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.

I'm looking. You're covered in ink.

[ but he sounds less judgmental and more vaguely amused by now ]
foreversweaterweather: (let's turn that frown upside down!)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-05 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah, that's the point! That's what makes it fun!
ghoststrums: (too much spinning)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-05 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't it a pain to wash out?
foreversweaterweather: (BIG CHEER)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-05 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. Most of it comes out after you wash. But whenever it doesn't, that's the most fun!! You get to keep all the fun colors for even longer!

If you say so. [ kids... ] You're trying to get a collection, right?

[ he's keeping his pen but she can have his blue highlighter sure ]
foreversweaterweather: (vicious pie-in-face revenge)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-05 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah!! The more colors the better, that's what I always say! The rainbow's a chump for stopping at just 7 colors!!
ghoststrums: (but can't make it through)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-05 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
What, do you want it to be the entire color wheel?
foreversweaterweather: (gonna tickle the shit out of everyone)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-06 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Of course!! Even beyond that! Ooooh, do you think there could be a color sphere? A color dimension! A dimension of nothing but color!!!
ghoststrums: (so everything is crazy)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-06 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oi, slow down a little... [ KIDS? ] Are you talking about how some animals can see colors we can't?
ghoststrums: (oh oh oh oh oh here we gooooo)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-06 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[

oh, great, he's deaf now ]


You don't have to be so loud about it!
