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.

[ leo huffs a little laugh, but there's no humor in it, and his eyes stay deliberately focused on anything but kon. in fact, he flops into a seat and pulls out some nuts and bolts to fiddle with, keeping his hands busy. ]
Yeah. That would make sense, wouldn't it? [ haha. great. ] Makes the video game theory sound more likely, honestly. And if you guys were controlled and made to kill like that, it tracks that Kaoruko and whoever killed Lan Wangji probably are, too.

Video game, shitty TV drama, whatever media this shithole wants us to play out. [ mm, displeasure. ] And here we are, having to figure it all out.

...But I don't have the vouchers for it, and even if I did, we'd still have to know where to look. And we can't just - sit around and watch the cycle keep repeating.

My ability to extract memories would cost 6 vouchers with her knocking the price down for a once-a-week use. My own ability to overwrite would probably be even more limited, and she said I could maybe haggle it down from 8. If I had it, though, maybe - I don't know. Maybe we could do something.

Limited use is better than nothing, though. If there's even a chance it could give us a leg up, I want to take it. Especially if it's like the eidolons.
