dormheads | FALL COMMON ROOM

common room.

The common room of the Fall Dorm has soft, dimmer lighting; plush carpet over wood; and several comfortable chairs and sectionals. A few big windows overlook the dormitory area of campus, but there is also a single, cozy bay window on one side.

A television and bluetooth surround-sound are here for Fall students who are more inclined to be tech savvy. In the cabinets under the entertainment stand are an assortment of board games, but the television does have a generic "free tv" app for shows and music.

Above the enormous center fireplace is a moody painting.

This week, there's something else.

specialty room.

Through a door on the first floor, there is an antigravity room. Stepping just a few feet through the doorway will lift everyone up into the air. The seating and most of the rest of the room remains somehow rightfully in place on the floor and will not move. Students, however, can grab pillows and blankets, cups or bowls, or other small items to bring into the air with them.

Please use this as an open post for members of Fall 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.

[ stop he doesn't know what to do with people fussing over him and now he's surrounded by pillows ]

... We're fine. [ says the one-eyed wonder, but what he means is; ] We survived.

You aren't fine. [It comes out so quick; he doesn't mean to snap. He's just--worried!] I know how bad the other one was the last time this happened.

[He sighs.]

I'm glad... you're all here.

... Mm. [ he glances a little at taichi who was the ONLY ONE out on his OWN TRIP, and also? lalli? for some reason? but then he turns back to luke to nod ] We made it out.

[ and because this was the bar set last week: ]

No limb loss.

[ LOOKS DIRECTLY AT HIS FACE ]

... It's technically still there.

[ he sounds like he is going to be sick even saying that and he kind of burrows into the pillow luke brought him never mind ]

You know that's not the point...

[ ...but he'll drop it once it really sinks in that maybe yamato doesn't want to think about it. become one with pillow. ]

... Sorry.

[ he is becoming one with it thanks ]

[Sort of stares at him like Are you kidding me?]

Stop. Don't act like what happened to you is any better. You--

[He fists both hands tightly for a second, looking away. Sighs.]

You scared me.

[ winces, a little. listen! if he doesn't acknowledge the eye thing it ISN'T real ]

... Sorry. [ for scaring him. ] It's... it's healed now.

[ it's not bleeding anymore but healed is a big word. but he has no clue what to say to make this better oops ]

[IT'S VERY REAL.

He ends up sighing because he knows he's being too crazy. They're all tired, and hurt, and--mentally? Yeah. So why's he getting so upset.]

Sorry.

Don't... [ he kind of makes a noise ] I'd be the same way.

[ he is literally the same way right now? taichi is right there as everyone's proof? but: ]

I'm just. We're alive. We're healed. We'll be alright.

[ a bit like he is convincing himself as much as luke, it's fine ]

I know, I...

[He just fists his hands by his sides. This is so annoying to watch happen!]

I know.

[ ... similar. ]

... I'll tell you about it later, if you want.

[...]

Later then.

Okay.

[ ... ]

Are you sleeping down here too?

[ like caiman didn't bring his mattress down. ]

[Caiman brought the whole mattress down, but he absolutely will not take it over any of the injured actually.]

....I am, yeah.

[ stop the injured are sharing couches?? it's fine??? ]

... Good.

[ it's quiet but like, sorry, yamato's secretly needy when injured and everyone sleeping down here actually helps ]

[Well!! He has no damn clue where all everyone is injured necessarily,

so he hesitantly reaches out to touch Yamato's shoulder briefly and lightly, reassuring, rather than squeeze it with a hand.]
