01.50 - week one, saturday
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.

[Sholmes raises a finger]
How about a screwdriver that can provide us with enough currency to always acquire anything we want?
['how about we break the in-game economy' suggests sholmes]

[Hah, Sholmes seems confused, somehow]

['no more empty pockets for chongyun' is the slogan of our creation]
no subject
That's one option... It's guaranteed to be something they should be capable of doing as well, since it's their own store.
[so no weaseling out of it with 'we can't implement this feature'!!]
no subject
It also would ensure we receive votes from other people here, fulfilling this exercise. Who can resist the allure of currency?
[Haha, I'm so sorry, mods]
no subject
But hmm... yeah, while he doesn't care much about actually winning, he does think it's practical at the least. He nods.]
I think we should consider it.
no subject
I don't want to cheat anyone of their hard-earned coin. Will this affect the pay of the workers in any way?
no subject
Isn't thinking currency thinking smaller?
no subject
no subject
[Is it. Is it really.
He resumes talking fast enough that it no longer matters!! Because he says it doesn't!!]
Instead of going backwards to currency, we go forwards. If this screwdriver is so great, then it should be able to replicate itself infinitely. Isn't that more valuable than currency?
