All at once, her consciousness came flooding back to her, startling her awake, and nearly making her fall from the seat she was in.
"oh!" she looks up and around. She has never been in this classroom before, it's not from any school she's been to… So… Why does it look so familiar?
Her eyes land on a huge security camera, and that's when everything comes back to her. The game acting weird, and Monokuma reaching through the screen… that's where she recognises the classroom from… Its the one from Hope's Peak Academy. So.. Did that mean…?
"*kzzt* Upupupu!~ All students please report to the auditorium for opening ceremony"
Brianna could only assume that meant her as well.
But it was only after she got up that she realised what she was wearing.
"No.. No, absolutely not." She was wearing her bubblegum pink maids uniform, the one she wore to vend at anime conventions, complete with big poofy uncomfortable petticoat, knee-high socks, and frilly little maid headband.
Her face was burning at the very thought of meeting anyone else in this uniform, but at the moment, it seemed to be the only set of clothes she had…. Brianna headed for the door, opening it and stepping out into the hallway.
She realises that, it's highly likely that there's going to be other people here like her, people who got dragged through their Tv or their computer, because what are the odds that the person she's hoping is here will actually be here. It's not likely, mostly because she's hoping more than anything that it will be true.
But despite her trying not to get her hopes up, she finds herself rushing to the Auditorium, pushing through those double doors to find 15 pairs of familiar eyes staring back at her. It was them, all 15, and even….
There she was, Sakura. Standing near the back. Brianna could feel her heart pounding out of her chest, her whole body filling with anxiety. The only thing on Briannas mind was what Sakura would think of her. Would Sakura like her, or would she find her annoying? What if she hated her? And what if-
But Briannas thoughts were cut short when someone stepped forward, Ishimaru, "you're tardy! That announcement was nearly five minutes ago, you know!"
"I know" She murmurs an apology and heads further into the room, near where Sakura is, but not quite so close. Brianna has enough sense to know that despite her close feelings to Sakura, the other woman has no clue who she is.
Brianna finds herself more embarrassed than earlier. Her outfit was definitely the oddest of the bunch, and definitely the brightest. The only thing that maybe saved her from standing out completely at this moment was the sheer size of Celestes hair, and really, that could only go so far to cover her.
Everyone else's eyes soon left her, none of them knew each other either, so besides the scolding by ishimaru, there really wasn't anything else to say…
"Oh, we should all introduce ourselves!"
Brianna looked up, recognising the voice as Asahinas.
"We have more pressing issues than who we are right now! Like where the teachers are! It's not proper for teachers to be late like this." Ishimaru pointed at Asahina.
"Though, we really cannot discuss that together without knowing each other's names. How will we know who is addressing who?" Celestia cut in, saving Asahina. \
"So… we should probably get Introductions out of the way before anything else." Sayaka nods.
There was a murmur of agreement that went through the group, and soon, everyone was walking around, introducing themselves to one another.
Brianna feels lost in this situation. With all these 'Ultimates' from this game, she is the odd one out. She's a normal person, right? So she shouldn't have an ultimate ability… She wonders if maybe her uniform has anything to do with her ultimate ability… if that was the case, it was more than likely that she was 'Ultimate Anime-Convention Vendor' as if that wasn't a completely lame ability.
Her "ability" to make sales and smile at customers even when they touched things that clearly had a 'Do Not Touch' sign on them. It wasn't a horrid ability, but Brianna finds herself wishing she could have gotten something cooler than that.
Brianna is snapped from her thoughts when a tall figure steps in front of her.
"I am Sakura Ogami, it's nice to meet you"
She looks up, her gaze met by a striking blue one, and Brianna feels like she's going to cry.
Sakura is here, alive, and real, and talking to her. Brianna is overwhelmed, all at once, clutching her chest in an effort to still her suddenly pounding heard.
"It's… It's really great to meet you too, my name is Brianna *******" Her voice wavers, excitement seeping into her tone. "I'm a huge fan. I've seen you on Tv before." it was a complete lie, but definitely not the truth. It was better than coming out and saying she was completely obsessed with Sakura, and definitely better than saying where she was really from.
Sakura smiled, inclining her head towards Brianna, "Thank you. My fans are very important to me."
Brianna wonders if Sakura really means that, or if its just being said out of politeness, but before she can respond, Sakura is speaking to her again.
"I noticed you haven't gone to greet anyone else yet… I can introduce you to everyone if you'd like"
Brianna nearly swooned, "I really just zoned out," she put her hands up, she didn't want to trouble sakura after all, She wanted the other girl to like her! "I wasn't being, um, antisocial or anything, i swear."
"I didn't think you were." Sakura crossed her arms over her chest, "but introductions are easier with a friend."
Briannas breath catches in her throat, and she finds herself nodding, allowing Sakura to lead her over to the group of ultimates.
