SPRINGLE - WEEK 2

[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 (one looks as though it doesn't quite belong) 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.

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

[There is more alcohol on the table, with a note:

Be responsible.

It's getting colder, so don't dress too lightly.

There are also knitting and crocheting supplies and yarn on the table, with a how-to book. The supplies cannot leave the dorm.

Along with that, there are strings of fairy lights for people to decorate with as they please, though these also cannot leave the dorm.]

UPDATE

[dormheads]

[On Monday morning, everyone will wake up to find a piece of paper slipped into their lockers, with a printed message:

THE MOON IS A GIANT GOOSE EGG.

Please note in the Spring Dorm channel if your character would ICly find and read this note (or make a thread about it).

Later in the day, fairy lights have been added to the bedrooms and around the entrance to the third floor, in addition to the ones already present in the common areas.]

MONDAY

[Erm so, Molly is holding the note, flipping it over and back and forth but - ]

What does this mean exactly ... ?

[ Maybe. Someone read this to him. Maybe. He'll get it eventually on his own.

But also of note, he's sitting on the newly cleaned non-matching couch, holding a familiar friend to some of you. He's just chilling on the couch next to Molly. Be nice to Frumpkin, treasured Guest.]

[ambiography]

I'm assuming this is another prank, honestly.

[literally what does the note mean. lord.

anyway she's also taking a seat to pet this very good cat.]

[branches]

[Peering at the note.]

What is it with this place and geese? Also isn't that Caleb's cat?

[headmt]

You don't think it's going to crack this whole thing wide open?

[headmt]

I don't know, but I don't like it. Has an evil aura to it.

[Glancing over.]

Well I think he's his own independent self. But be nice, he's a guest.

[ambiography]

Well, you do know what they say, you have to crack a few moons to make... no, I don't think that follows through, actually, that's a pretty bad one.

[thank god for this cat which is absolutely an outlet for the touch compulsion business. he's going to get so much attention.]

[overlimit]

[rita's already crumpled her note up and looks like she's about to say something about it being stupid...

but oh! it's frumpkin! hello frumpkin. she will immediately brighten at the sight of him.]

Did we trade Goggle Boy for Frumpkin here? Better not be any take-backsies.

[headmt]

That is definitely a thing people say.

[It's not. Also, yeah, that is what Frumpkin is for. He's a professional. He purrs.]

[headmt]

Exactly, exactly. I think he's cleaner too. Definitely bathes more.

[stop taichi isn't here to defend himself.]

You know, he was the mole anyway. Watched all our toilet seats get stolen.

[ambiography]

There might be some reality where they do, sure.

[theoretically there's one for just about anything, it's fine.]

I don't know just what the point of this would be, exactly, but I'll take it over something like leaving actual eggs in the lockers.

[overlimit]

[frumpkin gets pets! pets for frumpkin!]

Yeah, screw that guy.

[feytality]

Does that mean a giant goose is going to hatch...?

[ shudders ]

[headmt]

[Frumpkin accepts his pets and purrs and purrs! A true friend. Not like any traitors that let anyone else into the dorm.]

Does that mean there's a bed free, though ... ?

[headmt]

Probably.

[feytality]

Maybe that's the final boss! Yanno, cause of the video game theme!

[ also i forgot to mention maya is spoiling frumpkin ]

[feytality]

I knew it....

[ whispers ]

[overlimit]

I guess it does.

[headmt]

Or a live goose. That'd be worse.

[This is just getting silly now.]

So is the conspiracy is that one moon is normal, the other is the egg? Or is the big one the egg ...

[branches]

Why wouldn't I be nice? Cats have an important job, getting rid of mice.

[Therefore they are to be respected.]

[modissty]

Did we all get the same note...?

[What kind of ominousass note???? STOP PUTTING WEIRD SHIT INTO THEIR LOCKERS, CULPRIT.

But hello sweet Frumpkin, thanks for filling the Taichi void.]

[overlimit]

[she stops petting the cat long enough to hold up her crumpled paper-ball, as if that helps.]

Some crap about the moon? Yeah.

[modissty]

[Looking between her crumpled ball and his own still very pristine sheet of paper... frowning......]

What was the point of this... Moreover, why do other people keep targeting us for harassment?

[THEY CAN'T EVEN BE BULLIED FOR HAVING THE FEWEST POINTS ANYMORE.]

[ercnerd]

The moon is a giant goose egg? Aren't goose eggs ovate?
