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.

No, she was on the top floor. Kainé's. It stopped there.
...Which, considering how huge and powerful that thing was, I'm... really glad that was it. Anything stronger than that and we would've been killed. [ a pause, and ichiro makes a face. ] ... Well, we probably would've been killed, if it wasn't for.
.............Uh. Mickey Mouse.

stares at him. because he like, heard it in the background? but he thought he just misheard. and there is a long, confused silence.
and then, very softly: ] ... alpha rat?

[ FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS ]
no subject
[ HE UNDERSTANDS. BUT HE IS STILL VERY QUIET BECAUSE HIS BRAIN HURTS NOW. ]
no subject
[ BUT REALLY ] He had one of those key blade things too. And he just - showed up out of nowhere and started whaling on the monster like a god. Not kidding.
no subject
[ GOD he didn't even go on this CYOA and he is TIRED. ] Okay. So five floors. [ focus ] And the topmost was Kainé's, where you guys had to fight a giant fuck-off monster after a little mysterious blonde girl played roulette on your memories.
And... godtier Mickey Mouse came to save you.
no subject
anyway.
he nods. ] ...yeah. More or less. He had us unlock a lock with our key swords.
We did get our memories back before the monster showed up, on the top floor, at least. But they're still... [ mmrng. he reaches up, rubbing absently at his temple. ] It's still all screwed up. I remembered something that must've been Riku's - Luke's. I think we all did.
no subject
but he's still diligently writing it down, even as he massages his own temple with the end of his pen ]
... is it cohesive enough for you to be able to say what it is, or is it fragmented? The same memory for all of you?
no subject
[ he reaches up, absently, and curls his fingers around the photo he took out before. ] A boy, "Sora", and a girl. "Kairi."
no subject
... there's been a lot of differences, between these field trips. I'll see what I can learn about the other one that happened today, and try to piece it together more.
no subject
[ ichiro pulls out his phone to look at it, too. it's easier to focus on this than literally any of the other problems he's having right now. ]
I've been thinking, maybe... you know how Rupert had to kill twice, and he didn't - he couldn't tell me why, even though he told me everything else. I wonder if maybe this is what those people see.
[ he taps the screen. ] This sort of... fill in the blank thing. Like an extra credit. You know?

Fucking late-ass rat.
