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

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.

[ Mabel lowers the giraffe and blinks at him.

Then, a huge gasp. ]


You don't know what balloons are?!

That's what I said? I mean, I guess it's... that thing you're holding. But I've never seen anything like that before.

[So. Yeah.]
foreversweaterweather: (you did WHAT to my yarn??)

You poor, deprived creature...

This is a balloon! [ she reaches into her sweater pocket and pulls out another condom, still in its wrapper. ]

Well, there's different shapes like round ones--but these long ones are the best for balloon animals! You just blow 'em up full of air-- [ Mabel rips open the condom wrapper and blows into the condom ] --then you tie 'em up! Tadaaa! Balloon!

[ she holds out the plain condom-balloon out to him. ]

[He takes it but he looks very skeptical.]
.... So it's what, a toy, a decoration? What's it for, exactly.

[And then his nose wrinkles slightly before he pulls it up to sniff and confirm;]
It smells weird.
foreversweaterweather: (HUZZAH)

It's for fun, silly!

Boop! [ she boops the condom giraffe on his face. ]

[Swats at it instinctively!!]

Don't-don't boop me!
foreversweaterweather: (i can and WILL poke you)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-06 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Boop! Boop boop boop!

[ she darts all around him, booping all over and from all angles ]

[Trying and failing to swat at her because she is moving all over!!]

Hey- Cut that out! Wh-What the hell is wrong with you??
branches: (EXCUSE YOU???)

[personal profile] branches 2021-06-10 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's gonna try to grab Mabel so he can hold her at arms length, but frankly I don't think he's that much taller than her anyway.]

Cut it out! I don't want to be booped!!
foreversweaterweather: (:H)

[ He holds her out at arm's length, which...seems to disarm her? She just stares back at him. ]
foreversweaterweather: (LET'S SEE HOW LOUD I CAN SCREAM)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-11 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...and then, because apparently they're close in height and therefore also arm length, she reaches out and boops him in the cheek again, even while held away. ]

Boop!
