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.)

[sprawled on the couch:]

Great, cool, let's do some shit with post-it notes. I love those little fucks.

[steelo]

Hey, knock out two birds with one stone, get an A in that post it note class while we're at it. What's more passive aggressive than papering the dorm in post it notes?

[disreguarded]

[she GRINS.]

Yeah - yeah, we gotta figure out how to do it when nobody is looking, because it'll take a while. Which dorm? I've got access to Spring and Fall. Maybe we can hide messages around the room.

[steelo]

[ thinking ] Maybe during a class? We could go in shifts. Or like - oh, there's that Winter Formal thing. Wonder if attendance is mandatory.

[disreguarded]

[after the chicken arms thing she immediately slaps his arm]

Release the fucking armed chickens during the Winter Formal thing!

[steelo]

[ fucking brilliant ]

Hell yeah. We just gotta get somebody to let us in somehow - then maybe we can round em up with the herding dog. If we can get one person in there to let anyone else in, we'll be golden.

[azuta]

[this is so funny]

Sure.

[it's not her event she doesn't care if there's chickens there]

[repress]

[ that's a pretty good mix of harmless and deeply irritating... ]

...What do you have in mind.

[disreguarded]

Cover a whole suite with post-its? Cover the whole outside of the dorm with post its? The latter would be easiest.

[repress]

[ ...that doesn't sound so bad. ]

Very well. It is not so difficult to scale the buildings here.

[ so, yeah. ]

[refate]

We should cover our dorm in the post-it notes.

[disreguarded]

Oh, shit. Yeah, that's a good idea, like - throw everybody off the scent, right?

[refate]

Just imagine - [ he swoons towards her ] - our dorm! We've been attacked, who could do such a thing?

[disreguarded]

[she's cracking up, like - catching his swoon and putting her hand to her forehead]

Who would do this! Our poor, sweet, innocent dorm!

[refate]

[ his hand goes from his own forehead to his chest, like he's clutching pearls, trusting her to keep him from falling on his busted back. ]

Oh, fall's suffered an attack, too? How could this happen? What monster would target our domiciles! [ aaaaand scene, just hanging out. ] Let's steal post-it notes from Hunters' class.

[steelo]

Make sure you leave him a sticky note about it.

[refate]

[ points at him in a yes, definitely - give him his passing grade of absolute passaggro attacks. ]

[disreguarded]

[she absolutely will keep him from falling]

Okay - okay, so we're doing - we should schedule this shit and figure out who is doing what. Are we post-iting our own dorm and doing the cups trick on the same night?

[commandertoolbelt]

I still say we had dibs so we get to go first!

[disreguarded]

Yeah, me, you and Kon can special taskforce our thing. We gotta throw the scent off of us.

[refate]

[ he spins his finger in the air as he talks - points it at ichiro with his comment for a beat - thinking aloud through it. ]

I think that could benefit us, if we want to give it a shot. Split our forces into those who want to waterlog the fall dorm and to those who'll be able to pelt our dorm with post-its.

[steelo]

I've got that post it class today, so I can work on our dorm. [ when kon points at him! he gives a fistpump back. ]

I've tagged a wall or two. I can definitely handle post its.

[repress]

[ this is way too much subterfuge for him, so he's leaving it to beau. ]

If the others want to do this... 'cups trick,' I will put the post its on our dorm. Though it seems a waste of time.

[ don't listen to him, he's just bad at being sneaky. ]

[superjock]

[just watching this happen and whispering in awe:]

That's dastardly.

[refate]

[ beau is still holding him so he just fuckin winks like the shitlord he is. ]
