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.)

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

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.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ he laughs and hums the oceans eleven theme ]

[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.

[refate]

[ yeah!!! ]

I can grab some while I'm in, too, so that we have plenty. Probably won't notice me stuffing the post-it pads into my hoodie if I do it in the right sleeve.

[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. ]

[disreguarded]

[nodding]

If you have time you can post it other shit too. I keep thinking about trying to scale other dorms to draw dicks on the walls, somehow.

[refate]

[ whispering as he gets her to right him: ] Post-it dicks.

[disreguarded]

[sets him down]

Post-it dicks.

[refate]

[ eventually he'll get beau to right him so that his back doesn't hate him later, dusting himself off casually from his theatrics. ]

Honestly, you proposed it. We might've been planning it, but you rallied the troops, so I wouldn't mind if you want to join us in doing the "cups trick" at the fall dorm. Up to you.

[repress]

...No. You ought to manage that yourselves. We can divide and conquer.

[ since kaine is graciously ('graciously') offering to go with him. ]

[overshaded]

[ yeah, guess who is also bad at being sneaky. nier the game is not a roguelike. ]

I can attack our dorm, too, and make sure he doesn't waste time.

[ She gestures at Dimitri. ]

[repress]

[ he is right here? hello? ]

[overshaded]

[ Yeah. Heh.

This is what you get for being labeled Nier's clone (derogatory). ]

[steelo]

Awright. Team post it note strike squad. You, me, Dimitri. We got this.

[ between us we will make beautiful post it note dicks ] And anybody else who wants to get involved.

[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. ]
