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.

Ah - as good as one can be...
[but she will try to roll back to her feet. it won't work but she'll try]
Is everything truly locked again?

Seems like it, yeah. You didn't hurt yourself falling down the fucking stairs, did you? [...] At least you didn't pass out this time?
no subject
[though she does sigh]
I wish in a bit of a rush once I realized I couldn't open my window any longer... At the very least we should have supplies in the dorm to take care of everyone who came in injured - what on earth is going on today...

[a huff - though there is a thread of tense anger in her voice]
That is to say... no. This is out of the norm even for a school. I don't know what happened either.

This fucking sucks, Viola. All of this. Can you get ahold of the other Dorm Heads at all or...

I just tried again and - I can't reach them. Our groupchat is malfunctioning.
[ . . . her voice grows softer]
I'm sorry, Beauregard. It's not enough - but I truly am. Maybe I can... Ugh, I'll look for something.
[she moves to waddle toward the front door]

Don't apologize. This isn't - your fault, so just. If you can't fix it, don't freak out about it. You're as trapped as we are.
no subject
... you're very kind to be reassuring me in a situation like this.
But I want to look after you all so badly, and I am not managing it well enough. So allow me to say sorry for that, at least.
I won't freak out - but I don't like to be idle. I can't drink with all of you like this, so I can at least try to see if I can identify the malfunction in my own ridiculous dorm.
