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.

... Yeah, in a minute. Catra, what were you talking about? About winning and prizes and everything? What about our plan?
no subject
I know, I know. It's just-- school's kind of important, isn't it?
[IS IT??]
no subject
[WHAT...]
Catra you've never cared about school anything since we got here.
no subject
Yeah. So? I changed my mind. It's not like school is super important for the real world or anything. But it's not just about classes and doing homework or whatever.
It's about the experience, right?

[SHE CLUTCHES CATRA'S SHOULDERS SUDDENLY.]
What did they do to you?
no subject
Nothing! Quit freaking out on me, it's weird.
[bumps her shoulder against Adora's and pulls up a li'l grin, trying to turn the mood light again]
Come on, throw your bowl. I want to see if I can beat you this time.
[1/4]
But she also doesn't know what to do about it!!
Catra doesn't even seem to notice how weird she's being!!!!]
no subject
HRRRGHHHHH
WHAT DOES SHE DOOOO]
no subject
UGHHHHH
SHE CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING]
[4/4]
She is lucky nobody is out and walking by.
... She'll just have to deal with this. For now. But she's not giving up on getting Catra back to her normal, authority-and-school-hating-self.]
no subject
See? Doesn't it feel great to just let go like that?
no subject
crash!!!
This is where she's putting all of her frustration and anger that someone did something to Catra.]
no subject
Hey, for old time's sake, do you want to see who can throw it the furthest?
[at least she still remembers their old lives, right?]
no subject
Yeah.
You're on. But you know I'm gonna win.
[Bring it, Catra!!
It doesn't fix her worries, but..... she wants to lose herself in the nostalgia for a little while anyway]
no subject
[time to hop to her feet and wind up for a SUPER AWESOME THROW. though in the end, Adora has always been just slightly better than her, so. . .]
[she'll probably lose]
no subject
Usually she'd do a better throw, but she's distracted right now for obvious reasons.
So instead...
She falls a bit short of Catra this time.]
