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.

Worshipping the gods comes with a set of morals attached, right? The gods define good and bad. Those beliefs are what I mean.

Oh! Yeah, I guess so...

What if there's 7 of them, though? And what if the one that's in charge of the country you live in isn't the one that gave you your Vision?

My Vision! I don't have it here, but it's a a gem that lets me use Pyro energy when I fight. I'm from Mondstadt, which is protected by Barbatos, the Anemo Archon. But the Pyro Archon is all the way over in Natlan. I've never met her, or even visited Natlan at all!
imitationsoul: (What a generous remark you made)

........

Well. Do your fire powers dictate your morals? Because if they don't then this is unrelated.

You do understand that good and bad are not objective values, right?

[ Bennett shakes his head at the very question, but brightens up at the second. ]

Of course! Like... my friend Razor doesn't like to talk during meals and I always thought that was weird. Then I realized that cause he was raised by wolves it's probably normal to not want to say anything while he eats! And my other friend Fischl always talks about how she's mysterious and no one can compare to her, but she's from a whole different world, so I bet that's normal for her, too.

There's probably all sorts of stuff like that, right?
