INTRO MINGLE
week zero: mingleremaining 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.

Ah, what dorm are you in, by the way? I'm in Summer.
no subject
I'm in Fall.
no subject
Is it a nice dorm? I haven't checked it out yet.
no subject
... It's nice. Very cozy. [ brightly: ] I'd like it quite a bit if I hadn't been kidnapped.
no subject
[But the thought is...nice.]
Yeah, yeah, I getcha. Really, this is the type of place that just screams "well, everything is nice, but you'll get an anvil dropped on your head any moment now".
no subject
[ and she does laugh, at that. ]
Exactly. We'd best keep our guard up, no matter how nice our accommodations.
no subject
[And an awkward sort of pause.]
Do you have anything to keep you safe?
no subject
But whoever brought us here didn't deign to let me keep any weaponry.
no subject
[Yes, a wooden sword.]
What IS this place? Why did it leave some things and not others...?
no subject
I would count yourself lucky for having any weapon at all, though. Like I mentioned - some of us arrived only with a house pet.
no subject
[That is definitely not going to do much protecting.]
Seems kinda haphazard, huh. Either way...we just have to look out for each other, I guess.
no subject
Armed or not, I'm going to look after everyone as best as I can.
no subject
I feel that. There just seems to be so many people, though...
no subject
no subject
[CRIES HE DOESN'T LIKE WORKING IN GROUPS HE'S NERVOUS]
no subject
Don't worry about it too much. This isn't a responsibility I mean to put on you.
Just do what you can, and don't be afraid to ask for help.
no subject
[don't perceive him and his self-conscious self pls thank u]
I'll...learn what I can.
no subject

no subject
Not to worry! My light will never go out.
no subject
Y-yeah! Yeah. Exactly.
