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.

Yeah, right? My Professor would give the most interesting lectures, and dozens of people would come just to see them.

[ he glances at florence, giving him a pitying smile. ]

Maybe Mrs. Lorelei should read up on education instead of history and psychology. [ a sigh. ] Making a sales pitch doesn’t seem that fun.

It certainly educates us in making effective appeals to people and thus in integrating well into groups by pandering to their needs.

So it works towards the exact kind of goal I do not care for at all. On top of being pretty boring.

Still, I think it’s fun to see how different people work together. In our case, not that well!

[ he laughs, looking at the others. ]

Nevertheless, they’re still kind of trying. I love how persistent and stubborn people can be, even in times like these.

You're a really weird guy.

[ Which is saying something when coming from Miach. ]
