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.

he doesn't say anything, just presses their sides together and reaches to take one of her hands, same as he did the first curfew. ]

so he just sits there, cleaning her up. and when he finishes with the one hand, he takes it and holds it for a minute, instead of moving on right away. ]

Something used my face to hurt him. [she says quietly.]

[ there's nothing he can say to reassure her. "it wasn't real, it wasn't you, he knows that." it might be logically true, but the damage is done, and he knows it. he still can't look at people directly without taking breaks. ]

[... but.] It's not about me. He's alive, for right now. And that's about all I can hope for. Luke couldn't promise me nobody would go after him while he's weak, so I just gotta... sit here. And wait.
no subject
There's nothing worse than sitting here and feeling like we can't do shit. That we can't talk to other people... that we have no means of communication while we're all so separated... [ waiting. waiting is miserable. ] I'll go with you the moment those doors open, Beau.

and this is the first thing that gets him to react - his head whips up, moving from the sad, worried puppy look to surprise to - something close to horror. ]
