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!

[he raises an eyebrow.]

Predicting tea taste can count as a hobby?

[so yes green is fine thank you.]

[divineimpulse]

[she exhales, gently amused, and starts preparing some green tea for both of them.]

Maybe I'll have to get a real hobby.

[goalsides]

Only if you want to. Hobbies are just things you like, aren't they? [he says, like he didn't just inadvertently insult her.] But maybe you'll find other things you like while we're here.

[divineimpulse]

I do like fishing.

[she finishing steeping the tea, and carefully hands taichi his mug.]

Careful.

[goalsides]

[there's a nod of thanks as he takes the mug, immediately adjusting it in his hands so he doesn't burn himself.]

Have you met Nier? Maybe you can give him a few pointers. [hah.]

[divineimpulse]

I have—he's a part of my dormitory.

[she sips hers immediately, taking in plenty of air. green is best piping hot!]

We're making rods together.

[goalsides]

[that's new.]

You guys found materials to build stuff?

[divineimpulse]

We made do.

[they cut up some trees and braided some twine.]

[goalsides]

Guess that's good enough. [he will drink his tea...] Is this place getting a little less weird for you?

[divineimpulse]

A little.

[she sips the tea again.]

Are you settling in?

[goalsides]

A little. [there's a short grin that seems to say that he's still figuring things out.] Still one of the weirdest schools I've ever been to though.

[divineimpulse]

Have you been to many?

[goalsides]

A few. Back home, it's common that you go to a new school when you graduate from certain grade levels. When you finish elementary school, you go to junior high. And after that, you go to high school. This is a campus where everybody seems to be together which isn't that weird, but I've never been to one like it.

[divineimpulse]

Elementary, junior high, high school, and university combined. [ok. things are taking shape.

...]

I wonder where the other students are.

[goalsides]

I've been wondering that, too. I asked about it when the dorm heads were talking to us and they made it sound like it was a bigger school with more people, but...I haven't seen anybody else around.

Not to mention I have no idea where the cafeteria staff goes when they're not working there. It's like people just disappear when time's up.

[divineimpulse]

[she nods.]

It feels as if the school is staffed by ghosts.

[goalsides]

[...]

Have you ever been to a ghost school? Or met a ghost at all?

[divineimpulse]

No.

Have you?

[goalsides]

...it's a little different than what you might be thinking of. But no, no ghost school.

[divineimpulse]

[wait]

You've met a ghost?

[goalsides]

Kind of. More like the spirit of an old friend. [a beat.] And ghost-shaped monsters, I guess.

[divineimpulse]

[...]

I suppose supernatural myth is always somewhat based in fact.

Do you fight monsters?

[goalsides]

[technically, he supposes, they are monsters.]

Something like that. Whenever they start messing things up we have to step in to stop them.

[divineimpulse]

That's generally how we fight monsters, as well.

What weapons do you wield?

[goalsides]

[this is putting some things into context.]

Oh. Uh...we don't use weapons or anything. Our partners fight for us.
