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.

[ ... He is not offering himself. ]

Naught tells us we cannot twist the truth by some, should it become necessary.

[txt]

Hmm... Then how about Yanagiya-san? It doesn't get more bookish than having a doctorate under your belt!

[Alphinaud, you should have offered yourself. Don't let this happen to Otome.]

We could write a whirlwind space opera romance for her.

[That sure is a string of words.]

[1/2]

[superjock]

[Adora seems into it, nodding eagerly.]

What's a space opera romance? How's it different from a regular space romance?

[superjock]

Oh wait. Who here is good enough for Otome?

[arcsplainist]

[ UH ]

W- well. 'Tis but a story—we could make anyone be the ideal partner for her!

[ Which doesn't make him any less afraid to make a suggestion, though. ]

[txt]

[Alphinaud, please.]

That's right! They don't have to be good enough for Yanagiya-san. In this world, we can backspace their faults away and make them worthy for her affections. It's the magic of fiction.

[superjock]

Huh... alright, I guess that's true.

I guess we should just pick a love interest then?

[arcsplainist]

Kuon initially suggested... Riegan, correct? [ who was that again ] Why not stick with those two?

[txt]

[can't believe otome is now government assigned claudefucker

ichinose nods enthusiastically.]

I see, I see...! Sounds like a match made in space heaven. Now, what else?

[superjock]

[... Adora just shrugs a little.]

Fine by me, I think.

Sooo... we have to include and oven and the sentence 'You shouldn't have heard that', right?

... Weird mix of things.

[arcsplainist]

Oh, not so much, I say. An oven has a fairly mundane use, does it not? Our scene can take place during a repast.

[txt]

Hmm... Say, one was planning a birthday cake for the other. And when they overheard their plans, it totally ruined the surprise! [CLAUDE VOICE:] You shouldn't have heard that, Otome-sensei... Ahaha, something like that.

[superjock]

[.......]

Sounds kinda ominous for a birthday cake, but I think that sounds like a nice story.

Maybe Claude's trying to have a sneaky birthday party before Otome has to go back into space? For her... space books?

[arcsplainist]

... What are books doing up there to begin with, I wonder... 'Tis hardly a widely accessible place.

[txt]

They're space books. People will still want to read in space, won't they?

[It's fine.

But the mods didn't specify what kind of Disney song, so suddenly — zoom zoom zoom.]

[superjock]

[oh my GOD KYUU.

Anyway Adora jumps when music starts to blare from the computer.]

Ack! What's-- did we break it? Why's it singing?

[arcsplainist]

[ why

Alphinaud, meanwhile, just looks around confused. ]

Wha— ... Where is that coming from?

[txt]

—Huh?

[Immediately turning to?? Look at the computer???]

Why is it...? I haven't touched anything.

[But, okay. Spotify opened itself? Sure. She exits the program— which works for all of two seconds before it pops back up with new song. Wow.]

[superjock]

[... .. .... Adora listens to this one for a few moments and then--]

Hang on, I wanna listen to the rest of this one.

[arcsplainist]

[ ... ]

I believe we are being distracted from the task at hand...

[txt]

[... She's humming along now.]

A-Ah, right, right. This story isn't going to write itself.

[superjock]

[...but the songgggg]

Right... right, okay. We'd better start with... Otome. And her space books.
