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.

[Denji wanders downstairs into the common room, having stubbornly slept through the fire alarm and investigations as usual]

Hey, anyone see my chainsaw? If ya wanted to borrow it you gotta, like, ask first.

Dude, what the fuck.

[ DENJI ] Your chainsaw's gone cause someone found it at a crime scene, man, please tell me you slept through the whole night.

Yeah, like a rock, 'til those annoying alarms.

Put it next to my bed before sleepin', like always.

...you guys got weapons nearby when you go to bed, right?
superjock: (it's all about the two M's)

[personal profile] superjock 2021-06-26 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

I mean, yeah, normally, just not right now--which is besides the point.

You're sure? You're super duper sure?

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-06-26 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I even— [he stops, looks around and leans in]

I, y'know, said goodnight to it or whatever.
superjock: (It isn't like I came down from)

[personal profile] superjock 2021-06-26 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[... she fights so hard to keep a straight face.]

I seeeee... okay, well, that's pretty compelling.

So someone must've taken it after we were all asleep.

[sees her face and scowls, but she doesn't laugh]

Yeah, makes sense.

[he blinks, takes out his phone, and starts speech-to-texting Taichi]

Taichi. Hey Taichi, what happened to my chainsaw can you bring it to Winter? Thanks, dude.

[DENJI. . .]

Uh, he can't just bring it back, you know. It's evidence for tomorrow.

Oh, well I guess I have a day off patrollin', then!
supercatty: (pic#14674634)

[personal profile] supercatty 2021-06-26 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Patrolling for what?
sawboned: (pic#14944835)

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-06-26 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[he shrugs] Just patrollin'. This whole place is smaller than my normal routes, so I go around and keep an eye out in case anything happens or I spot whatever I need to fight here.

Gives me somethin' to do when I'm bored, even if I'm off the clock right now.

[personal profile] supercatty 2021-06-26 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ah. okay. that she gets, because she has been doing something similar]

What, are you thinking you'll spot a killer in the act or something?
sawboned: (Default)

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-06-26 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Or a Devil or whatever, yeah. Or maybe somethin' suspicious.

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-06-26 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Just next to the bed. In arm's reach for emergencies, ya know?

[ ... ]

Did you tell someone where you kept it?
sawboned: (Default)

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-06-26 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[he shrugs] Probably? It wasn't like, a secret, or whatever.

[ he just

reaches and claps him on the shoulder
]

Someone used it late last night, early this morning. So we're just trying to figure out who.
sawboned: (pic#14944829)

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-06-26 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'd like to know, too.

It's rude to just take stuff that doesn't belong to you.
