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!

[ brandishes the phone to display the PhD? section ]

I only just got accepted into my second year of high school!

High school? Phudd? [ Yeah he said it like that. ] What's that mean?

[ What's a COLLEGE? ]

[ this is why you're in kindergarten, caiman ]

High School is your 8th to 10th year of schooling. A P-h-d is when you finish all required 12 years and you decided you wanted to do another ten or so.

It's how you become a Doctor!

Ew! Spending over a decade in school?! Beats me why anyone would wanna do that.

Spite, mostly.

[ and maybe a good case of masochism ]

Who would you be spiting except yourself by going to school for that long?

Haven't you ever dealt with someone going 'you absolutely cannot do that thing, good luck even trying?' Now think of that, but on a waaaay bigger scale and proving to whoever that by going HAHA, I DID IT by pushing yourself to the absolute limit of learning.

You've gotta be really, really strong to make it all the way through without dying midway.

Huh... I guess so?

[ Hmm? He rubs his chin with a big ol' hand. ]

Something about that sounds almost... familiar.

[ she blinks at him ]

I guess it also works for a whole bunch of other situations too.

Nah, somethin' about this whole school business... I can't shake it off.

[ But he just grumbles. ]

...But I'm maybe-25 or somethin', putting me in kindergarten is rude!
