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.

...Which one was it?

[ nodding to kon's question too. he looks down at his phone for a second, mouth pulling into a frown, and then nods. ] Okay.
Did... was our repeat theory right? Or did you just do one...?
no subject
...You were right. What happened last week was me, too.
no subject
...Did you have to do it, man?
no subject
...I like to think I'm not the kind of person who would decide to do this for no reason.
no subject
[ ichiro rubs the back of his neck. ] I - I thought so too. Caleb told me a little about what you did, when you guys were... you know. [ he's trying not to be too descriptive, but. ] What you did for them, what you were giving up to do it, even if it wasn't real -- that was... that's the kind of thing that I hoped I would've run into, you know? Instead of the shit I got.
[ ... ]
...my opinion hasn't changed any - I don't think you're the kind of person that would kill somebody for shits and giggles. I'd take the kind of person you are over that, any day.
[ ichiro has to shake his head, after that, trying to come back to the present - trying not to focus too much on the emotional weight, even if it's heavy like a stone in his chest. ] Is there stuff you can't tell us, for some reason? That's kinda... that's been a theme here, you know?
no subject
[it's soft, after ichiro says all that, but it's achingly sincere. after a moment:]
I mean, there's stuff I'd rather not talk about.
no subject
...yeah. I get it. [ sometimes murdering people is traumatic. he's still pretty gentle with his questions, though, so. ] None of the stuff with Denji's chainsaw was you, was it? And I guess... did anything come out of it? I know that's a shitty question, too, but - I know some of the extra credit stuff going around has been pretty fucked up, like they're rewarding us for doing bad things.
no subject
I wouldn't have framed someone, especially not someone in our dorm, and I wouldn't have done something like this for vouchers.
no subject
he looks a little relieved. ] I didn't think so.
[ there's a pause here, though. ichiro taps his fingertips against his knee and looks at him again. ] ...Can I ask why, now?
no subject
You can ask, but...
no subject
[ no judgement here. that hasn't changed since the beginning of this conversation; ichiro's very steady, looking him in the eyes. after all his life kind of took a shit directly all over rupert and the rest of them so its not like he can judge..., ]
no subject
I think the why probably doesn't matter.
no subject
Why not?
no subject
I just don't think you should really worry about it. That's all.
no subject
he sounds genuinely so concerned, brows knitting together, looking for all the world like a kicked puppy. ]
...Dude, of course I'm gonna worry about it. I'm worried about you, you know? No one talked to you about it, or anything...? Even though it happened twice?
no subject
I'm not trying to worry you. I'm trying to do the opposite, actually! So...
no subject
It's kind of not working, dude. [ DISTRESSED ]
no subject
[he scrubs at his face, cutting off from whatever he was about to say.]
I know it's frustrating. And I'm not trying to make it worse.
