[Back home, Lyon is a proud Apprentice Queen's Knight serving the Prince of Falena.  In Mayfield, however, she's just another 16 year old girl.  And teenage girls are expected to attend high school during the week, so that's where Lyon is today.  She seems to be settling in well enough, even if she does feel a little awkward wearing a dress and

N- No, it's okay, I wasn't paying attention either...

[float_like_a]

I guess I'm pretty out of it today.

[dolosa]

But, are you alright...?

[float_like_a]

I just had a bad day. I'll be fine.

[Barton watches the whole exchange with an expressionless face. Once Lyon sits back down, she'll pass by her table and speak to her.]

Nothing you can do. They won't listen. They keep doing the same thing to me, too.

[She shrugs. This is her form of sympathy.]

[float_like_a]

[Lyon is still looking irritated and a little embarrassed that she blew up like that in front of a bunch of strangers, but she gives a cursory nod.]

What do they call you?

[nosoul_nomind]

By my first name. No one's called me that in a long time.

[float_like_a]

What name do you usually go by?

Ignore them.

[The kid who had been napping at the table next to Lyon's? He's awake now, thanks to all that yelling.]

[float_like_a]

It's not that easy.

[commentboxtroll]

Sure it is.

[float_like_a]

I tried at first, but people have been calling me that all day. It's getting hard to just pretend I don't hear them.

[Lucky Lyon has had the supreme good fortune of being slotted into Susan's English class; naturally, knowing everyone in the class by sight, she'll glance up at the new arrival before reaching down into her desk to rummage up the list of students and examine the new names that have appeared.]

You, in the back - Could you come up for a moment, please? Yes, the one with the pink backpack.

[float_like_a]

Me? All right.

[Lyon picks up her backpack and heads up to the front of the room.]

[deaths_heritor]

You're new here, aren't you? Welcome to Mayfield, try not to be too traumatized when they start trying to kill us again.

What's your name?

[float_like_a]

It's Lyon.

[Said with conviction! To hell with what the drones and the attendance list say.]

[The next name on that list is Hidaka, Mamoru. Omi looks equally bothered, but is a little bit more used to it. He'll approach her after class though.]

The drones are pretty stubborn about some things. Names are probably the worst....

[float_like_a]

How do they even know that name? Even in my world, there are only a handful of people who know it.

[sablebombay]

Same here. Probably only five or six people know my real name back home.

I think the town might be pulling this information directly from our minds when we arrive. Sort of like telepathy.

[float_like_a]

Directly from our minds? Is that even possible?

[Sighing a little.]

Although I suppose if it's possible to bring us all here in the first place, just about anything is probably possible.
