hardships with your dormates. It is essential you take care of them like family. Do you have any other questions?
Iris: N-no....
Igor: Then you shall be on your way. I'm sorry to take your time, next time feel free to visit on your own to ask all the questions you couldn't. Remember rely on your friends.
[Velvet Room door opens to Iris so she can exit]
Iris: [Leaves Velvet Room and enters the dorm, notices a glowing contract on the dormitory desk and looks it over]
Contracts writting: You will take responsibility for all actions you take.
Iris: [looks over contract and then signs it]
[A girl who turns to Iris and smiles warmly at her.] Oh, I didn't expect to see you~! Your name is...Iris, right?
Iris: Umm, yes. And you are?
Girl: My name is Dani.
Iris: Nice to meet you. I believe there are two others living here, am I correct?
Dani: Yes, there are two others.
Iris: Hm, sounds great! Well, I better go unpack. My room is 3-B, right?
Dani: Uh-huh. Do you want me to take you there or do you know the way?
Iris: If you could show me, that'd be great!
[Time passes after that and then that night all of the dormmates watch the news together]
Newscastor: Just two weeks from now three students have been killed during midnight. Medical staff say it was cleary a physical battle the students entered in. No one really knows what happened but officers are going around looking for suspects. And now the weather...
Sarge: *finishes cooking and gives the dormates their food* Hope you guys like sushi. Well anyway whats up with the news? I knew one of those guys... Its odd, Phantom isn't here to see..
Phantom: *walks into the room* Did I hear my name?
[Dani turns to Phantom, smiling while holding a pair of chopsticks in her hands, with a thin piece of makizushi in between the two sticks.]
Dani: Oh hello, Phantom~.
Iris: Oh, I dont think I've met you yet. Im Iris, and you are Phantom i guess?
Phantom: *faintly smiles and nods towards Sarge and Dani* G'morning you two.
Phantom: *glares at Iris* Yes, and who might you be?
Iris: I thought i just said...
Sarge: Hello Phantom.. Uh... She's Iris by the way Phantom, a new dormate. She'll be attending our school, now you two must me hungry so dig in...
Phantom: *muttering under her breath while sitting down* When I said who is she I didn't want her name, I wanted to know why the hell she's here...
Iris: *Begins eating the Sushi*
Sarge: ...Well, Phantom did you hear?.. Three students have been killed during midnight... Strange right?
Phantom: *begins to pick up the sushi with her chopsticks* I suppose... Do we know who any of them are?
Sarge: Yeah Julius, he was one of the track runners at school. It's a shame, the guy was friendly too.
Iris: Well, you dont know, maybe he will come back...
Phantom: What do you mean, "come back"? The students were killed.
Iris: K-killed? S-sorry I was... thinking about something and I guess I didnt hear correctly... Heheh
Sarge: Er... The school was gonna put up a little picture of him up on the first floor next to the gym. His parents are really depressed... The other two that were killed were to college kids about to graduate from their fourth year.
Dani: I hope no one else gets hurt...
Phantom: *looks at the clock.* Oh, time's up. Let's get ready for school.
Sarge: Yeah it's kinda late. Guys go get some rest so we can get up early for school tomorrow. Dani would you mind showing Iris the way around when she comes in?
Iris: I-it's alright. I think I might watch the news a little longer while I study.
[Iris stays up and studies until midnight, all of the sudden the moon outside turns green]
Iris: *looks out window and blinks* H-Huh? *Backs away from the window and runs up to her room sleeping through the rest of the night*
[As the sun comes up, all the students are already up except for Iris]
Sarge: *knocks on Iris' door* Wakey wakey Iris! You're gonna miss the train!
Iris: *Opens door slightly bothered* Err, right.... *walks by and stops* ... Did you by any chance see the moon last night?
Sarge: No, I haven't... What about it?
Iris: It was... green... and something was different.
Sarge: Riiiiight... Iris, ya sure you weren't too tired to think correctly... Well any way, Iris you have to attend school. Go catch the train with Dani. I'll go to school as soon as possible.
Iris: ... Okay. *Leaves dorm and sees Dani out front* Oh, hey!
Dani: Oh hello, Iris. Let's hurry up, we don't want to miss the train.
Iris: Wait... Could I talk to you for a minute? Something has been bothering me...
Dani: Oh, you can tell me. What's been bothering you?
Iris: Last night at about Midnight... I think the moon turned green and something changed... Would you mind staying up with me to study tonight? Just to see if I was imagining it or not...
Dani: A green moon~? That's odd... I won't mind staying up with you.
Iris: Okay, than- !!! Oh jeez. I forgot we gotta get to class
[The two head to school on the train]
Iris: *Walks off the train* Woah... This is Emerald High?! It's huge!
Dani: Mhm. *She opens the doors at the front of the school, holding them for Iris*
Iris: *Walks into the school* Okay, I can find the front desk from here! See you after school!
[As Iris enters the office she sees another Male student at the counter]
Male Student: *talking to the woman at the front counter.*
Front Office Lady: Okay, Mr. Esu, your dorm shall be 3-B
Iris: Hey that's the dorm I stay in, so you are new here too?
Esu: Thanks, Mi-- *turns around to see Iris.* Oh, yes, I am. I come from a different school.
