More rain. It seemed the wet season was taking its toll on the students, and there didn't seem to be an end in sight. Even still, it did nothing to deter the school's various different students from participating in their studies. As if fate knew of this dreary boredom, a new student made her presence known to the entire class. Fate indeed.... The slightly short [url=http://i.imgur.com/jBvZRat.jpg?1]girl[/url] had long black hair that cascaded down to her back while a set of red eyes contrasted with pale skin. Either this was a normal look from where she was from, or she had some ideas about how people perceived her. Writing her name on the chalkboard, the newbie turned around to face the class with a small smile and a bow of respect. Even now she was scanning, looking for specific individuals. Seemingly ordinary people with irregular ties to their own destiny. Katashi Todo. Jack MacArthur. Anri Rokudo. Anthony “Tony” Wright. Alex Carter. Mii Kurozawa And her. Yuriya Yozora. Fully aware of the unsettling nature of her appearance, the girl made an effort to widen her smile though it still came across as forced and akward. [color=ed1c24]"Hello. My name is Yoshida Shizune. It's very nice to meet you all." [/color] [hr] [color=a0410d][center][h3][u]-Day 0-[/u][/h3][/center][/color] Shizune groaned slightly as her vision slowly began to return. Her head hurt. That was something new. Sitting up, she looked around to take in her surroundings. And the more she saw the more she soon remembered. An average school day. The end of the day actually. A couple of members from the school P.O.I.R Club-whatever that stood for-had decided to help a couple of students with research or something. Always research. Something happened. The power went out. Everyone else had gone home, so no staff or other students were present at the time. Shizune vaguely remembered an earthquake. How could she forget that? Then everything went black. Standing up now, she saw that the classroom was now torn apart. Desks were skewered everywhere, the floorboards were covered with dust and a sticky substance that could have been blood or mucus. But the worse part was the outside world. Shizune walked over to the window and opened it, revealing a wide forest that seemed to span for miles surrounding Hideki High. The sky was blood red with no stars in sight. Only a pitch black moon. The World of Wasted Dreams. A nightmare. A twisted parody of our own reality. Hell. Shizune narrowed her eyes and turned back, only to see what she already knew was there. All of the students were sprawled on the ground, unconscious. Sucked in with her in this dark realm. Walking over to them, Shizune began to gently wake each of them up. [color=ed1c24]"Jack, are you ok? Anri, please wake up. Katashi, you have to get up."[/color] Her gaze followed over until landing on someone much similar to herself. Her best friend. Or so it seemed. [color=ed1c24]"Yu-cha-"[/color] she stopped herself, hesitating with,[color=ed1c24] "....Yozora, you must wake up. Quickly, before they arrive."[/color] Her warnings were suddenly drowned out by a melody of music. Violin music. It was beautiful. A song that spoke to the soul and opened up the hearts of mortal men. Listening to the sweet music coming closer to their position, Shizune paled. What? Why was he here? This was too soon! [color=ed1c24]"Everyone, please!"[/color] She spoke with renewed urgency now. [color=ed1c24]"We have to leave now!"[/color] The [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lOJcldYtmc]music[/url] got steadily closer, entering the run-down classroom, surrounding Shizune with its deafening noise....
