WINTER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 2
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.

whatever complicated feelings kon has, he's got them smashed down besides his anger and unease. ]
Yamato said he talked to her, and she said she did it because she thought Hiyori was annoying. [ that's for everybody - ichiro's already heard that from him. ] But she didn't seem to have any remorse for it, at the end, so I don't know how far the compulsion and control would go.
[ he rubs the pads of his fingers against the edge of his burns on his neck. ]
But with Crow's script, I think we're being made to act out "roles."

Caleb said when he talked to her he felt like she wasn't being truthful about why she did it. [sniff.] He said it seemed more like she was just trying to make it seem like she was the bad guy, so we wouldn't feel bad. And she was really insistent about all of us playing along. Being less confrontational.
... He felt sorry for her, and Caleb isn't the type of guy to just blindly forgive people, so. I'm inclined to think she's playing a role, especially after seeing the people at the expulsions be unable to stop themselves from killing each other.

... if she had no choice but to play along, and she was already accustomed to filling a role, then it does check out with everything else we have so far.
no subject
So, I guess we have to figure out what kind of roles they want us to play - and how many of us might just be extras.
[ that "am i next" from kon's story is sticking with him, in the worst possible way. ]

... they've got their school AU. [ hate that, how fucking hilarious in the worst way. ] And their good little students.
Whoever's running this shitshow obviously has a schedule in place, so if we really do wind up with two weeks in each season... [ :') eight weeks? of playing this game? ]
no subject
[ anger laces through ichiro's voice there, his tone dropping low. ] That means we need to figure out how to break it as soon as possible.
no subject
If - If it's anything like when I was controlled by the eidolons back home, then you can't tell it's happening. Whatever they want you to do, it feels like it was your idea, that it's something you want. It might as well have been your plan all along, not like what you guys felt last week.
no subject
... yeah. There's - I think there's something like that at home, too. I know somebody who might've been fucked up by it.
[ sasara had said it - he didn't know why he had the falling out that destroyed mad comic dialogue. it makes ichiro's stomach twist up in a knot to think about, about - about kuko, but he can't think about that right now. ] And I wonder if they can't talk about it after, either. [ esp re: kaoruko. ]
no subject
It could be that, or maybe it like it was with me. I didn't know about it until later, and... [ his grip tightens on the nuts and bolts he's been playing with. ] I couldn't get rid of it on my own, either. So they might need help, too.
no subject
Day two it was like that. It was all us, as far as we were concerned.
no subject
But then you were just yourselves again, right? I wonder if...
[ voice trailing off, he pulls out his phone to text ]

You talked to Vi about it, right? What did she have to say about the whole influency thing?
