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.)

[ softly: ] Oh my god you're broken again.

Who hates you that this keeps happening?

[supercatty]

Who, indeed?

[sulk sulk SULK]

Bark growl woof.

[refate]

This is so weird.

At least you didn't wind up on another field trip.

[supercatty]

Ugh, yeah, no kidding. One of those was more than enough for me.

[though she is a bit stiff as she says that, because. . . the others. . . :(]

[ he keeps looking at rupert and dimitri while they're talking here - beau, too - with as much obvious unhappiness. ]

... one was too much, period. [ it shouldn't have happened. ]

[supercatty]

[her ears droop, wagging tail stilling at her feet]

Yeah. I had a bad feeling it'd happen again.

Sucks that I was right.

[a pause]

Woof woof.

[WHY]

[refate]

This place and its patterns... [ he laid it out to someone else, and he still hates it! ]

Sucks that any of us were right in our worries.

[supercatty]

. . . being locked up one night a week, someone being dead the next day, a trial after that, and then an expulsion after that.

[haha! yeah. patterns!]

Sometimes things being predictable is a good thing. But this time, it sucks.
