WEEK 2: MINGLE

[dormheads]

week 2: mingle

remaining students: 38

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: 70
☀️ SUMMER: 29
🍁 FALL: 40
❄️ WINTER: 47

Welcome to Winter Term! Everything is distinctly colder, even some of the animals around campus retreating to warmer pastures. It's not snowing... yet, but you get the feeling it's imminent. All the banners that had their motto shifted over the weekend seem to have reverted back as well. In fact, your adventures might bring you to some new locations where construction has concluded. Take a look around! Don't forget to peer over at Dean's List. Not to mention this is a school campus, which means things are changing all the time - keep an eye out.

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?

Though if you're looking through your phone, it appears that the profiles for Lan Wangji and Lila Rossi have both disappeared. Expulsion is a hell of a drug.

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

DENT 634: Bite, Chomps, and Nips - What's the Difference?
ANIM 345: Mythical Animals: Unicorns, Manticorns, & Bears Oh My!
ENG 123: The Art of the Passive-Aggressive Sticky Note
PSY 400: Love Yourself Please

Just because it's getting colder doesn't mean that things can't get all warm and fuzzy, though! There are a few advertisements around campus for the week's Winter Formal - maybe there's someone you'd like to ask? Or you don't need to make it a big deal, it can be whatever. Just like the idle touches that you feel the need to leave on other people's persons. This week, you'll feel compelled to be a little more tactile and prone to touch than other weeks - soft touches probably, but you can also get rough if you want, I guess, I'm not the boss of you.

tasks!

[wherever you and whatever you're doing, Manwol comes up to you to take you by the arm,]

Let's go.

[WHERE]

class.... bites

[Manwol listens as the professor is talking, stone-faced at all the pg-13 content that's probably being discussed right now.]

What if your lover is a cannibal? This school supports monsterfucking, doesn't it?

[this is a trick question and manwol refuses to fall for it]

evening

[somewhere out on campus, there stands Manwol. She's holding a white calla lily in both of her hands and staring at something far off in the distance. i was tempted to just leave the prompt like this.

it's just dark out, also it's getting cold and Manwol's in her uniform without the jacket, and she hasn't moved in like over an hour, it's fine.]

tasks!

[txt]

[A flinch, probably in surprise, and then. Eloquently.]

—Huh?

[GUESS

THEY'RE GOING SOMEWHERE NOW??]

hehe

[lifeless]

[YEAH

YEAH THEY ARE! Manwol will slip her hand into the crook of Ichinose's arm unless she shoves her off like Manwol deserves,]

We're traveling, even though there's no where fun to go here.

[it's time]

[txt]

I see, I see...

[She will not! But her arm does feel a little stiff.]

Oh, well, a short trip is still a trip! What's our destination, captain?

[lifeless]

[her arm.... Manwol notices, but she's not about to bring that up right away...]

Hm. There are animals here now, right? Let's go see them.

[txt]

[It's fine. Welp, off they go!]

Right, right...! Have you ever gone to a farm before?

[lifeless]

[IS IT???]

Sure. There used to be one next to the hotel before they made it into a mall. How about you?

tasks!

[ercnerd]

[He reciprocates by raising his hand to his stomach, completing the gesture.]

Oh? Where shall we go?

[lifeless]

[that's an oppa move.............. Manwol appreciates it, settling her hands on the crook of his arm.]

Hm. Good question. [where can they go.........] What about your dorm? I haven't seen any of the others besides mine.

[that's because spring and fall are enemies]

[ercnerd]

Sure.

[He begins limping in the direction of the dorms. This is the best he can do.]

You can't miss it. There's a flag up on the roof now.

[lifeless]

[it's fine manwol has busted ribs and probably has to walk gingerly herself... they can be the 'we should be resting, but we're not' pair.]

...A flag? Did you guys put it up there?

[or did futaba and lalli do somethin............]

[ercnerd]

It definitely wasn't me.

[He doesn't care to know whose underwear that is, either.]

You'll see once we're there.

[lifeless]

[Manwol will follow... and as soon as that flag comes into view...

She raises a hand over her eyes as if to squint up at it.]




...That's underwear, right?

evening

[headsplitter]

[ Manwol... ]

The hell you doin' out here so late? It's winter now.

[lifeless]

[look....... it's fine....

She turns a little so she can face him, then she points with her chin up at the sky.]

Moon-gazing. I was checking to see if it's a full moon or not.

[headsplitter]

Huh. That a thing you normally do? I dunno when's the last time I looked at the moon.

[ Hmm... he puffs, frosty air on his breath. Chilly. ]

Isn't it cold?

[lifeless]

It's fine. I can't feel the cold.

[she glances at Caiman, before looking back up.]

You should go inside. If you get sick, then Luke will have to take care of you.

[just immediately assigning this duty to luke]

[headsplitter]

[ Manwol increasingly confirmed for wine aunt that pushes duties off to other adults in the family. ]

You for real? You're so skinny and, well, a person, even for being a ghost though. [ And because it's touch week, he's just going to automatically reach out with an ungloved hand for idk, her hand, just to see if it's cold. ]

I ain't gonna get sick, I'm invincible. [ BOLD CLAIM ]

[lifeless]

[how dare u summarize her so accurately

Manwol doesn't mind the TOUCH for some reason, so Caiman can absolutely take her hand. it's very cold. Hard to tell if that's natural or from standing outside for HOURS, she pats his hand back]

Hm... Isn't there a saying like that? [something something idiots are invincible to colds] Something about people who can't catch colds?

evening

[amain]

Jang Manwol.

[ Nier likes hanging around at night which should be suspicious, but. Hey. ]

You're not cold?

[lifeless]

Nier. [hello] My body can't feel the cold. What about you?

[since he's hanging around at night, being suspicious]

[amain]

... Is that so.

[ He's not going to question ghost woman. ]

I like looking at the sky of night. You can't really stargaze where I'm from.

[lifeless]

[Manwol glances up at the sky at the mention,]

Is that because you don't have them? Or because they're hidden?

[does Nier have Pollution]

[amain]

It's not dark enough at night to see them. There's usually still light on the horizon.

[ Just something fucked up with the moon in NieR universe that caused the world to get weird on its axis, is all. ]

[lifeless]

[is the world of nier okay]

Huh. The city lights are pretty bright back home too, so I don't get to see the stars that often either. I usually just look at the moon.
