dormheads | WINTER COMMON ROOM

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.

[she just manages a soft huff at that before summoning a palm-sized heating pad. she'll offer it out to her as well, in case she wants to press it against her skin anywhere that there isn't an immediate injury]

Oh - it's not any trouble for me... [soft and touched over beau's worry] But let me be here for you as much as I can until it does go away.

[oh, she likes this? hello? it's nice and warm and she presses it to her arm with a wince. it's real rough, her frostbite is like, over the burns in places, so it hurts a whole fuckin' lot.]

... Thank you. [people being nice to her is making her kind of verklempt]

Kon also got more painkillers so if anything hurts too much, let me know and I'll get some for you to take the edge off.

[but her expression softens]

But of course, Beauregard. Anytime and anything.

I might actually take you up on that.

[her hitpoints are real low]

... Uh - uh, how much would it be to heal some of the burns?

[she looks so relieved that she's being asked]

Five base price, but I'd bring it down to three.

[... long pause, and then:]

It - it, um. It really hurts. [wheeze.] I told - uh.

[.................. what the fuck is his name]

The red-haired guy to fuck off earlier because I didn't want him to waste shit I could just power through but I can't - move, really.

[the. the red-haired. oh no. viola will gently offers - ]

... Caleb, perhaps?

[but she'll glance around the common room and raise her voice slightly, clapping her hands together for attention]

Might anyone be willing to spare a few vouchers to help handle burns for the injured? 3 per person. I'll discount all your future purchases from me for the next week without question in exchange for your generosity.

If we can get them exchanged in small quantities we might be able to see to most of their immediate injuries.

I still have some.

[ sir ]

[elbows him angrily]

Heal your own self.

[ ow???? elbows her back?? ]

You're the one that gave me your goggles. Paying you back. [ bitch ]

Can I ask you for 1, Ichiro? I know you already made a purchase this week.

[Adora immediately raises her hand.]

Yeah, whatever you need. [ANYTHING TO HELP WINTER DORM INJURIES...]

Might I ask you for two, Adora?

[ he's too awkward for a lot of the hugging it out portion of this, but he nods at her. ]

...I can contribute a few.

[she smiles]

I have enough to address all their burns - but anything extra from here will let me deal with their other injuries.

I know you've already been working hard too, Dimitri, so only if you're able to spare.
