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.

We'll be counting on you to hold his leash in case his suggestions divert into that truculent territory.

[His way of saying 'welp if thats what he does then you deal with it because its your job']

Sure, I have more than enough experience restraining others.

[ There is no argument here, for better or worse.]

HHHHHELKRLDLDKF?

[Yes, that's a verbal keysmash. No, we don't know how that happened.

Tamamori is just furiously waving his sleeves around like the most angry semaphore known to mankind so maybe he's trying to communicate something--]

He's-- He's barely an editor! Most of the time he's just using my work as drink coasters!!

That speaks ill of the quality of your writing, my good friend.

[Don't admit it so openly, wow]
unsinksyourship: (frog off)

[personal profile] unsinksyourship 2022-05-28 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Say that after you've had something critiqued by him? Do you always take people at their word without any other research?!

[So huffy, but also he sounds like he's used to arguing something like this point so RIP.]

Show me your writing at some point. I will inform you if it's deserving of such a treatment.

[Not that he's one to spare feelings, welp]
unsinksyourship: (this looks like a frog beach mag)

I-It's not like I arrived with any of my manuscripts, just like you probably don't have any of your things! But I'll hold you to that. Someday.

[God, is there two of them. Tamamori isn't one to back down from a challenge....... is that a fault or not, mystery.]

If we look at it another way, doesn't this mean he always keeps your writing close?

[ Would he use Xingqiu's writing as coasters... Does he even know Xingqiu writes LNs? Find out in the next episode - ]

[ WOW HIS WRITING IS MAGNIFIQUE*

Somehow I feel like you're misunderstanding how drink coasters work...

[Xingyun is probably more functional regardless but yes please learn about the LN life, obviously that is the point of partner game. ☆]

Am I? Do you not keep your drinks close by? And if you do, that would mean the coaster is also close by. So in that sense, a part of you is generally by his side.

[ WHAT IS HE MISSING IN THIS EQUATION ]
