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.

Does it need lyrics or can I just hum it?

[ghoststrums]

Humming's fine.

[ it's really just. so bradley can play without moving. please. he has no investment. ]

[battling]

[ He hums the sax part of this song. ]

[ghoststrums]

[ he tilts his head as he listens and nods approvingly ]

Not bad.

[battling]

[Pleased!]

Ya think so?

[ghoststrums]

Yeah. I like the jazz vibes. A friend of mine used to help me out and add brass instruments to my band digitally.

[ this probably means nothing to bradley, which is why yamato adds: ]

Uh, since it's my turn, truth.

[battling]

[All of you moderns with you digital stuff. He looks puzzled during the 'explanation'.]

Think there's anythin' similar about the people who ended up in each dorm?

[ghoststrums]

Uh. Maybe? But...

[ stares at caiman ]

I can't say I can figure that one out for sure.

[battling]

[Follows his gaze... and the slightest nod.]

Yer best guess.

[ghoststrums]

A... sense... of duty...?

[ HE HAS NO GODDAMN CLUE WHATSOEVER ]

[battling]

Haaaa, maybe that's it.

[He wonders about it sometimes.]

Truth.

[ghoststrums]

[ well, this is cheating, but; ]

What happened to you guys today?

[battling]

This cheating? [ Good thing he doesn't care. ]

Got transported to some kinda ... neighborhood. Had our minds messed with t' believe we were always a family.

Then we fought a fuckin' meat monster. Managed to get away, but the thing exploded on us.

[ Which was why they were all covered in gross shit. ]

[ghoststrums]

What...?

[ what the actual fuck i'm sorry he's just ????? ]

[battling]

[ He just nods like he's explained everything. ]
