seasonality | WEEK 2: MINGLE

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:

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.

[He is watching too, and. Hm. the3. ch#ef.]

Have Mandricardo offer it as an apology for how spineless he is sometimes, and then Kon throws it away.

We may have a faulty keyboard... well, as they say, the show must go on. Or the story, at any rate.

All right!! [ she squares her shoulders. ]

Mandricardo, painfully insecure and a fan of video games, offers his favorite controller to Kon-san, who... er, gently removes it because that's unsanitary in a restaurant. Perhaps he's apologizing because he spilled something or forgot his wallet? I--

[ She stops because there's now a pop-up of adorable sheep. ]

[THEIR KEYBOARD. He frowns gently at Lalli, though.]

There's no need to pick on him. [POOR SWEET MANDRICARDO. He'll turn back to look at the screen and Otome's work though, intending to add a little more, but--]

—Oh! What's this? Where did they come from?

[Sheep friends > writing this story honestly HE'S INSTANTLY ENDEARED... Whenever Otome tries to click out of it, another picture immediately takes its place.]

[Lalli is instantly distracted from his bullying by the sheep. CUTE SHEEP!

But then there's that other picture, and-]

What's wrong with those sheep?!

[ She can't even be annoyed because it's hard to annoy Otome but also they're hella cute?? ]

Oh, are these alpaca? Don't they look adorable? I'd love to pet one!

[ guys. guys the story. ]

[Meanwhile Sakyou also here with Lalli like what happened to these sheep.]

Alpaca? I've never heard of such a thing... They do look very soft, though. Do they normally have that much... wool?

[Wool? Is it wool? Is it fur?? The world may never know.]

...May we put one into the story?

[An alpaca...]

It's neck is as long as its body! How does it even keep its head up?

[He likes Sakyou's idea though. Add an alpaca to this story.]

Have Mandricardo's horse be an alpaca.

Absolutely not, it deserves better than to be ridden.

[ Huff. ]

It can be his stalwart companion and if we must name all the characters after people here, its name will be Taichi.

[ Fight her. ]

[

Gently laughing behind his sleeve.]

Very well, but we should have two alpaca in that case. A Yamato as well.

[Do not separate.]

Maybe Mandricardo is a merchant, then. And the two alpacas carry his wares.

And his wares are video game controllers.

I think we have a solid start!

[ "alp5ac%s".

Fuck. ]

[THEIR SWEET ALP5AC%S.]

...At least it's still legible... [But will it be next time. ANYWAY--] Perhaps Shinonome-san could quit his job as a chef to come travel with them while they peddle their wares?

[I forgot about this thread because of winter formal]

A traveling chef. They can go together and make a living.

Maybe his current boss is an asshole and he wants to quit work anyway.

Sounds good to me. Mandricardo ends up in his life at the perfect time.

Should we give his current boss a name?

[Who's gonna be the asshole boss out of these punks...]

[Who yells the most...]

...Principal Bear.

[Lalli, noted bear-anti.]

[ Honey. ]

... We're going to make his boss a bear?

[Lalli, your bear disdain...]

It must be someone in the room though, yes? I don't think Shinonome-san would choose to work for a bear, anyway. That seems a bit unsanitary for the kitchen...

Oh right, someone in the room.

[The technicalities...]

How about Caleb? He doesn't seem like he would be a fun boss.

Caleb just takes things very seriously. I wouldn't quite label him a troublesome boss.

[ Granted, she doesn't want to diss anyone. Hm. ]

Should it be me?

I think he could be a good boss, actually...

[He has to keep the breadhands solidarity.]

--That's not believable at all, though. Tsuyukusa would be a poor boss. To be honest, Sieghart-dono probably would be, too.

You're too nice to be a mean boss, Otome. Let's make Sieghart the boss.

[ RIP Sieghart. ]

Well... I suppose if we don't have a choice, we can just borrow his name...

[ $1egh$ar@t ]

...That's the worst one yet, isn't it?

[He absolutely has to hide a snicker behind his sleeve. God bless Sieghart.]

Goodness. Well, that's a good enough premise, I think? Though perhaps they need a goal as they're out traveling and selling game controls.

Are we even going to be able to read this story? It keeps getting worse.

[But they must continue on, for the story!]

Mandricardo stops at Sieghart's restaurant for lunch, and chef Kon makes him food. He apologizes for...something, and then offers up a game controller. What if Sieghart throws the controller away and Kon gets so mad that he runs off with Mandricardo?
