INTRO MINGLE


week zero: mingle

remaining students: forty-two.


A buzzing alarm wakes you bright and early. You blink your eyes blearily, greeted by the sun's rays peeking through the blinds of a window. It's 7 AM, and it feels like you definitely went to bed way too late last night. Oh well, up and at 'em! Time to start your day! Except...

...this place looks unfamiliar. You're in a room with other people who are also waking up. Outside of the window is a large, sprawling school campus touched by the start of warm autumn colors. In the bathroom is--wow, another door through which are two more confused people in a similar room. Suite mates! In addition, if you go exploring within your dorm, you may find special access to a certain room. Though as you wander about, make sure you take a glance at the rules that are posted at each building.

Welcome to Wiwaldi Academy!

Outside on campus, the air is crisp. In the morning, your feet will crunch over a light frost and fallen leaves. The rest of the day is mild, but sweater and jackets may be needed in the evening and during the night. The sky is bright blue and empty except for an occasional stray cirrus cloud or two. It seems like fall is on the horizon.

🦋 ☀️ 🍁 ❄️


In each room, students will find their own laptops with a welcome screen:

Thank you for joining us at the beautiful campus of Wiwaldi Academy! All classes officially begin on Monday. Students are encouraged to enjoy leisure time on campus this weekend. Please be mindful as new additions to the campus are in construction, and these are off-limits to students until completion.

The icon in the top right corner corresponds to your dorm: Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter. Even though you are all sorted by a particular dorm, please don't hesitate to meet and mingle with one another! You all will have plenty of opportunity to do so on Saturday during the Sundae Orientation. An ice cream bar will be on the campus lawn between the dormitory buildings from 12PM onward, and everyone is invited to come meet and mingle while playing introductory games.

Don't forget to think about your EXTRA CREDIT! It's a chance for you to get ahead on your work. You wouldn't want anyone else stealing your extra credit for themselves, so keep all extra credit assignments under lock and key.

From all of us here at Wiwaldi Academy, we wish you great success on your future endeavors!

Signed,
Principal Bear

On their smartphone, they'll find an email with the subject Extra Credit Assignment. The contents of the email provide the details of said assignment.

Welcome to the Intro Mingle and the start of our game, everyone! Feel free to use the Saturday orientation as prompts for your top-levels. If you have any questions, you may use the Discord #questions-for-mods channel, or DM your mods (Dana, Francy, Anna, and Jan) directly. If you don't have all of us added, just let one of us know, and we'll create the mod DM for you.

A friendly reminder is that IC Profiles are not ICly unlocked yet. Please also stay tuned for Something Else on Sunday at 12 PM / 3 PM EST.

[ it's fine lux is too worried about looking suspicious, herself. ]

They can be dangerous, at times. But not always.
feytality: (oh he diiiiiidn't girlfrien)

[ maya considers this ]

You know, that's the last thing I'd expect a knight to say.
feytality: I'm quitting while I'm ahead (That's enough Phoenix Drive references)

[ maya... relaxes? ]

Well, that's not a bad thing. I'm Maya, by the way. I like your armor, it's pretty cool.

[ oh thank fuck a subject change. ]

Thank you. I can't wear heavy armor with how much time I spend traveling. [ and she tries to lighten the mood with a little laugh? ] In fact, it's too heavy for me to wear, at all.
feytality: feed me and you might live (might be plotting your murder)

[personal profile] feytality 2021-06-05 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah witchtalk is over now ]

[ maya laughs too! ]

It gets bad. Traveling with whole squadrons of men in heavy armor is taxing, in many ways.

And they have no hygiene to speak of! [ MEN! ]
feytality: Where did this stupid joke even come from idr (JUST KIDDING I LOVE PUPPIES)

[ bonding through misandry... ]

Yeah, they're pretty helpless. Are there are a lot of girl knights where you're from? 'Cause I've only seen the blockhead tincan guys.

There are some. Anyone can fight for the kingdom and for what's right, after all.
