dormheads | FALL COMMON ROOM

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.

[ is manwol in their suite? is she in the common room? who knows but she's in the dorm somewhere alive. a teenage girl died for this.

yamato figures no one really wants to talk about the dead elephant in the room, so he's settling in the common room. on their stolen couch. he brought pizza again because... well... they got pizza on their sad party yesterday. he is trying. either way he is sitting in the common room if anyone wants to hang around and he is helping the depression mood with his harmonica.

yay parties. ]

[Lalli will be picking the pineapple off of the slices before eating them, thanks.]

[ why is there always pineapple pizza in the first place ]

[Because the gods hate us.

...Lalli is munching on his pizza while he watches Yamato play. He doesn't really like the sound of the harmonica but he's tolerating it today.]

[ suffer, he can't afford his bass ]

[Okay, but he is also bringing in some chips, and soda, leaving them on the table for anybody to grab.

He's taking a sprite and settling on one of their other couches.]

[ thanks for the snacks bradley he'll acknowledge that with a nod

and keep playing ]

[He's content enough to just sit here and listen to Yamato play.]

[ wow day two of us all sitting around being sad fucks. but at least manwol is here for both days? lux is forcing herself to eat, even though she has no appetite. ]

... At least there is some light in this darkness...

[ she's practically saying it out of habit. it doesn't feel right to look at a bright side after what's happened to lila. but she is glad that manwol is still with them. so. that's something. ]

[ JUST BECAUSE WE ARE IN A KINGDOM HEARTS DORM but he stops playing long enough to nod at her ]

... Always is.

[ unfortunately lux was already like this. her metaphor database is 90% light and 10% darkness. nothing else. ]

Mm. Always is.

[ this party's mood sucks. ]

[ stops playing for this ig, blinking ]

Mmhmm. This, and I'm in a band, too. Bassist and vocalist.

Wait, seriously? So you can sing and all that too?

[The mood in here is bad. The mood in Caleb is bad. But he'll just - clear his throat and awkwardly say -]

We are, uhm, happy that you are still with us here, Manwol. [A little more quietly.] You deserve to be here. Whatever else happened today is - it doesn't change that.

[ the mood in all of them is bad but yamato will stop playing his depressing song and nod after caleb speaks ]

...Yeah. Caleb's right.

[looks at riku

this is the depression dorm it's fine

but ichinose nods along. hear, hear!]

Mhmm. What he said.

[For all the terrible shit that happened today, at least there's that.]

[the energy in here is so depressing but manwol thinks this is the only valid mood to have. there's a Bad mood, but also like -- a similar awkward vibe?? from manwol?? She's sitting here, but she also avoids everyone's eyes. sometimes, you make a Choice, and now you have to look at those Choices.

Caleb's words hurt, and the others agreeing hurt so much more. ]

...I made a choice and I was confident that I could deal with the consequences. [...] I won't make light of Lila's death by running away now.

[even though she probably spent like a good amount of outside and in the room and not meeting anyone's gazes. she's here now. as much as bonds frighten her, she owes that much to the people she's met here.]

[Listen, he's awkward, he's an awkward guy, but he's trying.]

I only mean that it wasn't your fault. She was killed by being placed in that situation.

It wasn't you. It's this place, and the people who killed Lan Wangji.

[The mood's terrible! The vibes today are awkward, even if he does appreciate Manwol not dying to a car or whatever else was happening on that "stage".

He stays quiet, but he brushes his shoulder against hers.

They got each other, don't they?]

[She is not reaching for any of the pizza or, like, anything. But she hums along to the song for a bit.]

You really know your way around that harmonica, Ishida-kun.

[ he shrugs a shoulder, like it's nbd ]

Yeah. I've been playing it pretty much my whole life.

Do you take requests?
