WINTER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 3

[dormheads]

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.

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.)

I traded it in for a coupon that could "restore Viola's lost or rewritten memories." Worked like a charm once it came through.

[leans back on one hand, though notably it's the one on the arm that wasn't injured]

Ask her if she'd be willing to try the same thing on one of the other dorm heads. I'd suggest Sally, since I haven't heard about anyone being able to break through to her yet.

[though that could just be because she hasn't spoken to a Summer her told her about it yet]

[ he taps his thumb on his screen, and then starts typing as catra describes it, nodding. ]

I haven't, either. It's been the other three - from experience and word of mouth - but I don't have as much information coming out of Sally's dorm as I do the other ones.

[ gonna work on that... ]

. . . I'll talk to Summer. See what I can get from them.

[she should've done it last week but I, an innocent Al, forgot]

And I'll try talking to Sally herself, too. Even though I don't know how far that'll get me.

[ small toast with his phone, before it buzzes in his hand. he scans the text quick, snorts at something in it, then starts texting back. ]

Manwol hasn't used it yet. So we'll see how things turn out with her there. But it's worth talking to the people in Summer, if not Sally herself to see if you can't possibly meet Annie.

[another nod]

Yeah. I'll give that a shot. And if I get anything, I'll report back to you guys.
