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 okay. [ he says quietly, voice a little rough. ]

If - whatever people need to know to help. You're the one who had to go through it, if you don't wanna talk about it, I - whatever you need.

[ the corner of his mouth lifts up, just briefly, and he reaches up to cover his hand with his, giving it a little squeeze, because it is in fact touch week. ]

...'s okay, man.

[ haha

he just makes a noise and gets up, clapping rupert on the shoulder, and leaves the common room, going back for one of the bedrooms.

listening close enough, if things are quiet enough, he might hear a faint, angry noise and the sound of a fist slamming into something else in the room. ]

[he’s giving him a clearly worried look as he goes, but - kaine told him not to move and he lowkey fears her so he’s not going to follow.

he’ll remember this later though!!]

[ kon watches ichiro go - doesn't stop him, because this place is playing with them - but he does reach out and squeeze rupert's shoulder tight, brushing up at his side.

the tension in him indicates just how unhappy that makes him.

[his entire body is basically a large bruise right now, so depending on just how tight the contact is, he might tense up slightly - but he looks grateful for the show of solidarity, too.]
