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.

We might need it - I can sleep on my stomach, with my burns, but we need to make sure that they're supported no matter the position.

[ they are CRISPY and FROSTY and BATTERED, all at once! it's not great! ]

If they take some painkillers, they can be warmed by the fire and hopefully it won't be too harmful to them - though that's only in the time we have left tonight...

But that's fine.

[she'll just make a gesture with her hand and on a nearby empty couch it'll now be stacked with pillows and blankets. they'll disappear in the morning when viola is gone but for now they're here]

Let me know if this isn't enough.

It'll still be something, and they won't wake up feeling as miserable as they would have without some kind of support.

And as long as we don't warm them up too fast, or in direct heat, the frostbite'll be treatable.

[ this week has been exhausting in a different way, but he gently bumps his elbow into viola as he goes to grab the rest of the first aid kit to deal with the sleeping arrangements. in thanks, solidarity, and support. ]

[she nods... and will fall silent, going to help and make herself as busy as possible before they all knock out and she lands facefirst on the floor]
