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.

[The little "you did it!" chime is almost... jarring. But. Well.]

That was it!!

[And he is promptly (carefully!!!) setting the bomb back down on the table.]

Ah... well done, Cater. ( she sounds so warm! ) Then last is symbols... I need you to find a house with a trail leading up to it, with smaller houses, it looks like, in the back!

[ now that sabo has dumped ace somewhere (safe) where he can finish off his nap, he'll give cater a nod. ]

I got this.

[ so go rest my man. ]

The houses? Yes, what about them? [ after a quick moment. ] There are three other symbols among it in the same space.

[An aside that need not be responded to: he's fully slumped in the chair, feeling very frazzled and very uncute. Thank you for picking up the slack, Sabo.]

[Idia shuffles to leaning more forward, back in his Focused stance,]

You'll have to hit the symbols in the right order. The first one is what Milady Shizuku said, a group of houses with a path leading up to it...

[ if sabo is struggling after the zap then he's pushing right past it with gusto because despite his yelling at ace just moments ago, he's back on track and focused. they're almost through this. ]

Easy enough.

[ and the house button is pushed. ]

Next?

[Madara's tension is starting to get annoying, but he's confident in this team now.]

Next one's... a coliseum or a stadium. It's a big round building with a straight path leading up to it. Push that next, if you don't mind.

Got it.

[ unsure if this will help because who knows what they have on the other side, but: ]

I have an "X" and a button with two arrows on it remaining.

Oh! That's the exact order, too! X, and then the arrows!

[ aand he will push the buttons in that exact order. x then arrows. which he will be rewarded with that cute little celebratory noise.

Looks like we're in the clear.

[.................. and the extremely loud confetti popper]

Uwa?!

[idia falls over backwards in his chair and just lays there RIP]

[ UWA??

sabo makes a pointed decision to not put his hands anywhere on the bomb and might move it out of the way in case the confetti popper decides to freak anyone else out to give them another shock.

twice is enough!!!

[The little victory noise follows the confetti cannon from hell, and Madara rocks back to sit on the floor from where he was crouching. He lets out a breath.]

Done. Great job, everybody!

[But he's looking at Shizuku, Cater, and Idia in turn to make sure they're doing okay.]

Oh! Well done!

Goodness, that was exciting... I've never done anything like that before!

( it seems that she's doing fine. and she probably is? but also... it was pretty stressful despite the fairly low stakes, huh. )
