FALL COMMON ROOM - WEEK 1

[dormheads]

common room.

The common room of the Fall Dorm has soft, dimmer lighting; plush carpet over wood; and several comfortable chairs and sectionals. A few big windows overlook the dormitory area of campus, but there is also a single, cozy bay window on one side.

A television and bluetooth surround-sound are here for Fall students who are more inclined to be tech savvy. In the cabinets under the entertainment stand are an assortment of board games, but the television does have a generic "free tv" app for shows and music.

Above the enormous center fireplace is a moody painting.

This week, there's something else.

specialty room.

Through a door on the first floor, there is an antigravity room. Stepping just a few feet through the doorway will lift everyone up into the air. The seating and most of the rest of the room remains somehow rightfully in place on the floor and will not move. Students, however, can grab pillows and blankets, cups or bowls, or other small items to bring into the air with them.

Please use this as an open post for members of Fall 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.

A Thing

[ghoststrums]

[ somehow everyone is here sometime on tuesday. i am also sorry that it has to be tuesday, but yes he's still in lux's clothes and she's still in his. and people are biting. none of this is relevant? absolutely none of it. it's just a thing.

Anyway, yamato looks serious! yes despite everything else. ]

About the extra credit assignments, I've learned a few things I think you should all know. First, doing them might help all of us out in the long run. The better a dorm "does" in this school, which includes things like extra credit, the more the dorm heads can have access to things like information for us, and other stuff. That's why, if you need assistance doing any of them, I'm willing to help.

Also-- you can share what your extra credit task is with one or two other people maximum privately, but depending on the task it might not count if they learn about it beforehand. Like... having to lie to someone wouldn't work if you warn them, but something that would be impossible without working with someone else is fine. It's a case by case basis, so be careful of the wording.

[ aka ask the mods if you're unsure in a dm. ]

That's all.

[illuminance]

[ hm, good to know. and yes, here is lux, wearing yamato's clothes. don't worry about it. ]

... I see. With that in mind, I hope everyone here will feel safe in coming to me for assistance with extra credit. Or one another.

Ah. And - as long as we're sharing information... This is somewhat off-topic, but I believe that accurate 'votes' in the trial will earn us more vouchers. So that is something to keep in mind.

[ghoststrums]

[ yamato's eye twitches a little at that ]

They could try to pretend this trial thing won't happen again a little harder.

[illuminance]

Oh - this isn't from discussing the matter with a dorm head. It is only a guess based on the rewards others have received and the information we exchanged...!

[ not that she thinks it won't happen again, but still. the clarity is probably good. ]

[selfestheim]

. . . Can we talk about rewards openly?

[illuminance]

There is a rule against discussing extra credit, but I don't believe there is one against discussing vouchers.

[battling]

Good work gettin' all this together. More reason to help each other out with these things. 'm also around if ya need more than one person t' do things with.

[ghoststrums]

[ he just nods!! ]

Thanks.

[headsplitter]

Thanks Yamato!

[ Doesn't question anything else happening here. ]

[ghoststrums]

[ ... he'll take it and tiredly pats caiman on the arm as thanks ]

[selfestheim]

. . .

Thanks for the info, guys.

[ghoststrums]

[ ... don't perceive him in his skirt ]

Mm. No problem.

[selfestheim]

[ too late he can perceive nothing else ]

Was all of this—[ gestures to the skirt, actually, now that it's relevant ]—related to your extra credit assignments?

[ghoststrums]

... Something like that.

[ he can't quite confirm one way or another, but ]

[selfestheim]

G...ood to know.

[ bruh ]

[txt]

[she claps.]

Excellent work, Ishida-kun!

[ghoststrums]

... Ah... I wouldn't call it work. I just asked the right questions, Ichinose-san.

[txt]

Come on, now. You took the time to share that information, didn't you?

[ghoststrums]

Well, yeah. We have to work together.

[txt]

Then accept my praise.

[lifeless]

[time to bump yamato up a position for her ghost hotel intern list,]

That's good to know. I'll offer my help in exchange too, if anyone still needs to complete theirs. [she pauses] But if you're going to borrow my clothes, then you have to return them just as they were. And don't launder them.

[that's for LUX and LALLI,]

[ghoststrums]

[ LEAVE HIM OUT OF THE GHOST HOTEL !!! ]

... That's probably a good rule, yes.

[ their laundry machines.......... ]

[lifeless]

[THEIR LAUNDRY MACHINES!!!]

Speaking of extra credit... Have you done any of the tasks yet, Yamato?

[would you uh smooch your clone, yamato, tell manwol all about it]

[ghoststrums]

... Once, but I don't mind doing it again.

[ despite being staunchly hateful of The Fuckening ]

[lifeless]

[WHY IS HE HATEFUL]

Let's do it together then. [hm, all of these answers are probably traumatizing,


she thinks for a moment, then]

I can give you the power to see ghosts right now.
