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

[ immediately producing his highlighter and pen for her!! ]
What have you got for me, Michelangelo?
no subject
[ she proudly takes the offered highlighter and pen and scrutinizes Leo's face. ]
I'm thinking...dog with stickers on his face!!
no subject
Alright. Dog with stickers. I can trust the process. Go for it, maestro!
no subject
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!
no subject
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 ]
no subject
The only thing that could make it better would be glitter, but I haven't found any hereyet.
no subject
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.
no subject
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.
no subject
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!

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

And the second I get some yarn, I'm gonna knit an INSTANT PARTY SWEATER!
