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.

[ don't mind me, but leo has to chime in at this, though he's hesitant and uncharacteristically quiet. ]

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.

[ it's tactile week, so - ichiro reaches over and puts his hand on leo's shoulder, giving it a squeeze. ]

... 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. ]

[ he'd pull away, but it's tactile week so you can big brother him for now i guess :/ ]

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.

[ a moment passes where kon is - just not there. (beau will feel his grip tighten, at her back, but he doesn't tense otherwise.) but he closes his eyes, takes a breath, and then opens again, staring off at some random point. ]

Day two it was like that. It was all us, as far as we were concerned.

[ he doesn't look at kon, but leo nods. he gets it. ]

But then you were just yourselves again, right? I wonder if...

[ voice trailing off, he pulls out his phone to text ]

Yeah. Woke back up on the third day returned to normal. I don't know if it was through our own power or if something interfered, to be honest - I wouldn't be shocked if the thing kept us in a lotus eater scenario if it had the chance.

[ he's quiet for a moment longer, and then - ]

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