seasonality | WEEK 0: MINGLE

week zero: mingle

remaining students: forty-two.

Hey, wake up! Before you're late for school!

The first thing you'll receive when you wake up is a notification: Updated Dorm Wars Standings.

🦋 SPRING: 0
☀️ SUMMER: 0
🍁 FALL: 0
❄️ WINTER: 0

Fall has truly swept over the campus, and the colorful leaves will crunch underneath your feet as you walk through the school. In fact, your adventures might bring you to some new locations where construction has concluded. Take a look around!

On every building bulletin board, as well as on your phone, there's a new posting for this week's Dorm Wars tasks. Check out which answer resonates with you the most, and then get those points for your team! Speaking of your team, it seems like Office Hours are open for all Dorm Heads if you'd like to chat with them. Maybe see if there's anything you'd like to redeem a voucher for?

Once again, a now familiar ringtone plays from every student's phone. The screen will automatically open to the Student Directory. Everyone's ID Cards with their wonderfully flattering and fitting pictures are now out there for the world to see. How do you feel about yours?

A few classes in particular have been highlighted with open enrollment and can be joined for the week:

Finally, there also appears to be a hay ride attraction for everyone to enjoy. Yes, you can ride the tractor. No, you can't cause property damage. In fact, it seems like as you enjoy your hay ride or tractor joy ride, you may hear the occasional growl of a bear.... And just in case you need a nice cozy place to have all these deep, important conversations, a bonfire is located at the central campus lawn with blankets and wooden logs available for everyone to sit on - plus supplies for s'mores! Yay!

[like, right off the bat once she sees her picture - ]

Oh, come on, that is the least flattering photo they could have taken of me!

[ :( ]

I think you could say that for pretty much everybody's, Lila.

[ :unamused: ]

Maybe we can ask them for retakes? But like, I don't even remember having a picture taken for this... ooh, that's creepy.

[a beat.]

Well, this whole situation is kind of creepy, so I guess that's not so strange.

Probably not, to be honest. It'd be easy to update it, especially given the fact it looks like a fairly simple coding, but - like, the staff doesn't seem to have much consideration for us?

[ just saying ]

It almost feels like we're being bullied.

[ :( ]

We can't get a do-over, can we...?

Probably not... I mean, when were they even taken the first time?

Good question. They look like candid photographs, don't they?

Yeah, or paparazzi shots...

I don't think making any of this flattering was a major concern of theirs.

Probably not, but this just feels like they're making fun of us on top of everything else...

Some people more than others.

[rip to kindergarten lizard, specifically.]

[scrolling...]

Yeah, it looks like some of us got off easy...

When the hell did they even take these?

[ hello? ]

I don't know... were they, like, following us around or something? Because that's totally unnecessary, there's plenty of pictures of me on the internet already!

... Me too, actually.

[ he seems to be thinking of something annoying ]

...well! Let's just not look at these things unless we have to.

I still think you look cute!

Aww, thanks, that's so sweet of you! So do you!

Well, that's only natural, right? 'Cause we match! In hair and cuteness!

Hehe, we sure do!

Huh. I had not thought of the cons of photographs ere now, but I see 'tis not always beneficial to rely on cameras for such things.

Yeah, that's definitely one of the downsides... if it catches you at a bad moment, you don't look great. But we're all definitely way prettier than these pictures would make people think!

Indeed, I would agree that you are a sight to behold much more than this picture were able to capture. I do think anyone would agree, so I would not worry overmuch about it.

Aww, thank you! You're not bad to look at, yourself!
