seasonality | WEEK 6: MINGLE

week 6: mingle

remaining students: 26

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: 183
☀️ SUMMER: 184
🍁 FALL: 233
❄️ WINTER: 273

It's time. It's here. ~~Dead~~ Hot Girl Summer. Temperatures are heating up around campus, the smoothie shop is the place to be, and it seems like the end of the school year is in sight. Isn't that exciting? 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 Leo Valdez, Tsuyukusa, and Otome have all disappeared. Expulsion is a hell of a drug.

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

In order to combat the weather, it seems like there are quite a few stations set up around campus. There's a bunch of faucets that weren't there before, coupled with incredibly necessary supplies. Go for it, you know you want to. All's fair in love and Dorm Wars. Though it may be just a little concerning when, for very short blips at a time, you might be able to hear a clip of someone's thoughts as they happen.

At the very least, it looks like we're on the right track, thinking the sleepers and the victims are part of the same pool of people. Bad things coming in threes, and such.

Wasn't that a hint at some point...? That everything happens in threes? So it being by design probably isn't too off the mark.

The old man said it, when Lucretia asked him about the sleepers last week.

[ nods ]

Speaking of threes– the dean's list. We're all still more or less at a loss there, yeah? The only thing I can really think of is that no one's ever been on it twice.

I haven't heard any logistics behind who gets put on the dean's list, and any time someone's told me they've asked, it's just been that "Principal Bear decides."

Yeah. Either that or because of "exceptional performance as a Wiwaldi student." [ crosses his arms ] From personal experience...I feel like the only thing I did differently the week I ended up on the list was finish a couple of extra credit assignments. I didn't really think it was that impressive, though.

The week that Alph, Taichi, and I were on it was the very first, full week that we were here. We'd only been running around for a few days with no clue of what was going on beforehand.

About the only thing I did was brown nose Viola a little, when the dorm heads first showed up for contact, to see if I could get any additional information out of her, but it didn't do much of anything.

[chiming in from wherever the fuck.]

I did my extra credit that Saturday before we were up there. So I kinda thought maybe that was why I was on the list. But I also talked to all four of the dorm heads when they messaged us.

[ wherever he's being a TEACHER'S PET... nerd ]

Yeah, I didn't do mine for quite a while, and focused primarily on Viola. So I can't say for sure what the criteria is. [ for all they know, it's randomized. ] Apparently the tears were, according to the bear, that they weren't careful putting them up.

[ he doesn't seem to believe that ]

The week before I was on the Dean's List, I just talked to Principal Bear, who just gave me a Your Did It sticker during trial....for just talkin' to him, I guess? It makes no sense.

I don't think I was exceptional... I didn't even go to class the week before ending up on the Dean's List.

I didn't do any extra credit last week. All I did was go to class and participate in that egg nonsense.

[And went to a party and got drunk and-

He is abruptly patting his cheeks with his hands. He's not sure if that's being broadcasted out to everyone or not but he wants to stop that thought before it goes further just in case.]

[lalli you can't run from your gay thoughts, mandi knows this from experience]

We don't have any ripped ones this week, either. That's the first time, isn't it?

... I think so, yes. I remember Principal Bear claimed it was just the administration being careless. But there was a theory about the rips, wasn't there?

I remember hearing about it, but...

[ feels like my head is full of theories at this point. ]

You don't remember either, huh?

[their brains are swiss cheese...]

No, week three didn't have any rips either.

[ my cyoa week... ]

So what's the logic with these rips then?

Don't know, man. Do we know if this stuff is relevant? I've been trying to find patterns in it for a week or two and I can't, like... find anything substantial.

[she's looking over her own version of notes with a sigh.]

Yeah. The same goes for the sleepers, too. I tried charting it out to look for patterns, see if we can predict what might happen next...

[she'll show a chart from her notebook!]

They're highlighted with their dorm colors, but at this point, I'm not sure that those matter. [they look nice, though.]

... I don't know about the Dean's List, but hasn't the Teacher's Pet shared a dorm with one of the victims more often than not?

[Which is, hm. Looks at Taichi? Bad.]

Yeah, but I've been thinking about this. When you consider there are only four dorms and usually multiple victims, there's a chance of that pattern being only a coincidence.

Mm, and considering this... [ he points to otome killing both lan wangji and wang lu ] Dorms might not have as much significance as we think? Because...under the Dorm Wars premise, it doesn't make any sense to sabotage your own dorm.

It is true that there's a near 50-50 chance... Though, it does make me wonder when it happens more often than note.
