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.

I hate not knowing things. [ quietly ] I don't understand what connection that place had to this one. What the point of it was. Why any of it happened.
[ but he shakes his head, staring down at the bread. ]
... Denji said I was gone for the day, that the kitchen didn't smell as good. I remember making breakfast, before the kitchen staff rolled in, and then everything after that was just. That place.

he pats a not burned spot on kon's shoulder, tending to his neck. just briefly, his eyes flick over to viola from where he's sitting, but he just looks concerned, not angry or anything. ] ... This place's really got no answers for anybody, huh. On anything.
It's weird it was two groups, too. I wanna hear whatever Catra's group got up to - there's gotta be some kind of connection, or something, right...?

[ bethesda clipping, in real life! the bread is left to his bum hand, and he reaches back to make sure that his hair is held out of the way. his scalp is irritated, and his hair damaged, but they can't do much about it. ]
Two groups of four, sent to different places and experiences. But just because they feel unrelated at a glance doesn't mean there's not some kind of connection.
no subject
anyway. he winces a little sympathetically, and taps his head a good distance away from the damage. ] Ever think about getting an undercut? Haha.
[ poor dude. he's gonna take care of these spots, too. ]
But yeah. I feel you. You guys said you got papers, too, right? And they were connected, so... that's somethin'.
no subject
anyway. the tap doesn't bother anything, so he just tilts his head a little to get a look out of the corner of his eye. ] I had shorter hair before dealing with VR shit. Maybe I'll go back to that while we're stuck here - don't think I'll bleach it again, though.
[ half a joke ]
Records for the dorm heads. Catra said there was a fourth, so I'm thinking about bringing it up and seeing if we can't get some copies of all of them. That way every dorm has something. We might be in a "competition," or whatever the fuck it is, but I'm not about to let that get us killed.

[ he nods, and there's a solidarity to it, a determination to his words. ichiro feels the same, intensely protective of this little dorm, as he would be as protective as ikebukuro. especially after last weekend - especially considering they're locked in right now. ]
And there's a second map, too. We can put those together, try and see what we can figure out. Faster we do that, the better, I think.
