W1 SATURDAY

The first week of the Personal Enrichment Course draws to a close, which means it’s time for the first lesson. Hopefully by now you’ve gotten to know your classmates a bit better - but if you haven’t, that’s okay.

This first lesson is just going to be teamwork exercises, after all.

Bright and early Saturday morning, you wake up. Maybe you had a good night’s rest, or maybe you hardly got any sleep... Either way, the sun is shining, the day is beginning, and Lorelei's voice suddenly comes through everyone's tablets as well as the P.A. system on campus.

”Good morning. All students must report to the lecture hall by 8 o’clock for their first lesson. Lessons are mandatory. Please report to the classroom with its doors open.”

Which gives you about thirty minutes, so it’d be best to hurry. Do you want to be tardy? And if you think about bailing, well… you know what might happen if you fail the course.

When everyone gathers in the same hall they awoke in, Florence is there to greet you. They will gesture for everyone to take a seat, and once seated, the projector in the room turns on. Say hello to Lorelei and her usual cup of coffee.

“Good morning, everyone. Welcome to your first official exercise; today’s activities are designed to emphasize teamwork and cooperation so you are all more prepared for dealing with what’s yet to come. I have already split you into teams for the day, via raffle. There will be two activities total, and you will be completing them in the same teams. Regardless of whether you get along with your teammates or not, you’re going to have to figure out a way to finish each exercise successfully.”

She keeps that same calm, collected smile on her lips as she props up what appears to be a tablet of her own on her desk.

And insulation so you can keep the compartment with your food chilled.

[ actually giving this task to a bunch of rpg characters was brilliant ]

[superstructure]

If we're going with this many avenues, then it might be worth expanding the amount it carries on the inside.

[ this really is just turning into an inventory system, huh........... ]

[catarou]

Hmm. If we are adding storage and compartments, if it is possible, I wonder if adding voice recognition to locate the exact compartment would be useful.

[superstructure]

Or just locating a particular item, for efficiency's sake.

[ Unless you're not sure what you're looking for, in which case?????? ]

[pr159]

We're still trying to sell this thing, let's not forget about keeping production costs down.

[superstructure]

For votes, not money.

[ r-right??? ]

[catarou]

Are you sure?

[superstructure]

[ gentaro bls ]

That's what they said.

[catarou]

Does developing a product not require money, even if they already have the technology they need?

[pr159]

They said "market it as a product", and part of what makes a product appealing should be its attainability, or perception thereof. I'd think the GHS Prince would be conscious of that.

But whatever. If we're throwing price constraints to the wind, then yes, we might as well add it.

[ looks at rideaux, looks at gentaro

......

you know what, maybe miach has a point after all. ]

[pr159]

[ yeah fuck you ]

[escardos]

Maybe we should make something like a TARDIS. Bigger on the inside than the outside!

[pr159]

A what?

[escardos]

You know, like space ship The Doctor has.

[ this explains nothing ]

[pr159]

What doctor?

[ HE'S the doctor here. ]

[escardos]

The Doctor. He doesn’t practice medicine.

[ ???????? ]

[pr159]

Who are you—



[ sigh ]

...You know what, probably doesn't matter right now.

[escardos]

That’s right!

[ he nods in agreement ]

The point is that they should have a bag that is bigger on the inside than on the outside.

[pr159]

Yes, agreed.

[ How the fuck do they do that, I have no idea, but if Ludger can carry large bowls of mabo curry and soda rice and pudding cakes and swords and guns and hammers and discs and beast dung in his bag all at once, I'm just going to say that is a thing. ]

[escardos]

And it should be a fashionable color! Like bright yellow!

[ no. ]

[pr159]

It's black. It needs to be versatile enough to go with whatever color a person is wearing.

That said, if we were to make a whole line out of this, I think having the option to customize your color for an additional fee would be a good idea.
