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.

[Tch. Shut up.]

It was a dire wolf, so it was bigger than a regular one.

[Like that... makes it better when it just makes him sound more stupid and edgy.]

[ghoststrums]

Garurumon's still bigger, I bet. [ of course he is but now he's just being a shithead ] So why'd you want to become a "dire wolf"?

[darksubverted]

I'll let you believe that.

[He won't even give Yamato an inch.]

He explained how the spell worked when he was asking for a price. I... just thought it'd be interesting to try being one for a while. He said a dire wolf was bigger, so...

I chose that option.

[Don't judge him.]

[ghoststrums]

So...

[ ........ ]

It's because you think wolves are cool.

[darksubverted]

[He makes a face directly into the middle distance to Yamato's left.

...

.......]

Fine. They're cool.

[ghoststrums]

[ literally just smirking at riku thanks??? smug smug smug ]

[darksubverted]

[Okay, fucking smartass. He narrows his eyes a little.]

Alright, I get it. You can wipe that grin off your face now.

[ghoststrums]

Who's grinning?

[ :3c but anyway ]

It's just nice to know you've got good taste.

[darksubverted]

You.

[>:\]

It took me admitting to the wolf bit and not me wearing your band shirt for you to realize that?

[ghoststrums]

You said the band shirt was a friend thing.

[ though he is still happy about that too thanks ]

[darksubverted]

And? I guess I don't have good tastes then. Might as well stop wearing it...

[He turns his head away, but sort of looks back at Yamato sideways.]

[ghoststrums]

You're right.

[ a beat ]

You had good taste before and great taste now.

[darksubverted]

[Noooo, this backfired. He quickly looks a little flustered, turning his head away. He's a moron.]

Okay, I get it.

[ghoststrums]

[ he's quietly laughing at him sorry ]

[darksubverted]

Hey.

[Don't LAUGH. HE JUST BROKE OUT OF AU HELL, GIVE HIM A BREAK.]

Blockhead.

[ghoststrums]

[ he lost an eye three days ago he's allowed to laugh at anyone thanks ]

So that was a genuine "you" insult, then?

[darksubverted]

[Fair, but NO.]

I guess it's just ingrained in me from having to use it so much with Sora.

[ghoststrums]

[ oh! ]

That's right, you remember him now. That friend of yours who reminds you of Taichi. [ a beat ] Blockhead fits there.

[ taichi can hear this. ]

[darksubverted]

[Okay, look. He tries very hard not to laugh because he's, like, always making an attempt to be serious. But.

He laughs.]

Yeah. They're blockheads. But we call them friends anyway.

[ghoststrums]

Childhood friendship has its downsides.

[ serenely, and also guessing based on the picture of sora riku had in his bedroom ]

[darksubverted]

Mm. Like doing all the work to build a raft because someone is lazy...

[Kairi. Sora.]

[ghoststrums]

You guys had to build a raft too?

[ i hate this ]

[darksubverted]

[i

hate this]

...Yeah. We built one to try to leave our island.

[Casually leaves out whose idea this was, and also how terribly it ended. It's fine.]

[ghoststrums]

Huh. We built one to leave File Island and cross the ocean.

[ yamato does not mention that they ended up travelling by whale very quickly because it was immediately destroyed. ]

[darksubverted]

[Same hat? SAME HAT! Sort of.]

Oh. [...] It didn't... go as planned.

[The way he says it, it almost sounds like a question.]
