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.

Oh, heck yes.

[ immediately producing his highlighter and pen for her!! ]

What have you got for me, Michelangelo?
foreversweaterweather: (HUZZAH)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-05 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you mean Mabelangelo.

[ she proudly takes the offered highlighter and pen and scrutinizes Leo's face. ]

I'm thinking...dog with stickers on his face!!
commandertoolbelt: (let's be reasonable here)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-06-05 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Mabelangelo. Of course, my bad.

Alright. Dog with stickers. I can trust the process. Go for it, maestro!
foreversweaterweather: (i know what i'm about)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-06 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ And off she goes! She attacks Leo's face with a flurry of highlighters and pens and an intense look of concentration as she scribbles away at him.

She tries her best to draw a dog face superimposed over his human face, covered in adorable stickers, but it. it really just kind of ends up looking like a rat's head covered in nasty scratches and filth. ]


And...done!
commandertoolbelt: (smile)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-06-06 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ well its not like he can see it so

he just holds his arms out wide, spins in a circle, all that good dramatic shit ]


Mabelangelo's latest masterpiece! It's a thing of beauty, if I do say so myself.

[ but again: he can't see it ]
foreversweaterweather: (i know what i'm about)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-06 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course it is!

The only thing that could make it better would be glitter, but I haven't found any hereyet.
commandertoolbelt: (crazy no this is totally normal)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-06-07 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Yet" being the key word there. All schools have glitter somewhere; it's like a law.

You've got to show me what you come up with when you find it, though! Maybe put together a whole art gallery? Bet it would give the Sistine Chapel a run for its money.
foreversweaterweather: (how could you say no to this face?)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-08 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh. oh no.

cute teenage boy who likes glitter and art and mabel's art, specifically?

crush: ENGAGE

she bursts out in giggling laughter and shoves at him playfully. it's harder than it has to be. ]


You're right! You're so right!

I'll be sure to invite you to the gallery first.
commandertoolbelt: (the one thing Aphrodite did right)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-06-08 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ MABEL GET BETTER TASTE CHALLENGE

luckily valdez is 1000000000% oblivious and won't notice because he's used to being pushed around by girls that are stronger than him? why does everyone bully him, why is this his life ]


First, huh? [ he's laughing. he has no idea. i hate this. ] That's as big an honor as I've ever gotten! Hey, if you need some help with a light show or something, let me help out, okay? Gotta earn my keep!
foreversweaterweather: (ohhh THAT'S what owo is!)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-08 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
A light show? [ gasp! ] You mean like disco lights, or a rave?
commandertoolbelt: (this is your admiral speaking)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-06-08 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Either one! Maybe both. If I can make a whole instant party button, just the lights should be a cinch.
foreversweaterweather: (whispers i will follow you forever)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-09 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
YOU CAN MAKE AN INSTANT PARTY BUTTON?!

[ she runs up and tugs on his shirt, pulling his face right up against her own, and whispers: ]

I need one.
commandertoolbelt: (you'll have to try harder than that)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-06-10 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh i guess we're doing this huh ]

The second I get some tools, I'm on it.
foreversweaterweather: (BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-10 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah!!

And the second I get some yarn, I'm gonna knit an INSTANT PARTY SWEATER!
commandertoolbelt: (aww come on)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-06-10 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, that I have to see.
foreversweaterweather: (imagination and wonder!!)

[personal profile] foreversweaterweather 2021-06-11 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
You will! As long as you make the dream happen!
commandertoolbelt: (working)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-06-12 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Like I said - get me the right tools, and it's definitely happening.
