WINTER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 1

common room.
Similar to the rest of the architecture, the common room in the Winter Dorm is almost more reminiscent of a tea room or parlor that you would find in a manor. A chandelier hangs above, everything in the room glistening in the light that is both welcoming and just a tinge cold. Seating is available for a number of people to gather, adjusting each week to seemingly accommodate a little bit over the number of people assigned to the dorm. A piano doesn't sit too far, and sometimes when the room isn't too full, it's almost like a beautiful classical melody will begin to play itself to make up for the empty space.
Or... is that a showtune...?
Who can say?
This week, there appears to be some new festivities set out.
specialty room.
However on the first floor, there's an oddity amidst the serene architecture. One of the rooms opens to a Gaming Lounge, complete with screens that stretch across the entirety of one wall length-wise. Incredible comfortable chairs and couches sit opposite the screen, comfortable enough to steal you away from the outside world for hours upon hours. A series of gaming systems are hooked up to the screens, and a small tower of handhelds sit on a bookcase nearby. Every game you can think of is downloaded and programmed onto each device, though every time you start one up it seems to immediately pull up an otome game or farming simulator. The lighting system changes between a rainbow of colors, and one wall is lined with snacks that are a little less decadent but still just as delicious. The room will adjust based on the needs of the game you play, a wall spinning out to roll out DDR dance pads, virtual reality goggles, or whatever you could need for the ultimate gaming experience.
No, it isn't incredibly reminiscent of Dude Perfect's Game Time Lounge. You're imagining it. (But really, click the link for a better idea of what the room looks like.)
Please use this as an open post for members of Winter Dorm. You may post top-levels whenever you'd like and go wild. A new post will go up at the start of each week.
THE BETTER SMASH
Anger is a useful tool to sharpen the senses.
But too much of it can be blinding.
So let's blow off some steam, shall we?
If even a single person gets marginally hurt, the party is over. Look out for each other. Wear the goggles around the glass or I will find you.
Have fun! Everything you could need is in the back.
- V ♥
[ Set up behind Winter Dorm and only available to its residents will be about a dozen pinatas, some incredibly ugly and breakable vases, and some sticks with which to whack them with. The pinatas will release a colorful rain of confetti and assorted candies that you'd find on Halloween! Only the good stuff. There's safety glasses set out, and blindfolds if you're feeling frisky. None of these items can be removed from this area behind Winter Dorm except the confetti and candy.
There's also a temporary ladder that's been drilled into the side of the building, letting people go up to the roof to drop things from high places if they find that satisfying. All messes will mysteriously disappear as soon as you turn your back on them so you don't need to worry about stepping on glass. Neat!
Go wild, chaos dorm. ]

ichiro does not completely destroy it all, so after a couple really good whacks, he holds out the stick to whoever's nearest. ] You want a go?
no subject
[... she grabs the stick.]
Yes. Yes I do.

w1 monday - the revenge of the food survey
there's now a schedule, made of fairly even boxes for the week from tuesday to sunday. monday is excluded because, well, viola left them food today.
... kon's name is still in all of the boxes, but he's put it in the top corner opposite the name of the day, so it's more that "this is a given that i will be in the kitchen" instead of the original "i will do all of the work." ]
You win, you win, I get it. I won't do all the cooking by myself.
Pick a day you want to eat or make something, put down that food, and we can call it a dorm bonding experience.
We can make a bunch of different dishes for dinner or something. Invite Viola.
[ for denji who can't mcfuckin read, he'll text so that he can have the TTS. ]
w1 wednesday
Yo. So, we're the dorm that's gotten somebody added, since Catra came, plus we've got people sleeping outside. I talked to Vi-chan about it. How would you guys feel about maybe pooling together some vouchers and getting an extra addition onto the dorm?
[ there's a pause as he reaches for his phone and reads it briefly, checking over details. ] "An additional smaller place outside that had a roof and walls"... Something more casual and more modern but something that lets us spread out more.
Vi-chan said it'd cost us ten vouchers total, but I got her down to eight, if we agreed to help decorate the place and set it up on the inside together. Sorta like a bonding experience. What do you guys think?
no subject
I'm kind of low because I had to buy a new phone. But I can probably offer like one?

THURSDAY CURFEW
she doesn't panic, this time? at least? there's no panic, but once she's in the dorm, she just. stares at the door for a long moment.]
Not gonna happen again my ass.
[... and then goes straight to her suite? and comes back out with like, an armful of alcohol.]
no subject
I’d really hoped...
[sighing! and glancing at her.]

[ ichiro's comin out of the game room when he hears the general commotion, and leans against the wall
actually i'm amending this to say he's got the first aid kit and is probably being the dorm mom now, fixing up whatever injuries kon's got. ]

[she seems to have left a piece of paper on top of the piano for people to peruse, should they wish. . .? otherwise, she is making herself scarce, because she is EXHAUSTED]
[but if you want her, you can find her collapsed on her/Adora's bed, curled up on her side (the side of her good arm), wrapped in bandages and with an arm in a sling]

post-trial saturday
he won't stay out in the main area for long unless you stop him, but it appears that he's brought some fresh baked pizza? he's left them out for anyone to consume - two of them, both cheese because he doesn't know what you guys like on your pizzas yet. but it's like five kinds of cheese, homemade, with a drizzle of hot honey, and delicious.
somebody disappeared for a while to cook, had leftovers that he decided to share with his dorm, and is now disappearing into his assigned suite, bye. ]
