WINTER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 3
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, we're getting into the holiday spirit! So pop some bubbly, be a little sweet - it's that time of year.
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.

It sounds plausible. Though I do not want to give any of you the wrong impression—I was not actually able to negate the force controlling us.
[ so... hard to say if it'd actually work now, though he doesn't sound discouraging. ]
I think I was able to manipulate myself enough for a better outcome, but whether this is possible, or if it may have consequences, remains to be seen.

...What was it like, if you don't mind us asking?

The execution, or the power itself? It is... [ hmmm ] I wouldn't say it's terribly noticeable. Maybe not at all, for most.

oh! he snaps his fingers. right. ] Oh, yeah - that's right, it's still going, right? It'll wear off tomorrow...
[ hmmm... ] You're a pretty observant guy, though, right? Definitely not most. [ heh! with a grin. ]

[ he looks increasingly disoriented by this conversation? so he changes tack a bit. ]
In any case, I think it would be worthwhile to consider. Not everyone is comfortable with their minds being affected so, but it sounds like Iris would be all right with any opportunity.

Don't worry. I'm not going to do it without Viola's permission.
[. . . her good hand migrates to the bac of her neck, almost on instinct]
no subject
Yeah, hell yeah. We gotta ask her first. [ consent is key!!!! ] I think you had a great idea, though, Catra. Good thinking.
no subject
[she looks away, maybe turning slightly red]
It's whatever, you know? What else was I going to use this dumb coupon on?
[besides self-defense murder??]
no subject
but just kind of closes his eyes for a second and smiles and thinks

Hey, there were way worse options. You made a good pick.

You know every time you say something like that it just makes me want to shove my hand into your face, right?

[acknowledged u_u! because Adora totally understands why she's a little tense about all this]
no subject
I think that would be best. Thank you.

[btw she's wearing a dunce cap]
[it might]
[look]
[familiar. . .]

stares at the dunce cap with some real sympathy. ]
You as well...
no subject
[yanks the cap off of her head with a low snarl]
Do you feel compelled to wear this every week?
no subject
Not this week, at least...
I have wondered if it's based off class attendance somewhat.

We just need to be aware there may be consequences, or that it may not work as intended. Human minds can be... fragile.
