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.

GROUP #3.

[instructus]

[ignihidden]

Eh... so, basically, it's like a game?... this class might be easier than I thought.

... defusers, can you hear us? Let's begin.

[festiverogue]

Oooh, Idia, you're being cool! Niiice work!

[He's poring the book over to try to memorize things.]

Defusers, can you tell us the color of the big button?

[magicam]

The big button is red!

[cheerfuldays]

Please find the wires, then!

[iubar]

[ he's peering at the bomb ]

What's up with the wires?

[ignihidden]

The color of the wires, and-

[at this point, his shoulder bumps against Shizuku's. RIP]

S-... S-rl numbr...

[vivens]

What was that? Did you say something else?

[ sir?? ]

Well, the wires are blue, red, yellow, and green—in that order.

[festiverogue]

Serial number. There should be one somewhere. What's the number?

SABOTAGE, YEET

[sicklysweet]

[Owen is not in a particularly great mood, even when his team finishes first, but he will gladly take a confetti canon and waltz into the third classroom.]

Wow. I thought you'd be doing better than this.

[And he's going to set it off - which is incredibly loud - and leave.

But not before making a face at Madara and Cater. 😔]

[cheerfuldays]

( having just given sabo the final instructions, shizuku glances up at the entrance and... )

Eh?

( OH THAT'S LOUD HER EARS- owie. )

[iubar]

[ He's passed out and now covered in confetti. YAY. ]

[vivens]

[ ace is a criminal for getting away with all of this while sabo suffers. ]

[iubar]

[ he absolutely is.

but he gradually wakes up and looks around. ]

Wires...?

[vivens]

[ oh.

while brushing some confetti off of him. ]

All taken care of.

[iubar]

[ huh. ]

The rest of the bomb?

[vivens]

Like I said, all taken care of.

[magicam]

[Congratulations, Owen, the sudden loud noise succeeds in startling Cater clear out of his chair - where he's been slumped, after a paRTICULARLY STRESSFUL MOMENT, THANKS - right when Owen makes a face at him. For extra humiliation. He even yelps as he hits the floor, wow! Thanks, friend!]

[festiverogue]

[Madara just SMILES and does not so much as flinch.

But now he's got confetti in his hair.]

[cheerfuldays]

( don't mind her just gently brushing the confetti out of his hair with her fingers. she doesn't want this getting into their beds!! )

[festiverogue]

[Well, that's adorable. He just smiles at her.]

That guy, huh...

[cheerfuldays]

I don't think I've met him yet. Are you friends?

( sometimes male friendship is confetti canons and weird faces??? )

[festiverogue]

Friends?

[He laughs.]

I deeefinitely wouldn't say that. He's a character, though. Watch out for him. He lies a loooot.

[ignihidden]

[man fell over in his chair and has accepted death]

[vivens]

[ well.

at least it isn't painful like the zaps were.... he'll have to pick out the confetti from his hair later and his ears are ringing but you know what? this is fine. if anything this feels like some sort of cruel way to celebrate their victory. ]
