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.

How the hell are we bringing this back...

[selfestheim]

...We could just give them back.

[ghoststrums]

... Like... leave it at their door?

[illuminance]

A task I do not wish to take on, yet I know cannot be left to the ones who did this!

[ghoststrums]

I draw the line at touching toilet seats.

[ no more. ]

[selfestheim]

I can do it, I usually wear gloves anyway.

[illuminance]

... I will at least accompany you.

I don't want anyone to hassle you for what was not your crime.

[selfestheim]

It's fine, I'll just...explain what happened. Besides, I don't think anyone would get too mad at me.

[ like, him specifically, look at him, ]

[illuminance]

Even so. I would not feel right leaving you to do it by yourself.

[ghoststrums]

... You shouldn't have to. You weren't a part of this.

[ which is why he is bullying caiman into it ]

[selfestheim]

It's fine. Someone has to make it right.

[ghoststrums]

[ it's just TOILET SEATS HOPE IT'S NOT THAT DEEP ]

... Alright. Let's just leave them on their lawn.

[ this is an acceptable compromise ]

[selfestheim]

[ everything is deep to a final fantasy ]

...I could hand them over to him if you don't want to talk to him.

[ghoststrums]

We're talking just fine. [ a bit shortly? ] I got him to open the door, didn't I?

[ ... ]

Anyway, what we need to do is convince Futaba-chan to give hers up.

[selfestheim]

[ stiffens a little as yamato snaps at him ]

—Right. She probably wants to keep it as a trophy.

[ghoststrums]

[ ... he softens a little, rubbing a hand over his face, but doesn't apologize, because he is a big baby ]

Yeah. And we can't just... bring one out of two back.

[selfestheim]

. . .

This is so stupid.

[ghoststrums]

[ there's a tired huff ]

... Yeah. Let's just bring one for tonight and wrestle Futaba-chan later.

[selfestheim]

[ mood ]

Sometimes you need to make compromises...

[ghoststrums]

My compromise is she can keep it one night, I'm not having this in the dorm forever.

[selfestheim]

It'd be better than just...leaving them here, if you don't want to return them in person.

[ghoststrums]

[ why wouldn't he want to return them in person!!!!!! nothing happened!!!!!

he tsks and looks away ]

... Yeah, I guess.
