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.

[her mouth curves into a grin of her own, which shows off her sharp kitty fangies]

I called Viola soft, but honestly? Iris is anything but.

[and she likes it!!]

It's a start, yeah. It's proof that we can restore their memories period, we just need something that's way more permanent.

Hah. I can see it.

But - uh. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Hey, look, there's this spell called Greater Restoration that we have back home. It does this sort of thing, actually. Like, we actually just got done dealing with a bunch of people who lost their memories, so I know it works.

Maybe we can all save up to get it, see what happens.

[her ears flick forward immediately at that, chin lifted]

It's worth a try. Even if Kon's thing works, we'll definitely need more than one method to restore those lost memories, since there are four dorm heads.

[and they can't just fix Viola, they have to fix Sally and Chad and Luke too!]

[nodding!]

I don't know if I'd be able to use it, either, because I'm not a cleric, but - worth a shot, like you said. We gotta make sure all of them aren't stuck like this.

Yeah.

[. . .]

I heard that people have broken through to Luke and Chad, but what about Sally?

Uhhhh. I feel like I heard at one point, yeah? But I don't remember who said it. I can try? I haven't talked to her yet, but I don't have a mind coupon or anything.

You should talk to her. Sally's nice.

[she is biased b/c Sally was her former dorm head. . .]

I'll talk to Summer and see if any of them have observed her acting weirdly.
