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.

Might be easier if Rideaux does this one. [ Since he's got plenty of experience with surgery, which is clearly necessary for a kid's toy. Whatever.

It takes a second, but right before whoever actually goes and does it, a brief, all-too-familiar sharp of pain shoots up his left arm, causing him to let out a quiet hiss as he grabs his arm. ]

OK

[ But then, well. Despite being both a practiced surgeon and very used to constant background pain, the sudden sharp spike in pain in his left hand catches Rideaux off guard enough that he flinches right as he's getting ready to snip the yellow wire, and ends up slicing through the blue one instead.

And then gets a shock on top of everything, which is great.

Grabbing his hand, he shoots a glare at the person responsible, and has to hold back the urge to punch him since he's pretty sure he'd be stuck feeling that too. So he just swats his tablet onto the floor instead. ]


Damn it, Julius!

[ OUCH?? Miach flinches at the pain and then just kind of smiles serenely... ]

Now that's more of a re-education vibe.
catarou: (so what are we playing?)

[personal profile] catarou 2022-05-28 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wow! Hate that. ]

[ and to the defusers-- ]

Is everything okay?
pr159: (or even care)

[personal profile] pr159 2022-05-29 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Blame Kresnik.

[ Huffs and looks back down at his wires, which have apparently had the undo button pressed on them. ]

OK, it reset. GYBR right?
imitationsoul: (Like a hostage tied in chains)

Yes, that is correct.

[ Out loud he will offer, a little more sheepishly: ]

Want me to try this time...? Just in case! That looked like it hurt pretty bad.
pr159: (not a thing i wish would last forever)

[personal profile] pr159 2022-05-29 12:12 am (UTC)(link)

[ The more this happens, the more annoyed Gentaro gets--not at the others, but like. At the general everything. Whatever. It's fine. ]

Ah. Hit the buttons in this order.

[ Bennett enters the new sequence, very carefully. ]
pr159: (as if you've never caused a scene)

[personal profile] pr159 2022-05-29 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Looks like that worked.
catarou: (with such tomfoolery once more)

[personal profile] catarou 2022-05-29 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Excellent.

Please press the symbols in this order: A structure that resembles a stage with two pillars on each side of a runway; four houses; two curved arrows creating a circle; a star.
pr159: (i don't have time to regret)

imitationsoul: (And then look away)

[personal profile] imitationsoul 2022-05-29 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
