week 5: mingle

remaining students: 289

Hey, wake up! Before you're late for school!

The first thing you'll receive when you wake up is a notification: Updated Dorm Wars Standings.

🦋 SPRING: 124
☀️ SUMMER: 160
🍁 FALL: 167
❄️ WINTER: 208

Spring Term continues on, the warm weather making it overall quite pleasant to be on campus. The farm benefits from a bountiful harvest, and flowers drape the campus in sweet aromas. All the banners that had their motto shifted over the weekend seem to have reverted back as well. In fact, your adventures might bring you to some new locations where construction has concluded. Take a look around! Don't forget to peer over at Dean's List. Not to mention this is a school campus, which means things are changing all the time - keep an eye out.

On every building bulletin board, as well as on your phone, there's a new posting for this week's Dorm Wars tasks. Check out which answer resonates with you the most, and then get those points for your team! Speaking of your team, it seems like Office Hours are open for all Dorm Heads if you'd like to chat with them. Maybe see if there's anything you'd like to redeem a voucher for?

Though if you're looking through your phone, it appears that the profiles for Adora, Catra, Byleth Eisner and Wang Lu have all disappeared. Expulsion (and heart attacks) is a hell of a drug.

A few classes in particular have been highlighted with open enrollment and can be joined for the week:

The warm weather also seems to be just in time for the school's cultural festival. All around the campus, there will be the occasional booth that seems to be serving a dish that you can find at home - especially street food! Though take care to watch out - it seems like something else odd is happening this week. At random, you will swap talents with another person. Maybe you're suddenly absolutely incredible at parkour, or maybe sword swallowing, or... computer engineering? Okay, go off.

Perhaps... find the reason it is, ahem, leaking?

Well if we want it to hatch shouldn't Otome sit on it?

[She's the only one who can be a mother here.]

... I, ah. Think that only works for birds.

[ oh.

he's trying so hard not to laugh. ]

Are you certain about that? It may be more than a mere bird egg.

Yeah Otome. Snakes lay eggs too.

[It's just snakes and birds and no other reptiles.]

If you won't do it I will!

[ She just holds out a hand-- ]

Maybe we should actually refrain from doing anything that's going to break it! We can find something warm to swaddle it in or cradle it, but--

[ DON'T SIT ON THE EGG. ]

... I think he's determined to sit on the egg.

I'm not going to break it! I know how to sit on eggs!

[DOES HE????]

You do?!

[ WHY?????? ]

You... do?

[ ????? ]

W-well, I mean, I feel like I know how to do it. Like, instincts!

[Tree instincts.]

I mean, maternal instincts are wonderful, but-- oh.

[ The egg is now disinterestedly rolling slightly away to lounge. ]

I did see some people trying to play with theirs, but, er... Gudetama-chan doesn't seem too thrilled.

I wonder if playing is necessary. Perhaps he has interests of the more solitary sort?

So we should just follow it and see what it wants to do?

[Gudetama just wants to watch Desperate Housewives.]

[ Sir, you are a Child. ]

I do think it's a good idea to keep an eye on him. Solitary desires or not, he's still an unborn child.

Indeed.

... Otherwise, he will also continue to make a mess of things.

[ leaky egg.... is back ]

[OH RIGHT THE LEAK]

Oh, right, he's probably leaving a trail behind him like a snail, huh. We have to try to keep him from moving too far.
[HEADING OFF AFTER THE EGG!]

[ She's just going to limp after him and the egg. Gudetama, why don't you want to hang with your cool parents :( ]

[ DOES THIS EGG WALK?

... either way: ]

... Shall I retrieve a towel?

[SURELY IT'S ROLLING?]

... It's... I think it's watching TV?
[He's caught up to it. It can't be that. It doesn't have eyes. And yet, that's what it's parked itself in front of.]

... At such a young age... but yes Alphinaud, I think a towel would be handy.

[ There's probably an extra towel on the floor. Alphinaud grabs one of those and decides Tsuyukusa is on egg cleaning duty, so here's your towel, buddy. ]

Is watching television at a young age unusual?

[Through some blessed miracle, Tsuyukusa does not protest, and begins but wiping up the nearby egg trail before trying to bundle the egg up to absorb future leaks and also mayhaps prevent it from rolling away again.]

Probably it should at least watch better television?

Right... infants do better with educational television early on, though I can't even call it an infant yet.

[ LOOK AT IT. ]

I... know not what to call it, to speak true. I've yet to see an egg act so... alive.
