Oh, really? ... My "home" isn't really a home either, so... I think I understand a little bit.
Someone else...? Oh, well I'm glad that you're making good use of the scarf. Please continue to stay warm and healthy! The Winters here are especially chilly. I'll see if I can have some warm soup prepared for the Common Room next week.
I believe Kon and Ichiro are looking into exchanging Vouchers for medical supplies - I can explain that process to you as well if you'd like. I just want to make sure you're doing well.
I like long stories but I also won't make you tell one you don't want to. I'm sure you have other long stories that might be more fun?
Of course! I'll use the example of the First Aid Kit - which is typically 10 Vouchers. (This sounds like a lot right now, but I'm sure you'll all get more Vouchers after this week.) Dorm Heads can add or subtract 2 to all base prices - so I would exchange a First Aid Kit for 8 Vouchers. I don't play around when it comes to medical supplies. I'd give it to you for free if I could, but at least I will always give you full discount when you need them. That goes for people outside my Dorm as well. However if you'd like an individual piece of a First Aid Kit, bandages are 2 Vouchers base price. Unfortunately everything must cost at least 1 Voucher even with a discount - nothing can be free.
You're friends with Caleb, correct? I still don't fully grasp the magic but I looked into it as I promised - At the very least, you should be able to have some things marginally restored to you using Vouchers. Prices will vary, and you can haggle with any Dorm Head for prices. I'd still like to speak with him, if he'd still like to speak with me.
Personally, I do like to play games and make it interesting since Vouchers translate to Points for me as a Dorm Head, but I also try to be mindful of not doing so with important sentimental items. But if there are other things you'd like - even if it didn't originally belong to you back home - you should be able to ask for it here in exchange for Vouchers.
I'll tell you when I eventually see you in person how about that
[she takes a minute to read, and then:]
Holy shit yeah that makes a lot of sense Can I tell Caleb that? Can I get some of my ki back I miss having it maybe my staff How do I get Vouchers is it the tasks and going to class or whatever Oh and do you know anything about the extra credit stuff
Oh! That's more than I was expecting - thank you, Beauregard. I look forward to it. I'll try to hurry home soon.
Of course you can! I was thinking of all the - erm, magic users? Wizards? (I'm not sure what they're called) Well, they came to mind when I found out. You should be able to get all of that back, yes - though they'd all cost more than even 1 Voucher right now, unfortunately. So there's nothing I can do... You can get Vouchers for completing tasks in Dorm Wars, for completing your Extra Credit, speaking with your Dorm Head, going to Extracurriculars, and other good behavior. We're restricted from telling you all ways - but those are the very important ones!
What questions do you have about Extra Credit?
But of course! I'm happy to finally be able to give you some satisfactory answers.
Then moving forward I will cause them Wizards(?). Hmm, if you name some things you'd like, I can see if I can give them to you for 1 Voucher? You can also pool Vouchers with your friends. You're familiar with Mollymauk and Caleb from what I gather? Maybe you can get something worth 3 Vouchers together if you don't want to wait until you get more.
Oh, really? Principal Bear normally assigns Extra Credit, yes! Can I ask what yours was?
[she just likes saying she has friends, honestly.]
We can probably wait I guess since we're not even sure how long we'll be here or if this is going to matter
Uh Can I tell you that? It said I wasn't supposed to talk about it Not that that usually stops me but if it's gonna fuck me out of a prize I don't wanna do it
Oh! I'm glad that you're all here together then. It's good to be with friends.
Of course! That makes sense. Then when you decide, you can let me know if you'd like to request anything from me or try your hand at haggling.
In this case, I'm glad you are refraining! You shouldn't tell too many people about your Extra Credit, though you can let it slip to one or two other people if you need help accomplishing it. I think there are a few like that. But you can tell Dorm Heads about them without any issue - we just can't help you accomplish them. I'm just being curious...
Is that so... Well, completing Extra Credit will get you more Vouchers either way. So please continue to work hard! Even if you don't plan to stay long, maybe you can get something good before you leave? Might as well for all the trouble you've gone through, if you ask me...
Yeah I'm interested in the vouchers I don't especially want to be here because shit was happening at home and I need to be present for that but as long as I'm here I might as well try to game the system
Hey can I ask you something How much do you guys know about us anyway The student ID stuff was kind of personal I don't know if it was the bear's idea or not but
Oh! Hm, well, it is better I mention this now. Dorm Heads are able to listen to the conversations that their Dorm Residents have - I'll admit now very sincerely that between your arrival and today I haven't had time to do so, and don't plan on invading privacy more than courtesy check-ups. (There are some people in particular who have been getting into multiple scrapes against the geese who are the most wretched and evil creatures on this campus and I feel like I can't ignore that.) But regardless, even if I happen to overhear something on accident, I would never dare to share your private information with anyone.
As for the core of your question, I don't know anything about you in particular, but I would never be against getting to know you. The items on your ID are information compiled from your entrance application and exams! So really, it feels like another point in favor of you all enrolling through the normal process... So puzzling...
Oh, and absolutely game the system. I'm an opportunist at heart, you know? I welcome everyone to be the same.
You can say Dimitri I know that's who you're talking about
[hmmm.]
I guess being honest gets you some points Don't listen to my shit though I'm not against getting to know you too but I don't like being spied on so we do it the normal way
You don't think someone just faked all our applications do you
Beauregard, the honking haunts my dreams and I've avoided geese for the past year. I have no idea how he can stand it.
Of course - I understand. I will avoid doing so as much as I can. I feel like anything I learn without you telling me yourself would be unearned in the first place.
That was the prank idea that Luke brought up, right? But how could someone fake applications that apparently have true and personal information about you?
[she laughs at the first part and it picks up on the speech to text]
Nothing stands in the way of vengeance for that dude I guess Including against birds
But yeah I don't know how that could've happened It just seems off that there's what forty-two of us who just showed up confused about how we got here that's a big number
Please forget vengeance for 8 hours and return to the dorm for sleep and a shower! I want to hurry home for so many reasons, Beauregard, but trying to wrangle that gentleman(?) is a big part!! I care about all of you very much, you know?
It is a significant number, you're right. Someone mentioned to me that it's also the first year Dorm Wars started - But even with those two things together, it feels like such a strange oddity. I asked Principal Bear myself about it again since the Forum and he gave me the same confident answer that you all should definitely be here. (It's not enough to get me to give up trying to resolve the matter, mind you, but still...)
It's hard to give an exact number since there are so many grades enrolled. However other classes certainly have more than 42 enrolled.
Hmmm, from what I can tell, he seems like a very volatile type... No, no, if anyone has to face him to drag him back, it should be my responsibility. I don't want you to face any danger or to get too close to the geese that surround him. I don't want any more unfortunate run-ins with those web-footed devils.
That's correct. This is the first time we are running the Dorm Wars event programming.
Oh no, you didn't like them?! I thought only Cats was bad. What were the others?
Never mind Theoretical physics had an absolute asshole as a teacher and not the fun kind The Shakespeare one was alright I guess but I don't know if it counts as learning
Beauregard noooooooooo Please make sure you wash your bites thoroughly! If you aren't going to ask for bandages with Vouchers, please tear some of the clean linen into strips to cover! Even use the scarf if you must! I'll understand!
I've heard good things about art today that's true.... How about this - when I return to the dorm, we'll learn more worthwhile things together? You said you had subjects you were interested in, right?

Is anything worth 1 Voucher?
Uh for the extra credit like who assigns it, is it you, is it the bear
Because the one I got was not exactly academic

Oh that's fine then
Principal Bear apparently wants me to hold a girl's hand
Like I guess he's trying to be a wingman?
no subject
Oh!
I wasn't expecting that.
At least it doesn't sound particularly taxing...?
no subject
I mean taxing no
Really fucking off the wall nuts yes?
Why is a bear telling me to hold hands with girls
no subject
I suppose socializing and building relationships is part of the school experience but...
no subject
Don't all caps that
Stop
Backspace
Ugh whatever
I did it already so it's fine I just thought it was weird considering Crow's probably had something to do with his name
no subject
Hehe, no, no, I felt the spirit of that I GUESS.
Is that so...
Well, completing Extra Credit will get you more Vouchers either way.
