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.)

Seriously! What the hell was that even about!

[repress]

Yet another example of their dastardly nature...

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

[steelo]

Being a bystander's a crime, in my opinion. [ the bunch of ENABLERS who let that HAPPEN ]

[heartlands]

It's kind of hard to be a bystander if you aren't there, but - as long as whatever we do is harmless, sure!

[refate]

Fair - and I like Lalli. But I like a lot of people in the fall dorm.

But it's some ideally harmless fun with a "just because spite" - [ kon how are you doing that emphasis with your mouth ] - to keep us from losing our minds.

[chevaliered]

"Him"?

[heartlands]

Yes...?

[chevaliered]

Him who?

[ who pushed you off a roof, rupert? ]

[heartlands]

Oh - it's not a secret or anything. Lalli. But he apologized and everything, so...

[chevaliered]

[ sighs. ]

Why?

[heartlands]

Oh, I guess I never mentioned the reason, huh. Uh, the first day I got here I saw him climbing up the wall of one of the buildings, so I told him it looked really cool and asked if he could show me how? And then on Thursday he did, but as soon as we got to the top he, uh, shoved me off and then said I needed to learn how to fall right...

[chevaliered]

[ just this face ]

[heartlands]

It’s fine now! He apologized, I’m over it, we don’t have to make it a big thing.

[chevaliered]

... if you say so.

[heartlands]

...Thanks, though. For the concern.
