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.

[ :THINKING: ]

Yeah. She said something about that, even. What could that be, though? We've got to come up with the object, not just the idea. Maybe like...a pair of goggles, or something?

A pair of goggles can work. [she taps the ones around her neck.] You could take these to her and have her imbue them if you wanted.

Wonder if that'd knock the price down any.

I can ask. She said she'd be willing to negotiate. [ ichiro smiles a little there, fond. viola and her haggling.... ]

It's not just me, either. I dunno if she'd let you do it, because you've got your power, Beau, but for anybody who doesn't have anything, it's probably fair game. I... [ a little sheepish ]... got a little frustrated, that was how I found out.

[ sometimes you just hate feeling useless!!!! ] But I think it's a good avenue. We need to pick somebody as a whole to ask for information each week, and try and come up with some items so we can spread the wealth and get these trials on lock.

[a pause.]

For sure. Any time you need me to go grab info, I can. You can also just take the goggles and not say they're from me.

And - look. [...] The truth power got Rupert caught, last time. We can't guarantee I'm not gonna get picked off because of that. So - you should have backups. Okay?

I dunno if I'm a good enough liar to get away with that. Maybe I'll just tell Vi they're cosplay.

[ haha...

...but like any happiness and laughter disappears RIGHT off of his face at that, jesus. ]
Don't say that. [ hate it! absolutely hate it!! ] Just - don't. We'll handle it.

[she frowns! she's just being realistic!!]

I mean to keep, dude. The goggles, I mean. [she will just... not keep pressing at the bad point. but she will take the goggles off and put them on his head! you are the owl now.]
