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.

... please rest and recover, and let people look after you.
I'm going to find and end whatever it was that hurt you.

[she will leave her hand on the wingie, even if she can't grip it back b/c she is too weak]
It was a lot of different things. Clowns, some people flying an airship, a disembodied voice, some students-- [. . . except she pauses there and shakes her head before moving on]
At the end though, we got somethin weird.

she listens for a little bit before she moves to the end - ]
We needn't speak on the difficult matters if it's too soon.
But what was the something weird?
no subject
I think we got a redacted copy of your school application.
[OH. . .]
no subject
... mine...?
When you were gone...? Why would that be...
no subject
We also got Chad's application, and it kind of sounds like that guy-- Kon?-- got Luke and Sally's.
no subject
[she summarizes, sounding thoughtful as she recounts the information]
But - in such dangerous situations? That doesn't make sense.
no subject
[a pause]
Do you know a guy in a gray hood?
no subject
no subject
Both?
no subject
But Luke chooses some subdued clothing and the occasional hood to wear...? It is getting cold, after all.
no subject
That was the guy who gave us your redacted applications. We didn't see him until the very end.
no subject
I think he just prefers emo fashion.

"Emo" fashion?
