SPRINGLE - WEEK 1

[dormheads]

common room.

In the common room, the walls have been painted with photo-like pictures of forests and lakes, and spread across the ceiling is a depiction of the night sky. One wall is lined with bookcases, the books ranging from fiction to non-fiction as well used course textbooks. More bookcases have been used to section off one corner for a study area, with a desk and chair provided.

Elsewhere, there are a few couches and chairs, most seated around a coffee table and with throw blankets tossed over them if you need the extra warmth. On the table is a bowl of healthy and semi-healthy snacks, regularly stocked. (Nearby is a garbage can.)

This week, there is something else on the table.

specialty room.

Past an entrance in the common room, a mini coffeehouse has been set up, with express machines for those who just want their coffee now and slightly more advanced equipment for aficionados. It offers a variety of strength levels and flavors to accommodate tastes all across the spectrum, along with a teapot and packets of caffeinated and non-caffeinated tea for those who prefer a different drink. There's a sink if you want to use your own mug, but otherwise, disposable cups are provided for you to use.

Pasted on the wall by the coffee machines is a detailed but clear handwritten guide on how to use said machines, complete with illustrations. There are also cute little doodles of Spring Dorm residents using the machines and drinking coffee, though they look as though they were done by someone else.

Brushing Sakyou's shoulder off.]

. . . Look, I don't even know what to say about it at this point. I imagine it's just going to keep happening?

[modissty]

[can't believe molly is biting a bunch of hets and demon racists. IF ONLY HE'D AIMED FOR LATER IN THE GAME...

Sakyou will worryingly reach out to gently place the back of his hand against Molly's forehead, though.]

Is this the curse? Are you feeling unwell otherwise...?

[HOW DO THEY HELP.]

[headmt]

[Well he's kind of unusually warm ... ?]

Feel fine? Apart from the biting. That's weird.

[modissty]

[HE DOESN'T KNOW IF THIS IS NORMAL FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HUMAN.]

You aren't the only one who's been afflicted, for better or for worse... Does your temperature normally run this high, though? Should I get you a glass of water?

[headmt]

[It's definitely normal for a Tiefling with Fire Resistance, yeah.]

Think that's normal? Your temperature just runs low.

[Anyway his phone pings from where his earlier conversation started and he lifts it up to his ear to listen, and then talks into it again.

The Director says the library is cursed, but I'm pretty sure you're the one who's cursed, because now I'm cursed and cursing other people.

[modissty]

[HE THINKS THAT'S NORMAL. But if he says so... Sakyou will pull his hand back, but he's still looking at Molly with some concern.

And then more concern because HELLO. IT'S A SPREADABLE CURSE??]

—...Did someone else bite you first?

[THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BECOME WEREBEARS.]

[headmt]

[Well at least rest easy (?) that even if whoever bit Molly was patient zero, Molly is the fuckin Typhoid Mary of this curse]

Sure did.

[modissty]

[THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRAGIC.]

...Well. At least now we know what to be looking out for...

[He's going to spread the false knowledge that this is a bite inflicted curse. They're just all zombies.]

That's the only symptom?
