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.

It's not because he's squishy. It's because he looked half dead, and someone ballsy enough could think he was easy to pick off, so they'd just - go after him.
And even if he did fend them off, we'd have to - fucking expel him anyway, if we caught him! So don't fucking --
[hm. she seems to catch herself in the middle of this, and then snaps her mouth shut.]

[ inhale. exhale. why does this always seem to happen... he can never find the right words. ]
...I'm worried about him, too, you know.
[ but. okay. he'll leave it at that for now. ]

I know. I know. It's not what you meant. Sorry. [she swallows hard.] I'm just freaking out. It's not you.
[short, heavy sigh.]

[ he shakes his head. though his voice is still quiet, there's some frustration weaving into it now. ]
I want to believe he'll be fine, so... that's what I'm going to do. Thinking too hard about what could be or we can't do - that's just asking for trouble. It won't help us or him. It's better to focus on something we can help, even if it's not what we really want to do. Or maybe that's just me.
[ he shrugs, awkward, and pushes himself up. ]
But... you probably don't want hear that right now, huh? So... I guess I'll leave you alone.

It's fine. You're not being unreasonable. [her eyes are still on the door.]
