INTRO MINGLE

[dormheads]

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

i. bloody mary bloody mary bloo-

[a small yip yip might catch your attention somewhere on campus!

a small sentient mop (read: a dog) will start to wander over to you.

this is the much quieter and better prompt, please pet bloody mary]

ii. rudeness! @ the sundae orientation

[hiyori is here! i bet you wish he wasn't. but he's actually going to be enjoying an ice cream - and look at people playing games, studying them like he's trying to get a grasp of what's going on.

and then he'll turn to you and so casually and obtusely]

So this is what you common folk do for fun?

[(hiyori voice) how much could ice cream cost? twenty dollars?]

iii. wildcard

[you want bad tags? i'll give you bad tags!! just give me anything, and you can have a pc if you set up the catch-all!]

ii

[shaft]

[ Hiyori is so rude? Claude immediately turns his nose up. ]

Commoner? How dare you. Do you even understand the grace to which you are currently beholden?

[sunstruck]

Not at all!

[HE ANSWERED SO FAST but despite his RUDENESS, he seems to lack in actual malice? he grins]

But isn't that a matter of your own aura rather than a fault on my behalf? Do you seek to blend in and be approachable? You succeeded!

ii

[floristic]

Eh? Did you say something?

[sunstruck]

I asked if this is what you do for fun?

[he knows what he asked]

i

[illuminance]

[ she will pet the puppy!!! oh this is so exciting, she never gets to see cute little animals!! ]

[sunstruck]

[the puppy loves to be pet!! lux's hand gets little licks of excitement. wow pets

unfortunately there's a distant - ]

Bloody Mary? Bloody Mary!

[the dog perks up a little!




the dog's name is Bloody Mary yea]

i

[overlimit]

[seeing the dog approach, rita takes a few steps back.]

Hey, don't come any closer, you... dog!

[sunstruck]

[rita what's your issue with dogs

but the tiny sentient mop does not comprehend because she's treated like an actual human child more than a dog really, so she doesn't know she's a dog

she approaches closer]

i

[refate]

[ because maybe snow can keep ( jun voice ) goddamn from coming out if he tags bloody mary first.

kon doesn't seem particularly bothered by the fact this yorkie is meandering up to him, and he moves to crouch down so that he's more on level with the dog. hand? ]

I'm pretty sure you're even more out of place compared to the rest of us.

[sunstruck]

[bloody mary is actually pretty used to weird school settings actually

so she's cool with this

she will nudge against kon's hand and her tail does a waggie waggie



an annoying hanae natsuki voice can be heard approaching from afar. what is it saying. who knows.]

i I MUST puppy

[feytality]

[ maya's eyes light up and she holds out a hand for bloody mary to sniff.... if she is approved the petting will commence immediately ]

You're soooo cute! Are you the principal's dog, too?

[sunstruck]

[petting is ALLOWED and welcomed and bloody mary loves the new company so much that she does a little wiggle and a circle to let maya pet her all over

she doesn't respond

in the distance there's just someone calling - ]

Bloody?!

[i did this for maya specifically]

ii.

[divineimpulse]

[?????????]

I'm not sure. Is it?

[sunstruck]

Well that's not very fun - even if you don't know the answer, you can pretend you do! That's the beats of a conversation, no?

i

[ghoststrums]

[ ... dog...!

he crouches to pet the dog because this is the better prompt indeed ]

Did you get lost?

[sunstruck]

[it's really the better prompt because you know who shares the same voice actor as taichi

hiyori

anyway for now that won't come up because bloody mary is cute and will just roll over on her back for tummy pets

she won't answer if she's lost, she thinks she belongs where the pets are]

ii

[lifeless]

[Manwol looks at him over the top of her sundae,]

Does it really look like they're having fun?

[we do not Perceive anyone who's actually having fun with the icebreakers]

[sunstruck]

They could be! Or they could be feigning it, accepting a moment of reprieve instead of considering how we've all been kidnapped and our consolation prize is ice cream?

[he thinks it's funny!!]

Do you want to try?

i!

[txt]

[... she is absolutely going to crouch down to try and pet the dog. what is she, a monster? ]

[sunstruck]

[god i hope not!

but bloody mary doesn't notice if she is a monster because bloody mary wants pETS. she will absolutely just accept these pets and then start to run around ichinose's legs in little figure eights because she's excited

please don't fall]

ii

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart is also here and enjoying a generous serving of chocolate ice cream.]

Ice cream isn't just for common folk. The gentry enjoy them as well.

[sunstruck]

[farewell captcha]

i

[modissty]

[the way im like wow i cant believe we're gonna have both of our mod pcs die w0 because they are both out here doing the absolute most

ANYWAY, DOG!! Sakyou glances around when he hears the noise, spotting b...bloody mary pretty quickly despite this dog being like 2 inches tall.]

Oh? My, who let you out of their sight?

[POOR SWEET DOGGO... He will reach down to pat it gently on the little dog noggin.]

[sunstruck]
