FALL COMMON ROOM - WEEK 3

[dormheads]

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.

[ hey so. this totally beats trying to text him in between the lake she's cried over the past 24 hours so uuuuuuuh congrats on your gremlin growth, watch the snot. ]

[HE'S DROWNING.

He has to sort of grab her so he doesn't teeter over backward onto the floor.]

Futaba...?

[alitaba]

[ wailing noises. the blubbering against him vaguely sounds like 'I can't take it anymore, I'm at my limit' ]

[darksubverted]

[...

Gently, he rests his hands on her back. It's a hug, but like a stupid tsundere awkward hug.]

It's going to be okay. You're not alone. We're here with you.

[alitaba]

[ he's doing his best and i'm proud. but at least futaba will take the hug to hide her face to pull herself together ]

I can't lose everyone- I can't.

[darksubverted]

[This is fine. He's terrible at the comfort thing, but he will let her.]

You won't. You don't ever lose the people who are most important to you. They're always with you, inside your heart.

You just have to open it and listen.

[ thanks riku ur a pal. but that gets her to pause, thinking of mom. :(]

[ she pulls away, with a slight smirk ]
