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.
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.

[what's up, wiwaldi! lucretia grabs her things and immediately bails on the dorm. she doesn't have the time to be wherever this place is, she has things to do and problems to handle, and she's not in the mood to hang around and chill.
so. you can find a woman carrying a wooden staff walking intently somewhere, except if you keep hanging around outside, she just turns up again, walking... the same direction she was going before, actually. she pauses as soon as she notices the scenery is familiar, looking over the buildings with a deep frown before she sets off in a different direction to confirm it (and if you keep vibing instead of following, the same thing repeats. weird.)
it doesn't take much of that to figure out there's no getting anywhere, though, so you might also find her investigating the buildings; she doesn't seem like she's looking for anything specific so much as just seeing what's there.]
2- the more chill one
[once that's done and she's determined there doesn't seem to be any feasible way to get out at the moment, she can be found sitting somewhere with a notebook, just sketching something out; she's observing one of the dorms, at the moment. maybe just doing some still life work or something.
if you take a peek, though, she's actually working on the layout of the buildings as a sort of map of the place. the smartphone is next to her; she doesn't really know what else the thing does just yet, but she did manage to open the camera and unintentionally take a photo while messing with it, so she's at least familiar with that function. currently on the screen is a photo of the same building from a different angle.
anyway, if you hang out for a second nearby:]
Have you been inside any of those three buildings?
[gesturing to the summer, fall, and winter dorms.]

Wait... what the hell just happened?

It just repeats. Like an eternity whatever. Been there done that.
We're probably trapped here until someone finds and kills the thing making it. [he shrugs, like it's someone else's problem, as for him, he's finishing up a croissant and licking his finger] Might as well relax until then.
[having delivered his helpful message, he starts to stretch out on the bench as if to nap]

[ ... Yes. He climbed the other ones to get to the top out of curiosity. No, not for anything especially important. ]

That one there. Getting a lay of the land?

[He'll actually approach her when she speaks to him; he's been looking at what she's doing a bit curiously, especially when he notices it looks like she's sketching a map. That's rather clever.]
Did you need reference for the interior?

[ the winter dorm. ]
Which, I gotta say - not my usual style. Blue is definitely not my color. But it's not that bad, if you ignore all the screaming.
