INTRO MINGLE
WELCOME IN

ORIENTATION DAY
It’s a bright Monday afternoon at the Academy. If the sun happened to be visible, it would certainly be shining. The new semester that everyone has been waiting for is about to begin!
All students wake up at exactly the same time–not that you’re aware of this. Even those who don’t normally sleep must have given into slumber at some point; they, too, will jolt awake with the strangest sensation that someone was just whispering in their ears. The beds that you’ll find yourself in are small and unfamiliar, and you wake up wearing a uniform that you don’t recognize even though it fits you like a glove. A red book with black cardstock lining the inner cover sits on each dorm nightstand. Opening the book reveals a strange code of conduct. The following pages list, in alphabetical order, all of the students.
Beyond the handbook and a change of familiar clothes in the closet, there’s little personalization to the rooms, and they lack most homey comforts. As unusual as these surroundings may seem, it’s impossible to shake the subtle, lingering excitement: It’s the first day of school! What a delightful occasion. Shouldn’t everyone want to make the most of the year? The subtle, unshakeable desire to achieve sits in the back of every mind like the story of a happy dream. Perhaps you brush your hair or wash your teeth before going on with your splendid day. Your reflection in your bathroom mirror looks a little off, did you forget to cut your hair before the big day? Perhaps you realize that your nails or claws have been trimmed recently. A little odd but you must have been excited for a brand new school year.
The world outside the dorm room holds a few more answers, but most things are still shrouded in mystery. Today, it seems that some rooms are still locked up tight from summer vacation. Beside the dormitory and hallways, only the cafeteria, kitchen, gym, playground, school store, and A/V room are accessible. Outside the cafeteria, a digital sign titled DAILY SCHEDULE offers little structure, save for one afternoon event: 5PM - PREFECT’S ORIENTATION - AUDITORIUM. There’s a lot of business to take care of on the first day of school, after all. No one can just be expected to start learning without the proper preparation.
With some time to kill before the promised orientation takes place–and, according to that rulebook, everyone is expected to attend–students have only each other and the various robot sheep for company. With such a small class, perhaps working together will bring you newfound and long-lasting partnerships. The robotic staff seem polite, at least, if a bit confused at the sudden flurry of non-scheduled activities.
How will you spend your first day before classes begin?
OOC NOTES
While we're sure that some people are dying to get a head start on investigating all of the mysteries of the school (we're excited to reveal them), please hold your investigation comment ideas until the weekly post goes up tomorrow. As all ground floor locations should be open for exploration at that time, we invite everyone to scratch all of your investigation itches on tomorrow's post at noon (also Eastern)! In lieu of investigation threads today, characters may speak to/question/accost the Little Brothers, who have an NPC thread down below.
Thank you, and have fun!

[Immediately there is a blue??? hedgehog, making to grab his shoulders.]
What kind of way past crazy place is this!?

[He grimaces.]
This is the most uncool kidnapping ever. No speed, and I gotta go to school? I'd rather hear Ant sing than that!

[Yeah man, he's not happy. Not. Happy.]
Fastest I've ever gone was the speed of sound, kid! That's why they call me Sonic!

no subject
Yes we do! I can't let you not see my awesome moves!
There's gotta be a way, right? We just need a map-!

Oh, right, name's Sonic, by the way.
[Fistbump?]

Turbo "Dewey" Duck! When there's a good plan of action, all we gotta do is just Dewey it! Let's go!

Let's do it to it!
[TO THE PLAYGROUND]

[Ok, so playground. Iron gate.]
...
Hm. The cliff might be a problem without a way to rappel down...
no subject
Dang... How high is this cliff anyway? I don't even hear an ocean, no waves crashing or anything. We aren't exactly in the clouds, though... [He leaned against the fence.] Think, think...
no subject
[Shakes it. Nope. No give.]
If I could Sonic Spin through it, that'd be good, but I don't have the juice to do it here so we gotta also climb over this thing too.
...
[He doesn't see much in the way of ropes outright on the playground...]

Otherwise you're just buttering the fence. Or something.
[Wait, isn't there a shed-]

Sonic's face lights up at the sight.]
Jackpot, dude!
no subject
[He immediately got to work, tying every jump rope end-to-end.] Every rope, blanket, and other such thing, we gotta find now!
no subject
[He goes and returns with his sheets.]
We'll get down that cliff no problem!
