02 - week two

[afflictionmods]

WEEK TWO

When the glitter settles and everyone returns to their dorms - or wherever they intend to sleep for the night, if you’re planning on sleeping at all - your first week of school officially ends. Perhaps it was better than you expected, perhaps it was worse.

Hopefully you learned a bit more about teamwork and school spirit.

Still, this course is going to run for longer than a full week, and come Sunday morning you’re still exactly as you were when you settled down for the night. Still in Estelline, still with that mark on your wrist, still connected to your partner. There are some changes, though. The bookstore has received quite a few books, and those of you who added to the bulletin board and pep rally tasks in the first week will find an envelope taped to their dorm door (or themselves, if they spent the night elsewhere). Inside of the envelope is some kind of voucher! Furthermore, the common area is covered in a bunch of glitter.

Also, there are a ton of eggs in the kitchen – at least 10 dozens.

Florence or Lorelei are still available, should you wish to speak to them.

Finally, you've got some new locations to explore.

[Co-op versus solo play has a totally different feel and there's a few moments where Idia's aiming and- ah, that one's down already- and he has to adjust.]

[It's the slightest difference and it's nowhere near enough to have them not complete a level. Just a little bit.]

Eh? Uwa, [and when he's finally got a moment to catch his breath, he can start being worried about the social part]

... a- acceptable, I guess, for your first time...

[kaientai]

Yeah? Who knows, maybe with a little practise I could be a real expert one day, huh?

[ he knows he hardly has the attention span to accomplish anything like that but it's fun to entertain the thought in the moment. it's funny! ]

Sorry if that threw you off, by the way. You make it look easy!

[ignihidden]

[Expert... like a pro? From what he'd seen of tournament online there weren't too many people who did competitive play with the add-ons. Maybe there should be, though, he'll have to add it to the playlist when he gets home...]

W- Well, old arcade games... the point is to be super hard... so you have to spend more tokens... or so I've read...

[he fidgets with the neon, plastic gun]

I just play a lot of FPSes...

[kaientai]

Hoh? FPSes?

[ yes, he pronounces that slowly and says eff-pee-ess-ess. ]

What's that?

[ignihidden]

[................ boomer?]

Eh, uh, ah...

"First person shooter." It's a- a type of game.

[kaientai]

[ buddy, you have no idea. ]

Oh! Well, I've never played any of those before! Are you a gamer then?

[ he's heard that word at some point, at least. ]

[ignihidden]

Um.

[the deer in the headlights of a normie asking if you're a gamer]

Y- Yeah. I like lots of games...

...first time... real life arcade...
