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.

[rip, but also look at my son that you made me sad about.]

Guess that makes sense. [but he tilts his head.] I don't know though. I think I held my own pretty well and...I like the idea of having a way to defend myself and protect other people. You know that.

[darksubverted]

[He lets out a quiet, amused snort.]

Sounds familiar. You and Sora really would get along. [Weird.] I guess you're just going to have to help me put a stop to this, and then find a Keyblade Master.

Since you seem to think you've got what it takes.

[goalsides]

I'm pretty sure I do, yeah. [it's easy to fake the confidence now that he's not dying, but yeah.]

...but we'll do everything we can to help. All four of you. Are you going to go talk to the others soon?

[darksubverted]

[Sounds like something a Sora would say.]

Yeah. I need to make sure they're... here too. We'll try to come up with a plan on where to get started. Or... what we can do now while we're not under this place's control.

[goalsides]

Sounds like a good idea. And you'll update us as soon as you know...?

[let them help, like, immediately.]

[darksubverted]

[TAICHI, NO.]

Yeah, I will. I just can't promise we'll have anything substantial yet.

[goalsides]

[taichi yes.]

You've seen the kind of information we have right now, right? [even non-substantial is fine.]

[darksubverted]

I know.

[looks at the sky]

We'll work on it. All we can ask is for you to keep playing along with this ridiculous game. For a little while.

[goalsides]

I'm not gonna like it. But fine. I'll keep playing.

[...]

I need to buy some stuff from you anyway.

[darksubverted]

[That makes two of them.]

I'm still able to sell. So whenever you're ready.

[goalsides]

[...glancing at the room at large where everyone is.]

Does it have to be today to count for your points for the--why am I asking, does that even actually matter?

[darksubverted]

[Look, it doesn't have to be a shady drug deal in front of God and everyone, Taichi.]

The Dorm Wars? I don't know... Maybe we would get our own pocket dimension.

[goalsides]

Stupid. [nope, still don't care about the pocket dimension!] ...but okay. Cool, I'll...let you know.

[darksubverted]

[For some reason, he wants to teasingly say, "You're stupid," but a) stop, it's weird, and b) he's trying to pretend like he isn't five years old.]

Okay. Try not to do anything I wouldn't do.
