The students all arrived early; an overcast, gusty morning that resembled evening with all the oppressive clouds overhead. With a nod to each other - the best always respect the best - they stepped through the gates. Introductions would come later.
The moment they stepped into the entrance hall, something black flashed across their eyes, almost like a long blink, but after it happened they all felt suddenly heady, as if they had been asleep for a long time, and their surroundings were slightly different. A thick iron door cut them off from the world, and it obviously had not been there before. Two security cameras swiveled to watch them as they each said variants of, "What the...?"
They decided to introduce themselves to each other, in case the school had any more surprises.
Now our characters introduce themselves!
Synyster Gates: "Hi, I'm Syn. You might know me. I like my privacy, so don't ask me too many questions right now. We'll get to know each other over time."
Yukari Hirai: "Hello! I'm Yukari. How are you? It's really great to be here with you. ... Listen, I know it was weird how we all felt coming in here, but I'm sure that was just group hysteria. It's gonna be great here, I just know it!"
