WEEK 0: MINGLE

[dormheads]

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:

PHYS 760: Theoretical Physics
ENG 400: Does Shakespeare Is Gay?
FILM 198: Analysis of the Greats: Cats
ART 100: Coloring Inside the Lines

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!

I. BESBAW

[ Come on by to the Athletics Field and you'll find Caiman taking swings with one of the baseball bats on the appropriate baseball field. He seems to be having fun. ]

Aw, holding a baseball bat again kinda makes me miss those old geezers! [ And he sees you. ] Hey, what are the chances we get a game goin' on this campus?!

II. PAINT WARS

[ It's ART CLASS TIME. Caiman's showing up for one of his classes -- weirdly eagerly at that, though he personally thinks the art teacher has something to be desired when she 'rudely' rebukes him whenever he asks a stupid non-art related question. But now it's time to do what she calls 'freeform' linearting and then colouring within the lines, and Caiman holds these brushes in his hand that basically look like toothpicks to him.

He manages though, and he's drawing nothing but pictures of gyoza. ]

Hey, art's pretty fun!

III. ONE SIZE DOESN'T FIT ALL

[ Some time later that day after Art Class (tm) concludes, you can find Caiman hobbling around school. Taking shaky baby steps.

With a desk stuck to his body.

His body is too big for them and he couldn't get out.

Help. ]

IV. OTHER

[ Hit me up for funsies or for pcs or anything!!! Let's go to class together dudes. ]

[wtfox]

Uhhh... you okay there?

[headsplitter]

[ Lila you're his only friend. ]

No! I'm stuck!

[wtfox]

Okay, let's try to get you out of there...

[she tries to get a grip on the desk's legs.]

I'll pull while you try to go the other way?

[headsplitter]

[ LILA YOUR SMALL 14-YEAR OLD BODY... ]

...Right! Let's give it a go!

[ Please don't get yanked. ]

On three!

[wtfox]

[lol. she's going to get yanked.]

One, two... three!

iii!

[txt]

[Ah.

Just watching this happen

and making no moves to help.]

... Oh, no.

[headsplitter]

[ GASPS. ]

You...!! You're my dormmate! Be a buddy and help me...!!

[txt]

[Looks at her noodle arms.

Looks at the chair attached to his butt.

Hm.]

A-Ah, right...! How do I do that?

[headsplitter]

Uhh.

Pull?

[ MAYBE IT'LL WORK? ]

[txt]

... Alrighty, I'll give it a try.

[(x) DOUBT??

But guess she's going to grab onto the desk legs? Or something?

This is absolutely not going to work.]

ii!

[modissty]

[THIS LOVE OF GYOZA IS HONESTLY PHENOMENAL. He's just... he's just gonna watch for a few seconds. It's fascinating?!

But then, eventually:] Did you ever manage to find your gyoza?

[headsplitter]

[ Oh Aki it gets way worse than this. But he is like a happy child no wonder he got put in kindergarten. ]

Yeah! I got some people who followed the instructions I got and made 'em for me, not as good as my buddy's but not so bad!

[modissty]

[closes my eyes im scared

He really is, though?! Honestly this is the most endearing... giant lizard man that he's ever met in his life.]

Ah! How kind of them, and how good that they turned out well. I suppose persistence does pay off.

[headsplitter]

[ What you see is what you get. He continues to happily draw loop-de-loops that ultimately end up taking the shape of gyoza. The art teacher is so, so tired of Caiman just submitting gyoza but she's torn between commending him for his true genuity in self-expression but also scolding him for his lack of creativity. ]

Yep! And now I'm not gonna starve! [ There's other food. ]

[modissty]

[How could anyone do anything but encourage Caiman to live his gyoza dreams?? Every single gyoza should get full points, 10/10, absolute gold stars across the board.

Anyway he's like, legitimately curious. He doesn't know shit about giant lizards okay!! So any question is fair game!!]

Is gyoza the only thing you eat?

[ercnerd]

[Wow, take a look at this guy . . . ]

How should I know? Are you asking, because you want to play?

[headsplitter]

Yeah, baseball's fun. You get to hit stuff.

[ Bruisers win at baseball. ]

[ercnerd]

[Truer words have never been spoken.]

It's not a bad sport. But if you want a game, you're going to have to round up a lot more players.

[headsplitter]

I'm on it! I'm gettin' players together to play a game against Spring dorm right now! [ Happy happy. ] You play?

[ercnerd]

[Spring . . . ]

Sure, I play now and then.

[don't have to late-week thread but just know that denji sees and points and laughs—no help for lizard man he looks very funny]

[headsplitter]

[ Denji is a bastard boy and we will have a wild goose chase of agile monkey Denji and clunky crocodile Caiman walking gayly stumbling after in his desk trap angrily. ]

[sawboned]

[while this plays, of course]

[headsplitter]

[ Hope it ends with Caiman tackling Denji down a hill and the impact breaking the desk and setting him free. That's how Denji saved the day.............. ]
