WINTER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 2

[dormheads]

common room.

Similar to the rest of the architecture, the common room in the Winter Dorm is almost more reminiscent of a tea room or parlor that you would find in a manor. A chandelier hangs above, everything in the room glistening in the light that is both welcoming and just a tinge cold. Seating is available for a number of people to gather, adjusting each week to seemingly accommodate a little bit over the number of people assigned to the dorm. A piano doesn't sit too far, and sometimes when the room isn't too full, it's almost like a beautiful classical melody will begin to play itself to make up for the empty space.

Or... is that a showtune...?

Who can say?

This week, your requested revisions seem to be done. Exciting! Welcome to Kainé's Housé.

specialty room.

However on the first floor, there's an oddity amidst the serene architecture. One of the rooms opens to a Gaming Lounge, complete with screens that stretch across the entirety of one wall length-wise. Incredible comfortable chairs and couches sit opposite the screen, comfortable enough to steal you away from the outside world for hours upon hours. A series of gaming systems are hooked up to the screens, and a small tower of handhelds sit on a bookcase nearby. Every game you can think of is downloaded and programmed onto each device, though every time you start one up it seems to immediately pull up an otome game or farming simulator. The lighting system changes between a rainbow of colors, and one wall is lined with snacks that are a little less decadent but still just as delicious. The room will adjust based on the needs of the game you play, a wall spinning out to roll out DDR dance pads, virtual reality goggles, or whatever you could need for the ultimate gaming experience.

No, it isn't incredibly reminiscent of Dude Perfect's Game Time Lounge. You're imagining it. (But really, click the link for a better idea of what the room looks like.)

[ Surprise! Dimitri is here. Probably to coincidentally listen in on all this plot talk, but also because he has a very serious proposition for the rest of the dorm. ]

I need to fulfill my task for the week. So I plan to get retribution for spring dorm by attacking fall dorm. [ pranking. getting revenge is kind of a nice thing to do for someone, right? ] If summer dorm stands in my way, I will [ prank ] destroy them as well.

[ This is a public service announcement, he's not actually expecting help... just doesn't want people causing problems for him. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

What? Hey! We were already planning to attack them, we've got dibs!

[steelo]

Leo, we're all in the same dorm.

[repress]

Do not stand in the way of my plans, and it won't be a problem.

[ or they could work together? but? he is not going to suggest that. ]

[azuta]

[somewhere on the third floor someone bursts into a fit of barely restrained giggles]

[repress]

[ ):< ]

[sawboned]

Yeah, things have been too buddy-buddy around here! We gotta war it up!

[repress]

[ he frowns a little. ]

For once, we are of the same mind. I do not mind peace, but we cannot continue to be bystanders.

[disreguarded]

[this is hysterical]

Okay, but like, we can make this a group project.

[repress]

[ he just makes a noise that is probably no but is vague enough to be yes. ]

[heartlands]

[he's trying so hard not to laugh i'm sorry]

[repress]

[ rupert excuse you? this is very serious? ]

The others make a good point. They did push you off a roof.

[ yet another reason to get vengeance. ]

[refate]

[ JOKING ASIDE kon does not hesitate: ]

They pushed Rupert off the library roof. I'm in.

[repress]

Yet another example of their dastardly nature...

[steelo]

[ +1!!!!!! ]

[heartlands]

I think that was less of a they thing and more of a him thing...?

[superjock]

[... she blinks.]

But not like... a real attack, right?

[refate]

[ angling to lean sideways and whisper: ]

If we work together, we can keep him from actually attacking people.

[repress]

[ does he mean it literally... who can say... ]

It will not be a 'real' attack until they escalate. [ in which case. yes. ]

[overshaded]

[ she just tilts her head in interest? very cutely, if i, ara, may say so.

war?

retribution?

pranks? she doesn't really know pranks but teach her--

it's not something she ever got to do, but she's here to cause chaos. ]

[superjock]

[Kaine!!!]

You'll come with us, right? Beau said we should make a group project out of it and I think that sounds fun.

[Be part of the Group!!]

[supercatty]

Be nice to Summer.
