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.

[catarou]

[ 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.

Red; red, green; red, green, blue; red, green, blue, yellow.

[unluckyday]

[ Bennett enters the new sequence, very carefully. ]

[pr159]

Looks like that worked.

[catarou]

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]

Pretty sure that first one is a coliseum but OK.

[ take it away, bennie ]

[unluckyday]

[ He's feeling more confident, so he's gonna push those buttons faster! But first: ]

[imitationsoul]

[pr159]

He's pressing. 😒

[catarou]

Are they not the same?

[ this makes sense to no one but gentaro ]

[pr159]

No.

[catarou]

We agree to disagree, then.

[pr159]

[ He starts to type a reply to this... right before the bomb explodes and he has to drop his tablet to try to shield his eyes from the mushroom cloud of glitter. ]

What— Ugh.

[escardos]

[ guess who has been absolutely unhelpful this whole time— ]

Uwah… glitter!?!?

[superstructure]

[ hey, it's objectively better than being helpful and then immediately fucking things up – ]

Well, that went well.

[ He pulls off his glasses to try and wipe the lenses clear of glitter. It's everywhere. There is no escape. ]

[pr159]

Thanks.
